Rainbow time.

Damn it.

Hey, are you awake?

Lindsay, are you awake?

Hm?

Do you remember

the first time

we held hands?

We were walking

into that diner

after staying up

all night together.

Hm.

I just...

Never thought I'd...

Find someone like you.

Well, me too, sweetie.

Probably my brother again.

We should go

if we want to be on time.

Okay?

I love you.

I love you.

Hey...

Hey, bro.

Um, can you please

call me back,

and let me know that

you're bringing a tape?

Also, ask Lindsay

if she's cool

with being in it.

Maybe she doesn't mind

doing some nudity?

Some tasteful nudity?

For the scene.

It would be good

for the story.

Just kidding, bro, all right?

Don't...

Don't worry.

I mean, unless she

really wants to.

I don't know,

maybe she's kind of a...

A little freaky.

All right, well,

please call me back.

This is shonzi.

Duh.

Rainbow time.

Hey...

What's that?

Oh, Gretchen, my boss,

posted the video

we made.

Oh, cool.

Yeah, but some

of these comments are...

Really crazy.

Damn it, dude.

He keeps calling

'cause he wants to...

Wants us to shoot

this stupid movie with him.

Oh, he's just

so excited, it's cute.

You know why?

'Cause you're

gonna be there,

it has nothing

to do with me.

Just so you know,

I'm warning you.

Now, what is his...

Challenge again?

I can't remember.

Is it down's?

No, no, he's just

a little slow,

and in the womb,

he didn't get enough oxygen

because of his umbilical cord

or something

wrapped around his neck.

-Oh.

-Ah, yeah.

Well, there's also...

Also, there was this...

Incident when we were kids.

He likes to

hold that over me.

What happened to him?

I ran him over,

in a car...

Oh, Todd!

I know.

I was playing

in my dad's car,

I didn't see him

behind it.

Why was he behind it?

'Cause he was

humping the ground.

Oh, hi, shonzi.

What do you want?

Ew!

Get out of here!

Wait, but I really like you.

I saw you laughing at me

with those girls.

You were pretending

that you liked me?

And you're just trying

to mess with me.

And that's not cool.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Let me make it up to you.

What do you

have in mind?

Here.

Mm.

Hey...

Wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

Okay, if my dad asks us

to stay the night,

let's just say that

we have something

early in the morning,

and we can't, please?

-Okay.

-Okay.

I know that you're

stressed out about this,

but if you think you're

gonna have a bad time,

then you probably will.

You don't know shonzi.

He's a lot.

He's a lot.

-He's a lot?

-Yeah.

Well, did you use

the essential oil blend

that I made you?

-No.

-No?

I think I left it at home.

- We should go back.

No, I know

you're kidding.

It's very funny,

but it does actually

really help.

Yeah.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

Oh, oh, oh...

Hey!

You can't just

barge in, dad!

You're in here playing

with your f***in' dolls?

I asked you to help me

an hour ago.

I asked you

to straighten up.

Yeah, well, I'm

working on the movie

that I'm gonna make

with Todd and Lindsay.

Please, tonight,

can we just have

a nice, normal dinner?

Dad, we're gonna have

a normal dinner, all right?

But we're working

on this movie,

and you gotta

give me time for that.

-I'll get that, all right?

-Wait, no...

Dump the garbage,

take my jacket off.

-Well, I got...

-Take it off!

I got to do something.

We don't want any.

- Oh...

Very funny, dad, okay...

- Hi.

-Welcome, welcome.

-Come on in.

-Good one. Thank you.

Welcome to our humble abode.

-Oh, wow.

-Hey, dad.

Todd, good to see you.

You too.

So, this is Lindsay.

-Hi.

-Hey, Lindsay.

-So nice to meet you.

-Yeah.

Good to meet you.

Hi!

Now I know why

you haven't been

answering my calls.

- Wow!

- Would you like a glass of wine?

- Sure.

- -That'd be great.

Good idea, dad.

Yeah, this is

my brother, Shaun.

Or shonzi.

Or Arthur shonzarelli.

Okay, great.

-Come here.

-Hi...

So nice to finally

meet you, shonzi.

Dude, look at this hug.

- I'm looking at it.

-Oh, man.

Something's happening here.

Begin an erection...

What took you so long?

Did you get the tape?

What tape?

I don't know what tape

you're talking about.

- Good one.

-Thanks.

You're very brave.

I would not

get into a car

with this guy.

You know,

he ran my head over?

I heard about that.

Wow! Not even two minutes,

and you brought that up.

Well, I'm sorry.

When you get

your head run over,

it's a little hard

not to forget!

- Okay.

- -Yeah, I bet.

Don't worry,

I'm still pretty cool.

Like the fonz.

-Hey...

-Yes, hey...

-Does that say "ah?"

-Oh, my gosh!

It says, "ah."

Uh, no.

It says, "hey..."

I'm pretty sure

it says,

"ah..."

What, 'cause

of the "h"?

Yeah, 'cause

of the a-h-h.

It looks awesome.

Ahh-some.

Ahh-some.

- Yeah.

- -Or a-some.

All right, all right,

you got me.

I spelled it "ah..."

As a joke!

I thought that'd be funny

if he's like,

"ah!"

- It's funny.

- -It is funny.

Yeah, that was the joke.

- All right.

- -Okay.

I got

the first shot set up.

Okay.

I'm back!

How did you find me?

Never mind how I found you.

Tell me where she is.

Don't even think about it.

What the...

Hey...

-Ow!

-Oh...

Dude, not so f***in' hard.

Sorry! Don't

break character, though.

You're gonna break

the glasses.

Take 'em off, then.

Don't take them off.

- Yeah.

-They look so cool.

Really?

- I don't know.

- I think they look really cool.

I think they look sexy.

Here, switch with me.

No, you can't,

it's not going to

match the stuff

we already shot.

I don't care,

i wanna wear them.

Okay, whatever.

Do I look good?

- Yeah.

-You look great.

Tell me where she is.

Jesus Christ.

Please don't kill me.

Too late.

Here's your stupid

glasses back.

Now, does it match?

Hey...

Lindsay.

Dude, you just

threw those glasses at me.

You shouldn't have

glasses on right now.

Lindsay.

Lindsay!

Oh, there you are.

What did he

do to you?

Help!

Are you all right?

Oh.

Shonzi, thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Now for my reward.

And cut.

-Good.

-What?

That was great.

They gotta kiss.

Maybe we could...

Hey, guys!

Dinner's ready.

Special

with the shonzi.

Oh yeah.

That was a long hug.

I was just trying

to be friendly.

- Yeah, I know.

- I would not do that.

I could steal her

away from you.

I know you could.

Oh, my god.

You guys are so cute

in these pictures.

I'm the cute one.

You're both cute.

-Hear that?

-Yeah.

Oh...

This is so sweet.

Me and gilma in palm Springs.

Yeah.

Before she got sick.

I'm really sorry

for your loss.

Thank you.

So I got a new iPhone,

and I was thinking

i could give you my old one.

-What?

-Yeah.

The iPhone 5?

The 5s.

Dude, are you serious?

Yeah.

Any videos

of Lindsay on here?

No.

All right, photos?

Shut the f*** up.

Just change the subject,

what are you doing?

I just want to know

you're happy, everything good?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

Yeah, we're fine.

How long you guys

been together?

Officially, um,

six months.

But a little longer.
