Psycho Brother In-Law Page #2

---

- Yeah, it looks insane on TV.

- Yeah, it can be dangerous.

I saw a guy disappear once.

- Oh, my God.

What happened?

- He was standing by the railing

at the edge of the boat.

The waves started

getting bigger.

I yelled something to him.

But then the boat pitched.

And then he was just gone.

One minute, someone

was standing there.

The next, they weren't.

I didn't even have time to

reach out and offer him help.

- So what happened?

Did they ever find him?

- No.

- That's awful.

- Yeah.

But to be honest,

he wasn't a very nice guy.

Anyways, it feels really

nice to be making

a solid living for once,

you know.

- Yeah, that's great, David.

- But enough about me.

It looks like we got

a math wizard on our hands?

- We sure do.

- I was always

terrible at it.

- Oh, me too.

She definitely gets it

from her father.

- Yeah, well, Eric was

always good with numbers.

- Yeah.

- Well, it's a shame

to have missed him.

I don't want

to impose on you all.

So I should probably be

getting back to my motel.

- Wait. Are you kidding?

David, stay with us.

- I make good money,

so it's not an issue.

- No, it's not that.

You're family.

We have a guest bedroom

for a reason.

- Not sure what Eric

would think about that.

- I'm sure he'll be

excited to see you.

- Yeah, okay.

- Okay.

[ laughing ]

- I think you're right.

Hey, you're home early.

- Yeah. I thought

we could actually

have dinner together for once.

- Look who's here.

- Hey, Eric.

How's it going?

- Hi. When did you...

- He works in Alaska now, Dad.

Crab fishing like

in the shows you watch.

Me and mom made him stay.

- Which I knew

you would want, right?

- Yeah, absolutely.

Well, just excuse me a minute.

- Eric.

Sorry. I...

Let me just...

- It's okay.

- Eric?

Eric? Hey.

[ rock music plays ]

- Are you kidding me?

How do you not like this song?

It's awesome.

- I hate it.

I mean, I just hate it.

Come on, Uncle Dave.

Can I pick a song?

- Be my guest.

I'm gonna go grab a beer.

- Okay.

- Are you excited

for sundaes?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Remember on our first date

I had a craving

for a hot fudge sundae?

You drove me to every

restaurant in town

trying to find

sundaes at midnight.

Why are you mad, babe?

- I'm not.

- I don't understand

what's going on.

You love your brother.

You only every have

good things to say about him.

- Of course, I love him.

I just...

- What?

- I just... I'm surprised,

that's all.

My head's in my work.

- You should have seen

David's face

when you walked away from him.

He was crushed.

- One of our presentations

fell through.

We're way, way behind.

I just didn't expect to see

my brother who I haven't seen

in a million years

in my living room

when I got home from work.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

You married a jerk.

- No, I married a sweet guy.

Now go be that sweet guy

to the brother

you haven't seen in

a million years.

- Okay, all right.

- Hey.

- Hey, man.

- Can I have one of those too?

- Hey, what's going on?

- Hey. Let's just give them

a minute, okay?

- Hey, sorry I haven't...

- No, don't... don't worry

about it, man.

- Thank God we had a daughter.

[ laughs ]

- A perfect daughter?

- An absolutely

perfect daughter.

[ giggles ]

- She doesn't know

what happened with me?

- No, no.

Mm-mmm.

- Just so you know, man,

that was like

a really long

time ago, right?

I'm totally

straightened out now.

Got a great job,

seeing a therapist,

taking meds.

I don't know, man,

I feel like 100%, 110%.

I get it.

If I were you,

I'd be concerned too.

But I just want you to know

that like it's all good.

- Want another beer?

- No, no. I'm good.

- Let's get back to the girls.

- Yeah.

- Oh, hey, there's a fishing

spot outside of town.

It's beautiful.

I'll take you there once things

kind of slow down at work.

- Yeah? Sounds good.

- Actually, how long are you

planning on sticking around for?

- I hadn't really

given it much thought.

- Watch yourself there,

bright boy!

You'll get yourself hurt

bumping into people.

- Excuse me?

- David, don't, all right?

Just... David, just don't.

- It's cool.

- Okay.

You have a safe night, sir.

- That's what I thought.

- You guys ready

to come sit down?

- Yeah, yeah, we'll, uh...

we're coming.

- Okay.

- That's a hell of a nice

family you got, man.

You got it all.

- Thanks.

I appreciate that.

- You should.

- Hey, what happened

at the bar?

I thought David

was gonna deck that guy.

- Just some drunk

that was, uh...

bothering me.

- You okay?

- Yeah, yeah.

David's just protective.

- Hmm.

- Babe, I'm sorry.

I'm really tired and stressed.

And I have to get this done

then get some sleep.

- Are you sure?

- Seriously, Kay,

I'm exhausted.

Just let me

finish this, please?

- Okay.

Maybe tomorrow

after date night?

- Yeah, definitely.

Oh, God.

I've made you resort

to scheduling sex with me?

- Hey, whatever works.

Goodnight.

- 'Night, babe.

- Hey, I'm sorry too.

For not asking you

about David staying here.

- Oh, that's okay.

I mean, why would you know

there was a problem?

- Is there a problem?

Is there something

going on between you two

I should know about?

- No.

We're good.

sweep out wide,

down rise, exhale.

And strong down to the heart.

Again, just like that.

Big breath. Inhale.

Exhale coming...

- Oh!

- Hey, sorry.

- Hi.

- I just came to ask where

you like to keep the skillet.

- Oh, just under the stove

in that little drawer.

- Right.

I like that instructor.

She's great.

- You do yoga?

- Yeah, and meditation.

Gotta stay sane.

[ chuckles ]

Anyways, it looks like

it's treating you well.

- Thanks.

Glad somebody finally noticed.

I mean, not to sound like

an idiot, but, you know.

You work all hard and

finally get in shape,

and then nobody cares.

Nobody's come to my door with

a congrats on the abs trophy.

- Well, I'm sure

Eric appreciates it.

- Sure.

- As in you look healthy

and relaxed, you know.

- Yoga's a liar then.

Because I don't think

I'm ever really relaxed.

- Right.

Well, you've got a lot

on your plate, so...

Anyways, I made you a smoothie

and it's in the fridge

for when you're done.

- You really don't

have to do that.

- It's not a problem.

Just trying to help out.

Anyways, I'll get

outta your hair.

- Hey.

- Hmm?

- I was gonna run some errands

and head over to school soon.

Wanna come with?

Keep me company?

- Yeah, sure, yeah.

It would probably be good

for me to get out of the house

and see the town a little bit.

See where my niece

hangs out all day.

- Let me shower

and eat real quick.

- All right.

Awesome sauce.

- Awesome sauce?

- I guess Laura's been rubbing

off on me a little bit.

- I don't think teens say

awesome sauce anymore.

- No?

- Mm-mmm.

- Cool beans?

Do they say that?

[ laughs ]

- No.

- I don't know then.

- Yeah, just right in here.

- Great.

- Oh.

- Oh, good. You're here!

We were just talking

about how to, um... hi.
