- Okay, Tom,

what's left on our list?

- Uh, Doritos, candy,

Pop-Tarts, Chips Ahoy!

And then it says,

"Grab some salad

so you don't look

like a bad mom."

- Okay,

you sit tight right here.

I'm just gonna go grab

a few pieces of lettuce.

- All right,

just grab a--

grab a slice of lettuce.

- Hey, there, big boy.

- "Big boy"?

You talking to me?

- Yeah, you're a little big

to be riding in that cart,

don't you think?

- Big?

Nah, standard kid size.

- Listen,

I'm just trying to help,

but you look like

an absolute idiot

sucking on that juice box.

- I don't know

how that helps me

in my day-to-day life.

- Listen, life moves fast.

One minute,

you're playing little league.

Next, you're smoke weed,

you're nailing chicks.

- I'm not nailing anyone.

I'm ten years old.

- I'm just saying, I want you

to hop out of the cart

and just push it.

- No, my mom told me you have

to have a license for that.

- Well, people have been

lying to you your entire life

if that's what they told you.

[thud]

- So I've got permission

to push the cart?

- Absolutely.

- This is shockingly easy.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I could've started

doing this when I was five.

- Absolutely.

Get out there and be somebody.

- Manager, check this out.

No hands.

- Hell, yeah, break out

of the handcuffs of youth

and push that cart.

- Whoo!

Oh, no!

- [screams]

- Oh, that's not good.

- [moaning dramatically]

Oh, why?

- Is it just me,

or is he overdramatizing this?

Hey, there, Nelson.

What's the word?

- Listen,

whatever's about to go down,

don't let it

affect our friendship.

- "Go down"?

What does that even mean?

- Tom!

- Ah. Nelson's dad?

Why are you on the bus?

- You have been served.

- Oh, no.

- I'm representing Hector.

We're suing the supermarket.

- No.

- We're suing the manager.

- Please.

- We're suing

the watermelon industry.

- No,

you can't sue watermelons.

- And we're suing you.

See you

at your deposition, son.

- Nelson, you got to stop this.

I literally did nothing wrong.

- Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I can't discuss it, Tom.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- There's a conflict

of interest.

I could get disbarred.

- Disbarred from what?

You're not a lawyer.

- Why don't I move

one seat back

until this case is settled?

- Nelson, please, come on.

- Hey, what are we

talking about?

- Oh, my God.

- Oh, you got a little pin

for your bag.

Oh, that's cool.

What is that, a ladybug?

Oh, no.

Oh, watermelons. Cart.

Cart. Hector, no. Wait.

Depositions!

- Tom!

- Nelson's dad!

Please! Oh, no!

Oh, no, a watermelon!

- Tom!

- Oh, hey, Ma.

- You okay?

- Oh, man,

I was having a nightmare.

- Is this about the lawsuit?

- It is.

- Look, I don't want you

to have any stress around this.

No one can sue us.

- What do you mean?

They--they can come

after all of our stuff.

- Tom, everything we own

is terrible,

and it's worth nothing.

- It is pretty disgusting.

- We're un-suable.

It's one of the perks

of being poor.

- Oh, this is great news.

- I invite them

to get aggressive with us.

Have it, dummy.

None of it's good.

- Have it, dummy.

- Mm-hmm.

- You can have

my disgusting backpack

and my mom's nasty clothes.

- Have all my nasty clothes.

Take my culottes, b*tch.

- This is great.

We don't have anything.

- Take my tank top, honey.

I got five of 'em for a buck.

- I feel great now.

I got to say,

I'm gonna sleep well tonight.

- Aw. Night-night, kid.

[door closes]

[knock on window]

- Tom, wake up.

- What?

- It's the manager

from Food Mart.

- What?

Get out of my room.

- We got to talk

about the lawsuit.

- Oh, no, I'm fine.

I'm un-suable, so I'm good.

- You might be good.

I'm not good.

If they find out I pressured

you to push the cart,

I could be found liable.

And we're friends, so

- We're not friends. Hey, no.

[clattering]

Please don't come in.

Don't come in.

Stop.

- Look, I'm in your room.

- Stop.

- I'm in your room already.

So now we're friends.

- Oh, my God.

- I have a small favor to ask.

- Okay.

- I need you to change

out of your pajamas

- Stop.

- Ride your bike

to the supermarket

- Stop.

- Steal the security tapes,

and destroy them in the river.

- Are you okay?

- I am not okay, all right?

They won't let me

near the security booth.

- Oh, you got to check

into some kind of clinic

or something.

- Come on, I'll give your mom

free groceries for life.

- That's tempting.

It just feels wrong.

- Free mayo--

does that feel wrong?

- You brought them with you?

- Canned peaches?

- Oh, my God,

canned peaches for free?

- Unlimited deli meats?

- I just can't sneak

out of the house.

I can't picture doing it.

- Man up, Tom.

If you're old enough

to push a cart,

you're old enough

to steal some security tapes.

- Thanks for doing this, Randy.

I can't believe

you actually agreed.

- Hey, if you need me,

I'm here for you, buddy.

- Yeah, I usually go to Nelson

for these kind of things,

but he's got a conflict

of interest, so

- Pfft, Nelson?

Nelson is a poor man's Randy.

- You do have

a confident demeanor.

So how are we gonna do this?

We got to get in

and get the tapes.

Do you have any kind of plan?

- Okay, first,

I'm gonna cause a distraction

by going on a r*cist rant.

- Seems kind of weird.

- And then

you enter the security booth,

and you ransack the place

to make it look like a robbery.

- What purpose does that serve?

- And if anyone asks

where your parents are,

you just say,

"No comment, as*h*le."

- I'm not allowed to swear.

Can I say--

- "No comment, butthole."

- I kind of regret calling you,

but let's just--

let's just hope for the best.

- Uh, excuse me?

Why is this store

carrying sauerkraut?

You know who else

liked sauerkraut?

A man by the name of Hitler!

- Oh, my God.

What is this kid doing?

- Black beans?

Where I come from,

they're just beans.

- All right, here we go--tapes,

tapes, where are the tapes?

Where are the tapes?

Where are the tapes?

Cloud?

What the hell's a cloud?

Cloud? No. What's happening?

This--this makes no sense.

- Kid,

where are your parents anyway?

- My parents?

- Yeah, where are they?

- You want to know

where my parents are?

Why?

'Cause you want to f*ck them?

- What does that even mean?

- All right. Think, Tom.

Think, think.

All right, you know what?

Let's just destroy it.

Destroy the machine.

That didn't seem to work.

[static whirs]

Attention, shoppers.

Will Randy please go

to the parking lot?

- Okay.

I'm gonna get out of here.

Forget what I said. I--

You don't want

to f*ck my parents.

I don't even know

why I said that.

That's a crazy thing to say.

- Oh, what a disaster.

- Yeah.

Thanks to you, we blew it.

- Oh, you're not smart.

You're just not smart.

- I am smart.

You're dumb.

- That's your comeback?

- [sighs]

Let's just settle up

and get out of here.

- "Settle up"?

What--what do you mean?

- Pay me.

- Oh, this isn't a paid job.

I just called you late at night

and said,

"Meet me at the supermarket."

- Oh, so it was a booty call?

- Just childhood high jinks,

just fun stuff.

- You think

I'm volunteering my time here?

- Oh, yeah, Nelson

does this kind of stuff

for free all the time.

- You guys are friends.

I barely know your last name.

Pay me.

- All right, fine.

Here's the money.

- What is this?

Canned peaches?

- All right, you know what?

This is not the time to haggle.

Let's get out of here.

Go. Run.

[musical scales playing]



- Oh, I'm so stupid.

Why did I break

into the supermarket?

- Thomas, might I have

the temerity to ask

why you're sweating

and mumbling to yourself?

- All right, not today, Mr. B.

I'm not in the mood.

I-I've got a lot going on.

- What do you have

"going on"?

- I didn't get a lot of sleep.

I'm just not in the mood

for the whole Mr. B. schtick.

- "Schtick"?

Young man,

I will see you after class.

- I'm sorry.

- Wow.

Tom.

- What?

- Excuse me?

- What do you need?

- Tom,

are you feeling all right?

You seem out of character.

- Honestly, Dakota,

I know you're trying to help.

Can you just shut up

and play your flute?

- I'm gonna

give you a pass, Tom,

but that's the last time you're

ever gonna tell me to shut up.

Okay?

- I apologize for that.

- Yeah,

that's a one-and-done on that.

- Excuse me--

quick interruption,

but I need to see Tom

in my office now.

- Are you kidding me?

All right,

someone put away my bassoon.

I-I can't deal with this

right now.

Oh, the last thing I need today

is more principal bullshit.

What do you want?

- Close the door

and get in here right now.

- Who are you?

What's happening?

Are you a cop?

- I'm the one

asking the questions, okay?

So sit down and shut up.

And, you, get me a coffee.

- Can I see some credentials?

You just came in here,

and you put your feet up.

- My credentials?

Here are my credentials

right here.

- You pointing at your g*n

or your badge?

- I'm grabbing my p*nis, okay?

I'm grabbing my p*nis.

- You're in a grade school,

you realize?

- Now, look, we can go

back and forth all day,

but I don't have time for this.

I came in here for answers,

and I'm gonna leave

with answers.

- Listen, I'm a little kid.

I was pushing a shopping cart.

That's not a crime.

- [laughs]

You want to know

what is a crime, Tom?

- Okay?

- Defacing security equipment

with a peanut butter

and jelly sandwich.

Bam!

- I actually

don't think it is, but--

- No, I don't think so either.

- Here's what we're gonna do.

I'm gonna be in touch.

But until I do,

do not step foot out

of the state of New Jersey.

Capisce?

- I don't speak Italian, so

- I don't either.

I think it means,

"Do you understand?"

- Wait, you're not strapping me

to the front of the bus,

are you?

- Hector,

I'm a licensed bus driver.

I know what I'm doing, man.

- No, no, no, no.

No, stop it.

This is not safe.

- It's fine.

- Tom, great news.

- I thought we can't talk.

What's happening?

- Turns out that

the attorney-client privileges

don't even apply

to the son of an attorney.

- I didn't think

that made sense.

- Lean in.

I got something to tell you.

Here.

- What's up?

- I really got reason

to believe

that Hector

is not really injured.

- Wait, what?

- My dad took his deposition.

And he was bouncing

on a trampoline,

saying, "I'm rich."

- For no reason, he was

bouncing on a trampoline?

- Yep, rapping that "I'm rich."

- Rapping?

- Rapping "I'm rich."

- That's crazy!

That's insurance fraud!

- Look, if you can get him

on tape

admitting insurance fraud,

this whole case goes away.

- All right,

let's do this.

Make arrangements

to meet the cop.

Just get all the equipment

and the scheduling,

and I'll just show up.

- Tom, you really need to start

paying me for these things.

- I'm not sure

what Randy told you,

but I literally paid him

in canned peaches.

- All right, here we go.

I'm glad you decided

to cooperate, kid.

If Hector's lying,

this whole case goes away.

- So what do we have to do?

We have to record his voice?

- I'm gonna hardwire you, okay?

It's gonna go under your shirt.

It's gonna run along your side

and down the leg of your pant.

- Why?

- Okay, I'm sorry.

Who is this guy?

- He's Nelson.

He's my friend/fixer.

- It's like a unpaid position.

- Okay, well,

here's what I need you to do.

I need you to pipe down

because what I'm talking about

is very complex stuff, okay?

- Is it?

That's, like, a lot of wire.

Why don't we just use

my burner phone?

- Tom,

who's in charge here, okay?

Is it this Nelson kid,

or is it me?

- I want to say you,

but I don't feel like you are.

I think let's go

with Nelson's idea.

- No disrespect.

- Yeah.

Let's go with the burner phone.

It's just smarter

on multiple levels.

All right, let's do it.

- I'm rich, I'm rich ♪

And watermelons

are my b*tch ♪

Hector, Hector ♪

m*therf*cking Hector ♪

- Hector,

I hear you rapping in there.

Come on, open up.

It's me.

Hey, Hector. Hey, I'm glad

to see you're doing better.

- I'm not doing better.

I might have brain damage.

- Brain damage

from watermelons?

- Those are heavy,

and they're filled with water.

- You're not really hurt.

Come on, you could tell Tom.

- Why are you get--

what are you doing?

- You can say,

"I've been faking my injuries."

- What are you talk--

why are you close to me?

- What do you mean why?

I'm close to you as a friend.

- Are you recording me

right now?

- What are you doing?

Don't frisk.

Don't frisk me.

- No, no, no.

You got something.

- Stop frisking me. Hey.

- Ha. Wow.

Tom, I hate to break it to you,

but you're not the guy

who records me.

I'm the guy who records you.

- What does that even mean?

- Nelson's dad planted a wire

in your backpack

the other day,

so we know it all.

- Oh, no.

- The collusion,

the bribes,

the cop pointing to his p*nis--

we know all that stuff.

- All right, you know what?

I got to go. This conversation

never happened.

- Oh, no, it did,

and we recorded it.

- I'll deny it.

I'll deny everything.

- We recorded that, too.

Ah, you don't understand

anything.

- All right, I got to go.

- Bye.

- [bangs on van]

- Yo, Tom, how did it go?

- Not good, Nelson.

Your dad planted a bug

on my backpack?

- You know what?

Now that I think about it,

this feel like a conflict

of interest after all.

Why don't I recuse myself?

- He's riding away.

- This is not good.

Get in the van, Tom.

[engine turning over]

This is a nightmare!

They've been recording you?

- All right, slow down.

Why do you care?

You're a cop.

- I'm not a cop, Tom.

- What?

- I am a junior insurance claim

adjuster's assistant for GEICO.

- Oh, my God, you came

into my school with a g*n

and pointing at your p*nis.

- My job is boring, okay?

I like to try to spice it up

with some little stuff

here and there.

- We got to call GEICO.

- Tom, you don't call GEICO.

If they were to find out

I was doing stakeouts

and grilling kids at

grade schools, I'm done, Tom.

- We got to call the principal,

my mom, or GEICO.

- No.

- We got to call someone.

- We have one option

and one option only.

We flee the state.

We live in the van

until the heat dies down.

- I'm not living in a van

with you.

- Fine.

I'm gonna let you off here.

Just do one

of those drop-and-roll things.

I can't have the license plate

caught on camera.

- You want me to jump

out of a moving van?

- I'm not gonna stop the van.

- No, you got to slow it down.

- I'm not.

- I'm gonna k*ll myself.

I'm gonna die.

- I'm not gonna stop, Tom.

- You got a lot of problems.

You got a lot of issues

to sort through.

- I'm not gonna

dispute that, Tom.

[body thuds]

[door chimes]

Oh, we got problems.

We got problems, Manager.

They know it all--

the collusion, the bribes.

We got to run.

- Tom.

- We got to get out of here.

- Calm down.

- We got to skip town.

- Tom, relax.

They settled the case, Tom.

- Settled the case?

What does that mean?

- Corporate just called

and said,

"We couldn't care less

about the 40K.

Just pay the kid

and be done with it."

- That's amazing.

- Got a bottle of champagne

to celebrate right here.

- Oh, I obviously can't drink.

- What?

In some cultures,

you're old enough

to get married.

- Very few,

very few cultures.

- Tom, if you're enough

to push a cart,

you're old enough to party.

- All right.

As long as you're

signing off on it.

[grunts]

Oh, wow, this is not easy.

[grunting]

Here, hold me.

Hold my shoulders.

- All right.

I'll put one foot on your back.

- Come on, get out.

Go, go.

[cork pops, thuds]

- My eye!

- Oh, no!

- Aah!

I came to pick up my check,

and now I'm blind.

Who did this?

Is anybody gonna help me?

- Oh, God, this is bad.

Negligence, underage drinking.

- All right, listen.

I won't tell anyone

you encouraged

the underage drinking.

Just keep that mayo

and canned peaches

coming our way.

- Deal.

Now get the hell out of here.

[door chimes]

- Too--too many crimes, Tom,

too many crimes.

- Does he know that

we're recording all of this?

- He's just not good at

this stuff the way I am, Dad.

- I never should have lied

to the cop.

Once he pointed to his p*nis,

I should have gotten

out of there.

[rock music]

[distant siren wailing]

- Hey, Dakota's Dad, thanks

again for doing my taxes.

- No problem.

My wife dislikes you intensely,

so this is like

a small victory for me.

- Dislikes me or my--or my mom?

- Eh, a little from column A,

a little from column B.

Let me ask you, how comfortable

are you with some mild lying?

- I would describe

my comfort level

as high to extremely high.

- Mom.

- Good.

Because I'd like

to claim Tom's backpack

as a business expense.

- What did it cost?

- Nothing.

It was a gift from my grandma.

- Just put down 1,000 bucks.

- 1,000?

No, Mom, please.

What are you writing down?

Don't write that down.

- And the ice-cream truck

Tom sank,

that sounds like

a capital-gains loss.

- True that. Put her down.

- Well, that you can't say,

'cause we literally

never owned it.

- I have a question--

if my husband

is nailing a masseuse

in Myrtle Beach,

can I claim her as a dependent?

- Oh, my God.

- Why not?

- What?

- If she's sucking

your dad's wiener,

she's draining your finances.

- Why are we even saying

the word "wiener" in this room?

- Tom,

it's a repeating expense.

We got to claim it.

- I got to put my foot down.

You got to stop.

Unplug the computer.

Do something.

[rattling]

Ouch.

- Tom,

who's the accountant here?

Me or you?

- I guess you.

- Exactly.

Now, take my laptop

and go watching "Finding Dory"

or some other kid sh*t.

- I knew this would be awkward.

This is just taking it

to another level.

Okay, "Finding Dory."

Which folder am I looking in?

"Personal," "Travel,"

"Church Bullshit,"

"Wife Nonsense"

Oh, "Dakota's Dad's Movies."

All right, there we go.

- Oh, hello, sexy stepson.

- Hello, sexy stepmom.

- That's weird.

I thought it was animated.

- May I come in?

- Yes.

- Where are all the fish?

What's going on here?

- I love

your Eastern European boobs.

- I will shake them for you.

- Why is this guy

taking off his pants?

- Ooh, so forbidden.

- Oh, this is so wrong

but so right.

- Boobs? Wait! Oh, no!

Oh, don't look! Forbidden!

Where's the volume? Stop!

- Sexy stepmother! Yes!

- Yes, my son by marriage!

[line trilling]

Yes!

- Hey, oh, Nelson here.

- Nelson, I got a problem.

- "Problem"?

Man, you got to call

my burner phone for problems.

- It can't wait.

I borrowed a laptop.

I think I opened a dirty movie.

- You think?

- I'm seeing boobs.

I'm seeing rear ends.

- All right, Tom.

All right, I need you

to empty the browser cache.

- What's a browser?

- Clear the history.

- Nelson,

I'm not a computer guy.

You know that.

- Okay, Tom, look--

- Why do you sound so relaxed?

Are you on a hammock right now?

- I am on a hammock,

but look--

- Get off the hammock.

- All right. All right.

All right.

I'm off the hammock now.

- No, you're not.

You're useless.

I'm hanging up.

- Take a screenshot!

- [groaning]

- Stop playing filthy things!

[laptop whirs]

That sounded good.

The movie went away.

- Inheritance tax

is a tricky area,

but I'm gonna put down

1,000 bucks.

- Great.

[computer chimes]

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

I'll be right back.

[running footsteps departing]

[door opens]

- Oh, boy.

- [whistles]

- Tom.

- Hey, Double D.

- An email was sent

from my laptop

with a link to a movie

called

"Eastern European MILFs."

- What's a MILF?

Where's Eastern Europe?

I don't even know

what you're talking about.

- Oh, don't play dumb.

You emailed it

to my Bible study group.

Now you need to take the blame.

- What?

- You're the fall guy.

- I didn't see the movie!

I literally saw one boob

for, like, three seconds.

- Come on, Tom.

- Where are we going?

- Don't worry

about where we're going.

- Should I call my mom?

- Don't call your mom.

What are you,

a little baby boy?

- What are we even doing?

- You are going to make

a shameful apology video.

- Oh, no.

- Read these cards,

word for word.

- "Hi. My name is Filthy Tom"?

I'm not reading that.

- Word for word, Tom.

Or your mom's refund

goes bye-bye.

- No refund if I don't read it?

- Zip.

And I'm telling everyone

that you looked at boobies.

- All right.

Last time we ask you

to do our taxes,

I'll say that much.

[camcorder beeps]

- Action.

- Hi, there.

My name is Filthy Tom.

And I've been a bad, bad boy?

I recently hacked

into Dakota's dad's laptop

and blasted out

a filthy email saying,

"Hey, check out

these Eastern European MILFs."

Why did I do this?

- Say it.

- Because I'm filthy

and disgusting

and Dakota's dad--

I can't say this.

- Word for word, Tom.

- Dakota's dad is

a wholesome man

with a great physique

for a man of his age.

Thank you.

- Hey, that was great.

- That was great?

- I-I'm proud of you, Tom.

You're like

the son I never had.

- You have a 12-year-old son.

He's on my baseball team.

- Oh, right, that guy.

- I'm so disgusted

with you, Tom.

- I'm disgusted with myself.

- You coined your own nickname?

- It got away from me.

- Why would you make up

a nickname like that?

- I don't know.

I thought it was catchy.

But in retrospect,

I shouldn't have.

- Well, you ruined

your reputation,

and we're gonna fix it fast.

I want you to go ask the priest

for a baptism.

- Just demand a baptism?

- Yes.

Don't even ask.

Demand a baptism.

- Hey.

Are you the boss here?

- The boss?

I mean, I'm the priest.

- I was hoping you could bang

out a quick baptism real quick.

- Just slam one out?

- If you could.

If it's not too much trouble.

- You know, I'm looking at you.

Aren't you--you're the kid

who sent the email, right?

I believe

they call you Filthy Tom.

- No, that nickname's

not really catching on.

- Made its way to me,

so I guess it did catch on.

Let's work our way

up to a baptism, all right?

- Work our way up to it?

- If you want to get involved,

why not start out

as an altar boy?

- Oh, no.

No, I wouldn't--

- Yes.

Yes.

- That's a whole other world.

That's a whole other subculture

I don't want

to get involved in.

- That sounds great.

- No, no, no.

I-I got a full schedule.

I got wiffleball, I got--

- He'll take the job.

He'll quit wiffleball,

and he'll take the job.

- No. What does--what does

an altar boy do exactly?

- A lot of lighting candles,

ringing bells,

wearing robes.

- I don't know.

I'm not a big robe guy.

- You don't have to really love

robes to wear a robe.

- Hey, Tom.

- Oh, hey.

Randy, you're an altar boy.

- Yeah.

How do I look?

- Kind of weird.

- What?

- What does the job pay?

- Um, we get paid

in God's glory.

- Are you joking?

- Uh, no.

- Let me get this straight.

You wake up on a Sunday.

- Mm-hmm.

- You light candles,

ring bells

- No, we--

- Wear an ill-fitting robe

- I mean--

- And you don't get any money?

- Just let this go,

all right, man?

Okay, folks,

before we start,

I want to introduce

our newest altar boy, Tom.

- Thank you, everyone.

People are calling me

Religious Tom.

It's just a nickname.

Thank you, though.

- All right, Tom.

I was just introducing you.

You don't need--there's no,

like, speech you need to make.

- Filthy Tom?

I guess they're just

letting anyone in now.

- Just anybody.

- That's my religious son

up there.

He doesn't look

at Eastern European porn.

What?

He reads the Bible.

- Our altar boys

are going

to pass

the collection plate around.

Well, while they do that,

let's open our hymnals

to page 423.

- Tom?

- Yeah?

- You got me thinking.

Why in the mother-effing hell

are we not getting paid?

- Don't say "mother-effing

hell." What are you doing?

- We work our asses off

every Sunday

to get paid in God's glory?

Eh, news flash--that is not

a type of currency.

- Forget I said anything.

Forget I--

- Tom.

- You got to shut up.

You got to shut up.

- It's the weekend.

And we're indoors

wearing g*dd*mn robes.

- Even in a non-church setting,

it's too much cursing.

- I mean, look at me.

I'm ringing a bell?

[bell rings]

Who does that?

[bell ringing]

Is this fun?

- Randy, stop.

- We should be at

Nelson's pool party right now.

- Honestly,

I don't think you were invited.

- But if I was, I should be

doing things like that.

- You're not well-liked.

- Because I'm hanging out

at this flophouse.

Meet me backstage, okay?

Let's talk.

All right. All right.

All right. Okay.

Everybody, huddle up.

Tom here has a great idea

- No.

- That's gonna take us

from being altar boys

to altar men.

- No, leave me out of this.

- I agree with Tom

that God wants us

to be paid a fair wage.

- I never said that.

- Starting today, we're

gonna skim 10% off the top.

Just like they did in "Casino."

- Oh, yeah.

- No, we're not.

- Then we're gonna

tape the money to Tom's body

- That's a great idea.

- Like

in "Wolf of Wall Street."

- Please, no.

- And then Tom

will sneak it out of

the building little by little

like in "Shawshank."

- I've never seen

any of these movies.

I don't even--

- You can just read

the plot summaries.

We stash the money

at your house

- Oh, my God.

- Till we're 18.

And then we move to Mexico

or whatever happened

at the end of "Shawshank."

I haven't seen it either.

- I just can't get in trouble.

- [scoffs] There's no risk.

- Yeah.

- All the scrutiny is

on the priests these days,

so altar boys can get away

with literally anything.

They want us to.

"Payback"!

Have you seen that

Mel Gibson movie, "Payback"?

- You know I haven't seen it.

- Here's the plan.

I'll put away the candles.

Ryan, fold up the robes.

And the rest of you,

tape the money to Tom's body

so we can smuggle it out.

Amen.

- Why do I have

to smuggle it out?

- Oh, sorry.

I-I already said "amen."

- What does that mean?

- Once I say "amen,"

there's no going back.

[lively music playing]

- Turn up the jams, dudes.

Let's get this party started.

- Oh, Tommy Tom.

- It's about time.

I only can make

so much small talk with Dakota.

- Yeah, we have

very little in common.

- Well, let's have fun now.

Ahh, all right.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Get up, man.

We're about to play volleyball.

- Oh, no, it's Sunday.

Can't play sports on Sunday.

- But you just said--

- I'm a churchgoing guy.

I just want to relax.

You guys have fun. I'm gonna

take a nap and read the Bible.

- Read the Bible?

What?

- I don't want to get in a pool

with a bunch of sinners!

- Did you just call us sinners?

- What are you trying

to tempt me into the pool for?

- Tom, shut up

and get in the pool!

- This is blasphemy.

It really is.

- Take it off, man.

Come on.

- Get up. Get him.

- Stop. Hey.

Hey, please. Hey.

- Take it off.

- Don't. No, please.

- Whoa.

- Oh, what the hell?

- What's wrong?

My physique or the money?

- What's going on, Tom?

You got, like,

$40 taped to your chest.

- This is the way

I carry my money.

My mom doesn't trust banks.

- Tom, Tom,

I don't know what kind

of "Wolf of Wall Street" stuff

you caught up in,

but, I mean, we need to talk.

- How did everybody

see this movie except me?

All right, let's not make

a big thing of this.

Let's just go back

to the pool party.

- Tom, you're

in a crisis mode, man.

Focus here!

- Okay, that's a bit much.

- Thomas, in general terms,

what you've gotten into?

- In general terms,

I mean,

it's just a large organization

smuggling funds

- Oh, my God.

- And I'm the mule, I suppose.

- Wha--

- I mean, is that even a crime?

- That's the definition

of a crime!

- Is it?

Being a mule is a crime?

- Dakota, k*ll the music!

- What?

- Oh, don't k*ll the mus--no.

- Destroy your phones.

Yellow tape around the pool

right now.

- Okay!

- Everybody, leave.

- Running!

Aah!

- The party's not relaxing.

- Your only play

is to be a rat, Tom.

- A rat? I'll get in trouble.

I'm doing the crime.

- No, no,

the first to talk always gets

a slap on the wrist.

- Oh, really?

- Now, grab one

of Nelson's suits

and get yourself down

to the IRS.

- IRS? This is the worst

pool party I've ever been to.

- Tom, buddy,

I got to tell you,

I'm proud of you

for doing this.

- "Proud"? I was a mule

in an embezzling scheme

against the church.

- Yeah.

But you're ratting

on the altar boys.

You're incorruptible--

purest of the pure right here.

Little rat mule.

- That's true.

All right.

Well, wish me luck.

- While you're in there, see

if they have my refund check.

- I'm on it.

[door closes]

- Okay, son.

It's a really brave thing

you're doing here.

Just state your name

and tell me everything

right into the camera here.

- [distorted voice]

All right, name is Tom,

and I have come here

to blow the whistle

about a scandal unfolding

at the church.

- Nope. Yeah, got to stop

you there, buddy.

- [normal voice]

What's wrong?

- Don't really care

about all that church stuff?

- What's this?

- They're tax-exempt,

so we really don't have

any jurisdiction over them.

- No, the altar boys

are stealing money.

They're gonna move to Mexico.

- Doesn't matter.

- Are you getting this?

- The church,

they do whatever they want.

- Tell the guy to hit record

at least.

- You know what?

Bob, go ahead and hit record.

I do have a few questions

for you.

- Okay.

- As a standard action,

we did pull

your mother's tax return.

- Oh, I'm not here for that.

- And we've got some questions

for you.

- [distorted voice]

No comment.

- $1,000 for a backpack?

- I don't have a backpack.

- Capital-gains loss

on an ice-cream truck?

- I plead the fifth.

- Claiming a masseuse

named Tina as a dependent?

- As I understand it,

if she's sucking my dad's dong,

she's draining our finances.

- Whoa, yes.

Well, we got it on tape.

- [normal voice] What?

- You're a brave kid, Tom.

Not a lot of kids are willing

to rat on their own mom

like you just did.

- Money, money,

money all the time ♪

What I'm thinkin' 'bout ♪

[knock on window]

b*tches on my mind

all the time ♪

- Hi, ma'am.

Can we have a quick word

with you?

- Oh, is this

about my tax refund?

- You think I'd come tap

on your window about a refund?

No, it's about tax evasion.

Your son just ratted on you.

- Um, I don't have a son.

I don't know

what you're talking about.

Bye.
