you can make a wish.

Remember you can make...

You can make your wish.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

I forgot about that. (CHUCKLES)

What are you gonna wish for?

Are you okay, dude?

FRED:
Yeah.

What happened?

Nothing just...

TEDDY:
You okay. Yeah.

Can we go buy some weed please?

Yeah. Listen,

do you wanna come?

Oh, f***.

Can you give me a f***in' break, Teddy?

Skull's waiting for us to buy some weed.

Um, no.

I should probably wait here

so I can get a ride home.

FRED:
Yeah, let's go.

Yeah.

Um...

Maybe tomorrow.

TEDDY:
Yeah.

I don't know what you're doing...

I'll text you or something?

Yeah, sure. I'll text you.

Or you can text me.

Thank you, April.

Let's go.

Call you or... I mean... FRED:

See you later. Come on. Come on.

Dude, what do you...

What happened to your head?

What, uh...

What do you mean?

I mean, what happened, dude?

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Who did that?

Hey, what would you do if,

if you were an Egyptian?

I'd be a pharaoh.

You can't be a f***in' pharaoh.

Why not?

I don't even want to

be Egyptian anyways.

All that sand and mummies and sh*t,

it's so boring.

I'd be an Aztec or a Mayan.

Then I'd f***ing

cut your heart out.

Hey, maybe we can

cut Skull's heart out.

Skull would f*** you up.

Just rip it out of him.

He wouldn't be able

to f*** me up if I, uh,

stabbed him in

the stomach first.

Stop. What the f***?

What are you doing?

Stop. (EXCLAIMS)

What are you doing, man?

Fred, f***, dude.

Put that thing... F***, stop.

'Sup, Skull?

How are you doin'?

How are you doin'? Feel good?

Nice.

So you, uh, so you got it?

Yes.

SKULL:
Just a dime,

right? Want a hit?

Hey, Skull?

Who'd you rather be

the pope or Pablo Escobar?

Escobar for sure, man.

Gets to have all

the fun. (CHUCKLES)

The pope gets to

live in the Vatican.

Escobar. FRED:
What do you think?

Shut the f*** up, Teddy.

You know what you want?

You what a knife.

Huh?

This f***er could cut your heart out,

with this f***ing knife.

Cut your f***ing heart out.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey... He f***ing said it to me.

You try it, I'll f***ing kill you!

I never said that.

This f***er's always

saying weird sh*t

and trying to get me to kill people.

I don't...

He want... He was talking about

cutting your heart out. I didn't...

FRED:
Skull, Skull, Skull, Skull.

Yes.

Would you rather

be gay or a girl?

Neither. (LAUGHS)

No, I'm just saying if you had to.

Like, if a genie said so.

Both of them have to suck dick.

Exactly.

Would that be so bad?

I mean, don't you ever

get jealous of those

girls in pornos that get to be

on their knees in the middle

of all those f***ing d*cks.

Are you f***in'

serious right now?

Are you be...

Are you being f***ing serious right now?

He's a f***in' f*ggot.

He's always saying weird sh*t like this,

dude. No, no, no, no.

This f*ggot is f***ing serious.

You don't like the idea of an

Around-The-World blow bang?

No, I like to have

a girl suck my dick.

What's the difference?

"What the difference?"

Well, I'll tell

you the difference,

because I am going in

and she's being got inside of.

Yeah, and why is one better?

Why does one make you better, Skull?

And why when you're inside her,

do you feel better?

I mean, aren't you

on her turf, inside her?

You know, isn't she

in control of you?

Like a little f***in'

baby with his mamma making him feel good.

Huh?

Skull, why? Why?

Because...

Because what?

(SNIFFLING)

(LAUGHING)

Hey, dude.

Hey, dude, dude,

dude, dude, dude.

Let's drive down the wrong way.

Fred, why do you

have to be like this?

Why do I have to be like what?

Why do you have to be all

f***ing crazy and psycho on me?

Why do you have to try so f***ing hard

to seem crazy, man? I don't get it.

(SIGHS) I just... I can't hang out

with you when you're like this.

Okay.

I can't hang out with you

when you're like this.

Pull over.

Pull over.

Just let me out, dude.

Let me the f*** out.

Pull over, man.

Let me out.

What are you doing?

(CELL PHONE VIBRATES)

I'm not Bob.

I'm not Bob.

I'm not Bob, I'm not Bob,

I'm not Bob.

(YELLING)

(LAUGHS) Let's go!

Let's go! (CARS HONKING)

(SHOUTING) I'm not Bob!
