Cheap Thrills Page #2

Synopsis: Cheap Thrills follows Craig (Pat Healy, Compliance), a struggling family man who loses his low-wage job and is threatened with eviction. In an effort to delay facing the music at home, he heads to a local bar and encounters an old friend (Ethan Embry, Empire Records). The two friends are roped into a round of drinks by a charismatic and obscenely wealthy stranger (David Koechner, Anchorman 2) along with his mysterious wife (Sara Paxton, The Inkeepers). The couple engages the two friends in a series of innocent dares in exchange for money over the course of the evening, with each challenge upping the ante in both reward and boundaries. It seems like easy and much needed money, but the couple's twisted sense of humor pushes just how far Craig and his friend are willing to go for money and cheap thrills. (c) Drafthouse

- It was too much.

- Let's have fun in the car.

- Calm down.

- You know what, Vince?

It was good to see you again and

nice to meet you. I'm going home.

- Come on, Craig?

- Hey, a**holes!

- Did you hurt one of our girls?

- No, I swear.

- Lgnagtige pigs. You get ass kicked.

- $ 500 if you'll kill him first!

For f***'s sake.

Damn, too.

Game.

- Did you just make that up?

- I'll walk her just.

- From the outside?

- You can not hear anything in there.

It is on the other side of the studio.

- He's coming now.

- Sleeping Beauty.

- Where are we?

- You collapsed like a souffl.

We took off before the cops came. We took

you here and washed you.

- I have a lot of painkillers.

- It's crazy. Lots of fine whiskey.

Here. Wait, I have a grip on it.

Damn! Sorry! I forgot.

Sorry.

Go ahead.

I'm proud of you.

You hit him first.

- I would not smoke in fights.

- It was not a fight.

- Drink, I'll give you the better.

- It was too wild.

It was too wild. You will never

forget this evening.

Or me, Vince and Violet.

Although you never see us again,

you will never forget us.

I think that's crazy. I think

on something like that all the time.

Yes! Give him a "Yes!"

I just wanna go home.

I'll get some painkillers.

I have an entire pharmacy here.

My brother is actually pharmacies.

- Give it, Vince.

- He must owe you one.

- Yes.

I can send you pictures.

I'll get something to wash with.

Okay.

That he is not too crazy about.

- Come on, it'll be fun.

- Okay.

I'll get some novelties.

- You know how to party.

- Yes, is not it?

- It's a whole gear box.

- You can catch fish with this.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay. Thank you for your help.

I'll be careful.

Have you broken something before?

Only the foot.

I made a silly

skateboard trick.

- How does it feel?

- I can not really remember it.

When I was little,

I looked at it when the big skated.

Okay?

I was a little in love

in one of the boys.

He was a little wilder

than the others and...

... one day he tried

with a trick.

They had built a jump

and he took off on.

There was a car around the corner.

I did not see it happen,

but I heard it.

Sound when it hit him.

It was weird. It sounded like...

... Branches knkker.

It sounded as if he were made of wood.

The first thing they see, do that...

- Go ahead. So do the trick.

- What is it?

- Something painkillers, I think.

It comes from a pharmacy,

so it'll be fine. It's okay.

Okay, let's go.

I want to show you something. Come on, Craig.

Did she patched up together?

Fed views, right?

I also somewhere in Palas Verdes

- and an apartment in Malibu,

but this is Violets vrk.

I gave her checkhftet and

said:
"cabinet, whatever you want" -

- and she has done so.

She has decorated each one millimeter.

What?

What the hell? F*** you!

Craig, wait! Come here. Wait!

- You too f***ing me?

- Take it easy.

- You had too made it to 300

- Okay, do you think that?

I want to rob them. The idiot has a

safes full of cash.

I nails them.

Are you crazy, you f***ing monkey?

I just want out of here.

He has $ 150,000 in cash.

It's nothing for him but for us

it is a whole new life. Think about it.

- I do not know.

- Okay, but you do need money.

- Now you have the opportunity.

- The possibility of being arrested.

- He has seen our faces.

- He do not call the cops.

- What a crazy assumption.

- Not if you're thinking after.

If they see his forstrrede pupils

he goes in with us.

He do not call the cops.

I'll do it in any

circumstances.

If you do not want to be with

then slipped on, man.

Wait, wait, wait.

What should I do?

- Take the girl, so I'll handle the rest.

- You're doing it well no?

- Player In the off on each other?

- Why would you look at?

No one is injured.

Take Violet and hold on tight.

- You become good friends again?

- Yes.

Violet has all his music coupled to

anlgget. 12,000 slices on shuffle.

Games maniacal instrumental

number it with the guitars.

Or this one, to better suit

mood. Here's your cocktail.

Are you done on the ladies' room?

I have to pee.

You, Colin. I do not want

do this, but...

- I want my money in the safe.

- This is really stupid.

We wait here, Craig pick them up.

What is the code?

- I do not know.

- Do not f*** with me.

- Safely. We're doing a good party.

- Tell me the code.

I can not.

It's not locked, Vince.

- Should I believe this?

- I can not remember the numbers.

It was her birthday, but

so I switched it out. It is unlocked.

- It's full of cash.

- I rely too much on friends.

Craig, take care of this.

- Sit down.

- What do I do with her?

- Put her there.

- Careful. Sit down.

- Do not do anything stupid.

Okay.

Why lock the you do not know, idiot?

- Come on!

- Holy sh*t.

- Why does it take so long?

I come!

Come on, I have them.

- How much is it?

- I counted them. Come on.

- I too use the car keys.

- They're over there on the shelf.

- Relax, damn it!

- This was not my idea.

It was his.

I said it was stupid.

Shut up.

Do we turn the clock back.

Do you like it? Should we pretend

about? Do you find it? Well, Vince.

We can pretend that the last

district has not taken place?

- We tried the to rob you.

- Yes, it was really stupid.

We have not been completely honest,

but let's forget this.

Okay. We did not try to rob you.

I threatened you not just with a knife.

Delete it, I said. It does not exist.

It belong to the past, we live in

moment. It does not exist.

We start over and reset

it all. That's fine with me.

- What about you?

- Okay.

Good. Then we start all over again.

- You do not call the cops?

- No, on resord.

- What the hell is going on?

- The Violets birthday.

What should I give her? She

everything. She can buy exactly what she wants.

You gotta think outside the box.

We got an idea for a wild night.

I find a few losers and give them

money to humiliate himself.

- What a wonderful evening. Congratulations.

- No, you're too fat. We had fun us.

It's been fantastic.

It's more like a reality show.

- What program?

- Like when they'll eat animal d*cks.

Stopping head down to hoses

or'll eat bugs. But it's not TV.

And then it say

250,000 tax dollars at stake.

- 2 .. $ 250,000?

- What?

- Are they for us?

- Ned.

- Down, dammit. Stay right there, Vince.

- I lie down. Okay.

It's okay.

I have to win them.

This is for fun.

The money in the closet was to the game.

We would give them to you and you took them.

It is... There is a word for it.

- Irony?

- Thank you. It's super-irony.

- What do we do?

- What we are saying.

So I do not call the cops?

Whether we call the cops?

Hell.

- And we can go when we want?

- That would be sad.

It would really be sad,

but you can go, when you want.

But I'll give ye not them here.

Okay.

But no matter how much money is

is, I suck it of him.

None guys to take care of each other

or suck on each other.

I have to do as we say,

but not like that.

Okay. So what do we do?
