Maybe in his hairline.

Getting in?

What? Are you mad I didn't

tell you about them before?

No.

This is f***in' awesome.

You like it?

So, you have

any brothers or sisters?

That's too bad.

Beer.

So, do you guys have any

idea what happened?

You mean with our dads?

Yeah.

Alexis tried to

bring it up once, but...

-Yeah, that didn't go too well.

-We got threatened.

So we dropped it.

Dad said that if we tried to make

contact with you or your dad, then...

-Then what?

-Bad things.

Wait. You were at the store

today, weren't you?

-Yeah.

-Were you spying on us?

No! No.

Not... Not really.

Alexis stalked me

all over Boston.

Unemployed students have

time to do stuff like that.

F*** off, Amanda.

So, do you have

a girlfriend?

Any of you

have boyfriends?

So, what's she do?

She's a dancer at the

Charles Ballet of Boston.

She seems really nice.

She's pretty.

Wait, you met her?

Kinda.

So, how did you find me?

Well, I...

I saw your dad in one

of my psych textbooks,

and then,

I googled him,

and I saw that you went

to Yale, and then I...

Well, I found your

restaurant online, and so...

She's a stalker.

Look at that.

So you went to Yale?

Yeah, for psychology.

So what do you do now?

I'm a chef.

So mostly, I just

disappoint my parents.

Yeah, they're not too happy

about that decision.

Are you a sous chef?

I'm a head chef.

That must be

a powerful position.

In the kitchen.

Not in life, really.

God, Alexis,

we're in public.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

It's just that I find it...

It's really sad, you know?

What is?

That we didn't

grow up together.

Alexis, you haven't had

that much to drink...

-Yes, she has.

-Maybe she should stop.

I'm not drunk, okay?

We apologize.

She is drunk.

It's okay.

Sh*t.

My gosh.

Look who it is.

-Who's he?

-Annie used to f*** him.

You used to f*** that guy?

Off and on.

I thought we were dating,

but then...

On the Fourth of July, I

accidentally went down on him.

Accidentally?

How do you accidentally...

No. Never mind. That's

happened to me too.

I am still pissed at you, Alexis.

I really liked him.

I didn't even know

you guys were...

And-And you are

way better off anyway.

It is a small town, which increases the

odds of something like that occurring.

-What?

-What?

I f***ed him too.

Just once, okay?

You knew about this?

That's a lot

of coincidences.

I...

No, Amanda,

give me your purse.

-Why?

-Just give her your purse.

I'm gonna fix this.

I'm really sorry.

I'm gonna make it up to you.

I love you.

Where the f***

are you going?

She has a knife.

Come on.

-Hey, Teddy.

-Hey.

How are you?

What do you want,

Alexis?

You're looking so good.

F*** off.

Honey,

you got something...

What the...

-What the f***!

-Easy.

F***ing whore!

My... Go, go, go, fast! Go fast!

Come here!

What the hell was that?

That was amazing

is what it was!

-Have you ever punched anyone before?

-No!

Why, did it look

like I had?

No!

This is for you.

Let's get the f*** out of here!

Now, be super f***ing quiet

because Mom sleeps light.

Wait, where are they?

Don't worry. This is our space.

They never come down here.

Do you not wanna stay?

I just don't wanna

meet them yet.

Well, you know, we could set you an

alarm and get you out of here early.

Yeah.

-Good night.

-Yeah.

Good night.

-Good night.

-Good night.

You can take my bed.

-I'll just...

-That's where you sleep?

Yeah.!

Where will you go?

On the floor.

No. No, I'll stay on...

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah.

Thank you.

As you can see,

it's kinda hard to

bring guys back here.

Because of your parents?

No, they don't care. It's just

a small space for three girls.

Why not move out?

Don't let the farm fool you.

We're pretty broke.

So you date a lot?

No.

I mean, I try.

I just... I have shitty luck.

I pick

all the wrong ones.

Like that guy in the bar?

That's not shitty luck.

That's shitty taste.

Yeah, well, there aren't

many options up here.

Well, from now on, every guy you

date has to be approved by me.

That's sweet.

Hey, Davis?

I decided

I like you now.

I like you too.

That can't be comfortable.

It's not really.

Mom.

Th...

This is...

John.

Well, breakfast will

be ready shortly, John.

Thank you,

but I...

We have

only one rule here.

If you can't bring a guy

to the table,

you probably shouldn't

be sleeping with him.

That's not a rule.

Well, it should be.

And we're not...

Right.

I'll see you upstairs.

So much for your sisters

waking us up early.

Yeah, I bet

they overslept too.

How are we

gonna do this?

Well, my mom

didn't recognize you.

What about your dad?

Let's just say

you're my boyfriend.

Dad, this is Jonathan.

We're dating.

Hi, Jonathan.

What happened

to the last guy?

Dad shot him.

You're not a vegetarian,

are you?

-No.

-Good. Keep cutting.

So, Jonathan,

how did you two meet?

He was my TA.

Yeah? For what class?

Developmental Psych.

You want some eggs?

Sure.

I'm sorry.

We're out of bacon.

Amanda, go kill another pig

after breakfast.

-I can't do it today. Make Alexis do it.

-Gross.

I have to work two jobs and now this?

Yeah, that's fair.

I'm not doing it.

Annie, you do it.

-I have to open the store.

-Fine.

Jonathan and I

will do it.

I'm sorry?

I'm stuck out here in the

woods with four women.

First time a guy's

been around in a while.

I don't know

how much help I would be.

Well, you're f***ing

my daughter.

The least you can do is keep me

some company while I kill a pig.

Joshua.

Dad!

Are the pigs

back there?

No. Pigs stink like sh*t. We

don't keep them near the house.

Get in.

Just so you know, sir,

I would never even think about

sleeping with your daughter.

Now, that sounds

like an insult.

No. I mean, I would.

I'm just not.

What does that do?

Kills the pig on contact. This

way you don't have to bleed it.

Very little suffering.

Very humane.

What now? We just go

in there and zap one?

I'll tell you what now.

Stop f***ing with me!

Yes, sir.

He send you here

to spy on me?

Who?

Don't insult

my intelligence, man.

I know you're

my brother's son.

Actually, your daughters

said I look a bit like you...

when you were younger.

I don't see it.

So did you go to college?

Yeah. Why do you ask?

Just curious...

if maybe you'd also

studied psychology.

I studied philosophy.

Did you go to Yale too?

No way.

F*** that place.

I went to Harvard.

Sorry I didn't get

to see you grow up.

It's all right.

So, what now?

Nothing.

Have a good life.

That's it?

You don't want to see him?

Nope.

-Why not?

-Plenty of reasons.

Give me one.

Because he doesn't

want to see me.

You guys are brothers. What

could have possibly happened?

Why the f*** do you think

I'd tell you that?

What we have between us,

it's unresolvable.

If I knew what happened,

would I hate you?

It was nice

to meet you, Davis.

Wh... Where are you going?

I need you to drive me

back to my car.

Why?

He knew who I was, Alexis,
