Okay, fine, fine. We bought a few chickens. Less than 30, more than 25. But the fact is Biaggio and I have been hunting and getting pretty goddamn dangerous out there. This is hypocrisy. Joe, listen to yourself. How can you sleep at night?

Look, I can deal with the fact that the chickens were store-bought. Okay? I can. But it really bothers me that the loaded potato isn't Biaggio's recipe. No. No, no, that actually really is. I.. I honestly have no idea where he's getting chives.

Wait, are you serious? It could have been Patrick's idea. No way. Oh, my gosh. Joe is the one who drove them to the movies when they were nine. Remember? Only reason they got caught is 'cause they went through a drive-through. Sunfish. Damn it. Joe is the one who tied Patrick's pet turtle to a kite. Wanted to send him up into space.

I forgot about that. Are you laughing? Are you laughing at that? It was.. it was more of a laugh of admiration. For the murder of a turtle? The turtle died, then? Yeah, the turtle died, Frank. I suppose that's a shame. The problem is Joe's a mama's boy. Clarissa was good for him. She just let him be.

Now it's just the two of us. I-I'm afraid I broke him. I mean, our sons did run away. They don't.. they don't want to be with us. They don't want to live in our houses. I guess maybe.. we did do something wrong, you know? What the heck?

Ah. Patrick is the one who set up Bicycle Olympics in my goddamn swimming pool. That was a nice $1,300 repair job. I never called you about that. Thought we were having a moment just then, Frank. And Bicycle Olympics was Joe's idea.

Joe, I love it here. I want to spend the rest of my days with you. That's an emotional fact for me. Yes, but..

Leave us, Frank. The forest is ours. You're out of your depth. You made a fool of me in front of the whole town, boy. A harlequin. He is a man grown, and his path is his own to choose. Silence, land-trunt.

Yo, bros, what did you guys do with this chicken? Melts in your goddamn mouth, right? So, um, do you guys eat the same thing every night? Yeah, a lot of chicken. They're everywhere here. - Right, Joe? - Oh. All sorts of them. Yeah, Patrick, um, he usually takes care of the gathering, you know, berries, roots. I take care of the meat and the protein. And the shopping. He's a great bargain hunter. I do the hunting. So, Biaggio, what do you do?
