and my dad doesn't care

more than ever.

What'd they think,

the extra bathroom would help?

Maybe a two-car garage.

"You know what, honey?

Infidelity, forget about it.

"Look at the storage space!"

Something like that.

So, what are your issues, Kale?

What makes you think I have issues?

Gee, I don't know.

Look, there he is.

It's another car.

Who said chivalry's dead?

I didn't.

- There's a club girl for you.

- How can you tell?

The bright green bracelet

is from The Place.

The red one is from The Komodo Club,

and yellow is from Razors.

Jesus. You must have a great ID, huh?

I don't need one.

I love her shoes.

You gotta be joking.

Is that what you're looking at? Shoes.

Of course.

He's going in.

He's gonna get her all liquored up.

This feels wrong.

Oh, he's going for it.

Okay.

Here he goes. Here he goes.

Denied.

Look at the look on his face.

A little music to set the mood.

- What do you think they're listening to?

- I don't know.

You know what? I got an idea.

Here, take this.

- No.

- No?

No. Stop, stop.

- No.

- Yeah.

- You're kidding me.

- I think we got a match.

Oh, God.

It does match.

Only in Disturbia.

Where else are you gonna get

this kind of entertainment?

- Thank God you moved here, right?

- Yeah.

Wait a minute.

Wait, did you see that?

Wait, zoom in a little.

Oh, my God.

Did you see that? The price tag.

She won't be returning that dress.

Oh, there you go.

Now you should bust your move.

Who's the redhead?

- She's cute.

- Don't you have something to do?

Don't you have something to do?

- No.

- Your...

Yeah. My dad likes this song,

by the way.

Hi, Mom.

- Here we go.

- No, I'm fine.

I'm at Barnes & Noble.

No, that's okay, I'll walk.

Shift's over. Gotta go.

Walk me?

Sure.

Give this to your mom.

Thank you for an interesting night

and day.

I guess this is as far as you go.

I guess so.

So, same shift tomorrow?

I'll get back to you.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Somebody, anybody.

Somebody, anybody.

Come on, baby.

Hello, boys.

Family fun night.

Okay. I see what's going on.

Oh, Jesus. You guys are screwed now.

"We're just watching cartoons. "

"Oh, okay, sweetie. I understand.

You guys are growing boys. "

Come on, Mom.

Bastards. Wow, they are horny as sh*t.

Help! Help!

Sh*t, come on.

Oh, sh*t.

Okay. Oh, God.

- Ronnie.

- How far did you get?

Ronnie, listen to me. Okay.

Turner just saw me.

- What?

- Yeah.

And the redhead

who was at his house, okay?

- Are you sure?

- He chased her around the house,

and it got dark, he turned the lights out.

I mean, I don't know what I saw. I saw...

Well, what if he killed her? I mean...

Slow down, slow down. Talk to me.

What is happening?

- Just stay on the phone.

- Kale?

Okay, just stay on the phone.

Are you seeing something?

Kale, what is happening?

Talk to me, man.

It's the redhead.

She's leaving the house.

You are seriously losing it,

you know that?

You gotta stop this, all right, Kale?

Kale?

- No!

- No, no, no! Whoa.

Whoa. Just take it easy.

Easy. Slow down.

I'm Robert Turner. I'm your neighbor.

I just live behind you...

Yeah, I know who you are!

What are you doing in my house?

- Well, I...

- Morning, honey!

I think I startled him.

I ran into Robert at the grocery store.

I had a flat tire when I came out.

We tried to change it,

but that adaptor thingamajiggy...

Yeah, my dad put those bolts on.

Well, it did not work.

Instead it stripped it.

- My fault.

- No.

You saved my life.

We had it towed to Frank's.

Oh, yeah?

Thank God you were there, huh?

- To tow it to Frank's.

- Just glad I could help.

Kale, would it kill you

to use a bread knife?

It's a knife. What's the difference?

Well, the difference?

About 60 bucks at Bed Bath.

Hey, you know, those things...

I've always been curious

about those things.

- Do you mind if I just take a look?

- Yeah, I mind.

- So what'd you do?

- How do you like your coffee?

I popped my Spanish teacher.

Shoot, I think I left the milk in the car.

I'll be right back.

So, when you say that you

- popped your teacher...

- Yeah, I punched him in the face.

Listen,

I get it.

I went to school.

There are plenty of teachers

I wanted to just kill.

Kale, would you grab the sugar, please?

Here it is.

Can I pour you some milk?

On the way back here, your mom was

saying how much she likes eating out.

Was she?

I thought maybe we could do dinner

and a movie sometime...

- That's not gonna happen.

- I would like that. It'd be good.

For me. For me it's not gonna happen.

But I'm sure my mother would love

to go, huh, Ma?

- You'd love that.

- Why don't we sit down?

Nice meeting you, Kale.

- He is something.

- Yes, he really is something.

And so is your place.

That's creepy.

I said it, I told you.

The guy's a freak show, right?

Did he genuinely mean

it was nice meeting you,

or was he sending you

some kind of sinister message?

- Are you playing with me?

- A little.

- Did you even notice my hair?

- Yeah, no, it's nice.

It's real nice. Okay, there's the Mustang.

Then there's the longhorn skull

in his garage.

And then there was the club girl.

Who looked freaked out, okay?

She looked freaked out.

She was running around half-naked

in his living room.

Then he challenges me.

He stares at me.

He shows up in my kitchen,

hits on my mother.

- I mean...

- Can you blame him?

Your mom's hot.

My mom's hot. Can you be serious?

Did you consider whatever look

that girl had

might have been something else?

Maybe she likes being

chased around half-naked.

And that's it?

That's what you're leaving me with?

I'm going to a party.

- Whose?

- Mine.

Yours?

You're having a...

I didn't mean to say it like that.

I just didn't know you knew anyone.

I met this girl today, Minnie Tyco.

Minnie... Yes, "Skinny Psycho. "

Yeah, I had Spanish with her.

She's a lot of fun.

I told her my parents were going out

of town, and one thing led to another.

She called somebody,

and then they called somebody,

- and now, everybody's coming.

- Yeah, no, I got it, I got it.

So now you got the whole jock

and bimbo population showing up?

Well, that'll be fun.

So you're really going through with this?

Yes.

All right, well, that'll be fun.

I just didn't think

you would conform so fast but...

Try to keep those

in your drawers tonight, will you?

Wait, what was that?

Oh, you think I'm watching you.

Well, I'm not. I'm not watching.

I'm minding my own business.

Hey, how are you?

All right, that's it. That's it!

Oh, my God.

- You don't like Minnie Riperton?

- Fire!

I hit him, you guys! Go, you guys!

Go, go, go, go!

I got you now, Greenwood!

- Oh, my God! Go!

- You better not be listed!

Big tactical error, my friend. Huge!

What the...

What are you doing here? Huh?

Oh! No! Wait.

What's wrong?

You don't like my music?

- Oh, my God.

- What?

Oh, sh*t. Hold on.

Back off, or I will throw this

where you can't follow.

Okay, just relax, okay?
