Would we?
Okay.
You know what? I don't
want to have a party here.
You need to cancel it.
No, I'm not.
I already paid for the catering.
I've put down deposits.
And I sure as f*** am not gonna
call everybody back in two days
when you change your mind.
Your girlfriend is not ugly.
Actually, Larry, she's
not my girlfriend. She's just a...
It's cool, buddy. You don't have
to explain your girlfriend to me.
Can you please stop
licking your fingers?
Do you know how many
germs are on your hands?
And you're putting
them into your mouth.
That's gross. Stop.
Stop it!
I'm gonna kill you!
Hey! Sadie,
enough, all right?
She isn't hurting anyone.
You want to say something,
just keep your mouth shut.
You have never been nice to her
and now she's getting
aggressive with you.
I told you this would happen.
I'm sick of everybody fighting.
What do you think you're gonna
be like when you grow up?
I don't know. Um...
I don't know.
Do you think you want kids?
Mm-hmm. Just one.
Just one, why?
Because if I have two, then the other
will fight with the other one.
Does it make you
sad when you fight?
Mm-hmm. I don't want
anyone to fight.
I love you.
Why isn't anybody talking?
Why is it so quiet?
It's the Sounds of Silence.
Will you stop, Dad?
How many of those
are you gonna eat?
As many as I want.
I'm gonna tell Mom on you.
Try it. See what
you get for Christmas.
Nothing.
Snitches wind up in ditches.
Remember that.
Hey, Peter.
Hi.
Hiya.
All right. See you.
Have a good one.
Peter.
Peter!
Hi.
Catherine.
I'm Joseph's mother.
Oh, right. No, I know.
Hi, Catherine.
Our kids have gone to school
together for eight years.
Sorry.
Hello, Joseph.
I hear our kids have
been chatting online.
Yeah? I heard that your wife
has been screaming at my son.
And I don't appreciate it.
Excuse me?
She screamed at my son.
Right? She threatened you. She screamed at you.
She cursed at him.
He's 13 years old,
for God's sake.
What the hell is
the matter with her?
Okay, you better check
her meds and get 'em right.
Okay, you know what? Why
don't you back the f*** off?
Because that's my lovely, sweet
wife you're talking about.
Oh, I need to back off?
Yeah, you need to back off.
Because your kid is an animal.
He's a f***ing animal.
Why don't you
put him on a leash?
Turn around,
turn around, turn around!
If he insults my
daughter again,
I'm gonna hit him
with my f***ing car.
Got it?
In fact, if you insult my wife
again, you know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna show up at your
house when you're sleeping
and I'll take your iPad
or your iPod or your iMac
and I'll shove them
up your f***ing iCunt.
I got nothing to lose.
Your kid is the problem.
My kid is a f***ing angel.
Turn around.
I don't have
time for this sh*t.
So I'm keeping it together, but if
I wasn't at school right now...
Touch my... Touch me?
I didn't touch your...
I didn't. I didn't. I got
right below your shoulder.
You got right here. You actually...
He hit my nipple.
You what?
You're insane.
Why would you do that? Did you
just touch my mom's nipple?
He just touched my nipple.
Why would you do that to me?
I poked you on the shoulder.
I have very high nipples.
I touched your shirt.
What do you think
is under my shirt?
I just... My breasts
are under my shirt.
Your shoulder. Your shoulder.
He just touched my breast.
Well, that's a funny place to
put a shoulder, on my boob.
Hello? There are
children around.
This isn't over. This is not over.
You're gonna be sorry.
Let's go.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
And why the f***
would you believe Desi?
You just admitted it.
Did I?
You stole $12,000 from me, Jodi,
and I need you to pay me back.
Could you at least
give me a referral?
You babysat my kids
while you were on OxyContin.
Oxycodone.
Well, oxycodone.
Oxycotton.
OxyContin?
Oxykitten.
What's Oxykitten?
Meow.
Jodi, you put me in danger.
Me and my family.
It was a cry for help.
Help. Help.
Why don't you help me?
Why don't you help me?
Just help.
Just help.
You didn't help me.
Are you high right now?
Help me.
Is that about me?
Is that the cops?
Is this a set-up?
I need to go.
Okay, see you later.
F*** you, Debbie.
F*** you.
Could you see it in your heart
to lend me some money?
I would love to lend you money, but...
Thank you.
I mean, there's no way I could.
Why?
I just wouldn't wanna
jeopardize a relationship
with somebody that I care
about by giving them money.
I mean, look how far we've come
that you could come to me for advice
and be able to ask me to borrow money.
Let me ask you a question. Who do
you like better Simon or Garfunkel?
Garfunkel.
Really? Garfunkel?
Yeah, he's got
the voice of an angel.
He's got a great voice, but what about Simon?
He wrote the songs.
Who cares? Everybody writes songs.
How many singers are there?
Simon's a good singer, too. Art
Garfunkel is a choir all in one man.
Have you ever hear Paul Simon
sing Bridge Over Troubled Water
in concert by himself? It's a nightmare.
It's like nails on a chalkboard.
wrong about everything?
Definitely. Of course.
Absolutely.
Joseph was very upset when
So I thought it
was important that we
join together and
work this through.
Absolutely.
but Debbie told my son that
he looked like Tom Petty,
in a negative way.
Who's Tom Petty? You
know who Tom Petty is.
And she said that if she had to
come back that she was going to...
"F" up his p*ssy-ass,
which is what she said.
Oh, my...
Are you serious?
I didn't. I would never.
To a child?
Your son has been defiling my daughter's
Facebook page now for months.
These people are liars.
He said that my
son was an animal
and that if I didn't
keep him on a leash,
that he would hit
him with his car.
Did you say that?
That's ridiculous.
Who talks like that?
You do.
He didn't say that.
He said it to me.
No. What I said was that we need
to keep an extra eye on our kids
because with all
the technological advances,
they need to learn to
use them responsibly.
No. What he said to me was...
He called me an iCunt.
A what? Language, Catherine!
Language.
I'm quoting!
How am I gonna relay
what these two nutballs
said to me, unless I say it?
Can you please not
talk like that, Catherine?
Music Man is
rehearsing next door.
Sorry, f***ing Music Man.
Maybe if I looked more like
this fake bullshit couple.
Looks like they're
in a bank commercial.
That's what you look like.
Like you're a bullshit
bank commercial couple.
None of this
talk is productive.
I would like to rear up
and jackknife my legs
and kick you both in the
f***ing jaw with my foot bone.
You're just really scaring me.
This is what happens
when you corner a rat.
You corner me, I will
f***ing chew through you.
I'll chew through you.
Catherine,
