An already opened camera?

Do you want this, too?

Or should we save it

for your birthday?

What are you doing?

Hold this.

Jesus, God.

It's heavy.

Yeah, because it's nice.

What? No, higher, Mom. Higher.

No, it's clearly way too high.

Oh, it's clearly way too high.

- Okay. Jesus.

"Congratulations. You've been entered

in a once in a lifetime contest. "

..."One night.

One prize. One game. "

Ooh.

I guess it's

like a scavenger hunt.

- Mom? Mom.

- Oh. Oh, this is bad.

Where are the clippers?

- What clippers?

- Give it to me.

- Why? Why?

- Where are the clippers?

Because it's a contest

- And you know what I win?

A job?

I win $10,000.

What I'm trying to say is...

- Leonard!

So, um...

Leonard! Hurry!

Sh*t.

Uh,

I think this is gonna be

a really good night for me.

So thank you.

- It's a bad idea.

- Stop fighting me and help me!

Big old damn prize.

What are you doing?

Oh, there he is.

There's that handsome boy.

Do you have to

cackle right in my face?

Oh. Oh, his sideburns, too?

Damn!

Look at you.

- Do you wanna do my head?

- No.

Hey, it's me.

Um...

Hey, uh, sorry,

I was just calling to, um...

Let you know that I won...

...a camera. One second.

Hello?

- Tom?

- Em.

Are we gonna watch a movie?

Yeah, baby. Just chill out. But

there's something cool first.

What?

Um... More surprises.

- More?

- This was left on the doorstep.

- Just now?

- Yeah. I think it's part two of the contest.

You think so?

Okay.

What is that?

"Tom and Emmy. "

You think that is I...

- That's us.

- That is us.

"Keep filming. "

- Yay! Hence the camera.

- I think we got that.

- We got that one down.

- Yeah. We got that.

"1805 Mockingbird. "

I, uh, that is where we're

going to be given bags of gold.

- That's it?

- I'm assuming.

Oh.

Just give me a second.

- Oh. I missed something.

- Mmm-hmm.

Picture of a car?

Picture of us at the mall.

- What?

- I don't know.

Let me see.

Tom?

- That's weird.

- Where's the rest?

Are you happy?

You're not gonna

give it to me, are you?

I don't have anything.

This was it!

I think it was this camera.

That was it!

- All right.

- What?

Are you seriously disappointed that

all we got was a very expensive camera?

No,

no, it's just that you said,

- "Oh, you... You won another prize. "

- Well, the...

So I thought you like talked

to somebody outside.

- I didn't know what was in that thing.

- Oh.

...Hello?

I don't know.

Just some photos.

Yeah. It looks like

they were taken, um...

On campus or something.

Yeah, I don't know.

No, no. I'm sure it's fine.

I'll call campus tomorrow.

I'm gonna call tomorrow

'cause I don't care tonight.

Why would I call the cops?

No.

Mom...

No.

I'm not gonna do that, okay.

Mom.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

- Call Billy.

- Why?

Because maybe

he's heard of a...

"Keep Filming. "

You think there's a business

called "Keep Filming"?

Well, what do you think?

Well, I think that just 'cause

Billy works downtown he doesn't...

All right. I'll call him.

God, you're such a punk!

Oh!

- Tom.

- What?

The phone's not charged.

Is it so hard to like put

the phone back on the charger?

I'll judge. Here. Gimme.

Gimme it. Gimme it. Gimme it.

It's dead.

No, the phone is charged,

sweetheart.

The line is dead.

The storm probably

knocked out the line.

Mom? Ah. Ha-ha!

Oh.

Shocking.

You are of no help to me.

This is why Dad ran off.

What is this?

Oh, my God. Yes. Yes! Yes!

A clown outfit.

I'm gonna put

on big old shoes

Help me get some girlfriends

Yes, it will

Ah!

Oh, yes!

Yes!

Look.

Presenting

"Leonard the Badass Clown. "

This is without a doubt

the coolest moment of my life.

Hey, Mom, I need your keys.

Hello?

Hello?

...Oh!

Wait. Wait, wait. Wait, wait.

Hey there, boys and girls.

Why so down?

I got a game for us to play.

Do you like movies?

What is it?

What are they saying?

They want me to...

They want me to

They wanna see your face.

Pick up the camera.
