The first 200 lines.
-You think he sees us? -No, he can't see us.
But trust me, he can feel us watching.
Pop? Oh, that's a big one, Pop. That's a big one here.
Okay.
He showed up.
Ten-two. Come on, kid, you can do it.
He's circling that little alcove right there.
This is all you, Kale. That's it.
Try to put it right in front of him. Right in front of him.
See, you're talking to me, and you're messing me up, Dad.
Okay. Don't spook him.
-Come on. There. -There we go.
Oh, that was perfect.
Oh, he's taking it. Look, he's following it.
Easy. Easy.
Dead drift. Dead drift.
-Oh, you gotta be kidding. -Easy. Easy. Come on, baby, take it.
-Take it, baby. -Bite, bite, bite!
-He bit, he bit! -Okay, easy.
-That's it. Tip up. Tip up. -Okay, okay.
Do l let go? Do l let the line go?
No, don't panic. Just let him take it. lf he wants to take it, let him take it.
-Tip up. That's it. -He got it. He's biting.
l know. No, he's got it, baby. Come on.
Okay, reel him in slow. Nice and slow. Hold him.
All right. All right.
-You gotta be kidding me. -That's all right.
lt's okay. You did everything you could.
-This is ridiculous. -Yeah, no, it's fine.
You did everything you could. Sometimes they just get away.
Come on, let's take a break. Come on, it's all right.
lf l can't catch a fish, l don't know what l'm doing out here.
-Beats working, right? -What?
Hold that. l said, it beats working.
You're a writer. You work from home. You ain't got it that tough, come on.
-Here you go. You got it? -Yeah.
You know what?
l really appreciate you bailing on your friends
to spend some time with your old man.
lt's not like you forced me to be here, Pop.
-No, l know, but l appreciate it. -l appreciate it.
Anything you want to talk about? Anything...
-What? What? -No, it's just...
-ls this that moment? This is that... -Never mind.
-No, no, this is that father-son... -No, never...
-No, l'm in. -Forget l said it.
l got something. Here's something. You got a keen eye for this.
-You're not gonna tell Mom? -No, l won't say anything.
No? All right. l'm having a kid.
Yeah. You know, your little boy's growing up.
l got a girl pregnant, and now l gotta go visit her.
She lives in Reno. l don't know how l'm gonna get there.
l'll probably have to take Mom's car.
But we're gonna live together. We're gonna move into a trailer park.
Yeah, her name's Shirley. She's real great.
-Yeah? She cute? -Of course.
Yeah. Good. That's all that counts. Smart-ass. Let's fish.
l'm gonna catch one before you.
Yeah, but l don't mess with you while you're fishing. That's the deal.
No, Ma, we drained the entire...
Literally every fish that was swimming in the river is now in the trunk right now.
-You're kidding. -No, l'm not kidding.
Yeah, are you sure you two aren't stopping off and buying a fish,
like you did last time?
What?
Are we gonna stop off and buy fish, like the last time?
No, no. Ma, come on. We know you're too savvy for that.
Oh, come on, look at this guy.
Oh, come on! Jackass!
-Hey. -No, no, no. No, not you, Mom.
-l'm sorry. -Give me the phone.
Hey, babe, you should have seen him today.
We got enough fish for a week.
-How long do you think you'll be? -l don't know. About an hour?
Forty-five...
Kale!
Oh, God.
Kale, are you okay?
Dad.
Kale!
Dad?
Move it!
Yeah, keep dreaming, perv.
Ronnie!
Señor Brecht?
Kale.
So, Kale,
think you can stay conscious long enough to tell us
your plans for the three wondrous
summer months ahead?
Do you want me to stand up?
Summer months.
l don't know what you just said. l didn't read that far in the book.
Did you do the homework or not?
l guess not.
You guess not?
l don't know who you think you are,
or who you think you're dealing with.
You can't give me a straight answer, fine.
Give me one good reason why l shouldn't fail you
right now.
What would your father think?
No, Kale! No, no, no!
Okay, Mr. Brecht.
You're six months shy of 1 8.
That means the Assault Two charge you've pled guilty to carries a maximum
of one year in juvie.
With these priors, you're up to three.
Losing a parent isn't easy,
which is why l'm sentencing you to three months house arrest.
Mr. Brecht, l just cut you a break.
Don't test me.
Okay, you're all set to go nowhere.
Now, green means you're good, you're in the safe zone,
which covers about a 1 00-foot radius from this guy.
You unplug it, the police come immediately.
He's like a modem.
He gets a constant GPS signal from Mr. Bracelet
that goes through your phone line to the monitoring systems downtown.
So they know where you are, where you've been
and what you're thinking, 25/7.
-What if he accidentally goes beyond... -Red light flashes.
You got 1 0 seconds to get your butt back to green, or else.
Or else what? The execution squad shows up?
And they don't bring blindfolds.
lt's tamper-proof and waterproof.
So don't try to stick your foot in a bucket of water and hop across the line.
lt won't work, and you'll look stupid.
Now, here's the instructions. Here's my card.
Thank you.
Are you all set up to pay the incarceration fee, Mrs. Brecht?
-No. -$1 2. Every day.
l accept all major credit cards.
Great.
My wallet's right over here.
Officer.
-l'm sorry, Mrs. Brecht. -Thank you, really.
Gutierrez?
Your Spanish teacher,
he's my cousin.
Oh, one more thing. Listen up.
House arrest might sound like a breeze,
but l've seen many a folk get a bit loopy after too long.
Some afterjust a day or two.
So find constructive things to do to keep yourself busy.
Boom! Nice shot.
Okay, get my left flank. There's two more at the entrance.
Let me jump on the M60. Cobra's at 3 o'clock.
-Just get your position and hold it. -Do it now, man!
Just get your position and hold it. Go down to the bottom entrance.
Okay, here we go. Here it comes, here it comes.
-Just watch. Here it goes. -Shoot, now!
-Fire. -Come on!
Boom! Boom! Got it. Okay, we got that. We got that.
Now, follow me. Off the ledge. There's a secret entrance at the bottom.
Hello?
You gotta be kidding me. Hello?
Alan stops by Cheaters to discuss what's been eating at his conscience.
Well, your camera busted in on the situation that l guess l was in.
Uh-oh.
Here she comes.
Hey! Where you going?
Caught you, bro.
Here. Come around here.
What the...is going on?
-Alan? -Come on.
Man up, Alan.
-Open the...door. -Alan?
-What the... -What the hell you doing?
What the...
Explain what you're doing with Valerie's cousin?
How the hell... How the...
...Saint Tropez all the way to Cannes.
lt was so beautiful. There's nothing like it, especially from the air.
Parasail with us through the skies over endless blue water.
Then shop Cabo's maze of streets, alleyway stores and curios.
Then we'll get adventurous with the best in water sports.
And, of course, the good stuff, chicas calientes.
On Bikini Destinations, Cabo San Lucas.
Police in Madison...
-More trash TV? -No, it's news.
...1 5 miles west of Springdale have released the first photo
of 33-year-old Patricia Williams,
who may be the victim of a kidnapping.
Family members reported Williams missing yesterday
after repeated calls to her cell phone went unanswered for three days.
You canceled my Xbox.
iTunes, too.
You know what else l'm canceling?
Maid service.
Look, Kale, l'm sorry you're a felon, but this is not a vacation.
l have two open houses today.
l want you to clean up this room and clean up the kitchen.
l'll do that. Let me just check my schedule.
lf you have any information on the whereabouts
of Patricia Williams, a special hotline number
has been set up at 1-800...
lsn't that a little overdramatic?
You don't think l'm just gonna plug it back in?
Dramatic?
