A**holes.

- Hey, where've you been?

- Nowhere.

Nowhere?

- I went running.

- Bullshit.

Am I talking to you?

Hey, come here.

Empty your pockets.

Ma, come on.

Can I go now, officer?

Check his socks.

F*** off!

No one's talking to you.

Hey. Don't talk to your brother like that.

Hand them over.

What did I tell you about this, huh?

Go get ready.

I didn't know you could read.

You're the one in summer school, dumbass.

- Hey, yo, I'm in here.

- Yo, hurry up.

- Are you jacking off in there?

- No!

Got some tweezers out here,

if you're having trouble.

Can I have some privacy please. Dude.

Hey, look, we're leaving in five minutes.

I ain't waiting for you.

Okay. Yep.

Don't flush the toilet, alright?

Hey, ahh, damn it.

- A**hole!

- Five minutes!

I'm coming.

- Ma, the phone.

- Jack, come on.

- Who is it?

- I dunno.

Well, can you find out?

Yo, come on.

I'm gonna be late.

- Fine. Come on. Come on.

- Jack.

This is Karen, Tom and Jack.

Please leave a message.

Hey, Karen, it's Grant.

Uh, hello?

Look, I hate to leave something like this on your machine,

so if you're there, please pick up.

Your sister had another incident last night.

She's fine.

I mean, they say

it's not as bad as last time, but...

I have to drive us back to the clinic tomorrow

and I don't have anybody to look after Ben.

I was hoping that he could come

stay with you guys for just a couple of days.

Look, I just...

I just really can't take him with me.

Could you give me a call back

as soon as you get this?

- You okay for a ride back?

- Yeah.

Do you think you can spot me like five bucks,

maybe just for lunch.

- Jesus Tom!

- I just... I got no cash.

Hey, thanks mom.

[???] in today?

Yeah. [???] Monday.

[???]

Don't let him dick you around.

...you see compounds that have two of the same,

they're gonna be what?

Pretty much non-polar.

So you can have things

that have two nitrogens and whatnot.

Okay, in a polar bond...

It's not like an ionic bond

that we talked about

where one of the elements

gives up an electron to the other one

in order to satisfy

that valence ring of eight.

They end up sharing still,

so they're covalent.

Okay. But let's take fluorine...

And who remembers...?

We went over...

Fluorine is the most electronegative.

And you need to remember that.

Now, what we're gonna do later, not today...

But there's numbers

on the periodic table that actually...

Somebody's gone in and said-

Put a number to how electronegative this is.

- Cya later.

- Bye.

Hey, Robyn.

Hey, Robyn.

What's up?

Could I talk to you for a sec?

About?

Just to talk?

Nah, dude, I gotta get home.

But text me.

Alright, cool.

Well, you're still having that party

tomorrow night, right?

Yeah.

Alright, well.

I guess I'll see you there then, yeah?

- Yeah, alright.

- Alright, cool.

What makes you think you're invited, Scab?

It's a free house, ain't it?

- Yeah, but no tiny d*cks allowed.

- Shut up, Holly.

What?

We all saw the photo, Tiny Tim.

Whatever.

You've never even f***ing seen one before.

Have too.

Your dad's don't count.

Scab's got a tiny dick.

- Scab's got a tiny dick.

- That's not my name.

I said that's not my name.

Yo, Jack.

'The f*** you think you're going?

Hey, Shane.

Hey, Shane?

What, are we f***ing friends now,

or something?

Go pick on someone else, d*ckhead.

Yo, Harriet, shut the f*** up.

This look familiar to you, huh?

No?

Oh, that's really funny.

'Cause some a**hole came to my dad's house

this morning and tagged my garage.

You know what they wrote?

No.

F*** off.

- No ideas huh?

- Get the f*** off!

Next time,

it's going in your f***ing mouth.

Got me?

C*nt.

Hey, Jack.

Jack.

Jack.

Leave me alone.

Are you okay?

Fine.

You know, you can come wash your face

at my house it's just right around the corner...

Leave me alone.

Fine.

Be a dick.

- Tom back yet?

- No.

Anyone call?

Three new messages.

Can you turn that down?

Hey, Karen, it's Grant.

Uh, hello?

Look, I hate to leave something like this on your machine,

so if you're there, please pick up.

Your sister had another incident last night.

Jack, turn that off.

- Ma.

- Off.

Ma. I was just about...

No, I'm still here.

No, no. It's fine.

Of course we can.

Yeah.

How's he taking it?

Okay, when does he get in?

Tomorrow, right? Okay.

Fine.

Yeah. Yeah, please. Just have her call me

when she's feeling more herself. Okay.

Yeah. Have her call me.

Okay.

Bye.

Who was that?

Get off.

What is that stuff?

Paint.

Why can't Tom look after him?

Tom's working.

It's just a couple of days.

What is your problem?

Nothing.

He's your cousin.

So?

So? He's family. Look out for him.

Tom's family.

He ain't never looked after me.

He'd be there when you needed him.

Says you.

This is it.

Don't mention Aunt Sharon.

Not unless he brings it up.

How was the ride?

Had to get up at the crack of dawn, huh?

Grant told me that

you started taking guitar lessons.

You know, the neighbours

might have one if you wanted to practice.

Sorry your mum went crazy.

Ow. What the f***.

He didn't mean that, Ben.

Watch your language.

Hey, why don't you show Ben

around the neighbourhood?

Don't wanna.

Jack. Jack, come here.

Listen, I'm doing remote all morning,

so I don't want you boys in the house.

Ma, I don't wanna go out.

Hey, thanks, Ben.

Listen. I don't ask you for a lot of things,

so just help me out here.

Just look after your cousin this weekend.

And get the last bag.

You don't want to go out? Fine.

But you stay upstairs or you go out back.

I don't want to see you downstairs.

That's Tom's. Don't touch it.

Don't sit there.

Jesus Christ, dude.

Take your f***ing bag off.

Look. I'm not your babysitter, alright?

If you want something to do,

I got some old toys under my bed.

Go on.

Look. I got some rules

to set straight while you're here, alright?

First, if you see any people

I know, you don't talk.

Like, at all.

Like, even if they ask you a question like

"What's your name?" You don't answer.

Second, I don't want you talking about

anything we did when we were kids, okay?

I mean... I guess if you're not talking at all,

it won't be a problem.

But even if you had to talk,

which you shouldn't,

I don't want you talking about that stuff.

Got that?

Yeah.

Do you have a ball for this?

Get ready to duck.

I don't want to hit you in the face,

and you go crying and get me in trouble.

Okay.

If it does hit you in the face though,

just say you fell over or some sh*t.

Okay? While we were playing catch.

Okay.

Oh, and if it goes into

the neighbours yard, you gotta go get it.

'Cause if they see me

in there again, I'm f***ed.

- Okay.

- Alright.

Let's see it.

F***.

What was that?

Throw it-

You gotta throw it proper.

Like this. You see?

You see that?

I think that's softball.

It's not. It's f***ing baseball,

that's what it is.

Throw it like that this time.

You ready?

F***.

You're not doing it right.

You're putting-
