- What?

Yeah, I just saw 'em on the TV.

You lied to me!

Well, would you have taken me along

if I told you

that I lived in a normal house

with a set of normal parents

who didn't abuse me

but also didn't even try

and understand me?

That every day in my normal life

felt like a million years?

And that I spent all day, every day,

being told what to do and what to think

by people who I'm

a million times smarter than,

but since it's not polite

to acknowledge that,

I just had to pretend to listen to?

That every single morning,

I just woke up and wished

that anything not normal

would happen?

Here are the keys to that car.

Where am I supposed to go?

I don't care!

Go back to your parents.

Just stay out of my life.

I don't got time for you!

You're just like everybody else.

I don't got time for liars!

Oh, f*** you, Frank!

You're just a pathetic, broken man!

Cocksucker!

# I was running #

# I was running with wolves #

# And I knew I was cold #

# But I didn't know how cold #

# And I knew I was fast #

# But I wasn't fast enough #

...And, thankfully, that's helping.

# I was running #

We are concerned

that the perpetrator is still out there.

We couldn't be happier at this moment.

Everything that we've been through.

Now we're reunited as a family.

Planning a family vacation.

We're going to Disneyland!

# ...I knew I was fast #

# I wasn't fast enough #

You Frank?

Frank, you didn't really tell me

exactly what you were looking for

when you called,

so I brought you kind of

a gun pupu platter.

We got your.357 Magnum.

Nickel finish, six shots,

eight-inch barrel.

It's.357, so you know

it's got some punch to it.

You put this to the back

of some n*gger's head,

all you're gonna see is pink mist.

No, maybe not.

Maybe not for you.

Old school.

Walther P38.

German, nine-millimeter,

made during the second World War.

I mean, who knows how to kill people

better than Germans, right?

You know it's got to be good.

You're not a Jew, Frank, are you?

I'm just asking 'cause, you know,

I brought up a German gun.

Um, okay, hey, maybe,

maybe you're looking for something

that's a little bigger.

Little more firepower.

See what we got

that may strike your fancy here.

Huh?

Is that a honey or what?

AK-47.

When you absolutely, positively

have to waste

every single motherf***er

in the room,

accept no substitute.

I can see you like this.

Definitely.

It's an assault rifle,

but it's still light.

And talk about reliable?

Frank, I could throw this off the roof.

I could run this over with my car.

I could bury it in the dirt

and dig it up, and it'll still fire.

That's how reliable that is.

Best mass-produced

combat weapon ever made.

Look at this.

That fits you.

Look at this.

You're friggin' Rambo, man!

Look at that. Look.

I love it!

You know what?

You don't even have to aim this thing.

It's a spray-and-pray

kind of weapon.

I mean, what's better than that, right?

Now, the one thing is

this is not a cheap weapon.

This is an assault rifle,

so we're looking

around two grand for this.

So, I don't know

if that's in your budget,

but what I will do,

I got three fully loaded

that I will throw in for that $2,000.

That's a steal.

For a weapon of that quality, you know.

This something you can afford?

Yeah, I want the case, too.

Oh, grea... Hey, great!

You know what?

Is there anything else I can get you

while we're talking about the gun?

Blow? Meth?

# I won't take all

that they hand me down #

# And make out a smile

though I wear a frown #

# And I'm not gonna take it all

lying down #

# 'Cause once I get started,

I go to town #

# 'Cause I'm not like everybody else #

# Oh, no #

# I'm not like everybody else #

# I'm not like everybody else, no #

# I'm not like everybody else #

# And I don't want to live my life

like everybody else #

# And I don't want to be destroyed

like everybody else #

# And I don't want to get a job

like everybody else #

# 'Cause I'm not like everybody else #

# Just isn't what I am #

# I'm not like everybody else, baby #

# But, darling, you know

that I love you true #

# And I'd do anything

that you want me to #

# I'd even confess all my sins

like you want me to #

# But there's one thing

that I can't do for you #

# 'Cause I'm not like everybody else #

# What did I say? #

# I'm not like everybody else #

# How did I say it? #

# I'm not like everybody else #

# One more time #

# I'm not like everybody else #

# Like everybody else #

# And I don't want to live my life

like everybody else #

# And I don't want to be destroyed

like everybody else #

# And I don't want to get a job

like everybody else #

# 'Cause I'm not like everybody else #

What did I say?

# I'm not #

# Like everybody else #

# Like everybody else #

# Everybody else #

# Everybody else #

# Everybody else #

Live!

"American Superstarz" finale!

Ladies and gentlemen,

the moment we've all been waiting for.

Welcome to the stage my man,

Steven Clark!

# Do you know where you're going to? #

# Do you... Do you like the things? #

# Do you know where you're going to? #

# Do you like the things

that life is showing you? #

Yeah. Yeah.

Please, just go around.

Look at me.

I've killed many people.

I'll kill you, too.

The question is, do you want to die

for this shitty television show?

Hey, man, I'm just trying

to make a living here.

I don't even watch the show.

That's the right answer.

I'll give you five.

One... two...

three... four...

# Do you know? #

Yeah!

# Do you know? #

All right!

# Oh, do you know?

Do you know? #

All my ladies!

# Do you know? #

In other news,

Lindsay Lohan maintains

that she is still sober and happy.

Yeah! Right!

But she does look great

in that new jewelry, right?

Oh, and speaking

of the Hollywood wildlife,

is that sasquatch

by the marquee pool?

Oh, no, it's Robin Williams.

He got a gun!

Everybody run!

Yeah! All my people!

Put your hands in the air!

Now wave it like you care!

Yeah!

# Do you know? #

Ah ha ha!

Yeah!

# Do you know? #

Yeah!

When I say "do," you say "don't."

- Do!

- Don't!

# Do you know? #

Hey, man, you can't be there.

# Do you know? #

Hey, are you deaf?

# Do you like to know

where you're going to? #

# Do you like the things

that life is showing you? #

# Where are you going to? #

# Do you know? #

# Do you know? #

Yeah.

Oh, hell, yeah!

Dancing time!

Yeah!

- Yeah! All right, do you know?

- Boo!

# Do you know

where you're going to? #

# Do you like the things

that life is showing you? #

You suck!

- # Do you know? #

- Boo!

# Do you know where you're going to? #

Nobody move!

Sit down!

I said nobody move!

Next time anybody moves,

I'm bringing the roof down!

Can I go?

No, stay here, Steven.

Okay.

Get up.

I said get up!

You're kidding me, right?

You two, get up here.

No, sir. Please. Please!

You don't want to do this.

How do you know what I want to do?

Just take it easy.
