"Freon used as a refrigerant

is a hazardous material

"and there is special handling

involved in its disposal.

"The county has assessed

a $100 fee

"to account for

this special handling."

Now, I don't have a $100 on me.

You want to give me

your fridge or not?

I got the money,

you got to pay me back, though.

Yeah? No problem.

We'll get my mom

to pay you back.

We got your money.

All right.

You're good

to drop off the fridge.

You know, let me know

when you get tired of Linda.

I'll take over.

Ashley's back, baby.

Man, how can she be

in love with that dude?

Who would you rather have,

me or that dude with the papers?

I'm not getting into that.

Where do you get

your money from?

Work.

- You don't work.

- I work.

I do work for a medical

science company.

Like what?

Test tube babies?

No, really. I mean,

I don't know.

Just test out new products.

What kind of products?

It varies. Everything from...

Putting a tampon on my back,

or try some new toilet paper.

One time, they cut off

my pinky toe,

and reattached it with a laser.

Are you serious?

Right now, I'm testing out

these new patches.

I would never do this.

Be some sort of lab rat.

It helps them make medicine.

How do you make your money?

Rusty old ladders?

You're not a very good swimmer,

are you?

Not right now,

but I'll get there.

You can hold your breath

for a long time?

Not really.

Got this weird disease

where my lungs won't take

the oxygen I breath.

Runs in the family,

my granddad got it, too.

He's an inventor.

People think he crazy,

but he's the smartest man

in the world.

I know this guy who could

hold his breath for forever.

He can control his heart rate,

body temperature,

he can control everything.

- Yeah right.

- Yeah, he showed me.

Had me grab his hands

and he held his breath.

And I could feel his hands

getting colder, like ice cold.

I've been working on it myself.

I could hold my breath

longer than you.

I believe that.

On a count of three.

- One, two, three...

- Let me stop chewing.

Hold it, there goes my aunt.

Yeah, who's that?

I see her butt from here.

How you gonna talk

about my aunt like that?

- She got a man?

- No...

She used to have this

cold cut take care of her.

Does she work at a donut?

For the time being.

She wanna be

a stay-at-home mom.

What happened to her man?

Got into a bad car accident.

He got paralyzed

from the waist up.

You can't paralyze

from the waist up.

I'm telling you he was!

How, how are you

going to be like that?

Look.

See, his legs still work.

But he was bent over like this.

Wait, wait...

You think she would get me

if I walked around like that?

Hey, honey, let me take you out.

I don't think about that, man.

That's my aunt.

Now, you know what I mean?

She looking for a man?

Why don't you

take your shirt off?

Mmm.

No, I'm good.

I wanna look at you.

- No. No!

- I wanna look at you.

No!

- I wanna look at you.

- Oh...

They look weird

when I'm laying down.

They're looking good to me.

Stop!

Get, get from under there!

I got something

I got to tell you about.

Okay...

What?

I'm in love with somebody else.

I've been in love with this girl

since the first day I saw her.

Is that all right with you?

She your girlfriend

or something?

Mmm...

So right now, she's got

a different situation.

So why are you

telling me about her?

I don't know, I like you.

You're looking good,

you got a fine butt.

But I'm always gonna

love me some Linda.

She got a hold on me.

But she just won't

love me anymore.

So you wanna be my girl?

Hey! How are you doin',

Ms. Douglas?

Hi.

All right.

Is Ashley home?

Him and that woman back there

bumping for an hour.

He thinks I can't hear them.

Can you tell him I'm here?

Ashley, your little

buddy's here.

With some kind

of vacuum cleaner or something.

Thanks.

Ms. Douglas, do you have the $100

from the fridge we got rid of?

Why they are charge you

to throw things away

makes no sense to me.

Jeremy!

What is this contraption?

This is my granddad's metal

detector I was telling you about.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, this is...

This is light.

- Not even heavy at all.

- No, it's not.

How does it work?

If you twist this down to

whatever you're trying to find.

Gold, silver, copper, aluminum,

depending on what

you are trying to find.

Where do you plug it in?

I don't plug it in,

I got a little battery pack

on the side with some magnets,

on this little belt,

to put around the waist.

And it'll work over

any like, terrain...

- Grass...

- Yeah, yeah.

Mom, what are you doing?

We're having a conversation.

What are you giving the money

to Jeremy for?

That's between Jeremy and me.

I'm not getting nothing.

You're going over

the places I dug.

Let me try it.

- Can I try?

- Sure.

- Hold it there.

- Uh-huh.

Take this.

Put this over your neck.

Okay, take the earphones.

Okay.

Take this.

- Put this on your arm.

- How do I know it's working?

It beeps whenever

there is metal.

- It beeps?

- Yeah.

Wait a minute.

There you go.

You know what?

Let's just see

if this thing even works.

Yeah.

Yeah, it works.

What was that?

Let's just say some people think

it's cool to kick somebody

when they're down.

Hey, I hear something, man.

Yo, I hear something,

I hear it, man!

- Is it like a beep, beep...

- Listen, listen, listen.

- It's a beep.

- Listen, man, it's a beep.

I got it.

That's the beep right here.

Don't lose that spot

right there.

Keep your eye on that spot.

Now, back up, back up,

back up, all right?

Look.

I just want to say this upfront,

if the box is here,

this box is for my eyes only.

- You can't see my emergency objects.

- Okay.

- Promise?

- Promise.

Yeah!

Ah, ha-ha!

Ha-ha!

What d'you got?

Are those some panties?

No, no, don't look at those.

Give them back, give them back!

- Yeah... -I told you

not to look at those.

- They are some panties.

- Come on!

What are you all doing?

Ashely buried some panties

in the yard.

You all acting like a bunch of kids who

ain't never seen no panties before.

I seen you pan...

I seen your panties

Look, I know you in there.

I saw the garbage man

and I know I'm better than him.

I'm gonna remind you

of what you feel for me.

Man, shut up!

life without you,

She's not home!

Well, you just tell her

She said, "forever."
