Between your eyes?

What the hell is that?

and Dances with Wolves.

the last thing to wind up

smokin' would be your ass?

I'm gonna miss you, dog,

Yeah, I figure if I study high,

take the test high, get high scores.

Right?

Look at that car.

Is it on fire?

Hit that, son.

This is the sh*t.

That sh*t is called Ivory.

Damn.

Ivory! Holy sh*t!

You got to be kiddin' me!

Yo, yo, you, Silas!

Chill out! Silas!

Word!

What the f*** is goin' on?

Ain't you supposed to be dead?

I am dead,

but this is what happens

when you smoke your boy.

Holy sh*t!

Man, let me try that!

Silas, relax.

Can we talk about

this in your car?

Can we talk about

this in your car?

Look. I know how you can

get hi gh scores.

I'm a ghost, ghost, ghost,

ghost, ghost, ghost.

Don't touch me, man.

It's me, dog.

What are you doin'?

You just runnin' the streets,

f***in' with the livin'?

No, bro.

I'm just here for you.

But you gotta understand

people can only see me

when they smoke me.

I got all the answers.

I can consult with people.

Socrates, Nietzsche--

even the old dude

who made up this test.

That's bullshit.

I bullshit you not.

I told you I have your back,

even if I got hit by a bus.

Your ass didn't

even get hit by a bus.

I made it!

I can't feel my legs,

but I'm alive!

-

-

- And you predicted that sh*t?

- Yeah.

What are you doin' here?

You gonna hook me up

with a chick...

with no gag reflex

or some sh*t like that?

Even better. I'm gonna

be in there with you.

By the time I'm done with you,

every college in the country

will be knockin' at your door.

Ow! Sh*t!

Man, I must not

be high enough, man.

- He a ghost, man.

- Cool. That explains everything.

I'm up here tryin' to put

my f***in' hand through the--

We've never had anybody,

let alone two people,

get a perfect score.

We either have

a one-in-six-billion

phenomenon or a cheat.

Damn!

But it would have been

impossible...

for either of you to cheat,

you had two totally different

versions of the test.

Congratulations. These scores

are going to get you into

any college in the country.

Yo, we still high

on that Ivory?

Dean, it's as simple as this.

The trustees

of the university

are riding my ass...

about getting some color

up at Harvard.

Excuse me?

Ethnic diversity.

The trustees seem to

think we need it.

How come we don't

have more minorities?

How should I know?

If we don't do something soon,

I might get fired.

What about Upchuck Kamalu?

He's Eskimo.

Why isn't he considered as a minority?

And I brought him in.

Yes, but it's breaking the bank

keeping his igloo frozen.

Dean, what about

those two guys I read about

from the tri-states?

They made perfect scores

on their THC's!

I saw those guys' pictures.

They look like mug shots!

I don't care. I want them!

At Reparations Technical Institute,

we offer a cornucopia of educational...

and business opportunities

for brothers and sisters

to pursue higher learning.

Read from the brochure,

brother.

Brothers, join us...

at Reparations Technical

Institute and learn hatred

for the white devil...

in a relaxed campus atmosphere,

where classes range...

from... to...

Hatred for the White Devil...

Advanced Hatred for the White Devil...

and...

volleyball.

- Next!

- You think you're all hot tamales

right now, I'll tell you.

Why don't you come to the base

and understand what it's really

like to be somebody special?

You can work hard, you learn...

- and then you can build

refrigerators and such.

- Next!

- Taking a vow of celibacy,

- Next.

- frees your mind and your body.

- Next! Next!

Harvard?

Man, ain't it a lot

Of richie people up there?

Sh*t, I gotta roll up

that joint, dog.

Well, with test scores

like theses, you can

roll up any joint you want.

But Harvard, gentlemen,

is not just any joint.

It's an institution.

All I wanna do is develop

my herbal in a real lab...

and get some head

while I'm doin' it.

Well, we have

the finest botany department

in the world...

and a quality of life like no other--

music, artists and the women.

So, does it sound tempting?

Ivy League atmosphere?

A place where you can

really grow academically?

Sh*t, I fucks with ya.

Sh*t, I fucks

with you too.

- Is that good?

- Yes, that's a yes.

Then we'll fucks

with each other.

Then we'll fucks

with each other.

Eh, yo.

Damn!

Alls look like they

If there's grass

on the infield, play ball.
