When do the boys show up?

It's Dyke Night, sweetie.

- It's what?

- Dyke Night.

Dyke Night?

I showed up on Dyke Night?

Yeah.

Sh*t.

- Jesus.

- Hey!

Cal's Corner, f***ing Dyke Night.

- What?

- Oh, boy.

Dyke Night.

Milo, can we talk

about this in the morning?

Sandra and Melissa were very nice.

They were two lesbian ladies

who taught me how to play darts.

But they were not what I was looking for.

What I was looking for,

and you should know this

since we're now related, Lance,

I was looking for some cock.

Okay, Milo, enough.

You're fine 'cause

you're married to my sister.

- You're off-limits.

- "Off-limits."

Just letting you know,

if any of your little buddies

around, just...

- Milo! Go to bed.

- I will be on them like steak on rice.

Okay, Milo, good night.

I'm just letting you know. I'm

a little tipsy. I'm sorry.

- That's okay.

- No sh*t.

- Milo, good night.

- Good night.

- Yeah, about last night...

- You can't do stuff like that.

Sorry, I was just trying to blow

off some steam, that's all. I just...

So, Lance and I were talking,

and he might need some help

on this trail project at the dam.

Just clearing brush and stuff.

A trail project at the dam?

Yeah. It's what he does.

What do you mean, clearing brush?

Like picking up sticks?

Brush! Sticks and leaves

and pieces of bushes and stuff.

- It might be good for you.

- So, it's like a job?

It might be nice

for you to spend time with him and stuff.

Be out in nature with the brush.

Do I get a sexy outfit?

I'll make sure of it.

Here.

Probably should've worn longer sleeves.

Yeah, no, I mean, next time, you know?

'Cause then if you have long sleeves,

you can make more of a scooping motion.

You might be able to get

more with each grab, you know?

Yeah, no, I get it.

I'm not really an outdoorsy kind of guy.

Right. Well, no worries, my man.

You know, I got an extra

fleece in the truck.

- You want me to go...

- No, no, I'm good.

- Thank you.

- You got it?

Oh, you gotta be f***ing kidding me.

You okay? You all right?

Take a breath. Take a breath.

What happened down there?

Nothing, I'm fine.

- Yeah?

- I'm fine.

All right.

Hello?

- Hi.

- What the hell's that?

Happy first day of work.

You didn't have to do that.

What, you don't like it?

No, I love it. It's great.

So, I told somebody that I was in town,

and I didn't think she would come,

so don't freak out.

Hi, angel.

Mother.

Oh, dear.

Okay, broken glass. Everybody freeze.

I'm gonna go get a dustpan. You okay?

- Yeah.

- I'm gonna go get a dustpan.

Okay.

- So, that's Tanner?

- No, that's Tad.

Tanner's the oldest.

They look a lot like their father.

- See?
