that's easy...

I had an uncle

that went through chemo,

and afterwards,

he was terrible at games.

But I guess that makes sense. It

would be weird if he got better.

Then everybody

would be getting chemo.

(ALL CHUCKLE)

I love you guys.

Love, I love this game.

You know?

I don't know what it is.

It brings out the best in us.

Except today.

Today, I don't know.

I really f***ed up your wedding,

Jerry, and I am super sorry.

Jerry?

- Has he... Has he hung up?

- Jerry?

You didn't f*** up my wedding, Hoagie.

Come on.

- Right?

- No.

You might have ruined

a moment. But...

I screwed it up. You should've

been up there with me.

All you boys should've.

That's my fault.

I always thought that

you guys were

just much closer to each other

than to me. So...

What?

I mean, if it seems like

we were closer,

it's only because

we're physically closer

because you always ran away.

Successfully.

You know, I mean,

not for nothing,

you might actually be

the very best person

at this game on the planet.

He might be, right?

Yeah, you're really good

at tag.

Yes, but you've kinda

missed the point.

I mean, it's not about trying

to get away from each other.

It's actually about

having a reason to be

around each other. You know?

Yeah.

I mean, Ben Franklin said it best.

Am I right?

"We don't stop playing

'cause we grow old..."

ALL:
"We grow old because

we stop playing."

I been wanting to say for a few years,

that quote is not Benjamin Franklin.

That is German anthropologist

Karl Groos.

Why are you ruining

the moment?

- I don't wanna know that.

- He's in the hospital.

- It felt like the right moment.

- It's not the right moment.

SABLE:
It is the right moment.

CHILLI:
It isn't.

So, Jerry...

It's 11:
55.

Get in here,

and let me tag you.

You know, I've been

so attached, I suppose,

to my perfect record

all these years,

dominating you fools.

Maybe I should.

Maybe I shouldn't.

If you think about it,

Jerry is a tag virgin.

Or champion.

Just let us deflower you.

We'll be gentle.

I can't.

Come on.

I can't do it.

Then I'm not gonna tag anybody

and the game ends with me.

That's dark.

Or, just let me tag you.

All right, f*** it.

- It!

- Oh, my God!

Loser! Loser!

CHILLI:
You suck!

Awesome.

- Yes!

- You officially suck.

Aw, you're so it!

Goddamn! All right!

I love you guys.

Love you too, man.

You know we got five minutes

left of May.

I ain't gonna be last it.

B*tches!

JERRY:
Look, Bob!

Where are you gonna go, Bob?

No!

Verbal amendment?

That women should be playing.

- Amendment.

- Yeah, amendment.

Oh, you just made

a big mistake.

(CHILLI CHUCKLES)

- You're it, b*tch!

- You're it now!

- You're going down!

- You're too intense!

You're gonna suck

my tiny ginger balls.

Gross!

You're gross!

(SCREAMS)

Come on!

Sh*t! No.

- You're it.

- No, I can't get involved in the story.

We made an amendment!

Come on,

it's a little bit fun right?

You have about three minutes.

Sable! Come on.

Where are your ethics, buddy?

Come on. Just reach out.

- No!

- You got it.

Oh, sh*t, hang on a second.

CHILLI:
You okay?

- You all right?

- Yeah.

ANNA:
You're it!

Tag, brother!

You're it!

- CAMERAMAN:
I'm it?

- You're it?

CAMERAMAN:
Now you're it.

You got me. No way!

(LAUGHING)

- Not bad, huh? Pretty hot?

- Wow.

(GROWLS)

You're it!

(SCREAMS)

Yeah, baby.

CAMERAMAN:

Hey, f***er. You're it!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

You're it! Yeah!

You're it, baby!

Once, there was a kid who

Got into an accident

and couldn't come to school

But when he

finally came back

His hair turned

from black into bright white

He said that it was from

when the cars

Had smashed him so hard

(HUMMING)

Once, there was

this girl who

Wouldn't go and change with

the girls in the change room

But when they finally

made her

They saw red marks

all over her body

She couldn't quite

explain it

They'd always just

been there

(HUMMING)

Yeah

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Both the girl and the boy

were glad

'Cause one kid

had it worse than that

(HUMMING)

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

- MAN:
You're it.

- F***er!
