I took a really long nap,

and I just relaxed.

That's great.

So tell me you got

the wine.

What are you

talking about?

Baby, please tell me

you got wine.

Yes, of course I got the wine.

Yes! Thank you.

So I made a couple

phone calls today,

and it looks like I'm going

to be tutoring next week.

That's great.

How do you open

this f***ing thing?

You know, for all

the wine you drink,

you should really learn

how to use a corkscrew.

Just be patient.

It will...

Baby. Baby, can you

please open it for me?

Let me

get this straight.

I'm an overworked man out in the

sun all day pouring concrete

and cutting 2X4s.

And I'm making you dinner and you

want me to open this f***ing thing?

Yes, I do.

Thank you.

So it looks like it's not going

to be a lot of money, but...

I think it's going to get me

out of the house for awhile.

Well, if you're happy,

I'm happy.

That's really good.

Oh, and I got a movie.

Really? What did you get?

It's one

of my favorites.

Until we get the cable, you're

just going to have to trust me.

Okay, I trust you.

Baby, hurry! I don't want

to watch this by myself.

Okay, okay,

I'm coming.

Come on.

Come on, we have to go.

Thank you.

I'm going to go get help.

Did it get

to the good part yet?

Which part

is the good part?

Well, all of it is

the good part.

I've seen this, like,

a hundred times.

I used to watch this

as a kid.

I bet you didn't get much sleep.

Well, it didn't

really bother me.

It freaked out Ryan.

Your little brother?

It scares the hell out

of me and I'm an adult.

I used to sneak outside and

bang on his bedroom window.

And one time, I wrote his name in

fake blood on the bathroom mirror.

Are you serious!

You're such an a**hole.

I am not.

I provide a...

You provide

a lot of sh*t.

I mean, poor Ryan.

With a brother like you,

who needs enemies?

I'm not anyone's enemy.

Who gets cheap thrills scaring

the hell out of somebody?

I mean, no wonder Ryan

doesn't talk to you.

Lizzy, watch the movie.

Never mind.

The forecast, cloudy

skies with flurries today.

We can expect

up to an inch of snow...

Somebody there?

Jason, Jason,

are you awake?

Jason, Jason,

wake up.

I heard something.

It's coming from the kitchen.

Lizzy, it's

probably nothing.

Jason! Jason, wake up!

There's somebody trying to get in!

Okay, I'm up.

I'm up.

Jason, there's somebody banging

on the kitchen window.

Are you sure?

Yes, damn it!

I'm telling you.

You know what? Forget it.

I'm calling the cops.

No, don't. I'll go

check it out.

It's probably just the

neighborhood kids doing something.

It's fine, just...

Whatever.

I'll handle it myself.

F***ing scary movies.

Are you all right?

Stop!

Jason?

Jason? Is that you?

Who's there?

Stop!

What are you trying

to say to me?

Suzy, meet the nice lady.

Who are you?

What do you want?

What is it?

She's here!

She? Who's she?

She's here...

Who? Who is she?

She wants...

Wants what?

What does she want?

She wants to kill me.

Have you... Have you

been taking your pills?

Lizzy, it sounds like your childhood

environment is triggering some memories,

as unpleasant

as they may be.

Who is it?

Yes?

Who is it?

Who is it?

Jason?

Jason, answer me!

- I'm the cable guy.

- Who are you?

I'm the cable... Don't have a cow, b*tch.

I'm the cable guy.

Come in.

Didn't you hear me

yelling at you?

I tried the front door.

No, I was asking you...

like three or four times

I asked who it was.

I was jamming. I was jamming.

What?

What? You scared

the sh*t out of me.

You know what?

I'm going to call your boss.

I'm sorry, Mrs...

Allen. Miss Allen.

You know what? Just call me...

just call me Lizzy, okay?

I like that, Lizzy.

My name is Jared.

Pleased to meet you, Lizzy.

Come in.

It's right over here.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

This is f***ing sh*t,

f***ing sh*t.

I think I know what...

Look at... Look at it.

Look at the f***ing screen.

This is...

Oh, Jesus Christ.

I chose the wrong

f***ing profession.

Just f*** my mother as well,

you Jesus Christ, man.

Major job. Major problem.

But don't worry about that.

I can take care of that.

That's my job.

So you enjoy

installing cable?

Fills the fridge.

I have 16 kids.

16?

17. One is retarded.

But you know, it's just

a temporary job

until I find out

exactly what I want.

I understand that.

How long you been

doing this?

16 months?

Yes.

Oh.

Hey, baby.

Hey, crazy.

Look, I forgot to tell you the cable

guy's going to show up later today,

so when he does, let me know.

I have some questions...

He's here right now.

And don't call me crazy, crazy.

Hey, ask him about

hooking up the internet.

Ah, it's working

now, Lizzy.

Oh, no. He can't do

anything about the internet.

Baby, listen to me.

Baby, he can. Just ask him.

Cable companies do internet, too.

Okay, I'll ask him but

just stop yelling at me.

Ah, I know.

Don't tell me.

Your old man wants internet, too, right?

Yeah.

Don't do it.

You know why?

Why?

Between me and you.

Right.

He wants to check out hot chicks.

Why?

To get fresh p*ssy.

That's what he wants.

Because yeah, yeah, he wants fresh p*ssy.

Oh, really?

You can cool down now.

You know, you're...

Nobody wants...

Yeah, yeah,

but cool chicks.

Cold meat?

That's what you are in his eyes.

Cold meat.

You're not hot chicks anymore, okay?

Okay.

Yeah, but don't get

too discouraged.

You know, in my eyes,

you're hot.

Oh, thank you.

You know why you're hot?

Why?

Because

you're sexy.

You know why you're sexy?

Why?

Because you're

very stupid.

Oh, I'm stupid.

Yeah, you are.

Stupid and sex...

Stupidity is sexiness.

Oh, I'm stupid. Okay.

Very stupid.

Right.

And you're sexy.

Oh, great. Thank you.

What do we need to do

about this connection here?

Let's see. I need for you to

show me where the connection is.

I... let's go. This way.

Let's go.

I love that.

Anyway...

Call me.

This is my business card.

If a woman answers,

hang up.

Just right this way.

All right.

You know, Lizzy.

There must be a cut cable

somewhere around here.

There we go.

Oh, I guess...

No, I'm sorry.

Oh, you know what?

Must be here.

It must be in here.

Just got

to get it open.

Okay.

I don't know.

It's nailed shut or something.

I can't get it open.

Yeah.

It's a man's job, Lizzy.

It's a man's job.

You'll learn that sooner or later.

Give Mr. Macho

a break here.

No.

We've got to get some guys to

move that board away later.

I don't know. What's...

what's in there anyway?

I mean, like Jimmy Hoffa?

I don't know.

I'm not going down there.

I mean, can't you just

hook it up, or...

No. No, Lizzy.

It's a no-no.

No. We have to get

this cable here.

First we want to unhook it,

and then we move on from there.

We wouldn't want to get

into any more violations.

Code violations here, okay?

So you don't want that. Trust me.

Damn it!

Oh, yeah.

Ow, ow, ow.

Jason? Is that you?

Okay, just...

Not again.

Just focus.
