You never come over

unless you want something.

Maybe I just don't want

to see you end up like Mom.

You really think I'm gonna

drink myself to death

- because a man left me?

- I don't know what you'd do.

You've always been

the depressed, serious type.

Maybe if you relaxed for once,

you could find someone better.

- More coffee?

- Yeah, fill 'er up.

She likes it black.

Get a new wig, b*tch.

Kiss my ass!

Ow. Stupid thing.

Come on!

Hey!

Go, Wee Wee!

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

Woo-hoo!

I'm so sorry.

I will talk to Johnathan

in the morning.

No. No.

No, this time you're

gonna do something.

What do you want me to do?

You let her run all over you,

and now her boy too.

Why don't you do something?

They're your family too.

All right, I will.

- Good.

- I will take care of this.

What the hell?

Johnathan!

Wee Wee, what are you

doing in here?

Oh, my God.

Johnathan!

Johnathan!

What the hell, Johnathan?

What did you do to my plants?

I wanted to make brownies.

Are you an idiot?

Why would you do that?

- That's your medicine!

- I don't know.

It's a gonna take me months

to grow 'em back!

F***!

Can I come in?

I'm sorry I yelled at you.

I'm sorry, Mama.

I don't know why I did it.

You did it 'cause you're a kid.

I keep asking you to be

a man for me, but...

you just need to be a kid.

I miss Dad.

Me too.

You'll never leave me, will you?

I will never leave you.

I love you.

I will always, always love you.

No matter what.

No matter what you become and...

no matter if you grow up

and do bad things.

I will love you

more than God does.

- Sheriff Cole, you're back.

- I'm sorry, JoLynn.

How come with all

the deputies you got,

you come see me personally?

Could you step outside, please?

I'm fine right here, thank you.

Well, I need to know

where your pig is.

How come you asking?

Well, your neighbor

down the hill here,

they pressed charges

this morning.

My neighbor?

That's my husband's parents.

I understand that, JoLynn, but

I have to issue you a citation

for trespassing and vandalism

perpetrated by your pet pig.

I know.

Come on.

I'm also gonna need to know

the whereabouts of your pig,

currently.

Well, you're looking at her.

Where... God dang!

That's not funny, JoLynn!

I'm gonna tell you something

right now, and I mean it too.

You contain your pig, all right?

If I catch him off the premises

one more time,

I'm gonna confiscate and

the euthanize the damn thing.

That's bullshit!

Ham and egg bastard.

Pig sh*t everywhere.

Get away from me!

Ham hock-lookin'

son of a b*tch.

Yah!

Hey.

Well, Linda, they gave me

a $250 ticket. You happy?

I didn't want for you

to get a ticket.

Well, then why did you

call the cops on me?

I wanted to make a statement.

Well, I'm here now.

Make your damn statement.

Say what you want to say to me.

- Okay.

- Say it!

You need to get your kid

under control.

And maybe you should

teach him not to steal,

while you're homeschooling him

sub-kindergarten skills.

Kind of like you did your son?

The one that walked out

on his family?

At least I teach my son

to be a human f***ing being!

That's enough. Outside.

You gonna run me out

like a little dog now?

Get outside. Now.

Come on.

- Damn it!

- Will you please calm down?

She doesn't like the fact

that I'm a high school dropout,

and I'm homeschooling my son,

but yet he can't see

the damn chalkboard.

I need to tell you something.

No! You know, she's refusing to

accept that he's going blind,

even though she's

constantly complaining

that he's breaking

her little sh*t.

Shush! Let me talk, okay?

Wee Wee just didn't get into

her garden last night.

Johnathan led her there.

Tore the whole thing to pieces.

- You saw him?

- Yeah.

I fired a shot up into the air

to run him off.

You have got to get this

situation under control, okay?

If you can't afford

to pay rent or utilities,

you damn sure can't afford

to feed a 300-pound nuisance.

David gave him that pig.

He loves her.

A full-grown pig

is not a pet.

You wanna tell

your grandson that?

No. I'm not trying

to tell you what to do.

I'm just saying that

with your circumstance,

you have got to explore

some options.

Come here.

I gotta go. I'm sorry.

- Who's there?

- Uh, it's JoLynn.

- Hey, buddy. Hi.

- Hey, Curtis.

I was just, uh,

I was just riffing.

I got cooler songs.

I was just riffing around.

- Do you mind if we come in?

- Please, please, come on in.

- Come on in.

- You got a fish tank?

Yeah, yeah, saltwater.

Where's all the fish?

There's just one.

I used to call him Neptune.

- Now I call him Inept-tune.

- What kind of fish is he?

He's an octo-wuss. Might as well

be a chocolate starfish.

He's a sh*t fish.

You never see him.

He just hides all day.

But that is Plisskin.

He's a total bad ass,

always trying to escape

and sh*t.

But breaking out is impossible.

Breaking in is insane.

That is Peter North Parker,

you know, 'cause he's a spider,

man, he's just so big and all.

And this is Claws Meine.

Let me show you something.

Check this out.

That is love at first sting,

right there.

Yoohoo! Johnathan!

He is obsessed with the ocean.

If you had a shark in there,

he would never leave.

- Johnathan, you like music?

- Hmm?

- You like music?

- Mm-hmm.

Check this out.

Some dude in Austin gave this

to me for a bag of weed...

Uh, weed killer.

Said it was an import.

You like this?

I don't like it.

I love it!

Well, it's yours.

Take it.

- Can I listen to it first?

- Of course! All you want.

You wanna go outside for a sec?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Okay. Hey, Johnathan,

make yourself at home.

All of it?

All of it.

Sh*t. I only have

a week's worth left.

All I got's

a couple days' worth.

What about his regular meds?

I told you about

the complications he has.

He just responds better

to the hydro

than he does with

the pharmaceutical crap.

The only guy I know is Lonny.

He only sells a quarter pound.

I can't afford that much.

We can go in half.

I can't afford that either.

Maybe I could sell some sh*t.

Ratshot owes me some.

Oh, it's too bad

we live in Texas.

If we were on the coast,

hydro would be doctor's orders.

Yeah.

Man, you ever think about

leaving Texas?

I don't know, man.

I like it here.

In Texas, you may have sh*t,

but you'll always have

your dignity.

Here, you can throw your head in

a toilet bowl, lick it clean,

that'll at least make you

the baddest son of a b*tch

in the room.

How do you figure that?

The Alamo.

Which reminds me, you wanna see

my dad's most prized possession?

I don't know.

What is it?

I'll be right back.

My old man never let me

listen to Ozzy Osbourne

because he pissed on the Alamo.

You'd think Ozzy pissed

on his mother's grave,

he's so serious about it.

Check this out.

What is it?

That is an actual musket ball

from the Alamo.

Seriously?

Hell no!

It's an old fishing weight

I hammered down.

I told him it was pried

from Colonel Travis's bedroom.
