"We'II ask her mother tomorrow when we see her." "Anyway." "forecast for tomorrow is wind." "Why was uncle Fred behaving so strangely?" "well." "I'm not surprised." "She got pretty worked up about it last time." "Come on. just forget about it." "She's not gonna change." "Yeah. well." "you're only gonna upset yourself." "exactly." "That's what I'm saying." "Oh. they're great." "They're outside playing on the boat." "Uh...." "I don't know. 5. 5:30." "My kitchen clock's not working." "so I have to get that fixed on Monday." "Yeah. exactly."

"What does she need the eggs for?" "I mean. what's she cooking?" "I have no idea." "So are they okay just like this or do you need the carton?" "Whatever you want." "How did you get in here?" "Down there." "I mean. down by the water." "But you're not wet." "There's a hole in the fence." "By the water. not in the water." "Fred sh" " I mean." "Mr. Thompson." "knows about it." "He showed it to me." "Oh." "I see." "So you sure they're okay like this?" "Yeah. yeah." "That's okay." "No problem." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "AII right." "Say hello to Eve."

"We have to go grocery shopping on Monday anyway." "PETER:" "I'm really sorry." "It's not so bad." "None of us eat eggs for breakfast anyway." "So the disaster's under control." "WeII. thank you." "I'm sorry." "I should have paid more attention." "WeII. you shouldn't cry over spilt milk. right?" "You're really nice." "You do what you can." "I really am sorry." "I'm very cIumsy. you know?" "I think I have two left hands." "Then you're the man for carrying eggs." "Yes. you could say that." "So. what are we going to do now?" "WeII. we have a Iot of steak." "but we might be expecting guests and they definitely eat eggs for breakfast." "You'II still have four left." "It's a box with a dozen. isn't it?" "Or am I mistaken?" "No. you're not mistaken." "So would you Iike the carton this time?" "It's not necessary." "Are you sure?" "But if you insist." "If I insist?" "WeII. it might be better." "I guess." "Oh." "God." "What?" "Oh. no." "I'm sorry." "Before you destroy the rest of the kitchen maybe you should take the eggs and leave." "AII right?" "Yes." "No carton? I'm really sorry." "honestly." "Me too." "Here you go." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "I'II tell Mrs. Thompson how nice you were." "Do what you have to do." "PETER:" "Have a nice day." "Excuse me?" "Lucky." "Lucky." "Get down." "Come on. come on. stop that." "Get out of here." "Go on. get lost." "I'm sorry." "He's completely harmless." "He just wants to play." "That's a strange way to play." "Did he hurt you?" "Peter is afraid of dogs." "Oh." "I'm sorry." "Me too." "He jumped on me." "I'm really sorry." "Yeah." "should I lock him up so you can leave?" "That won't be necessary." "I can call my husband." "It's not gonna be necessary." "It's my fault." "I completely forgot about the dog." "I should've come myself and...." "Wow." "That's a really great set of clubs." "It's CaIIaway. right?" "Awesome." "These are wonderful." "May I?" "I guess we don't stand a chance tomorrow. do we?" "The club doesn't make the player." "That's true." "would you mind if I tried this?" "Just once. please?" "real quick." "Outside." "please?" "Yes?" "I'II hit it towards the bay." "Yes?" "If it makes you happy." "Thank you." "Thanks a Iot." "really." "Thank you." "Excuse me." "He loves golf." "We both do." "Excuse me?" "We both do." "We both love golf." "Lucky!" "Lucky." "Be quiet." "What's the matter with him?" "I don't know." "It's probably too hot for him too." "[LUCKY BARKING HO ARSELY]" "[BARKING STOPS]" "I'II take a look." "It's wonderful." "It really makes a difference." "like night and day." "Thanks a Iot." "Sure." "Lucky!" "Where's Tom?" "Who?" "Did you give him the eggs?" "Excuse me?" "Driver's really first class." "You have to try it." "Listen. young man." "I don't know what kind of game you're playing but I don't wanna be a part of it." "would you please leave now?" "What game?" "I'm sorry. ma'am. but I don't understand why you're suddenly being so unfriendly." "Did Tom or I do anything to upset you?" "please leave." "Did you misbehave while I was outside?" "Was he rude?" "Did he say something that--?" "Stop it." "I've asked you nicely to leave." "Now I'd Iike you to go." "well...." "I don't understand what's upset you." "but if you insist." "Just give Tom the eggs." "and we won't bother you anymore." "Excuse me?" "We'II have to tell Eve and Fred." "Nothing like this has happened to me before." "What about you?" "Can you just give us the eggs. please?" "No." "How dare you." "please just go." "Right now." "Did I do something wrong?" "I asked you to leave." "I want you to go." "Have you seen the dog?" "Is he with you?" "will you throw them out?" "It's good you're here." "Mr. Farber." "That's your name. isn't it?" "Farber?" "Yes." "Yeah." "Fre" " Mr. Thompson told us." "What's going on?" "I want them to leave." "Your wife's under the wrong impression." "I'm happy you're here." "I'm certain you can figure out this misunderstanding." "George. please." "Dad." "I can't" "Just go." "PIease. go." "Hey." "Ann." "This is ridiculous." "I can't believe this." "Honey. do you mind...?" "No. he's fine." "May I please explain what happened?" "please do." "Mrs. Thompson sent me over to ask for some eggs. and then" "Your wife gave Peter the eggs." "but. unfortunateIy. they broke." "And then she gave me another four eggs but the dog jumped on me." "and now...." "You had a dozen and you're going shopping on Monday anyway." "We just want the eggs. that's all." "Ann. can you tell me what's going on here?" "Honey. can you just tell me what's going on?" "Just give them to them." "Can I have them now?" "hold on a moment." "Ann. if it's just about some eggs." "why are you so angry?" "Look." "I'm not going to justify myself in front" "I asked you to throw them out." "Maybe I have my reasons." "Do what you want." "I've had enough." "Ann." "I'm sorry." "My wife's not feeling weII. so...." "Yeah." "could you please leave?" "I can hardly play the mediator if I don't know the facts. now. can I?" "So could you just Ieave. please?" "PIease. the...." "What?" "Just give them to him." "What the hell is going on here?" "Nothing's going on. sir." "He asked for the eggs." "the dog attacked him. they broke." "Now he would Iike some more." "What is so difficult to understand?" "You better watch your tone." "young man." "You better be carefuI. old man." "or I'II break your eggs." "Now. please Ieave. right now." "Mr. Farber?" "What?" "[YELLS]" "Dad!" "PETER:" "Is it broken?" "Hey. hey. come on. come on." "come on." "Hey." "Come on." "Behave yourself." "Behave yourseIf. okay?" "Okay?" "I don't want to hurt you so you have to behave yourself." "Mom." "What is it. baby?" "PIease. just. ma'am." "stay where you are. okay?" "PIease. stay." "He slapped me in the face." "Yeah. he started it." "You can help him." "just don't do anything stupid." "help him."

"Peter is a" " He's a medical student." "He can help you with it." "PETER:" "Can you please take off your pants?" "If you don't let me see your wound." "I can't help you." "I'm sorry I hurt you." "but you forced me to. you must admit." "Come on." "Mr. Farber." "be reasonable." "Let him look at your leg." "He can help you with it." "would you please leave?" "please." "PETER:" "We won't get anywhere like this." "You have to let him help you." "you don't really have a choice." "You're the ship's captain. sir." "You're aware that onboard." "the captain's word is Iaw. aren't you?" "So. what do you want to do?" "You want to call someone?" "An ambulance or the police?" "I won't stop you." "Neither will Tom." "Right." "Tom?" "WeII. what are you waiting for?" "He dropped the cell phone in the sink." "Why are you doing this?" "Why not?" "Okay." "let's play another game." "It's a guessing game." "What is this?" "Sir?" "It's a golf ball." "Correct." "It's a golf ball." "But why do I have it in my pocket?" "Hm?" "The lady knows why." "Because...?" "well?" "well?" "Because you didn't hit it." "Correct." "Because I didn't hit it." "And why didn't I hit it?" "Because something stopped you." "Correct." "Because I had to test the club in another way." "Where is he?" "cold." "Even colder." "cold." "Ice cold." "Warmer." "Warmer." "little cold." "Warmer." "Warmer." "Warmer." "cold." "cold." "Warmer." "Warm. cold." "Warmer." "really warm." "would you please go to the kitchen and get me something to eat?" "That be possible?" "Maybe there's some bananas or...." "please don't think about bringing back a knife or anything like that or I'd be sorry." "For you." "I mean." "It's getting cloudy." "That's very nice of you. thank you." "hello?" "hello?" "hello?" "hello?" "Yeah!" "hello!" "Hi. sweetie." "Where are you?" "Come on down to the water." "We're both thinking the same thing." "aren't we?" "Hm?" "We saw your boat." "Hi." "Betsy." "Hi." "Robert."

"He's staying with the Thompsons next door." "Hi. pleased to meet you." "Hi." "paul." "You cold?" "Oh. no." "I have" " I have eczema." "Oh." "You should go swimming." "the water works wonders for that here." "Thank you. that's good advice." "HeIIo. pleased to meet you." "hello." "How's George?" "Fine. thanks." "Where is he?" "He pulled a muscle putting up the mast." "so he's lying down. resting." "BETSY:" "So sorry to hear that." "That's what happens when you try to do too much." "Robert. on the other hand." "would never dream of launching a boat." "Right." "Robert?" "tell your hubby to get better." "we're grilling every night." "I'II tell him." "I mean it. as soon as he's better." "swing by." "Robert's son is here." "He brought his little girlfriend." "He'd Iike her for sure." "AII right." "well." "listen." "it's great to see you. darling." "Listen. if the weather stays like this." "you'II probably have to take the car." "It's supposed to be windy." "For tomorrow" "Where's your dock?" "Excuse me?" "Your dock?" "Oh. it's just around the peninsula." "but on the other side." "The old cottage. with the red dock?" "BETSY:" "Right." "It's very beautiful." "WeII. thank you. we enjoy it." "WeII. anyway. it's good to see you." "AII right. goodbye." "So you're here all week?" "BETSY:" "WeII. this week for sure." "Maybe we'II come by tonight." "BETSY:" "Oh. do. you know we love seeing you." "AII right." "We'II see how George is doing." "Yeah. see how he is." "Bye-bye." "Bye." "Bye." "They'II be here in two hours and then this little charade of yours will be over." "PETER:" "Sorry. but that's not exactly true." "Didn't you ask your friends to call and confirm or did I misunderstand something?" "They'II come." "even if they can't reach us." "Is lying allowed?" "Just a second." "Wait." "let me move this out of the way." "Why don't you have a landline?" "Don't you find it convenient?" "Or is it that you aren't out here that much?" "PIease. have a seat." "You know you can be completely open with us." "You'd feel better." "We're being completely open with you." "Right there." "PETER:" "You should put a pillow under him." "You know. if you'd let Peter help you. it wouId hurt less." "I'm happy to heIp. really." "I just don't want to impose." "careful with...." "That's a good idea. put it up." "That should be more comfortable." "PETER:" "So there we are." "You sure you don't wanna put a piIIow--?" "could you please stop this?" "You're asking?" "What?" "You said. "please."" "I'm very happy about this." "It's easier when things are polite." "I'd Iike to apologize for before." "But you have to admit." "George." "the slap in the face?" "It really wasn't the most appropriate reaction." "I'm paul." "This is Peter." "Come here." "Tom." "Where are your manners?" "Shake the man's hand." "Here. take this for the pain." "What's this now?" "What. are we shit to you?" "[GEORGE YELLING]" "What. didn't we just agree that...?" "Jesus Christ!" "[GRUNTS]" "[SCREAMS]" "It's okay." "It's okay." "[CLATTERING]" "Stop it now." "otherwise your mother will get hurt." "Stop it!" "Do you understand?" "Do you understand?" "!" "[GEORGIE CRYING]" "calm down." "calm down." "So much stress for politeness' sake." "[CLEARS THRO AT]" "I mean." "I was just trying to be friendly." "Improve relations." "I thought we could keep this civilized." "Why are you doing this?" "Tubby. why are we doing this?" "Go on. say it." "I don't know." "The captain would Iike to know why." "well?" "It's difficult to talk about it." "Don't be shy." "You know exactly how hard this is for me." "Jesus. what a drama." "His father divorced his mother when he was this big. for another woman" "It's not true!" "He's lying." "My mother got a divorce because" "Because she wanted her little teddy bear all to herself." "Which is why he's gay." "and he's a criminaI. got it?" "PETER:" "You're an asshole." "The truth is he's white trash." "He comes from a fiIthy. deprived family." "Five sibIings. all of them on drugs." "His father is an alcoholic." "His mother. well." "I mean." "you can imagine." "Truth is he's fucking her." "It's sad. but it's true." "Come on." "calm down now." "Tubby." "Stop it." "You're disgusting." "Can't you at Ieast watch your language in front of my son?" "Oh." "I'm...." "I'm sorry." "Of course." "What would you Iike to hear?" "What would make you happy?" "None of what I said is true." "you know that as well as I do." "You think he's white trash?" "Come on. he's a spoiled little brat." "He's jaded and disgusted by the emptiness of existence." "It's hard." "really." "He liked that." "Look. now he's smiling." "Okay?" "You happy now." "or you want another version?" "I'm hungry." "Let's see what there is." "Truth is he's a drug addict." "That's where he's going to right now." "That's why he's so nervous." "I'm also a drug addict." "We rob rich families in their charming vacation homes to support our habit." "Mm-hm." "Stop this bullshit." "I get it." "Isn't that enough?" "That's good." "Hey." "Tubby. he's got it." "He gets it." "That's awesome. really." "really." "Listen...." "Peter. come here." "Listen. we're gonna make a bet now. okay?" "Come on. hurry up." "Sit down." "It's dark in here." "Come on. don't fall asleep." "Okay. we bet" " What time is it?" "Eight-forty." "that in." "let's say. 1 2 hours all three of you are gonna be kaput." "Okay?" "What?" "You bet that you'II be alive tomorrow at 9:00 and we bet that you'II be dead. okay?" "PETER:" "They don't wanna bet." "WeII. it's not an option." "There has to be a bet." "I mean. what do you think?" "You think they stand a chance?" "You're on their side. aren't you?" "Who are you betting on. hm?" "But. wait. what kind of bet is this?" "If they're dead they can't live up to their side." "and if they win. they can't Iive. either." "Yes. they'II lose either way." "that's what I'm saying." "Stop this nonsense." "Are you trying to scare us?" "Haven't you done enough already?" "What do you want?" "You want money?" "WeII. take it." "I'II tell you what." "Take what you want. just get out." "Okay?" "Don't you think Fred and Eve are going to come over and see what's happening?" "And then they're gonna give us a thorough spanking. right?" "Okay." "So the bet is on." "Like they say on TV:" "Let's make a deal." "So. what do you want to do now?" "would you be so kind as to go and make us something to eat?" "Tubby I'm worried about you." "Can you control yourself?" "You just finished stuffing your face with that meat." "It's disgusting." "What are these people going to think?" "I haven't had anything since noon." "Stop calling me "Tubby" all the time." "Okay." "Tom." "Okay." "Jerry." "Okay. well." "I think you should watch your figure." "Do you think that that's attractive?" "Look at the captain's wife." "You think she thinks you're hot?" "With these jelly rolls?" "Stop it." "[PETER LAUGHING]" "Do you Iike having that?" "Stop it." "Look at her. she's not that old." "Pardon me. ma'am." "You would be completely acceptable to her if it wasn't for that body." "You should follow her lead." "Now. that is a weII-toned body." "There's not an extra calorie on it." "PETER:" "I'm not so sure." "What?" "Did you hear that?" "Tubby. that's really rude." "Are we gonna take that. ma'am?" "Oh. no." "Hey." "Indian." "You." "What's your name anyway?" "George." "George?" "Just like Daddy." "That's really sweet." "Come here." "Georgie." "Come here." "Come here." "Come on." "we're gonna play a game now." "Leave him alone." "I know you don't want to play with me." "but it's a really awesome game." "It's a fun game. trust me." "Leave the boy alone." "You see how your mom fights for you?" "Your daddy could learn from her." "Stop it." "That's why we're gonna let her play too." "Tubby. take Georgie for a second." "You see. this is an awesome game." "It's called Cat in a Bag." "It's really fun." "Here we go." "Don't panic." "Nothing's going to happen." "I said it was a fun game." "It's a family game." "Daddy can pIay. too." "so he doesn't get bored." "Hey." "Georgie." "It's no fun if you keep moving around. okay?" "Hey!" "Listen to me." "That's better." "Now." "Iisten. we're a team now." "aren't we?" "Does the cover bother you?" "Are you getting enough air?" "Are you?" "Georgie?" "Are you?" "Yes." "Awesome." "Now we can start." "If I remember correctly." "Mommy and our little Indian wanted to sneak off." "Now. why was that?" "Tubby. why was that?" "I don't know." "Is lying allowed?" "What kind of example are you setting for these people?" "Tubby. you know exactly why she wanted to leave." "Because you started talking about her jelly rolls." "You're the one who's doubted her perfection." "Whatever. it doesn't matter." "Anyway I understand why she was embarrassed in front of the boy here." "That's why we're playing Cat in the Bag." "To preserve moral decency." "Now the kid is in the bag." "Now let's see if Mommy's titties sag." "[GEORGIE SCREAMS]" "We don't want to hurt the kitty-cat. right?" "Leave him alone." "exactly." "Daddy would Iike to play too." "[GEORGIE SCREAMING]" "Oh." "God." "What are we waiting for?" "tell your wife not to be shy." "It's silly." "I'm sure she doesn't have jelly rolls." "please." "leave him alone." "You just have to tell her to take off her clothes." "please." ""Take off your cIothes. honey."" "[GEORGIE SCREAMING]" "Take off your clothes." ""Take off your cIothes. honey."" "Take off your cIothes. honey." "Bravo." "What did I say?" "No jelly rolls." "And now we can get dressed again." "Thank you." "[CRYING]" "Gross." "Tubby. come here." "Take this piglet." "He's not even house broken yet." "Go change his diaper." "I'II take him." "It's okay." "I'm not doing anything to him." "Let go of him!" "[ALL GRO ANING AND YELLING]" "Here." "Have a seat." "Have a seat." "I would advise you not to kick." "I hope you don't get bored with him." "If you do." "dump a bucket of water on his head." "But be carefuI. don't ruin the carpet." "No. it's just a joke." "I have to take my SATs again in the fall and then I'II go to college and study business." "Does it hurt badly?" "Why don't you just kill us?" "You shouldn't forget the importance of entertainment." "[PANTING]" "[FOOTSTEPS]" "I'm sorry about the Ieg. but it's really your own fauIt. if I may say so." "I mean. why did you slap paul?" "And the pointless begging for the eggs was pretty uncomfortable for me." "Degrading. actually." "I don't know if that's clear to you." "If you think about it. all of this." "just for a carton of eggs." "In fact. they must still be there." "Besides. you should've listened to your wife." "She practically begged you to let us leave with the eggs." "But then. of course." "everyone's always smarter in hindsight." "Here they are." "One is cracked. but not bad." "These egg cartons can really take a Iot. considering." "Why are you doing that?" "How stupid do you think I am?" "I don't understand." "what are you thinking?" "You're practically forcing me to treat you badly." "Shit!" "Now you've really done it."

"You were discussing the difference between communicating between the material universe and the anti-materiaI universe. right?" "exactly." "It's like you're inside of a black hole."

"After 8." "already? Why?" "The deadline was 9." "She had almost another hour." "WeII. it's too difficult to sail like this first of all." "Second of all..." "..." "I'm getting kind of hungry." "That's true." "And when he overcomes the gravitational forces it turns out that one universe is real and the other one is fiction." "How?" "How do I know?" "It's a kind of model projection in cyberspace." "Okay. so where's your hero now?" "Is he in reality or is he in fiction?" "His family's in reality." "and he's in fiction." "But isn't fiction real?" "Why?" "WeII. you can see it in the movie." "right?" "Of course." "WeII. then it's just as real as reality because you can see it too. right?" "bullshit." "Why?" "hello?" "Is anyone there?" "hello?"
