modified rapture.  even on this one, there are a few things i couldn't be sure of:

son’s shoes: Sun-bleached pre-torn[?] [something??] tops $142

father: Chocolate [something??] oxfords $525

daughter’s shoes: Classic tweed [something??] flats: $120

note the tag line for the movie:

The Joneses: They’re not just living the American dream, they’re selling it.
