No, No.

Sir... Wait.

Who are you?

Last week, I drove into a

parked car. I just drove off.

Sir... I just drove...

whoop... right off.

Regularly

drink and drive.

Oh, my God. Sir...

Haven't paid

for cable ever.

Who is this man?

Uh, he works for me.

Okay, why didn't

you tell us

about him before?

He has, uh, special needs.

Yes, he's a special-needs

cousin of ours.

Special.

Duncan. Duncan, brother,

I'm so sorry that I

tried to bang your wife.

What?

No, no. He didn't bang...

There was no banging.

You mean,

so you guys never...

He did not bang.

They never banged.

So sorry. Hey,

give me a hug, brother.

Give me a hug.

No, no, no.

No.

Oh, God.

That feels so good.

Sir, are you feeling all right?

Yeah, you're touching me

with your man parts.

Why don't men

hug more often?

I could just hug you

for hours.

Yeah, thank you.

I don't even care

that your daughter

hit me over the head

with a trophy

and... and put me

in a snake cage.

Aw, you big kidder, you.

Get out of here.

Now hold

the phone there.

Silly. Here.

Okay, sir,

can you repeat that?

Yeah.

Sir!

Mmm!

Did this young lady

assault you?

Greg, please.

Quiet, ma'am.

Sir,

we're talking about

a felony charge.

Yeah.

It's my cellphone.

Sir.

Turn it off.

Sir!

Ooh, that's the stuff.

That's the stuff

right there.

Yeah, yeah.

Sir, please.

Russian Tea Room.

Yeah.

Sir. Sir.

You know how much ass

I get from this move?

Sir, I am ordering you

to stop dancing.

Tick-tack, tick-tack.

Go ahead. Shoot him.

Whoo hoo hoo! Hoo hoo!

Sir!

Who killed the beat?

Sorry, dude.

Oh, my God.

Take care of him.

Ma'am...

Come on.

I need an explanation.

Kills on the dance floor.

I just wanted

to make a movie.

Whoa, whoa. I need

an explanation from her.

Folks.

I just really like her.

I'm gonna take this gentleman

to jail if he does not stop.

Okay, I can't

hear everyone...

High! I been flyin' high!

Sir!

Sir!

Hi-yee!

Sir!

Ma'am.

I just wanted them

to see me jump.

Ma'am, I understand that,

but that's really not

a good enough explanation

for what's happening

here today.

Oh, no.

Sir, excuse me.

I'm sorry. What?

What are you doing?

I'm smoking pot.

Put that down. Sir.

Smoke pot. Smoke pot.

Excuse me.

Everybody smoke.

No, you cannot

do that.

Sir! Sir!

Revolution!

No revolution!

Listen to me!

Sir, stop!

# Smoke pot, smoke pot,

# Smoke...

You ready?

Okay, good.

Grab your bag.

It's got everything

you need in there, right?

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Kat's gonna take you?

Okay, well, good luck.

Love you.

I am commanding you

to stop! Sir!

Wait, wait, wait!

I am going

to arrest you, sir.

I am going

to arrest you.

Whoo! Oww!

Holy Fing S.

Yaah!

Revolution!

Revolution!

Whoo!

You are under arrest.

This is ridiculous.

I've never had

to deal with this...

I want to press charges on that

psycho girl.

We will apprehend her.

Sir, I need you

to settle down.

Ready. Set. Go.

Well, get going.

You're late.

I drugged and then

tied up my parents.

Everybody knows.

1,500 hits

in 3 hours.

You're famous.

More like infamous.

Everyone's gonna think

I'm a freak.

Well, did you think you were

normal before?

I mean, you spend your lunch

breaks jumping rope.

But look at it

this way.

Now you are

the queen freak

from, like, a seriously royal

freak bloodline.

They will bow

and tremble

in your superfreaky

presence.

Trust me. It is

better at the top.

You deserve this.

Plus you're really pretty.

F*** it.

What's she doing here?

Did you see

those clips?

Emily Smith-Dungy.

Right that way.

Come on. Go.

Em, hurry.

I'm here!

Are you Emily?

Uh-huh.

Okay, here's

your square here.

Jump outside

the lines...

Looks like

you're all legal.

Okay. You're set.

Thanks.

Jumpers, ready.

Set. Go.

Attica! Attica!

I need you

to calm down.

You got it, man!

You got it, man!

Ma'am, I cannot do this

with you right now.

His daughter just throwing me

in a cage.

It's just a complete

misunderstanding.

No, I need you to tell me

where your daughter...

Where is your daughter?

You arrest me, too,

'cause I'm not

telling you.

Okay, well, I'll just have to come

back here and do that.

Your daughter's

a felony suspect.

I'm not telling you

where she is.

I'm sure you're not.

After what happened here...

You know I'm okay with you

being straight.

Thanks. Are you,

like, in trouble?

No.

Where is she?

I couldn't say.

You couldn't say?

You know, you don't have to

be different to be an artist.

You just have

to have the courage

to show the world

who you really are.

Do you know who you are?

I'm Jackson Smith-Dungy,

your son.

Cool.

Well, we will find

your daughter,

but I need you to know that.

Okay.

This is not okay.

Nothing that has happened

here today is okay.

Right. Of course.

Good luck. Good luck.

Thank you.

Hey, I got a medical marijuana

card in my wallet.

Let's have some fun.

Let's go, sir.

Okay.

Wait. Why are you

trying to arrest my dad?

What are

you saying?

Put your gun down!

I don't have

a gun out.

Well, why don't I just show

it to you right now?

Oh, snap.

Yeah.

Is it good?

It was awesome.

Heh heh.

Hey, come on,

little buddy.

Gotta get ready.

Don't want to be late.

# I know you left me

standing there... #

That's okay,

because their passion makes

them feel like something...

# I don't believe

the words you said #

# But I can't

find the words... #

...like somebody.

# Oh, I can't find
