You don't like oatmeal, do you?
No.
I heard that you have a pet pig.
Yeah, Wee Wee.
And I heard that Wee Wee
sleeps in your bedroom.
Sometimes, but Mama
don't like her in the house.
She doesn't? Hmm.
Well, can I see your bedroom?
Okay.
Who the hell are you?
I'm Gale with Social Services.
Step away from her, Johnathan.
I'd advise you
to put down the gun, ma'am.
What are you doing in my house?
I'm just doing my job.
Now, there's no reason
to be upset.
Do you have a warrant?
No, not yet.
Then get the hell
out of my house!
I'd advise that you comply
with our investigation.
Well, I'd advise you to
stay the hell off my property.
Okay, but if you
don't cooperate,
I come back with a court order
Let's talk about this.
You stay the hell away
from my son.
I don't want you to ever talk
to that woman again. Ever.
Since the little
boy's dad was away,
the mama leviathan
sent sea monsters
to attack his home.
The crab monster came first.
And then came the big fat one
with a thousand eyes.
No matter how many sea monsters
the mama leviathan would bring,
he will always protect
his mother.
- Yes?
- I'm looking for Mark.
He's out back working.
Hey, stranger.
Hi.
Something wrong?
Why'd you call CPS on me?
What are you talking about?
I'd expect that from her,
but not from you.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, we had a fight about it.
Yeah, well,
they came to the house.
Well, I'm sorry, JoLynn.
This is not my doing.
This is her thing.
I happen to think
you're a pretty good mother.
She's just trying to do
what she thinks is right.
Now, I'm in no position
to judge anybody,
but the way you and David live,
that is not the way
we raised him.
Let me show you something.
Can you see those medals
right there?
Now, those are my most cherished
personal possessions,
and here they sit
in this dirty garage
because they don't go well
with her knickknacks.
Sometimes in life you got
to choose your battles.
Now, her little ceramic trinkets
may mean more to her
than those do,
but those do not mean
more to me than she does.
I'm sorry. That's...
That's the most pathetic thing
I've ever heard.
Come on.
Don't make fun of me.
No, I mean she's luckier
than hell to have you.
Yeah, she is.
Hey, uh...
do you ever think
Now, why would you ask me that?
I mean, do you feel like you
love her 'cause she's the one?
Or did you decide long before
she threw you out in the shed?
Frankly I don't see what the
hell difference it makes anyway
'cause it's not like
I'm going anywhere.
Sweetie, sometimes in life
you get to choose your family
and sometimes you don't.
But that doesn't make them
any less family.
I mean, like you.
To me, you are my daughter.
You always have been,
and you always will be.
And that's
just the way that is...
'cause I love you.
No matter what you
may decide to do.
I owe you more
than I could ever repay.
No, you don't owe me anything.
For once,
I'm offering you something.
I'm listening.
A freezer full of meat.
Will you, uh...
Will you meet me back
at the generator at 9:00?
And don't tell Johnathan.
I'll be there.
The only true weapon
for a sea warrior is a trident!
- Hey.
- Like Poseidon.
What?
Come sit down with me.
Come here.
- You having fun?
- Yeah.
Good.
Hey, you wanna go
on a trip with me?
Where will we go?
Wherever we want.
Can we go to the ocean?
Yeah, we can try.
When will we go?
Tomorrow.
But you gotta
promise me something.
What?
You can't tell anybody.
- Okay?
- Okay.
- Promise?
- I promise.
Okay.
It's just gonna be me and you.
What about Wee Wee?
We'll have to ask Grandpa
to take care of her.
Okay.
Okay, go on.
and him and his mom and his pig
went out to the ocean,
and he's trying to protect
his mom from the leviathan
'cause he killed
her little baby,
the leviathan's baby.
Sharky piggy, piggy,
piggy, piggy!
Come on.
And the leviathan
is a giant old octopus
Real sea monster.
So the little boy
and Wee Wee the Shark Piggy
went to go fight this leviathan.
Wee Wee, no!
After 5 miles of swimming,
digestive systems growling
for hunger and food,
this long arm came up
and scooped up Wee Wee.
Luckily it didn't eat her
before I could save her.
He said it was worth it
for saving his mom and his pig.
- Johnathan!
- What happened?
Why did you jump
out of the boat?
I don't know.
My eyes hurt.
Oh, God, not now.
Okay.
Curtis!
Hey, what's up?
You okay?
Look. Can we come in?
We need your help.
Oh, sh*t. Yeah, yeah.
You sure you want to make
a nine-year-old take vapors?
I have to.
If we don't relieve
the pressure,
the damage is permanent, so...
I'm not gonna let him go blind.
All right, listen,
I want you to open your mouth,
and I'm gonna blow air
into your mouth, okay?
Okay.
It might make you cough
a little bit,
but I want you to hold it in
as long as you can.
Can you do that for me?
Hold it.
Hold it.
- It tickles.
- I know it tastes funny,
but that's 'cause
it's medicine, okay?
You did a good job.
Now we're gonna do it
one more time for me, okay?
So that phone's gotta be worth
at least a couple hundred bucks.
And then the scratch-off
is as good as cash.
Where'd you get this phone at?
Don't matter.
Look, I need this for him.
Okay. I'll do it...
for you.
For Johnathan.
For Johnathan.
It's a nice phone.
Yeah.
Hey, Lonny! Hey, man.
Hey, it's Curtis, yeah.
Yeah, hey, could you maybe
come by my place
and bring that real cute
kewpie doll that I like so much?
No, the Q.P. doll.
The real nice one.
Buddy, I need
The best you got.
All right, all right.
All right, thanks.
Bye, buddy.
He's gonna call back in 10.
If we gotta go somewhere,
you're driving.
I can't, Curtis.
Johnathan's inside.
- I'm not leaving him.
- He's passed out cold.
If he wakes up,
he'll be fine by himself.
No, man, if something happens,
I'll lose him.
If something happens,
I got two DWIs already.
If I get caught driving again,
hmm, uh-uh, no way.
No way. I am way too pretty
for prison.
No, I'm not driving, Curtis.
I can't.
At least you get to drive
a balls-to-the-wall classic.
This is a 300 effin' Z, baby.
170 horsepower,
rear wheel drive, V6.
Man, this car costs $30,000
when it was brand-new.
Yeah, in like 1982.
Hey, 1986, man.
Yeah, well, what's it worth now?
Who cares?
It's got T-tops.
Man, they don't even
make those anymore..
And that rear window
is louvered.
- That is some posh sh*t.
- Mm-hmm.
That's like having
French blinds on your car.
Mm-hmm.
There he is.
I'll be right back.
How you doing, Lonny?
Sh*t, man, I've had better days.
Hey, man, push me
on this thing, will you?
- What?
- Yeah!
I used to love this thing
when I was a kid. Push me.
Okay.
Hey, not so fast.
Hey, do I look like
