- Mm?

Do you know this man?

Didn't I tell you

not to talk to strangers?

Are you listening?

And throw that away, Zack.

It's dirty.

So, you got yourself

in big trouble, huh?

Not me. A friend.

I cosigned his loan.

A cosigner?

Man, you are in big trouble.

- Do you mind?

- No, no, no. Help yourself.

Dave?

There's also fruit

in the bottom drawer.

Eat some. It'll make the fridge

lighter on the way down.

Oh, that's very kind.

I hadn't thought of that.

Oh, it's flat.

Coke?

Can't you see I'm working?

How many inches is the screen?

Screen?

- Which screen?

- The TV screen.

In the box in the living room.

It's not mine.

It's a gift for my father.

He's turning 80.

Did you buy it?

Yes, I did, but...

My friend, if you can't pay

your debts, don't buy presents.

Excuse me.

It's Mr. Portman's dad's birthday.

Shut up.

Lenny, how about

you move your ass

and start taking things

down to the truck?

Maybe you can get your dad a book

about the meaning of life, instead.

I just ordered one.

They're not as expensive

as you'd think.

Can you please come with me

to the living room?

What's this?

It's my magic trunk.

Right!

I knew you were familiar!

You're Marcus Pokus.

You were on that TV show

with the curly-haired guy and the dog.

Tulip! Woof!

Oh, they're here. Thank you.

- Hey!

- Hey.

This isn't my microwave.

I bet yours is much nicer.

Are you from Samson Movers?

Sorry.

I can't believe how late they are.

Yeah. Never trust movers.

And repossessors?

We're always on time.

What do you think you're doing?

Alla shazam!

Alla shazoom!

Wow!

You bring that TV back

right away, you hear?!

I've already made out

a receipt for it!

- What's your name?

- Dave.

Keep an eye on this creep.

I'm going to the police.

If anything else disappears,

write it down.

With the unicorn?

No, I haven't seen that one,

but from the second I saw you,

I could tell

that you were a supermodel.

I better call again...

...to find out where my stuff is.

- Can I have your number?

- My number?

You don't even know my name.

I was gonna call you

and ask you what your name is.

I want to see him laugh

when his cell mate

decides he needs a wife.

Hey, Sammy, have you met...?

Well, you'll have to call

to find out.

Come on.

We're going to the police.

Wait! Sammy!

Oh, mate,

this is going to take us all day!

- Jeez, what's in this thing?

- Buggered if I know.

Lenny!

Wanna see a cool trick?

Drazan,

I told you a thousand times...

fart torching is very dangerous.

No, no, something else.

That's a good one!

Shh.

- Hello?

- Hi, I'm calling about the car.

Sorry. Wrong number.

Oh, sorry. Thanks.

You're welcome. Bye.

Ha ha! You thought it was her.

Don't be an ass.

F*** her! You got us.

Here you go.

Wish your dad

a happy birthday for me.

Thanks.

Hey, Marcus!

Alla shazam!

Alla shazoom!

Excuse me, do you know

where Dave Peck lives?

I'm Dave.

Sign here, please.

Thanks.

Wow.

Wow.

You know what this book is?

F*** off!

Thanks, Dad.

It's so simple.

Dad, I read the book.

What book?

Why are you back so early?

The book

about the meaning of life.

What's so funny?

That people always think

that there's just one meaning

when actually there are six.

Dave... look at me.

Did they fire you?

I don't think so.

Maybe.

Why? What did you do?

Nothing. I helped this guy

from the sixth floor.

Mr. Pokus.

And that's why they fired you?

Don't lie to me.

You know, the book says

that people never lie.

It's just that sometimes reality...

Stop that, all right? Stop it!

Where's Lenny?

I think he went to the police.

The police? Is he in trouble?

No, no.

It's just that he went with his boss

to press charges against Mr. Pokus.

Pokus?

That's the guy you helped.

Yes.

- Dave, did you do anything illegal?

- Maybe.

Maybe?!

No, it's nothing like that...

I don't think

I wanna hear anymore.

But...

I'm gonna take a shower.

I'm bored.

Why?

Now that you've put the queens down,

it's starting to get intriguing.

I'm depressed.

Do you want a cup of tea?

I want something exciting

to happen!

Hello.

Good evening.

I'm calling for Quick-Pulse Surveys.

Do you have the time

to answer a few questions for me?

Go for it.

Assuming there is

no substantial price difference,

would you prefer

an o zone-safe product?

No.

Are you in any way biased

against cosmetic companies

who experiment on animals?

No.

Would you consider boycotting a

company that operates sweatshops?

Guess.

No?

Oh, baby, baby, you must be

the quickest jumping-bean in the race.

Thank you.

I just have two more questions.

I have a question for you.

If I stopped eating meat,

would you hide my salami?

I'm feeling a little better.

Who is it?

- It's me.

- Lenny!

What's your name, kid?

I'm sorry. I'm not allowed

to talk to strangers.

Nice flowers, huh?

Who are they for?

Oh, this model. First date.

Model?

It's like a girl...

...only prettier.

Oh, Uni years are the best!

It's all downhill from there.

That's why you have

to be extra careful not to graduate.

I never finished.

I'm missing a couple of courses.

I told you... he's the man!

First-year Engineering

and... something else.

Engin-eer-ing.

We've got

a mid-semester exam tomorrow.

We better go study.

Engin-eer-ing.

You'll be back tomorrow, right?

You bring the beer,

we'll bring more beer.

No, I don't know

what the meaning of life is,

but whatever it is, it's not about

getting your big brother into trouble.

I didn't...

Sure, you didn't.

You should have seen Sammy

with the cops.

He didn't even have

the receipts to file charges.

- And who had the receipts?

- Listen, Lenny, you're...

Look, I know you're a good person,

but getting f***ed over

by a good person hurts just the same.

How can I stay mad at someone

who makes such good cheesecake?

Dad isn't talking to me.

He's been in the shower

over an hour now.

Don't worry.

One bite of this wondercake,

and he'll forgive you.

You're not gonna finish it?

I'm supposed

to have dinner in 15 minutes.

- How do I look?

- Good.

Good enough for a supermodel?

Think positive.

Okay, I'm leaving.

Hey, you can't go

before you hear the meaning of life!

Hear it?

I'm on my way to meet it.

It's 30 seconds to full time.

The Socceroos are trailing 3-4.

All eyes are to Soccer Jack.

He's stealing the ball,

passing two defenders.

Jack is nearing the goal.

The crowd jumps to its feet!

Will he do it?

Time for bed, Zacky.

Hello?

Good evening.

I'm calling for Quick-Pulse Surveys.

Do you have the time

to answer a few questions for me?

Sure.

What is your current job?

I'm unemployed at the moment.

How would you define

your current mood?

Excellent, good, neutral,

bad, or awful?

Oh...

I guess I'm okay.

Okay?

So, I'm putting down "good."

Is there a job you

would prefer to your current job?

I'm unemployed.

Right. I'm sorry.

What job would you like to have?

I wanted to work

as a phone surveyor.

I said I was sorry.
