Synopsis: Johnathan is a nine-year-old boy who loves sea monsters, and his 300 lb. pet pig, named Wee Wee. Unlike most kids, Johnathan has nystagmus, which makes his eyes "flutter." He also suffers from severe narrow angle glaucoma; an acute condition that if untreated can lead to permanent blindness. JoLynn cares for Johnathan alone while her singer/songwriter husband David travels in search of his big break. To treat Johnathan, she grows hydroponic marijuana to relieve the painful intraocular pressure Glaucoma causes. She cooks the marijuana into brownies and feeds them to him in secret. David's parents, Mark and Linda, live nearby and provide for JoLynn and Johnathan as best they can on a fixed income. Linda is highly critical of JoLynn's ability to raise Johnathan. During her son's absence, Johnathan has become more undisciplined than Linda would like. While Mark tries to keep the peace, he is torn between his wife and their daughter-in-law, who he loves deeply. When JoLynn discovers that Li

a screaming schoolgirl?

Aaah!

Now hop on.

How long has it been since

you've been on one of these?

Been awhile.

I hate these damn things.

I'm sorry, Lonny. I can't stay

and play in the park all day.

Seriously, I...

Seriously,

I think I'm gonna vomit.

Can we just...

Can we just do this?

It's all there.

There's a point in a man's life

when he yearns to enjoy

a place like this.

Is everything all right?

See you around.

Sorry, Curtis.

Sometimes you gotta

throw a dog a bone

or else he'll come after yours.

Oh, my God.

Hey!

Hey!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Johnathan!

Johnathan!

Can you hear me?

Go to the window!

Open the window.

Come on, get your stuff.

We gotta go..

- Why?

- Do it, please.

Where's Curtis?

He had to go help some people.

- What are you looking for?

- It don't matter.

Hot dogs!

Grab your hot dogs!

Get your mustard and relish.

Get your fixings here.

Sorry, Curtis.

Come on, let's go.

- Are you gonna answer it, Mama?

- No, just pedal faster.

- Go get your clothes, okay?

- Why?

Just do it!

Is that you?

Yeah, it's me.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

- I'm... I'm real...

- No.

Listen, I'm sorry.

This is all my fault.

Don't say anything.

I don't know

if they're listening.

But if you bastards are,

I want you to know

what you don't find

was never there.

I got to go now.

I don't know if they

can trace this, but...

don't worry about me.

They don't know who you are.

I just...

I just called to say

that you and...

and your special someone

are safe.

I would never do anything

to hurt you.

Thank you so much, Curtis.

I can never repay you.

Thank you.

No.

I got to go.

Bye, girl.

Bye.

- Let's make some noise.

- How?

A lot of noise.

Let's put on a concert.

- Like Dad?

- No. We'll wear makeup.

Eww. Makeup?

Yeah. Boys wear makeup too.

On stage.

- Why?

- So girls can see 'em.

But I don't want girls

to see me.

So their mamas can see them.

Close your eyes.

Shake your head and go crazy!

Yeah!

Hey, I gotta go check

on the generator!

- Okay!

- Keep the concert going!

Okay!

Go crazy! Whoo!

Come on.

Good girl.

Yeah, come on.

Come on. I know.

I know, honey. I know.

Mark, you can't do this.

Will you put that away?

Get on in there.

That a girl, that a girl.

I'm sorry, girl.

I'm sorry.

Do it, JoLynn.

- Johnathan!

- Grandpa!

- Johnathan!

- What?

Get your ass back up here!

Come on! Stay away from

the generator. It's dangerous.

Was that Grandpa?

No. It's none of your business.

Come on.

Don't do that to my arm.

It hurts.

I'm sorry.

Grandpa had to take Wee Wee,

so let's go inside.

- Can you feel that?

- Mm-hmm.

Does it feel good?

You gotta push harder.

That's just like I do.

Oh, yeah, that feels good.

Oh, yeah, that's the stuff.

- You got cute little feet.

- Thank you.

They're stinky,

but they're cute.

They're coming to get you.

Yeah, monsters.

Raah!

This little piggy monster

went to the stinky fish market.

This little piggy monster

said no.

This little piggy had some ham.

This little piggy had none.

Aww!

This little piggy went,

"Wee wee wee wee wee wee wee!"

all the way home.

What'd I say, Mama?

What's wrong?

Mama, what's wrong?

Everything's gonna be okay.

Everything's

gonna be okay, Mama.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Promise.

- You promise?

- I promise.

You okay?

Yeah.

Come here, baby.

Come lie down with Mama.

Come on.

Johnathan!

- Morning, Captain.

- Morning.

- You hungry?

- Mm-hmm.

Shall we say a prayer?

God is great, God is good.

Thanks for the food, Jesus.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Eat all your medicine.

- Is it good?

- Mm-hmm.

- You ready?

- Ready.

- Can I ask you a question?

- Mm-hmm.

Why don't we just

let the parakeets go?

They'll die if we do that.

It's better this way.

Wait, hold up.

"Jo...

I found the bottom.

And it's in the same place

it's always been.

I'm sorry

I put you through this.

I thought this was

what I wanted.

But I want my family.

I need my family.

I'm coming home.

And if you let me, I'll make

this up to you and Johnathan.

I promise.

If you get this before I do,

I should be

just around the corner.

So we'll see

who gets there faster,

me or my words.

I love you. David."

Hey, if I give you a dollar,

would you put a stamp

and throw that

in the mail for me?

I got it.

- Thanks.

- Thank you.

- Johnathan, are you ready?

- Mm-hmm.

What tickets

do you have available

that will get us to the beach?

- One way or round trip?

- One way, please.

Okay.

Well, Miami...

for an adult and a child

would be $367.50,

and for San Diego,

it would be $409.50.

Okay. You got

anything cheaper?

Well, there's always Galveston.

How much?

Galveston would be $90.25.

Perfect.

You know, I'm gonna help you.

I got the quarter.

Once there was a little boy,

and he got a little piglet once

he was only five years old.

One, two, three.

Once he was nine or so,

him and his mom and his pig

went out to the ocean

'cause he loves the sea.

And him and Sharky Piggy

went to go find

the little boy's dad.

He was lost in the ocean.

But instead they ran into

the mama leviathan.

In anger, the leviathan

tried to kill us,

and he had to fight

to the death.

And I kept on stabbing it

and stabbing it and stabbing it.

Stupid octopus.

They lived happily ever after

with eating octopus every day.
