( playing classical music )

Stop it!

Stop it!

It's not time
to do that right now.

But it's beautiful.

It's not time to do it,
I told you--

I told you...

to do your homework.

Go to your room, go to your
room, go to your room.

Go to your room, go to your room.
Hey... Daddy!



Go to your room,
go to your room!

Go to your room,
go to your room.

This is bullshit.

Can someone help me at all?

Yeah, I'll help you.

Thank you very much,
I appreciate it.

So I was-- I was wondering
about this DVD player.

Yeah?

Well, does it play just
Blu-ray or regular DVDs?

Uh...

I'm not sure.

You want to know
if it plays DVDs?

No, I--
( cell phone ringing )

Hello?
Hey.



I was helping you.
No, you weren't.

Hello?

( beeping )

( man )
Excelsior C.K.

Excelsior?

Oh, yeah.

Hello... Louie.
( static in distance )

Uncle X, hi, how are you?
I am well.

How are you yourself?
I'm okay.

I'm kinda--
I'm kind of busy right now.

I am busy myself.

Shall we hang up?
No, no.

I'm-- I'm sorry.

I'm coming to New York and
I wonder if we could meet?

Oh, uh...

We should have lunch tomorrow.

Do you accept?

You know, I have--
I have my kids with me.

I guess I could get
a sitter, um...

Very well, then.

Meet me at the Russian Tea Room
at 2:00 p.m.

Okay.

I look forward to it, Louie.

( beeping )

( sighing )

Oh, jeez...
( laughing )

Shit!

Luther Vandross, right?

Cool.
Excuse me.

Yes, sir.

Are you the manager here?

One of your employees
just assaulted me.

That's pretty serious.
Mm-hmm.

Will you come this way?
Yeah.

Get security to
meet me at the office.

Okay, so this was about
20 minutes ago.

Can you see which
camera you were near?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's us right there.

Okay.

( beeping )

Is that me?

That's not me.

Yeah, man, that's you.

That's what I look like?

Mm-hmm.

All right, okay,
see what he's doing?

See?

Okay, now watch what happens.

( laughing )
Shit!

Clearly, he acted
inappropriately.

How would you like to proceed?

Do you wish to press charges?

( chuckling )

Thank you very much.

Thanks a lot.

( laughing )

Show me that shit again.

Is this closed?

( Excelsior )
Louie, Louie.

( chuckling )

Hello, welcome.

Come, sit.

Ahh...
Hi.

Hi.

Hi.
How are you?

Hi.

You are-- you are in
show business now?

Yeah, yeah.

Then tell me.

Tell me all about that.

Well, it's-- well,
it's going pretty well.

I got this show and--
That's wonderful.

Listen, why I want to see you--
Okay.

I was in Boston yesterday

because I bought
a credenza in Geneva.

They're representing Mexico

at an international
finance-analysis conference

and I was invited to the palace

of some sort of duke.

He had this wonderful credenza

and I asked him about it
and he said...

Well, he was this
kind of man-- hmm--

who has a hunting dog
by his side

and boots, you know?

You know, like... like
this kind of man, you know?

( laughing )

You know?
Okay.

( chuckling )

And so this duke,
I said to him,

"What a wonderful credenza."

And he says, "I must
make you a gift of one."

( chuckling )

You know?

This-- this kind of...

"Mmm, mmm, mmm..."

And so he gave me one

and I had it shipped to Boston

and I'm having it redone

by the most excellent

historical carpenter in Boston.

And while I was in Boston,
I saw your father.

Yes.

Your father.

Do you know what he told me?

No.

Waiter.

We'd like two Cornish hens
and some water.

Listen, my-- my--

When I was a boy, I had a horse

given to me by my father,

your abuelo.

And when I went away to school,

I gave that horse to your
father to care for

and in three months,
he let my horse die.

Yeah.

So...

Louie, let me
ask you something.

When a man has intercourse
with a prostitute

and he covers his organ...

with protection

so that he won't catch her
wretchedness,

he's acting in
the interest of his family

so that he won't take it
home to his wife.

Hmm?

That's--
that's a question?

But...

between a father and a son,

there can be no separation.

No boundary.

A father calls, a son answers.

A father beckons, a son comes.

This is for life, Louie.

For life.

I saw your father.

He was alone.

He has no one.

I could not even look at him
and he cried to me,

"Ooh, my son, he does not
call me, does not see me."

It was disgusting,
like a woman.

Listen, can I just--

When a father--
Can I please--

Uncle X, just let me say
one thing, okay, please?

No.

You go and see your father.

You go and see him.

Louie, Louie.

Louie.

For shame.

Shame on you, shame on you.

Shame on you, shame on you,
Louie, shame on you.

Go and see your father.

You go and see him.

Yes.

Yes.

Shame.

Shame on you.

Make a bet, man.

Give me a second.

You already took 7,000.

I'm trying to
figure out what to do.

Well, then fold.

Don't tell him to fold,
I want his money.

Call.

And after all that, he calls.

Goddamn it.

I raise it five.
Five?!

How do you guys have
so much money?

That's like
the cheesiest--

I don't have five.

You could sell
your tits on eBay.

You'd get like seven bucks
for those.

Yeah, but shipping
would be, like, five bucks.

I'd clear $2.

And then I'd also have
big bloody holes

where my tits used to be.

I would still ( bleep ).
Oh...

In the titty hole?

Right in the two titty holes,
her new titty holes.

Oh, my God.

♪ Rah-rah-rah-rah-rah
rah-rah-rah... ♪

Give me a 20, sweetie.
Yeah.

( man ) I call.

Oh, you left something
in here, Jim.

Give me that, give me that, give me that.
Wait, wait, whoa.

Wait a minute,
wait a minute, wait a minute.

What is this?

Oh, my God.
Drawn by a child, I guess.

Please, please,
give me that, please.

Jim, why do you have
a child's crude drawing

of a woman with a scribbly bush

sucking a big cock?

It's not a child's old drawing.

I drew it.

( Louie ) Oh, you're gonna have
to tell the-- There's no story.

You're gonna have to tell the story.
There's no story.

You drew this?
( man ) Okay, can we play poker?

( man ) Why did you draw that?
Tell the story now.

Because, um, I get horny

and I've always gotten horny, really horny.
Okay.

And when I was growing up,
we didn't have "Playboys,"

'cause they weren't allowed
and my mother would ( bleep )

clear my room out and so I would
just draw tits and pussies.

Like this?

Big tits and big hairy pussies.
That's been in your pocket since you was a kid?

No, stupid, I just-- I draw them regularly.
Let me get this straight.

You jack off to your own

drawings of tits and pussies?

That's a lot of work
to get a nut off.

I think it's sweet.

( laughing )

You still draw
like a little kid.

I know..
All right, all right.

This is new, this is new.
Yes, it's new.

This is contemporary work.
Yes, it's contemporary work.

And you jerk off to this?
Yes, I do.

So what?

Can you go to the doughnut shop
and get me a cruller?

( all laughing )

Did you guys see this article
in "The New York Times"?

It was about ancient forms
of pornography

and they're talking about
wood carvings from the--

( all ) Whoa!

That's it, I'm out.

Oh!
Ugh.

I know I tell a bad story,
but wow.

( man ) I can't play ( bleep )
cards with you people,

throwing up all over
the... place.

( woman )
Sweetie, are you okay?

I'm sorry,
I don't know what happened.

( Jim ) Jesus, Louie, you got me
right in the face!

We ll.
So what is this?

Well, here's the thing.

Rashes and vomiting don't
usually go together.

And if they do, it's usually...

fever, aches and pains

and you don't have any of that.

No, I actually feel
pretty good except for

I have a rash and I'm vomiting
for no reason.

Right, so, you know, what we
look for in cases like this

is what else might be going on.

What-- what else?

You know, what else
is going on?

What do you--
what do you mean?

In your life, what's new?

Any new stress?

Oh, uh...

Well, no, I mean,
I got kids and I work,

it's hard sometimes, but,
y'know, boilerplate misery,

alone in the world,

might as well be a maggot
sucking a dead cat's face,

what's the point?

But nothing new.

Have you eaten anything
recently

that you're not used to?

I had corn flakes yesterday,
I had pizza.

I had a Cornish hen.

Where'd you have Cornish hen?
( clearing throat )

Um...

The Russian Tea Room.

Fancy.

Yeah, I was with
my uncle and...

Yeah?

He said...

Oh, oh, boy.

I think we found the virus.
Yeah.

What did--
what did your uncle say?

Sorry.
Yeah, take your time.

Ugh.

He said...

He told me to go see my dad.

Oh.

When's the last time
you saw your dad?

Two years ago--
I don't talk to him.

But I...

What's weird is I didn't get
upset when he said it, I...

I got annoyed with him,
but I didn't-- I didn't--

Well, clearly, your body wasn't
ready to take it all in

and whatever
it is with your dad,

it's too big for your actual
conscious mind to take in

and your nervous system,

and so it's coming out your
skin and your stomach.

That sounds--
that sounds right.

I think you ought to-- I think
you better go see your dad

or decide it's okay
not to see your dad.

Either way.

I think I'm gonna...

Here, okay, okay, hold on,
I got-- here...

( vomiting )

( woman on PA ) Ladies and gentlemen,
we're making our final descent

into Logan Airport in Boston
where your father lives.

Please return your seat backs
to the upright position

and turn off and stow your...

( vomiting )

Did he just throw up?

He just threw up on the car.

Sir!

Sir!

You can't throw up on the car.

I already did, I'm sorry.

Well, sir, you're gonna
have to clean that up.

That's not your car.

Hey, listen, I'm going to
see my father, okay?

I'm a little distressed.

I haven't seen him
in two years.

Well, either
see him or don't see him.

Make a decision, be a man.

You're 44 years old.

It's your fault.

( woman on GPS )
Make a left turn on Walnut Street

to get to your father's house.

You missed the turn to your
father's house.

Okay, okay.

Why are you being such a...

little pussy about this?

Shut up.

He's your father.

It's not like he...

touched your dick or something.

No, it was nothing like that.

I just feel weird
around him, that's all,

I just don't-- I--

Why are you yelling at me?

I'm not even real.

I'm aware of that, I--

Look, I'm not trying to
argue with you.

Of course,
most people would say

that they want to be with
their dad all the time.

Oh, shit!
( tires screeching )

( horn honking )

( horn honking )

All right, all right,
all right, all right.

All right, I get it!

I get it, your life is gonna
end if you don't move now!

Jesus Christ.

You got a problem?

You wanna start something?
I'll "staht" something.

You wanna start something here?
You wanna "staht" something, you Boston ignoramus?!

You wanna "staht" something?
Ignoramus?

Yeah, ignoramus.

Yeah, I'm sick of guys
like you.

I'm glad I don't live here anymore.
Hey, hey, hey.

Your nose is bleeding.
What?

Your nose is bleeding.

Here.
Oh, Jesus Christ.

Use this.

Hey, man, I'm sorry,
I just--

I'm stressed out,
I'm going to see my dad.

Your dad?

Yeah, I haven't seen him
in about two years.

I haven't seen my dad
since he died.

I'm sorry.
Yeah.

You should think
about that, you queer.

I'm sorry, man.
All right, mush.

Keep the rag too, okay?
Okay, man.

Good luck with your dad.

Good luck, all right.

Thanks, man, thank you.
Take it easy, mush.

( breathing heavily )

( doorbell ringing )

( sighing )

( motor revving )

( beeping )

( exhaling )

( laughing )

Whoo!
