Youth in Oregon Page #4

I was hard as a rock!

I could make that woman bloom

without even dipping my stem in.

Honey, honey, keep it down.

Here's your Mayo.

Okay, here we go.

You remember the summer

that we bought the cabin

and you sent the kids

to your father?

You couldn't keep your hands

off me, could you?

No, Raymond, I couldn't,

but I don't know if Brian

- is really interested...

- We did it every day.

- Every single day.

- Ray?

We did it until the tanagers

started chirping.

Take these pills, please.

And stop bragging.

And this woman

is 12 years my junior.

And I could still get it up!

All I'm saying ray,

is that I think that...

That there are other options.

Besides what?

This trip.

Nobody wants this, ray.

She forgot my dressing,

so I'll be back in a minute.

Do you have any idea how much

this is upsetting your daughter?

Yeah.

Then where the hell is she?

Well, she does have

obligations as a parent.

Bullshit! You all gave up

on me a long time ago!

I'm outta here.

- What happened?

- He's outta here.

What do you mean

he's outta here?

Where's he going?

Raymond?

What are you doing?

Raymond?!

Ray. Ray, where are

you going?!

Don't act like

you can't hear me!

- Where are you going?

- Ray, come on back to the car!

What, you think you're gonna

hitchhike to Oregon?

You hate hitchhikers!

You always have!

You don't even have your pills

or anything else

you need with you.

Come on, let's go back...

You're acting like

a spoiled brat child!

You're a grown man

for Pete's sake.

Hey, honey.

Just calling to check in.

Reminiscing a little bit

about Nick's campus tour.

We're taking the same route.

We're in Illinois.

Now.

Looks the same.

Uh... everything's fine here.

I think we're gonna be home

sooner than expected.

I just think they are...

Running out of gas on this one.

Stop it!

You're hurting me!

Anyway...

Love you.

- Hey, mom?

- Hey, honey.

- Can I talk to you for a sec?

- Sure.

Before you get mad,

can you just hear him out?

Hear who out, honey?

Oh, god.

I thought you weren't

talking to him anymore.

Well, Colt has something

he wants to say to you.

I'm really sorry

about what happened.

With the pictures...

Yeah. I know what

you're referring to.

Look, I never showed them

to anybody.

Skyler Dudley found them

on my phone and sent them out.

- Oh, Skyler Dudley did it, huh?

- Mom, he swears.

Don't worry,

I already beat his ass.

Then it looks like you've

taken care of everything.

So you can go home now.

Thank you for stopping by.

- Mom!

- What, Annie?

You said not to give up

on something that I love!

I was talking about cheering.

Get him out of my house!

This shirt is itchy.

Do you want me

to turn the air on?

Do what you want.

I don't give a sh*t.

Hey, if you're tired,

let's stop and get a motel.

No, no, no, no.

I've made a reservation...

For two separate rooms

at a nice bed and breakfast

in Iowa city.

We're gonna get there,

we're gonna have a nice

long conversation

about all of this.

I don't need to have

another conversation.

We need to get to Oregon.

Okay, if you're going to insist

on continuing to drive,

not everyone in this car

has a death wish.

Here.

What is this?

It'll help keep you focused

and alert.

It's fine.

I'm a nurse, don't forget.

In fact, I'm gonna have

a little smidge of one myself,

and I'll keep you company.

It'll be fine.

It's nothing.

I'm just gonna have

a little, tiny... mmm.

Just a touch.

Just a tad.

I just took the whole thing.

That's fine.

You're driving.

You need to be... sharp.

Shut the f***ing music off!

Here, just put these in.

Ooh...

Let me know if you see

any animals or something.

Okay.

I mean, not to look at,

but to avoid.

- I'm watching.

- Okay.

- Is there a storm coming?

- I don't know, but what...

- Because the clouds are rolling.

- Yeah, they are.

Oh, man.

There is a bird aviary

near here.

Oh, no way.

Way.

Where?

Highway 80.

- Along highway 80?

- The old Lincoln highway.

You think

that's Abraham Lincoln?

Could be. Could be.

Maybe Mary Todd.

I like her, but I don't think

they did that back then.

Oh, deer! Deer! Deer!

Deer! Deer!

Deer! Deer! Deer!

Deer! Deer!

Well, be careful.

Don't crash us.

Never mind, it's a tree.

Okay, I'm...

I'm just gonna, um...

Put my little head down,

just for a minute.

Okie-dokie.

Not tired at all.

- We're here!

- Where?

Little surprise for you guys.

Look, honey,

it's the bird sanctuary!

- Wow.

- What is this?

It says it opens at sunrise.

Well, it doesn't look open.

Honey, look.

Maybe it's not bird season.

Hold on.

Watch out.

- What are you doing?

Brian, don't hurt yourself.

What happened

to the bed and breakfast?

Couldn't sleep.

Drove all the way here.

Watch out.

Whoa, first try.

The sanctuary is open.

Will we get arrested?

So, we could possibly

see the rosy Finch,

the western wood peewee,

the Willow flycatcher.

Oh, you're gonna like this one,

the horned lark.

Whoo! If I was a bird I would

want to come here, Estelle.

I know!

This is...

Just what we needed.

- It's just what we needed.

- You think he likes it?

I do.

You know he's cranky.

But I think he does like it.

It's really beautiful!

Isn't this great?!

We don't have any binoculars.

We don't need binoculars.

We're just gonna use our eyes.

I can't see anything

without binoculars.

Well, we're in here now.

Let's just enjoy ourselves.

It's beautiful.

Let's close our eyes,

and just listen for the birds.

Ooh...

Are you okay?

Mm? Mm-hmm.

All right, so we missed

the gazebo back here.

So everybody come this way.

We want to see the rosy finches.

Come on.

I'm gonna stand still

for a second.

You find something, ray?

I'm gonna find my dick

and take a piss.

We don't have time for this.

Hey, honey.

Hi, how's it going?

Where are you?

We are at

the Wallick aviary sanctuary.

What?

Where's that?

It is in...

Cheyenne, Wyoming.

In Wyoming?

Are you serious?

Yeah, I guess you can cover

a lot of ground

if you drive through the night.

- How did that even happen?

- Well, it was for the birds.

For the birds?

What are you talking about?

It's a bird sanctuary...

Yep. Yep.

Sandpiper.

That's a stilt, maybe upland.

Did you fill Annie's focalin

when you picked up my dad's

scrip the other day?

I filled whatever prescription

you gave me, why?

Well, she's out again.

So, either we forgot

to pick up the scrip

or she's taking more

than she should.

What do the pills look like?

I don't know, honey.

They're a pill.

It's a blue pill.

Oh sh*t!

I'll call you back!

What was that?!

Oh, sh*t.

- Ray, are you okay?

- No, don't touch me.

No, no. I just want

to help you up, buddy...

Let go of me!

What's going on?

Nothing! Nothing, Estelle!

It's fine! We're okay!

Okay, well hurry up!

I'll meet you at the gazebo!

I'm sorry, I didn't...

Here.

You can...

Cover up the...

- It's because I fell.

- I know.

That function still works.

Well, see? There.
