Kelly & Cal Page #2
but her son needs
a new f***ing ramp.
Yeah, whatever.
She was probably secretly
pleased when it happened.
It gave her something to do.
F***ing clip my wings
just a little bit.
My father, on the other hand,
completely convinced
that I'm not gonna be
in this chair long enough
to warrant getting a new ramp.
He's all bedazzled by these
new advances
in stem cell research,
you know...
theoretical advances, mind you.
"You'll be vertical in no time,
buddy."
Vertical.
F***ing jock.
Sh*t.
My bad.
- It's not you.
He does this all the time.
It's like he hates me.
- What's his name?
- Jackson.
- Jackson?
- Can I call him Jack?
- Yeah, sure.
- You ever try swaddling?
- What?
- Swaddling.
May I?
- Okay.
- Hand him to me.
- Hold his head.
- Try to take this blanket off
here.
You don't want him to get
too hot.
Hello, Jack.
There we go.
Look at that, buddy.
Hey, Jack, that's my quiet
- I used to work
at this halfway house
for recovering meth addicts.
There was a lot of unwed mothers
there and just...
it was terrible.
- Really?
- No, I have a baby cousin
I take care of sometimes.
Mostly I just do it
to mess with my dad's head.
He gets so excited.
He's like, "Good job, son."
You know that's the first thing
he asked the doctor
when I got injured was,
can I still get laid?
Of course, he asked
in more respectable terms,
like can I still have babies?
Now, that is what most people
want to know,
except usually, you know,
they're too scared to ask
unless they're drunk.
It's pretty amazing
what they can do these days
for these guys that are,
like, hardcore crips...
you know, those guys
that can't move, like,
zip, zilch, nothing, right?
- How do they...
- They have this, like,
anal vibrator thing,
and they just stick it
up the guy's ass
poor f***er until he orgasms,
then clean up the baby batter,
use it for in vitro.
Boom, he's off and running.
So I guess never stop believing.
- That's great.
That... that's...
- Yeah.
- That they can do that.
- Fortunately, for some of us,
we don't need that much help.
And the answer's yes,
if the lady's on top.
But also my tongue still works.
- Okay, I'm gonna go.
Um, it was nice talking to you.
Thanks for sharing your place.
Um...
- Hey, if you ever need
a swaddling,
come on back.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
I know. I know. I know.
- What are you doing?
- I'm just trying to...
I don't know.
- Here, here.
Just let me have him.
You all right?
Ooh, man, buddy.
What's up?
I suck.
I suck at this.
- Jack, my main man,
you made it back.
So where did you get drums?
- Dear old Dad.
You know, I was bummed out
about the guitar,
so he went
on a bit of a shopping spree.
You got problems,
It's a very sophisticated
emotional technique, you know?
- And what happened
to the guitar?
- The guitar, it's nothing.
I mean, it's my hands.
Don't look so f***ing sad.
I can still do plenty of things,
providing it doesn't require
any fine motor skills.
Sh*t, even a one-armed dude
could be a drummer, right?
- Yeah.
So where's this guitar?
Wow.
- You like?
- Sweet.
It's been a while.
I-I would have to cut my nails.
- Jack, listen to your mom.
She's f***ing rocking it.
- He likes you.
- Yeah, well, that's 'cause
I talk to him,
you know, like a real person,
man to man.
Isn't that right, Mr. Jack?
- It's that simple?
- It really... yeah, I mean,
it's pretty amazing
what a straightforward
conversation
between equals
can accomplish, you know?
- Where'd you learn to play?
- I was in a band.
- Wait, wait, wait.
You were in a band.
- Yes.
Why do you look so surprised?
I wasn't always
a suburban housewife.
I was young and wild once.
- Well, let me guess.
You were in, like, a mid-'90s
kind of riot grrrl band
type thing?
- What? What do you know
about riot grrrls?
It was kind of like
Sleater-Kinney, in a way.
So you were, like, a guitarist?
- I played bass,
and I wrote all the lyrics.
- Sleater-Kinney didn't have
a bassist.
- You are very smart.
No, they didn't.
We aspired to be
like Sleater-Kinney.
- So what was your band's name?
- We were called Wet Nap.
Wet Nap?
kind of gritty and dirty,
and we liked the fact
that it had the word "wet"
in it, you know.
- So like Wet-Nap,
like the thing you...
like, after you eat ribs,
you get a moist towelette
and you wipe your ribs grease?
- Yeah, actually...
That was actually
one of our biggest songs.
I'm not kidding.
- What?
No way.
- It was called Moist Towelette,
and we would play it
in the middle of the show,
and that's when everybody
would lose their sh*t.
- You are jerking my chain
right now.
- Well, I'd like to hear that
sometime.
- Maybe you will.
- What is that?
Are you gonna start
break-dancing for me?
You gonna break-dance?
- This, my little millennial
smart-ass,
is a device used for playing
an obsolete form
of musical technology
called the cassette tape.
- Okay.
- And in the olden days before
MP3s and all that garbage,
we used this as the homemade
recording device of choice.
- Moist Towelette.
- I don't know.
Is it?
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Are you ready?
- Yeah, yeah.
- My God!
- All right.
Dude!
- Dude, that is
so f***ing excellent.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
How...
I was... um, I can't talk.
I guess we were all right.
and the interwebs
and you couldn't touch and feel
everything,
we primitives liked
to share our information
and spread the fire
through little things
called zines.
- Zines.
That's really cool.
That art, it's...
Yeah, you know, I used to be,
like, really good at that too.
Like,
I had scholarships lined up
and everything for art.
- I want to see that sometime.
- Yeah, well, I burned them all.
- Okay, well,
do you recognize anybody?
- That's you.
My God,
that's you on the left.
- Yep.
We were loud and proud.
- Hey, they're here.
- Okay, I'll be right down!
- I'm gonna go
start up the grill!
- You do that, honey.
- Thanks, Dad.
Here you go.
- Think fast.
And in case you're
wondering, I like mine toasted.
Sh*t, I almost forgot.
- You know what?
I think
something's wrong with her.
No, really.
Are you guys okay?
- F*** off, Julie.
- You f*** off.
- Kiddies.
- Such language.
- Come on, guys.
- Deviled eggs.
- Do you even like deviled eggs?
- His family can just be
so annoying and 1950s.
I felt like taking it
to the next level...
you know, whipping up
some deviled eggs.
- Clearly, yeah, deviled eggs.
- Did they eat them, at least?
- Yeah, it was good.
It's a baby.
Excuse us.
We must look like freaks.
- Not me.
You with the hair.
- Well, did you know about him
and his family or whatever
before you got married?
