And So It Goes Page #3

in my wallet.

- Think of all the nice chemicals you can buy.

- It's Rita.

Where does she live?

- I don't know.

- Too bad for you.

- I know where her parents used to live.

- Her parents?

I kept the address 'cause we used

to break in to take stuff to sell,

- when we got desperate.

- You sure they don't live there anymore.

They moved.

They kept getting robbed.

Jason...

why didn't you steal from me?

Luke wouldn't let us.

How can he not just fall in love.

Really, I don't think he's ever

gotten over his wife's death.

It's hard to imagine him

loving anyone.

Can Caleb and Dylan have popsicles?

Only if you give me a kiss.

And I want my kiss right on my nose.

Okay! Now we're talking.

One, two... and we got three.

Three popsicles, go. Have fun.

Stay away from that one,

he showed me his penis.

You're really a detective with

the Bridgeport Police Department.

I'm still allowed to have some fun.

There's something about seeing

the law in a bathing suit.

You came over to tell me that?

I was wondering if you could find the

people that owned this house,

10 years ago.

I don't think I can do that, Oren.

It's amazing how nicely our two cars

fit together side by side.

- I used to love the slip n' slide.

- Well, I'm sure you did.

- I'll be right out!

- Okay, take your time.

- You're the piano player.

- Yeah.

Artie Burns.

I play with Leah at the Oaks Bistro.

- What are you doing here?

- I came here to pick her up.

- You mean on a date?

- Yeah.

You're not her type. She likes

the man with actual hair.

- Well I've been going with her...

- Sleeping with her? - Well, no.

I am.

Don't embarrass yourself.

Hey! You told him we had sex!

- How much they pay you?

- Did you tell him we had sex?

- How much?

- Six hundred dollars.

- They are stealing from you.

- The food is sh*t.

They come for you.

- I don't know.

- Okay, thank you.

- I told you.

You have a beautiful voice.

Particularly when you make it

all the way through a song.

- I can get you a job that pays twice as much.

- What?

- From now on, I'm going to be your agent.

- You're insane.

I'm a salesman, that's what I do.

I know a hot property when I see one.

- Hot property? This is a hot property?

- You bet your ass.

Look, I...

I don't need an agent actually.

- Yes, you do.

- No, I really don't need an agent.

And if I did,

it certainly wouldn't be you.

What are your qualifications

for example.

Here's my qualifications.

You don't have to pay me rent

until I find you a job

at 1200 a week.

- Really?

- Really.

- I got to go.

- I consider that an oral contract.

I... I don't think so...

How old are you?

Ten on Friday.

Dad told you.

- Does your mom ever visit you on your birthday?

- I don't know my mom.

- What about grandparents.

- You're my grandparent.

- Aren't you?

- Yeah, I guess, yeah.

Are you a hoarder?

What? No. I'm storing things

until I can escape.

You want one slice

of bologna or two?

Two. With one cheese in the middle.

- All right, you got it.

- No mayo.

- Butter.

- I knew that.

- Where are you escaping to, Oren?

- I'm moving to Vermont.

More butter, please.

- Would you like to do this yourself?

- Only if you do it wrong.

Daddy and I went to Vermont

last year when I was eight.

We got to fly there.

And he taught me how to fish.

I taught your Dad how to fish.

Place we stayed at had salt shakers

shaped like cows.

That's where I'm going.

He always said he hated it up there.

I think he liked going up

there with me.

Take that box, put it on that box

that's on that box over there.

Good girl.

Don't give the dog human food.

It teaches him how to beg.

- You gave him mayonnaise bread.

- No, I didn't.

I saw you.

You're gonna make someone

a great wife someday.

- I like the sandwich.

- Thank you.

So, what are you doing

with these bugs?

They're caterpillars. Me and Leah

are doing a science project.

Good for you.

- Want to watch some TV?

- Sure.

I don't watch animation, MTV,

Bravo, Oprah...

or sitcoms.

What do you want to watch?

- Can we watch Duck Dynasty?

- What station is it on?

- A&E.

- Sure.

Back so soon...

- Hello.

- What happened? No chemistry, huh?

Right...

How'd it go with you two?

She fell asleep.

You want to come in and watch

the end of Duck Dynasty?

I think I'm going to have to pass,

but you can carry her over

to my place.

My back. I got a bad back.

You know what, can wake her up

or just lift her up.

Forget it, I don't care.

- What's with you?

- What am I doing with my life!

You know,

I'm a wanna-be lounge singer.

- With a shark for an agent.

- No, it's ridiculous. I'm 65, ugh!

I have sold houses, older than you.

And in a lot worse condition.

That makes me feel good.

Yeah.

It was a compliment.

- Where do you want me to put her?

- Just put her over there, thank you.

Do you need... are you all right?

Here, thank you.

I forgot how soundly they sleep.

True. Look at her.

This looks like a Eugene.

And what does a Eugene look like?

Like someone who loved you.

Last time I had sex I tore my ACL.

Is this relevant to anything?

I just thought it was some

information you should have.

Is this by any chance,

some pathetic attempt at flirtation?

Well, when you put it

that way... no.

Good night, Oren.

- Buenos Dias.

- Hello.

His English isn't very good.

This house

is 8.6 million dollars.

- Did you know that?

- It says so on the brochure.

- You read English?

- It was in numbers. But I do read.

Okay, why don't we start

in the living room.

You've got 10 foot ceilings.

Mouldings.

Floors. Plaster mantle.

- What did he say?

- His papa was a plasterer.

Everybody's gotta do something.

- Wait, look.

- The large shell...

- What, you're kidding me.

But that lizard has a...

- Hi.

Can I help you?

These guys they're looking for

an upgrade to a larger home.

Okay.

You know they're caterpillars.

- Yeah, I know. We're just doing a science project.

- Okay.

- Is this your grand daughter?

- Yes.

You know what. I need to go

get something for Paint, all right.

You pick out the terrarium

that you want, okay.

Okay... Okay...

- So, where are you all from?

- Texas.

I have a list of 40 states I try

to avoid. Texas is number seven.

Can I get you anything to drink,

water? Soda? Beer?

Thank you, we have

two other places to look at.

Excuse me. Oren Little.

Speak.

You stay right there,

I'm coming right now.

Well, I wish you the best

of luck on your search and...

Yes, it's a hell

of a lot of lawn to mow.

- So what have you got?

- The family that owned the house is dead.

But, they have a daughter,

she still leaves in the county.

If that's of interest.

- Might be.

- Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to give you the address.

What did you bring me

down here for then?

I'm gonna get a cup of coffee.

- You want anything?

- Really. This is how it works?

Look, either you break

the law or I do.

I'm a detective

and you're desperate.

Who do you think's more likely
