No, no, you shut up and listen.

I'll go through the basic, the

basic things you need to know.

First don't use too

much tongue, alright.

Nobody likes that.

Number two.

Vibe it out right.

Take it slow.

It's all about feeling,

and follow her, alright.

How she feels, and third,

close your eyes, otherwise

you'll look like a rapist.

Yeah, f***ing obviously.

F***ing what do you mean obvious, Mr.

I've never kissed anyone before.

You're ready?

For what?

I am gonna teach you to kiss.

You're f***ing with me.

I'm not.

You're f***ing crazy.

What is wrong with you?

You sound f***ing high?

Me? You just

f***ing kissed me.

No, no, no, wait.

Why?

Wait!

Oye.

Hands in the air, b*tch.

What the f***.

F***ing sweet. Come on.

Let's go shoot some sh*t.

What about your dad?

What? He won't be back

for another couple of hours.

He won't even notice.

Chicken.

Come on. You wanna go?

Alright, lets do it.

Come on, lets go.

This is a terrible idea.

You see it?

Yeah.

Okay. On three.

One. Two.

Three.

Oh, f*** this.

F***!

Hey, you talked to Sarah?

About what?

She was talking

about this place,

out somewhere near Leeds.

Yeah.

It's a huge quarry.

You wanna go?

How are we gonna get there?

We drive, Sarah's

parents have like four cars.

Hey, dad.

Hey, tom.

What the f*** are you doing?

We were just...

Nothing.

Those are not supposed

to be used like that.

Clean them up.

Put them away.

Yeah, sorry.

Mark.

Come here.

Did I not tell you and Jack

to clean this sh*t up?

Yes, sir.

Then get to it.

Yeah, I'll do it later.

I just...

No, you do it now.

F***ing a**hole.

You okay?

F***!

F***ing ass.

Bravo!

Again, again, again!

Whoo!

Bravo!

You're mad man.

F*** me. It's slipping.

Oh, dude, that was f***ing

awesome, man.

It looked awesome.

Let me hit it.

Yeah.

Oh, intense, man.

It was like... You're

just hanging on the edge,

and then you jump off

and you're like,

f***ing stuck there

for decades, and then...

Back to reality, man,

it's f***ing awesome.

You got to come?

No, I-i...

It's a little cold

right now, maybe later.

Dude, come on, what the f***.

I would come but if we'd done earlier

maybe I am not gonna do it right now.

No, man, we both know

the story you wanna tell,

is that you swam across

that lake with me,

and jumped off

that f***ing rock,

and that is fact, Jack.

I will, I mean, yes,

you know that

it would be a story

I wanted to tell...

I am not gonna...

Well, f*** you, then,

okay, alright.

Come on, buddy.

His voice is way

better than Lane.

Dude, how can you take yourself

seriously when you say sh*t like that.

What do you mean...

That's not even the best

song in the album.

That's not the best

song in the album either.

Okay.

Alright. Alright.

You don't know what

you're talking about.

Shut up!

Hey.

How was school?

They called.

They said you've been

absent for three days.

Where have you been?

I am sorry, mom...

You haven't been

going to school?

You wanna be a f***ing idiot

for the rest of your life?

No!

I don't wanna hear it.

You do it again, you don't

deal with the both of us,

you deal with me.

Tom.

What?

Sorry, mom.

No, it's okay, baby.

Oh sh*t, Karen, you can't baby...

I am not...

He needs to learn

some discipline.

Uh-huh.

Go to your room.

I'll be back later.

Here you go, Jack,

I guarantee you.

Worst cup of coffee

you'll ever have in your life.

You want cream or sugar, man?

Uh, no.

You're ready to continue?

Yeah.

Great.

And look, I am gonna ask you

questions, Jack, I...

I just wanna emphasize,

this is just so that I can get,

more of a understanding

of the relationship

between you guys, okay.

It's not to get you in trouble.

Do you understand?

Okay.

Were you guys using drugs?

Jack, you can be honest, okay,

it's absolutely normal behavior

for any child going through

parental separation

let alone living

in a small town.

No one expects you

to be a Saint.

I mean...

Yeah. Sometimes.

What kind?

I mean was it mostly weed...

Or was it hard stuff?

It was mostly weed.

Some alcohol.

You like getting high?

I mean, don't worry, Jack,

I went to college in the '60s,

I saw it all.

Yeah, of course.

Yeah. Of course,

I liked it too.

Back in the day.

Jack.

F*** it!

What the f***.

What?

So stupid.

What?

So how much did you guys

smoke in a normal week,

you know, two-three times.

Four, five?

At first...

Only yeah, two, three

times, yeah.

And when did it start

becoming more frequent?

I don't know the spring time,

maybe.

That was around the time...

Started having a lot more

trouble at home, right?

Yeah, but I don't think that had

anything to do with anything else.

No vegetables please.

How did your parents take it?

Well, mostly they just

psycho analyzed me.

Poor you.

I take it, tom and Karen

weren't too thrilled?

Excuse me.

No, they were not.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Oh.

Guys!

What are you doing?

Come to the tunnel now.

I got to go.

What the hell was that?

I have no idea.

We're not hungry anymore.

Thank you.

We're so sorry.

Because they f***ing suck.

What are you doing on the floor?

Yo, you're sketchy.

What is that?

Get down, get down, look at this.

Where did you find this?

Shh. Shut up

and listen.

Excellent camera work.

Great sound and lighting.

And even a good soundtrack that

matches up with the action.

The performers,

especially Paris,

Sybil,

the best of all girls

I have ever seen.

Brad Williams.

What movie is that?

Ghost-lusters.

Oh, my god.

Wait, when can we watch this?

We are not gonna watch

this, you're a girl.

This is a movie for men.

You guys aren't men,

you're boys.

You get like a boner,

after you see like

a picture of a single boob.

That's just not even true.

That's true.

It's kinda true.

Like I have to deal

with sh*t, I bleed...

Out of my vagina...

No! No, no, no, no. No.

F***, man, why

can't you kill us?

Go Paris!

Yeah, no, yeah, I...

Mmm-hmm. Just stop sending me

f***ing collection notices.

Hey, gorgeous.

Hi.

You okay?

Um, no, not exactly.

Can you tell me...

What this is? Do you

know what this is?

I was doing some research.

"Research"?

Yeah.

Into what? Into Jack

joining the marines?

Well...

Without a word to his

mother, without even...

Stopping for a moment to realize

that you have no right.

That's not fair, Karen.

None.

I mean I was gonna

talk to you about it.

"Talk to me"?

Talk to me?

You're gonna give me

a heads up, no thanks, tom.

He needs some structure,

some discipline...

You think he needs

a little discipline.

I mean apparently he didn't

inherit that from his daddy

and you don't seem

too eager to teach him.

It could be a good idea.

I do not want my son

to be some kind...

Of jar-head moron who goes around...

What! What!

Raping...

I was a jar-head moron.

It would be a privilege,

for Jack to join.

It could even teach him

how to be a man.

Instead of a nervous

little f***ing girl.

I don't need this sh*t
