Jake's the lucky one.

Aren't you?

To have a father like you.

I never knew my father.

And my mother died when I was...

not much bigger than Jake.

I'm sorry.

Do you want to

put him down now?

I think he's about ready.

Good night, buddy.

Sweet dreams.

Don't let the bedbugs bite.

I love you.

Shh.

I've got some

news on the earthquake for you.

Not too bad as far

as these things go,

considering that

we're crazy enough to

keep living on top of it all.

A 3.9 is the report

I've got, and centered

about 10 miles off the coast.

No major damages or

injuries, just lots of jars

off shelves and

jangled nerves.

The usual for

southern California.

If I hear anything

else I'll let you know;

otherwise, let's just

keep slidin' through

the night together

on KCRW with a piece

by the Sydney-based group,

Not Drowning Waving,

from their album Claim.

Soon, Jake, soon.

It will be time to go

to the sacred forest.

You'll have mother's milk today.

You missed it,

didn't you?

Yeah.

Hey, sweetheart.

What's happenin'?

Is that your

purse over there?

What's your name,

little guy?

What's the matter?

Cat got your tongue?

Hey, is that

little guy yours?

Yes.

You know you shouldn't

be out here so late.

It gets weird out here.

Would you like

us to walk you home?

- No, thank you.

- Why not?

Keep away.

I warn you.

Ooh!

You warn me?

You don't f***in' warn me.

B*tch.

I...

warn...

you.

Hey, where you goin'?

Hey!

Come on back!

Where the f*** did she go?

I need a f***in' beer.

Oh, sh*t.

F***in' b*tch.

I think she came this way.

What do you think?

You ever been

out here before?

No.

The f***?

F***.

We're gonna have some fun!

Aren't we?

You and me.

Right?

Ooh!

Well, how you doin'

there, big boy?

You wanna come out and play?

Leave him alone!

Look at this.

See, see this?

You like this?

Cut the b*tch!

Hmm?

What's this?

Mmm, oh!

Pretty!

What the hell is that?

Look out!

Hi, I'm Gail.

- Good to see you.

- It's a great place, man.

Hello.

Do come in.

Hi.

Anyway, they've bought us

on this 75 second commercial,

and we said, "Look, we're

telling a story in this ad."

It's the most

successful campaign.

You can't believe

the product now.

That is...

It was good.

But getting back to

the one we did...

Tell the story, it's funny,

it has a beginning,

middle, and end.

Sex, violence.

So that's your

best commercial,

what's your second

best commercial?

I'm not saying it's the best!

When I was a little kid,

I'm like 13 years old, right?

And my parents made the

mistake of leaving me

in the house all

alone for a weekend.

That was a big mistake.

Yes.

When they came back,

I had completely,
