(gentle music)

(thunder rolling)

(dishes clattering)

(microwave beeping)

- Mm-mm.

- Mom, just let him eat.

- It's getting late.

- You're gonna wait, and you're gonna wait quiet.

- Hey, you need to learn how to wait, okay?

- It's time for dinner

- I know.

- What?

- Fix your hair. - [Sam] Why?

- Just pull it down.

It looks thrown away.

- [Brandon] Damn it.

- [Lorraine] Hey, baby! - Hey.

- You're a little late.

- I know that.

I was runnin' errands.

(beer bottles clanking) (refrigerator closing)

- Well, let's eat.

- Pass me some bread.

- Well, Samantha, what did you do today?

- Nothing really.

- Well, you must've done somethin'.

- We did a little somethin' this morning, didn't we?

- [Lorraine] You stop it.

(Brandon and Lorraine whispering)

- I helped you clean the house.

- Carl, baby, what about you?

- [Sam] He was with us all day.

- I was talking to your brother.

Carl?

I guess it's a good thing I made his favorite meal.

- You did not technically make this.

You just heated it up in the microwave.

And this is not my favorite meal.

But it is Friday, and on Fridays, we eat meatloaf.

And to answer your question, I took field notes.

We are in the middle of a drought,

which is technically hard to define.

You never know when you are in a drought

unless one's occurring,

- Carl? - which we are now, and-

- Look at me in the eye when you talk to me, son.

- According to the Farmer's Almanac,

they're calling for a low pressure system

to hit in the next five days from the west.

I mean, this could mean a supercell-

- Okay, that's enough weather talk for today.

- Hey, you listenin' to your mama?

Look at her.

- Why does it matter?

- Because your mama had told him to, that's why.

And because the only people

that don't look you in the eye

when you're talkin', criminals, psychopaths.

- Why are you lookin' at me in the eye?

- Because I ain't no criminal or psychopath, that's why.

- May I be excused?

- Yeah.

- It's not for you to say, Samantha.

But yes, you may be excused.

So my beautician course requires me

to cut hair on a live model.

And I asked Samantha, but she ain't gonna let me

touch that mop of hers.

So- - Why not?

- Well, I told her it would look good, but...

How about you, baby?

I mean maybe I could just-

- Don't. (laughs) Nah, I'm good. Thanks.

You know what though?

What about, uh, Sam's weird friend there, uh?

He could use a haircut.

- Lewis? (Brandon and Lorraine laugh)

(Sam laughs)

- But, he's not that weird. (laughs)

- [Lorraine] Well, he is not normal.

And I wish you and Carl

would start hanging out with somebody else,

'cause his weird's startin' to rub off

on y'all a little bit. (laughing)

[Lorraine] God, Lewis.

- Will you pass the salt?

Thank you.

- So you're not gonna eat now?

- Uh, I'm not that hungry.

I think I'm gonna go to my room and read or something.

- Oh, don't be rude.

At least say goodnight to your guest.

- Brandon, it's always so great to see you.

- Well, you too, Sam.

- Better put that in the fridge before you go to bed.

- (sighs) They're so weird.

(gentle music)

- A low pressure system coming in from the west.

- [Andy] Mom, please don't. He'll talk forever.

- [Mrs. Carter] Stop it!

Hi there, Carl.

- Hi, Ms. Carter. Hi, Andy.

- [Mrs. Carter] Lovely day, isn't it?

- I suppose it's lovely.

If you would like to call a 105 degrees index lovely.

We are in the middle of a drought you know, and-

- [Mrs. Carter] Well, that is true, Carl.

- In this decade alone, there've been

up to 11 million people who have died

due to the effects of the drought.

- Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.

- There's no need to apologize.

I didn't know them.

(country music)

[Carl] I believe there's a low pressure system

coming in from the west.

So, I'm thinkin' with the humidity in the East that-

I have to go.

(shopping cart clattering)

- Hi, Carl. - Uh, hi, Donna.

You can't have this cart.

It hasn't been put up yet. - Oh that's--

- You need to grab one from the bin.

- No, it's okay. I can just take this one.

It's no big deal. - But that's not

the way it works.

You can't have this.

It's not ready yet.

- Carl, I'm in a big hurry,

so I'm just gonna take this one, okay?

Now you have one less cart to put away. (laughs)

Thank you.

- No, she can't do that.

Donna, you cannot take that.

- Carl, you need to calm down.

- I'm supposed to put the carts in the bin.

You're supposed to take the carts out of the bin.

I'm not done with this cart.

- Carl, stop it!

You're embarrassing yourself! (cart clattering)

(Donna thuds, cart crashing) [Sam] Oh!

- I'm sorry, he's just really-

- I'm fine, it's fine.

Just please control your brother.

- Donna, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, It's just I'm stupid-

- Hey, Carl no. Stop! Hey!

Stop! She is fine.

Take a deep breath.

[Mr. Lurchman] Sam!

Can I see you in the office for a minute?

- Stay there, okay?

(customers whispering)

Thanks. - Yep.

- Here, take this and read on the bench, okay?

(gentle music)

- [Mr. Lurchman] Sam, Donna Patacki

is one of our best customers.

- You saw her. She was being ridiculous.

- And her family has more money

than they know what to do with

since they bought Larson's hog farm last year.

- I know. - He can't work here anymore.

- What?

- I said he can't work here anymore, I'm sorry.

- Uh, Mr. Lurchman, I can't leave him at home.

My mom works and I work here-

- Hey there, Glenwood!

- Oh, hi, sug. How are you doing today?

- Staying cool. Is that Samantha?

- Hey, Ms. Thigpen. - Hey baby.

You make any more of that sausage this week?

- [Mr. Lurchman] Having some made today.

- How about holding me out 10 pounds?

- Will do. - [Mrs. Thigpen] Thank you.

- Um, what if he sat in the break room

and he read his book?

- I can't let him do that.

- Okay, what if he sat outside on the bench,

and he just took his field notes-

- Sam! He's scaring the customers.

You can, of course, keep your job,

but Carl can not work here anymore.

Can't even be on the premises unless he's shopping.

Understood?

- Mm-hmm.

- Do you wanna tell him or do you want me to?

- I'll tell him. - Great.

You can both take the rest of the day off.

Sam?

If you wanna tell him after you leave,

that would be preferable.

(gentle music)

- [Sam] Hey, we need to talk

about what happened later, okay?

- [Carl] Okay. - [Sam] Okay.

(gentle music)

- [Carl] Drought!

Drought!

The water! - Oh.

- You were wasting the water.

- I know.

Whaley's is not a very-

- Where's Mom?

- Uh, probably stayed at Brandon's last night.

- I'm gonna be late for work.

- Hold on, we need to talk about that.

(light music)

- Can you open the door?

Hi. - Hi.

- Gosh!

You have gotten so tall. (laughs)

Carl?

- What are you doing here?

- Well, you've gotten so big.

- I- I have to go to work.

- Hold on, we need to talk about that.

Why are you here? (laughs)

- Have you not told Carl?

- Told him what?

- About Mom?

- What about Mom?

- You really don't know.

- Know what?

(answering machine beeps)

- [Lorraine] Um, son of a bitch!

Is this thing working?

Oh there it goes, okay.

Hey, baby! It's, it's me.

Um, it seems like I've been caught

in a little bit of a- a predicament.

Um, Brandon and I were, were caught selling paraphernalia

out of the truck, ya know, the ice cream truck.

And... We were selling pot out of the ice cream truck.

So I'm bein' held in jail for a bit,

but don't worry.

I called Lillian, and she should be up in there

in the mornin', she should be up there in the mornin'

to watch after y'all.

Um.

I, I got two phone calls 'cause of my sweet talk. (laughs)

So, it's just gonna be for a bit.

But y'all mind Lillian, okay. Bye, baby.

(phone clicks) (answering machine beeps)

- (laughs) Is this a joke?

- It's not a joke.

- Why are you here?

To watch you and Carl, and make sure you don't

burn down the- - We don't really

need you here, and we don't want you here.

- Well, I'm here, so deal with it.

- Carl, do you want her here?

Carl?

- He left.

- When did he leave?

- I don't know.

But he's fine though. He's-

- He was fired yesterday.

- Wait, then...

Why is he headed to work?

- I was supposed to tell him.

I was gonna tell him, and then you showed up. (laughs)

- No, calm down!

- He's gonna freak out, Lillian.

- But, he'll be okay.

How is he even old enough to go to work?

- He's 17.

Are you coming or not?

(gentle music)

- [Lillian] If...you're gonna be fine.

- No, just stay here. You'll only make it worse.

- [Lillian] No, I can help you.

- [Sam] No, ugh, be right back!

(engine idling)

Mr. Lurchman, please just wait.

- He's not supposed to be here.

- Yes I am. I'm on the schedule for 9:15.

- We need to talk about that. Okay, Carl?

- Not now, Sam. I, I am, I'm supposed to be working.

- Sam, you said you were gonna tell him.

- Well, I was gonna tell him- - Tell me what?

- [Carol] Glenwood? Glenwood?

- Come with me.

Carl, you can't work here anymore.

- What? But, I follow all the rules.

- I know you do.

- If I follow all the rules, I can't be fired.

- Well, it doesn't always work that way.

- Yes, it does.

- Well, I wish it did.

- Yes, it does! It works that way!

It works that... - Hey.

- It works that way... - Hey, hey, hey...

- That's how it works!

- Hey, I wish... - It should work that way!

- I know it- - Why it doesn't...

It's not fair!

It's just...(indistinct) - Hey! Hey! Hey.

- Hey, I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.

What can I do to make it up to you?

I'm sorry.

- Chase the storm.

- What storm?

- The supercell I am predicting.

- Are you serious?

- Yes.

- Okay, mm-hmm.

But don't tell Lillian.

- Okay! - Okay! (laughs)

Suck my farts, Lurchman!

(people laughing)

(Mr. Lurchman clears his throat)

- Everybody, check out the ribeye special today!

- Go pack your stuff.

- Yeah! - Okay.

- Maybe we could all go make dinner tonight.

(Lewis humming)

(Lewis making sound effects)

(Lewis knocking)

- Sammo, what is up?

- [Sam] Close the door! - Okay.

- No, I mean come in here and close the door. (laughs)

Come in here and close the door.

- I thought you were like changing or something.

(Lewis sighs)

- (laughs) Didn't you give blood?

- Plasma, actually. I needed the extra cash.

- Well, do you need something to eat?

- Probably. They said something about sugar.

- I'm ready, Sam. I'm...

Oh, hi, Lewis.

- Hey, what's up Carlito?

- [Carl] The sky. Are you comin' too?

- Yeah, man. For sure.

Alright. Cool, we got it?

- Yeah. - Alright.

Where we goin'?

- Okay, pay attention.

- Cool. - Mom's in jail.

- Gangster. - Carl was fired.

- Oh, Lurchman!

- We're chasing the storm. - Cool.

- Don't tell Lillian.

- Wait, wait. Lillian is like here.

- Lewis.

- Hey, Lily!

Oh my God. Or uh, hi!

- Hi.

- Hi, it's Lewis.

- Ah, right, I knew that.

- I'm an adult now.

I just, you know, it's been awhile.

- Cool.

- Yeah, no I'm, I'm doin' pretty well actually.

You know, we're workin' at the grocery store,

and you know, that's only,

that only goes up, you know. - He's doin' a great job.

- That's, that's a big ladder, so...

- Cool! - It's great to see you!

How...Oh!

- Wait, where are you guys going?

Where are you guys goin'? (laughs)

- We're going to get ice cream,

because Lewis gave blood.

- Yeah, plasma actually.

It's sort of a lot more intense.

So you know it's, ooh.

- [Sam] Mm-hmm - [Lewis] Yeah!

- Why can't you just get ice cream from the truck?

It's free and... (laughs)

- [Lewis] Ugh!

Yuk, right? - (laughs) Nah!

- Yeah.

- No, um, it's like really gross, totally freezer burned.

- Freezer burned.

So that's why we're gonna head over to the Dairy Barn.

- Yeah.

- No way. I'll come with you guys.

I haven't been there in forever.

- Oh. - Yeah.

You know what, no. You just relax.

We'll bring you back some.

- No, I wanna go.

- [Lewis] Are you sure?

You're not tired?

- I'm, I'm good guys.

- [Lewis] Okay!

- Okay! - [Lewis] Oh, okay.

- Okay! - [Lewis] Oh, okay.

- Yes, okay! - [Lewis] Oh, okay,

you're comin'. - Yeah.

I'll just grab my purse.

- Okay. Alright.

Okay, what are we gonna do?

(truck rattling)

- Why'd you bring your backpacks?

- What do you mean?

- I mean, why'd you bring them and your camcorder?

Sam? - I'm trying to drive.

- [Lillian] Sam? - [Sam] What?

- [Lillian] You passed the Dairy Barn.

- We're not goin' to the Dairy Barn.

- [Lillian] Uh, where are we going?

- I do not know.

- Yes you do. What are you doing?

- We're going to chase a storm. Yes...

- Do you know about this?

- What? - Did you know we're

going to chase a storm?

- I can't hear you. It's too...

- [Lillian] Okay, - It's loud.

- [Lillian] You didn't know.

- Ah! Sorry.

- Sam?

- I tried to get you to stay at home.

- [Lillian] Turn the truck around.

- [Sam And Lewis] No!

- Oh, okay. Now can hear?

This is exactly why I came.

You have no idea what you're doing.

- I have a plan.

- [Lillian] Oh, so we're just gonna follow Carl's plan.

- Yeah, we are. - [Carl] Yeah.

- Oh, well, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

While you film everything.

This is ridiculous. (tires screeching)

- Get out!

- Oh, shit.

- Are you serious?

- This is an unnecessary stop.

We have to keep going.

- We'll keep going as soon as Lillian gets out.

- Lillian, get out.

- I'm not getting out.

- Then you're coming with us.

Those are the only two options.

- Um, I'm in charge here.

So you're gonna turn this truck around.

- (laughs) You're in charge?

- [Lillian] Yeah.

- Okay. Let's turn the truck around.

That sounds like a great idea.

Lewis and I can go back to working at Whaley's,

and Carl can sit at home alone.

And you can do, who knows what, with your spare time,

in the town that you absolutely hate.

(fly buzzes)

- We don't have any money.

- Oh no, actually we got that covered.

Thank you, plasma!

- I thank you, plasma.

- Oh, and plasma is very welcome.

- You know, plasma can't talk, right?

(truck idling)

- Okay.

- Okay?

- Okay!

- But no lawbreaking or anything like that.

- Totally no lawbreaking whatsoever.

- Well, let's go.

We're heading west. Let's go.

- Good bye, town!

- [Carl] Good bye! (name tag hitting the ground)

(peaceful banjo music)

- Alright, let me list four things that are at this party.

One, two clowns.

A man dressed up like Wolverine with real knives

on his hands! - No way, I'm not doing that.

- Come on, you guys gotta come with me.

If I show up alone,

I'm gonna look like a freakin loser!

- (laughs) And you think me and Carl coming with you

will make it better?

- Yeah, 'cause Jessica Ramirez is gonna be there.

- Oh gosh.

- Well, who is Jessica Ramirez?

- Ah, she's, she's the love of my life.

I mean, besides you, of course.

But like with her, it's like, I don't know.

- That's enough...

- I just, I see the galaxy in her eyes,

and I just wanna explore.

- Okay, she has a boyfriend, Lew.

- Actually, they're kind of on the rocks now.

Rumor has it that her and Jake M.

are takin' a break this summer.

And you know what a break means.

- I know what a break means. - It means Lewis can hang out-

- Why don't you tell me, whose party is it? Oh gosh.

- Uh, it is at Molly and Polly Thompson's house.

So, those people.

- The Thompson twins. - The Thompson twins.

- No way. Mm-mm.

- No? I know that you have a little hairy history with them,

but that whole hair fiasco happened ages ago, Sam.

- Oh my gosh, it was six months ago.

- Yeah, ages.

- Now everyone can tell them apart

because Molly looks like a Chia Pet.

- No, oh, it was Polly, Polly - [Sam and Lewis] Polly, Polly

looks like a Chia Pet

- Wait, what happened?

- My gum fell in her hair during dodge ball.

- Fell, fell. But she deserved it.

I mean, no one,

no one makes fun of Carlito, right?

No one makes fun of Carlito, am I right?

- A lot of people make fun of me.

- Well, me too.

- So was that an accident?

- Of course it was an accident.

- We missed our exit!

- What?

- No, no, we're supposed to turn up here, on exit 103.

- No, you're wrong.

We were supposed to turn on exit 309.

We missed our turn. - 309?

That was like two hours ago.

- Yeah. No way.

- [Carl] Lillian, you were supposed to look at the map.

- I was looking at the map.

You told me the wrong exit.

- He did not tell you the wrong exit.

- Oh, really?

- You just weren't listening to him.

- Okay, we don't have to fight, guys.

- Okay, we're not fighting.

- [Sam] You don't drive very well

and you definitely can't navigate.

So, I don't know why you're complaining.

- Okay, why don't you navigate from the driver's seat?

- You know what?

We'd probably have better luck that way.

- I can hold that-

- You're running off the road.

- Okay, okay, we're all fine. We're alive.

- [Sam] Let's just take a look.

Well, here we go.

We'll take a look.

- [Lillian] I'm getting out!

It's so freakin' hot!

- [Carl] Move.

- [Lewis] Oh, sorry.

- [Carl] I don't know what they're doing.

- Sorry. Yeah, no, you go ahead.

I'll just, I'll just, uh...

I'll hang here.

- [Sam] Alright. - Alright!

- Okay. - Let me show you.

We are, here!

- No, we, we're here.

- No, Carl. I'm almost 100% sure we're here!

- Well, I don't know where we are,

but my bet is that Carl is right.

- Okay, he wasn't even looking at the map.

And you drive like a crazy person.

So why don't you take the map and I'll drive?

- Okay, how 'bout we actually give Carl the map

and I will drive.

- You can't drive forever. And I'm the oldest.

Just give me the keys. - No way!

- Give them to me!

- You drive like freakin' Methuselah!

I'm not letting you drive.

- What does having snakes for hair have to do with anything?

- Methuselah.

The oldest man in the Bible.

You drive like the oldest human that has ever lived!

- (laughs) Well, they didn't even have cars back then.

So give me the keys.

- You have to get 'em from me first.

(sisters screaming)

- [Lillian] Give them to me! - [Sam] No!

- [Lillian] Stop! Give 'em to me!

- (screaming) Drop 'em!

- Ow! No!

(Sam preparing to spit) - Don't you do it!

- I'll do it.

- Okay, I'll give 'em to you.

- Swear. - I swear, I swear.

I swear.

- Oh, my gosh!

(sisters screaming)

- [Lewis] Okay.

(truck sputtering)

- [Lillian] I can't get it cranked!

(upbeat music)

- It's time to eat.

- We'll stop somewhere soon.

- But no, we have to go now.

The time is now. It's it's getting late, ya know?

- Hey, Carl, how long until we hit the storm?

- Well, I can't be the exact judge of that.

Weather patterns have to run their course.

- Okay well, like ballpark it.

- What do you mean?

- [Lewis] Like give me an estimation.

- Why did you not just say estimation?

- It's a saying.

- Well, it doesn't make any sense, sorry but...

My estimation is that a low pressure system

will hit west of here in two days,

in the late afternoon, due to the drought.

And heavy winds coming in from the west.

Now this however, is just an estimation,

as 100% accuracy in meteorology is impossible.

- (laughs) God, smart as hell!

Hey Sam, how come all the brains went to Carl?

- Look, who's talking.

- [Lewis] Well, yeah.

- Wait, did you say two days?

- Oh yes, in two days the storm is set the hit.

- Then why did we leave today?

- Well, we need time.

It's better to arrive early and wait.

Like I said, weather patterns have to run their course.

They are very unpredictable. - Unpredictable.

- We need to eat.

- [Sam] We know. Lillian's finding a place.

- [Carl] We'll tell her to hurry up.

- Tell her yourself.

- Lillian, hurry!

- I heard you, Carl.

We'll stop in like 30 minutes.

- But in 30 minutes, it'll be too late then.

- [Lillian] Carl, it's just 30 minutes. (laughs)

You can wait that long.

- (moaning) Ah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh no!

My stomach's not feeling too good!

Ooh!

- What's wrong with your eye?

- Ooh, aah. (moans) I think I gave too much plasma,

and didn't get any food or somethin'.

Oh, my God! - Oh, my gosh.

Lewis you're fine.

- Uh, no, this is real. We gotta stop pronto.

- Guys, can you please stop acting like babies?

- I don't know, Lil. He looks really bad.

- Ah, it's pretty bad, Lil.

I may need like, gosh, mouth-to-mouth or somethin',

from like the driver who know, ya know.

- Do you know what mouth-to-mouth is for?

- I don't, but we may need it for this.

- Yeah, he really might.

- Yeah, Lillian, he really might. (laughs)

- Okay. I'm just gonna stop at the next place.

- Ah, yay! But aah, still!

(Lewis slurping)

- He's doin' it.

- He's really doin' it.

- [Carl] You're drinkin', you're drinkin'.

(Lewis slurping) - [Carl] Still drinkin'.

- [Lewis] Done.

- [Carl] Nice.

- [Lewis] How fast, let's see how fast you can drink it.

- [Carl] Depends. What kind of drink was it?

- (whispering) Please don't come over here.

Please don't come over here.

- Hey!

- Hey.

- Lewis is feeling better.

He (laughs) hasn't changed a bit.

- Yeah?

- So, what's his deal now?

- What's his deal?

- Yeah I mean,

does he always hang out with you and Carl?

- Yeah, pretty much.

- What about his brother?

Does he ever hang out with you guys?

- Uh, not really.

He kinda keeps a big distance

between him and his family.

- But they know he's here, right?

- I don't know. It's up to him.

- Yeah, but they're gonna be worried about him

when he doesn't come home tonight.

- I don't know.

- What?

- They kind of just let them do whatever.

- Yeah, but that doesn't mean they don't-

- Look, we don't talk about his family, okay?

- Why?

- Because they suck.

It's a waste of time to talk

about people who don't care.

They don't care, so just leave it alone.

- What were you filming?

- I don't know. Just random stuff.

- I'm surprised you still do that.

- I don't really do it that much.

I just film random stuff every now and then.

Like it's not like a thing of mine anymore.

I just brought it to document for Carl.

- I think it's cool that you still use it.

- [Lewis] From inside the gazebo.

- [Carl] What, are you too afraid to leave the gazebo?

- I don't know, maybe.

Maybe I like the safe indoor, outdoors

as opposed to just the outdoors.

- Well, okay.

- [Lillian] So, how is senior year?

- Same as the rest.

- How were the rest?

- Sucky.

- Sounds about right.

- What about you, what have you been up to?

- I don't know.

I work at, I manage (laughs) at this restaurant.

- That's cool. Do you like it?

- I don't know. It's not bad.

I mean, they are like nice people there.

I have this friend, (laughs) Jennifer,

and she works with me.

But a lot of times we don't work the same shift

'cause she has two kids.

And so then I'll watch,

I'll watch her kids.

And so between working and watching her kids,

I stay pretty busy. - That's great.

- Yo, sisters!

Let's go! I'll take the night shift.

- (laughs) Cool.

- I'm gonna take the front.

- (whispers) I got more fries.

- (whispers) Yes!

Mm, that looks good.

Yeah.

(quiet music)

- Hey, um...

- [Lewis] I think I ran... Sorry, that was a pothole.

- Please be careful.

- [Lillian] So, you work at Whaley's with Sam and Carl?

- Mm-hmm. Um, ah, sounds like it's just Sam now, but yeah.

I just sort of stock milk and lift heavy stuff in general.

Yeah. - [Lillian] Sounds like fun.

- Explains why I'm so buff.

- (laughs) Oh my gosh.

(semi blowing horn)

What about your brother? Is he still in town?

- No.

- (laughs) Did you know I had the biggest crush

on him in high school?

Where is he?

Where's he now?

- I, I don't know.

Probably cruisin' in a, in a big city somewhere.

- Do you think you'll leave?

- I don't know. You are asking a lot of questions.

Are you like flirting?

'Cause I don't think this is the time nor the place.

- [Lillian] Lewis!

- Just this isn't romantic. It's not me.

This is just a terrible setting

- [Lillian] Lewis! - [Lewis] for our date.

- Lew?

- Sorry.

- So Sam said your family's not the best.

Hey, listen, there's no judgment here.

I mean, our mom is in jail.

- Yesh, she a gangsta', see?

- It's not funny.

I didn't have a plan when I left.

I just wanted to leave.

- So when you made a rash, emotional decision,

you had no plan?

Wow, that's really surprising.

- I shouldn't have left the way I did.

So I'm just saying like, if you're gonna leave,

think about what you're doing before you go.

And if, if you do leave, you don't like have to.

- Why'd you come back?

- To take care of Sam and Carl. Really.

- You are a little late to that party.

- Yeah. - A little.

- Yeah, everyone's made that quite apparent.

- But, yeah, you're,

you're back now, so that's cool.

- Hey, I'm really trying.

- You just gotta give it time, you know?

Sammo's tough.

- (laughs) No lie.

- Do you wanna jam out?

- Well, they're asleep.

- Can have a silent dance party.

- (laughs) What? - Yeah, silent dance party.

(mimicking music)

There's no music, but there's dance.

♪ There's no music ♪

♪ But there's dance ♪

♪ There's no music ♪

♪ But there's dan, dan, dan ♪

♪ Shoulder, shoulder, shoulder, shoulder, shoulder ♪

♪ Head around ♪

♪ Head around ♪

- (laughs) And I don't think you should do that.

- It's okay. I'm amazing at driving.

- (laughs) Okay.

(engine hissing) - [Sam] What happened?

- I don't know.

I drove all night and it was fine.

- We have to get back on the road.

We're gonna miss the storm.

- Look, let's ask him for help! All good.

Excuse me, sir.

- [Lewis] Hey, excuse me!

- [Lillian] I don't think he can hear you.

(speed metal music)

- Bad A!

- We're gonna be late, Sam.

- We're fine. We're running early.

Who should I ask for help?

- Uh, let's ask him.

- Oh, the guy who just whooped that guy's butt.

I think I'm good actually.

- Well, he's in a better mood

than the guy that lost, so-

- Then you talk to him then.

- Will somebody ask someone?

- I will. - Ooh, you know what?

You should give him one of these.

- Since when do you smoke? - [Lewis] As a peace offering.

Oh, I don't.

I just, I stole 'em out of your mom's purse.

'Cause I thought we could like, I dunno.

I thought when we find the storm,

we could have a couple of celebration cigs!

Here, just hand it to him and go,

"Do you wanna light?"

- Lewis, that doesn't make any sense. (laughs)

- It actually does, because my sister's,

well, step sister's boyfriend,

used to be a boxer,

and he loves smoking- - Okay!

Well, if you know how it's done, why don't you go do it?

- Alright, fun. Watch and learn.

(Lewis thuds) - Oh. Okay.

- What is he doing?

- I don't know. Lewis stuff.

Supposedly asking for help.

- Are you filming this?

- (laughs) Heck yes, I'm filming this.

- Hey man, you wanna light?

- Do I wanna what?

- [Lewis] You wanna light?

- You wanna fight?

Just put on the gloves. - No, no, no, no, no.

I mean like (mumbling). Oh, my gosh!

- No mouthpiece? - Uh...

- You ready?

- [Lewis] Yeah. What?

Yeah!

(intense music)

Aah!

(Billy hits Lewis)

Oow! (thuds)

Oh!

- Lewis got hit.

- What the actual hell, man?

- Shit, man, you said you were ready. (laughs)

I thought you wanted to fight.

- No, I said a light, like a, like a cigarette, man.

- What the hell would I wanna light for?

- [Lewis] I don't know, (crying) it was Sam's idea.

- Who? - No, it wasn't.

- [Lewis] Oh, my God! Oh, okay.

I think I'm gonna throw up.

- Jimmy, bring me a bucket, please!

I'm sorry. - You okay?

- [Lewis] Are you kiddin' me?

He's so lucky I did... Ooh!

- Ah, very lucky.

- [Jimmy] Here's your bucket, boss.

- [Lewis] Thank you. (throwing up)

- I'm sorry.

I just get a little crazy sometimes,

and he, he challenged me, so I...

- Uh, we're actually in a really big hurry.

Do you know where the closest mechanic is?

Or do you have a phone we can use?

Our ice cream truck broke down and we're kind of in a hurry.

- Well, it isn't actually

an ice cream truck, ice cream truck.

I don't totally agree with what these guys are doin'.

And I'm, I'm like their guardian.

And so I'm...Ah, kids, am I right? (laughs)

- Where are you goin'?

- We're chasing a storm.

Specifically an LP supercell.

Do you know what an LP supercell is?

It's when a low pressure system-

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, pal.

I'm not followin' that.

What are you guys, like storm chasers, or something?

- Yes, and we're gonna be late

if we don't get back on the road.

- You think you can help us out?

- Storm chasers?

Wow, you kids are pretty bad ass.

Jimmy got your tools?

Help 'em out? - I think, boss, yeah.

Right this way, ladies.

- You heard the man.

- Thank you!

- Go chase your storm.

- Okay. - Thank you!

- Yeah.

- [Lewis] Thank you, sir.

- You got it. Keep that bucket.

I don't, I don't want it.

- Appreciate it.

- Don't sue me, okay?

- [Lewis] Of course not.

He taught us so many lessons.

- Thank you.

(semi blowing horn)

(Lillian sneezes)

Bless you.

- Thank you.

- It's the Wilson sisters' RV, look!

- Carl, you've gotta stop scaring me like that.

- It's there, right there.

Pull in here right now, quick!

- [Sam] Let's do it, let's do it!

- [Lewis] Alright, who are the Wilson sisters?

- Storm chasers!

- [Lewis] Alright!

- Are we seriously staying here?

- [Sam] Looks like it.

- [Lewis] Heck yeah!

Guys, that means it's celebration station time!

Whoo! (Lewis turns on music)

- Lewis, Lewis, Lewis, no!

(ice cream truck music playing)

- [Lillian] How do you turn it off? Wait, ah, Sam, Sam!

- Left button.

- I pressed the left.

(loud, whimsical music, animal sounds)

Someone help me, please.

- My left.

- I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!

- Okay, okay, okay.

Cool.

- Guys, that was so not funny.

- [Lewis] She's right, guys.

- Not funny.

(rooster crow noise)

I'm getting out. (all laughing)

- You kids are disrupting my guests

with your damn ice cream truck.

- I am so sorry about that.

We, I mean, we, it's the first time

we've driven it, and so...

- First time you've driven it.

- Okay.

- We need a room.

- What do you want, one room for all four of you?

- Yeah, with two double beds.

- Don't have it.

- You don't have a room with two double beds?

- Each room has one double bed.

That's it, that's all you get.

- Dang, am I gonna have to sleep on the floor?

- No, two people per room. Policy.

- [Lewis] I um, guess we're sharin' a bed, Lil.

- [Sam] Listen.

- No!

- I heard what you heard.

- Listen, ma'am...

- Janet.

- Janet.

You, uh, obvious...

- [Janet] Don't.

You run this place.

And, ya know,

can't you just make an exception?

Two of us can sleep on the floor. We don't care.

- Nope.

- Well, I am definitely not sleeping

in the same room with you, and certainly not with Lewis.

- Yeah, I don't want her either,

but it's motel policy, right?

- Well, I'm not leaving him alone.

- Carl? He's fine.

- Well, with you, highly doubtful.

- [Janet] What's wrong with him?

- Nothing.

We'll take two rooms.

- 50 bucks.

- (laughs) Come on! What is this, the Ritz?

- You know it, sweetie.

Nope? - [Sam] Okay, plasma money.

- Yeah.

♪ Got it ♪

♪ Findin' it ♪

♪ Cause I don't believe in wallets ♪

Yo! Found it.

- That's all you got for plasma?

- No, I spent half of it wining and dining you guys

last night at that burger shack.

So, um...

- All we have is 50,

and we need money to get back home.

So do you think you can-

- Fine, 40.

- 25.

- 30, that's final.

- Done. Lewis.

- Check out is at 10.

- Thanks. - Enjoy.

- Alright!

I mean, I can sleep on the floor.

- Don't be an idiot.

- [Lewis] Nice!

Nice!

Oh my gosh, I'm so tired.

- Me too. (sighs)

(Lewis farts)

- (laughs) what?

- [Lewis] Sorry, I was holdin' that all day.

- And you decide to let it out now!

- Well, yeah, I'm not gonna fart in the van with Lillian.

- Oh, okay. Are you even a human being?

- Nah, I'm just a guy, Sammo. (laughs)

Just a guy full of farts.

(Sam laughs)

I'm gonna go to bed.

- Me too.

- So what ya readin'?

Carl?

You know, it's gettin' late.

I think we should probably go to sleep.

- (mumbling) Hey, can you not move around?

I didn't know if you already moved around.

- Sorry.

- It's okay, it's okay.

- It's kind of interesting that the Wilson sisters are here

with their RV.

It's kind of an interesting motel.

Don't you think?

Lewis?

- Uh, hm-hmm.

- It's an interesting motel.

Don't ya think?

- Yeah.

Yeah, it's an interesting motel.

- Do you think that we're in a sketchy part of town?

- I don't know. I didn't see much of a town.

- Maybe I should check on Carl and Lillian.

- Mm. Maybe, maybe you shouldn't do that.

I think they're fine.

- Well, you don't know that.

- Well, I do know that they don't need to be checked on.

- Looks like pajamas, tooth brush.

Hey, Carl, can you brush your teeth and get changed?

Carl.

I'm asking you a question.

- Lillian, I'm reading!

- Well, I've asked you if he could get ready for-

- It was a very important part.

- It's not important.

You need to get ready for bed.

- I like reading before going to bed.

- I know, I will let you read too,

if you just put on your pajamas and brush your teeth. It's -

Just get ready for bed.

Okay?

(door slams)

- Well it's normal for families

to be worried about each other.

- Mm-hmm, but, you know, maybe not this much.

Maybe you can, you don't have to have

such a (laughs) tight grip on everything.

- I don't have a tight grip on everything!

- Yeah, (laughs) yeah, you do.

Especially how you said that it sounds like you were...

- Well, does your mom know you're here,

'cause she's probably really worried.

- Yeah, she, she knows I'm with you guys.

It's okay.

I don't know, maybe you should just go.

Maybe you should go to just check on Carl or somethin'.

- I thought you said I shouldn't worry so much.

- Alright, well, maybe you should.

Maybe you should check on Carl,

and do whatever you have to do or just go.

(unzips backpack)

(door closes)

- No, my God.

It's fine.

No! He's totally and completely fine!

- Can I help you?

- Hi.

- I don't need any towels.

Or I'm... Yeah.

- Oh, you think I'm the maid. I'm not.

- So you're just standin' outside my room?

- Well it looks that way, but I am not.

- Are you okay?

- Uh me? I'm fine.

Are you fine? You look fine.

I mean, good.

Like you look, like I feel good,

and I hope you feel good as well.

- I'm Nicholas.

- Nicholas.

- I don't know why I said that.

I hate my full name.

I'm, I go by Nick.

- Me too.

I mean, I hate my full name too. (laughs)

- Yeah.

Well, what is your name?

- Sam. - Sam.

So can I help you with anything?

- Oh, no.

I'm going back to my-

- Sam? - What?

- What are you doing?

- I was, nothing. I was just talking to Nick.

- Nick. - Nicholas.

I mean, yeah. - Nick, yeah.

- Sorry, Nick.

- Who is Nick, Nicholas, Nick?

- Hi, um, I'm Nick, um...

Well, I'm gonna go get some ice.

Excuse me. - [Sam] Okay.

- What are you doing talking to him?

- He was talking to me.

He was!

- What are you doing out here?

- I'm getting some fresh air.

- In the middle of the hall?

- Yeah, it's called walking.

- Yeah, walking to our room to check on Carl.

- No, to give you this shirt. You smell.

- Really?

- (laughs) Yeah.

- I don't even know (laughs) why I'm arguing with you

about this, because I can totally tell you're lying.

- I have the shirt.

- The shirt is an excuse.

- Please.

- You're the worst liar in the world,

because you do that thing with your face.

- What thing with my face?

- That right there.

- A smile?

- Yeah, it's as if you're,

you're really saying I am lying,

and I know it and I love it.

- Okay, I was gonna go check on Carl

but only because you don't know what to do with him.

- Please, I can interact with my own brother.

- You don't know anything about him,

and you don't know how to take care of him.

- Well, maybe he doesn't need you

as much as you think, Sam.

- Excuse me.

Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Shut up.

- Someone has a crush on the mysterious motel guy. (laughs)

- Stop! I was replying to his reply.

- Replying to his reply?

- Yes! So what's the deal?

- What deal?

- With Carl.

- What about him?

- Well, has he brushed his-

- Teeth? Yeah.

- Well he likes to- - read before falling asleep.

I know.

- So he's in bed reading.

- He's fine, Sam.

(gentle music)

- Okay, here's your shirt. (Lillian laughs)

I'm going to bed.

- (mocking) Good night.

Hey, I'll let you know if he needs anything, okay?

(gentle music)

- You left during a thunderstorm.

- You remember that?

- I remember everything.

- I'm sorry I didn't come see you.

- Or Sam.

- Or Sam.

- Sam was sad when you left.

- Were you sad?

- Yes.

- I really missed you.

- Well, when you miss someone

you visit them.

- It's a little more complicated than that.

- No, it's not.

(gentle music)

- I'm glad we get to hang out now.

- Thunderstorms are created when low pressure systems

become so condensed that they convect.

Meaning that the upper layer of the storm

is hot and humid, but the low layer is cold,

creating what's known as a cumulonimbus cloud.

Do you know that they can be up to 12 miles high?

- Huh, that's crazy.

- They can, but I don't think that the storm we're chasing

will just be a regular thunderstorm.

It will most likely be a supercell.

Specifically an LP supercell.

Do you know what LP stands for?

Low precipitation.

(gentle music)

(birds chirping)

(Lewis snoring)

- Ow! Gosh.

- Hi.

- Oh, my God.

Wake up, wake up!

Wake up, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Wake up. We have five minutes to get out of here.

- What? - [Sam] Yeah!

- Oh, shit!

(phone crashing)

- (knocking) [Sam] You guys!

- [Lewis] Let's go!

- [Sam] Are you guys up?

- Yes, we're up!

Jeez, God.

- Don't look tired.

We've been, look like we've been ready.

You guys, (knocking) come on.

We're gonna be late. - Carl.

Carl?

Carl.

- [Lewis] Come on!

- [Lillian] Hang on!

It's okay.

It's okay.

- [Sam] Y'all, we're gonna be charged. Come on!

Lillian!

- Coming!

I can't find Carl.

- What? - What?

- I mean, he's just not in the room.

- You lost him.

- I didn't lose him.

I just can't find him.

- [Lewis] Okay, you're sleeping in the dog house.

- Lewis! Was he with you last night before bed?

- Of course he was here.

- Shit. He runs away all the time.

I knew you'd lose him.

- Sam, it's fine.

He's probably around here,

taking field notes or whatever, right?

- Right, right.

- [Lewis] Or whatever, it's cool.

- Have you seen my brother?

- Just in time. - What?

- You are lucky.

Got your keys?

(keys clattering)

- Here, have you seen him?

- The weird one?

- Yeah.

- No.

- Hey, if he comes back here,

will you please tell him just to stay?

Sam.

Wait, I'm sorry.

- [Sam] What if someone took him?

- [Lewis] No one took him.

- [Sam] You don't know that!

- Sam, he's probably just back at the room.

- He's not in the room.

We just gave her the keys.

I left him out of my sight once, and you screwed it over.

- I didn't mean to lose him.

- Yeah, well, I wouldn't be so sure of that.

- [Lewis] You guys! - What?

- There's a field behind the motel.

- There'll be a supercell.

And when it comes, it will, ya know,

come by and will like, end this drought.

- Will there be like bad winds and stuff?

- There'll be plenty of bad winds.

It'll be almost like, think of tornado.

It's like half of that. - Oh my gosh!

- It's a, it's comin'. It's gonna.

It's gonna make an impact.

- Dang it!

- Like from this way up and then...

- Carl!

Carl! - [Lewis] Guys! Sam

- [Lillian] Carl, you can't just leave like that.

- We've had this conversation 10 million times.

- Well, that's nearly impossible

to have the exact same conversation that many times-

- [Sam] You know what I mean!

- Okay. Well it's fine.

We got him. We're good.

We're gonna go? - Shut up Lewis!

You are not part of this family.

You don't know what it feels like.

- I was just talking to-

- I'm Erika.

Okay, I'm gonna go.

- You can't just leave like that.

I thought you'd been taken or something.

- I was just checking the wind patterns.

And, and- - You have to stay close by.

- I was writing observations.

- Are you listening to me? I was freaking out.

- I was just telling her about the storm.

- Carl, I don't care about the storm.

Don't you understand?

- I understand.

I'm not baby.

I don't need you!

- Jeez.

Come on, Carl.

- Why would you do that?

Why would you do that?

- You do not care about the storm.

All you do is control me.

- (laughs) Control you?

We're chasing this stupid storm for you. (crying)

Lewis and I left our jobs for you,

stopped for you to eat, and check the weather and...

I don't even know who I am without you,

because all I do is try and make you happy.

And all you care about is this stupid storm.

- That's not true.

I care about a lot of things.

- Yeah. Weather patterns and low pressure systems

and shit like that.

- It's not shit. That's not all I care about.

- Really, Carl, what else do you care about?

'Cause I would love to know.

Yeah. That's what I thought.

- It's really not, it's, it's, it's actually not that bad-

- I'm tired of being the only one

to keep this shitty family together!

- You're not the only one that's trying.

Sam, where are you going?

- To chase this stupid storm, dammit!

(easy banjo music)

(melodic music)

(engine sputtering) - Oh no. No, no, no, no, no.

- What? What's up?

- I think we just ran out of gas.

But the needle says we have half a tank.

- The needle is broken.

- Well, why am I just finding out about this?

- It's all good.

We'll just, we'll just coast.

Try and find a place to stop.

- We have to keep going.

The storm's close.

- What's going on?

- We've run out of gas, but don't worry.

I'm just gonna coast and- - Look there!

Pull in there!

- We have to get back on the road.

- I know.

What are we gonna do?

- We can hitch!

- And get murdered.

- I'll just take 'em out.

- Like you did in the boxing ring.

- Yeah.

- We have to get back on the road.

- I know.

Carl, why don't you go to the bathroom really quick?

- But I don't have to go.

- Yeah, but you might need to later,

and then we'll have to stop again.

- Yeah, and I'll go with you 'cause, whoo,

that bag of onion rings I found is speakin' to me.

- Gross.

- Help me find a tube.

- A tube.

- There's a truck over there, see.

- What are you doing?

- We need gas, right?

- You've gotta be kidding me. (laughs)

- Quick, before Carl gets back or he'll freak.

- You know you're gonna need more than a tube, right?

- So you've done this before.

- When I was a kid.

- Well, are you gonna help me or not?

- I refuse to participate

in another one of your unrealistic ideas.

- So you're just gonna leave me here

to fix this on my own?

Sounds familiar.

- So are we talking about the gas or something else?

- I don't know, you tell me!

- What do you want?

- (laughs) Oh my gosh, the tube.

- No, I mean, what do you wanna get out of this?

- To find the storm.

- That's it.

You're gonna find the storm and then what's next?

- I don't know, Lillian.

- What about your jobs?

What's gonna happen to them when you get back.

- I don't know.

- What's your plan?

- Well, right now it's to steal this gas.

- What about the people you're stealing it from?

Have you thought about them for a minute?

- (laughs) I don't understand you.

- Understand me.

- Yeah. You're more worried about a complete stranger.

- Because I'm a decent person.

You're just gonna leave them to fend for themselves.

- That's never been an issue for you.

- So we're not talking about the gas.

- [Sam] I'm talking about the gas.

- No, you're talking about me leaving.

- I could give two craps about you leaving.

- Just say it.

You have been dying to say it.

Just say it.

- (laughs) Where's the tube?

You really wanna know what I want out of this?

- Yes I do. Please enlighten me.

- I just want us to feel like a normal family.

- You make it really hard to love you.

- I know.

- I can't believe we're doing this.

- Shh! Quick, before they get back.

- Do you hear that?

- I think it's the church. Come on.

♪ Psycho, psycho misfits ♪

- Hide!

♪ Psycho, psycho misfits ♪

Crap!

Carl?

- We got gas.

- Alright, you can keep this. It's on me.

- Thank you.

- You're gonna make out so hard.

Look who saved the day, ladies.

- I should probably go help them with that.

- Hey.

- You must be Sam?

- Uh, yeah.

- Your brother's told me all about you.

Mighty fine fella.

- Thanks.

Sorry, he probably talked your ears off.

- Why are you apologizing for him?

He didn't do anything.

Except maybe break your camera,

and he feels mighty bad about that.

- Yeah, he did.

Our family is not normal.

- (laughs) Well, what is that?

- What? (laughs)

- What is normal?

- Uh, well...

I don't know.

- There's no such thing as normal.

It doesn't exist.

I gotta go.

It's revival tonight,

and I don't wanna miss my sweetheart's solo.

(Sam laughs)

Oh, almost forgot.

It's got a good beat.

Different.

Oh, I hope you, uh, find what you're looking for.

(gentle music)

- [Carl] We have gas.

(all laughing)

- [Lewis] For sure, man. For sure

- [Carl] This is serious.

- Carl just did that?

- Well you had Lew...

Carl just did that!

Hey, you make it really hard to love you too.

- Hey, let's go, okay?

North!

- [Sam and Lillian] West!

- [Lewis] Northwest! - [Sam] No!

- [Lewis] Just regular west!

- [Sam] Okay, regular west.

- [Lewis] I'm sittin' down, let's go!

(upbeat music)

- I don't see anything.

- I know.

- [Carl] It's supposed to be here.

It's gotta be here.

- What do we do?

I don't know what to do.

- Carl, can you come back to the truck?

- What do you want Lillian?

- The storm's not here.

- It's gonna be here.

We just need a little more time, that's all.

- No, we've waited a really long time.

- I know, just a little longer.

- It was fun.

- It was fun.

(gentle music)

- Come on, come on!

Oh, my gosh.

(thunder rolling)

(music intensifies)

(thunder crashes)

(rain falling)

(gentle music)

(easy music)

(easy banjo music)
