"Good luck with the job and don't eat while you're driving." "And no more hitchhikers, right?" "Hey." "You okay?" "That's good." "What about your classes, honey?" "You can't just take off." "Can you call the school or Paul?" "It's just not great timing." "Have I ever missed a class in seven years?" "No, [kiss] Why do you always have to deal, huh?" "Why can't Ida deal with something for once?" "Ida is nowhere near here." "She's on her way to a shoot, a paid one." "A paid shoot, that would be a slight change." "So are you gonna be long?"

"I don't live here." "You moved?" "About a month ago." "Then what...?" "Are you doing drugs again?" "I told you, Morrie, I no longer try to heighten or dull my senses artificially." "I'm really a new person." "And where exactly does this new person live?" "(Jay) This is where I sleep." "I gathered leaves for the mattress." "You wouldn't believe how comfortable it is."

"Did you want to change before we..." "No." "No." "Okay." "Alright." "I am gonna fix you some..." "Is that meat meat or is that soy meat?" "Soy meat?" "Are you a vegetarian?" "A vegan." "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know." "Oh, that's okay." "Jay can have a Caesar Salad and some garlic bread." "I'm a..." "I'm a vegan." "No animal products." "You go ahead." "Not even cheese or butter?" "M ilk is for calves... to suckle." "Honey, why don't you sit down and I'll find something." "How... about..." "some... oatmeal?" "Great." "Can't have oatmeal for dinner." "Why not?"

"I really think you'd be more comfortable in your room." "I'd like to stay in the attic." "Okay." "I'll give it a quick sweep." "You know what I really don't want to find?" "My little brother swinging from a rafter in the attic." "I already told you, Morrie." "J ust because I was laying in the road doesn't mean I was trying to..." "Did you fall down?"

"There's a lot of bills piling up." "Okay." "Have your new washer and dryer made you happy?" "Yes, Jay, they have." "Would you like to know why?" "I would." "Because now," "I don't have to spend twenty minutes in the morning before I go to work at the bank scraping soap particles and residue off Morrie's and my clothes." "Because now I have a washing machine that doesn't bump, or quake or travel halfway across the basement when you put more than three items in one load." "(Ida) I remember that." "It was, like, possessed." "Because now I have a dryer, which is just that." "A dryer." "A device that removes significant amounts of moisture from clothing, and renders them completely - not just partially - dry." "So, yes, my new washer and dryer have made me very happy." "Okay." "I'm sorry." "Excuse me." "Morrie's always helped you, hasn't he, Ida?" "Every time you've called, every six months or so." "I will pay him back eventually." "You can pay him back now." "Leave tomorrow, Ida." "Please." "First thing." "Did you just say that to me?" "I know, and I'm sorry." "But I know you understand." "How many years have you guys been tiptoeing around Paul and Laura?" "Is this my parents' creme de menthe?" "I don't know." "It was there when Morrie and I started dating."

"Loosen your belt a bit." "Your robe." "Loosen your robe." "You don't wanna see that." "I 've seen it, but that's not what I meant." "You've seen it." "When did you see it?" "Jay and I used to look out the window when you'd sneak out back, and you'd go behind the bush and, you know?" "You need to think about your behavior." "It isn't safe."

"[Sighs]" "Anyway. [clears throat] Sorry about what I insinuated." "I 'm sure that you and Betty have a wonderful sex life." "We do have it." "I'm worried about Jay." "How do you get run over without breaking a bone?" "Carefully." "I don't want to have to, but he could hurt himself or someone else." "Well, but commit him?" "He's not mentally ill." "He's, he's emotionally ill." "No, not ill." "He's disconnected." "Sometimes these things run in families." "Except, Dad was not crazy." "Dad had an accident and Dad was eccentric and so is Jay."

"You're my best friend." "I just, uh, I love you." "I love you, too." "I can't imagine she'd have the gall to contact my brother." "No way." "I know you'll see that that doesn't happen but... having to still be the grownup all the time." "[Growl]" "That you?" "Let that genie out of the bottle, big guy." "God damn it to hell!" "(Betty) Honey I It's okay." "It's okay I" "That's twice today already." "We'll take care of it after dinner." "Now, let's go." "(Morrie) I thought you were going to change clothes." "I washed these." "So, the weekend?" "Yes." "So, guys, Betty and I, would like to treat both of you to dinner Sunday night at Shitake." "Yum." "What's the occasion?" "Paul and Laura are coming over." "So, you want us to clear out." "It's been set up for a month." "We have to do it." "You don't mind, do you?" "M m." "I don't have to clean up their shit." "Stop moving your foot."

"Good morning." "Good morning." "H i." "Time to get up." "Isn't it Sunday?" "I know." "We have so much to do." "They're gonna be here at 6: 30 and... we have to marinate and clean the garden and I think some of the stuff, where we've hung it, is just not in the right place."

"I like it." "It's just so obviously old." "[Sigh]" "Yeah." "How's a hundred dollars?" "That's too much." "I want you to have a nice dinner." "Thanks." "Bye." "Bye, sweetie." "No, oh!" "No." "Ah!" "Have fun!" "[Clock chimes softly]" "[Door opens and closes]" "Ah." "Oh." "[Chirping]" "You cannot tell Morrie, but did you know that he was born with a little teeny, tiny vestigial tail?" "He was not." "Ah, Mom told me." "It happens once in a while." "It was an inch and a half long." "She swore to me!" "She did." "She swore it to me." "They had to have it removed surgically." "Too bad he didn't keep it." "At least we would have known when he was happy." "So I look over and the kid is covered head to toe in strained carrots." "Ten seconds I didn't have my eye on him."

"Well, I 'm sure whatever it is could wait." "You don't understand." "The cops are looking for him." "They want his D NA." "That's absurd." "Why would they want that?" "They said he got arrested last week for touching a little girl." "(Laura) Let's go." "Oh my." "Okay." "She is not staying here." "We don't need to put Jay in an institution." "This is an institution." "She'll just stay here until we talk to Jay and clear things up." "Whoa, clear what?" "We're fucked!" "We're totally fucking fucked!" "How many years have we been kissing their asses, and for what?" "Did you see their faces as they ran for cover?" "We're pariahs." "We're totally fucked." "Fucking pariahs." "Okay, the big issue right now is Jay." "No!" "The issue is me, for once." "It's me." "I don't even know how many eggs I have left." "Eggs?" "Oh." "Oh, God." "It's the last thing on your mind." "Calm down." "No, I 'm not calming down." "I am going to Nancy Kennedy's, and I do not want you to try to stop me so shut up." "Are you..." "Shut up!" "I 'm taking the car!" "I don't think he's in there." "Is she... in there?" "That is the question." "I think it's safe to go home." "Now." "Hey, do you ever wonder if Paul bought the house next to ours 'cause he has a thing for Morrie?" "(Morrie) Here." "Thank you." "So, how long have you and Jay been married?" "Six months and three days." "It's not going so great, though." "Well, all marriages have their difficulties." "He stopped having sex a couple months ago." "He said "All desire leads to suffering."" "Then he stopped talking." "Only wrote notes." "And then he gave that up and moved to the ravine." "Well, maybe not the same difficulties." "I really, really miss him." "I 'm pretty sure he never molested that kid." "(Morrie) It's late." "Where were you?" "(Ida) It's eleven." "What's wrong?" "Your wife is here." "(Ida) Wife?" "She said you're under suspicion for sexual assault of a child." "Where's Gillian?" "Passed out in your old room." "Did you know they want your D NA?" "It's gotta be a mix up." "Jay?" "Jay?" "What's going on?" "Hey!" "Come back here, young man." "We have to sort this out, honey." "You come back down here this instant." "[Door closes]" "Wife?" "He has completely..." "What are we supposed to do?" "We have to call the cops." "We have to find his old shrink." "I can't take another situation in this family." "Oh, we're back at Dad's accident again." "You cannot fall out of that window." "It was snowing." "Snow doesn't suck people out of windows." "He was trying to fix something." "What needed to be fixed?" "No, he had a leak!" "He had leaks." "He was trying to shoo a bat out the window." "He jumped!" "On his head." "No." "He would never have wanted us to see him like that." "He wasn't thinking." "He had shut down." "You'd know more than..." "Me?" "Any of us." "You meant me." "[Voices]" "I wish they were here." "Go to bed." "It's late." "Yes, Dad." "No, don't." "I was Dad." "So don't say that." "I know." "You think I wanted..." "No." "I know you didn't want to take care of us." "It's not that." "Yes, it is, Morrie." "It is that." "That is the thing." "So say it." "Say the truth for once." "It's not gonna blow the world to smithereens." "You don't have that kind of power." "Goodnight." "I love you." "I love you." "Morrie?" "What?" "Look what I found in Jay's wallet." "It's a baseball card." "He didn't give everything away." "Somewhere in there he's still Jay." "He's still connected." "What are we doing?" "U h, we just remembered that today is my birthday, and as a special birthday gift to me," "I was hoping that you guys would smoke this joint with me." "Okay." "The condensed version of Manifest Destiny." "Paul and Laura gave that to us." "What could we give them?" "(all) Gonorrhea." "You know whatever happens we're still going to love you." "We need a birthday toast." "I'm gonna go see what we have." "You know, it's funny." "My wife is gone, and your wife is upstairs sleeping." "I mean, not "ha ha" funny." "[Exhales]" "[Inhales]" "(Ida) Those Dad's?" "Time to kill this fucker." "I can't believe you have a wife." "When were you gonna tell us?" "There's nothing to tell, really." "She wanted to get married so I married her." "She seems nice." "She is nice." "But she's kind of dopey." "Don't say that about your wife." "It's true." "M m, But, sometimes, sometimes kindness is wiser than truth." "Khalil Gibran." "Columbo." "[Laughter]" "Lieutenant Columbo?" "I don't know why, I always remembered that line." "To Ida." "Happy birthday, sis." "[Mfft]" "[Whizzing]" "It has been months... since I 've had a bowel movement." "That's a true story." "[Laughter]" "[Rummaging]" "Hey." "Where you going?" "Going to see my woman, bring her home." "Morrie," "maybe Dad was sad 'cause Mom was sick." "Since when have you had trouble sleeping?" "Two years ago." "Oh." "No, not that." "No, before." "When I left." "You're not going to see him?" "Jesus you can't wait a month?" "I 'll have tenure then." "Gary will be married." "Are you serious?" "Settling down here was too dull for you." "Life with Gary now would be less fun than it was two years ago." "Fun isn't fun anymore." "Shh!" "How long are you going to let Paul give you purple nurples?" "You remember that?" "You remember the bruises?" "It's like having sex with The M ummy." "Ahh!" "Pooks, did you miss me?" "M m." "What?" "I thought we were going to be honest with each other?" "[Toy squeaking]" "[Girl screams]" "(Betty) Hey, are you okay?" "I 'll get your mom." "It's just M r." "Csonka... come to... say hi." "What are you doing?" "Why are you wet?" "I guess the Morrisons got an automatic sprinkler system." "Go home before somebody sees you." "I need to talk to you." "Not... not now." "I need to talk to you." "I want you to come home." "I love you." "I love you, too." "Okay." "I don't wanna wait anymore." "Let's start our family." "I don't care if you get tenure or not." "I thought we agreed that we needed a more stable and secure environment before we embarked on all of that." "I'm doing all of this for you." "I know." "But I just want to be a mom." "Oh, God." "This hasn't all been an excuse, has it?" "Don't you want to have children with me?" "Yes." "Of course I do." "It's not that." "I 'm just..." "I'm a..." "We can manage." "No, it's not that." "It's... everything." "My father and Jay." "I just wish there was some kind of prenatal screening." "But you can't screen for what happens in this family." "No, you can't." "Maybe you're not ready." "Maybe you should go off and have... your insane youth, 'cause you never got to have it." "Well, I never thought of that." "You should." "Okay." "Well, you'll let me know." "Honey?" "No, just... let me know when you're ready." "L..." "I said okay." "Can you just wait?" "I 've been waiting." "No, don't get up." "Do you wanna come in?" "M m-hm." "[Music]" "[Music stops]" "You took down the photos I did." "You look good." "You do." "You look really good." "How's your brother?" "Jay?" "Yeah, I heard he was cracking up a bit." "Yeah." "Who isn't cracking up a bit?" "I know I am." "So, listen." "There's something I have to tell you." "Don't worry about it." "Ye- no." "Please." "It's important." "U m, a couple months after I left, I... uh, I realized I shouldn't have." "I mean, I was thinking about coming back... and, uh, I was just about to call... and then I was afraid to come back 'cause I thought that you'd think that, that I was just coming back because of that." "Out of, like, guilt or pity or something." "And I thought, I thought you'd hate that." "The thing is, I thought for sure you'd come back after." "Every time the door to my room would open I," "I always expected it to be you." "I know." "I know." "I should have." "I should have." "I wish I had." "I was really looking forward to telling you to fuck off." "Oh..." "Yeah." "Yeah, I guess." "Anyway." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Hey." "Sh, sh, sh." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Oh." "Hey." "Sh sh sh." "Hey." "I 'm sorry." "I love you." "Do you hate me?" "Hey." "Hey." "Fuck!" "Keys?" "Did you see my keys?" "Don't leave." "I need your help." "I don't need your help." "I don't know what I 'm saying." "Don't leave." "Coming through!" "Good morning." "Thanks for waiting." "Sorry." "Okay." "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." "Yeah." "Well, look who finally made it." "Rough morning." "Car trouble." "So, a couple things." "First... we felt, I 'm sorry, we had to alert the authorities... as to Jay's whereabouts." "J ust in case." "Sure." "Someone has to protect the innocent and vulnerable." "Second, do you know where your little sister was this morning?" "I'm pretty sure she was at Gary's." "I drove by on my way in and I saw her car parked in front." "I would've stopped but I didn't want to be late." "My lateness this morning was unavoidable." "I'm just..." "It won't happen again." "Your lateness is secondary." "What do you want me to say, Paul?" "You said you would ensure that Ida stayed away from my brother." "I 'm just disappointed." "I trusted you." "We're friends." "I could consider you my best friend." "I don't know what you think." "You didn't deliver and that says something about your character." "I 'm sorry, but I can't control Ida." "She's an adult and so is Gary, and even if Ida went over there, I 'm sure he could handle it." "No, he can't." "Okay?" "She's poison to him." "She's already smashed his life to shit once." "Okay, I 'm getting a little tired of Ida being blamed for what happened to Gary." "Oh, you are?" "Yeah." "Gary chose to get hammered... and drive his car 100 miles an hour." "How is that Ida's fault?" "He wouldn't have done it if she hadn't taken off on him like some wanton slut." "Okay, don't... don't talk about my little sister that way." "Come on, you know it's true." "Ida's always been a total tramp." "What Ida does says nothing about my character." "What Gary does says nothing about Ida's character." "There is such a thing in America as personal responsibility." "You know what?" "You know what?" "Ow!" "Take it back." "Take it all back." "Ow!" "Is that what you like?" "Ow, ow!" "Fine!" "I take it back!" "Ah!" "You're fuckin' psychotic, pal." "J ust like the rest of your sicko family." "Yes, but we're nicer than you." "What the fuck!" "Someone has to protect the vulnerable and the innocent!" "[Gay chatter]" "(Ida) Hey." "H i, Ida." "How are you?" "Ellen, I 'm sorry." "I must have nodded off a bit." "No worries." "Would you like some coffee?" "Are you hungry?" "No, I have to run." "Are you sure?" "Well, it's nice to see you." "You look good." "Thanks." "Congratulations." "Oh!" "Thank you, thanks." "And you too." "I heard you're a big photographer now." "No, no." "Not really." "I heard that, too." "Oh." "I've been exaggerating to Morrie about some stuff." "Oh, yeah?" "I still take photos... and I exhibit here and there, but to pay the bills..." "I survive doing glamor shots of transvestites." "[Chuckles]" "Seriously?" "I did one for a friend, and word spread, so..." "Well, that's alright." "Yeah, it sounds interesting." "Anyway, I should go." "Oh, wait." "I have something for you." "If we'd have known you were gonna be in town, we would have sent it earlier." "I really hope you can make it." "It's so nice of you to offer." "I think I 'm gonna be gone by then." "Anyway, I don't think Paul and Laura would approve." "Well, it isn't Paul and Laura's wedding, is it?" "So, tough shit for them." "Right, baby?" "Exactly right." "I really have to run." "U h-oh, Spaghetti-o's." "Jay!" "No!" "[Knocking]" "Jay!" "Hey!" "[Scoffs] No!" "Please, God!" "No!" "Go around!" "Go around!" "(female voice) Well, I didn't want to do that." "I mean, sometimes I like to, but..." "I don't want him to check." "You know, I could watch, maybe, but it didn't seem like..." "I, I 'm gonna have to call you back." "[Bird chirps loudly]" "(officer) Okay!" "Good!" "Don't move!" "(Ida) He's not moving." "Please put the gun down." "Ida?" "Will?" "It's Phil." "How you doin'?" "I had a great time the other night." "Would you mind terribly calling us an ambulance, please?" "Phil." "[Phone rings]" "(male recorded voice) Hi, if you have a message for Joe, or Nancy or Misha Kennedy, leave it at the..." "[beep]" "(Morrie) Honey, it's me." "Okay, I had it." "My insane youth." "I hated it." "Please come home." "Foot." "(Morrie) So, what did they say?" "Put ice on it." "You have to keep it clean." "No, what did the police say?" "They asked me some questions." "They took a D NA swab." "They're doing everybody, it's not just me." "Then why did you run?" "Habit?" "Everybody and their grandmother weren't arrested last week for..." "Why don't you tell us what happened?" "I touched a little girl." "I had this idea that I was gonna touch people." "I did touch people." "(female voice) What the hell are you...?" "The cops came." "I went to the hospital." "They gave me stitches." "But because Momma Bear gave me such a concussion," "I had to stay up all night." "So, in the morning I went for a walk, and that's when I laid down." "And you were really out of it." "I 'm relieved that you're not a child molester but you can't just go around touching people?" "People need to be jolted." "No, people need to be comforted." "You don't comfort them by satisfying your own curiosity about... breaking down boundaries and rules." "Some people really like their rules." "They've chosen them." "And you don't get to choose what rules other people obey or not." "They do." "You see?" "This is what I mean." "This is exactly what I 'm talking about." "They are breaking my rules." "They are breaking my boundaries!" "And you... you are just like them, Jay." "You are a terrorist and I am sick of everyonel" "Agh!" "Are you okay?" "Morrie?" "Morrie?" "No..." "[Morrie grunts]" "(Jay) Let it gol Morrie, let it gol [screaming, laughing, cheering]" "Please." "Please." "Oh, my gosh!" "Oh, my gosh!" "What is it?" "Oh!" "Ew!" "[Chuckles]" "Morrie did that." "Excuse me?" "Morrie just... did that on my lawn." "What?" "Morrie just shat on my lawn." "No." "Yes." "And he attacked Paul at school today." "He went cra-crazy." "He did?" "He's sick, honey, and now, I, I don't blame you but someone needs to clean that up." "I need you or Morrie to clean that up." "Please." "I n the next ten minutes." "I, I just can't." "Oh." "Fuck off, Laura." "What?" "You clean it up." "[Gasp] Oh no!" "Why?" "[Soft music]" "How is it?" "Perfect." "[Soft music]"
