Yeah?

[ Bijou ] Here we go.

We're looking at some lovely locals.

Kind ofhot if you're into that,

uh, pasty adolescent thing.

Who else have we got here?

Where are these girls from?

Looks like the United States of''Generica. ''

Hmm.

Everyone's got

a median average right now...

That's gotta be him.

Moment of truth. MikeyI MikeyI

- Hey,you.

- [ Laughs ]

Colby.

Nice to meet you, buddy.

Look just like your older brother.

- Ah, that's what they say.

- It's kind of scary. Not necessarily a good thing.

[ Colby ]

Bijou.

Mikey.

- It's a pleasure to meet you.

[ Together]

Happy two-week anniversary!

- Oh. Oh. Check- Check it out.

- Oh, sh*t. Okay. I got it.

- Check out Mikey.

[ Colby ] Are they hitting it off or what?

Can you see 'em?

[ Mandi ]

Wow. She just polished offher drink.

[ Colby ]

Oh, he owes me big time. Look at that.

- Oh, my-

- They're stripping-

- Please.

- I think our work is done here. You ready to go?

- Go, BijouI

- Go, MikeyI

You're the man.

Okay. This is Colby's therapy service.

Here with my client Mikey...

uh, who has just met

a very lovely woman named Bijou.

He's not my usual type of guy.

I'm very pleased with the body.

Um, the mind is sometimes absent.

And that's good too.

I- I like my skinny rock-and-roll boys.

Put it that way.

- Okay.

- I like my boys who are, you know-

So maybe if you didn't feed him

for a week.

Maybe if I didn't feed him

for a week, uh-

She's crazy. She is crazy. But I'm kind of

crazy too, so it makes for a good match.

- Gorgeous guy, by the way.

- You like that one?

- Yes. Congratulations, young lady.

- Good. Thank you.

Before I met her, I'd get up

at, like, 5:
00 every morning...

- run two- two- like, two miles on the beach-

- Okay.

and then I'd go in,

you know, have some coffee...

and then I'd go out and surf

for a couple hours.

With Mandi, I don't need

that, uh, cardiovascular activity.

I'm just, uh, you know,

using him for sex.

So what you're saying is she lasts long.

- I'm saying the sex is insane. It's insane.

- That's great.

It's not how- how he

comes across to the world.

It's- It's-It's-It's kind of what he's got

going on kind of inside him, I guess.

I'm a butt man.

And she's got- she's got-

- Voluptuous is the word, I think.

- Yeah. She's banging.

I have a nickname for his schlong.

We're pretty open, sexually.

So, uh, you know,

we do some role-playing.

Open as in you'd be open

to me joining you?

What?

That? No, no. That wouldn't-

That wouldn't be acceptable.

So, do you trust him?

Not more than I trust myself.

But Bijou, on the other hand-

she could jump in.

Does he look good naked?

- That would be fun.

- I'm okay with that, actually.

I'm not selfish. I share.

You trust him as much as you trust yourself.

That's interesting.

- No, I just made that up.

- Oh.

So- So, what's this thing with Mikey

and some guy in a bar?

[ Bijou ]

Mikey served this guy at a bar...

whose best friend is a helicopter pilot.

And he said that he was flying

over New Guinea...

and he spotted this, like,

7 0-year-old bearded white guy.

[ Blowing ]

There's not a scratch here.

Forget the lens. I want to hear about

this Michael Rockefeller business.

It's just a- a theory.

- Whose theory? Mikey's?

- Yeah. Mikey and I.

He met this- this pilot at the bar

whose friend saw...

this 7 0-year-old man in custody of-

Hey. He didn't say

''in the custody of' though.

Oh. Whatever. With these

New Guinean warriors on a riverbank.

It all checks out. You should read

about Michael Rockefeller on the Internet.

There's all kinds of books

written on him.

[ Colby ]

About time, Mikey.

What up? You got it?

Okay. Let me check this out.

''The Mystery of Michael Rockefeller. ''

You found it.

- Taking care ofbusiness.

- You stole-

Dude, the card is still in here.

All right.

Now, here is the book...

that I so thoughtfully procured

with, uh, my accomplice Colby:

The Mystery of Michael Rockefeller.

- Procured. Good word.

- Yes.

Okay. There he is,

Michael Rockefeller.

- Can I see?

- Check him out, girls.

- He looks like a beatnik.

- ''1961.

''Twenty-three-year-old

Michael Rockefeller...

boat capsized off the coast

of New Guinea.''

- Uh, that's right on. It's right-

- Yeah.

And just to kind of throw this in there.

There's been a huge mystery, like, legend

around the guy for the last 30 years.

Multiple sightings in New Guinea, uh,

of a white dude with a big beard.

Sometimes spectacles.

Yeah. It says Rockefeller family

offered $1 00,000...

for any- any whereabouts- any information

on his whereabouts in 1 961 .

So wait. He was-

He was our age when he went missing.
