Dave.

F***.

No, no.

[Sizzling]

[Radio]

Woah. Cook out gone wrong?

Have you ever had the

chicken parmatorissie?

No.

Oh boy.

Alright, have a seat.

I'm all ears.

So...

Here's what happened.

As far as I can remember,

we were on the deck.

We were playing

with some fireworks.

And uh, I'm gonna go ahead

and admit that we

were drinking some whiskey.

John, we burned the house down.

We burned the whole f***ing

house to the ground.

It's f***ing- nothing's

there anymore.

And it was an accident.

And if there's anyway we can

salvage any kind of value from

the property, I'd like to

have Jim to have it,

if that's possible.

John, do you understand

what I'm saying?

The house is f***ing gone.

There's nothing left.

It's burned to the ground.

We burned the house down.

I know.

What?

I said I know.

You think houses burn

down here all the time?

Ok? Um...

Now what?

Take the checks.

You're on your way.

I'm uh... I'm confused.

You think I didn't take our

insurance policy the minute

you two bozos showed up?

I was gonna demolish

the thing anyway.

Now, you actually got me a

buck with the insurance claim.

John, why did you

have us fix the house?

We almost killed each other,

man. What is wrong with you?

Yeah, well...

I just felt it somethin'

you're dad woulda wanted.

Besides we don't get too much

action around here, so it was

nice to have you about.

You motherf***er!

I'll show you action, John.

I'm cool, I'm cool, I'm cool.

You piece of sh*t.

I grabbed this stuff

when your dad passed.

I was gonna mail it to you

if you hadn't shown up.

Some cards in there.

Boys, do me a favor.

Don't spend it all in one place.

You already have

everything you need.

You just don't know it yet.

[Door slamming]

[Crash]

So, what's your next move, man?

Thinking about opening up my own

dojo. That'd be cool.

Really? Can you do that

as a green belt?

Yeah, a lot of people don't

know this, in judo, green belt's

actually higher than black.

Really? I've never heard that.

Yeah, it's true.

You gonna be ok, Dave?

Me? Yeah, I'm gonna be fine.

You gonna be ok?

Yeah, I think so.

Good.

Oh f***, check this out.

Ah, dude, are you kidding me?

Where'd you find these?

I was gonna chop them

up with an axe but...

I figured I owed you one.

Oh man, that's an extra

ten grand right there.

Yep.

Thanks, Jim.

Awesome.

Man.

How 'bout that watch, huh?

Alright, ok. See you later.

I'm trying to give you a

hug, you f***ing a**hole.

No you're not.

Ow, you're f***ing dead.

Why don't you use your

karate moves, dude?

F*** you.
