and you are an oddball,

okay and I will use a pool stick

and jam it right up your...

Okay, okay,

what do you want?

I just want to go

to the bathroom, actually.

Can I pee?

I just have to pee.

There's a corner right there.

Can I use the bathroom?

I just have to pee, okay?

Then you'll never see me again,

I promise.

- You promise?

- No, no.

Yes!

- You promise you'll never, ever contact me, ever again?

- You'll never see me again.

Only in your dreams

and your nightmares

will you guys ever

see me again, okay.

This is so... okay fine.

Just go.

- Thank you.

- No. After you.

Don't touch me.

All right.

We're cool.

What should we do?

Let's just wait.

What if he doesn't leave?

He'll leave.

He's harmless.

Do you want me

to kick his ass?

I am harmless.

I was against the war in Iraq,

Afghanistan.

I believe in love,

just like that Beatles song.

You know who the Beatles

were don't you... butthole?

Yes, I know who the Beatles are.

Yeah, I bet you do.

I bet your musical tastes are really great.

You're probably the fan club president

of the Nickleback squad.

You've probably got a poster

of Justin Bieber

on your ceiling.

You've probably got a

Taylor Swift tattoo

on your testicles, don't you?

Look, I'm not judging you, man.

To each his own.

Where's my Culture Club record?

Erik, you used the bathroom.

You should leave now.

Did you know that

she proposed to me?

No.

Yep, she asked me to marry her.

That's who I am.

You need to leave,

like the lady said.

Well, you need to stop referring

to that lady as a lady.

That lady has a name.

Erik, just go.

Let me ask you a question,

Jay-Jay.

Dude, get out of my face.

Look at me.

Look at me for a second.

Jody, I'm going

to punch this guy.

Just look at me

in the eyes, okay.

You got thirty seconds to

get the f*** out of here!

Or what?

You're going to open

a can of whoop-ass? No, no.

I'm going to open a whole six pack of whoop-ass.

I'll drink a six pack of whoop-ass for breakfast.

In fact, I'll drink a keg.

In fact,

I was thinking of opening up a brewery of

whoop-ass. Erik, what's going on? Are you okay?

Listen to me, Jason.

Look me in the eyes

and do as I command.

Oh!

F***!

Jason.

Oh my God.

What the f*** was

I suppose to do?

You didn't have to hit him.

Oh God.

Come here. Let me see.

It hurts.

I think he

"septumated my devium."

Oh God, you're bleeding.

Yeah.

Erik.

What's happened to your eyes?

I'm blinded by your love.

Stop.

Why are you so ridiculous?

- Because I love you.

- Don't say that.

I do.

I'm sorry.

I need you.

Okay, okay.

I'm going to go get a washcloth.

I'm calling the cops.

You don't need to call the cops. I told you he's

harmless. Harmless? Yeah, jealous ex-boyfriend.

Have you seen Star Eighty?

Ow, Ow.

Get off of me.

- Erik!

- F***.

- Ow, ow.

- What the f*** just happened?

I'm sorry.

Did he bite you?

God, he f***ing bit me.

Good-bye, Jody.

What? Jesus.

Okay, just stop it.

Stay still.

Oh, f***! F***!

Just stop.

Oh God, f***.

- Do something, make it better.

- Okay, okay. Just stay still.

Make it better, make it better,

make it better,

make it better, make it better.

- F***, F***, F***, F***...

- Shh.

Hey, Hey.

- What's going on?

- Oh, hey.

- Is that...

- How are you doing?

- It's you!

- Yeah!

- It's you!

- Hey, what are you doing?

Come on, get over here,

get in this.

What?

Try some of this right here, man.

Oh, I would love some, yeah.

Yeah, come on.

Get on in there.

- Oh, thank you.

- There you go.

It's so humid tonight.

Mm-hmm.

Global warming is

serious business.

People really need to take care

of the environment, I think.

Yeah,

I don't really think about the

environment so much, anymore.

I did a lot when I was younger,

but so much now, you know.

You want some more of this?

- Yeah, I'll take a little sip.

- Yeah, have some more.

It is hot though... hot as f***!

Mm-hmm.

- Insane...

- Yeah.

Oh man.

I think I'm done with him.

Yeah me too, I think.

Yeah.

Do you want a bev nap?

- Oh, you've got a bev nap?

- Yeah.

Oh perfect.

I just keep them around,

in case. Oh, great.

Oh yeah.

- It's good.

- Mm-hmm.

- I ate earlier.

- Mm-hmm.

That was a nice little snack.

Very good.

Yeah, hmm.

Mm-hmm. Wow.

I got everything?

You got a little bit,

right there. So...

So, you think he's got a family?

I don't think about that

kind of stuff anymore, do you?

- I do actually... lately too, more than ever.

- Really?

So you still care a little bit?

Sure, yeah.

Maybe we should go have

a little walk and talk.

Yeah, that would be great.

- Yep, John Lennon.

- Wow.

Ken Lay, yeah.

Amelia Earhart.

- Amelia Earhart? Wow.

- Mm-hmm.

What about Slobodan Milosevic?

Yep, he's not dead.

He's one of us.

I knew that f***er wasn't dead!

That sucks!

How about Pol Pot?

No, I think he's dead.

He's really dead.

That's a relief.

That's good.

How's John Lennon?

- Awesome.

- Is he awesome?

He's an awesome guy.

But Ken Lay is obviously,

a real dick.

- Oh I'm sure.

- He's a piece of sh*t.

Even though he comes to this...

We all get together at this...

Every five years there's

this big get together,

- it's beautiful,

- Uh-huh.

A big celebration,

everybody hangs out.

Ken Lay's there,

he's a dick,

but Lennon is there

so it's cool.

Oh, yeah that would

be cool to meet him.

So you've got to come.

It's fun, you have to

come to this next one. I don't think so.

I think I'm kind of done

with all of this stuff.

What do you mean?

I'm just fed-up with it, fed up

with the whole thing.

You don't think it's better

now than it was before?

Look, I was selfish before,

but now it's out of control.

I think I want to start thinking

about other people, you know.

Maybe start a family?

It's hard to explain.

Yeah, it's hard to explain.

You know,

you talk too much.

You've got to stop talking.

You know?

It's nice to be quiet sometimes.

Okay.

This is me here,

my apartment.

Oh, you still live

in an apartment?

Yeah, what?

You have a house?

- Do you live in a house?

- No, no.

Where do you live?

Hotels mostly.

- Hotels?

- Yeah.

Do you want to come in?

- Oh yeah, I would like to take a shower if you don't mind.

- Oh sure, not a problem. - Oh great.

Hey, do you really thing

I talk too much?

What?

Do you really think

I have a big mouth?

Yes, you do.

- Hey, will you do me a favor?

- Sure.

- Just wash my back.

- Wash your back?

Just wash my back.

There's a... just wash my back.

Come on.

There's a back washing

stick back there.

I know,

but it's my shoulder.

I have a bad shoulder.

I can't get my arm around.

Just get in,

just stand right there.

Okay, okay.

Well, what am I

suppose to do?

You've never washed

somebody's back?

Wash my back.

I'm not going to bite you.

That's funny, okay.

Go ahead.

There you go, yep.

So, you really want

to have a normal life,

just an average...

No, not an average life.

Wife, kids, picket fence,
