Scenes
At the start of the film the eccentric George (Kevin Kline) wanders out onto his yard in his underwear, and pisses off a cliff. Sixteen-year-old Alyssa (Jena Malone) watches with interest from her window. This sparks an argument with Alyssa's mother Colleen (Mary Steenburgen), who asks if it gives George perverse pleasure to expose his penis where her daughter can see it. George mentions that the plumber will be out tomorrow to fix his toilet, and asks Colleen how far she had to stick her head out the window to see his dick.
A couple minutes later, George's dog pees on another neighbor's front bumper.
