Hey, zip your face.

Zip my face? Are you serious?

-Yeah, he said, ''Zip your face."

-That's your best line?

-That's your best tough-guy line?

-You heard me. Zip your face.

Why don't you zip your vagina,

Raymond Burr?

l have no idea how to respond to that.

-F you!

-F me? F you!

-F you!

-F you, man! What are you doing here?

F you, mother-F-er.

Okay. Okay! What do you want?

You have no idea what you have done to us.

What?

When you missed your reservation at Claw,

you ruined our lives.

-What are you talking about?

-We didn't miss anything, you dumbass.

We saw the two goons

casing the place out, so we took off.

Hey, and what is it to you?

What are you,

the reservation police or something?

-Yeah. What's it to you?

-Yeah.

As it so happens, we didn't have

a reservation, so we took yours.

And now they think that we're you.

You.. . You just took our reservation?

Who does that?

Yeah. What kind of people are you?

-Who cares? lt's not a big deal!

-Oh, my God! Come on!

-TASTE:
Who does that?

-Wait, how did you find us, anyway?

l stole your number

from the reservation list.

-That's smart.

-Thank you.

You used our real number

to make that reservation?

No. l didn't use the home number.

l used the cell phone.

Oh.

Wow, that's brilliant.

Wow, Taste, you're just a goddamn

criminal mastermind, aren't you?

This is about

how l'm an a**hole all the time, huh?

How you have no trust

that l can pull things through.

-Yeah!

-How l can't do anything right?

-l buy the wrong soda?

-Yeah.

-The wrong beer!

-l hear you, man.

-The wrong nipple clamps.

-Well.. .

Those clamps hurt me.

You know, and then you come home,

and you don't even look at me.

l have to, like, beg you

to have sex with me, like it's a gift!

And forget about the anal!

-Forget about the anal!

-lt's forgotten.

l am sorry if l am a little tired

after working all night

to just come home and jump on you

and give you a free lap dance.

l am sorry! l was perfectly happy

stripping and tricking at The Hippo.

lt made me feel good about myself!

l got a ribbon!

But, no, you had to go

and get all greedy and start stealing

-everything from everyone!

-Okay, okay, that's enough!

Excuse me for dreaming!

Like l want to spend the rest of my life

selling stolen wheelchairs!

l feel like

you're losing control of the room, Phil.

-WHlPPlT:
What about my dreams?

-Okay, okay. Hey, hey, hey.

-But what about me?

-Stop arguing. Stop arguing.

Stop it. Shut it. Shut.. .

Everybody, shut the holes.

-Just shut the hole.

-Quiet. Just be quiet.

Listen, listen. These goons are after us

because they think that we have

a flash drive that you stole from them.

So you're gonna go to them

and you're gonna tell them

that you are the Tripplehorns.

-Wait a second, b*tch.

-Don't call me a b*tch, whore!

Are you telling me that these goons

are tracking you right now?

Have you not heard a word l said, whore?

Look, that is why we are here.

You need to help us out of this.

No, we need to get out right now.

Whippit, baby, two-minute drill. Ready?

-Go, go, go, go, go!
