every now and then.
Twenty-five dollars.
Fifty. Plus expenses.
And it's not blackmail,
it's extortion.
- How about we call it
earning your allowance,
and then I pay you nothing?
How does that sound?
- Uh, really bad.
OK, why don't we
call it food allowance because
I inherited your cooking gene?
Thirty five.
But I really need you
to look after him, all right?
No strangers in the house,
and absolutely no
TV. Got it? Deal?
Deal.
- Apparently space isn't
the final frontier.
- Great. And just make him
feel comfortable.
- Mom, no crazy person ever feels
comfortable. That's why they're crazy.
Right?
I am here only for the beer.
How do I look?
Say yes to beautiful.
- Call me if there's
an emergency.
Don't worry, we won't.
Wassup?
- Not me. I'm going back to bed.
- Yo quiero Taco Bell?
I don't do breakfast.
But I can tell you
my rules of disengagement.
You must do exactly as I say,
you must obey my every command,
and you must stay at least five
feet away from me at all times...
that includes right now.
Got it?
It is so nice to see that
someone else in this world is
more screwed up than me.
- I mean, that one's
all right.
It's a bit boring, though.
And this one, just rubbish.
It's rubbish. Jenny,
what do you think?
- Yeah, yeah, it's rubbish.
- Rubbish.
Go down to post, try and salvage
something out of that rubbish.
Tell me you got something
for me.
- Something.
- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.
- Oh look, she's still here.
- She is still here. Bye-bye.
- Speak.
- Take a look.
That says that in our contracts
we have a termination clause
which states that the employer can terminate
the contract if the employee becomes
mentally ill.
- So all I have to do is get
that he's nuts, and I'm done.
- Mm-hmm.
But...
- But?
- There's an easier and more
convincing way.
- I'm getting very excited.
Someone Adan knows. It's hard
or a friend's opinion,
but even better if it's
someone that's in his life
right now.
- Have I ever told you how good
at your job you are?
No.
Oh, well.
- I just fall for that
every time.
- Short sales or bank-owned properties
or commercial real estate,
agents who can help speed up
the process no matter
how intricate. And that's good news
whether you're trying to sell
or hoping to buy.
Because the only sign
you really want
to see is "Sold".
Nobody sells more real estate
than Remax.
- So will you? I hope so.
I know so. Ice cream?
Let's make things interesting.
- I'm not going to try it.
You try it.
I'm gettin' it...
- The one, the only,
In Styler rotate...
- Meltdown...
- The sand between your toes.
That's disgusting.
- He likes it! Hey, Mikey!
- It's essential. - Meltdown.
- Meltdown. - He likes it!
I hope so. I know so.
Do you want a man who smells
like he can bake you a gourmet
built you with his own hands?
Of course... - ...you know it's
only a matter of time.
- Regular Life and Cinnamon Life.
- Where's the beef?
- Do you feel it?
The sand between your toes.
- It proves if you don't f*** with your
safety belt, the loser is...
Oh, poop already!
- No, that satellite has to have
- Meltdown.
- Right now.
- Oh, c'est incroyable!
T'entends a chrie?
- Only the In Styler combines
a rotating heated...
- Seriously, four feet
by five feet... - Adan?
My god.
Snap out of it.
Snap out of it!
What?
Unwrap paradise.
- Jesus.
- Must-see TV.
Better?
- Takes a lickin',
keeps on tickin'.
- You killed the TV!
- Meghan, what did you do?
- What did I do?
I didn't do anything!
- What did you do
when I was gone?
- What are you talking about?
- Where did you go?
- We went on a sightseeing tou...
- What did I say?! What did I say?!
- What are you talking about?!
- I said no TV!
- I'm sorry!
- I said no TV!
- I said I was sorry!
- I said no TV.
- OK, what do you want me to do?
Go back in time?
- Yes, that's what I want you to do...
go back in time, let's do it all over again!
- Great! Great! Then we can
both go back, Mother,
say about two years, and you can
fix everything that you did wrong!
And don't even pretend you don't
know what I'm talking about!
Every time you look at me,
I can feel it!
You're in complete denial!
I'm not in denial.
- We earn our wings
every day.
Sell it somewhere else.
Mom, I'm sorry, OK?
I didn't mean to say that.
I was just pissed.
Say something.
Please.
- I'm not that good
at playing Supermom.
I can't even fit into the joke ones
they sell at the mall anymore.
The only way for me to deal
with it is by not dealing.
If I didn't, I'd cry
all the time.
And why do you think I work
so hard at the hospital?
It's all just a distraction.
- I don't want to end up
hating each other forever.
Neither.
I mean, look at us.
One day we're gonna end up arguing
ourselves to death over a spoon.
A spoon?
Yeah, a spoon.
- It wouldn't even be
a good spoon.
Some...
cheap plastic spoon...
...that's melted
in the dishwasher.
- And we'd have to get
a new dishwasher.
Come here, give me a hug.
I love you.
Stupid catalyst spoon.
This Bud's for you.
- Oh, that's very sweet
of you, Adan. Thank you.
You gave me quite a scare
in there, you know?
Pressure's off.
- What happened in there,
it's not OK.
You know that, right?
I know you're very aware
of what's going on.
Perhaps more
than most people.
But you don't give anything out
about yourself.
- Never let 'em see you sweat.
- What happened to you?
Not just recently,
but for the last 20 years.
- Pleasing people
the world over.
- Welcome, Senator.
It's so nice to see you.
If you'll just follow me.
- I know where I'm going.
OK.
- It's your place.
You own this place, man. Wow.
You're amazing. You good?
You OK?
You're great.
You're amazing.
Hello. Mr. Kundle.
It's a pleasure
to have you back. Hi.
If you'll just come this way.
Oh, just Mr. Kundle.
- Oh, but, I... I can't come?
I don't like lobbies.
It's not my thing.
Really?
- If it ain't broke...
- Don't fix it.
You're good?
You're in good hands?
Mr. Kundle?
In here. So,
Mr. Foster will be with you shortly.
Would you like something to drink?
Crisp, clean, no caffeine.
Hm. Water? OK.
There you go. Thank you.
Whew.
- Senator Allen, hello.
- Cut the dog and pony act,
Lucas. What the hell's going on
with my campaign? - What?
- I was expecting to see this
new commercial of yours a week ago.
- It's ready.
- So let's see it.
It's down in post-production, colour correction,
sound edits, and all that boring stuff.
- Ah, there's the dog.
- Uh...
OK? And it's gonna be perfect.
Everything you ever wanted
and more.
- And there's the pony.
If it's not ready tomorrow
I'm going to have a talk
with Chance Williams.
- There's no need, is there?
