Our Idiot Brother
All right.
- There you go.
- Thanks.
Sadie. Those aren't ours. Sorry, sorry.
- Let's go find Mommy.
- Sadie.
Thank you.
Officer Washburn, how you doing today?
Ned, you always have
the most gorgeous rhubarb.
It's Willie Nelson's poo
that gives it that glow.
- My dog, Willie Nelson.
- Oh. Hey, Willie.
Is that true?
Um... Listen, Ned...
you wouldn't happen to know where I
could get some, uh...
- You know what I mean?
- What?
Roll it up, toke it up, do it up.
- Mary Jane...
- You know, officer...
even if I did,
do you really think I'd tell you?
Oh, uh...
You're right, I'm sorry.
It's... it's been a hard week,
you know?
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
But, not your problem.
You have a good day.
Officer.
Here you go, officer,
have some rhubarb.
Hey, thanks, man. Wow.
- How much do I owe you?
- Nothing.
Seriously, I understand. I know
what it's like to have a hard week.
Well, thank you, but I wouldn't
be able to enjoy it unless I...
All right, if you insist. Uh...
Twenty bucks.
- Twenty bucks?
- Yeah.
- Put it back into the produce.
- Twenty bucks.
- All right, thank you.
- Excellent.
You're under arrest.
- Really.
- Oh!
You're under arrest.
Oh, sh*t.
Willie Nelson didn't do anything.
It's gonna be OK, Willie Nelson.
It's gonna be all right.
So, Kaplan,
from Westbank Capital, right,
he stands up, bids $25,000.
This is like a $500 bottle of wine,
$480, right
- OK.
- Great, yeah. Good night.
OK.
Take this off.
Damn it. What?
Jeremy, my pilot light's out again.
Well, just use a match, you moron.
Last time I did that
I almost singed oh' my eyeball.
Will you just come up and
do the thing with the thing
behind the thing that you did?
It'll take two minutes.
Goddamn it.
OK, I'll be up in five minutes. OK?
- What?!
- Are you having sex?
- OK, I'll be right there.
- You're gonna leave right now?
I'll be back in a couple of minutes,
I just have to help her out.
- No.
- I'm a good neighbor.
Huh! it's, uh, 7:35,
you know kids these days.
It's so depressing.
Your friends from the law firm
will be here, right?
Yeah, but it's casual Friday.
OK, what does that mean?
A lot of bad lawyer clothes.
One of the things
about being the dumb, slutty one
is that it gives you
a unique perspective.
So, Ralph and I are doing it
on the ping pong table,
you know, f***ing.
Hey.
Hey.
- Oh, my God.
- What have you done to your vagina?
It's a Brazilian.
Bizarre.
- See you later, Campbell!
- Take good care of that leg.
- Take care.
- Hey! Hope I don't see you again.
I'm coming home
I've done my time
I Now I've got to know
what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter
telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know
just what to do
If you still want me
Then you still want me
Tie a yellow ribbon
'round the ole oak tree
it's been three long years
Do you still want me?
If I don? see a ribbon
'round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see
a yellow ribbon 'round
The ole oak tree-
Get back.
You stay cool, little mama.
Not in front of the chickens, babe...
- Sweetie! Hey, sweetheart.
- Ned! Whoa.
- Whoa. What are you doing here, man?
- They let me go early.
Good behavior. I won Most Cooperative
Inmate, four months running.
- Of course you were.
- I missed you so much.
- Baby, I...
- Hey, man.
Hi.
Ned, this is Billy.
Billy, this is... Ned.
Oh. I've heard a lot about you.
How's it going, Ned?
Janet's told me a lot of stuff about
you. Some of it's pretty intense.
I've made some changes
since you've been gone.
I told her to tell you earlier,
but you know what she's like...
Billy, you said you'd be supportive.
- Sorry, man.
- It's all right.
It's cool you're out of jail.
- I'll let you guys do this.
- All right.
Thanks, Billy.
Wow, man.
Well... where do I go now?
Ned, you had, like,
eight months to think about this.
Yeah, but for eight months I thought
I was coming back here.
I mean, I've lived here for three years.
- I lived here before you lived here.
- It's not a contest!
Dude, this is what happens
when you don't use your head.
Can you just think for a minute what it
was like for me these past few months?
You? Well, you know, Where's...
Where's Willie Nelson?
Willie Nelson? Willie!
Willie! Hey, buddy!
- We'll be fine.
- But Willie Nelson is not your dog.
Tim, who's my friend, left him here.
Willie, who do you wanna live with?
Who do you wanna live with?
That is so not cool, Ned.
Are you seriously gonna
put that dog in that position?
Look, I am really happy
that you got out of prison.
But it is not fair to uproot
this animal. He loves it here.
I'm not gonna uproot him.
I'm still gonna work here.
Well, you think that Dave is gonna
take you back after what you did?
- Well, I'm still taking him with me.
- Where?
- Where, Ned?
- I...
That's what I thought.
Come on, Willie Nelson. Come on.
- Let's go.
- Come on! How can you do this to me?
To us?
We've had three beautiful years, man.
Let me go.
Not me and you, me and Willie Nelson.
Let's go.
- Come here. Get inside.
- Oh. Geez, Louise.
Today as I walk
through my garden
Of dreams
I'm alone- in the sweet
Where do you want me
to drop you, man?
Anywhere. Here's fine.
My past and my present
- Are one and the same
- Hey, man, you gonna be all right?
- I And the future holds
- Yeah.
Nothing for me
- Yesterday's kisses...
- Buddy, you can't come with me.
Don't you start crying,
too, OK?
And yesterday's memories
still find me
- Scenes from the past
- I can't...
Keep returning
I I've got a wonderful future
behind me
You say there is happiness
Waiting for me
But I know...
Hey, man, Janet's been trying
to rent out that old goat barn.
If you could get two months worth of
rent together, then maybe you could...
Seriously? Well,
what's she asking per month?
Well, she's been asking $400,
but for you, she'd probably
give it to you for $500.
You think she'd go for it?
You just worry about
getting that money together.
I'll take care of Janet.
Right on. Thanks, man.
Hey, just remember,
Omega-3s for the blepharitis,
it helps with everything.
- Thanks for the tip, Ned.
- Thanks, Hauser.
You know what the worst part is? She's
insisting on keeping Willie Nelson.
- No!
- No, way!
I thought she was a Buddhist
or something.
I'm so sorry, I know
how much you love him.
- That sucks, Ned.
- Yeah, it's really tough,
but you know what I'm gonna do
is get some money together
and I'm gonna rent the goat barn
on the back 40, so...
The goat barn. Pff.
Better hurry up on that one.
- Yeah.
- How much you need for the goat barn?
I'm sure we could rustle up
some cash for you?
Um, I thought we agreed as a family
not to loan each other money.
Yeah, no, right, obviously.
Because then we would've blown through
Dylan's inheritance by now.
I just thought that it would be,
you know, better if Ned were to...
earn it himself.
