Flying Monkeys

---

Man, I'm depressed.

What are you depressed about?

We smuggle exotic animal

halfway across the world,

and then my privilege

to clean up their crap!

What'd you just say?

Man, whatever.

You should be happy you have

a job during this recession.

It sound like one got loose.

You probably forgot to secure

one of the cages, you idiot.

Get back there.

What you looking at me for?

Lee?

What the hell is

going on back here?

I swear to God,

if you jump out at me,

I'm gonna feed you

to that tiger.

Lee!

Well, I

haven't seen you in quite awhile.

How you been?

Hi.

I thought you might've

kicked the bucket.

Nah, No such luck.

Fill her up?

At your prices?

I don't think so.

Oh.

How about $20 worth?

You gotta love

high-school girls.

We keep getting older,

and they stay the same age.

And as we go out

into the world,

let us commemorate this day as the

day we began our lives in earnest.

And as we

venture out on our own,

let none of us forget

where we grew up.

She is so hot.

Mmm, smokin'.

Where we spent our youth,

working together in unison

for one exceptional goal.

Getting into your pants.

Graduation.

Our friendships, the trust will

be the strength of our future.

Our class may not be large,

but we are a mighty team.

He's still not here,

is he?

Okay.

Come on, come on, come on.

I can do this. Gonna make it.

I'm gonna make it.

I know he's coming.

Smile.

Our town may not be big and modern,

but it is a special place.

Just grab her on her ass,

and make a hookup for tonight.

Yeah, but I think you're

forgetting one minor detail.

Her dad's packing heat, man.

He'd shoot me on sight.

No risk, no reward.

Shh.

What?

I thought you didn't give a damn

what super b*tch had to say.

I don't.

But we only graduate once.

Oh.

Oh, my God.

Come on!

Not a problem.

I'll get there.

It's just my

daughter's graduation.

Come on!

May this town be a

special meeting place for us all.

Thank you for

the best times ever.

Okay. Okay.

Oh, boy. Hello.

Keep up the great

work, my star athlete.

Where would we be without you?

All right.

Terrific.

Everybody's so proud of you.

That was a really

great speech, Chasity.

Thanks.

Hey, boo.

Oh, hey, Daddy.

You know I love you.

Love you, too.

Hey, Sheriff Flemings.

Little something-something.

Don't buy any beer with that.

Better late than never.

Typical.

Come on. You knew he probably

wouldn't make it on time.

Yeah, and I won

a scholarship to Harvard.

Are you gonna be

at the party later?

Maybe.

Uh...

Just call me.

I'll pick you up, okay?

You better be.

You better be.

I'm gonna test you.

Joan...

I didn't make it, did I?

Dad, the ceremony

started at 1:
00.

Ah, God. I'm so sorry, Joan.

If I had a dollar for

every time you said that...

You'd be rich. I know.

More like retired.

Yeah.

The blueprints for the downtown

lawsuit were due today.

On the way here, there was

a huge tractor, and...

No, it's fine. I understand.

Priorities.

Don't worry about it.

Oh, my God, Rudy. You're

never gonna believe this.

Just this crazy

happened last night.

I mean just craziness.

I wouldn't go in there with...

Hey, don't go in there.

I'm warning you.

Touch me again, I'm gonna

put you in the ground.

Who packed the shipment?

He did.

Well, he must be one

stupid son of a b*tch, huh?

Rudy, listen.

You don't understand.

Shut up!

One little monkey.

That's all I got.

Come here, little buddy.

Come here, baby. Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

Where are the other animals?

That's what I've been

trying to tell you.

That thing I saw last night

must've ate them.

Take this.

Uh-uh.

I thought I told you

to shut up. Now take this.

It's just a little monkey.

Who do you think

you're fooling?

You think that I care

that you killed your partner?

Now I don't have to pay him.

I didn't kill him!

Look, I paid you for

a plane full of animals.

Now they all

showed up in pieces.

It's not gonna fly, Wang.

Lee's dead.

The animal's dead.

Things are a lot more

screwed up than you think.

Look, you're gonna

take it back to China.

Or else I'm gonna come over

to that garbage heap in Hong

Kong that you call an apartment,

and I'm gonna take you out!

Do you understand me?

Got it.

You've got one week, Wang.

One week.

Hey, little guy.

Did you run away from home?

Bet someone's looking for you.

Hey, there.

Isn't that so cute?

I know.

You have to come to the party.

I don't think I'm gonna go.

You'd rather stay here

and play with your animals?

If it's that or watch the football

team play beer pong, then yes.

Whatever.

I'll tell you what, though.

I think Jason

needs some attention.

Just not that into it.

You would seriously rather

stay here and smell cat feces

than lounge poolside,

sipping on margaritas?

Um, yes. Precisely.

Just checking.

I'm out.

Okay. See you later.

You suck.

Hey, bro.

Hi.

You gonna bite me?

I'm gonna kill you!

Damn dirty monkey!

Bite me again.

Hey. Big party tonight.

What's there to celebrate?

Joan, come on. I said I was sorry.

What else can I do?

Nothing.

Mom wouldn't have missed it.

You know, when she died,

I didn't think I was

gonna lose both of you.

Did you do this?

Can I help you?

Oh, hey.

Uh, how you doing?

Not bad. How about yourself?

Uh, I'm good.

Good.

Can I help you find

anything in particular?

Got some interesting animals

other stores don't.

Yeah. Actually, I'm looking for

something special for my daughter.

Um, seems like you have

a lot of birds. It's...

Is it mostly birds here?

How old is she?

She's 18.

Almost.

Actually, shejust, uh,

graduated from high school.

Starts college in the fall.

She wants to be a vet. So...

I think today may

be your lucky day.

Ah.

Wait right there.

Oh, well...

It'd be the first one

in awhile.

Oh.

You're home early.

Look, um...

I've apologized about a

million times at this point.

So, I'm not gonna do that.

I know that this

doesn't fix everything.

What is it?

Joan...

The whole idea of

wrapping a present

is that the person actually has to

open it themselves to find out.

You can't buy me off, Dad.

Look, I just wanted to

get you something special.

It's a monkey.

It's a monkey. I know.

You went out and

bought me a monkey.

I bought you a monkey.

What, you don't like it?

I mean, it's not that.

But it's an exotic animal.

I mean, it's not

easy to take care of.

I know. I know.

And I thought of that,

but I thought, uh,

you know,

if a future veterinarian

can't take care of

a little monkey,

who can, right?

Hey, little guy.

Oh, don't be scared.

It's okay.

Um, look.

I know that it's not

cool how many hours

I've been hanging out

at the office.

But sometimes you just

kind of wanna throw yourself

into something else, you know?

Wasn't just a soccer game

or a dance recital.

This was my

high school graduation.

It was so important to me.

Look, it was important.

And I blew it.

It's okay.

Well, shall we take him out?
