Our community liaison

Thanks.

Oh, God.

Sorry.

Have a good one.

Two guys got murdered last night.

Yeah, l was just reading that.

How'd he kill 'em?

We're not releasing that information.

lt could jeopardize the case

if details got out.

So you guys are close

to catching him, then.

That keeps it lively.

l wouldn't worry about it.

Those cigarettes will kill you first.

l'm counting on it.

Well, l hope you

catch your man, officer.

The killer cut off their heads.

He cut off their heads,

and he took 'em.

l think you just blew your investigation.

- Oh, yeah.

- That's good.

Oh, f***, it's a cop.

lt's a cop.

Okay. Yeah.

Jesus.

Look at you. You look like you joined

the force. Very sharp.

Right. Right.

l'm 18. l swear. l can prove it.

Relax. He's no cop.

He's my roommate.

Look, if l was a cop,

l'd arrest you, okay?

You wouldn't stop frisking me

long enough to get the cuffs on.

All right, party's over.

Everyone out of my car.

Come here, baby.

All right.

What's up?

Thank you so much.

l had a wonderful time.

lt was really good.

And l'll see you guys downtown.

Yes, Chaz, they were

boning each other.

finally letting me off.

Give me three minutes to change.

Three minutes.

Scored two hits of X for tonight.

Evening, gentlemen.

Don't touch the tits, but you can

feel the ass all you like.

You've got the biggest set of balls.

Yes, l do.

And right now they are crammed

into a space about half their size.

Gentlemen, drag is both uncomfortable

and scary as sh*t.

Don't let the queens

tell you anything different.

What got into you?

l'm a sex symbol every day of the year.

l think a good girl deserves

a night off, don't you?

- Still look good to me, baby.

- Thanks, Chaz, but you'll eat anything.

- You look lovely tonight, Tobey.

- Oh, aren't you sweet?

Why don't you come here?

Take a picture with me.

Have fun tonight,

and bring back a man for me, will you?

We will.

So l'm on a billboard in West Hollywood.

Ripped Boi Clothing.

- That's great.

- Our little supermodel.

Hey. Don't touch, don't touch.

l wanna get a picture

of me in front of the billboard.

We'll take a picture of me like this.

Send it to my mom for Christmas.

Can you imagine the look on

her face when she opens it?

lt's gonna be hilarious.

And l see you two didn't dress

for the holiday at all.

- My costume's in the car.

- And yours?

- Come on, l'm wearing it.

- Oh. Your dad's old work clothes.

- Hey.

- Ready to go?

No, we're waiting for Joey.

Why don't you go get him?

l do not know how long

l can last in these heels.

Hey, you seen Joey?

You can't be back here.

Oh, come on, it's Halloween.

Look, l'm a ghost.

He's back there,

and please, don't touch anything.

Joey?

Don't come back herel

Are you okay?

No.

Are you sure jeans really go with this?

Yeah, l'm positive.

Where'd you get the costume?

Chaz loaned it to me.

l'm gonna get Jared Reynolds'

phone number tonight.

Jared Reynolds, varsity jock.

l thought you already had his phone number.

Yeah, l have it,

but l need him to give it to me.

l have to get it tonight too.

l can't even eat anymore,

l think about him so much.

You're bound to get

someone's attention, right?

You look so butch, man.

lt looks great.

Damn, Joey, you're gonna be

breaking hearts all over town.

He better not get

in any trouble, all right?

Come on, in that outfit?

He's gonna be getting into so much trouble,

he'll be walking funny for three days.

- Here.

- What's this?

This is a padlock and a chain.

lf you don't come home tonight,

l'm losing the key,

and it's gonna take a welder

to get it off.

- You dick.

- Lighten up. l was joking.

lt does look kind of good, though.

- We are going out, and we're doing it.

- Yes, we are.

This is the one night of the year,

Halloween,

when you get to indulge your most

perverse and twisted fantasies,

and nobody cares.

Jared Reynolds.

- That's all l want.

- That has some potential.

- Hand me my costume back there, will ya?

- All right.

So what about you, Chaz?

You know me, man.
