to white kids in jail.

Garrett, listen to me.

You're an accomplice now.

You'll get caught

if you don't help me.

We have to stick to the plan.

She won't remember

any of this, trust me.

Fine.

Let's just...

Let's get this over with.

Sh*t!

Oh, sh*t!

Aw, so close.

So, because you cheated,

here's what's gonna happen.

When my parents get home,

they'll find you passed out

and realize that

after I went to sleep,

you raided the liquor cabinet

and partied hard before

your big move to Pittsburg.

Exhibit a and exhibit b.

And in the morning, you

won't remember any of this.

Luke walked me through.

It's the best way.

Luke is taking you straight

to jail with him, Garrett.

You're making a big mistake.

Just run.

Call the cops now.

You can stop this.

Drink.

Hard pass.

Come on!

You love drinking.

You drink with Ricky

all the time.

What's the problem?

Eyes up here.

If you drink,

all of this goes away.

We don't have to do this.

Drink.

Oh, you b*tch!

Help!

- No, no, no, no, no!

- No, no, no, no, no!

Stop.

Shh, shh, shh!

Stay calm, and stay here

and clean this up.

Okay.

Hey, hey, shh, shh!

Who is it?

I'm here to see Ashley.

Ricky?

Yeah, man, open the door.

She's not here.

Listen, I know she's in there.

She texted me to come over,

like, half an hour ago.

She doesn't want to see you.

I just wanna talk to her.

Go away.

She doesn't love you anymore.

She told me.

Ashley!

Ashley, come out and talk to me!

Dude, shut up!

She doesn't want to see you.

All right.

All right.

Hey, listen, man.

Could you just

give her these, please?

Fine.

Pass them through the door.

All right, awesome.

Thanks, man.

Get the f*** out of here.

Hey, get out!

Ash!

You have pizza?

Ash!

Dude, why is that music so loud?

Ash!

Are you hiding?

'Cause I'll find you!

No! She's upset.

Dude, I know that.

What do you think these are for?

So she can't see

you till tomorrow.

Be quiet please.

Please, please!

Dude, why not?

Hey, I got...

I got the rat.

The big rat. The f***er was

fast, but I got him...

Where is she?

Where's ash?

Upstairs, but it's probably

better if you come back tomorrow.

No! It's not just you.

She has cramps.

What?

Menstrual cramps.

It's real bad. Yeah,

she has diarrhea, too.

Oh.

Ash! I'm gonna

come up!

I don't care what you have.

F***ing diarrhea?

Sorry, dude. What do we do?

I don't know.

Just stay with her.

What the hell are you doing?

That was so not cool.

Ash!

Dude, where the hell is she?

I told you, she doesn't want

to see you now. Ashley!

Come on, you don't have

to be embarrassed.

Babe!

Don't you, like, have some

tampons, or something?

Dude, what happened...

Whoo-hoo!

What the f***?

Hey!

What the f*** are you doing?

What have you done with her?

Hey, where is she?

You're f***in' dead,

you little piece of sh*t!

Hey, hey, hey! Ah, drop it.

Drop... drop it.

I'm serious. I'll blow your

f***in' face off in three, two...

All right, all right, all right.

Whoa, man!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Okay, don't shoot me, okay?

Okay, get on your knees.

Please.

Okay, okay.

Please, get on your knees.

All right, all right!

Okay, thank you.

He lines up the shot.

No, no, no!

Luke!

What the f***? Holy sh*t!

What do we do now?

Isn't this exciting?

No! No, dude,

we're going to jail.

Don't you get it?

We're going to f***ing jail!

Luke, we're gonna

f***in' die in prison.

No, we're not.

F***!

Why can't we just

roofie them both?

That was all I had.

And even if it wasn't,

jiffy lube here has

a f***ing hole in his face.

You really messed

things up, Ricky.

Things just got a whole lot more

complicated for me and Garrett.

Ah.

Just let Ricky go.

We both know I can't do that.

Look, we can say that he fell on

an exposed nail or something.

Garrett can go with him to verify

the conversation with his roommate.

You and I, we stay

here, we clean up.

You go to bed before your

parents get home and then...

You call the cops and they

arrest me in my Jammies.

I don't think so, ash.

What if she's serious?

Dude, she can help us

get out of this.

You got a lot to

learn about women.

Why didn't you listen?

I said I'd text you.

You did text me.

What?

Check my phone.

You texted him.

What are you talking about?

You don't want us

to get out of this.

You invited him here! Blah,

blah, blah, blah, blah.

Luke, what the...

You texted Ricky to

come here, didn't you?

No, man.

Why would I do that?

Okay, I did.

I was gonna tell you,

but grease monkey got

here 15 minutes early.

Caught me off guard.

Lighten up. I got it

all planned out.

Yeah, what else you got planned?

What else are you gonna lie to me about?

Garrett...

Go take a walk

and chill the f*** out.

Garrett?

Garrett, no, please don't go.

Please. Just take another

Oxy if you have to.

Garrett!

Oh, look.

Your phone still works.

It's about time we invite

our second guest.

The douchebag ex.

Jeremy?

Invite him here.

I'm not asking.

You're not going

to shoot me, Luke.

I will shoot you, Ashley,

if you don't invite him here

right now.

Sorry, kiddo.

I'm not involving anyone else

in your bullshit.

Fine.

God, please don't pick up.

Please don't pick up.

Please don't pick up.

Please don't pick up.

Please don't pick up.

No, not again

with the duct tape.

1,001 uses for duct tape.

- Hello?

- Hey, Jeremy.

Uh, who's this?

I'm actually calling for Ashley.

There's no Ashley here, dude.

Wrong number.

Oh, my god, what a moron!

I can't believe

you dated this guy.

Hello?

Hey, Jeremy, don't hang up.

I'm here with Ashley.

She wants to talk to you,

but not on the phone.

Who is this?

She's being all weird.

I think she wants you

to come over.

She's babysitting me and...

Is this that little taint

on Claremont?

Yes.

Tell her to stay there.

I'm coming over right now.

Okay, come around the back.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Luke. Luke,

listen to me, okay?

You don't know

what you're doing.

If you don't stop,

someone's going to get hurt.

Don't you remember when you

killed Garrett's hamster?

You cried when you

told me about it.

You were sad.

It wasn't an accident.

As if.

Say it, you grease monkey loser.

You actually think Ashley's

gonna remember you in a year?

Whatever you just said,

say it again,

I f***ing dare you.

I said... I need

the bathroom.

Gross! Stop it!

F***ing Mongo!

God, I'm getting us out of here.

Ash, as soon as

you're free, you run.

I'm serious, don't turn back.

I can handle myself.

Listen. Keep cutting.

Look, I know you've

been avoiding me

'cause you've got this

whole future planned out.

You know, you got college,

you got a career.

The kid's right. I don't

have those things.

I just want you to know

I'm happy for you.

You're gonna be awesome.

He's coming. Hurry!

Dude, your piss reeks.

Reeky.

What the f*** you been eating?

Jeremy lives, like,

30 minutes away, right?

Ugh! We've got time to kill.

F***!

Yeah, f***!

I want to watch
