Ignition Skate Ministry.

And, uh, we're gonna feed a bunch of kids

hot dogs and do raffles...

and then we're gonna preach the word

a little bit and just have fun.

Hello, everybody at the skate park. Hey. We

got about 130 tacos over here from Del Taco.

They're free. We got bags of chips...

Doritos, Lay's chips...

and free waters for

everyone here at the park.

Ah, me too!

- Do you have to be a Christian?

- Yeah.

You know, pretty much

what we do is we come out here...

to kind of show the love of Jesus Christ

through skateboarding.

I know that's kind of weird-sounding,

'cause a lot of skateboarders...

are looked at as punks

and outcasts and whatnot...

and we kind of gladly accept that image.

You know, we kind of like that.

So when you really want to be different...

is you go ahead and you skate for Christ...

and not yourself

and not other people around you.

But I want to talk to you about this big

word out here real quick called "influence."

- Have you ever heard of that word before?

- Tacos.

You guys in high school,

junior high school?

You ever heard a parent say,

"Oh, yeah. My son Billy...

he was such a good student, and then he

started hanging out with the wrong crowd...

and then his grades went down."

You ever heard that before?

It's not a too uncommon thing, right?

Any of you guys ever been

that bad influence?

- Yes, sir.

- I know I have.

I've been both.

I've been the bad and the good influence.

And if anything that I just

talked to you about, you know...

if it's kind of, you know,

stewing in your brain a little bit...

feel free to come and talk to me

more in depth about it.

Talk to my buddy Rich here,

Garrison, Kevin.

These guys will all listen to you. Watch

these two guys. When they skate, they rip.

And, uh... And I just want to say

thank you guys again for listening to me.

Please enjoy these tacos.

Uh, take two if you want.

- Thank you.

- You guys are awesome. Thank you for listening.

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you.

You're welcome.

Uh, I broke up with my girlfriend.

I kind of figured it'd be better for me

and my girlfriend to just be friends.

So that way, like... Since I kind

of figured we'd break up anyway.

You technically didn't break up.

Like, it wasn't official either.

Yeah, it was.

Well, you, like, told her

that you were...

that you needed to talk to her, and then

she assumed it, and then told everyone.

She gets pretty upset,

and she keeps it for a long time.

You just kind of have to wait it out.

It's like a storm. You can't stop the storm.

You just have to wait it out.

Hide in the basement.

You either get it right,

or you don't get it at all.

And if you don't get it at all,

you don't make it worse.

#I gave you true love #

#I thought there was no doubt at all #

#Still you went away #

# With not a word to say #

#Argue this tomorrow #

#Finding me in sorrow #

# What would I do

in a world without you? #

#Please bring your love back to me

Yeah, baby #

# 'Cause when you left,

you took a part of me, yeah #

#My need is growing stronger #

#And the nights are growing longer ##

What's Halloween on?

Wait, what...

Do you know what you're gonna be?

We should be Gandalf.

Both of us.

- There's his magic staff of doom.

- Where?

And he's carrying...

he's carrying a murse.

If you look carefully right there,

that's a murse.

Yeah. It is.

I don't think I have anything

that we could wear to be Gandalf though.

Is this Gandalf?

I think we need a robe.

Or a beard.

We should go look for stuff for Gandalf.

All right. Let's go.

I'll have to tell my mom.

- #Do the time warp again #

- # Do the time warp again #

Found the beard.

So, yeah, I just

recently broke up with Skye.

Living it out now and thinking about it,

it might not have been the best move.

Just 'cause, like, when I hang out with

her, I'm, like, the happiest person ever.

She's awesome, and...

Like, I don't know. Like...

I just kind of, like,

miss what was going on before.

You know, after I, like, cut it off.

So I don't know.

Like, I guess I'm starting to have a little

bit of feelings for her again, but...

I don't know. I guess I'm just gonna

take it as it goes right now and...

I guess see what happens.

- Has Kevin taken you to the house yet?

- No.

I think that you guys need to, like,

not leave food there and stuff.

- Well...

- Considering there's rats, right?

We have food in the pantry,

and it's locked.

Right, but rats are a lot smarter

than you guys.

How much death

do you think this hat will cause me?

A lot?

Oh, my gosh! Kevin!

- This is so cool!

- Yep.

This is a big drop.

Got another board I can use?

No!

- My turn.

- Again?

- Ow!

- Stupid!

I'm gonna land it first.

Screw you.

I wanted to land it first.

That's why I went for it first.

- Yeah, what's up with that?

- Yeah.

Why do you wanna know?

We used a razor to make deep incisions

into my arm.

- Come on, dude.

- I can't believe you, like, didn't notice this.

This has been there for, like, a week.

You know that.

Yeah, I don't know.

Sorry about that.

It's been there for, like, a week.

I don't know.

I just don't want him to get, like...

become a friggin' creep.

I'm not already?

Well, you know...

I don't want your life

to get too screwed up.

- I know you guys love me. Will you guys...

- Well, then cut it out, man.

Help me.

Whoop.

It's like...

kind of freaking us out.

I've done this before.

Why are you freaked out now?

'Cause you're doing it again.

I mean...

Everyone thinks I'm a freak.

- Not really.

- Yeah.

No one thinks you're a freak, Kevin.

- This is awkward.

- We just love you...

This is more awkward

than after I kissed you.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I don't really do things

to make people upset.

Skye... she kind of got

wasted a little...

and ended up kissing Kevin kind of.

Just... Not because she likes him, but...

uh, just out of being wasted.

And Kevin kind of likes her,

but... I don't know.

Kind of gonna make tonight a little weird

if we all hang out again.

So I'm not really sure

what I'm gonna do tonight...

but hopefully I have someone

to hang out with.

Uh, hey, Garrison.

Uh, I was just calling to say

that I'm sorry for, uh...

what happened with me and Skye.

Uh...

Yeah, I don't know how, like,

you feel about it and all...

but I just wanted to let you know

that I'm really sorry...

uh, about what happened and all.

So...

uh, I mean...

I want... I really want you to come

to Arizona with me and all.

So, yeah.

So if you could call me back,

that would be cool.

All right.

Bye.

Like, me and Kevin have been

friends since, like, 13 years old...

and, you know,

we never really had any issues.

And... I don't know. I wouldn't want to say

that things changed too drastically...

but just after that,

things are a little different.

You shall not pass!

What's this?

Reese's.

If there's any chance that I would

ever get back together with Garrison?
