Film something.

Say cheese.

Pick up the camera.

Pick up the camera.

Pick up the camera.

Pick up the camera.

That's great.

Isn't this fun?

I'm really scared.

My keys were right here.

My keys were right here.

What's going on?

I don't care. I don't give

a f*** what's going on.

- Just get the spare...

- We're leaving. Baby. Baby.

Look in the drawer.

Tom, they came in our house

and they filmed us.

They filmed my babies.

Check my coat. Check my coat.

Put that down. Put it down.

No. I'm not gonna put it down.

I'm gonna hold it.

They said to keep filming.

- I don't give a f*** what they said.

- Sh*t!

- They were in our house.

- They are not in my coat.

Maybe they're gone.

Maybe they're gone.

Just... Just stay close

by. Shh! I heard something.

- Tom! Tom! Tom! Tom! Tom!

- Go away!

...Go away!

Hey, hey.

Ah!

Yes!

Come on!

You guys put a...

How did you put this in here?

Oh!

That is cool.

This is cool.

Okay. Okay. Wait.

"Wow. You look great. "

Thank you.

"But what will

the ladies think?"

Um, I don't know. They're

probably gonna love it.

"Go to the women's restroom

at the Magnolia Hotel. "

Awesome!

I've never been in

a women's bathroom.

I'm not... I'm not sure I wanna

break through that mystery.

Let mysteries exist.

I don't need to

know all the answers.

I don't need to see

what women do in there.

I assume they just go in the

bathroom to gossip and do cocaine.

I have

an announcement to make.

I'm farting.

I'm farting and I'm peeing

in the women's room.

I'm pooping in

the women's room.

Sorry. It's part of a contest.

I don't even know if I'm supposed

to tell you that. Oh, sh*t!

Did you guys see a card

anywhere? It looks like this card?

I thought there'd be like, uh,

chairs or couches in here.

Here. Got it.

Got it, got it, got it!

Come on. Come on, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

Is somebody there?

Hello?

Hello?

Hold it, Tom.

Just hold it for a minute.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

What is that? What is that?

I don't know.

- Try the phone again.

- I just did.

- They're still here.

What?

Sh*t. There are f***ing murderers

outside of our f***ing house.

We have to go, Tommy.

We have to get outta here.

Emmy, put the camera down.

And we're gonna leave.

Put it down!

Let's just talk

about this for a second.

Just what are we gonna do?

What are we gonna do?

Tom,

I'm really f***ing scared.

I'm really

f***ing freaked out.

Sweetheart. Sweetheart,

sweetheart, sweetheart.

Okay, we're gonna get outta here.

It's fine. They haven't done anything.

They're just... They're

just f***ing tormenting us.

Tom. Tell me the plan.

That's a gun.

Yeah, Emmy. It's a gun.

What are we gonna do?

Just walk out the front door?

What else are we gonna do?

We need to think about this.

I just wanna get

you across the street.

I just wanna get

to a f***ing phone.

- I just wanna call the cops.

- What if they're out there.

I'm not gonna shoot anybody.

They told us not

to tell anybody.

- This is a bad idea.

- No. It's a...

Bad. Bad. Bad.

The whole evening.

It's a f***ing game.

And we're just gonna leave.

- Put the f***ing camera down.

- No.

- And we are going.

- No.

- Just put the camera down.

- I'm not going out there.

- Put the camera down.

- No, Tom.

- Emmy. Emmy. Emmy. I'm...

- No!

I wanna get outta here.

- Jesus.

Sh*t. F***.

What the f***?

...Oh, God.

Tom.

What do we do?

I don't know.

They turned

the phone back on.

I'm gonna answer it.

Wait, wait, wait.

Let's see what they want.

Clown Town population,

Leonard.

Mayor of Clown Town, Leonard.

Over here is the car

dealership I got fired for.

I used to wash cars there.

Um, my boss told me,

"You don't do a good job.

You do a good enough job. "

And,

uh, I was literally the...

The best I could do for her.

- You look like a retard.

- Eat a dick, Gary.

I'm not gonna eat a dick.

I don't wanna eat a dick.

So I'm not going to.

- Okay. Dude, do you really

wanna do this? Yes, I wanna do it.

- All right. I'm gonna go. All

right. All right. Do you really?

I gotta do it. Ready?

- All right.

- All right, please. Just...

Make sure you get it all.

- Yeah. Yeah, I'm on it.

- It's gonna be good.

Hey.

Dude. It's not my... Okay.

- All right, you ready?

- Yeah, sure thing, man.

- All right. Go ahead.

- Let me take my glasses off.

Oh, my!

Oh, he just had to spit.

Are you... How does that feel?

Um, but we didn't get it.

We... We didn't get it.

We didn't get it.

- We're gonna get it this time.

- Just go wide or something.

- Yep. Yeah. Going wide.

- You ready for this?

Yeah. Thanks for helping.

Okay.

I can't believe I just f***ing

kicked you in the nuts, dude.

Here.

- Lay down, lay down, lay down.

- What do you...

Hey, Chuckles. Hey, hey.

- I gotta get the...

Hey, Leonard. Hey.

What do you call a f***ing idiot

who just got kicked in his nuts?

- Which one...

- You, f***-o!

I'm gonna be rich,

you a**hole!

Count to three, you dick!

All right.

All right.

Now if the king

and the queen were smart,

they would understand that the

monster outside the castle sees all.

- But you have to realize, boys

and girls. They're watching us.

Just because they're grownups

doesn't mean they know everything.

How is that possible?

Even mommies and daddies...

How can they

see what we're doing?

F***.

So the monster reached down

with his scaly hand...

...and pulled them up.

Do you know why, children?

Because they didn't listen.

What?

There's a transmitter.

What? A what?

The red light

is a transmitter.

...What?

I didn't leave.

I am so sorry.

We're sorry.

Okay,

I know you're watching me.

Please leave me alone.

Please leave me alone.

I'm sorry if I

did anything to you.

I'm very sorry.

I:

don't have any money.

I... I have some jewelry.

You can have that.

You can have that.

Okay?

I'll leave the camera on the front step.

And

you can take it.

I won't tell anyone.

Okay?

I promise.

Just leave me alone.

Just

leave me alone.

Leave me alone!

Go away!

Please go away!

It's a roller skating rink.

Filled with children.

This is your new present.

I am not what you

would call a risk taker.

In any form of the word.

I...

I sleep in. I'm a sleep-inner.

But I

don't take risks.

I take risks with my diet.

This is

an unusual night for me.

I mainly eat.

Uh, I complain.

Uh, I put up with my mother.

And, um, masturbate.

So, those four

things are my life.

So this is unexpected.

We're gonna do this. We're

doing it! We're doing it!

We're doing it!

We're doing it!

We're doing it!

This car sucks so bad.

We're doing it!

Whoa, whoa.

Hey, can you help me

film some kids?

- No.

- No, it's not a weird thing.

I just need to take

photos with, uh, children.

No. Get away from me.

Get away from my family.

No, all you have to do

is hold the camera.

- Fine. Fine. Fine.

- Yeah. Here you go. You got it. You got it.

- Here. You got it?

- Yeah.
