Here's to the little jerks.

Do you think we should

take him to a shrink?

No. No. He's fine.

He's not fine.

It's because I lost him in that mall.

Baby. That was three years ago...

and you were more freaked out

than he was.

Some kids are just nervous, you know?

My brother was the same way.

Yeah, now he lives alone

in a trailer park.

-He doesn't live alone.

-Yes, he does!

No, he's got, like, 20 cockatoos.

You are not making me feel better!

Maybe you could coach.

What, high school?

Yeah. It'd be something.

I mean, you'd be happy.

Yeah, I'd be hungry. We'd all be.

Can't support a family

coaching high school.

I should go back to work.

Again with that? Come on.

You don't wanna do that.

You're gonna leave me all alone

with these monsters?

I need new underwear.

Look at these.

These are sad.

Your underwear is sad?

Yes, my underwear is sad.

Well, mine are very happy right now,

so get over here.

I'm serious.

You can't keep holding out

for something at your old salary.

I think you're holding out.

-Why can't I just look for something?

-I'm not holding out.

Because we agreed I'd work

so you could write your book.

That's what we agreed about.

I'm not writing my book.

You will,

when the kids go back to school.

Don't put this on the kids.

This is all me.

Hey, I'm gonna find something, okay?

You gotta trust me.

We got that dinner party tomorrow night.

You love parties.

You can watch me drink bourbon.

It's gonna be such a drag.

We don't even know those people.

But Gary knows them.

He says the husband might be hiring.

Yeah.

Maybe our luck is about to change.

Aren't you feeling lucky?

I think things are looking up.

You're such a dork!

I'm a dork? I'm a dork?

You and your sad underwear.

Take your pants off.

Yes, ma'am.

-Really?

-Yes, really.

-Wow.

-Play ball.

All right.

-Dad!

-Yes!

Hey. What's up, buddy?

There's something upstairs.

I think there's something in my room.

I'll be out there in a second.

So much for my luck.

-Don't move.

-Okay.

I'll be right back.

Think dirty thoughts.

What is it, buddy?

Where is it? In the attic?

Houses make noises at night.

It's normal, I promise.

Not our old house.

Well, that's true.

Tell me where you heard it.

Where did all of these clowns come from?

I found them in there.

Why would somebody have a box of clowns?

People collect weird things, pal.

I don't like it up here.

What's the matter? You scared?

What are you scared of?

Everything.

You're gonna get over that.

You gotta try to worry less, kiddo.

You know?

If you're scared all the time,

Maddy's gonna get scared.

You gotta set a good example.

You're the big brother.

You gotta be brave, you know?
