- Strike that from the record.

Put that puppet away.

I need some help. Could I get

a few bucks on next month's rent?

- What the f*** is this?

- Don't touch that!

- Who's Lorraine?

- My girlfriend.

What's this? More art?

That's my girlfriend.

And these are all pieces of art.

I didn't want you

dropping by unexpectedly.

I'm working

on some very important pieces.

Yeah... I'll see you later.

I don't want to discuss this.

Get your coat on. There's nothing

to eat in this house.

Hey, I know you.

You're the artist. The box lady.

Mark Cordell bought a couple

How you doing? Nice to meet you.

Remember those frozen things

- RoboPops?

- Yeah, go get some.

- The Park and Ride in Banktree.

- What time?

- 7 a.m.

Look... you'll be fine.

We're not animals.

I've got a kid, too. A teenager.

I know what you're going through.

Hang in there.

What's your name?

- I can't tell you my name.

- What do I call you then?

Captain Crunch.

Captain, thanks.

How are you holding up, Annie?

How have you been feeling?

- You tell me. You listen in.

- I don't enjoy it.

- You don't?

- No.

- He may start to ask questions.

- He won't.

I want to finish this quickly,
