[STAR] Is this where we're staying?

[QT] Yeah, this looks like

where we're staying.

[KALIUM] It's about damn time.

It only took, like, f***ing forever.

Is this the f***ing place?

[AUSTIN] It looks like

a f***ing crack f***ing motel.

- Oh, f***.

- F***ing bird.

[AUSTIN] Look at this f***ing place.

[JJ] There's kids right there,

watch your mouth.

Pet the poochie.

This is a sketchy-ass motel.

[AUSTIN] It looks like you go up in

there and get a good staph infection...

[MUTTERS INDISTINCT]

[JJ] I'm excited.

Hey, look, Krystal's car.

Yeah, that's Krystal's car.

- That's what her and Jake came in.

- [KALIUM] Serious?

- What the f***, y'all?

- Damn, dude!

[ALL COMPLAINING]

Chill the f*** out.

[AUSTIN] F***, man. That's some

bullshit. Get his f***ing ass.

[QT] The motherf***er can't drive, man.

- Hey, hey, hey...

- Oh, my God.

[JAKE] Star, wait up a second.

- [LAUGHS]

- [GIRL] Maybe we need to roll one up.

Hey, get your girl. This is your blanket.

[AUSTIN] Who the f*** are you talking to?

- What's up with you?

- Hey.

- Are you good?

- Yeah.

All right, so this is

your welcome packet, yeah?

So in there are the crew rules.

You gotta memorize this sh*t

by tomorrow morning.

Basically, you just, like, memorize

the first ten parts. It's quick.

This is where all the magic happens.

This is your pad case.

So it's got everything you need in there.

I got your stickers and sh*t,

so you can decorate it however you want.

- Stars.

- Yeah.

Stars for Star.

So your contract's in there.

You gotta get that signed by 7:30.

You get it to Room 233 for Krystal.

7:
30?

And Krystal's, like, she's a b*tch

until she gets to know you, you know.

But she's good people, you know? She is.

It's just she doesn't know you,

you know. You're new.

So... Oh, and, um, I got you a present.

You got me a present?

You don't have to

close your eyes or anything.

You just gotta prove to me

your real name is Star.

You're funny.

Prove to me your name is Star,

and I'll give it to you.

It was my mom's idea.

She said we're all made from stars.

From Death Stars.

Can I get my present?

I made that.

You got girly handwriting.

You're a Death Star?

Scared?

Bang. [LAUGHS]

What the f***? What's up, G?

You can't be doing that sh*t.

You came too close.

- You came too close.

- [GIGGLING] Stop.

And now you're stuck.

- And now you're stuck.

- Stop.

- And now you're stuck.

- Jake, stop.

[SIGHS] Okay.

"Be on time for all meetings,

curfews and pick-ups.

No males in female rooms.

Dress for success.

Don't tell anyone where you're staying.

Uh, "Do not talk to motel guests.

Be on time for all meetings,

curfews and pick-ups.

No males in female rooms.

Dress for success.

Do not tell anyone where you're...

[THUD]

They're gonna send us

to the spice mines of Kessell,

and they'll f*** with us.

They'll f*** with us.

Hey, don't let her go on the road.

[MUTTERING] F***...

Goddamn world of Google.

F***ing McDonald's poisonous sh*t.

F***.

Stay.

You're late.

I'm sorry. I...

Sh*t.

What's rule one?

Don't be late for anything.

B*tch, you don't make money,

I don't make money. You get it?

I'm gonna let it slide this time

because it's your first day.

You keep 20 percent of what you make,

25 if it's cash.

- Always try and get cash.

- Okay.

The rest is management fees,

goes to motels, gas.

That's basically it.

Jake'll train you.

You like that idea?

He's the best I got.

He knows everything on how to make money.

And what are we here for?

To make money?

Good.

Hold on.

Here's for food and things

till you start earning.

Thanks. I'll pay you back.

Damn straight.

This isn't no f***ing charity.

I'm gonna take it off your first paycheck.

Okay.

We have a crew meeting

at 8:
00 in the parking lot.

Where'd it go?

Point at it. Point at it.

Let's f***ing bounce. K.C., K.C.!

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- [HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

[CREW SINGING ALONG]

[ALL CHEERING]

That's right. What's up?

[JAKE]

She looks just like she wants to fight.

Nah, I'm good.

[INDISTINCT]

You see the stickers Jake got me?

- Hey, that's pretty.

- Yeah.

He got me Princess Leia stickers

when I first got here.

He got you stickers, too?

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, I used to have them on here,

but the rain kind of washed them off.

[CHUCKLES]

- Hey. Hey.

- [JAKE] Hey, shut that off.

All right.

Okay, listen up.

Where y'all headed today

is real wealthy territory.

I ain't tried this kind

of territory before,

but these people are loaded

and it shouldn't be hard.

- So what are there?

- [ALL] No excuses.

And with Loser Night

coming up in a few days,

some of y'all need to step the f*** up.

[ALL] Step the f*** up.

[ALL CHANTING]

I said one, two, three, four, five.

This loser ain't got no job.

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Let's back it up and do it again.

- Say I.

- Hey-o!

- Got money.

- Got dough.

I said sh*t, goddamn.

Get off your ass and slam.

071, 071, 071!

All right, get to work, you lazy f***ers.

[JJ] I'll tell you what.

Ain't nobody coming to my f***ing room

to take a sh*t again.

You and Runt can go to

y'all room to take a sh*t.

[AUSTIN] When I walked in the f***ing

bathroom, there was a f***ing cow patty.

[GIRL] That wasn't me. I fell asleep.

[AUSTIN] And there was

a little f***ing Hershey kiss

just floating in the toilet.

I don't give a damn who takes a sh*t

in my room as long as you flush it.

Febreze, though.

If somebody comes over to my place I ask

them to use Febreze in my bathroom,

so if you do take a sh*t, you better

spray and you better flush.

[JJ] I don't know. Everybody knew

my f***ing toilet didn't work.

[STAR] Hey, Austin.

What's Losers' Night?

That's a fun motherfucking

night right there.

Yeah, kinda, sort of.

It's a party practically.

It's where the two losers of the week...

- Whoever makes the least amount...

- Least amount of money.

...has to fight each other.

It's a game, but technically

it's not a game.

- 'Cause they're physically fighting.

- It's like a tradition.

They're putting their hands on each other.

- Krystal kinda set that sh*t up.

- Y'all are f***ed up.

- It's stupid sh*t.

- It gives us something to do.

When you're on the road most of your life,

you need something to get some sh*t out.

We gotta have something

to occupy ourselves.

Like every time he whips his dick out,

we all jump on him? It's a game.

We all have our little thing, you know.

Like when the Rihanna song comes on,

you know how, in Kmart,

we all, like, dropped.

Yeah, it's stupid sh*t. It's bullshit.

We have fun.

- It is tradition.

- [COREY] I never lose.

You know what Darth Vader

looks like inside his suit?

No. What?

He's a skeleton. Just like the rest of us.

[QT] Look at the water fountain.

The f***ing water fountain.

[AUSTIN] I was laying down, right,

and I seen these little f***ing shadows

on the f***ing ceiling dancing, dog.

- It's called acid, bro.

- [ALL LAUGH]

[JAKE] Look at this fountain.
