me to replicate in the world of yoghurt.

Especially now that you're not a punk.

Well I'll always be a punker in here, Al.

Make no mistake.

But there's less need for me to call myself a

punker in a world where very notion of punk

then means commodified for the mass market.

How do you like your masala?

- It's really good.

Oh, you're not gonna eat any?

- Oh, I liquified it.

Listen, I would just like to formally and

quite sincerely apologize to you for

the BB gun incident. I lost my cool.

I was scared, for Sue. Scared for the dogs.

Scared for the general well-being of the pool.

So I just wanna say that I'm sorry, m-m...

- Mike... - my friend.

I blundered.

- Yeah, it's alright.

Yeah so that's, behind us!

And Sue tells me that you're a painter?

Yeah, very, very talented painter.

When did you have the opportunity to become

acquainted with the quality of his work, Sue?

That was my last business trip for uh,

Corporate Bliss.

And you thought, uh "a great

opportunity to promote my art" or

you thought "beautiful woman"?

First part. The um art one.

Now so you're the guy who paints

foxes and and hounds for corporate art?

Okay, cause I got something to say about that.

You take a, a Rottweiler,

no, let's say a Malinois...

chasing a fox, see you've got a

seriously new dynamic on your hands

because a Malinois on a fox's ass,

that would be a trip.

because a Malinois is gonna turn that little

fox into a fox meat inside a twenty-three

seconds, you know what I'm saying.

So I've decided a lobby for that little bit.

- Okay.

That was really great chicken, Jango.

- I loved that f***ing chicken Jango.

You'd have a better chicken in there,

you'd have to be a rooster.

Speaking up, who's up for some dessert?

I got a new flavour I wanna try on you guys:

Henry Rollins' chicken-wing crunch.

Hey Sue, Mike and I are gonna go to the

Cowboy Club after this and if you want to join

us? You know they've got really great dancing.

I'll think about it.

What I'm trying to say is that China is not

only gonna kick America's economic butt

but it's gonna invade the whole country.

I'm talking about you guys getting

like a whole new flag and whatnot.

You need to reorient your

way you think about Asians,

because we will blow your mind with

our uniqueness and inner beauty.

You think she's hot?

Yeah, sort of.

Hi, guys.

- Sue. Hi.

Hi, Mike.

You didn't bring Jango, did you?

No, no he's got kinda drunk so,

I've just told him that I had an errand.

Hey, you wanna dance with us, Sue?

- No.

Come on, I know you got a move.

- I don't have a move.

Everybody's got a move, Sue.

Mike, show her your move.

I don't have a move.

- Sue, don't you think Mike's got moves?

I bet you have, a move.

Come on, let's pass some moves.

Hey, did you hear? Aberdeen is building the

biggest bio-diesel field plant in the country.

Whatever you say man.

No, we should find a way to get in on that.

Hey, Jango.

You know why I'll always be a punker man?

Cause I take very little sh*t.

I'm watching you man.

You stay away from her.

Mike, Mike, you all right?

I'll get him back.

- Yeah man, that is a piece of scum, man.

I think he'll regret that.

So you're sure you wanna do this?

- Look, don't come if you don't want.

Dude.

I'm with you.

Okay, let's do it.

Dude, that was awesome!

Just...

Wait, wait. Drop. Go go go go!

Hold on. Sh*t!

I love you, Sue!

Hear that old man!

You suck.

Mike, you have visitor.

- Okay.

We need to talk, Mike.

- I know.

I've been leaving you messages.

Did you tell him about us?

- Yes.

Why?

Because I'm marrying him.

What?

Which I need you to accept.

Why?

Because I'm at a point in my life where

there are certain things that I need.

Like what?

Like a certain kind of love.

What kind?

The kind that is not like an unguided missile.

You can't just stalk people around the country.

You can't parachute into people's pools.

Knock on people's motel rooms

just because you're feeling lonely.

Life isn't like that.

Freedom to be with someone.

It's not all about what you need.

It's got to be more selfless than that.

Mike, it's got to be more selfless than that.

Oh, like, like save everyone else

in the world except yourself?

I don't, that's not what I do.

- Yes you do.

No. It's not.

- Yes it is!

You're so busy being selfless that

you end up treating yourself like sh*t.

That really what you think of me?

I'm just, I'm just saying... I know what you need.

Which is what?

- To take care of yourself a little.

So that the people who love you

don't feel like they're annoying you.

Sue, Sue, just, marry me.

Hey, let's just let the world go

screw itself for a half second.

And just see what happens

and maybe it'll be okay.

I'm getting married on Saturday.

- Why?

Cause I'm pregnant.

And I'm gonna have it.

It's what I want.

You're having a child?

Could it be mine?

No.

Which is why I'm getting married.

Mike I can't afford to be selfish on this one.

I just have to be with somebody who

knows what they're doing with their life.

I'm sorry.

Sweet just doesn't cut it.

Can you leave now, please?

Just leave, okay.

Get out of my basement, Sue.

Susan, I'm serious.

Get the f*** out of my basement right now!

I wish I had that dick's bb gun right now.

They're going on a honeymoon?

- I don't know.

Yeah, they'll probably wait

till the yoghurt season's over.

You're gonna be all right.

- Yeah.

I just wanna say Al,

you're the best friend I ever had.

Ditto.

What a douchebag huh?

You know that's enough to make

you want to be a buddhist monk.

My people are really good at that stuff.

Yeah?

Oh dude, don't get carried away.

Michael, the progress you've made in

your 4 months here has been remarkable.

Thank you, father.

Needless to say your immersion in the

duty of carriage shopper and boon chief

has been full and complete. - Thank you.

But some worries have arisen.

- Such as what, father?

First of all you're not supposed to call me father.

But I must say, I must admit I grow fond of it.

Michael...

An aspiring buddhist monk such

as yourself should seek to produce

a heart that does not dwell.

Of course, father.

And your heart Michael, may I say, does dwell.

No it doesn't.

- It does, Michael.

You have not transcended

your earthly passions.

To put it bluntly: you are stuck!

You also spend too much time playing volleybal.

Yeah but I thought that was permitted father.

Yes but not for seven hours a day.

- Also you encouraged it for stress release.

Yes, I, I did. Yes. But uh, Michael,

buddhists monks aren't supposed to

have seven hours a day worth of stress.

We are buddhist monks. Buddhist monks.

So what should I do?

My parents died when I was ten.

Two months later my uncle

and I moved to America.

I was forced to let go of everything I knew.

In order to move on.

Sometimes in life, you must do that.

Where are you from, father?

Vietnam. Hau Liang province?
