So, uh, where's Donnie?

with that a**hole Ben Brogan?

Donnie does not golf.

Yes, he does.

You didn't know that?

No, 'cause it's not true.

I don't know what to tell you

other than the fact

that he was on the varsity

golf team at Oornell.

Get the f*** out of here.

I'm not kidding.

- Yo, my boys found out

about this sh*t?

You don't understand.

Yeah, that's his tag name.

That's ridiculous.

anywhere?

I've been to Florida.

Vanilla milkshakes.

Nah, f*** vanilla.

No, vanilla's fine.

I don't like chocolate and get

I like...

Mint chocolate.

Yeah.

Okay.

What's your favorite food?

- Uh, that's easy,

Oh, three:

All in combination.

That can't be legal.

It can't.

Probably isn't.

Here, sit.

- Don't know if I trust you,

crazy.

So...

Have you met

Donnie's girlfriend?

Yeah, I know Eleonore.

She cool peoples.

She's, like, a hippie and sh*t.

You can't be a hippie, okay?

What you mean?

- It's, like,

an olden times thing.

It's like saying

she's a Victorian courtesan

or a Mayan princess

or something.

Anyway, he cheats on her.

So what?

- No, but he cheats on her

with, like, vagabonds.

What the f*** is vagabonds?

Vagabonds are...

Well, okay.

So this one time,

Donnie and I

were getting cash

out of an ATM,

and there was

this old Hispanic woman

cleaning the floor-

like, the janitor or something.

And she was really old

and really fat.

Okay.

And Donnie picked her up.

No way.

Way.

He picked her up,

and he took her home,

and he f***ed her.

In his own bed!

No!

Yo, you serious?

I really wish I wasn't.

It's disgusting!

He sleeps with, like,

semi-homeless girls.

- Yo, oh, my God.

He fucks old ladies.

That's crazy.

You don't even understand

how much sh*t

I'm gonna give him for this.

Sh*t, this is gold.

Here, do you want some?

Vagabonds.

- I-

- I, uh-

- Go, go, go, go.

Go.

Um, no, you first.

- No, no, no.

Just go.

Mine was really dumb.

Mine was worse.

I bet you mine was worse.

- You will lose that bet.

Promise.

- Well, in that case,

it's a bet.

And if I win,

you have to give me free weed.

- I don't know about that,

but...

Come on.

All right.

- Okay, now you have to pick

something.

If I win...

You gotta give me

your necklace.

- What?

No way.

Um, look around.

Pick something else.

- There's a lot of stuff

in here.

What do you want?

- If I win,

you have to give me...

A kiss.

Okay.

I was going to ask you

if you've ever written your name

in the sidewalks...

Not that I recall.

- When they pour

the wet cement in

and it's all new?

Mm-mm.

- I've done that,

with a key.

And I have my name in sidewalks

all over the city now.

I was thinking

that's sort of like graffiti.

Yeah.
