Please.

Somebody please help us!

Oh, heck no, we've had a lot

of social workers come here,

but you're the first

for dinner.

So, Francis, what's up

with you tonight, huh?

- Nothing.

- Anything you wanna talk about?

Anything at all? School maybe?

I don't know...

Well, you know, if there is,

you just jump on in, all right?

Yeah, he told me he wasn't

feeling too well this morning.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, thank you, Darlene.

That's, uh... quite a creative look

you've got going there,

young lady.

- What do you call that, huh?

- Death.

Ah, death. That's cute.

So tell me, David,

are you and Wendell

still working over there

at Del Rancho?

I don't know if I could work

at a slaughterhouse, huh?

Yeah, well, my father

owned a farm

when we were younger

and he did the same thing,

so I guess it just

came naturally.

Well...

so, like, what do they have you

doing over there?

I mean...

you don't have to kill the animals

and all that stuff, do you, David?

Heavens, no.

No no, I'm a carver.

I take out the organs,

prep them, stuff like that.

Yes, David has a real knack

for gutting the life out of things.

Thank you, Darlene.

So... too bad there's not-

not a demand

on the black market for cow parts.

You would be a rich man

by now.

Not at the table,

please, Francis.

I apologize. Paul, he's been

following us around with that thing

for the past few days-

some sort of school project

- or something or other.

- No, that's fine with me.

I think it's kind of cool.

Francis, tell me about the project.

Well, it's uh-

I'm supposed to write

a report about my family-

our family-

and I just asked if I could

shoot a video instead.

Good. Now, that's a good idea.

That is a great idea.

- I hated doing papers. I hated it.

- Me too.

I really did.

- Hey, gang.

- Hey, Wendell.

- Hey.

- How are you?

- Good, Paul. How are you?

- Good, thanks.

Am I late?

What do you think,

Wendell?

David,

may I please be excused?

- We're not finished eating.

- No no no, let the boy go.

- Mm-hmm.

- He's probably bored out of his mind.

- Where are you going, Francis?

- I used to have two younger brothers,

so I understand these things.

They are a handful.

That was great, you guys.

Thanks a lot.

I know I'm not much

of a cook, but I do try.

Not to worry. You probably never

tasted my wife's cooking, huh?

Well, I'll be in the kitchen

cleaning.

Did you hear that?

Oh, it's probably cats...

f***ing.

Yep, that's cats

f***ing, all right-

getting after it.

What do you think, David?

Who'd have thought?

- Listen, that was a great dinner.

- Thank you.

- I'll talk to you soon.

- Thanks. Yeah.

- Thanks, David.

- Good night, Paul.
