t want to.
I like living at home.
- No, you don't.
- Am I a garden snail?
An involuntary muscle
in a janitor suit?
I know what I want to do.
What could
you possibly like...
about living at
home at your age?
The meals are great.
I mean, there's cable.
The accommodations
are excellent, five-star.
What do you care if
I'm living at home or not?
Hey, I didn't come here
to irritate you.
Well, you're beginning to.
Great.
That's really great.
I gotta stop saying
those kinds of things.
Those freakin' kids!
I knew I couldn't trust 'em.
Town liar.
That's a nice rep.
I bet it was Gregory,
that little weasel.
Top secret, and they still
shoot off their mouths!
If I'd really been
a French spy,
those little tots
would've gotten me killed!
Piano wire wrapped around my neck.
My testicles shoved down my throat.
A piece of dynamite
stuck up my ass!
She's so beautiful.
And I'm the town liar.

Jim, there's
no reason to lie right now.
There's no one to impress.
I'm not impressed by a man
telling me he likes living at home.
Excuse me, I'm not lying,
and I'm not trying
to impress you.
So if you'll excuse me,
I have to clean dead flies
out of the lighting fixtures.
Okay, my error.
I apologize.
It's just that I
can't imagine a man...
giving up his independence,
his right to mate,
to have a family,
to build a life for himself,
for good cooking.
Hold on.
I have not given
up my right to mate.
I have the right to mate...
anytime I feel like mating.
You go out with someone.
You bring her home.
You introduce her to...
Mom, Dad, Sis, Billy,
Wolfie the dog.
Cocktails in the rumpus room,
and then do it on the bunk bed?
Let's analyze that remark.
I don't have a dog,
my brother's
not named Billy,
and I don't even
have a rumpus room.
You know what I mean.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Spit on me,
make me feel lousy.
Jim?
You said something
that wasn't true.
No.
No, I said that I can
have sex when I want to, and I do.
However, I was
looking forward...
to a nice, quiet evening
of janitoring.
I don't think you see
what I'm getting at.
I see what you're getting at.
I'm a lying monk with an Oedipus complex
and an appetite for home cooking.
Don't forget,
you're the indecisive shoplifter.
Yes! Exactly.
I would do anything
to be in your shoes.
These are Darnell's shoes.
You have freedom,
and you're not using it.
It makes me sad.
You have the wealth of the entire town,
and you're trying to get arrested.
- That makes me sad.
- That makes me sad, too.
- That's pretty stupid.
- It's very stupid.
Are you serious?
I mean, you haven't
been drinking?
This isn't
the bottle talking?
No.
Then why don't you
just talk to the guy?
For the same reason that
you can't leave home,
I can't tell my father
to go to hell.
Why not?
Because I don't
want to be alone.
Mr. McClellan?
You ever have any family problems,
you and your daughter?
What the hell
do you think this is?
You got a point.
Would you go
with me somewhere?
- Where?
- Florida?
Wyoming? Spain?
It doesn't really matter,
just away somewhere.
I'd love to.
I just can't afford to be...
capricious and carefree
like yourself.
I've gotta set my sights on
something, and really go for it.
- Night janitor?
- It's a beginning.
- I-I'm lookin' at...
- It's an end.
Maybe if you had
a destination in mind,
that would make all the
difference in the worid.
- Why?
- Well, uh,
I'm just not built to
