What If Page #2
- Fried chicken?
- Nope.
- Fish and chips?
- Gross.
Funnel cakes? Doughnuts?
Deep-fried banana sandwiches?
No, but Elvis ate those.
And something called Fool's Gold.
- What is that?
- I don't know exactly,
but I read on the Internet
that Elvis died
with 40 pounds of undigested feces
still in his intestine.
Thank you for telling me that
in the middle of dinner.
- You're welcome.
- Next time I take a bite,
- you can say "diarrhea."
- Diarrhea.
Is this something
you learn in med school?
Yeah. They go through the...
- All the famous people.
- All the famous people
and how much feces were left in
them at the time of their death.
- Marie Antoinette?
- Tons.
In fact, they had to guillotine
her intestine as well as her head.
Yeah. They just, like, moved the body
further along through the machine.
Who do you think weighs the feces?
I think, as the king,
it would've been, like,
a job that people fought for.
- Mm-hm.
- "Well, if I can't dress him,
if I can't make him look pretty for the
casket, can I at least touch his poo?"
- You think he kept a bit?
- I'm sure he did.
In a matchbox or something, yeah.
Like, one of those little vials
you could wear around your neck.
Like, yeah, he had, like,
a little sh*t locket.
- Heh-heh-heh-heh.
- Yeah, yes.
CHANTRY:
So, like, I've beenwith Ben for five years, and, like,
I get that guys don't want to hang out
with the girl with the boyfriend,
but it just sucks, you know.
It just makes you feel like
the only thing
that's interesting about you
is how you look with your clothes off.
I mean, like, it should be easier
to make friends if you have a boyfriend,
because there's no confusion.
Uh, so is that it?
That's your big pitch
to be my friend?
- Um...
- That was terrible.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I'm just...
I practiced in the mirror, and...
- Anyway...
- Friends?
- Yeah, why not? Friends.
- All right.
Is this how you make friends?
Like a business deal?
Yeah, actually. It's just my style.
- It's quite unnerving, but it's good.
- Heh-heh.
WALLACE:
What's shaking, hot pants?
You can't write,
What's shaking, hot pants."
Have you seen anyone wearing
hot pants in the last five years?
That homeless man who shouts
at people near the pool.
[COMPUTER DINGS]
WALLACE:
So I found this website
where they explain what
Fool's Gold is.
- You take
- Heh.
A loaf of Italian white bread,
you coat it in butter
and bake it.
[TIMER DINGS]
Then you hollow out the inside
and coat it
with an entire jar of peanut butter,
and an entire jar of jam.
Then you stuff it
The website said it serves
eight to ten people, or one Elvis.
You know, a jar of peanut butter
has, like, 6,000 calories in it.
And bacon is not even a food.
Technically, it's just pure fat.
[BLOWS RASPBERRY]
re:
just pure fat.I can't confirm how much feces
were in Elvis's colon when he died,
but I did find out
how he discovered Fool's Gold."
They get on the jet, private jet,
fly to Denver, get to Denver,
order Fool's Gold sandwiches
to be delivered to the plane,
eat them, fly back to Graceland
without ever getting off the plane.
- Wow.
- And the best part is,
February 1, 1976?
The day my parents got married.
- Oh, no! Wallace!
WALLACE:
Come on.CHANTRY:
Got it!WALLACE:
Mail storm![SIGHS]
[MOUSE CLICKS]
ALLAN:
it starts dirty, it ends dirty.
A relationship that starts with a breakup
is doomed to end with a breakup.
- Who said that?
- Me.
You, after Vicky Cardero gave me
a BJ at her boyfriend's keg party
- and I wanted to ask her out.
- I recall you ignored that advice.
- What was the result?
- It ended dirty.
Gonorrhea-and-a-fistfight dirty.
This is not gonorrhea and a fistfight.
I'm not trying to break them up.
I just... I'm happy
Is this a good
housewarming gift for Nicole?
Why are you buying her a gift?
She's moving into your house.
Girls are weird about this sort of stuff,
and I'd rather overcompensate.
How much for the flying moose?
This dinner is a terrible idea.
Normally, I wouldn't care about you
tumbling into some mess with a girl.
I'd even rejoice at the statistically tiny
but mathematical possible chance
of a threesome, but this is my cousin.
I accidentally saw her labia one time,
immediately, explosive diarrhea.
Oh, but you are misreading
this whole situation,
because you can't interact with
a woman without sex screwing it up.
But I can, because I'm a grown-up.
And it's so adorable
More importantly,
if this was your bedside lamp,
do you think the warm glow would make
you feel more sexually experimental?
- Absolutely.
- What do you think?
I've got the same one at home.
DALIA:
It's the worst thingthat's ever happened in all of history.
Was it worse than when that meteor
hit Earth and killed all the dinosaurs?
Yes. My breakup is definitely
worse than a stupid meteor.
I just can't believe
that Rob cheated on you.
- With a grad student!
- No, I know.
Her thesis is probably
on how to be a rat-faced whore.
I'm so sorry.
I liked him so much, I don't even want to
sleep with his friends to get back at him.
I mean, I will,
but I'm not gonna enjoy it.
Do you think there might be, like,
a less skanky option for rebounding?
No. This is something
you have to do.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- I don't want to wreck your dinner party.
- No, no, it's not a dinner party.
It's just, like, my friend, Wallace.
Stay. This Wallace guy
could be a good rebound for you.
Okay.
Please, go easy on him.
He's delicate.
- Hi!
WALLACE:
Hi.- Hey. I brought booze.
- Thank you! That's so nice.
WALLACE:
You're welcome.- You can take your coat off.
I will. Thank you very much.
Well, this place
looks just like I imagined.
- Really?
- Well, I mean,
yeah, I pictured more potpourri
and doilies and stuffed animals
- and things, knowing you, but, yeah...
- I put that away.
I know that it weirds you out.
Ben, Wallace is here.
WALLACE:
Hi.- Hey, Wallace. How are you?
Hi.
Oh. Oh. Sorry.
- No worries.
BEN:
Let me dry off my hands.- No. Nice to meet you. Thank you.
- Hey, everybody.
- Hey.
Oh, um, Wallace,
this is my sister, Dalia.
WALLACE:
Nice to...- Nice to meet you.
WALLACE:
on. Hello.- Hi.
[DALIA SNIFFS]
- You smell really good.
- Really?
Yeah. Or maybe
it just smells really bad in here, right?
No, he smells great.
But it is getting kind of oniony in here.
- Can someone open the window?
- Yeah, I'll get it.
CHANTRY:
Right over there.
So, Wallace, I'd like to get
your opinion on something.
- Uh, yeah?
- Europe.
The...? The continent?
- See?
BEN:
Is it?- Is it?
CHANTRY:
Yes, it is a cont...BEN:
Is it a continent?- It is.
He is from that continent,
he should know.
Okay, look at a map,
any map,
Europe's not a separate continent,
it's clearly part of Asia.
