Um, they're Austrian.
And they're hand-woven.
Catholic bishops with, uh,

- Right.
What was the original price?
Oh, they were a gift.
- A gift?
- Mmhmm.
For a friend?
I could take one for 50.
Oh, no, no, they're a set.
A set of what?
Catholic bishop rats...
You know... Uh, hiding a...
secret Vatican conspiracy.
I'm not...
(IMITATES GERMAN ACCENT,

our Nazi gold?
More gold hats. (EXCLAIMS)
(CHUCKLES) Oh...
Hm.
So, um, (SMACKS LIPS)

Yeah, 480.
Your daughter loves them?

Um, she's 15.
She won't mind you
selling them, then?
Um...
Well, she's a teenager,
so, you know... (CHUCKLES)
She's just running around, uh,
drinking and chasing after
boys and stuff. So...
I'm hoping it'll take her ages

(ECHOING) I know this
policeman called Dan.
He monitors the early morning
traffic just up the road.
And he was telling me
the other day that,
(ECHOING) he was down
by the side of the road,
just keeping an eye out.
And he saw this Jeep.
Tinted windows, real
suspicious, you know?
And so he stops it, looks
in the back of the car,
- and he sees a dozen penguins.
- (GRUNTS)
(ECHOING) Just starin' at him.
Now...
Dan's a good policeman.
He's also a nice guy.
- (GRUNTS)
- So, um...
He says,
"I'll let you off this once,
"but I need you to
take these animals,
"directly to the zoo."
(GRUNTING)
And the guy apologizes
and says he will.
So, him and his penguins go off.
And the next day,
Dan's by the side of the road,
and he sees the same car.
So he stops it,
and the same man from the day
before rolls down his window.
Dan looks in the
back of the car,
- and there's a dozen penguins.
- (GRUNTS CONFUSEDLY)
This time,
they're all wearing sunglasses.
(GRUNTS QUESTIONINGLY)
- So Dan...
- (GRUNTS)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(GRUNTS ENCOURAGINGLY)
Dan says,
"Have you lost your mind?
"I told you to take these
animals directly to the zoo."
And the guy says,
"But, sir,
"we went to the zoo yesterday.
"Today, we're going
to the beach."

I just wanna play you a song.
Think you'll like it.
(IT WAS A GOOD DAY
BY ICE CUBE PLAYING)
It's about... Well,
I think it's about
someone whose life is...
so full of misery,
so full of pain,
that...
a good day is just, well...
A good day is a day
without that misery.
You know the song?
Classic.
Happy to have a day
without that pain.
Because every day is
usually just full of it.

You didn't go?
I couldn't.
I was too sick.
And only the ones that wanted

And even they
don't come anymore.
(DEATH SIGHS)
- Friends can be shit.
- (GRUNTS)
Well, I've never had a friend.
Well... I'm saying
they all left me.
Well, all beings in the world
fear and despise me.
Well, what if my
mum doesn't love me?
(IMITATES TUESDAY) Well, what
if my mum doesn't love me?
(LAUGHS)
My mother...
was a literal void of darkness.
Produced me on her own

Never spoke to me again.

I... I knew. I knew

Jonathan's an idiot.
ZORA: Yeah. He really is.
Anyway, obviously, this
batch doesn't work, so,
now we have to reschedule

And the Arbus portrait was here,
and that went to a dealer
in Camden last year.
And this is where my
bed was, obviously.
But, I mean, it was
way, way too big.
And... this is where that
massive oak closet was,
that my mom left me.
Practical, as always.
Um... (SMACKS LIPS)
Yeah, and the angel clock...
And let's whizz down here and
check out the other rooms.
So...
So you sold...
all this stuff?
Mmhmm. Yeah. Mmhmm.
Mmhmm.
Here's the bathroom,
but I have to warn you,
it's a little bit
depressing, but, you know.
Yeah, so you
remember these tiles?
I took 'em off all by myself.
I got a really good price.
But everything in
here still works,
So, come. Go in here.
It's actually kind of amazing
because I practically sold
the whole play set online.
Which is bizarre. And
the rocking horse.
Oh, remember the rats?
Those... Those, uh, bishop rats,
there was like a
set of four of 'em?
I got a great price
for those things.
You don't work anymore.
- Yeah, I do.
- Stop lying.
- Hey, watch it.
- I am watching.
And I know you don't work,
and you probably just...
drive around all
day and eat cheese.
- That's what I thought.
- Okay. That's enough.
Why did you bring me up here?
You begged me to come
up here, didn't you?
You begged me.
Come up here and what,
Mum? Feel sorry for you?
- You lower your tone.
- (SHOUTS) And watch you living
in this fucking dump?
Sorry.
It's not a fucking dump!
It's the reality
of the situation.
Isn't it?
This is what parents do.
They do what they have to do.
Okay?
And it's good to be
honest about that.
So you need to look
reality in the eye,
instead of just getting
angry at me about it.
Are you being serious right now?
Hey, cool it!
