Can you two make yourselves a little useful around here and clean some of this stuff up?
Anything for the man of the house.
You might like some coffee.
Thank you.
I love what I made my stepsisters wear for me today.
Well, a man's got needs, starting with these, obviously.
I'm so glad you took over Dad's roles in the house.
When Dad was alive, I mean, he did lots of things, but I'm so happy Nate stepped up to the plate.
You're the best man of the house ever.
Oh, well, thank you.
Yeah, I mean, I really miss Dad, but, like, you really do a lot of things around here.
I think I'm the best one, too, but I'm happy you two agree.
The food was not that good.
You know, I've been working really hard trying to provide for you two and put it on the table.
The least you can do is make sure it tastes good, honestly.
Well, we made Daddy cook, and he was the best cook in the house.
I feel like maybe you could start cooking as well.
You and your stepsister do not know how to cook.
I'm just grateful you provide for us.
Thank you.
Did you go go-karting with Dad?
Yes.
I miss that so much.
You never take us go-karting.
That was so fun, though.
Like, whenever we would go and just race and bump into each other, it was such a good time.
Maybe you never take us to go go-karting.
Seriously.
Can we do something fun this weekend?
Um, like, go-karting?
Make a fair.
A fair?
We should skydive.
Skydiving?
Yeah.
Absolutely not.
It would be so fun.
Maybe we could go to the fair and do, like, funnel cake and all those deep-fried stuff they got.
But Dad loved that stuff, too.
I know.
Typical.
But I have to study this weekend.
Study?
I don't know.
I don't have time.
Um, yeah.
Well, when are you available?
Um, I don't know.
Maybe we could squeeze in something on Sunday?
Sunday would be good.
I don't know about Sunday.
Oh my gosh.
The weekends.
I have plans on the weekends already.
I'm a party pooper today.
Just cancel them.
Hang out with us.
Yeah.
You haven't hung out with us in forever.
Please?
Well, I could see if I could reschedule.
Yeah.
I could see if I could reschedule some stuff.
I guess it is my job to make sure you two stay entertained these days, huh?
You're always at work.
Good work.
Jade, I need you to help me do the dishes.
I'm kind of busy.
Nate, can we clean up?
Can you help us?
Yeah.
I mean, why don't you come up and clean this up?
Come here.
You, too.
It's a thing for you.
Keep up with your end of the chores around here.
Okay?
With that, we're done.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Keep it up!
Yep.
With dad gone, it's definitely more responsibilities around here, so got to keep that in mind.
Okay?
Yes sir.
All right.
Good.
Come help me clean up and do the dishes.
Okay?
Yes, sir.
All right.
You have so much to do today.
Yeah, seriously.
I don't know how we're going to get it all done.
I don't know.
Maybe if Nate helped.
But, you know.
No, please.
You won't help him anyway.
Yeah.
How's it coming along, Hamtom?
It's good. It'd probably be faster if you helped us, but...
Well, I got things to do, you know that.
I have a lot of stuff on my plate now.
Yeah.
Yeah, like, you really need to change the oil, too.
Don't forget to do that.
Yeah, well...
And the air filter.
I'll get there.
I think my coolant's out, so...
You know, Dad used to do that stuff, and now you have to stuff up.
I, uh...
I've been working on it. I'm making a list of all the stuff I gotta do.
So, I snuck into his old office and looked at his calendar, so...
I got it all marked down now.
Hi, Miss Dad.
Yeah, I miss how you did the dishes, too.
Well, you two need to accept that he's gone now,
and just appreciate that I'm here,
and appreciate that I've given you all these responsibilities.
You should be proud to have responsibilities around here.
Don't you think?
I guess so.
I guess he does pay the bills.
The man of the house.
The least we could do.
Yeah.
He's low-key right.
You hold this open for me.
You keep doing the dishes.
Whatever you say.
I guess he's low-key right.
He does take care of us.
Yeah.
He also got my textbooks.
Thanks for getting my textbooks.
Oh, he got those for you?
Mm-hmm. Yeah, it was, like, so much money.
Yeah.
Exactly.
You guys need to learn to start appreciating things.
Not everything comes easy.
Now you really sound like Dad.
Seriously.
Well, me and him have always made sure that you guys are taken care of,
and, you know, fed with a silver spoon.
That's all we know, though.
Yeah, well, now it's time for you guys to start putting in your end of the work, you know?
Yeah.
We're grateful.
Yeah.
He's always watching the same old shows Dad used to watch, too.
Really?
I feel like I've never seen him watching shows.
I feel like he's always playing his video games or something.
True.
Yeah.
I don't know how he even has time.
I know.
It seems like he always has something going on.
But he never has to masturbate because he has us.
True.
Well, you missed a spot on that one.
Did you clean that, or did you clean that?
You're bullying me today.
This is our break.
Yeah, I can't catch a break with you.
If I'm going to ask you to help me with something,
I need you to do it right the first time.
I keep repeating myself with these things.
Fine.
I mean, the furter on the dishes.
I know.
I hate chores.
You should get us a dishwasher.
Those things don't even work.
They're always clogged up.
He likes to say that we're the dishwashers.
I guess whatever the man of the house wants.
I guess he does provide a lot.
Well, what I want is for you guys to work faster.
Do you think the hot water?
The sink is, like, clogged.
Again?
Again.
Really?
Yeah.
I can't be serious right now.
Do you think you can fix it?
Can you get the wrench?
Yeah.
Do you think it's the garbage disposal?
I don't know.
This stupid thing.
Yeah, it's never worked right.
Yeah, I don't know what the heck this thing's up to.
Here.
Why don't you come give me a hand?
Look at that pipe.
It's busted.
Really?
Well, she's...
This is the same pipe that was busted last time.
Ugh.
I found a wrench.
Thank you.
It's really tight this time.
So it doesn't happen again.
Here.
Hold this.
Let me see.
No, it's the other one.
Do you think it could be, like, the garbage disposal or something?
I don't know.
This only happens when you guys do the dishes.
Do you realize that?
It's your job.
Whenever I do it, everything ends up fine.
Ugh.
Can you go get me...
Can you go get me some sockets?
Okay.
You come down here.
Hold this for one second.
Here, give it back.
This is ridiculous, though.
Every time I ask one of you two to do me any favors around this place, something goes wrong.
What do you even have to say about that?
I don't really have much to say.
Well, at least make yourself useful, then.
I'm always here cleaning up all y'all's messes.
I don't think it's that ridiculous.
Whatever.
I don't know.
This pipe seems like it's all loosened up, probably from being clogged from y'all two
not cleaning your dishes off.
I can't find the sockets or whatever.
Did you even look in the tool shed?
Yeah, I looked in Dad's shed.
Oh, my God.
We're out.
Can't you just do it without...
No, I can't do it without the socket.
We need the socket that fits for me to be able to screw the thing back on.
Sure, let me look.
You don't even know what you're looking at.
Here, hold this.
Why is all this stuff even messy down here?
Do you guys just throw everything back under here when you're done with this?
Yes.
We need all this stuff.
Yeah, but it needs to be organized so there's room for me to fix stuff whenever you guys
mess it up.
Okay, Mr. Perfect.
At least when you mess things up, if things are organized, they're easier to fix because
you can find everything you need.
Okay, I think I got it.
Lucy, get up and check this thing, make sure it works.
You come back down here and make yourself useful.
Yeah, that works.
I just gave your sister a whole speech about you guys needing to keep up with the stuff
you need to do around here better because you always do a half-ass job.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Both of you.
I don't know if it's because you're distracted by each other's conversations or if it's because
you just don't care, but I'm not going to put up with it.
I shouldn't have to put up with it with everything I do around here.
Don't you think so?
I guess you're right.
It would be better.
Here, take this.
Put it on the counter.
It's just so stressful.
You guys are supposed to help me and make things a little less stressful around here.
You said you would.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You said you would.
You really just add to it.
What was that?
We're all stressed out.
We're trying.
At least we're trying.
Yeah, but you guys, all your stress is just stuff that you should already honestly know
how to do.
My stress is all the stuff I already had to do and Dad's stuff, so I'm dealing with two
people's stress and you're two people dealing with one person's stress and you can't even
get it right.
I asked your sister the same thing.
What do you have to say about stuff like that?
You kind of have a point.
How's that?
I'm not allowed to do all of it.
Yeah, I guess you do have a point.
I agree.
Well.
It will dry me better for you.
It will dry you better?
Yeah.
And don't leave any water spots on those dishes either.
Every time you guys dry them, you don't even dry them all the way.
That's what I'm talking about with half-assed jobs.
That's an example right there.
I said it would dry me better.
And you couldn't even wash the dishes right the first time.
You left marks on them.
I know.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised.
I'm surprised.
God.
Wow.
This is so difficult.
I'm so annoyed.
So really.
I'm really mad at washing dishes.
It's awesome.
I'm definitely the better one at washing dishes for sure.
Me too.
I'm really good at washing dishes.
Blah ba Bleh.
This stuff is just getting way too stressful.
And I don't know if you guys keep up with your chores, you're going to have to start
hanging around around here.
Hang?
What?
You're crazy.
Crazy?
Well, enough of everything.
Get back to the dishes.
He's so mean.
I know.
He's just in a mood.
Yeah.
I'd say go play your video game.
That's all he really needs to do.
Just needs a breather.
I mean, I do feel bad for him.
It is a lot for one person.
I guess, yeah.
Maybe we should go help him relieve some stress.
Yeah, let's do it.
Hey sisters, get over here.
I'm just like exhausted.
I'm doing all the work.
Being the man of the house is not easy.
I'm tired, my feet hurt, my shoulders hurt.
Jade, can you get down there for me?
I'm sorry you're so tired.
I mean, I know you've been working a lot lately.
Yeah, and you know what?
These shoulders aren't going to massage themselves.
And on top of all the work I've been doing lately,
trying to hold up both of y'alls end of the bargain.
You know, I'm just trying to keep up with everything.
And I'm trying to go back to school this next semester.
Have y'all been studying?
Hard as fuck.
Maybe I should be studying a little more.
What do you mean?
I've just been lazy lately.
Lazy?
You've been lazy around the house too.
What do you even do?
It's a huge house to clean.
I don't know.
I've been sad ever since dad died.
Yeah.
Yeah, and haven't we all?
Well, I mean, how are your grades?
He worked so hard all of his life just so he could leave something behind for y'all.
I know.
He would have wanted us to enjoy it.
Seriously.
Well, you're not going to enjoy it for long the way you're spending it if you're not going
to be able to get a job because you're failing all of your classes.
It's been hard for all of us.
Give us a break.
Seriously.
Give us a break.
Life is really hard.
We're just girls.
Good girls do chores.
They make food that actually tastes good.
And they get good grades.
All that's life insurance is going away.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All this is going to y'all's semesters to pay for them.
You don't even care?
I should be better.
I should study more but.
Dad worked really hard, and you guys learn nothing from him.
You have no work ethic.
You have no appreciation for things.
We should get some credit.
For what?
Keeping the place kind of clean.
Everything you cleaned just ends up messier.
The dishes had food on them still.
The dishes you drive have water marks.
What?
marks all over I mean at least we're entertaining we're funny and entertaining and like
that's what we got from him and we bring you beers while you're playing your video just like
dad likes cheap beer well I'm not that and I'm the man of the house now so
why don't you two stop start caring about what I like a little bit
yeah I mean I have to tell you it's hard to forget about him
are we just rub that in for her make yourself useful you need to get over your bad mood I know
I'm not in a bad mood I'm just realistic you two are not as good as dad like I don't know
I guess you're like upset about that I don't know how am I not as good as dad
we got our fun sides from mom well at least I'm alive okay I'm still here
I guess he has a point let's just focus on the now like dad would have wanted yeah exactly it's
very much
of you. I know, I need to get with the program. Dad will want you to study harder. I just
like being a little immature. It's fun. No, we know, sis. Yeah, I don't think it's very
fun. Being the man of the house now, I have to put up with it. You don't really have to
put up with that much. You're always the cool sister, but it's not really cool when you
treat me like my opinion doesn't matter as much as his did. How do you think your future
wife's going to treat you, bro? We're training you. Yeah, right. My future wife is going
to do whatever I say. So you think. You'll see. Dad also used to rub an oil on us a lot
better, too. I'm doing just fine. You know what? You're trying to change the subject
right now. I can tell. I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. I'm
not surprised. I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised.
stupid. You didn't even tell me anything about your grades. Are you even passing any of your
classes? No. Have you? None of them at all? I'm kind of passing. None of them. Yeah, I mean,
I have like a 1.5 GPA right now. Jesus freaking Christ. Stand up. Do the same thing as your sister.
You could take a tip from her once in a while. Well, I mean, keeping up good with the stuff
around the house at least. Yeah, you fixed the sink really quick. Yeah, except for the ceiling.
Well, I can't fix the ceiling yet. We need to get a new ladder. The doctor said the reason dad
might have crashed his truck is from that ladder fall. It gave him vision loss, remember? That's
the last thing I want happening to me. What would you guys do if I died too? Yeah, I could run in
the family. Yeah, maybe. Bad luck with ladders. Yeah, I don't know. But we'll get a new ladder
and then I'll fix the roof.
Thank God. Yeah, seriously. What are you guys gonna do? Every time it rains, it leaks. We're
gonna study. Oh, now you're gonna study to get out of the shorts. Very convenient. You know we
need a lot of extra tutoring. It's really hard for us. Maybe you can help us out since you're
the smartest one. Yeah. Well, first I have to make sure I get the time for me to get into school
next semester. Because if anyone here is gonna pass, it's me.
And one of us has to provide for us. So. He needs time to finish his video game. You act like
you do so much, but half the time you see him play video games. Why don't you two, whatever, why not you two be a little
more helpful toward each other too? And rub that in a little bit. You're such a big booty. It takes two
people, sis. I know, I'm sorry. Just like dad like to, I don't know, his hands kind of fell a little bit over. But he definitely has good feet.
he used the cheap oil I got the good stuff for you anyway when it comes back
to this housework we got to do someone's got a change the light bulbs in the
basement it's one of the only lights in the house that you could reach if one of
you want to do that that'd be great
hard and you study so you pass some of your classes so you could get a job
yeah the job market sucks anyway bro I'm cranky because I care you guys
clearly don't care about anything including yourselves yeah and if I was
so bad like you guys say I was then like I wouldn't take care of me the way I do
how am I not as good as dad if I wasn't as good as
dad I wouldn't take care of me the way I do how am I not as good as dad if I wasn't as good as dad
what I do this don't you think I deserve some credit for all the hard work
to do around here as the man of the house yeah it's true I take really good
care of you right yeah I mean you do why can't you appreciate anything she gets
yeah well I just like I just really need some graciousness around no one is
like pulling up any end of the bargain except me well half the dishes are still
in the same you guys were supposed to finish them before you even came in here
will you ever stop writing us I'm just really stressed out
everything I do around here it just seems like one step forward and two
steps back I think if step forward you guys need to take a step back yeah
whenever the roof and ceiling is fixed whenever you get around well if I'm
gonna ride over to the store to get a new ladder could one of you at least you
know put some gas in the car or something you come open this up for your sister
well what's your plan you have to have a plan to get your grades back up I mean I
was planning on like I don't know maybe like going to like a trade school or
something and you think you're gonna get into a trade school yeah like what
skills do you have maybe I could go do hair or something isn't that like a trade
I don't know
why do you think she'd be good at that
yeah I don't know I've always been into into that stuff into hair and makeup
maybe I should go into that I'll go into nails perfect see we already have a plan
I think that market's a little oversaturated every girl that doesn't go
to school seems to be wanting to do hair and nails on each other these days what
clients are you gonna be able to get besides yourselves without any sort of
marketing strategy I don't know I go out I have friends
I'll go like hand out flyers science science for what she wants to be a
scientist scientist yeah maybe you should study the science of washing the
dishes the right way I'm sure there's some sort of equation no she wants to
like I don't know look at like self this was like a
microscope or something so what's your marketing strategy good clients um I'm
really gonna make business cards or just hand them out at businesses and stuff
yeah and your social media yeah the only thing you guys know how to do about
social media is tick tocks and hashtags that's what's at now bro yeah that's like
the whole like new age
it's all social media that's how you market yourself real proud huh I think
so we have to do something I think dad would be proud of us right now maybe of
me for taking care of you two yeah right I'll need two girls I can't even take
care of themselves to take care of me
stand up stand up get these things off of ya step on out of it you two sit
right there and think about what you're gonna do to start getting better grades
I hope y'all are coming up with a plan over there I'm going to get a sugar daddy yeah I'm
going to get a PhD you cannot be serious
I know you're good at that but you didn't
right now a sugar daddy is a great goal huh and a PhD you need to get better
grades than what you're getting just because yours are better than your
sister is not saying much at least we have a plan what's yours well I need to
put all my time into taking care of you two and I told you I'm trying to go back
to school I'm not getting enough help from you to even have the time to do
that I'm really trying to figure out a way to like get my schedule all aligned
while taking care of both of you at the same time yeah it is a lot I mean
there's two of us I'm really doing my best and I'm trying to come up with a
plan for all three of us but I need you two to contribute in what your plans
I can't just to make all our decisions
life is just really hard for us yeah our family got messed up sorry you have it
so easy oh yeah you're lucky you have both of us just admit it you guys
sometimes you aren't so bad but like it does not make up for the rest of the
time where you guys just really don't
you guys sometimes you aren't so bad but like it does not make up for the rest of the time where you guys just really don't
put in any effort around here
you can taste your sister
put it back inside of her
put it back inside of her
put it back inside of her
and while you do that
start brainstorming about other
ways that you could get into college
besides just getting a sugar daddy
or relying on a phd about
stuff you know nothing about
and if that's our best bet it is please
That's what mom and dad did.
Well, you don't even know where mom went.
She ran off.
And you already know what happened to dad.
I think you know where mom went.
We're really spoiling you for your future wife.
They'll definitely be able to wash the dishes
and do things without me asking a hundred times.
Well, you can probably get someone else to wash your dishes,
but would they do this for you?
Well, I just think you two really need to come up
with some goals in life and work toward them
and have something to strive for.
You can always be quiet.
That's because I'm the good one.
I'm the bad one, definitely.
Yeah, dad always said I'm the good one.
And the smart one.
Yeah, well, that's not saying much with this one here.
Okay, true.
Rebellious.
Give me some credit.
At least I make it to my classes.
Love some people.
Like who?
I know.
And I help you with all of the renovations.
Anytime you ask.
You have been holding the ladder
to make sure I don't fall off like that.
I'm trying to get better with a hammer.
I'm trying to understand.
That's kind of a boy's voice.
Well, we obviously have a lot of work
to do still around here.
I think.
I think at least once a week we should catch up
and, you know, do this and discuss the,
you know, all the things and make a list
and maybe we could, you know, distribute them evenly.
Yeah, like a little thing.
We can talk about it all.
Exactly.
We can maybe start getting a nice copacetic system
around here.
Yeah.
I think that would be it.
I wouldn't be saying that.
Ugh.
God.
I'm so out of shape.
Yeah.
And I mean, I'm thinking about picking up some extra classes,
too.
Yeah?
So, you should really give me a break because I'm trying hard.
Extra classes?
I'll give you a break.
You're probably saying you're going to take extra classes
just so you can be out of the house more,
so you don't have to help.
But you're probably not even going to go to them.
I should go to her classes.
I always make it.
I don't know.
That's not what your professors were saying to Dad before he died.
They were saying that you don't even show up most of the time.
And you, you show up and even when you do show up,
you don't pay a penny.
You don't pay a pension and you don't do any of the work.
It's like you only show up for the boys.
Of course.
How else am I supposed to get a boyfriend or a sugar dad?
Yeah.
You guys are ridiculous.
You're going to make a great sugar baby.
I think so.
I think it's my calling.
I don't know.
I don't think you two have a calling.
Oh, my God.
I think your calling is to help me around here and, you know,
learn how to have some responsibilities
first.
Then you can start talking about having a calling.
Oh, he never wants us to leave.
I know.
So cute.
Whatever.
He loves having us around.
Yeah.
He's like, please don't go to college.
And leave me.
Well, I mean, you guys have been talking about college for all this time and acting like
you care about it.
But nothing has showed that so far any time you guys have even taken off to go to classes.
So how about you do something?
You sit on her face.
Make yourself useful around here.
We did take dad for granted.
Yeah, you did.
You'd be ashamed of you.
You need to really learn how to, you know, care about your future.
Care about your family.
Come on.
Like, ridiculous.
I care.
Don't worry, bro.
Even when I go out to college, I won't forget you.
I have a scholarship, too.
Scholarship for what?
Yeah.
Well, are you going to be a professional soccer player?
No.
You know what?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Are you going to be a professional soccer player?
No.
You know what?
Shit is soccer.
What about the scholarship?
Yeah.
I wonder how you got that.
Dad would be proud.
Yeah, dad would be really proud.
Yeah, well, I'm just hoping you're trying to make dad proud.
I know he's looking down on us right now.
He would be so proud, especially of you.
Thank you.
I like it when you say nice things like that.
Can you tell me one more time?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Can you tell me one more time?
I'm grateful, especially of you.
Are you two going to get back to finishing the dishes or what?
Yeah.
Yes, sir.
Alright.
Well, get to it.
Can you two make yourselves a little useful around here and clean some of this stuff up? Anything for the man of the house. You might like some coffee. Thank you. I love what I made my stepsisters wear for me today....
