and get a f***ing binding resolution
to keep me from f***ing destroying you.
motherf***er!
I will massacre you!
I will f*** you up!
- Could you find out who that was? Go.
- Yeah. Yeah.
You wear these.
More like Simple Jack teeth.
Okay.
Hey. Look, I know you're a big fan,
and that's great...
Put teeth in!
Now do movie.
The whole movie?
I can't. I don't know the whole...
You perform! You perform or die!
Monkey swine!
Pa.
More stupid!
Pa, why you gotta make me feel bad?
You saw what I saw.
Tugg Speedman is dead meat
if we don't do something soon.
Yeah. We could do something
by getting our asses back to the hotel,
which is in the other direction!
Ain't right.
What would've happened
in The Great Escape
if Steve McQueen and them dudes
had turned tail and ran?
Well, that's what that movie was about.
They were escaping. They ran away.
The point is they did something.
Then what are we supposed to do, huh?
'Cause he's cleaning a gun
with no bullets. Yeah, that's a plan.
I'm just like a little boy,
playing with his dick when he's nervous.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
I got an idea.
Crazy's better than nothing.
Back in '98, I did a low-budget
titty comedy for Skinemax.
- Sex Camp. Remember it?
- Yeah.
Anyway, me and the campers
from the uncool camp
had to break into the rich girl camp.
So, what we did,
we built a catapult
out of logs and underwear,
and they shot us over the wall,
and we parachuted down.
Look,
you guys, we already know the plan.
Are you f***ing kidding me?
I'm giving you gold.
We do it just like in the book,
Chapter 26, the Wet Offensive.
The book of Tropic Thunder.
Yeah, did you guys read the book?
The flap, I read the back flap
and saw the pictures.
Well, it's okay.
It's exactly the same as in the script.
Cool.
You guys all read the script, right?
I don't read the script, script reads me.
What the hell does that even mean?
What you getting at with the books,
scripts? Spit that sh*t out, man!
All right. The Wet Offensive.
Osiris and Fats go undercover
as a diversion.
Osiris and Fats go undercover
as a diversion.
via the river.
Yeah. But those dudes
was trained soldiers.
Yeah!
And we trained actors, motherf***er.
Time to man up.
And I ain't gonna sugarcoat.
Some of us
might not even make it back.
What do you mean?
Like not on the same flight?
Alpa and I's already wearing
earth mama's natural night camo.
- Cool it, Benson.
- Sorry.
We gonna scout, get a plan together.
We ain't back in 20, come looking.
We are Flaming Dragon.
Okay.
Flaming Dragon's
a heroin manufacturer.
They're responsible
for an eighth of the drug trade in Asia.
- Huge profit margin.
- Guys!
Would somebody please let me know
what the game plan is?
Peck! We have it handled.
Please, don't interrupt.
Everything's under control.
I got it. Got it.
- Les Grossman.
- We not get money yet.
Price now 100 million!
You pay now,
Great. Let me get this down.
Wait! I got a better idea.
Instead of 100 million,
how about I send you
a hobo's dick cheese?
Then you kill him! Do your thing!
Skin the f***ing bastard!
Go to town, man! Go to town!
- No...
- In the meantime, and as usual,
go f*** yourself!
- No.
- We don't negotiate with terrorists.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hey, hey, are you insane?
- I think I could've done that better.
- I thought it was good.
They're gonna kill him!
And?
"And?"
It's a cold, hard world. Sh*t happens.
We'll weep for him, in the press.
Set up a scholarship in his name.
Eventually, and I'm talking way,
way down the road,
we file an insurance claim.
Preferably before
the end of the fiscal year.
Actually, the claim alone would net us
more than the movie would lose.
You can't be serious.
You kick in the door to my house,
all ants in your pants,
sucking my left nut to get a TiVo scrap
for the third runner-up
Sexiest Man Alive 1998,
and you're asking if I'm serious?
Let's face it.
The kids aren't dressing up as Scorcher
for Purim anymore.
Speedman is a dying star,
a white dwarf heading for a black hole.
That's physics. It's inevitable.
We've been handed
an incredible opportunity here, Peck.
The universe is talking to us right now.
You just gotta listen.
See, this is the good part, Pecker.
This is when the job gets fun.
Yeah.
Ask and you shall receive.
- All right.
- You play ball, we play ball.
I know you want the goodies.
Welcome to the goody room.
You paying attention?
'Cause I'm talking G5 for the Pecker.
That's how you're gonna roll.
No more frequent flier
b*tch miles for my boy.
Yeah!
Playa.
Playa!
Big dick playa.
Swinging past your knees!
Big dick, baby.
Yep.
Or you can grow a conscience
in the next five minutes
Let me get this straight.
You want me
to let my client of 15 years,
one of my best friends,
die in the jungle, alone,
for some money and a G5?
Yes.
A G5 airplane?
Yes.
And lots of money.
Playa.
Yeah!
Smack it up, flip it, rub it down!
But Mama take care of Jack a lot.
How many more sleeps
before she wakes up again?
Sorry, Jack.
She in heaven now.
Damn! I thought the movie was bad.
She sleep forever.
To the man's credit, he's actually
eased up on the retard throttle.
And now that's added a balance,
and the audience can connect.
I mean, this is Theater 101,
but, you know, he's had a tough road.
He'll become a naturalist.
- Yeah.
- Break down the aesthetic distance,
then the...
Told you I'd tag you back.
Can I tell you that I'm sorry
for any offense I might've caused, man?
- I just got caught up in...
- In being a dumbass?
I guess so.
Chicken George sh*t, I have no idea.
- Neither do I.
- It's beyond me.
- It's beyond me.
- You confused.
- I am a little confused.
- I know.
But are we cool?
Not really.
Hey, man.
- How's it going?
- Good. Yourself?
Hey, so, if it's no big deal,
I think I'm just gonna hang back here
for the mission.
Watch the stuff.
- Is that cool?
- What? No!
We need you, Jeff.
What are you talking about?
Okay, look, man.
- I got something to tell you.
- Okay.
You know those jellybeans
I was eating?
Well, they weren't jellybeans, okay?
- They were drugs.
- Really?
I get down there near the mother lode,
I am done. I'm jonesing bad, man.
I'm gonna f***ing do all the heroin
in the f***ing world.
If you guys wanna make it through
this thing, you gotta strap me to a tree.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah, I'm serious. Literally, a tree.
And you can, no matter what, you can't
f***ing untie me until it is done,
until it is out of my system.
I'm gonna say,
"Hey, man, I'm cool. It's cool.
"I'm finally better. I'm finally better.
Untie me."
Don't listen to me!
Anything I f***ing say is a lie!
