Kabluey (2007) - full transcript

Inept Salman comes to help his sister-in-law tend to his holy terror nephews while Salman's brother is off fighting in Iraq. Salman must take a humiliating job as a giant blue corporate mascot in order to help make ends meet and hold the family together.

And it was announced today

that another fifteen thousand
National Guard troops

would be called to active duty and
deployed to Iraq within the month.

President George
Bush is urging all Americans

to stand united
on the war in Iraq.

And the Bush administration
is facing some difficult decisions

on troop levels
for the war in Iraq.

No, you are not bothering us.

I'm glad you called.

How is it going?

Not good.



Oh I do wish we were there
to help you out, hon.

I saw on the news last night
that they are extending

all the National Guard
people over there.

Will Noah be extended?

October.

Oh, I can't believe it.
What are you going to do?

Well, we can't afford daycare.

But if I don't go back to
work in the next six weeks,

we're going to lose the
kids' health insurance.

All right you guys, cut it out now.
Stop it.

I would offer to come
out there and help.

But with Ed's condition I...

No, I know.

Mommy.



Maybe your parents.

No.

Well, what about Salman?

Salman?

What about him?

Maybe Salman could come out

and help you for a while.

I'm sure the boys would love
to meet their uncle.

I don't know.

I mean, where is he now?

He is in Nevada.

What is he doing?

Help! Help!

Is he working?

No. He was fired again. I just
heard from him on Mother's Day.

Yeah.
What was he fired for?

Oh...

Okay. When you
see the red light

that means it is
hot enough to laminate.

You just slide
everything through here.

And you have to pull it
through on the other side.

Jesus Christ, can I just
get one color copy?

Here, I'll be right back.

I didn't want this laminated.

Why not?

This is my resume.

I don't know.

I'll call him right now.

I have a number. I think he
is living with some friends.

Now, Les,
I don't want you to worry.

Everything is going to work out.

Noah will be home in one piece
before you know it, God willing.

I'll call Salman
and leave him a message.

It will all work itself out.

And it will all be okay.

Okay?

The Bush
administration sends its top guns

from the Pentagon
to Capitol Hill

in an effort to
reassure all Americans.

A more
emotional debate yesterday

in the House of Representatives
on the war in Iraq.

It ended, as expected,

with passage of a Republican
draft resolution that...

President Bush got a
briefing at the Pentagon today.

And afterwards...

Oh, hi.
Hi.

Come in.

Hi.

Hi.
Hi.

Don't you have luggage? Oh yeah.

I have this.

Yeah, that is luggage.

All my other stuff
is in storage.

In Vermont and Dubuque.

Okay. Whatever.
Okay.

That is an interesting belt.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, I made it myself.
At work.

You know, it is basically
a cardboard belt.

But it is made with plastic.
So it is a plastic belt.

It is cool.
Thanks.

So, that is one of them?
That is Cameron?

That is Lincoln.

Oh. Okay.

Hi, Cam. Hi, Lincoln.
Hi. Hi, Lincoln.

Hi, Lincoln.

No!

Well, yeah.
They are kind of shy.

Dinner!

Many questions today for
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld...

Cameron, take a bite.

No, I don't want to.
I won't eat anything!

This is good, water.

So I guess we haven't seen
you since the wedding.

Oh. Yeah.

Yeah.
Yeah.

You ever talk
to Noah about that?

No.

I didn't want to. He was so mad.
I just didn't know if...

The fire department and all.
We didn't talk about it.

Oh.

Yeah. So I have to go
back to work tomorrow.

Oh, tomorrow? Okay. All right.
I thought it was next week.

And I will be gone from 8:00 to 5:00.
But sometimes until 6:00.

And that is when
the kids have dinner.

Right. So I will be feeding
them dinner at night.

Making dinner
for them. Okay.

And breakfast, and lunch.

Oh right. Okay.

No, of course,
I'll do all three.

All day. Yeah, I know.
It is feeding them.

I know.

I'll show you where
everything is tonight.

You know, after
the kids are in B-E-D.

In bed?

No, I don't want to go to bed!

No, mommy!

Sorry.

Yeah, so,
this is the spare room.

So I thought you could
just stay here.

I didn't bring a bed with me.

This?

Yes. The other
sleeping bags are wet.

Is that the one
with vomit in it?

I can't tell.

And there is a lantern up there.

The light in that room
doesn't work.

So, you should take that.

This? No, that is a camp stove.

You can have that
if you want it.

I don't think I'll be
cooking in there. Will I?

Whatever. It is up to you.
Do you want the tent?

Good night.
I love you.

I'm really tired right now. So I don't
feel like going over everything.

Do you think you have it?

I guess so.

Can we just talk
in the morning then?

Can I leave you a note?
I'll leave you a note.

What do I do if something happens
that I have to reach you?

I have a text message,
pager thing.

So, just leave me a message.

Okay.

You know what? That thing
is really for work.

It is supposed to be for work.

So don't page me.
Do not page me.

Okay.

And be really quiet when you
are getting ready for bed.

They are right next door.

Okay.

Did you use the bathroom yet?

No.

Oh, my...

But I can wait until
morning, I guess.

That is great. Okay. Thanks.
That is good.

Good night.

Good night.

Mommy is leaving!

Mommy!

Hello?

Mommy! Mommy!

Guys...

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy, mommy!

Mommy! Mommy!

Mommy!

No more cookies.

Hi.

What are you doing?

I'm babysitting.

So, they had cereal for dinner?

No, no, that was just a snack.

What did they eat for lunch?

Sandwiches.

And breakfast?

What did you do all day?

Well, we played in their
room for a little while.

Lincoln, we have
to put underpants on

if we are going to be
in polite society.

I don't want to be hit
on the shoulder.

And then I gave them a bath.

Hey kids. Just stay in
the bath tub, all right?

I'm almost done!

Cameron? Lincoln?

Where are you?

Lincoln? Cameron?
Lincoln! Wait a minute.

It is okay. You are okay.
Come on.

Cameron? Where are you?
You are okay, Lincoln.

You are okay.
Where is Cameron?

I'm drowned.

You are not drowned.
You are still talking.

No towels. All right, let me get
you a towel. Hold on. Cameron?

Hey!

And then we went for a walk.

Cameron?
Cameron, come here!

Come back here, Cameron.

Cameron!
Cameron, come here!

And maybe we could
go over stuff,

like you said you would
leave in that note.

Because the note you left was fine.
Whatever.

But I couldn't really find
much food besides cereal.

Why didn't you just walk
to the grocery store?

Oh. Well I didn't know
that I could.

I mean, I will.

I'm not against that. I just
didn't know it was an option.

What is that?

It is the mail.

When did it come?

Today.
It is today's mail.

This came today?
Yeah.

This is from Noah.

It is a letter from Noah.
Why didn't you page me?

But you said not to page...

Yeah, no. Yeah, of course.
Oh, I'm sorry. Okay. Sorry.

Come on, relax.

Let us go!

No, no!

I can't take you both in at once.
I'll come right back.

You are okay. It is okay.
I will be right back.

Calm down, calm down. Just relax.
We will be right back.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

Have you kidnapped these kids?

What? No, no, no. Their
father is my brother.

All right, whatever. Because
I'm just being safe.

You would be surprised
how many people bring

juvenile hostages
into grocery stores.

And then it is,
"Hello! AMBER alert."

Sir, we can't have you tying
your child up outside the store.

It looks very bad.

They are not his kids.
Apparently he is their uncle.

Or so he says.

Please, just untie the child.

This is a family store.

Or go over to the Shopway.

Hold this. Cameron!
Come back here.

Cameron, Cameron?
Cameron?

All right, that is enough. Now let us go.
Now we are going home.

Hey! Hey! What?

Stop it. Stop it.

I hate you!

Now Cameron, that is enough.

Now let us go.
Come on.

I am going to kill you.

This is not working.

Yeah.
Well, I tried...

Mommy, mommy, look at this
beautiful flower I drew for you.

That is nice Cameron,

but I'm talking to uncle
Salman right now. Okay?

I love you, mommy.

I love you too. I'll look
at it later on, all right?

You know, your son there
threatened to kill me today.

Why would you say
something like that?

Because it is true.

He told me he was
going to kill me.

And you know, he had this
incredibly cold look in his eyes.

And for a minute
I just didn't know.

Mommy, mommy,
I drew you a princess.

This, I mean, this right now. This,
what you're seeing right now?

This is just a spin.
This is just a front.

I mean, you don't have any idea what this
kid is like when you are not around.

You know? I mean, he may very
well be like Damien in The Omen!

That does happen!
It is possible.

Mommy, can I sit
next to you at dinner?

Okay. That is enough.

Okay, Cameron, dinner is going
to be ready in a minute, honey.

I think you should
go back to Nevada.

I can't.

Why not?

I don't have any money.

I can't afford to go anywhere.

You are thirty-two years old and
you can't afford a bus ticket?

No.

Even if I did, it is not like I can
just get on the bus and go anywhere.

I don't have any money.
I can't get an apartment.

So you don't have a credit card?

Yes.

But it's totally...

Yeah.

Hi, mommy.

Hi.

What are you...

I came home for lunch.

Okay. We were
just about to...

I may know of a job for you.

Really?

Is it a full time job?

I don't know what it is.

It is with maintenance or
something in my building at work.

I just heard they were hiring
and I gave them your name.

Does maintenance mean
like trash pickup?

I don't know.

Well, what are we going
to do about the boys?

If it is not full time, the
boys could be in day care

for a couple of days.

You can help me
pay for that now.

What is the actual job?

Salman, look just go down
there and talk to them.

I gave them your name.

Okay. Yes. Say, "Thank you."

Thank you.

He likes me. There
is nothing I can do about it.

I don't know why I should be in
trouble because he likes me.

So I told her right to her face,
"You can't talk to me like that.

"I have been working for seven years.
And I don't have to take that."

And I don't.
And she knows that.

And he smiled, he looked
at me and I just...

So I don't care. I didn't say anything.
She didn't say anything.

That is just
the kind of person I am.

Is it my fault the other company's
CEO is flirting with me?

Or if he thinks I'm cute or smart?
Or really good with PowerPoint?

No, it is not.

She can't even do her own
PowerPoint presentation.

She can't even print her handouts
three to a page on a color printer.

But you know, because she
is the manager, it is okay.

You know, during the meeting he
said, "Who did these slides?"

Because it is the same aqua
color I use on all my graphs.

And I didn't say anything.
Because I never say anything.

You know, do I say anything?
I never say anything.

I just do my work and keep my mouth shut.
And I don't say anything.

I have a job interview here.

Job interview?

Nobody is getting hired here.

I think so. This Blunexion
in this building, right?

Yeah, well the whole
building is Blunexion.

What is left of them.

What do you mean, what is left?

Well, the market crashed

before they could get everybody
moved in, didn't it?

And who is working there now?

Ten people?
Eight?

For one little
Internet web site.

No. There are no
job interviews here.

Shit.

Are you Trout?
What?

Trout, the brother of the
receptionist, Leslie. Or whatever.

Oh, yeah, brother-in-law.
But it is Salman, not Trout.

Salmon?

Salman.
Like Salman Rushdie.

You mean, "Salman Rushdie"?

Jesus. Whatever.
Just come with me.

And thank you for
your help, Edgar.

Get the door.

Come on. Keep up.

Take a seat.

All right. I am going to be as honest
with you as I can possibly be.

I cannot get you into the 401K.

Oh, okay.

They are just barely holding
this place together, as it is.

I can't even get a haircut because of
the bullshit I'm tied into down here.

I thought this was
a maintenance position.

Look this is the last favor I'm
doing for you guys upstairs.

Now if Lyle wants to come
down here and screw me over,

let him do it to my face.

I am legally required to post this
job in the paper for two weeks.

And accept resumes from minorities
and the mentally handicapped.

Now, I will hire you. But this
is my last favor. The last one.

That's it.
You got it?

Oh, Jesus Crap Christ.
What now?

What the hell you
doing, Kathleen?

Who gave you authorization
to do this?

If you must know, Ken told me to get
someone to publicize the rental space.

How much they paying you, dude?
I don't know.

I'm just trying to bring some
revenue into the building

to keep up with the projections that
were set without my prior approval!

You know what, Kathleen? I don't
need any of your bullshit right now!

You get off my back!

So help me God, I am going
to roast you, woman.

Just get out of here!

Don't let her
manipulate you, man!

Okay.

Eat my mother-loving shit!

Good one, Kathleen. Got me
on that one, didn't you?

All right. Fuck!

Are you ready to get started?

But what is the job?

All you have to do is hand
out flyers on the street.

It is eight...
It is six dollars an hour.

And if you get someone
to lease office space,

I will give you a two hundred...

I'll give you a hundred dollar bonus.
All right?

Okay. Now, get up
and come here.

I have to work every other day.

And then half day on Friday.

Is that all right?
Yeah, yeah. Whatever.

We just need to establish a street
presence to get the word out.

Do you suffocate?
What?

In small spaces.
Do you asphyxiate?

Are you... Oh, you know,
Agorerotic or whatever?

No.

Good. Okay, just get
your feet in here.

The head is really heavy so
we will start with the body.

Wait. I'm going
to wear this?

Well, I'm sure as hell
not going to wear it.

Look, we had a shitload
of luck with this thing

at a company picnic
a few years back.

It is not like you have
to dance around.

You just hand out flyers.

Now get your foot in there, okay?
Come on.

I have to get my other shoe off.

Well then, let us do it.

Okay, other foot.
That is it.

Feels kind of weird.

Oh this thing is
going to be hot.

You are not a diabetic, are you?

Come on!

Let us go, Kabluey!

Come on, you can do it.

Just follow the
sound of my voice.

Listen to me clap.
Hear that?

Just follow the clapping.

Let us go. One, two,
three, four. Hey.

Whoa, whoa, Nellie,
whoa. There we go.

Where are we going? I'm going
to take you out front.

You have to be out
where people can see you.

Okay.

Now, I'm going to have to put
you in the front of the car.

That suit is not going
to fit in the back.

Is that your dog?
Yeah, that is my dog.

We will get to know each other
on the drive. Get into the car.

Okay. You okay?
Yeah.

All right, here we go.

Don't give any flyers to
assholes who don't look serious.

I don't want to be up
all frickin' night

Xeroxing a whole big bunch more.

Okay, here we go.

This is good.
This is fine.

Okay, got the door.
Okay, but...

I have you, come on.
It is real simple.

Here we go.
Here we go.

Now, if it is too
slow out here today,

we will move you further
out tomorrow. But...

Okay. Wait, you don't want to forget these.
No point in being out here

if you don't have these.
Here you go.

Okay, but...

Okay.

Here, just hang on to them.
I don't have any hands.

Oh, for Christ sake!

There you go.
There you go.

Now you are good.
You are fine.

Okay. Now if you
need me...

Oh shit!
My dog is puking.

Well, if you need
me, just call me.

I don't have a cell phone.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You need a ride back
at the end of the day?

Yes.

All right, I'll come back
and get you. Jesus.

Bastards!

You Blunexion assholes!

You steal my practice!
You ruined my life!

How could you do this to me?

Give me back my life savings!

Asshole!

Flyer. Flyer.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Help!

What the hell is that?

What is that?

What is up buddy,
what are you doing?

I'm working.

Are you guys interested in
renting some office space?

You are renting parts of
this field as office space?

Oh, no.
No, no, it is...

It is a building down the road.

I mean, I don't know if
you can see it from here.

God damn, this is trippy.

It is back over there, and if you're
interested, that would be great.

Hey, you hot in there, man?
It is like mad hot today.

Yes. You want
something to drink?

Oh sure. That would
be great. Thanks.

Jay, give me one of those brews.

Dude.
That echoed.

Here, hold out your hands.

Here, hold on. There you go.
Squeeze it, man.

Can you feel that?
Yeah.

- Good luck, man.
- Okay.

Good luck, bro.

Thanks guys.
See you later.

Bye. Thanks
for the beer.

I will be here hanging out.

So, how was it?

What are they having you do?

Hey!

What the hell are you doing?

How do you know it was him?

How do I know it was him?

Who else would it be?

Oh, and you
should have seen today.

He was totally
checking me out again.

But he can't make a move, because data
streaming is a very small community.

And everybody would know.
But he was checking me out.

So I just went up to him, "We
should have lunch sometime."

Just like that.
Totally casual.

You should have seen him.

Oh, he will call.
He will. I know he will.

He is such a catch. Oh
my God, is that a deer?

So, it's like you live nearby.

And you could, like, get in your
car and drive to the office.

And you have some office space.

And then come in every day.

Office space for rent.

Are you alive?

What do we do?

You are going to be okay.

We can't call your mom.
No, you are okay.

You know, it is not like he can ask
me out even if he totally wants to.

Which he does.
Trust me.

You look kind of strange today.

Kind of greenish, are you okay?
Because I don't want to get sick.

Listen, can I ask
you a question?

Are you a clown?

What?

What do you mean?

No.

But do you do
children's parties?

I don't know.

Well, as you can see, I have a
bunch of kids who love you.

They will only let me drive them
home on this road just to see you.

Anyway, we are having a party
at our house this weekend.

So, I was wondering
if you are available?

Yeah. But I don't...
$50.

Oh, I mean...
$75.

It's not that I...
No, you don't have to.

$100. Final offer, okay?
The ponies are ridiculous.

You know what,
let me get you my card.

Actually can you put it in my hand?
My real hand.

Oh, really? Okay.

Thanks.
Call me.

If you are not interested.

In fact call me,
either way, will you?

Uh... Sure.

Hey, sorry do you know
what time it is?

6:27.

Really? Because my ride was
supposed to be here at 5:45.

Talk to you soon.

Okay. Bye.

Hello? Hello!

Hello?

Great.

Hello?

What was that?
I don't know.

Hello?

Coalition forces there
have recovered two bodies.

We are going now
to APN's Leslie Newton

who has covered
this story in Baghdad.

And Leslie, could you describe
the scale of the search

for these two men
over the last several days?

About eight thousand American
forces, as well as Iraqi security forces

are involved in this huge effort

to try and find
the men from there,

about fifteen minutes
after the attack took place.

I am going to kill you.

And now, Leslie, we are told
their bodies have been located.

Which leaves us
with many questions.

Some of which you may be
able to answer today.

And some of which you may not.

Who took them? How were they treated?
Were they tortured?

What condition were they in
when they were found?

Where are the bodies now? And have the
families of the soldiers been notified?

I want ice cream!

You have had enough sugar today.

No I haven't!

Whoa.

Would you like to try our
delicious new fat free Gouda?

Would you like to try our
delicious new fat free Gouda?

Yeah!

Listen, will you run in there and get
some plastic wrap and sandwich bags?

Okay. What are you
guys going to do?

We are going to get
our faces painted.

Okay, over there?

Yeah.
All right.

I'll go in, buy the stuff

and meet you back right
there in two minutes.

I'll be right back.

All right, come on
you guys, let us go.

All right, don't step in it.

Sandwich... Sandwich...
Sandwich bags.

Oh, excuse me. Could you reach a
few boxes of that tin foil for me?

Yes. Here you go.

Thank you very much.

Hi.

That will be $8.09.

I don't have any money with me.

Can I just run outside,
and I'll be right back?

You want to just take it?

What? No.

It is okay, our inventory
system is totally screwed up.

No.

Hey, you want some watermelon?

Not that bruised.
Pretty tasty.

No. I'll just... My sister-in-law...
I'll be right back.

And where do you
think you are going?

Get your butt back out there.

Oh, you think that is funny?

Okay then, why don't you take
second shift inside Mr. Fromage?

What? Oh, come on Frank. No!

Hey, I need some
money for the stuff.

It is in my purse, behind me.

Wait.

Here.

Okay. Thanks.
I'll be right back.

God damn.

Well, what in the hell
is the service pump?

Hey, Kathleen?
What?

Oh, it is you.
What do you want?

Are you working today? Crap, I
didn't make any new flyers.

I'll tell you what, just go out anyway.
Just make yourself known.

Do you know anything
about electricity?

Actually, I'm not working today.

I just wanted to know if I could
borrow the suit for a few hours.

Borrow the what?

Sorry!

Jesus Christ, relax, bitch.

Now what did you say?
Can you borrow the what?

The suit. I want
to borrow it, briefly.

For what?
Well there is this party.

And this woman will pay me to be
there and entertain, in the suit.

You are not going to get
jizz on it, are you?

What? Oh, no.

Is this one of those plushy things?
Because I don't know about that.

I mean, unless you want to pay for
the dry cleaning. No. Even then, no.

No, it is just
a kid's birthday party.

I'll just be there
for like an hour.

I could use the money. And I just
thought I'd ask before I took the suit.

Just bring it back in one piece.

Okay.

And clean...

Bring it back clean.

Okay.

Clean.

Shit.

Oh. I'm sorry, I didn't realize
this was a changing room.

Oh. Hello.

Are you working here?

Today I am.
We are catering this.

What are you doing?

I'm the
entertainment for the kids.

Just like John Wayne Gacy.

No, I'm just getting paid
to be here for the party.

Mmm-hmm.

Look, can you do my zipper
and help me with the head?

I can't get in and out
of this thing by myself.

All right everybody, I have a big surprise.
Have a seat. Have a seat.

Are you ready?
Ready? Here we go.

Yay!

Come on,
let us take this outside.

And my dad, he is on a boat
and he went to the desert.

And there are tanks. And he can
blow up stuff if he wants to.

He can do stuff, like he
can blow up Cactuses.

Hey! A pony!

I heard about the accident.

No, I didn't invite them.

Apparently, the neighbors have
some sort of restraining order.

No, it is
a lovely party, really.

I just have to get
ahold of my locations.

Great work. Can you stay
until after the ponies go?

Here, have a piece of cake. And
don't let me forget to pay you.

Boo-freaking-hoo,
I feel so sorry for you

because you have
eight zillion dollars

and your company went under.

I mean, I'm just not
that sympathetic to him.

I'm good. I'm better.
I have been running.

Like twenty five miles a day.
I can probably do a triathlon.

Believe me,
I heard it firsthand.

Well, you know,
I know it for a fact.

He has been gone forever,
these things happen.

That poor guy. When does
he come home from Iraq?

Well, it was supposed
to be a few months ago.

But you know, they extended
everybody over there.

I saw that graph in USA Today.

Oh yeah.
So terrible.

Do you think he has any idea?

Tell me, tell me...

What I heard was that they have
probably been together the whole time.

Even before he left.

Liz says she is going to leave
him for Brad, her boss.

Can you believe that?

If she was smart
she would leave him

before what's-his-name
gets back from Iran.

Iraq.
Oh, whatever.

And they have two kids, right?
Yes.

Oh, Rita! Hi! How are you?
Oh, my God.

She just turned to him and
said, "I want out of the marriage."

I just don't enjoy
myself anymore, you know?

I can't even answer the phone.

I just sit there
in the darkness.

I need a drink.

Okay.

What do I do?

Nice seeing you guys. Bye-bye, buddy.
Jamie. Good to see you.

I wonder where their mother is?

Oh, where do you think?

Are you going
to drive them home?

Please. I'm sure
John will, eventually.

You think I can call them a cab?

Is that inappropriate?

Oh my gosh, a key.

You are so bad.
No, me? Please.

I mean seriously. Don't they have
a nanny or an Au pair living with them?

Oh yeah, but have you seen him?
He is totally bizarre.

I can't handle it.

You have to hire good help.

It is all about good help.
Poor kids.

Damn it.

Hi.
Hi.

Come in.

You were inside there?

Yes.

That thing was you?

Uh-huh.

Okay now, are you guys
ready to go home?

Yes.

Oh, hi. I'm here to pick
up Cameron and Lincoln.

And you are?
Their uncle.

Right. Well, I don't
know where they are.

Oh, here they are now.
Here you go.

Coincidence.

The head didn't fit
in the trunk.

So I just stuffed it
under the seat.

Okay. Okay. So, thanks.
That is all. Thank you.

Oh. And also, Barbara,
the woman with the thing.

She thinks that you have
gained a lot of weight.

But I think that, that is just
because she was talking to Nancy.

Who says that Jane is
sleeping with your husband.

And you don't know
about it. Okay, thanks.

What?

Hi, Leslie.
Hi.

Oh... Oh,
the party is over.

I know, I'm sorry.
How are you? Hi.

Hi, Leslie.
How are you?

Good.

So, I just came to get the kids.
Are they playing?

Oh, no, no.
They are gone.

That Salamander...
Salman.

Whatever his name is.
He came to pick them up.

I thought you knew.

No, I did. I did.
I just wasn't sure.

All right. Well
do you want to stay

and have a glass
of Wine or Chai?

I have to get going.

But thanks anyway.

Say hi to Harold for me, Beth, okay?
I will.

Bye, Betty. Thanks a lot.
Rain check, okay.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

Okay. The fire engine
light is on.

And let us see, we have the
curtains half way open.

The teeth are mostly brushed.

And your story book
is right here.

I'm not going to read it. Your mom
will do that when she gets here.

I think that is it.

So we are ready for bed.
Time for bed.

What are you doing?
What is going on?

We have a question.

Okay. What is it?

Can you fly?

No.

Well, can you shoot
lasers out of your eyes?

What? No.

Melt him. Melt
him with your eyes.

Quick before Mommy gets home.

Hey, hey. Hey. No.

I'm not a bad guy.

I'm for good.
I'm a good guy.

You are here to protect us?

Yes.

And mom?

Yes. For now.

Here, read us our story.

Okay.

No, you.
Let's cover you up here.

Hello?
Salman? Hello?

Oh, there they are.
Okay.

Peppie tonight?
No, no.

Here we go, let us
put him in there.

I got to the party a little
late to pick them up.

And they were gone.

No, I got them.
Well, I figured.

Yeah.

Thanks.

- Okay, here you go.
- You go to bed.

I'm going to go to bed.

Do you have their book?
The story book?

Yeah. We did that.

Okay, okay. Good night.
Good night.

You.
Okay, you go to sleep.

And this goes right here.

Okay. Now,
which night light?

Anubis, Egyptian jackal god,
or melted football shape?

Melted football shape.
Egyptian.

Yeah so, they are asleep now.

And you know
I have Wednesday off.

So I thought maybe I could
take them to the zoo.

On Wednesday.

I think they would like that.

When are you leaving?

What do you mean?

Well, you must have enough
money for a bus ticket now.

But Noah doesn't get home
for another four months.

And?

Well, I thought you said you
couldn't afford the day care?

I think I can probably
manage it now.

My boss gave me a raise.

Well, I don't mind staying.

It is up to you, I guess.

Her? That whore
can piss off!

I don't know who
she thinks she is.

Feeding me all that
bullshit every day.

Oh yeah, she is going to sleep with him.
And then he won't call her.

And who is going to have to
hear about it every day?

That bitch. I'm really tired
of her yakking all the time.

Why would I care?
I don't know her.

She just yaps all the time
about how wonderful she is.

And about how great this guy is.

Anyway, what is
going on with you?

Did you get that thing
burnt off your head?

Oh, wow.
What is this?

Hey.

Hi. Are you selling
fireworks or something?

Berries?
I work for Blunexion.

We are renting out office space.

Oh. I see.

Come on.
Let us go.

Hey, this guy works
for your company.

Yeah. A shit-load of good he does us.
Come on, let us go.

Well, very nice to meet you.

What the hell is that?

Jesus, those flyers don't grow on trees.
Pull it together, huh?

So anyway, have a nice day.

Hi.

I'm ready.

Say cheese, assholes!

Come here, you!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Ha! I didn't feel
that at all!

Stop it!

Whoa! You!
You get away from her!

You paged me?

Leslie, call the police.
We are being attacked.

By cheese! And that blue
thing is trying to kill us.

Look at these Polaroids.

He is sleeping with her.

They were about... Look at this photo.
He was about to have sex with her.

Right before we got here. He
is having an affair with her.

He is having an affair
with both of you.

He is a bad guy. You can't
leave Noah for him.

What are you doing? They
have two kids at home.

He is sleeping with her too.

He is sleeping with both of you.

You can't leave Noah.

You stay the hell away from her!

What is going on here?

No.

I love your brother.
Okay.

I wasn't in love with...

Yeah. That is okay.
It is okay.

Okay. I wasn't going
to leave Noah.

Yeah. It is okay.
I believe you.

I wasn't expecting this.

That Noah would just go away.

I mean, I knew it could happen.

Abstractly, I knew
it could happen.

I didn't think it would
actually happen.

That I would be this war bride.

I mean, and then he was
just gone. Just gone.

And Brad...
And I just...

A year and a half is
a really long time.

Mommy.
Yeah?

The lizard is gone.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I love your brother.
I do. I do.

Yeah, I know.

I do.

I believe you.

Cameron, what did we
say about the hammer?

It is my fault.
I gave it to him.

Oh.

Do you want me take it away?

Probably not a great toy.

Okay. Sorry.

It is all right, thank you.

Is that too tight?
Okay.

Okay. Go get
your coats on.

Get your coats, we have to go.

Hey, guys cut it out!

Cameron, help your
brother up and apologize.

And?

Sorry, friends forever.

Let go.
Stop hugging me.

I thought we were
going to pick him up?

It is okay.

Okay, go on. It is okay.
That is your dad.

It is okay. Go on.
