Yeah.

Cool.

What are you a**holes doing?

MAN:
Waiting on you.

I have plans, sorry.

I thought that girl dumped you.

Yo, keep her name out of your mouth.

Let me bump a cig.

All right.

Yo, we getting something?

You know I can't function right.

I found something online, but...

Yo, you holding out on us?

Let me ask you all something.

How do you feel about

getting high with a gay guy?

The f*** do you mean, bro?

Like, sometimes I can't find anything,

so I go online and meet up with guys

who, uh, have weed.

And then what happens?

I pretend I'm gay and I smoke their weed.

What do you do when they try to hit on you?

They already tried to hit on him, stupid.

What do you think I do?

Yo, does he have enough for everybody?

I don't know. I'll ask him.

All right, we'll come with you, then.

All right.

All right.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[WHINNIES]

Don't forget to act gay.

- Hey there.

- Hi.

How's it going?

- Good with you here.

- Yeah, you get here okay?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, um...

thanks so much for coming

all the way out here.

It's cool.

[CHUCKLES]

Sorry, but I ran into a bunch of friends

- on the way over here.

- Are you ditching me?

No, no, no, they wanna hang with us.

Hey, what's your name?

Jeremy.

Jeremy. Cool. So, we getting high?

Um, can I talk to you for a second?

Why you being so unfriendly?

They just wanna party with us.

I'm sorry, I'm not into this.

Hey, come on. Yo, stay.

- [KNOCKING]

- Please stay.

MAN:
Yo, you got played. We all got played.

What happened? He wasn't attracted to you?

I guess he wasn't attracted to us.

Yo, what's plan B?

Let's find another guy.

[ALL SNICKERING]

Yo, if you want it,

you have to be serious, okay?

MAN:
Hey.

Yo.

What's up?

Chilling.

Good. Good. You look good.

Thanks. So, where you from?

Jersey, what about you?

Brooklyn.

Yeah? All right.

- Are you tight?

- What?

I got a big cock.

Nah, nah, nah, nah. Change, change, change.

Yo, yo, yo, you gotta be joking, bro.

Turn this sh*t off, like...

I'm telling you, I can get it.

You just gotta control yourselves.

[DOOR OPENS]

Let me do this. All right?

Mom said you've gotta get

your friends out of here.

These guys? No, they're not my friends.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

[SIGHS] You guys can't hang out here, sorry.

Fine, we'll go out back.

No.

- What's the problem?

- You gotta go.

- Mom.

- Can I speak with you, please?

ALEXEI:
Ooh.

[ALL LAUGHING]

- I want them out of here.

- They're harmless.

I know exactly who they are.

We aren't even doing anything.

Well, then do nothing somewhere else.

- Fine.

- You have five minutes

to make them disappear.

Yo, bro, you got a message on this site.

FRANKIE:
Get up.

Oh, it's just that guy again.

MAN:
What'd he say?

He wants to get high with me. Alone.

That's bullshit.

Sorry.

Let's just take it from him.

Yeah.

Why would you get high

with this guy, anyways?

And why you even prowling this site?

Nuh, I'm just looking for weed.

What's the plan?

Where do you wanna meet this guy?

Uh...

what if we brought him to the beach?

Yeah, I like that.

- Yeah, all right.

- Let's do it.

Let's do it. [SIGHS]

[TYPING ON KEYBOARD]

[LIGHTER CLICKING]

[FRANKIE KNOCKING]

- That was quick.

- Yeah, come on, get in.

Let me just smoke this first.

I don't wanna stink up your car.

You know, it actually didn't

take that long to get here.

- No?

- Yeah, it's, like,

a 15-minute drive at this hour.

- Makes sense.

- Yeah, I took the BQE

even though it said it was longer.

Did you bring the weed?

Yeah. Where we going?

You don't do this much, do you?

Why?

- Well...

- No, I do.

[CHUCKLES]

- What?

- Nothing.

Am I your type?

No.

What's your type?

Older.

Why?

So, then they don't know anyone I know.

So, you're not out.

I don't really think

of myself as gay, I'm, uh...

But you have sex with men.

Yeah.

Will you have sex with me?

- Maybe.

- [CHUCKLES]

That's okay. I like a challenge.

FRANKIE:

You're gonna wanna take the next right.

[FIREWORKS POPPING IN DISTANCE]

You're free.

JEREMY:
I wish I'd brought my sweatshirt.

[CHUCKLES]

This is actually really nice.

Yeah.

You okay?

Uh, yeah.

Do you have papers?

I think I left my pipe in the car.

Uh... maybe we should just go

back to my place and smoke it.

No, this is nice.

What's going on?

Yo, he got it?

FRANKIE:
Yeah, he's got it.

- Yo, just give them the weed.

- F*** you.

Just give it to them.

FRANKIE:
Check his pockets.

[MUMBLING]

Yo, I think he dropped it.

Hey! Hey, I found it.

WOMAN:
Please tell me what's going on.

Just spit it out.

Please.

What is it?

This is Coney Island, Stillwell Avenue.

Transfer is available
