what the f--
- It's large item pick up day.
- Can't it wait?
I don't have a good grip.
- Funny, you look strong,
but nope.
- Yeah, well, I don't have
your training in bar brawls.
- Remember that time
I got arrested?
- Oh, when you used
your one call to let me know
That you wouldn't
be home for dinner.
- See, I can be thoughtful.
- Ok, stop, stop, stop,
stop, stop, stop, stop.
Ok.
- Since we're reminiscing,
do you remember when you told me
That my dad was a nasa astronaut
named ziggy stardust?
aw. You were so gullible.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, I got acquainted
with him last night.
Turns out his name's
alistair, from ottawa.
Wait, no, I'm not ready!
Hey, I'm not ready!
Well, I'm glad we had this talk.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Why are you still
in your jammies?
- I miss fluffy and charlie.
- Oh, baby.
I know things are
weird right now,
But it's going to be
fun staying
At grandma's
for a couple nights.
- And How about
I swing by the house and pick up
fluffy and charlie?
- Yay!
Fluffy and charlie!
Fluffy and charlie!
- Whoa!
- Fluffy and charlie!
- So, what's the plan, genius?
- Plan?
- Yeah.
- I don't know, mom.
I wasn't exactly planning this.
Everything I own is
still at ting's house.
My wallet, my keys, my earrings.
- Ok.
Maybe you and ting are just
going through a rough patch.
- It's not a patch!
It's my life!
- No.
- Ok, so what?
You're just gonna wait
until ting's gone
And then break into his house
and steal all your stuff back?
- Oh, that's a great idea!
You're so good at this.
- Oh, my god!
No, I was kidding. Come on.
You can't keep avoiding him.
- I'm avoiding? When were you
going to tell me about alistair?
- There's nothing to tell.
I got pregnant and he left.
End of story.
- Super shamou!
- Hey, super shamou.
Backpack.
- Hi, babe.
bye, grandma! See you later!
- You know, you're not
really using my old bedroom.
Maybe bun and I could
- No, I am using this room.
To store my knick-knacks.
- Huh. Your knick-knacks.
- Yeah. My knick-knacks.
- What kind of knick-knacks?
- All my knick-knacks!
- Fine, but I gotta pick up
my stuff today,
So I'm taking the skidoo.
I'll pick you up
after school, ok?
- Ok. Don't forget
fluffy and charlie!
- I promise.
She thinks she's so ever.
I wonder if ting's single now.
Tv's not working.
I must have the wrong room.
I was looking for somebody else.

that I had a daughter?
Hey.

or something like that.

Plus, just got my nails done.
Ask millie.
Hey!

I hate you so much right now.
- Let's keep this
on the down low, but I need
To break into tink's house,
which I know is a felony,
But that's my stuff,
and I need it,
And I'm in desperate need
of a vehicle,
So could I maybe
borrow one of yours?
- Jason's got it.
- Crashed it.
- What about liam?
- We broke up months ago.
- Shit. I'm sorry.
I should have known that.
And I vow to be a better friend
once I figure this out.
Hey
Am I a loser?
- No. Why do you ask?
- I just blew up my life
without any sort of plan.
You know, no job,
no ride, no home.
- No clue.
- Millie!
- Well
- No, she's right.
I have no clue what to do next.
- It's a long ass wait list,
but you can ask elisapee
For a housing application.
- Thank you. I will.
- Siaja
You did what you had to do.
Right, millie?
garbage.

I got it.
Let it all out.
- I didn't even eat corn.
- Look who the devil brought in.
- Hey, elisapee.
Uh, could I get
a housing application?
- Don't hold your breath.
- Jeffrey, why would I
disrespect you?
I told you I was sorry.
Can't you accept my apology?
- You're not listening
to me, helen.
- You know how much I care
about this community.
- All I'm saying is, I'm one man
doing a three-man job.
- So that's it, you're just
gonna quit, no warning?
- Louise is parked out back.
I'm going back to my shoe.
- Argh!
- I can do it.
- Do what?
- Large-item pickup.
You're down an employee.
So hire me.
- I don't think so.
- I kind of owe you for
how things went down last night.
- How things went down?
Siaja, you
- Come on!
You fingered the whole town.
- Elisapee's right, there were
elders there last night
That probably haven't been
fingered their entire lives.
Siaja, this community centre
is my home.
The way you treated my guests
last night is unacceptable.
- And I'm deeply sorry!
But please, just give me
a chance to make it up to you,
Even if it's just for today.
- Can you drive a flatbed?
argh! Uh
Ok. No.
Just kidding. Heh.
Oh, my god.
Can you not?
- Not what?
- Watch me?
- Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll just Yeah.
- Go to work, bro.
You shovel
an elder's steps once.
- This one goes out
to anybody out there
Who's doing their best
to figure things out.
From 1995,
This is alanis morissette's
"you learn."
recommend sticking
your foot in your mouth
- Hey, maybe this will help.
- Thanks a lot, siaja.
- Yes! Yes!
Ok, I gotta wrap this up.
- Ok.
- You a trash man now?
- No freeloading, remember?
- You know that flatbed
goes up and down, right?
- It does?
- Yeah. Pull that lever up.
- So you're the new me, eh?
- Just for today.
- Watch out,
helen will drive you nuts
With all the extra things
she wants you to do.
And for no pay!
- Is that why you quit?
- Nah, it's
'cause she doesn't listen.
- Yeah, I get that.
- And she's mean.
I go out of my way
to give her a hand,
And she'll say stuff like,
"what can you do when
you live in a shoe?"
- Jeffrey, that's like
an old white lady saying.
Like Ajurnarmat.
Nothing can be done.
- Oh, I thought
she was making fun of me
'cause I live at the dump.
- Well Helen might be tough,
But this job is
freaking impossible.
Nobody but you can do it
day in and day out.
Well, got to go commit
a felony for bun.
I hope ting left the key
in the secret spot.
- Your best bet is
to try his back window.
- Ok! Ok!
- Hello? Ting?
I made you your favourite,
Macaroni and hot dogs.
- This one's for you, bun.
Ting?
Hello?
Ting?
No! Where's charlie?
- I know life is
really lonely right now.
- Charlie!
- Don't shut out the world!
Hey, judy!
Don't tell ting I was here!
Girl code! I'm so sorry!
- Siaja
- I owe you a casserole!
- You don't like it,
I hear you. All right.
Thanks for calling.
Bye-bye. Damn it!
Why is everybody complaining
about salt on the steps?
- Oh! Was that you?
- Yes! It's slippery,
for safety!
- It ruins our kamiks.
Our seal-skin boots?
- I know what "kah-meeks" are.
- Oh, well, it wrecks the soles
Because they're not
chemically treated.
So maybe try sand instead?
- I have been salting
the steps for years.
Why didn't anyone ever
say anything to me?
Thank you for sharing your
traditional knowledge with me.
- You're welcome.
- Namaste.
- Oh! I have money for you!
- Oh, thank you.
- For today.
thanks again.
Go for helen.
Yes, I know it should be sand.
I don't know who is
putting salt on the steps.
It's ridiculous.
seriously?
What are you doing here?
- He brought my skidoo back.
So I invited him in.
- Ok.
Thank you. You can go now.
- Siaja, we're
worried about you.
- Oh, ha-ha-ha-ha.
- See, I told you
she hasn't been herself.
- What? I'm fine.
I'm thriving.
I did large item pickup today.
Everyone sees
the musk ox, right?
- It's from when we first
got together, remember?
Oh, my god! Was this the plan?
To remind me of better days
with a stuffed musk ox?
- You said it was like
our love, wild and free.
- No, you said that!
- Ok, guys, calm down.
- Look, I can admit
I made a mistake yesterday.
You made More.
You were scared and, you know,
you acted irrationally.
- Don't talk to me
like I'm crazy!
- You broke into our house!
- Ok, yeah. I did do that.
- Come on! I would have
let you in, siaja!
I'm not a monster.
- I know that, ting!
You're charming,
and you're actually
A really great dad, but
I've been dying inside
for a long time,
And you never noticed.
- You really think
you could do better than me?
ataata!
- Ah! My little shamou.
- Mm! Are we going home?
- Bun, remember?
You and I are going
to stay with grandma.
But your ataata will pick you up
after school tomorrow.
- Right. Yeah.
It's going to be super fun.
And look who I brought over,
Fluffy and charlie,
to keep you company.
- Thank you, ataata!
- You know what, bun?
I have a perfect place for this.
Come here.
- You're making a big mistake.
Hi, helen.
Everyone's been calling me,
saying what a good job you did.
Oh. Really?
- I know it's weird, but I
I kind of liked
helping people get rid
Of the things
that were holding them back.
I might need
a tetanus shot, though.
- Also, jeffrey called,
and he said
That you cleared things up
and that he'll be
Back next week, so Thank you.
- Oh. Um You're welcome.
Well, I'd like to offer
you a job as my ea.
I know it's not what you wanted.
- I'll do it! I'll do it!
I'll do it!
- Great. You start on Monday.
- Who's the loser now, bitch?
Mom?
- In here.
- Thank you, mom.

what you're doing,
Because being a single mom is
the hardest job in the world.
