Sunshine Cleaning Page #5

...that we've been doing-

It's not-

Let's not do that.

I don't want this anymore.

So that's it.

That's it then.

Brown or flowery?

Brown.

- Sure?

- Mm-hmm.

All right, good call.

Okay, go get your stuff together,

please.

Okay.

- Thank you.

- (phone ringing)

Sunshine Cleaning.

Hello, this is Henry Schmeer,

State Farm.

State Farm. Oh, State Farm. Hi.

- I spoke with you about a month ago.

- Yeah, what can I do for you?

We've got a house we need to turn around

and our regular guys

are busy in Santa Fe today.

I thought I'd give you a call.

Today?

The house on 60 Howard Avenue

in Antelope Springs.

All right. All right, thank you.

Bye-bye.

Sh*t.

Blow off the shower.

I can't blow it off. I RSVP'd.

- Just tell them we can't do it, Rose.

- This is an insurance company, Norah.

They can throw us a ton of business.

This is our in.

Yes, it's our in.

So don't go to the damn baby shower.

Norah, these are my old buddies

from high school.

It's really important to me.

Just go and get it started

and I promise I will come

and help you finish it up, okay?

- Fine. Fine.

- Thanks.

- Oh, pee-yew.

- Stay out here.

- But why do I always...?

- Because I said so. Stay here.

Dad.

Daddy.

Sh*t. Dad.

Oh, sh*t.

Damn it, you scared

the sh*t out of me.

I'm busy here.

Dad, what are you doing?

The goddamn restaurant bastards

wouldn't buy my shrimp,

giving me this crap about

the Board of Health or some bullshit.

They shut me out.

They just shut me out.

They got some kind of goddamn

restaurant syndicate, I'm sure of it.

Dad, I need you

to watch Oscar today.

- I can't.

- Why?

I can't. I'm busy today.

Dad, come on, I'm kind of

in a bind right now.

Yeah, well, it's tough bringing up a kid

by yourself, isn't it?

Try two.

I'm over here.

Hi.

Hi. I was wondering

if Oscar could hang out here with you

for a while.

I don't-

See, I have this baby shower thing

and Norah has a job

and my dad is incapacitated.

So would that be okay?

Yeah, sure. Yeah.

You are a lifesaver.

You did your hair different.

Yeah, I did.

Do you like it?

It's, you know.

Yeah, I do.

- All right, you be good, okay?

- Okay.

You be good.

And I will be back

as soon as I'm done

with everything.

Okay. You good? You okay?

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

You'll do good, Rose. Okay.

All right. A Porsche. Great.

Hi, it's good to see you.

Everybody is here. Fantastic.

Hello, everybody.

So, Rose, how are you doing?

Are you still cleaning houses?

No, that was just a temporary thing.

Rose has gone into real estate.

Really?

Actually, I own my own business.

Oh, what kind?

Is it a real estate business?

No, it's a biohazard removal

and crime-scene cleanup service.

It's a real growth niche industry.

It's highly competitive and technical.

And what is that exactly.

A biohazard removal whatever?

Well, a lot of times

when people die,

it can be kind of messy, you know.

So what we do is, we go in

and we clean up the mess

and make sure that everything

is clean and sanitary.

'Cause people don't realize

the safety risks

involved with the removal

of blood and body fluid.

I cannot imagine.

You like doing it?

Yeah.

I do.

Um, we come into people's lives

when they have experienced

something profound and sad.

They've lost somebody, you know?

And the circumstances,

they're always different,

but that's the same.

And we help.

In some small way, we-

we help.

What's that?

That is a propeller.

And when I'm done prepping this wing,

it will go on the end.

Like that?

Yeah.

It doesn't fly.

Right, like my helicopter.

Must be hard to build models

with just one hand.

It is.

Yeah.

No no no no no.

Come on, kitty.

Here, kitty kitty kitty.

Good kitty. Good kitty.

Come on.

Aww, did you get left behind?

You are the sweetest thing.

You are the cutest thing ever.

Did you get left behind,

little kitty kitty kitty?

Oh, sh*t. Um, uh...

Sh*t.

Okay, can you stay there?

Oh my God.

Come on.

F***. F***.

F***.

Oh, please, help!

No, God damn it!

I've taken five different

chocolate bars

and melted them

in these diapers.

You can taste, look and smell.

And the first to guess

all five correctly, wins.

Crunchy.

Crunchy poop.

Um, Paula,

I'm sorry, I need to go.

There's somewhere

that I need to be.

No, you can't leave now.

We're just starting to play the games.

Yeah, well,

yeah.

Oh, no.

Norah!

Norah!

F***. Norah.

Norah,

what happened?

- It was an accident.

- You did this.

- It was an accident.

- Oh my God.

It was an accident, Rose.

Oh my God.

Norah, what the f*** happened?

Norah, come out here.

Get out of this car.

- Rose, calm down.

- I have to deal with this by myself.

No, I am not going to calm down.

F***.

- It was an accident.

- Oh my God.

Winston. Winston.

- Sorry.

- Hey, Rose. Are you okay?

Just everything is really

horrible right now, you know?

Oscar is asleep in the back.

Okay, good. Good.

Norah ruined everything.

She burned down a house.

A house! She burned down

a client's house.

Yeah.

How do you know?

Carl told me.

How does he know?

It's his job.

It's what he does.

We burned down a client's house.

How do you get around that?

Insurance.

Oh. See, I thought I would get

a better rate once I was certified.

There's not a lot that I'm good at.

I'm good at getting guys

to want me.

Not date me or marry me,

but want me.

I am good at that.

And...

and cheering.

I was really good at cheering.

Cheering is good.

Yeah, but it's not as marketable

as you'd think.

- Hey, Dad.

- Hi.

Do you mind keeping an eye

on Oscar for a while?

Yeah, sure.

I just gotta go get a couple

of my shifts back.

Don't go back to being a maid.

It's not a good job for you.

Dad, I need a job.

I owe, like, $40,000 on that house,

and that's on top of everything else.

So I just-

Yeah, well, you're not gonna earn

$40,000 by cleaning houses.

I'll figure out something to do.

I will.

Can I make a sandwich?

Yeah, go ahead.

You know where everything is.

Go make up with your sister.

She's your sister.

Go make up with her.

Dad, please.

What's this?

Just open it.

Why do you have my mom's ID?

I found it

at work.

Me and Rose did a job

a while back,

and there was a woman

who had-

look, we're supposed

to throw everything away,

but I mean, she kept

these pictures of you and I-

This is her fanny pack?

I couldn't throw them away.

You were following me that day.

I should have told you.

I know that.

And I, so stupid,

I just got scared and I...

I didn't know what the situation was

between you and your mom.

I don't know what went on.

But I just thought that of everybody,

that I would understand.

You would understand?

My mom was a pathetic drunk.

I'm an idiot.

I actually thought

that you were interested in me.

I just wanted

to do the right thing.

- Please don't.

- Don't call me.

- You got that?

- Yeah, it's light.

I'm sure I'll be able

to turn this around pretty quick.
