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.

- Yep, I know that voice.

- Who the hell is he?

- That's kuuk.

He's my associate.

Hotel is full, so we're sharing.

- Good to meet you.

- You need to leave town.

- Yeah, real nice

to see you too, neevee.

- No, I'm serious.

- I can't!

I'm here on a contract.

- Yeah? That's not gonna work.

- Why didn't you tell me

that I had a daughter?

Hey.

- Kuuk?

- Yeah?

- You mind giving us

some privacy?

- Yeah. I'll get some coffee

or something like that.

- Yeah, coffee's good.

- Coffees, coffees, coffees.

Ok, but one or two?

- Kuuk.

- Yeah.

Bye, nice to meet you.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- What's there to tell?

You left.

- Yeah, I left when you told me

to get the hell out of town.

- Yeah, you didn't have

to take me so seriously.

- You burned my car.

- Excuses.

- Yeah, well, you haven't

changed one bit.

- Yeah, and you got fat.

- And you look great.

- Look, siaja is going

through a lot right now.

So you just stay away

from her. Got it?

And put some clothes on.

There's kids in this town. Tss.

Jeez!

- Heh.

Your loss.

- Thank you so much.

- Why are you still home?

Hi, can I speak

with flight control, please?

Hey, brian, can you text me

when ting gets to work?

Ok. Nakurmiik.

Yes, he's single again.

Ok, fluffy and charlie,

I'll be back.

no.

no, no! Grr!

- Homewrecker!

- You're using

that word wrong, lucy!

- Listen up,

radioland, I'm gonna need

Someone to bring me

two bacon sriracha sandwiches

And a gatorade

as soon as possible, please.

My life depends on it.

Thank you.

- Hey, sorry for barging in,

But I sort of have

a 9-1-1 situation happening.

Can you fix the skidoo?

- Come on, I'm maori.

Plus, just got my nails done.

Ask millie.

Hey!

Nice sunglasses Inside.

- How are you not more hungover?

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.

- sh*t. 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 a*s 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?

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, b*tch?

Mom?

- In here.

- Thank you, mom.

- I hope you know

what you're doing,

Because being a single mom is

the hardest job in the world.

- Speaking of jobs

I got one today.

Working for helen.

What?

What? What's so funny?

Woo!
