YOU KNOW?

IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.

[SIGHS]

THIS CAR IS PIECE OF SH*T.

THERE'S NOTHING BUT LINES.

WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

[PHIL]

IT'S A TRICKY ONE.

SHE'S ATTACKING YOU

MINIVAN, VASECTOMY AND SEX.

SHE'S SMART, MAN,

SHE'S VERY SMART.

OH, SHE'S A GENIUS, SHE'S...

YEAH. AND YOU WILL NOT WIN

NO, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

ALLAN, LISTENERS,

I AM A MAN, UNLIKE JASON,

AND I WILL NOT GET A MINIVAN!

- I DON'T WANT TO.

- I WILL STAY STRONG

AND I WILL RESIST.

COME ON, MAN, SAY THIS SH*T.
