You're not the devil.

How could you have known

that they were brothers?

I don't really know

but I feel like maybe I

did, like some dark part

of me knew that it was bad

and then it made me do it

because that's what it wants.

So you're psychic now?

I don't know.

You're just like all

powerful and all knowing.

And everything that

happens, happens

because you make it happen.

Like if someone takes

a sh*t in China,

it's because you

did something bad.

OK.

So what are you going to do?

Nothing.

I'm not going to do anything.

I'm going out with Robbie.

Uh huh.

And you have no feelings

for Bill, whatsoever.

Honestly, who cares?

I can't trust my feelings.

My feelings are f***ed.

Does it bother you

that he's blind?

No, I like it.

Oh, you're into it.

Not into it.

You find it sexually alluring.

Well, not... I don't

mean like, oh, I like it.

You know what I'm

looking for in a guy?

Like someone a

little taller than me

and preferably kind of

handsome, and you know,

visually impaired.

Oh my god.

I think there are websites

for people like you.

Are you going to pay

for that printing?

No.

And yet you boss me.

I work, I don't steal.

And yet you boss me.

You want to come over

to my house later?

I don't think

that's a good idea.

It is just sex.

To be honest with you,

I just got my period.

Christ, all you American

men, you're so sensitive.

Is that oil?

Yeah, it's good for resistance.

You have to shave off

that vital half a second.

Meet you out there.

I'm going to take a sh*t.

Didn't know that you

were going to be here.

Robbie asked me to come.

So are you like his new reader?

Yeah.

Didn't know you did that.

Well, I mean, I just started.

Well, it's very nice of you.

You didn't tell me that

your brother was blind.

I thought I did.

You didn't

I'm pretty sure I did.

Hi.

Where's my special lady?

Hey.

Hey.

- Hi.

- There you are.

Hi.

How are you doing?

Oh, I like the feel of this.

You in a swimsuit,

that's so nice.

What color is it?

Um, it's blue.

Ah, it's blue.

I like blue.

Well, my brother

says you're hot, so...

Oh, well...

Gotta be something.

OK.

OK, get ready to

watch poetry in motion.

What did you think?

Good.

OK.

Hey, Bill, you gotta

get Rose on the roster.

She really wants to

help out, get involved.

Show her how to use the finger.

Are you going to tell him?

What, that I've see you naked?

Yeah, weirdly, I don't

think that's the best idea.

Yeah, because that would be a

really weird way to say that.

I didn't know that

he was your brother.

You said that already.

Is this part of, like,

you being a better person?

And what do you mean by that?

Robbie isn't a baby

elephant to you, is he?

Right.

Right.

No, he's not.

We met.

We got along.

We decided to go out.

I thought you said you didn't

want to go out with anyone,

that you wanted to

focus on helping people.

Yeah, OK, sorry.

I changed my mind.

Yeah, I see that.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh.

God, damn it.

Where is he?

What happened?

He swam into the

side of the pool.

I just... I just took my eyes

off of him for a second.

Hi, I'm Phil, Bill's dad.

Hi, I'm Rose.

It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, you're Rose.

How sweet of you to come.

We have heard so much about you.

Oh.

You are so pretty.

Hey, hey.

- You're very pretty.

- Oh...

Hey, Robbie.

Oh, my walking wounded.

Oh, it's fine.

I'm sure it's not

as bad as it looks.

Oh, you're still gorgeous.

Isn't he gorgeous, Rose?

What, you stayed?

Oh, that's so sweet.

It's really... it's

not a big deal.

Not the first time

Bill's dropped the ball.

Sorry about that, Rob.

All right, should we go?

Yeah.

Cool.

Come on, Rose, come with us.

I'll get the car.

Nice to me you, finally.

Nice to meet you, too.

Hey, how do I look?

Great.

You look really strong.

TV:
Focused, determined.

So it gives me great

pleasure to present

him with this check for $6,548.

...to the Out of sight...

You have a mirror face.

What?

You have a face

that you make when

you're looking in the mirror.

What kind of face am I making?

Like a regal bunny.

Dah, crowd loved

it when I did that.

Yeah, you're a really

good public speaker.

Lots of practice.

You want to see my mirror face?

Sure.

Do you want to

stay over tonight?

Might be a good idea

in case I pass out.

I'm injured.

Right, yeah.

OK.

You want to see my room?

Sure.

ROBBIE:
Hey, I want

to show you something.

ROSE:
Wow, that's big.

ROBBIE:
Yeah, I got

that one for archery.

And that one's for tennis,

um, skiing, soccer.

So how's it going with Rose?

Oh good, really good.

Yeah, she seems nice.

I even kind of

like her birthmark.

What birthmark?

She's got a birthmark.

Where?

On her cheek.

It's interesting.

It's kind of like the

shape of Kentucky.

Well, I hope it's not gross.

I can't believe

you didn't tell me.

Sorry.

So you didn't tell me

about your birthmark.

I don't have a birthmark.

Bill says you have a

birthmark on your cheek.

No.

You thought I had a birthmark?

Maybe you just had like ketchup

on your face or something.

You OK?

Yeah, I just don't

really like boats.

You should tell

me and get seasick.

I did.

He told me to push through.

You're doing great, Rob.

What?

I just said you're doing great.

I know.

You know, you've

been very helpful

with all the swim stuff.

Seriously.

If left to my own devices, I

would just be at home all day

doing nothing at all.

I'm actually quite lazy.

I don't know if you

know that about me.

You're not lazy at all.

Oh, no, I am.

I just hide it pretty well.

What would be your perfect day?

Uh, I get up and I have

some toast with butter

and a cup of tea.

And my boss has called

because he wants

me to watch Cheers

and the Golden Girls,

and maybe Roseanne

if I have time.

For your work.

Yes, oh, because I watch

TV on behalf of the poor.

Well, that's very good of you.

Whoa, there, you're

going to capsize.

It's a white squall.

Will you f***ing stop?

Stop it.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I don't get it.

He gets everything.

He's the hero.

He's the amazing Robbie.

He ain't that amazing.

You should just

tell him you ain't

going to do his stupid swim.

Oh, yeah, and just cancel

out the last 18 years.

Can you imagine how

that would make me look?

Who gives a sh*t

what you look like?

Take the girl, man.

How can I do that when

he's got everything?

You can see the b*tch.

Damn, man.

We've got to figure out a way

to make you seem more masculine.

You lift weights?

Not very heavy ones.

Why do you have a Bible?

Girls like dudes with Bibles.

Whatchu mean?

Oh, you've got a gun?

No, I don't have a gun.

I've got a gun.

What?

Oh, because I'm blind

I can't have a gun?

No, you got a little blunt

like right on your front

tooth right here.

Oh.

Huh?

You got it.

Good looking out.

Yeah, let me hit that.

Let me hit that blunt.

Let me hit that blunt.

Yeah, they're

called nutritiarians.

And it's not about the
