Ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Come on! There you go!

Here we go.

Here we go.

No!

- Argh!

[Screaming]

- No!

- Yes!

- Oh! Come on!

No!

- Yes!

- Come on!

- Yeah!

See you later pal

'Cause you lost the game

And you're going away

See you later

[drumming]

[Kazoo]

- Congratulations.

You're the first person to hear

the national anthem of Daveania.

That's right, buddy!

Dave doesn't need your house,

'cause he's got his own country!

A little place

I like to call Daveania.

Home of the right,

home of the just, home of the true.

Home of the Dave.

What do you think of that, huh?

Oh, what's the matter?

Too much for ya?

Wait 'til you get a load of this!

That's right, buddy.

Daveania's got it's own flag.

And you know,

you ain't nothin' without a flag!

Woo-hoo? Helloooo?

Hello, Mr. No Flag!

Ooh, don't you wish you had a flag?

Well, you don't!

'Cause I do! Woo-hoo!

Woo! Ha ha!

Sh*t!

F***!

[Door opens]

Hey, buddy!

- Goddamn it!

Out!

Out! Get out!

Out! Get out!

- Wait. Just hang on a second.

You're only saying that

'cause you're mad at me.

- Yeah. You're damn right!

- I'm not mad at you.

Want to know why?

Because I hated it away.

Because this is stupid.

I mean, we've been friends

for 21 years.

I don't want to be mad at you.

I don't want you to be mad at me.

I want us to have fun,

to be happy.

And I think we can.

I mean, I'm out there

and I'm all pissed off at you.

And then I was like, well, f*** it!

We can do whatever

we want, right?

So I say f*** being mad

with each other.

So what do you say?

Why don't you take whatever it is

that's bothering you about me

and just hate it away?

- Because I don't want to.

- What do you mean? Why not?

- Because this is something

I want to remember.

- Why?

- Because...

you're the type of person

who abandons his best friend

and that's something

I don't want to forget.

- F*** you!

Sh*t! Now I'm mad again!

Wait!

[Tape rewinding]

There.

Come on. Come on.

- I...

Get off of me!

- We're OK now!

Just do the same with me!

- No.

- What?

- No.

How many times

do I have to tell you?

What are you,

a f***ing moron?

- Sh*t!

Now I'm mad at you again!

And this time

I am not letting it go either!

- Fine!

- Fine!

- Abandoner.

No.

Dave, don't!

Don't!

Ah!

[Sproing!]

- Enjoy.

See you.

- You son of a b*tch!

That was my house!

Don't you walk away from me!

- Try and stop me!

Oh!

- How's that for stopping you?

- Not bad.

But I think

this might've been better.

[Gasps]

- Ah!

Oh! Oh!

[Chuckles]

All right.

Try this on for size.

Bet you want

to kick my ass right now!

Ha!

Ahh!

[Chuckles]

Ugh!

Ah!

Oh!

Ah!

Ha ha! Ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

[Laughing]

Oh!

[Laughing]

- Ooh, you look funny!

[Breathing heavily]

- Ooh!

- Oh!

Big mistake!

- You have no idea!

- What the f***?

- Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

Argh!

- Ha!

- Argh!

[Both]:
Oh!

- Argh!

[Dave laughing]

- Ah ah ah ah ah!

Argh!

- Argh!

- Argh!

- Ow!

- I hate you!

[Both]:
I hate you!

- I hate you!

- I hate you!

- Oh! Goddamn it!

- Ha! Obviously, you don't hate me.

- Look who's talking!

- Oh. Yeah.

I could've sworn I did.

- Yeah, me too.

- I guess this means

that deep down,

we don't really hate each other.

[Sigh]

- I guess.

- I wish we'd thought of that before.

- Yeah.

You know what this is like?

- No.

[Snickers]

- Remember that time

with the Hoban brothers?

- Oh man!

On the beach.

[Laughs]

- They buried up to our necks!

[Both laugh]

- And nobody realized

we weren't on the bus

and we were stuck there all night.

[Both laugh]

Ow...

Listen...

I think I owe you an apology.

- No. You...

- Hear me out.

I think I made a mistake

by leaving you for Sarah.

- Well, it couldn't have been easy

living with me,

always having to take care of me,

always having to do stuff for me.

- No!

You never held me back.

I did it to myself.

You, you're the best thing

that ever happened to me.

- I feel the same way.

- Yeah, well...

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

So, what do you want to do?

[Laughs]

- I don't know!

A couple of smart heads like us

out here in the middle of nothing,

I'm sure we'll think of something.

[Laughs]

- Ooh, yeah!

- You wanna race?

- Sure!

- To where?

- Uh...

There.

- There?

- No.

There.

- There?

- Yeah.

- You're on!

[Both laugh]

- You know,

this really isn't so bad.

- I always felt

sort of let down by my body.

- Huh! Well, believe it or not,

so did I.

Fate shook me away

And when I opened my eyes

Everything had changed

Everything I'd known

Had all been erased

When you

You had survived

I just had to tell myself

I was happy you were alive

Even the worst in you

I couldn't despise

The universe is fine

without us

We're just fine without them

So let's slide

between our minds

Live in a place

where we're friends

We wouldn't mind

If nothing were to change

'Cause we both know

the two of us

Have everything to gain

Just time here

No complications

No face near

Our time to hesitate

So let's waste another day

The universe is fine

without us

We're just fine without them

So let's slide

between our minds

Live in a place

where we're friends

We wouldn't mind

If nothing were to change

'Cause we both know

the two of us

Have everything to gain

[snoring]

[Crash]

- What the hell was that?

- I don't know.

[Applause]

[Elephants stampeding]

[Both scream]
