Sex & Nudity

Focusing on the woman's butt and legs. There's a strip bar scene with a woman showing her breast and her butt (wearing a thong) on the stage. A great deal of sex-related banter. The "f" word is used in a sexual manner many times as a result. Joe comments that Darien will be screwing by the time she's fifteen. The side of a woman's in a Jacuzzi, left breast is shown briefly as she gets out of a pool. Jimmy asks Joe about his daughter's age and Joe responds by telling Jimmy "if you touch her i'll shove an umbrella up your ass and open it". This is played for laughs. It's revealed that Sarah has cheated on Joe with an associate of his.
