Yeah, I believe him. He was my friend.

ARLO:

For cryin' out loud.

ARLO:

(off) Hey, listen! Do you know what I

think? I...

...think he was a wacko. And I think

that G.I. ninja's a bigger wacko. And I

think you're the biggest wack-...

ARLO:

(off) ...-o of all, wantin' to be a part

of this wacko sh*t!

MASON:

I need your help.

ARLO:

You are seriously mistaken if you think

you are going anywhere in my...

ARLO:

(off) ...truck.

MASON:

Then you drive me to McGrud-...

MASON:

(off) ...-er.

ARLO:

Look...I got two tons of the world's

nastiest ice cream sittin' in a truck

that should've been retired ten years

ago. That sh*t will be worthless by

noon.

ARLO:

(off) And if that Elvis sh*t...

ARLO:

...is as dangerous as you seem to think

it is, I'm gettin' my ass as far away

from you and it as possible. (kisses)

ARLO:

Peace.

MASON:

(overlapping) All right.

ARLO:

(indistinct - continues under following

dialogue)

MASON:

(off) Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. Hold

up. Look.
