I guess she got tired

of always hearing them ask,

"when's daddy

coming home?"

You know...

So one day she, uh...

she lost it.

She took her kids to the edge of the lake.

She pulled them into the water

and she drowned 'em.

The, uh...

So, you want to know what happened, right?

They found her husband.

They found his body while

I was up on Ranger patrol

up in the tundra.

He was dead.

He really did go hunting

for a caribou or muskox.

But he died.

I guess he was out hunting

and he got charged.

Killed by a muskox.

Got him in the back with his horns,

it pierced his heart and

his lungs from behind.

Hit him so hard that, um...

that muskox couldn't pull out.

They were stuck together.

That man must have bled to death.

Muskox couldn't eat...

They died together.

That woman killed her kids for nothing.

Ahhhhh!

Here, dude...

Listen, Lare...

I gotta teach you some moves.

Yeah?

You better.

Next time someone like Darcy gets to you,

just remember it's three hits.

You hittin' them,

I'm serious...

and then... the ambulance

hits ninety...

All right...

Okay...

Come at me...

Gimme your hand...

With your hand

on my chest...

Ugh!

Lare, come on...

You're supposed to block it.

Wanna know what is embarassing?

That muskrat mouth.

Time for a shave

there...

Juliet will be here in a bit.

Maybe she'll bring a friend.

Go to the bathroom and shave

that fuzz off your lip.

Sometimes your shirt slips down

and I see some scars on your neck.

Well?

Well what?

Larry, man, what the hell happened to you?

I was born this way.

Lemme see that neck...

Those are f***ing burn marks, Larry.

I had an accident.

Yeah, I guess you had an accident.

When was this?

Why is Darcy teasing you with fire?

Well?

What the f*** happened to you, man?!

I got kissed by the devil, man.

They're f***ing hickeys!

Hey, Donny, what are you doing?

What does it look like, chief?

What's up, Dog-lick?

Were you pushin' or pullin' in there?

I said were you pushing

or pulling in there?

WHACK!

Lare!

WHACK-WHACK

WHACK!

WHACK!

Holy sh*t, Larry.

If you were Mexican, you'd be Rocky.

Yeah, man...

You didn't have to do that though.

You totally busted his nose.

You owe me for wiping up

the blood, by the way.

Gimme your gum.

Chief!

You got purple eyelids

and gum in your hair.

What's your point?

My point, dick-smack,

is you got purple eyelids

and gum in your hair.

Sh*t.

Classy.

Real classy.

You really did it, buddy.

Now, you're in.

And now you really got

to learn the rules of fighting.

Next time you're at a party

and someone wants to fight,

they might grab you.

Well...

You are fair game now.

If you get into a fight

and you get hurt bad...
