Robin, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Why?

Oh, I just can't believe Dave

would leave you

out here all alone.

He said

he was coming right back.

Mm.

So there's something

I've been meaning to tell you.

Laurent told me

how you feel.

Laurent--

wait, Laurent what?

You know,

Dave is my friend and all,

but sometimes

he says things which--

oh, never mind.

Now, what is it, Laurent?

Sometimes Dave says things

about women

which I find

so objectifying, eh?

Dave?

[laughs]

Laurent, you're crazy.

Dave's the sweetest guy

that I know.

Well, perhaps you don't know him

too well, eh?

Wait, what did he say?

How you wanted to get me

out here all alone

and how you were too shy to.

Um, listen, Mia--

Dave?

No--Robin! Robin! Robin!

Don't leave me, Dave!

Not like this.

Robin.

Robin, please.

Hey, please, stop.

Listen, I'm sorry okay?

I just--

No, you have nothing

to be sorry about, Dave.

Just go have fun

with Mia Ho--

or your ho

or whose ever ho she is.

Just don't ask me to wait

in the woods for you, okay?

I understand that,

but you got to understand;

listen, she pulled me

into the woods, okay?

And she--

That's just bad form,

Dave.

Come, Robin,

for a walk.

We were still talking.

Oh, hey, son.

Hi, Dad.

Wait, wait, wait.

Come here.

So...

Tell me about it.

Did you

Get a car?

I don't drive.

You know, a car

with a working engine?

You know?

[growls]

No, you know, a car.

A car

that you could have sex with?

Oh, um, about that, Dad,

I want a new car.

You know,

I don't want a used one.

And to be honest with you,

it seems like all the new ones

are not for sale.

Wait, what do you mean,

is it--

Here you go, bro.

What's up, Marv?

Hey.

- Oh!

I got to tell you,

my friend,

I think I mastered

the Pittsburgh Platter.

Boom!

- Oh!

Master it.

That's right.

You better believe it.

Tell me about it.

We're gonna save that

one for later, not now.

Dad.

Okay.

- Later, Marv.

Later, all right?

I want to hear

all about it.

Yeah, you will.

No, just go. Just go.

Hey, did you get peanut butter

in my sleeping bag?

(woman on P.A.) Will the following

students please report

to Miss Lonnatini's office

immediately:

Dave Llennart,

Jay Noble,

Hashime Brown,

and Gordon Lally.

That is all.

Yo.

(Lonnatini)

Gordon, Gordon, Gordon.

Got you a gift.

I got for you because you've

really hit

a grand slam.

You've really kicked it

through the uprights

this semester.

[laughs]

Thanks, I've been working

really hard.

[laughs]

You can tell.

Your Spanish this year

has just been unfaltering.

It's been so good

I guess I would have to say...

[speaking Spanish]

[laughing]

Oui, oui.

Yeah.

And I think what's blown me away

most this semester though

is that paper that you wrote

for your economics class.

Legalization

and Globalization:

A Necessity

for the American Economy.

Wow, that is really something.

Good job, Shantz,

Unbelievable.

I remember this one.

Oh, do you?

"Shantz."

You are a lying, cheating

little b*tch.

And you got your little bastard

flying monkey friends

to help you cheat.

And lucky for you,

I can't prove that.

But what I can do is,

I can base your grades

solely on your finals.

Yeah,

oh, you look worried.

I wouldn't worry about cheating,

because I made up a new test

especially just for you.

That's right.

So have fun

at the dance tonight.

[driving rock music]

# #

Hell yeah.

Nice.

No, I think

this looks great.

(man) # it's a daydream

dipped in benzine #

# it's a medicated frenzy #

Robin?

Yeah, it's kind of

a little gift for her.

(Jay)

Time to get ready, brother.

[snaps]

Okay, one, two, three.

[camera snaps]

So where's Robin?

I don't know, man.

Where's Anita?

What do you mean?

I'm just wondering.

I don't know.

Probably with some guy,

some museum guy.

I don't know.

I don't care.

You know?

I don't care.

Whatever you say, man.

If you don't care,

I don't care.

Right on.

Right on.

Don't care.

[hip-hop music booming]

# #

And the messed up thing

about it, man,

is I really like hamburgers.

I really like hamburgers.

Dude, did you guys know

that we bombed Japan twice?

God, that's really messed up,

man.

Just wait till you get

to chapter nine, man.

We do some sh*t

in the '60s.

(man)

# let's take a ride in my car #

# hey, shorty, how's it feel

to ride with a star? #

# if you want to ride,

let's roll #

# you know I got time

so hop inside #

# let's go cruisin'#

# let's take a ride in my car #

Hi, Ganja.

Hi.

Where did you learn

to do that?

I watch a lot of B.E.T.

Oh.

Do you--

do you want to dance?

[giggles]

Okay.

Hey.

Do you think

we could talk for a second?

Yeah.

I get it,

you and Mia.

She has a great rack.

I get it,

so don't worry.

What? Me and Mia?

Mm-hmm.

Robin, it's--

- What?

Robin, I don't like Mia.

When we went camping,

she was attacking me

in the woods.

She attacked you?

Yes, that's--

listen, I don't feel

like you believe me.

And I'm not so great

at explaining how I feel,

so do you mind just listening

to a song that I brought?

I think

it explains everything.

Yeah.

Yo.

[sensitive guitar music playing]

# #

# ice cold b*tches

here comes the heat wave #

# only eat p*ssy

that rock the clean shave #

What are you trying to say,

Dave?

Yo, bro,

this isn't the song--

You know what, Dave,

it's okay.

I don't need to be objectified

by you.

Robin.

Dave, why you keep screwing up

with Robin?

You do this on purpose, eh?

No, man, this f***ing guy

back here.

It's the wrong song.

She looks upset.

I will go help her.

Hey, bro,

that was the wrong song.

Are you okay?

(Dave) I want you to play

the right song.

It's the gold one.

It says, like, "I heart Robin"

or "I love"--

All right, man,

all right.

It's--

- all right.

Oh, you put it--

yeah, you already put it

On your computer;

I know you did.

[sensitive guitar music playing]

Thank you so--

You know, man,

never mind, never mind.

I...

I want you to know,

I respect our friendship

and consider us to be,

how you say, best buds.

Thanks, Laurent.

I could really use a friend

right now.

What are you doing?

What?

You just finished telling me

what good friends we are.

Oui, sure we're friends,

friends who f*** is all.

B*tch.

(man) # every dance on the floor

is a quick glance #

# now stop, stand still,

drink a pole #

# and freeze, froze,

freeze-frame #

# he's a pro

she's for sho' #

# but he's lame #

# it's like we do best #

# coming all the way

from the U.S. To japan #

# overseas, I oversee

who knows is me #

# this is the man #

[sniffling]

Anita, I--

I haven't seen you all night.

Hey, what's wrong?

Museum guy?

You want me to get Shantz

to kick his ass?

[laughs]

Shut up, Jay.

You know, I'm glad

he's not here,

because if he were,

then you would be with him

and not with me.

You want to go home?

Yeah.

That would be really nice.

Dave, have you seen

my red shirt?

No. Hey, put out

that cigarette, okay?
