Animal Kingdom

What's she taken?

Uh, heroin.

Hello.

- Yes? - Um... it-it's-it's J.

J who?

Uh, Josh.

Josh, what's it been, baby?

10... No, it's been 11 years.

- How are you? - Um, yeah. I-I'm good.

Um...

Mom OD'd.

She died.

Oh, Josh.

Sweetheart, why don't you just go and pack up your things?

Okay.

Uh... d-do you know where we live?

Is that all you got?

Uh, yeah, and my bike downstairs.

Come here. Give me a hug.

Yo...

Julia up there?

No.

Your moms owes me $90.

The taste I gave her yesterday wasn't a handout.

- You got $90? - No.

- Huh? - No.

Tell her I don't get paid, I'm coming back tomorrow...

draggin' her by her hair out to the corner.

I want my money.

Who was that?

Uh, it was nobody. It's just a neighbor.

Why don't you get your stuff out of the truck?

God damn it.

I'm gone for an hour...

Son of a...

Whoo!

My cupcakes are ruined.

You can't do one simple thing?

You told us to come over, not to do the cooking.

Well, that's what the note was for. Can't any of you read?

You remember your uncles.

- Don't you, J? - Hey.

Hey, how you doin'?

Really sorry about your mom, man.

Oh, thanks. You too.

Hey, it's been forever.

Barely recognize you.

That's 'cause he was like 5 the last time you saw him.

Remember you and Julia were high and like, really going at it.

Oh, right, yeah, she just threw something at you. Uh...

- Uh, ah, coleslaw. - Coleslaw, she threw coleslaw.

- Of course. Amazing. - Guys!

- Guys... - What?

Shut up.

You want a beer or somethin'?

Oh, no, thanks. I'm-I'm good.

Dinner will be ready in an hour.

Good thing I didn't leave the roast in your hands.

How about I whip up another batch of cupcakes, chocolate or vanilla, J?

Uh, I'm not really that hungry.

Hey, you want a real drink then?

We got tequila, we got gin.

Uh, I'm... I'm really... I'm really tired so...

Course you are, baby.

You had a rough day.

You go on in and take a nap. I'll save you a plate.

Okay, thank you.

Show J to Pope's room, Deran.

Yo...

See you later.

So, um... do y'all still live here?

Uh, no, we all got our own places.

I don't know. We crash here when we feel like it.

Helps keep Smurf happy, you know?

Smurf?

Your grandmother.

Ah.

Clothes are in the closet.

Um, thanks, Uncle Deran.

You're not seriously gonna call me that, are you?

What if he does, bro. You've been called a lot worse.

Got this TV out of the shed.

Can't have you livin' in squalor, man.

Oh, thanks.

Just gotta find a right bracket and put it up.

Cool.

Those your only shoes?

Yeah.

Dude, you can't be wearing those around us.

Yeah, get some decent Kicks, man.

Yeah, you wanna get some Nike Zooms or some Dunks.

But not the orange ones, okay?

- Those are just gay. - Um, thank you.

Cool. Get some rest.

Hey, hey, have you lost your mind?

Don't bring your dogs here if you can't clean up after 'em.

- I almost stepped in it by the pool. - It-it's insane.

I mean, what makes you think that we can trust this kid?

I mean, we-we... who knows what Julia put in his head? I mean...

She was too high to put anything in his head.

And-and if you're wrong, what?

Well, I-I guess a decade or two Folsom never hurt anybody, right?

- Uh, shit. - Hmm?

"Don't take stupid risks."

That's what you're always saying.

This isn't stupid? Right before a job.

You just gonna stand there?

Huh?

Yeah, look, I don't know, Smurf...

Kid seems okay, but i-it's not a good time to have him around. It's just not.

Okay, stay on him tomorrow. Just suss him out.

What...

just take him to iHop* and-and ask him if he's gonna screw us?

That's all you can think of?

And if he's not wearing a wire, what, he just...

he's a part of it all now, what...

- W-w-we don't owe this kid shit! - Hey, shut up!

All of you.

Now what's the matter, my baby boy?

Are you afraid he's gonna get more attention than you?

Suss him out.

Are you too thick to figure that out?

You want to be a leader?

Make a decision.

Don't be a pussy and play both sides.

The kid is in until I say he isn't.

And the next one of you to say a word will not get a share of this job.

Not a penny.

Test me. Go ahead.

And clean that dog shit off my deck.

_

That's where we could hit the security cameras,

but the alarm is a different story.

There's about 40 seconds delay, so we should be fine.

Wow, I sure would step over you if I saw you in the gutter.

Hope that means you slept well, baby.

How about those sheets, huh?

500-thread count, just tell her you noticed.

Uh, they were great. Thank you.

Only the best for my boys.

Son of a bitch.

Sit down, baby. You must be starving.

Uh, could I just start with coffee please?

Right there in the pot.

Hey, what did I say?!

What the hell did I say if it woke me up again?!

Huh?!

- Just do it already, man. - Yeah,

- do it already, man. Yeah. - Yeah?! Yeah?

Wh-Where is that hammer?! Where is that hammer?

- Huh? - Can't you just smash it on the floor?

Oh, you don't think I'll do it! No, I'm gonna do it!

- Do it. You bought it. - Yeah, fine!

- No, I didn't! - Yeah, actually, you did.

You always forget my birthday.

I bought it for you and I gave it to me.

I wrapped it up really nice and I loved it, baby. I still love it.

Gimme a kiss.

Will your friends be joining us for breakfast?

Sure as hell hope not.

No bacon and eggs?

You know, I sh... I should probably go to school.

You can't go to school on an empty stomach.

That's fine. I'll grab something on the way.

Your mom just died, man. That's a free pass.

Yeah, there's a six-foot left at San Onofre. Isn't that right, Craig?

Yeah.

Should be killer, man. You should come.

- You surf? - I get by.

Are you going too?

Nah, I stayed the night. I'm gonna go back, check on my kid.

Aww, give my love to Cath and the baby.

Will do.

What do you say, J?

Wanna get a little closer to God?

Um... no thanks.

I'm good.

Is he going to do this the whole way?

Yeah, unless he bites it.

Oh, you just get by, huh?

Carved that up pretty good, man.

I get lucky sometimes.

Yeah, or you're just liar.

Ah, look at these assholes.

Gonna waste this.

Hey, hey, you on the right!

What the hell?

Shit!

What the hell was that? Ever heard of surf etiquette?

Yeah it means jank-ass rookies like you should go find a beginners break, bitch.

- Move on! - Like what, you own it?

Ocean belongs to all of us.

Trailer-trash losers.

- You bat, I'll beat. - Yeah.

Okay, here we go.

Just drop in earlier too, man.

Dude, look at my straps.

Asshole, hey!

- Hey, hey, hey - Asshole!

Cut my rack straps?
