A man breaks his leg

Inside a hospital

We just thought of that

And it could change the world

We're like a smart

oyster full of pearls

Such as an ultrasound

of a new baby

With a Santa hat drawn on, yeah

That's my kind of Christmas card

What if a butterfly

Was made out of butter

These small thoughts

Could destroy Big Brother

The world's cutest kitten

Just hugging a dog

Just one of many of

Our incredible thoughts

What if one thought

could cure the people

What if one song

could end all evil

Imagine if a fish

could play guitar

And also sing

It would sound bizarre, like

My name is Mr. Fish

Yeah

These guys' thoughts have

granted my wish Oh, yeah

All I wanna know, who was in that

fish costume? That was amazing.

The fish was me, Tyrus.

Shh.

(VOCALIZING)

And that may have just

Changed the course of time

I swear, my mind Blows my mind

Incredible

Let me see that Donkey Roll

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

Donkey Roll

Let me see that Donkey Roll

Incredible thoughts

Donkey Roll Incredible thoughts

Let me see that Donkey Roll

Incredible thoughts

Incredible minds

Too many great ideas inside

It's a miracle my head

can contain them

My spectacular brain

(SAXOPHONE PLAYING)

Harry!

Changing how we think

about space and time

Now it's time to share that

with the people

My brain is a genius

QUESTLOVE:
When it was

happening, I was just like,

"Yo, I cannot believe I'm

here to witness this, man."

How did my brain conceive them

(CROWD CONTINUES CHEERING)

(APPLAUSE)

Yes! Yes! F***!

Whoo! Yes. (LAUGHS)

I just performed the Donkey

Roll with the Style Boyz.

I was a Style Boy.

HARRY:
When

I walked out onstage,

all I could think of was,

"I'm so happy.

"And I really hope that Tony!

Toni! Tone! Is watching,

"and that they

feel like sh*t."

CONNER:
A wise man once said,

everyone's career is on a wave.

Sometimes, you're up.

Sometimes, you're down.

But the trick is not to lose

yourself along the way.

And when you're up,

don't be an a**hole about it.

It's like my mom always says...

Yo, what the f***? (LAUGHS)

That stage manager lady just

macked on Lawrence super hard.

Yo, do they even know each other?

(LAUGHS) Oh, my God!

And why is "Deboarrah" here?

Anyways, be cool to your friends, right?

That's what I was saying.

Yo, they are gonna f***.

Damn, that is hilarious.

But the point is,

be a good person.

The rest will fall into place.

And that's Conner4Real.

Isn't that right, Maximus 2?

(CHUCKLING)

(MIMICKING MAXIMUS 2)

It sure is, Conner.

What? (CHUCKLES)

He wasn't really talking.

That was me doing the voice.

(CHUCKLES)

(SNARLS)

The Style Boyz are getting

back together again.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Yeah, they broke up. Then

they buried the hatchet,

and now I guess they're

working together again.

They're like friends

from childhood.

Yeah.

For life.

And they had, like, tough times

and now they feel good

about being back together.

"We're gonna put

aside our differences."

They actually do something.

Sometimes, I think about doing that.

Yeah.

I haven't talked to

my mom in three years.

I moved out here. I thought I could

get like a commercial agent.

I just wanted to be

a longboard model.

I never graduated high school.

I never graduated middle school.

(SCOFFS)

It'd be a lot of

fun if the four of us

hung out outside of the office.

Hey guys, can I ask you

something really...

That I've never really

asked you before?

Yeah.

Do you guys have a photograph of

James Franco leaving a Denny's?

Oh yeah, totally! It's right here!

F***, yeah!

Let's see it.

Put it up.

WOMAN:
Bring it up.

We got it.

(SLURPING)

(SINGING) Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah

Words and truth

One fine evening

on the sandy coast

The feeling was irey

'round the drum circle

When the wisest rasta I ever saw

Gently joined us and sang of Jah

Roots and culture

seeped from his bones

He took out a spliff and said,

"Pass this around"

So I took a righteous drag

It was the best sensi

that I ever had

And then I felt the chills

run up my back

"My good man,

tell me, what was that?"

He said, "My friend,

you just smoked crack"

"You just smoked crack"

Oh, crack

I just smoked crack Oh, my God

And it felt f***ing great

This feels amazing

Thought it was marijuana

Oh, yeah

But now it's too f***ing late

I can't go back

I love crack Holy sh*t

Now I am invincible

F***, yeah

If anyone tries to take my crack

I'll kill them on principle

Some call crack bazooka

Others call it base

But no matter

what name you call it

It's the best invention ever

by the human race

The government

spread lies about it

They say that it is no fun

But on that plastic shell

I sucky

Sucky, sucky, sucky

till the crack is gone

Now we should legalize it

Legalize it

Set the people free

And legalize

We should legalize crack

So that I can smoke it all
