You want a burger?

Get over here.

Hey, bro.

Come here.

Check it out.

It's Lily.

Dude, that's our

f***ing niece.

So? She's hot.

You're a pervert.

I'm kidding, bro.

Here you go. I gotta go

pick up Lindsay.

Oh, you gotta go

pick up your girlfriend?

-Yeah.

-Are you p*ssy-whipped?

-Bye.

-Shonzi...

-Is that your boyfriend?

-No.

-Who is it, then?

-I called an uber.

Okay? So...

Hi. I'll just...

What's up, man?

Hey.

Hi, my name is Todd.

I'll be your uber driver.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I just didn't wanna

complicate things.

I didn't know how to...

I get it. It's fine.

So, what happened?

Oh, he's contesting it.

Why?

Just to be an a**hole.

I mean, it's gonna happen.

He just wants to

punish me for it.

I'm sorry, babe.

Thanks.

If you're gonna touch me,

I should probably

report you to the company.

Oh, please don't.

I already have

only three stars.

Oh.

I touch all my passengers.

Do you feel okay?

Yeah.

Do you want me to

flip over again or something?

No.

I don't think

i can finish.

Really? Are you sure?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, I just...

I think I wanna go

to the bathroom.

Okay.

Thanks.

Todd.

I know you're angry at me,

but please call me back

'cause I have

a really cool idea

for the film.

All right, I'm thinking

your character

wasn't really dead,

and then maybe

you end up with

Lindsay's character.

All right, would that

make you happy?

This is shonzi,

call me back.

Hey.

What did I tell you

about knocking?

I thought you were gonna

help me with that thing.

Dad, I quit, okay?

You quit. All right.

Then you quit

your allowance, too.

I don't care.

I'm gonna be

a famous film maker.

Don't hold your breath.

You better be nice

to me, all right?

Because when I'm

rich and famous,

and I got all these

girls around me,

you know, like,

at the premiere,

I'm gonna have, like,

three of them on me,

I can't make out

with everyone at once.

So,

if you're nice,

maybe I'll give you one.

Five minutes, all right?

Outside.

I'm not working for you.

Yes, you are.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, pizza.

Hi, justine.

Hi, Lindsay.

How are you?

Good! How's pizza doing?

Pretty good.

I just got her

a new wheelchair.

Yeah.

It's kinda rough,

but I think it's gonna be

really good in the end.

Hey, sorry,

i just need to get...

Um...

Um...

Are you masturbating?

Yeah.

Seeing if it still works.

What are you looking at?

This...

Just, come on.

This is just...

Oh, god!

I thought you deleted that.

It's, um...

It's on the cloud.

I mean, we just

talked about this.

I thought you understood

what that meant to me.

On the cloud?

Dig a hole that end.

Not unless you apologize.

Apologize for what?

For treating me like an idiot.

Are you gonna help me here?

Or are you not?

Not.

Jesus f***ing Christ...

You're gonna hurt yourself.

Call 911.

No, not unless you apologize.

Dad.

Dad.

Jesus Christ.

All right. Let me

get my phone.

Hi, Todd. It's Nina again.

So, um, dad is stable.

Do you mind

if I just check your iv again?

Uh, yeah.

Does that hurt?

Does it feel okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm all right.

Hey.

What's up?

Not much.

What's your name?

Sam.

Cool. Very cool.

You know, I noticed

you got some...

I really like your nails.

Oh, thanks.

I just got them done.

Yeah, they're really cool.

I was just gonna say that.

What the hell was that?

I just told her

her nails were cool.

Yeah. Well, you interrupted.

Shaun, please.

Shut the f*** up.

Okay.

Dad, it's not all about you.

I was just

leaving you a message.

-Sorry.

-It's all right. Hey.

-Hi. Lindsay.

-Hey.

Uh, how is he?

He's okay.

He's stable...

Well, well, well.

Look what the cat dragged in.

Shh, okay?

Keep your voice down, okay?

You know, I do about

100 push-ups a day.

Oh.

Wanna feel it?

No.

Oh,

so what are we

gonna do with him?

Oh god, shonzi.

Um, I'm super-crazed

right now,

with kids and work

and everything,

I cannot right now.

Could you take him?

Um. Well...

Mm-hm.

Yeah.

Thank you so much.

Why would i

go over to your house

if you don't want me there?

Hey. We want you there.

We were just talking about

inviting you over, anyway.

-Oh yeah?

-Yeah.

Why didn't you

call me back, then?

'Cause we were trying

to figure out which day

would be best

to have you over.

--Right, babe?

Remember?

Lindsay, is that true?

Actually, um, shonzi,

Todd is still upset

about what happened.

And I understand

him being upset...

I mean, it doesn't

excuse the fact that he

hit you...

But we should talk about

the fact that you're upset.

Why are you upset?

You are the one who hit me.

I don't know, maybe because

you were trying to

videotape us having sex.

I'm sorry, all right?

Can we just

get over this, already?

Wow. Great apology, buddy.

I really felt that one.

You know what?

I don't need this sh*t.

Tell me

when you're gone.

Dude...

Dude. Hey, dude.

Hey, I'm sorry

I hit you.

I was just

trying to help you.

I know you were just

trying to help.

I was in the wrong.

You were acting like a maniac.

I'm sorry.

What's up with you?

I was gonna give you the video.

-I know.

-Okay?

I'm, I'm...

I've been agitated

lately, okay?

So what's the problem?

I don't know, I think

I'm just depressed.

Or stressed out,

i don't know.

Talk to me, okay?

I'm your brother.

You got a big mouth.

All right, I will...

-Keep your mouth shut?

-Yes.

I promise

i won't say anything.

Okay.

I'm having

a hard time finishing.

During sex.

Yeah.

I can't finish.

-Okay. I'm coming over.

-Good.

We can get

to the bottom of this.

-All right?

-Okay, just...

Just don't do

anything weird.

I'm not, all right?

Can you say it?

Say it, "I'm not

gonna do anything weird."

I'm not gonna do

anything weird.

-I promise.

-Promise? Okay.

We're back!

Put your tongue

back in your mouth.

Why?

She's got your food

coming right now.

Seconds.

-Thank you.

-There you go.

Aha!

Wow.

This is literally

the finest cuisine

I've ever eaten.

Thank you, shonzi.

Whoa. Todd is a lucky guy.

Oh, well, he's not

so bad himself.

Well, I, for one,

cannot wait to go back

and see dad.

Are you worried about him?

Yeah, but I want to

talk to that nurse.

She was pretty

into me.

I'm not so sure she was.

She kept

playing with her hair

when I was

talking to her.

Sort of like, fidgeting.

-Body language.

-Right.

-Mm-hm.

-Body language.

It's a subconscious thing.

But the thing is, um,

you know, sometimes,

i play with my hair,

I do stuff like this,

but it's just to get it

out of my face.

Well, no. The...

The night we first kissed,

I knew something was

gonna happen with us, because,

you kept playing

with your hair.

- What?

-Oh...

No.

Maybe I'm wrong,

but I don't think I am.

Don't you guys see?

Like a woman is not even free

to touch her hair

without it being interpreted

as some sexual thing

by a man.

That's like, depressing.

You seem tense, Lindsay.

You want me

to give you a back rub?
