We the Coyotes

Jake, Jake, are you awake?

Hmm? What's up?

Feel the air.

Wow.

Yeah, it's different.

It's not dry.

It's a different kind of hot.

I've never felt this before.

- It's kind of shiny. - "Shiny"?

Yeah.

Give me a fucking kiss.

Thank you.

Okay, 4626.

I think, I think... up here.

- Yeah. - That it?

Yeah.

Ready?

Jeanine!

- Hi, I'm Jake. - Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Well, welcome to Tarzan.

Thank you.

Well, come on in.

Sorry, hey.

Okay, the boys are sleeping, so we have to...

I'm sorry we got here so late.

Oh, no, it's fine.

Oh, my god, look at you, you're so grown up.

You look like your mom.

Oh, god, don't say that.

Okay, so, you have an interview tomorrow.

I do, yeah, 1:00 P.M. in Hollywood.

So, you should probably leave round 11:30.

Traffic can get crazy.

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking.

Great.

Is this you, babe?

Oh, man, I forgot about this picture! -Yeah.

You were so cute.

I was so little.

Well, you guys must be wiped out.

Yes. - Yes.

Okay, I'll show you to your rooms.

You will be sleeping upstairs in the guest room.

And Jake, you're going to be in Bob's office.

- There's... - Uh...

Well, we usually just sleep in the same room,

- because you know, we're a couple and all. I know.

I know, I know, I thought about it, it's just...

The boys go to catholic school, so...

Oh, I don't remember you being religious.

I'm not. But it's

not a conversation that I really want to have with them yet and the last thing I need

is for them to say anything in school. So...

Children are the future.

I can't sleep.

You didn't tell me it was a monastery here.

I'm sorry.

I had no idea that she was going to be like this.

It's no big deal.

Oh, really?

I mean, besides that,

- this ain't a bad spot to be, uh, kicking it.

Do you know if this thing has bubbles?

Uh, there's gotta be a switch somewhere.

When are we gonna make some money quick,

so we can get out of here?

Hey, in the worst case scenario,

the restaurant told me they'd hire me back

if things didn't work out here.

And I'm sure I could get you a job there too.

Jake...

But, babe, we're moving here, that's the plan.

I know. I know. It's just backup plan.

Found the switch.

Mom, Tim took the backpack.

Ow!

Oh, I was so hungry.

Right.

Me too. This is so much better than gas station breakfast.

Sure is.

So, um,

what are you going to do here, Jake?

Uh, oh, man.

Sorry. Um...

I don't know, I just want to take a couple of days, get used to the city.

Um, yeah. - Feel that out a little bit.

I've never seen the pacific, so I wanted to get onto the beach.

And maybe check out the Griffith observatory.

So I figure I'll do that.

Well, that sounds like a solid start.

Well, Jake's been working in several different fields

and he just needs to figure out exactly what he wants to do here.

Right, babe?

Yeah.

So, um, how's uncle Bob?

When does he get back?

He's good. He, um...

He's gone for another two weeks.

He's in China right now and then he's in London

and...

Somewhere else after that. I don't know, it's hard to keep track of him.

Wow!

- He's road wide. - Yeah.

He's gone, you know, half the time. Sometimes more.

Shit. That's a lot.

Ooh, Jake used a bad word.

- I'm sorry. - Shit.

Oh, oh, don't do it.

- Shit. - God! Uh-uh.

Enough with the attitude, okay?

Give me... give me the screen.

No! - Yeah.

I need to finish this game first.

You don't need to finish the game and you've been on it all morning.

That was him. I only had it for like 10 minutes.

- I'm so close. - What did I say?

You guys wanna, uh, show me the pool

I can show you guys some flips.

Mom won't allow us to go out to the pool without adult supervision.

Dylan, he is an adult, you idiot.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Mom, can we go to the pool with jakey?

- Please, can we? - Yeah.

- Yes. - Thanks.

Go put your suits on. Don't forget the sunscreen.

Okay.

All right, which one of you guys is the best?

I am.

Are you ready?

Is it cold?

Oh, my god!

Thank you. So, um...

Jake is interesting.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

How long have you guys been dating?

- Just over six months now. - Oh, wow!

Oh, my god, so it's new?

But, you're already moving in?

Um, yeah, but, I mean, we've practically been living together all summer.

Really? - Yeah.

And it seems kind of dumb to try and pay for two rents.

Yeah.

Yeah. Just...

Your mom's pretty worried, that's all.

Yeah? What is she worried about?

Him.

Well, mom decided she didn't like Jake before she even met him.

- What? - It's nothing. It's just...

Did she tell you to have this conversation me or...

No. No, come on. Do you think I would do that?

Come on.

Jump with the donut, dy.

I didn't even see you because I was already in.

- Here. - Give me the ball.

I got it.

done today?

He's not even trying to get a job. He has no future.

I know you see that.

I'm sorry, aunt jeanine...

You have to stand on it.

Just try. Are you in?

Yeah.

Do... do the thing you used to do down here.

- and I know you. I hear you and I hear...

-You're... You're not hearing me. - Both of my parents.

It's my own life, okay?

And I can make my own decisions.

Jake? Jake.

Jake.

-What? -We're gonna leave, right now. Let's go.

Oh, yeah?

Thank you.

So you want to tell me what happened in there?

You don't want to know.

Yeah, I actually do.

Well, she basically just told me that you're the biggest loser on the planet.

Your whole family thinks I'm the biggest loser on the planet.

You know, I thought it was just my parents, and now we're here

and jeanine's saying the same thing,

and it's bullshit, Jake!

Yeah, it is bullshit, but,

what are we supposed to do now?

I don't know. I guess, we get a shitty motel

for a few nights until we figure out what's next.

And how does all this fit into your little budget?

Um...

I actually have some extra cash that I think we can use.

Oh, yeah? What is it? This bit of extra cash?

Where did you find that?

You should really get better at hiding your money.

I'm sorry, I didn't know you'd be going through my shit!

Where did you get it?

Why are you so fucking nosy today?

My dad gave it to me.

Oh, he gave it to you?

Yeah.

And I'm going to pay him back. It's just like a...

Just in case.

I feel like shit.
