Well, you had to order

from Peyton?

When she finds out it's a prank

from right across the street...

she's gonna know it was me.

Isn't it innocent until

proven guilty?

I am guilty.

Then just do what I do,

deny, deny, deny.

All right, all right, all right.

Let's get this sh*t started.

Uh, sir, this is Sergeant

Whetherly from Highway Patrol.

Your number was listed as an

emergency contact.

Was your wife Brenda?

But last night was so much fun.

Why are you pretending

not to know me?

Is it the wife? Is she there?

Lemme talk to her.

There was a pile up on the 118.

Multiple vehicles.

No, there must be a mistake.

Brenda went to the movies.

She was nowhere near the 118.

Obviously you're in shock.

I'm gonna pass you off

to a grief councilor...

who can help you onto

the next step.

My condolences, sir.

Are you telling me she's dead?

Uh, that's right.

I said cancer, um...

dick cancer, in fact.

You do have a life insurance

policy, right?

Maybe that could be a silver

lining?

What the hell

are you talking about?

I thought you were supposed to

be a grief counselor?

I'm serious, man, you owe me

for two keys of blow.

If I ain't got that cash

tomorrow...

we're gonna have a serious

problem here.

Well, my daughter is as sure

as sh*t pregnant...

and she says that you're the one

that put that...

that demon seed inside of her.

It couldn't

be me I'm a virgin, I swear.

Oh my god!

Busted, you f***ing liar,

Thornton!

I knew he didn't bang Christie.

Yeah! Ah!

Hang on,

there's somebody at my door.

She's here! Brenda's alive!

She's okay.

Is that you, Brady Mannion?

Oh, I'm gonna beat the sh*t

out of you!

A**hole, you hear me or what?

Are you having fun?

A little bit, yeah,

how about you?

Not yet,

but I have a feeling...

that's about to change.

What you got, big plans tonight?

It's all

one big joke to you, isn't it?

These phone calls you make?

You must feel so powerful,

sitting there on your couch...

laughing at the embarrassment

and pain you cause.

Yeah, it's pretty funny, yeah.

Maybe it's

time for someone like me...

to come over there and wipe

that smug grin off your face.

Okay. Well, uh, how about when

you get here, you suck my dick!

I guess some people really don't

like getting pranked.

Oh, dude, pizza time, come on!

You don't happen to have

Larry's number do you?

Why?

Let's take this sh*t up a notch.

What? Hello?

Well, hi-dee-ho there, neighbor.

This is uh... uh... Brad Gunderson

from over on Elm Street.

I'm with neighborhood watch,

don't you know?

Okay, so I care why?

Well we've had a bit of mischief

in our happy hood lately.

You know, teenagers and the like

pretending to be, uh...

gas company workers and even

pizza delivery boys.

You know, they knock on the door

and see if anyone's home...

and if no one answers,

they rob the place.

Well, holy sh*t.

I got a pizza guy on my front

porch right now.

And you didn't order one?

Hell, no.

Oh, dear. That's a pickle,

for sure.

Uh, just stay calm and...

And, uh, call the police.

I know how to take care...

of a**holes like this,

don't worry.

Sh*t, is that Mosley?

What?

Dude, do you think Lar... what do

you think Larry's gonna do?

Hey, hey! You wanna find

out what...

Holy sh*t, dude, dude,

he's got a bat!

Yes!

Oh, my god!

Yeah, take the pizza and stick

it up your ass!

Oh my god.

Yeah, ah.

F***, f***, f*** f***!

Get down, oh, sh*t!

Do you think he saw us?

Not sure.

I know you're in there,

Fuller, come on!

Fuller!

What?

Sh*t's not funny, Brady.

The guy had a f***ing bat.

I was about to knock

his old ass out!

Your skinny ass ain't gonna

knock nobody out.

Don't test me, man, I'm serious.

What are you gonna do?

You're such a dick,

you know that?

Aw.

You're lucky I'm working.

Oh, he's working.

And my f***ing a**hole manager's

docking my pay for these...

so, great.

Ah, f*** that, we'll take it.

All right, cool.

Hey, how's Peyton tonight?

Oh, come on, man, don't ask me.

I wanna know if she's

doing all right.

She seems fine.

We're really busy, man.

I gotta roll.

Hey.

Quit stressing, let's eat.

I really am sorry about what's

going on with you and Peyton.

Yeah. We'll figure it out.

And I know like Peyton

is obviously like...

the hottest girl you're ever

gonna be with.

Like ever.

So, it's gonna sting extra hard.

And you're still a dick.

Yeah? Semper Fi, b*tch!

Dude!

The Marines?

Hoo-ah! Ship out right

after graduation.

But wait, what about film

school?

Dude, have you seen my grades?

Nah, man.

No, my only options are working

with my dad...

or getting as far away from here

as possible.

Sh*t!

Man, your parents, they must

have freaked.

That is gonna be one bomb going

off in the Mannion house...

and I am in no hurry

to light that fuse.

You haven't even told them yet?

And honestly, it's gonna break

my mom's heart.

But I really think this'll be

good for me.

It'll really give me a chance

to prove myself to them.

You know?

Damn, man.

Well, you know I'm always

gonna be here, right?

No matter what.

Brothers for life.

Brothers for life.

No, dude, it might be my

parents!

Hello?

You're not the one...

I was speaking to before.

I'm sorry, I have no idea

what you're talking about.

The one

who told me to suck his dick.

Er, actually that was me.

Got your lips all primed, buddy?

Where does that vile hate...

you spew come from?

Do you have Mommy issues?

Daddy issues?

Maybe I should speak to them

and find out?

Yo, ass-clown, listen up!

Aren't you

curious why I'm calling?

Why I've chosen you?

Your night is about to get

very exciting.

So I suggest you pay attention

and no matter what...

don't hang up.

Now you're just making me do it.

F*** him! Let's just watch

a movie.

Okay.

So we've been trying to watch

a movie, but this ass-humer...

has been calling non-stop

for the last hour.

Yo, tiny dick, give it up

already.

That was very rude of you...

to hang up on me.

How did you even get this

number?

You should know...

I have a lot more

than your phone number.

Dude, just give it up already.

We're done with you.

Actually

we're just getting started...

Brady.

What did you say?

Brady Mannion.

That's you, right? You live

at uh, 437 Oak Street.

I love the American flag

out front.

But right now, you're

at Sam Fuller's house...

1358 Ashton Lane.

Honestly, sir...

Oh, it's sir now, is it?

Did you say sir to the others

you called tonight?

Like your neighbor Larry?

Who the hell are you?

You'll find out soon enough.

When we're face-to-face.

For now, you can call me Mr Lee.

Why do you even care who we

called, like what we said?

Don't you want the attention?

Well, that's why you post your

little videos online, isn't it?

So the world can see how

clever you are.

Well tonight I'm gonna give

you...

all the attention you deserve.

Get ready. 1... 2...

Argh!

What the hell?

Oh my god, are you okay?

Are you guys drunk?
