The Joneses Page #6

Straight back with the butt

out a little bit.

Butt out?

Very nice.

Okay.

Well, the hair. I'm just-

Okay, go ahead.

l-l got it.

Go.

What does icon mean?

Oh! Whoa!

[ Thunk ]

[ Recorded Groan ]

That's a no-no.

I spoke on your backswing.

- Where did you hear that?

- KC said something about it.

Exactly what did she say?

She said something

about making icon status

or something like that.

Do you know

what that means?

No.

lt's the top tier

of the family cells.

l mean, we'll be bringing

high-end goods to market first.

Lifelmage is gonna be

looking for our input...

before proceeding

with any products.

You and me. Do you know

how long that l have been

working towards this?

Oh, my God.

Oh, wow. That's-

Oh. l'm sorry.

That's okay.

[ Club Falls To Ground ]

Geez. I should say

"icon" more often.

[ Jenn ]

I love boats.

I just wanna...

go away

with you forever.

We could sail

the Mediterranean.

You wouldn't believe

how beautiful it is.

Mmm.

l can imagine.

Where are the Bayners?

Are they... habitually late?

l have a confession

to make.

Um,

l don't think they're

gonna make it tonight.

Alex is actually

working late and-

Really?

Yeah.

- So it's just me and you?

- Yep.

l mean, l was

thinking that, uh,

l really wanted to treat you

and just say thank you...

for all your hard work

and your improvement and-

But l am okay if you want to-

No, no.

l will suffer through it.

l appreciate that.

ls-ls this technically a date?

Well, you could say that.

l mean, we are out in public,

and people can see us.

So would it be inappropriate

if I were to reach over...

and tuck your hair

behind your ear like that?

Would that be something

that was acceptable

on a night like this?

l suppose

that would be okay.

And what about

if I told you...

that you look beautiful

this evening?

Would that be-

l-l-

Would that be-

No. I-I would be, um-

l'd be okay

with that tonight.

Okay.

And l might even...

go so far as

to tell you that...

when you want to,

you can be quite handsome...

and extremely charming.

- Well, l want to.

- Okay.

[ Hip-hop ]

[ All Chanting ]

[ Cheering ]

[ Boy ]

Something to drink!

- Nice. Hey, hey!

- Hey!

Another round?

Another round.

Oh, my goodness.

We are out of control.

This sh*t is good.

lt's delicious.

I told you.

l gotta pee.

You go pee.

You'll be all right.

Okay, l'll be back.

We'll save your place.

We'll save your spot.

Hey, you want one?

No, I'm good, man.

I don't drink.

You sure?

Yeah, yeah.

Thanks though.

ey, is that-

is that your TT outside?

lt is.

[ Exhales ] Man, I gotta

check that thing out, dude.

Let's go.

Let's go.

[ Engine Starts ]

Open her up.

Let's go.

Go, go, go!

[ Revving Engine ]

Whoo!

Mick?

Are you serious?

[ Engine Starts ]

You ever get tired

of the imaginary stuff?

You want a real...

house and kids

and... husband?

I'll have that someday.

Yeah?

Sure.

When?

Well, I think when l'm-

when I'm ready.

As a matter of fact,

I actually think that

I am a lot like you.

How's that?

l think there's a life l was living

that I didn't want.

And until I can figure out

exactly what I want,

l think this substitute life is,

um, is not so bad.

l get it.

o icon.

lcon.

l just like saying it.

Icon. Icon.

lcon, icon, icon.

Does it have an effect

on you in any way?

Yeah! Whoo!

That's it. Open it up.

Here we go.

[ Laughs ]

What'd I tell you-

This thing's awesome!

Go, go, go.

Make this light.

Make this light.

My baby.

I could get used to this, man.

Absolutely.

Appreciate it.

Yeah, no problem.

That was great.

You're pretty cool, Mick.

hanks.

Yeah.

So, uh, anyone home?

- No, my parents

are out of town.

- Yeah.

What a night, man.

- What the hell, man?

- I'm sorry. I just thought-

Get the f*** away from me!

You son of a f***ing b*tch!

B*tch.

F***!

Listen, man. l didn't-

F*** you!

Shut the f*** up,

you f*ggot!

I thought you

were down for it.

F***ing-

Maybe we should

stay in tonight.

This doesn't make sense.

lt just keeps saying that all

of our cards are unbalanced.

You did make the payments,

didn't you?

l'm sure it's just a mistake.

I'll straighten it out.

These cards

are my foundation, Larry.

I need them for the gala.

l've got stuff to pay for.

How am I supposed to do that?

The linens,

the bartenders, the gazebo.

All right. l'll take care of it.

Don't worry. Don't worry.

Don't worry?

Larry, you did not make

the house payment last month.

Why would you tell me

that I don't need to worry?

Seriously,

you gotta fix this today.

Do you understand me?

- Mr. Jones?

- Yes.

l'm Detective Gardner,

Third Precinct.

I'd like to have

a word with you.

Oh. Well, okay.

lt seems like

there was a party

near here last night...

where some alcohol

was being served to minors.

Now, some of the kids said

that your son Mick

brought the alcohol.

Oh, no, no. That's-

That's impossible.

ls everything all right?

You know a young lady

by the name of Naomi Madsen?

Yeah, she's a friend

of our son's.

She left the party drunk

and got in a car accident.

Oh, my God.

Oh, sh*t.

ls she okay?

She'll be all right.

Could have been worse.

Right now,

l'm concerned about where

that alcohol came from.

ls your son home?

Uh, no. He left

about half an hour ago.

But l-l could try him

on his cell.

- [ Gardner ] Please.

- Thank you, honey.

ls that a cop?

Yes, it is.

What happened

to your face?

It's nothing.

What's going on out there?

We're trying

to save your ass.

So why don't you

just get upstairs

and stay out of sight?

What?

[ Gardner ]

From father to father,

I trust you're gonna

deal with your son

appropriately, right?

Ooh, l'm gonna deal

with him appropriately.

[ Chuckling ] Okay.

I just got his voice mail.

But, um, he's very good about

checking in, so I'm sure

we'll hear from him.

Just to let you know,

these cases often result...

in some sort

of civil liability.

You may want

to be prepared.

Thank you for the tip.

Yeah.

Sir.

Appreciate that.

Yeah.

Nice meeting you.

Detective.

Thank you.

[ Car Door Opens ]

[ Door Closes ]

What are we supposed to do now?

as anything like this

ever happened before?

So what's going on?

Naomi Madsen's

in the hospital.

She got drunk and got

into an accident.

Is she okay?

lt sounds like

she's gonna be okay.

- l want all of that punch

out of here immediately.

- Don't worry. It's gone.

l can't believe

you gave it to minors.

- lt's my job. Who do you

think drinks that stuff?

- That's not the point.

Weren't you with her

at the party?

You must have seen

she couldn't drive.

Why didn't you take her home?

- l didn't know

she was that drunk.

- Some friend you are.

Shut up, Jenn.

I wasn't even there.

Then where were you?

I took a ride.

Oh, so you were

driving drunk as well.

- No. Tim drove.

- Who's Tim?

- Tim.

- Isn't that Naomi's brother?

So you both left her?

Why would you do
