03x08 - Solo

[bunniefuu]

(country music)

- Yes!

- I brush about twice a day, a lot if I remember.

Oh (indistinct)

So I brush my gums too.

- Oh man, can you have a little more respect for my stuff.

This bike's irreplaceable.

- I'm sorry, just look at this.

Tremor printed more of my photographs,

there's two pages of 'em.

I'm their hottest photographer now.

You call that art?

- You know what be really cool

is if they did a solo showing of just my photos.

- You need to learn to focus first.

- Hey. They're supposed to look like that. All right.

And besides who are you to criticize my photos?

Your website is a joke.

- Hey, people around the world can check out

a day in the life of Griffin Lo.

- Yeah. But who would want to?

(ripping paper)

You did that on purpose?

- Sorry.

- He wrecked my photos. What is his problem?

I mean, can't he just be happy for me.

I thought that's what being part of a family

was supposed to be about.

- How about right here by this tree?

- Yeah. That could be a nice background.

- Yeah. All right.

Whoa.

That's a good boy.

- So now if you get a show of your photos,

are you going to put our family portrait in it?

- Well, I don't know.

I've actually been playing around with this kind of

edgy focus thing.

Don't worry though. You guys,

I'm not going to do anything weird.

- Uh huh.

- Speaking of guys.

- [Griffin] High river is a place that shapes character.

I feel mine getting shaped every day.

- All right.

See how it looks now?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Now, take a look at what it looks like

when I changed the focus,

- Oh yeah, honey, honey, check this out.

- Okay.

- And I'm also working with this really great new paper.

It has this really sensitive emotion.

- So that gives you a better range?

- Yeah. Yeah. Deeper blacks and brighter whites.

- Grif, did you hear that?

- Yeah. Brighter whites.

Some people might find ranch life solitary, but I don't.

When I'm out here all alone

and the foothills and the sky stretch forever.

I feel really connected.

- [Cailtin] You're kidding me.

You're actually pretending to be alone out here.

What are you ashamed to put us on your website?

- Hey, this is Griffin cam.

Not Caitlin cam. So, butt out

- Grif.

- What? She started it.

- You two just settle down.

We came out here to have a nice family photo

and that's what we're going to do to.

(pop music)

- Act like you like him.

- Grif.

- Griffin.

- Get in the- Come on, come on.

- When I'm out here all alone.

Foothills and the sky stretch forever.

- My sister's took all my star wars action figures

out of the boxes and played with them

- [Boy] Dude.

- And they called them dollies.

They're action figures, man. Action figures.

- One time Julie, she whipped the last three pages

out of my Spider-Man number two 50.

I still don't know how that one ends.

- Yeah.

- They're your sisters.

Caitlin's my punishment.

Oh, and you should see around my parents.

Man, She suck up or what?

Anyway.

How many hits did I get?

- Three.

Your parents and us. Oh, come on, man.

That's why we've been promoting this live web event

for a week now, right?

- Yeah. But we have no event to promote.

Unless I tune up my car.

- No.

- Hey, danger's good.

- Adventure is good.

Like in Raiders of the lost ark, Indiana Jones.

- Yeah.

- When that ball starts rolling down,

that was awesome.

- Right but we're in the middle of nowhere here.

We've got wheat to the left of us, mountains-

Yeah.

I'll repel down, Devil's face.

- Excellent.

- All right.

- [Mother] They remind you and your sister.

- Yeah, but at least we stopped squabbling,

by the time we were teenagers.

- Well, honey Griffin and Caitlin didn't grow up together.

Whereas they had,

they would have settled a lot of their differences

a long time ago.

- I suppose.

- I have this image of Caitlin and the playpen

and her Dr. Dentons, hitting Griffin with a rattle.

- Okay. How are you doing there, Boy?

Let's have a look.

- So what's the verdict.

- This hoof is definitely cracked

We've gotta take him this ferrier.

- There goes the afternoon.

- Devil's face is a treacherous descent.

The reason it's called Devil's face

is because of you squint and the sun hits it just right.

It kind of looks like there's a-

- Grif, could you give me a little bit more

Indiana Jones?

(knocking on the door)

- Are you okay?

- No

- Can you knock?

- I did knock.

Here, Dory told me to give these to you.

I'm sorry, Brett.

- Man. It's starting to swell.

- Well, can you hold the camera?

- We've been promoting this website for a week.

I can't back out now.

- What if I did it then maybe

- Dude can't do the website.

- I'll go solo.

- You can't go alone. You need a partner.

- No way.

I'm leaving the base camp right now,

armed with only this thin strand of rope,

which will prevent me from falling to a really ugly death.

Adventures in my blood.

I'm driven to conquer the face of this Gargantua.

- [Brett] Shift, Gargantua

- Gargantua is a fat king in mythology.

- [Brett] Just zoom out and pan the scenery. All right?

Make it look scary.

- You want scary?

- This is not just a quest for adventure

is also a voyage of self-discovery.

- She's out of control.

- I heard that.

- What do you expect, man?

She doesn't even want to be there.

- Girls.

- Did I sound okay?

- Yeah.

You just need to talk with more emotion.

You're flat.

- Flat? Wait. What do you mean I'm flat?

- Hang on. Hello?

For you?

- Hello?

What?

She's what?

My mouth.

Why are you trying to mess up the webcast?

- I'm not.

- You're lucky. I'm here.

- Yeah. It's lucky you stay in my life.

Come on. Got to make up some time.

- Fine.

How many hits do we have?

- Just us.

Are we counting three from yesterday?

- No, we're not.

Come on, Grif. Less talk and more rock.

- I said it not to record the inward voyage

because it's inward,

but the experiences I gained,

maybe some of the most profound in my life so far.

- This thing weighs more than I do.

- All right. We take a five minute rest.

Then we start up again.

- Inward voyage.

What's he talking about?

Picking his nose?

- Snooza palooza,man.

- This is no Raiders.

- Yeah. I remember that snake scene.

- That was so creepy.

- Life or death.

Real jeopardy, man.

- No kidding.

- We lost picture. What'd you do?

- Me?

- Scared?

- No.

- [Griffin] Could you give me my water?

- What am I? Your sl*ve.

- Come on, got to focus on with propelling down.

- Eye eye eye, you have the biggest ego.

- Me? You've been acting like God's gift to the universe

ever since you got in that paper.

- You're jealous.

- Of you?

You take photos of the inside of toilet bowls.

- Well, Fine.

If you think you can do any better.

Good luck videotaping yourself, Griffin.

You'll probably break the camera

You know what?

You're making a complete fool out of yourself

and you don't even know it.

- You know what? We never really wanted to adopt you.

We only offered cause we felt sorry for you.

Oh, what? You're leaving.

- Yeah.

Great.

- Okay. Safety line is nice and secure.

Video camera's on play.

Let's do it.

Steady, whoa.

(Griffin screams)

- Griffin?

- Caitlin.

Caitlin

Help.

Caitlin

- Hang on, Griffin.

Come on.

- You go in first?

- Why me?

- This is a new shirt and I don't want to get skunked,

- But it's okay if I get skunked?

- Caitlin

- I'm coming.

- Here, Peppy.

- It's not going to eat those chips, man.

- Caitlin.

- There he's under the couch.

- Help.

Whoa whoa, the rope

Caitlin.

You have to make it secure.

- It is.

- You guys better be getting all of this.

- You have to come and help us.

- It'll take us too long.

- Then call, Jim.

- By the time someone gets there.

It might be too late,

You're the only one who can help him.

- He's hanging upside down.

- Okay, Look, this is what you have to do.

You have to get another rope

and you have to tie it to a tree.

- All right.

- And throw it down to, Grif.

Okay. But you still have his rope secure to your belt,

right?

- Yeah.

- Okay, good.

- Griffin, here comes the rope.

- Okay.

- Griffin, did you get the line?

- Yeah.

Yes, I did it.

- Alright. Alright.

He's right side up.

- Okay. Caitlin got to help Grif climb back up.

- Well, how do I do that?

- What?

- The skunk is gonna spray.

- What?

- No, it's not right. They only do that when they're

cornered.

- Brett? Jordan?

Guys?

Guys?

- Okay.

- Come on, Grif, you can do it.

- Slow down.

And don't shake the line.

Yeah.

All right, I'm nearly there.

- Come on Griffin. Pull.

Okay, doing good.

Griffin.

Are you okay?

- I don't think I can do this.

- Come on, Griffin.

You can do this in your sleep.

The itsy bitsy spider

climbed up the water spout.

- What are you doing?

- I'm singing.

Down came the rain

and washed the spider out.

I forgot the next verse.

- Out came the sun.

- Right? Right.

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout.

- Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,

and the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again.

- Come on. Griffin.

How you doing, Griff?

- Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again.

- Hey, you okay?

- Yeah.

- What is wrong with you?

Why didn't you use the safety line?

- Why are you hitting me?

- I thought you were going to die

and you die thinking that I hated you.

- Don't.

I was so scared.

I kept thinking of how I never told mom and dad,

I loved them.

I thought about how I said we were glad

you didn't let us adopt you.

And if I died, you think that's the way I really feel.

But I don't.

You're closer to me than anyone ever.

- Then why did you rip my photos?

- I was jealous.

They like you better.

- Dory and Jim?

They do not like me better.

I mean, when they're not yelling at me,

they're grounding me.

- But they love you.

- Well, yeah, but

I mean, think about it, Griffin.

You're their son.

I mean, they have so much love for you that

even though they give some to me,

there's always plenty left.

- It's just, I don't know

I don't always like sharing my parents with you.

- Are you sorry that I came here?

- If you hadn't come and have them all and myself,

none of my CDs would be missing.

But until you came,

I didn't realize how lonely I was.

- Man. I hope this works.

It's been ages since they called in.

- [Cailtin] Hello?

Caitlin. Look, I know you're scared.

- Her? Never.

- Griff? What's happening?

- Dude, are you all right?

- I'd love to chat,

but me and my partner coming home.

- Partner?

- I wonder how many hits we got?

- What is that?

- Oh man.

Better not be coming from where I think it is.

- Burn my sweater?

- Yeah.

- What about my hair?

- Hair. Hello? My whole room.

- Are you guys naked?

- No.

We've got our boxers on.

We'll get the fumigators in, honey.

- Yeah, but the cabin is going to smell for a few weeks.

- Looks like you're going to have to move back

to your old room for a little while.

- Man.

- Hey. I thought you just said you wanted to be closer

to Dory and Jim.

- How was your climb?

- Pretty cool.

- I never thought that anybody could be jealous of me.

I mean, I was always the one who was messed up.

This brother thing is weird.

Maybe somebody should make a manual or something.
