Tiger Orange

Something I never said.

Something I never said to you.

Dad's gonna catch you carrying on like that.

Get off my bed!

Hey, turn that music off! Lights out.

See. I told you.

Why's he get so mad'?

It's too much for him, Todd.

You gotta calm down.

Ew, what's this'?

It's mine. Give it back.

- I wanna see it! - No.

They're all guys!

Leave it alone. Go to sleep.

Scoot over!

- Get on your own bed. - No.

Todd! Seriously, stop it.

Stop!

Stop! Give it!

- I wanna see it! - You can't!

- Yes, I can! - Quiet.

What in God's name is going on in here'?!

You.. You're a nasty little boy!

It's not mine!

Shut up!

I don't Wanna hear it...

Pm not raising some Mile sissy boy...

You'll be gone and I Won't even know you...

What are people going to say?...

You ever think about us? Me and your brother?

What did you want for me'?

What did you hope for me'?

We can come back if you'd rather us-

No, no, sorry. Ignore me. I'm just... zoning out.

This is never easy.

It's been three months now.

I don't know why I'm-

Hey, come on. It takes a while to let go.

You're all set.

Oh.

It's all itemized so..

Thank you.

- Anything else'? - Uh, no. Thanks.

Wait.

Maybe I could buy you a drink or something'?

Uh... that's okay. This is our job.

Right, of course. Yeah.

Thank you.

All right, you'll need quarter round.

Eight feet each.

No tens'?

- I don't think we carry tens. - Your father had ten.

- Well, I can order. - No, just give me six of those.

Make it seven. I'll screw one up, I'm sure.

Goddamn I miss him, rest his soul.

How's the Missus'?

Good, good.

The grand kids are giving her a run for the money.

That's what they do.

Don't let him walk off with these, Ann.

Son, when you gonna get yourself

some children and a wife'?

Must be awfully lonely up at the cabin without your father.

Bring your truck around back.

José and I will load you up.

All right Don, let's just call it ninety even.

A man shouldn't live alone.

He just likes to keep focused on the store.

What?

Did it matter that I stayed?

If I had left...

like he did?

Who gave you that'?

I did.

I took it from a girl in my class.

That's a girl's toy.

I don't care.

Race you to the fort.

We've gotta level with you.

It's just not good for our relationship.

Ok. Yeah, I get it.

You deserve more, Todd.

Like what'? A foursome'?

We knew you'd understand.

It's been a great summer.

Oh, come on man, where am I supposed to...

I didn't steal anything!..

This is fucking bullshit.

Oh, give me a fucking... What is your problem'?

What the fuck are you looking at'?

Dick!

- Good morning, Mr Waters. - Hi, Christine.

Chet Waters'?

Well, all right then!

Brandon, what are you... wow.

Chet Waters.

Do you still live around here'?

Yep, same place.

- Run my dad's hardware store. - Wow. That's crazy.

Yeah. Yeah.

Are you... back for a visit or...

I'm probably gonna be here for awhile.

My mom's not doing so well.

- Oh, right, sorry to hear that. - Yeah.

A stroke, right'?

We didn't want to put her in a home

and I can work from anywhere.

Yeah, that's, that's good, that's generous of you.

I mean she's your mom... but yeah...

So... are you into men or multi'?

Oh, yeah, yeah, good.

I just... you hear so much

about iron-free formulas these days and...

yeah, I sound ancient.

Just get the senior formula and call it a day.

Yeah.

We should get a drink or something, you know, catch up.

Oh, right, I gotta get back to the store...

- Not now. - Right, yes...

What's your number'?

Oh, it's 805-555-3124.

So crazy running into you.

You look good.

Now you got my number.

- Oh. - Wow, ooh, a flip phone.

That's old school.

Ah, yeah. Just keepin' it real.

Call me.

José! I told you..

José?

Quién es José'?

He's our stock boy.

What'? You're hiring gay chulos now'?

- Dad would be very proud. - He's not...

Surprise!

Aren't you happy to see me'?

Of course I am.

Then come here, baby.

He never ever paid me on time.

I was so over that job anyway.

But man, what a send-off.

That kid had the biggest fucking... Ann!

Look at you, foxy as ever.

No wonder my dad had the hots for you.

Oh Todd, stop it.

Wow, wow, what a surprise.

- And what is... - Yeah, it's real.

Oh, what has LA done to my boy'?

LA rode me hard, Mama, but I'm glad to be home.

Chet, you didn't tell me your brother was coming home.

Oh, it's news to me.

Maybe I can get that vacation time after all.

Totally!

I can so cover for you.

I bet my brother's been working you like a horse.

He has. He really has.

Uh huh, I bet.

So great to see you.

Yeah and it Wasn't until the house cleared out

that I noticed the fucking TV was gone, man.

Thai party got massive.

I couldn't keep an eye on everything.

But you know Sam, of course,

fucking shit bricks when he got home.

I don't think I will be houses/fling for Sam ever again.

Oh, man.

Will you look at this.

It is good to be home.

Ew, you kept this'?

God, I still have nightmares

of being woken up at 5AM by this thing.

I haven't had time to change much since the funeral.

Just trying to organize the store and...

- Yeah, I don't do funerals. - OK.

Dude, this calendar is intense.

Yeah, well, nothing gets done unless I write it up there so...

Ok and that...

that is creepy.

You gonna keep it'?

No, I don't know. I just...

I don't know what to do with it yet.

How about that creek outback'?

You know he loved it up there.

Yeah... maybe.

Here.

We'll give you some time.

You gotta do it now.

It's on your calendar.

I have to do it'?

Oh yeah, I'll be long gone by then, brother.

What?

I'm just asking. This all seems kind of sudden.

Dude, there's no plan.

Why's there gotta be a plan'?

I wanted to spend some time with my big brother.

That's my plan.

Well, what happened to the money

I sent you two months ago'?

You know what, forget I asked.

I'll figure something out.
