So f*** you.

[serene music]

[birds chirping]

[Zach] I guess I just, like,

feel bad for Daryl, you know.

We used to hang out a lot in third grade.

And it's not his fault

that his dad's f***ing poor.

[Josh] Still, it doesn't

make him not a douchebag.

[Zach] He's not a douchebag, Josh.

[Josh groans]

Look, he can be a little much sometimes,

but it's not like he

ever means anybody harm.

Still hang out with him like in school?

We have health together.

He's always trying to hit on Cindy Maples.

Cindy Maples is the one

that went to the hospital

because she had a frozen

hot dog in her vagina?

Yeah, yeah. That's her.

Cool.

[man] Give me that bong, Amber.

Sh*t.

Josh, we have to go.

[Josh] Hey, hey, hey.

- Hey. Hey!

- Josh, don't stop.

- Just keep going.

- What?

You seen my c*nt?

[Zach] Forget it.

- What?

- Have you seen my c*nt?

[Zach] Josh...

Dana, his girlfriend.

We haven't seen anybody's c*nt.

We're actually kind of in a rush.

Josh, right?

- Yeah.

- How's Danny doing?

He get that basic training?

They break him in yet?

What?

Tell him I wanna hang out with

him when he's back in town.

I bet he's great at sucking dick now.

Josh's brother joined the Navy.

[beeping]

It's the Marines.

What?

It's the f***ing Marines!

- What's that?

- F*** you!

[groans]

What did you say?

[man] Careful, his p*ssy's out.

F***ing Marines.

Damn right it is.

You boys wanna join the f***ing Marines?

I'm recruiting tonight.

[Josh] F*** those f***ing f***ers!

F*** John Whitcomb too.

What kind of a**hole

puts Kool-Aid in his hair?

People like that are f***ing worthless.

[Zach] John is okay.

[Josh] He used to be until he started

hanging out with these pieces of sh*t.

[Zach] All right, Josh. We're over it.

- Doesn't matter now.

- Yeah, whatever.

Man, come on. Let's go this way.

Come on.

[Zach] That's her house.

Who, Allison?

Uh-huh.

How do you know where she lives?

[chuckles] We would take the same

bus before they changed the route.

She's cool, right?

She is very cool.

You could leave her a note if you wanted.

"Dear, Allison. I had this

idea for the talent show."

Ever told you of that

time with the glue bottle?

No.

It was like...

You know, it was like last year.

I'm doing art and you know when like...

In the glue bottles, when

the glue dries over on the top

- and you can't open it?

- Uh-huh.

So she was trying to open this glue bottle,

she couldn't get it. I don't know, she

was just struggling for some reason.

And I just couldn't stop staring at her.

And then all of a sudden,

the whole thing just ruptured.

Just went... Sh*t, there's

white glue all over her hands.

And she just looked

and whispered, "Whoops."

It was the most erotic moment of my life.

You know, 'cause the glue is like sperm.

Oh.

So the bottle is sort of

like the [shouts] penis!

Dude, come on. What the f***?

Nobody is here. Nobody is here, Josh.

- The car's not in the drive.

- There's other people.

There's nobody around here.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Oh, sh*t.

- [loud thump]

- [gasps]

[sighs] Oh.

- Hey.

- You got me.

- Oh, hey, Josh.

- Hey, Mrs. Taylor.

Are you staying for dinner?

No, ma'am. I'm just here

to pick up my things.

Great. 'Cause I didn't make enough.

My, um, parents have been

wanting me home earlier lately,

because my mom gets

depressed if I'm not there.

- Aw!

- He's full of sh*t.

- Now...

- It's all crap.

- All right.

- Bye.

- See you, man.

- Yeah.

What are you making?

Cubed steak.

What's that?

It's a steak in cubed form.

Oh, you, sir...

had a telephone call.

Okay?

Why are you acting so weird?

It was a girl.

Allison something. The

number is by the phone.

Oh, um...

I'm just gonna be in my

room for a second, actually.

We eat in ten minutes.

[phone keys beeping]

[line ringing]

- [man] What?

- Hey, is Allison there?

No.

[Allison] Who is

that? Give it to me.

Who is this?

Uh, hey, this is Zach.

Hi, Zach. Sorry, my brother...

No, it's cool.

So, wait. You called me?

Yeah, um, sorry.

I still had your number from that

thing we did in Mrs. Moore's class,

uh, with the planets.

With the... Yeah.

Yeah. You know, with the song.

Dead on a plant Where the

nuts are Mostly carbon-dioxide

[imitates comical explosions]

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I totally remember that.

Yeah, cool.

Cool.

So, the reason I'm calling,

I'm having a birthday party thing.

I mean, it's really

more of a hangout.

Like, you don't have to bring

presents or anything like that.

But it's gonna be at Meghan's house,

and we're just gonna hang

out, watch some movies...

Uh, I was wondering if you

and Josh wanted to come.

You still hang out with

Josh Templeton, right?

Yeah, he just left here.

[chuckles] Oh, God. You guys...

[boy] Allison, get

off the f***ing phone!

[upbeat music playing]

Boy!

[school bell ringing]

[man] Allison.

What the f***?

[wailing continues]

[boy] Watch it, you piece of sh*t.

[microwave beeping]

Bagel Bites are the best food.

I don't like them. They

burn the roof of my mouth.

[Daryl] Because you're doing it wrong.

Charlie's mom always keeps

the fridge stacked with these.

I like Charlie.

'Cause he's smart, his sister has big tits,

and he always has f***ing snacks.

Where is Charlie?

Probably sucking a dick.

He said he wanted to hang out later.

Daryl, don't sit on the counter.

This f***ing guy.

Where are your folks, Josh?

Well, they both work, and then

my brother usually has like

practice or lessons or something.

So no one's here until

like 5:
00 or 6:00 usually.

His brother's like a total prodigy.

I thought you had an older brother.

Yeah, I do. Danny's in the Marines.

His sh*t's still here?

Sh*t? What do you mean "his sh*t"?

[Zach] Josh, you know, his sh*t.

Oh.

[Daryl] This place seems f***ing haunted.

[Josh] This used to be a rec room.

Danny started sleeping here

after he got his job at Harveys.

Take your shoes off.

[Zach] You gotta be kidding me, dude.

Welcome, welcome.

Holy sh*t.

I love this room.

This place is f***ing incredible!

Look at all of them.

Holy f***.

It's a f***ing water bed.

You're f***ing kidding me!

Holy sh*t.

Look at that f***ing ass.

Is that his f***ing girlfriend?

Look at all these f***ing asses.

Holy f***ing sh*t!

Holy f***.

Holy f***. [grunts]

Dude, dude...

This is f***ing weed.

- No, you can't have some.

This is 100 bucks worth, more maybe.
