Is there something we could do?

Something we should do?

You can wait.

There's a waiting room down the hall.

There's smoking out on the porch,

if you want to smoke.

He may be waking up soon.

You'll wanna be here when he does.

Yeah, well, uh, listen, how -

how long you think it'll - it'll be?

You never know with these things. I just

want you to do whatever makes you comfortable.

- Come on, come on, come on.!

- [Shouting, Chattering]

- You made it.

- [Jerry] Yeah.!

I hope you don't have to

put too much chlorine in.

It's bad for my voice.

The pool's around the back.

[Chattering Continues]

Jonathan, that's you, babe.!

Go up, go up.!

- Right here, right here, right here.!

- Zoe!

[Jerry]

Excuse me.

Um, see how that bruise is-is-

it's intense,

but it's not glowing.

So you'll wanna work on that.

Let's take a look at yours.

This is good. I like that. Yeah.

The bruise is really good.

Um... [Clears Throat] I want you to

put a little bit more blood in there.

Oh, on the - on the, uh - on -

Yeah, blend off that one edge.

- And take the brush out of your mouth.

- Sorry.

Filter? What's the filter

got to do with it?

Well, if your filter ain't workin', and I don't

think it is, there's not much I can do.

How dangerous is this malathion?

Well - How long

have you had this system?

Came with the house.

Yeah? Well, I hate to be the one to tell you,

but I think it's on its last legs.

Oh, no. Don't tell me.

- So, Ace, what's up tonight?

- I don't know. What do you wanna do?

I mean, with Mom.

Is she celebrating her birthday alone, or what?

Uh, with Gene.

- Jean, huh?

- Mm-hmm.

Jean.

Jean.

Well, who's she?

He's a friend of Mommy's.

[TV:
Man]

What do we do now?

[Siren Wailing]

[Sighs]

[Police Radio:

Dispatcher Speaking, Indistinct]

May I see your license

and registration, ma'am?

Did I do something wrong, Officer?

Take your sunglasses off, ma'am.

You know, this clown is detachable.

I, um - I have a permit for it.

It's to code. I've been stopped before.

There's never been a problem.

- Phone number, ma'am?

- - .

I'm gonna let you go

with a warning this time, ma'am.

You were driving too slow.

Just as dangerous as driving too fast.

Please refrain from doing so

in the future.

Can I go now?

No, ma'am.

I have one more question.

What's that?

How many clowns

can you fit in this car?

I beg your pardon.

How many clowns

can you fit in this car, ma'am?

Why'd you take my phone number?

Well, you never know when you might

need the services of a clown, ma'am.

- You have children?

- No, ma'am.

I, uh - I can use some cheering up

from time to time myself, ma'am.

Being a cop isn't easy.

You have a nice day now.

If there's anything I like more

than being mean...

it's being sneaky.

[Creature Shrieks]

[TV:
Boy]

It's a trap.!

- [TV:
Man] Of course it's a trap.!

- Gene?

- Is that you?

- [TV:
Man] Affirmative.!

With the Planeteers out of our way-

Chad left the TV on.

[TV:
Cow Mooing]

[TV:
Announcer] Man dares to go

where only cows have gone before.

[Woman Announcer]

Bandini is the word for fertilizer.

Oh, my God! [Gasps]

Chad, what are you doing here?

- Where's your dad?

- He had to go somewhere.

He had to go somewhere without you?

He said he had to do something.

- Something came up.

- Yeah.

I'll bet it did.

I'll bet something came up.

So, what'd he say about you?

He said we'll have to do it

some other time.

Hey.

He's a son of a b*tch.

He's a son of a b*tch.

- [Stuart] Now?

- [Gordon] Bring in the -

- [Phone Ringing]

- [Dog Barking]

Jerry Kaiser.

- [Man Whispering] Hey, buddy, it's me.

- Hey.

Listen, I'm walking around

with a f***in' serious chubby.

Listen to what's going on.

There's this girl at school here -

She's she's got a body to kill for,

beautiful face, and she asked me...

- Why are you whispering?

- To do her body makeup for this -

I'm not whispering. I'm just -

I'm - I'm throaty. I'm excited.

So I gotta do full-body makeup on her.

That takes an hour.

That means I'm rubbing base

up and down the insides of her thighs...

like, right around her puddy...

and I'm just like, "Oh, man!"
