FRED: Teddy? TEDDY: Hmm. FRED: If you were in the olden times, what would you do? TEDDY: Which olden times? FRED: Like, King Arthur, with knights and horses and shit. I'd be the king! You can't be king, dog. No way. Dude, if I went back, I'd be the fucking king. I'd be the king. Then, I'd fuck every virgin in the kingdom. No, you can't be king, asshole. Okay? You can't even be duke. The fact that you fucking said that shows you're not royalty. You're a peasant. Peasant! Dude, but think about it. When people time travel, they go back aren't they always the king, or they know the king? But that's in stories. In stories everybody's going to be the king. It's Aristotle shit. It's not real. Yeah, but neither is time travel. There're very few fucking kings and you wouldn't be one of them, okay? King Teddy? King Teddy? That's a fucking turd's name, dude. (SCOFFS) Fuck you, Fred. Fuck you, you're an idiot. You're an idiot. I know. If you were king, I'd fucking kill myself. Then you better die, motherfucker, 'cause I'm the king around these parts. (TIRES SCREECHING) Fuck, Fred. (FRED LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY) Oh, shit! (HORN HONKING) Whoo! That felt so fucking good. That felt so... MR. B: Hey, April! Wanna join us? All right girls, circle up. Bring it in. Have a stretch. All right, on the ground. Oh, I'm so wet. (GIGGLES) Not in a good way, either. Mr. B's a hottie, though. SHAUNA: Fuck, I know. Right? (CHUCKLES) Too bad he wants to get it in with April! CHRISSY: I know. No, he doesn't. Why would you say that? You just went to have a fucking cigarette during practice! I said I was going to the bathroom. I'd go for it, if I were you. Guys, it's so awkward. I baby-sit his kid. So? (BOTH LAUGH) I bet he makes a really ugly face when he comes. You pervert! No, I'm just saying... I bet it's like this. He's like... All right girls! Good practice. Oh, shit! You think he heard what I said? Yeah, he saw you. He's like, "Wait, that's my face." (CHUCKLES) April, can I talk to you for a minute? Hey, you think you can babysit Michael on Saturday? I have a date. I don't know why I try. Dates are always stupid. (CHUCKLES) Um, yeah, I can babysit on Saturday. Great. And I think you should play striker. I know it's a lot of responsibility, lot of pressure, but you look really good out there, so... Thanks. Great. So, I'll see you Saturday. Okay, yeah. Okay. (TAPPING RHYTHMICALLY) Fred. Hey. Come on, let's get the fuck out of here. Teddy, what would you do if you got into a car accident? Uh, I'd be pissed. If it was a drunk driving accident, and you were the one that was drunk? It's bad, you crashed right into another car, but your car still runs. Shit. And the other person could be dead, or they could just be a little whiplashed but you don't know. Who is the person? You don't know, man! That's the point. You can either wait around and the other person could be April and you two could fall in love, or you can get the fuck out of there. Either way you have to decide. Pretend like it happened now. (CAR THUDS) Boom! That's the accident. What would you do? I drive away. Drive away? Yeah. You fucking drive away? Yeah. That's your final answer? FRED: Shit, you got issues, nigger. Hi, Meatball. Hi. I know. Did you miss me? Come here. Oh, hi, silly pretty thing. Hey, Stewart. Get that terrible rodent out of here. Were you playing video games? Shooting hookers? (CHUCKLES) Yes. (CHUCKLES) Brilliant. (CHUCKLES) Oh, speaking of brilliant. I corrected your paper. I called it "Alexander the Dubious." You could have just corrected it, you didn't have to rewrite the whole thing. It needed quite a bit of work, sweetie. Okay. Thanks. Bye. JANE: What happened with your colonoscopy today? Are you okay? Yeah, hold on a minute. April's here. I just wanna say hi to her, will you hold on for a sec? Hi. Hi, honey. How are you? Yeah, I'm good. Just kind of tired. I'm gonna go lie down for a little. You look tired. Just said that. You really need to rest. Are you depressed? No, why do you always ask me if I'm depressed? I'm not depressed. I'm tired. All right. I love you. Okay, Jamal, I'm gonna call you back in a little bit. (GASPS) I don't care. Tsk. Whatever! You don't wanna talk to me? I don't wanna talk to you first. And I'm not doing that paper. 'Cause I don't give a fuck. This is what I think. Later. No one even cares 'cause you're fat. JANE: What is this homework? APRIL: It's algebra. Phew, I would never be able to do that. How do you do that? Because I have to. JANE: My little baby! I'm not a baby. You're such a little baby. Mmm-mmm. You are. You need to relax and rest. Okay, so everyone knows how to play, right? You just say, "Never have I ever..." And then if you've done the thing you have to drink. Like if you say, "I've never cheated on my boyfriend" and you have cheated on your boyfriend, then you have to drink! Um, never have I ever given Seth Monkarsh a blow-job during free period in the senior parking lot. WOMAN: Uh-oh. Drink up, Chrissy. (MAN CHUCKLING) Yup. Okay fine, my turn. Um, hmm. Never have I ever... (CHUCKLES) Kissed my uncle. WOMAN: What? Are you fucking serious? That was private. Fucking freak. (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) Hey, April. Hey, Teddy. Oh! You all right there? The chair's broken. (HAMMERING CONTINUES) Do you need a light? Sure. Thanks. Would you mind your own business? These are my stepbrother's. Not like they're fucking working anyway. (CHUCKLES) This party sucks. Do you wanna go over to the graves for a bit? Yeah. Do you wanna come? Sure. (SNORTS) Never have I ever had a lesbianic experience. I've never been in love. I think it's bullshit. (ALL LAUGHING) FRED: I stole your lamp shade. APRIL: Oh, my God. I'm gonna fall. (SCREAMS) APRIL: Oh, my God! (CHUCKLES) Ah, I got you guys. It's uncool dude, there could be ghosts around here. Jesus. Don't even say that. Hey, you guys remember that kid in eighth grade who suicided himself? Yeah, that's... I remember that. The Asian kid? Yeah. Why do you think he killed himself? He's buried here. I think he killed himself because he was Asian. I think it's pretty obvious. What does that even mean? It means his parents pressured the shit out of him because he was Asian, duh? I don't think that's true. I don't really think you know any better than me, so no point talking. Okay. You got it. Oh, shit! Whoo! (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) Stop! My parents are gonna fucking flip. Wow. It's kind of hard. That's what she said. It's cool looking. FRED: Ted, check this out. (CHUCKLES) Be careful. Do you think it hurts shooting yourself? Probably for a second. But, er, I think pain only hurts if it's prolonged. If I was going to kill myself, I'd kill a bunch of other people and take 'em down with me. I wouldn't waste it. Why wouldn't you do like a bunch of really crazy good things you know, like help people or save kids or something. I think when you're suicidal, though, you're probably only thinking about yourself. I don't know. I try to be good. Fuck good, guys. (CHUCKLES) Fuck good. Live the dangerous life. (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) Where have you been? Listen. I asked Tyler if he'd go out with me. And either he didn't hear me or he... I don't know why he would... (INDISTINCT SHOUTS) (CHEERING) Whoo! TEDDY: Where'd April go? FRED: Are you still hung up on April, dude? Get over it. Be strong. Be strong. (LAUGHTER IN THE DISTANCE) GIRL: Bye! (EXHALES) You okay? Shut up. (GROANS) Did you get it all out? (SPITS) Shut up. Do you want some water? Mouthwash. Okay, come on. It's in the bathroom. (PIANO PLAYS) Oh, yeah! (INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS) And the boring days are like clockwork What's up, April? How you doing? Good. Nice. I like your skirt or dress, I don't know what it is. But it's really pretty. The color brings out your eyes or something, it's really... I like it. It's tight. Even your moccasins, those are awesome also. (VOCALIZING) Just got it all going on. APRIL: Thanks. You enjoying the party? Yeah, it's fun. You know what your outfit's missing? Is this hat. I think it'd complete it. Actually... You look good as is, actually. You're raging tonight or you're just kind of chilling? Raging. We're going off, huh? Yeah. I'm asking... Do you want to do a shot or something? Yeah, cheers to that. Let's go grab one. Wow. Whoo. (SINGING INDISTINCTLY) (BELT BUCKLE CLINKS) (ZIPPER UNZIPS) (DOOR OPENS) (DOOR CLOSES) (LIGHTER CLICKS) Oh, fuck! Have you seen April around here? She's right there, man. Fred, let's get the fuck out of here, man. Hey Teddy, where are we going? Fucking nowhere. On a scale of one to baked, how baked are you? Fucking baked! (TIRES SCREECHING) What the fuck? (ENGINE REVVING) What the fuck was that? Dude, what the fuck are you doing? How the fuck did you know? How did I know what? How did you know I'd get in a fucking accident? I didn't. What do you mean how did I know? What if, yeah, what if? Just stop, stop. Let me out. Teddy, you're not really blaming me for this, are you? Really? I'll see ya. You know, you're being kind of a dick. (SIGHS) (SIRENS WAILING) Fuck. WOMAN: That's him, Officer. OFFICER: Okay. That's definitely the car. Okay, it seems like you're the one I'm looking for. Someone called your plates in, buddy. Can I see your license? Okay, I'm gonna need you to step out of the vehicle. To the front of the car, over there. Now face this way. It's a kid. Walk in a straight line. I can't do that. Okay, then recite the alphabet backwards from Z to A. Backwards? Yes. Can't do that shit. Why don't you try? Oh. See, we got a wise one here, huh? I'm not fucking wise, Chip. I just can't recite my alphabet backwards. Can't even do that shit sober. OFFICER: Listen, smart ass. You can either do the sobriety test, or I can take you to the hospital and you can do a blood test. What do you wanna do? Y-X-Z... F-U-C-K U! U! U! U! U, U! You have the right to remain silent. Fuck you. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand that? You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights? Yeah, fuck you, too. OFFICER: Hey! Put your head down. WOMAN: Oh, my God. Fucking pig! (SIGHS) Oh! Holy fucking shit! What? No fucking way, this is too good. What is it? How do we not know about this? What is it? Do you know that Emily has a blog? You're kidding me. Holy shit! Look at these pictures. CHRISSY: Who does that? Emily blew Teddy last night in your parents' bedroom. SHAUNA: You're lying. Mmm-mmm. How do you know that? CHRISSY: Seth told me. How gross is that? In my parents' bedroom? (LAUGHS) She will suck any dick that anyone puts in her face. God almighty! She's going down. (VIDEO GAME MUSIC PLAYING) What are you playing? Doodle. What's that? It's just like you have to get the turtle to the other side. Come on, enough of this game. Let's watch a movie. (MUSIC PLAYING ON TV) I don't think I'm allowed to watch this movie. Why? It's a good movie. Whoa. Okay, I think you're right. It's time for bed, okay? I don't wanna go to bed. I like this movie. I bet you do. Come on, let's go. Bed time. (GROWLING) (HISSES) (MEOWING) I want us to be able to be friends. I always asked you to hang out and like... (CHUCKLES) (DOOR OPENS) (DOOR CLOSES) A back area and like, hang out there with, like... MR. B: Hey. Hi. (SIGHS) What are you watching? I don't know. Some reality show. Ah. Well, that was a shitty date. What happened? Nothing. Just like always. Teachers are so boring. I can't believe you guys have to sit there and listen them all day. At least I can go home. Yeah. Well, I don't really listen to them. Oh, really? You don't listen to me? I didn't mean you. Of course I listen to you. Yeah, you better. (CHUCKLES) Well, I should go. Sorry. Bye. Well, thanks again, I really appreciate it. Sure. See you at practice. I'm dizzy. Emma, sit down. Why? Come on. Teddy Morrison. TEDDY: Yeah. Hey, are you in trouble? JUDGE: Mr. Morrison, this is the second time you've been before the court. Given the support you have from your family, the court would like to give you one last chance to turn your life around. You shall be placed on probation for a period of 12 months on the following terms and conditions. One, you shall perform 150 hours of community service at the children's library. Given your demonstrated talent as an artist and painter I think you'll do quite well. Two, you must make a formal and in person apology to Mrs. Grossman, the victim of the offense and whose car you hit. Mr. Morrison, if you fail to complete your community service hours or if you engage in any further criminal conduct of any sort your probation will be revoked and you will be committed to juvenile hall. All right, thank you and good luck. Teddy, can you help me? Yeah. Emma, get your shoes. I Love you, Mom. I love you, too, honey. Really sorry about all this. Don't forget to apologize to that woman. Try not to hang around Fred. Love you, Mom. Hey, Teddy, look what I can do. Yeah. Get out of my room! Could you get out of my room? Get out. He's cute. Give me some of that. He's not cute. Fred? Yes, he is. He's horrible looking. No, he's cute. You think everyone's cute. And this is how you didn't make a basket. Dude, chill the fuck out! Basketball, you know how to play basketball? It's how you play on the streets. Fuck you! What the fuck, Fred? Call it, bitch. I fucking am. Oh, you are a bitch? No, I'm calling a fucking foul. You play dirty. Oh, I play dirty? I play dirty? Yeah, you fucking do and you need to chill. Ladies, ladies. Do you think I play dirty? Do you think I play dirty? Jacko, you think I play dirty? Yeah, kind of. What the fuck? You're on my team. This isn't powder puff football. This isn't two hand touch. Let's just play. Chill out. God! (SCOFFS) (SPITS) Real fucking tough. Fucking cheese dicks. Enjoy your fucking game. See ya. Fuck you, mama boy. Hey, ladies, I wanna apologize for my bad language back there. (SNAPS FINGERS) How's the smoking? Fucking fine. Mmm. Can I try some of that fucking fine cigarette? That is fucking fine. You want it back? No? You know what bugs me about you, Pam? You remind me of a praying mantis. You're all long and mantis like and it just really gets on my nerve because, you know... How am I supposed to know if you're a girl or a praying mantis? I wanna go, Emily. Don't go. Did I offend you? Fuck you. Are you coming? I don't think she wants to go with you. Sorry. She wants to stay. Emily? I think I'm gonna stay. Yeah! Fuck you guys. Fuck you. Go eat some more of your fucking mates, bitch! Guess I kind of ruined your friendship. She wasn't really a friend. Just a girl. FRED: Wanna get out of here? EMILY: Yeah. Do you wanna come over? Yeah. Whoa! Emily's room. Do you like it? Hey, you got a lot of shit in your room. Yeah. What's this? That's my headband. Do I look sexy? Second grade. (CHUCKLING) Yo, what's up? (EMILY LAUGHING) Where's Teddy? Why does everybody always ask about Teddy, seriously? I don't know. You're always with him. He follows me around. What am I supposed to do? I'm not a rude person. Is that your guitar? Yeah. I don't know how to play it, though. Can I play? Yeah. Do you know how? Yeah, fucking master of guitar. Virtuoso. Emily Emily, Emily, Emily Emily, Emily, Emily Emily, Emily, Emily Whoo! Emily! Whoo! Whoo! Emily! Whoo! Whoo! I wrote that for you. Will you teach me how to play? Do you wanna know how to play guitar? All right, here we go. Lesson 101, G-chord. Put your fingers here. One finger here. One finger here. One finger here. Right. Now strum. That was not that bad. Now, here's the second lesson. Put... Do you like building forts? Sure. (EMILY LAUGHS) EMILY: What? EMILY: A butterfly kiss. Your mom never gave you those? FRED: Mom never gave me a butterfly kiss. All right. Where you going? What do you mean? You leaving? Yeah. It was fun. Was it good? Yeah. It was good. (SIGHS) Will you call me? Uh-huh. (CLEARS THROAT) Cool. All right. Peace out. I'll see you around. Bye. Yeah, whatever. ROBIN: His arm and that's the claw. And these are gonna be tentacles. Oh, good. Great job. Like a man-octopus. WILSON: And this is... ROBIN: That's... That's the head. Like a melon. Well, it's like a cantaloupe. I wanna see... Draw a cantaloupe and I wanna see how it looks compared to... I'll do it but I don't get it. Okay. Okay. You draw fast. You draw really fast. You know, Picasso drew fast. He could draw a dove in 16 seconds. Sixteen seconds. You know the dove? Uh, yeah, the doves are great. They are great. But, you know, to do it in 16 seconds it took six decades of practice. Technical skill is not enough. It's never enough. He had to master the masters before he was able to abandon what he learned and become Picasso. You know, you remind me of Sylvester Stallone. What? Yeah. Underneath all that muscle, you know, he's a very smart dude. And, you know, he wrote Rocky. I mean, he wrote Rocky, he wrote all four of Rocky. I mean, that dude's smart. (GROANS) What? Yeah. MR. B: April. What're you doing sitting in that locker. I don't know. I just like it sometimes. Surprised you can fit in there. I guess. Is everything okay? I haven't seen you at practice past couple of days. I just... I fell behind on a bunch of schoolwork so I've been catching up. Mmm-hmm. I promise I'll be there next week. Do I still get to play? (SIGHS) Yeah. I just wanted to make sure everything's okay. You know you can talk to me, right? That's part of what a coach does. Okay. If you need help with homework, I'm pretty good at that, too. Yeah, sure. Why don't you just bring your schoolwork to my house when you babysit next time? Okay, I will. Mmm-hmm. Yeah? So, I'll see you at practice? Yeah, I promise. I will. Promise? Okay. Promise. Don't get stuck in there. TEDDY: I'm really sorry about what happened. I can't... Oh, Teddy, Teddy. What I did. There's... There's no need to apologize. No, I... No. No, there isn't. And do you know why? Why? Because you have a problem. You're an alcoholic. But you know that, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's getting to be such a problem now, I just... See, that's good that he knows that. That I understand that. The reason I can spot people like you is because I have a problem, too. Eating. And in some way, your problem is much easier to solve than my problem because I have temptation at least three times a day. And... Thing is if you're an alcoholic and you know you're an alcoholic and you don't do something about being that, you're an asshole. That's a little much. We're talking about alcohol here... Right. We're talking about a slightly different set of circumstances from getting a Whitman sampler and eating every single chocolate in there. You know, I don't really... You know what, I really don't appreciate your attitude. Hello. I'm, uh, here for the community service. Oh, you must be Teddy. Yeah, I am. We're so happy to have you. TEDDY: Great. LIBRARIAN: Come on over and I'll show you around. Twenty two, 13... Where are you 22.13? TEDDY: Hey. Hey! You know what? I'm really liking it here. We really like you. And you know what? You can always come back even after all this is over. Right on. Okay. FRED: Hello. Dude, Fred, you can't be here. Why not? I miss you. 'Cause I'm working. Yeah, right. What're you doing? What's this? Rainbow Gremlins. It's tight. Used to be my favorite. This shit is stupid. This book is your favorite? Yeah. Faggot. Holy shit! Rainbow Gremlins were gay. Dude... They were fucking gay. Dude, they sucked the juice out of rainbows. Shut up. We're in a library, man. (SOFTLY) They sucked the juice out of rainbows. Rainbows are gay, get it? So? Don't get all defensive about it. It's just a fact. You and the Rainbow Gremlins are gay as fuck. Yeah, fuck you, dude. And they just hang out all the time, all together. That' all they do. Just fucking hang out. It's exactly what we do. What're you... No. Fred? You can't do that, dude. Dude, look. No... Pubes. (METAL CREAKING) FRED: That was really trippy, man. It's like, think of all the people that fucking died from eating mushrooms before they discovered the psychedelic ones. Like, think about all the people that, like, just ate mushrooms until they found the one that gets you all fucked up. Hey, man, let's just try this mushroom. See if it gets... This is fucking cow shit all over it. What're you saying? Isn't it cow shit that makes you high from the mushroom? Hey, you got anything going on later? You wanna go do something? TEDDY: Can't. Gotta finish this off. Get it. FRED: What do you mean? This is the one day I can't, man. Sorry. What am I supposed to do? I don't know. Dude, I don't even wanna hang out with you. You're boring as shit. All you do is fucking work and... Fuck that shit. (SIGHS) (CELL PHONE VIBRATING) All right. Step one for doing homework is turning off your phone. Fine. Okay. Now, it's simple. The way to write a good history paper is to choose your event and then just explain why it happened. History is just explaining why things happened. But what if I don't think there's a reason for something happening? Well, then you need to think harder. Yeah, but I do things all the time for no reason. Mmm-hmm. It's because you're young. And you don't know why you do things but there's always a reason. No? Mmm-mmm. I mean, if you wanted to, couldn't you just say that the reason everything's happened is because of one thing that happened at the very, very, very beginning of time. Mmm-hmm. If you wanted to be a smart-ass. Sorry. That's okay. I really like you. I really like you. Yeah, but I'm older and I know that there aren't a lot of good things around and I know that you are really good. (ANIMAL GRUNTING) (MONKEYS SHRIEKING) (MONKEYS SHRIEKING) JANICE: Okay, Teddy. So. Are you high? No. I don't smoke anymore. You can test me. You drew a penis on the runaway bunny. That was Fred. I didn't draw that. You had friends coming to visit you while you were doing community service at the children's library? No one came. It was me. I... But I will pay for it and I know it was stupid... Oh, yeah. You are going to pay for the book. But you're not gonna do your hours there anymore. They really like me there and... No, they don't like you. They don't like you one bit. You're lazy and you carved "ape" in the bench outside. It was "April." Why would you carve "April"? I don't know. What kind of jerk defaces a children's library? I mean, come on! People are counting on you. Your parents are counting on you. Your little sister is counting on you. What kind of example are you? What goes through your mind when you do it? Or do you not think at all? I'm gonna put myself on the line, okay? I could lose my job. If you don't start thinking about what you're doing you're gonna land yourself right in juvenile hall. And who's this kid Fred? Why was he visiting you at the library? Why do you wanna hang around with people like that? That guy sounds like a loser. Hey, Fred! Hey, buddy, you looking for Fred? He's not here. Can I come in for a second? Yeah, sure, you can come in. You okay? Yeah. What's... What's going on? You want something to eat, drink? No. Thanks, I'm fine. Had a pretty big dinner last night. Oh, yeah? Oh, I mean tonight. (CHUCKLING) Last night. What did you have? Pasta. (CHUCKLES) Yeah. I'm a little, uh... You smell that? Oh, yeah. I'm a little high. I noticed that. Yeah? It's cool, man. You wanna partake? Sure. Yeah. Really? Just do me a favor, though. Don't... Let's keep it between us. Oh, for sure. Okay. It's pretty strong, so go easy. I like your hair like that. My hair? Thanks, man. Ah. Ooh! Let me sit next to you. One second. Feel like I'm so far away over here. Oh, God. I love this couch. Yeah, it's cool. Isn't it comfortable? Mmm-hmm. It's my grandfather's couch, this couch. Yeah? Bounce on it. (LAUGHING) Seriously. Just... Just bounce on it. You want me to... I don't even know how to answer that like... Just bounce on it. Just do it. Just do it. Do it once. All right. My God. I didn't know you had an earring. I love it. I love that on you. Yeah? I did it myself. Really? You're stoned, aren't you? I love this hair. I love it... All right, all right. What? What? Just... Just touching my hair. Nothing. You were just touching my hair. It's funny. What's funny about it? Nothing. Relax, man. It's cool. What? Have you ever smoked with Fred? All right, dude. I should probably get going, man. Yeah, I just... Thanks for everything, dude, I'll see you around. Are you too high or... No, I'm good, dude. Thanks. All right. Uh... All right. You okay to drive? Yeah, I am. (DOOR OPENS) All right, buddy. (DOOR CLOSES) TEDDY: I think your dad tried to come onto me. FRED: (SCOFFS) My dad's not gay, Teddy. TEDDY: Okay. FRED: It's kind of one of those moments we're gonna remember forever. Me and you. You ready? Mmm-hmm. Dude, could I try first? You fucking kidding me? We'll switch off half way or something. Fine. Go on. All right. Dude, you're holding it way too fucking low. No, no, no. Chill. I got it. No. Give me the fucking thing. You're gonna... Stop. It'll cut your leg off. Be careful, dude. Let me try. Dude, it was my idea in the first... I'll give it you... Okay. Just fucking give it to me. Stop. Okay. Okay, I'm excited. All right, let's do this, dude. Let's cut this bitch down. Come on. This fucking tree needs to die tonight. (CHAINSAW SPUTTERING) Oh, yeah. (CHAINSAW STARTS) (LAUGHING) FRED: Whoo! TEDDY: Yes. I can't wait to come see your band play. I know. We're good. There's only three of us. (INDISTINCT TALKING) Hello. Drew your picture. Oh! Oh! That's... That's nice. Very nice. (BUBBLING) (DOORBELL RINGS) I'll get it. Hi. Hi. When I do this... Does it make me look Chinese? (CHUCKLES) We're going to play in the garden? Nice. FRED: Teddy was always gone doing work or probation or whatever you call that baloney. We talked on the phone a few times. Emily didn't have any friends. I didn't talk long. The only person she knew was me. Just enough to make her feel comfortable. One afternoon we went to Jason King's house. She didn't talk much. Jason's parents were gone. Sodas and vodka and smoking pot. I was a nice guy. I'm a nice guy to everyone. I got her into Jason's parents' bed and got her naked. The guys lined up outside the bedroom. Big brown house. We went in two or three at a time. Everyone fucked her. We ran around the house to... I kept going back in with everyone... She gave me a blowjob. I had my clothes on when I ushered people in. She said she did. I was a wild monkey. Then I left. Tell me you love me. (ZIPPER UNZIPPING) TEDDY: Hey. Hey. What's up? Nothing. How're you doing? I'm fine. How are you? Good. Uh... Do you... Do you want it? I love the pink ones. So good. All right. Thank you. Yeah, I'll see you later. Bye. Okay. That's how you play. Go like this. (INAUDIBLE SPEECH) All right. There you go. You almost got it. Come on. How's that foot? Come here. Not in this color, though. MR. B: Hey. Beer? No, thanks. (SIGHS) Wanna hear a joke? There's this horse and a chicken. And the horse falls into this big puddle of mud and, um, so the chicken gets his Mercedes ties it to the horse and pulls him out. Then the chicken falls into the mud. The horse doesn't get his Mercedes. He just stands there. And he says, "Just hold onto my thingy and I'll pull you out." That's funny. Well, it's not over. So, the moral of the story is that if you're hung like a horse you don't need a Mercedes to pick up chicks. Yeah. I get it. Why don't you talk to me at school anymore? You know why. Yeah, but you can at least be nice to me, not just ignore me. I mean, it's like you don't even like me anymore. Are you kidding me? April, I love you. What? Doesn't even make sense. What? Why? I have to go. April. What... Hey, hey, hey. April, I love you. Okay. I'm in love with you. I... I was quiet before because I didn't want anything bad to happen but I don't care anymore. All right, I... I just wanna be with you. We can figure it out. You... You can just say you're babysitting all the time and come over. No, I'm... I should be hanging out with boys my own age. Why? Why do you wanna hang out with a bunch of little boys. You're... You're better than that. Just be with me. April. Look, uh... Please, all right. Just... Let's just... Just start all over. Just watch a movie, find something silly and... (SIGHS) Like always, okay? Just stay. April! (DOOR OPENS) WOMAN: So the founding of Rome begins with a fratricide as Romulus kills his twin brother, Remus. Seems appropriate seeing as their father is Mars, the Roman god of war. (BELL RINGS) Folks, there will be a test on this sometime in the next week. Thank you very much. Great work today. April, can I talk to you for a minute? Um... I read your paper. Did someone help you with this? It doesn't seem like your writing. Um... I just asked him to help me correct it and then he just kind of started rewriting it and... I can't give you a passing grade on this. Do you understand? What's your next class? I'll write you a slip. APRIL: It, uh... It's college counseling. Do you know what college you would like to go to? They're so competitive these days that you need all the time you can get. I want you to give some thought to that because there are only a few weeks left. You excel in art class. Would you like to go to an art school? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. You know what you wanna do? You know what you wanna be? I don't know. I want you to stay on that soccer team because that could be so helpful. Can I go to the bathroom real quick? Uh, but... (DOOR OPENING) I'm literally punching myself that I didn't buy that dress yesterday. Oh, I know. No, honestly, it looks so fucking good on me. What if we just ditch and go to the mall and get it. CHRISSY: Let's do it. Your tits are seriously so huge today. I know, right? They look amazing. 'Cause I'm on my period, which kind of sucks but... Probably, but it's totally worth it. You're making the best of it. Okay, I have to pee like a mother fucking race horse. I do, too. Why do they even say "I have to pee like a race horse"? CHRISSY: I don't know. I don't get that, like... Do race horses just, like, have to pee all the time. I don't get it. SHAUNA: Because they're always racing and they never get to pee. CHRISSY: Poor horsies. Oh, I don't have toilet paper. Can you spot me? CHRISSY: Of course, sweetie. Oh. All right. How's my hair? (DOOR CLOSING) WILSON: Don't look at the easel. Look at the model instead. More green. Okay, no. You're looking at the easel. You're looking at the easel. Look at the model and don't look at the easel. Jesus. That model's kind of hot. She looks like an old tree. I'd fuck a tree. I'd fuck the shit out of that tree. TEDDY: Nice. (SIGHS) You know, I had a near death experience myself once. I was going down the tunnel in a convertible car, old convertible car. It's not my car. It's freezing cold. Ice, like brown melting ugly ice. I say to myself, "Bob, you're going down the tunnel of death." Then I say to myself, "My name is not Bob. I'm not Bob." Then I said, "It's not my car." And this is not my tunnel. I made a uie and suddenly I'm going fast the other way and there's a rainbow. It's a rainbow. You're going down the wrong way, Bob. Turn your art around. Dude, I'm not Bob. Yes, yes. All right. That's right. I'm not fucking Bob. Dude, what the fuck is going on? This is kind of fun, isn't it? Yeah. I'm doing an ocean. What are you doing? I'm also doing an ocean. Oh, I love yours. That's so good. Thank you. Hey, Teddy. Hey. Tanya's daughter came by and saw the pictures you drew of her. She liked them. Really? You should go see her. Room 22. Hey, Janet. Bye. Hi. How are you? Oh, pretty good. That's very pretty. Yeah? That's a fish. Hello. TANYA: Yes. Oh, hi. Hi. How are you doing? I'm fine. Sit down. I see you got the pictures up. TANYA: You draw so well. TEDDY: No. I'm crap. No. No. Come here. You're a good boy. And you captured me good. (CHUCKLES) Thank you. Now listen, always have faith and trust in your God-given talent. All right, what time is it? Game time! That's right. All right, listen up. I want you to play a smart game, pass the ball. Keep it tight. High pressure, all right? Everything we've been practicing. Okay, you got this. You got these bitches. (WHISPERING) They're pathetic all right. (GIRLS CHUCKLING) You got this, okay. GIRLS: Yeah! All right, bring it in. Bring it in. GIRL: Whoo! What are we going to do? GIRLS: Win. What are we going to do? GIRLS: Win! One, two, three, Panthers! GIRLS: Panthers! MR. B: Come on! (REFEREE BLOWS WHISTLE) Come on. (CROWD CHEERING) (INDISTINCT SHOUTING) Raquel, that's you! Let's go! Looking good, April! Come on! Okay, pull back! Stretch!

Shauna, what are you doing? (REFEREE BLOWING WHISTLE) GIRL: Thank you. It's un-fucking-real! (CROWD CHEERING) (GIRL SCREAMS) (GRUNTS) Oh. April, come on! April, go! All right. All right, good game! Good game. Shake. You got some good players. All right. Thank you. (CRYING) Raquel is such a cry baby. I know. She just does that for attention, though. You seriously think you're bad? I mean, do you even think she's pretty? Raquel? Yeah, she's fucking gorgeous. She's pretty. You think? She's not ugly. Don't blame yourself. Okay. All right. I'll see you next week. I don't think she's so pretty. April, she's pretty. So, you three upset, too? Obviously. Yeah, we're not crying but we're upset. It's just a game. We played very well. We kind of sucked. Um, no, you sucked. Thank you, Mr. B. (LAUGHS) Anyone need a ride? SHAUNA: No, my mom's going to come get us. CHRISSY: I'm with her. Sure. MR. B: Okay, let's go. I'll see you guys later. CHRISSY: Bye, April. Night. Night. BOTH: Bye. Where's Michael? Oh, he's at his moms. Oh. Want some water or something? Um, no, that's okay. (GLASS CLANKING) (CLEARS THROAT) It's nice to have you back here. (WATER RUNNING) Don't worry about the game. I know it's not Thursday. I always get the days wrong. (BOTH CHUCKLE) (GASPS) (MOANING) (FOOTSTEPS RETREATING) (JANE TALKING IN DISTANCE) (INHALES DEEPLY) (JANE LAUGHING) You so crazy. You're so crazy. Hi, sweetie. Hi, Mom. Hold on, Jamal, I'm gonna call you. Do you want some breakfast? Um, that's okay. I'm gonna call you back, okay? Let me call you right back. I can make you eggs and bacon. Okay, sure. That sounds good. How 'bout some orange juice? You want some orange juice? I just love you, you're such a good girl. (CHUCKLES) I love you, too. Aw. You mean so much to me. GAME ANNOUNCER: Test your might! (VIDEO GAME MUSIC PLAYING) Fight. You're not allowed to do that. Are you going to tell on me? Can I play? Sure. I don't care. All right, what do I do? You have to pick a character first. I wanna be the girl character. The girl character? She sucks. Trust me. I've played her. All right, well, I still wanna be her, so... Suit yourself. GAME ANNOUNCER: Fight! Hey, how do I fight? You press the buttons. Oh, come on, which ones? (MICHAEL EXCLAIMS) Which color? Hey. Yes! Two cookies please! What? I get two cookies because I won. (CHUCKLES) Says who? Raquel. Raquel? Raquel's my other babysitter. She lets me have two cookies when I win. Hmm. Well, okay. I want one Oreo and one chocolate chip. Here you go. Have 'em all. (CELL PHONE VIBRATING) Hello. MR. B: April. Who's this? Look, what happened between me and Raquel... It's nothing, okay? Can I just explain what happened? What? You broke up with me. And we weren't talking to each other. Can I see you? No. No, I'm not coming over there anymore. April, I love you. Please. (INDISTINCT TALKING) FRED: Dude, isn't this a... IVAN: Oh, gee, you're acting like we're in a recession. Give me. I wanna show you how to do this shit. I ought to... Chef Ivan at your service. Emily. Hey, Emily. Emily, hi, hi. Hi. Hi. (CHUCKLES) You look, um... You look really beautiful. You look, uh... Yeah, your whole, um, dress. You look really... You look really great. Thanks. All right, sorry. Hey, I have this idea, um... Uh, I saw this pool. And I was wondering maybe you want to like go swimming. Swimming? Yeah. We could go swimming We could go swimming Okay, fine. Fine. Really? Mmm-hmm. Okay. Okay, all right. Okay. (LOUD MUSIC PLAYING) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, where's the light? The light? Need a lighter? Yeah. Here you go. IVAN: Found it. Jump. Jump to me. Jump to me. Wait. Jump... Whoa! Let's go. Are you ready to see me get naked? What are you doing? I'm jumping in the pool. Aren't you getting in? No, it's cold. Come on. This is called night swimming. Ready, one, two... (SCREAMS) They were just saying that in college, like girls have sex all the time. So maybe like when you get to college, you won't be a sweet little virgin anymore. Thank you. (GIRLS CHUCKLE) She's a virgin? She's a virgin, you guys. Isn't that so adorable, though? Look at... She's so pretty. We can do something about that. No, April. You scared her off. They can help. Oh, honey. I mean, are you all virgins, too? Hey. Hey. How's it goin'? Good. How are you? You should, uh, flip one over for good luck. You know like when you get a new pack, you always flip one over and save it for last and then when you get to it you make a wish. Oh, cool, I've never heard of that. Like that? Yeah. Do you need a light? Thanks. Yeah. That movie is pretty stupid. (CHUCKLES) Why? I think all movies and TV shows and video games these days are just pointless. Okay. You're crazy. No, I'm not. Yeah, you are. Why would you say that? Because you just don't care about anything. I wish I didn't care about anything. But I do care. I care about everything too much. What do you mean? It's whatever, Teddy. I think you're the one who doesn't care, not me. What do you mean? I care about you. (SNICKERS) What? You... You never even hang out with me. Yeah, I love you. I love you. APRIL: Do you remember that night at the graveyard? When we went to that tree? The one that I carved a heart in? Yeah. That was fun. That was fun. I wish we could go back to that night. You know that me and Fred cut it down, right? What? That's so sad. (CHUCKLES) Yeah. That tree was probably there since the Civil War. (CHUCKLES) And now it's gone. It's kind of sad. Come on, get in the pool. No. Come on, it feels great. I'm shivering but not because it's cold. I'm shivering because you're so beautiful. Not gonna work this time. Emily, just get in the fuckin' pool. No! Get in the fuckin' pool, Emily. I'm not getting in the fucking pool. Get in the pool! I've been excited about this! Just get in, okay? Stop asking me. No! Get in the pool, whore. You can be a real cunt, you know that? Just get in the fucking pool, okay? You know what, Fred? What? I thought I loved you but you're a real... What? Fucking douchebag!

No. You guys look younger than me. BOY: How old are you? BOY 2: Where are you from? APRIL: Around here. BOY: I like your hair. It's really pretty. APRIL: Thanks. (CHUCKLES) You want the last one? They just took all my cigarettes. Sucks. I just bought this pack. Well, at least now you can make a wish. Remember you can make... You can make your wish. Oh. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. (CHUCKLES) What are you gonna wish for? Are you okay, dude? FRED: Yeah. What happened? Nothing just... TEDDY: You okay. Yeah. Can we go buy some weed please? Yeah. Listen, do you wanna come? Oh, fuck. Can you give me a fuckin' break, Teddy? Skull's waiting for us to buy some weed. Um, no. I should probably wait here so I can get a ride home. FRED: Yeah, let's go. Yeah. Um... Maybe tomorrow. TEDDY: Yeah. I don't know what you're doing... I'll text you or something? Yeah, sure. I'll text you. Or you can text me. Thank you, April. Let's go. Call you or... I mean... FRED: See you later. Come on. Come on. Dude, what do you... What happened to your head? What, uh... What do you mean? I mean, what happened, dude? Are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine. Who did that? Hey, what would you do if, if you were an Egyptian? I'd be a pharaoh. You can't be a fuckin' pharaoh. Why not? I don't even want to be Egyptian anyways. All that sand and mummies and shit, it's so boring. I'd be an Aztec or a Mayan. Then I'd fucking cut your heart out. Hey, maybe we can cut Skull's heart out. Skull would fuck you up. Just rip it out of him. He wouldn't be able to fuck me up if I, uh, stabbed him in the stomach first. Stop. What the fuck? What are you doing? Stop. (EXCLAIMS) What are you doing, man? Fred, fuck, dude. Put that thing... Fuck, stop. 'Sup, Skull? How are you doin'? How are you doin'? Feel good? Nice. So you, uh, so you got it? Yes. SKULL: Just a dime, right? Want a hit? Hey, Skull? Who'd you rather be the pope or Pablo Escobar? Escobar for sure, man. Gets to have all the fun. (CHUCKLES) The pope gets to live in the Vatican. Escobar. FRED: What do you think? Shut the fuck up, Teddy. You know what you want? You what a knife. Huh? This fucker could cut your heart out, with this fucking knife. Cut your fucking heart out. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey... He fucking said it to me. You try it, I'll fucking kill you! I never said that. This fucker's always saying weird shit and trying to get me to kill people. I don't... He want... He was talking about cutting your heart out. I didn't... FRED: Skull, Skull, Skull, Skull. Yes. Would you rather be gay or a girl? Neither. (LAUGHS) No, I'm just saying if you had to. Like, if a genie said so. Both of them have to suck dick. Exactly. Would that be so bad? I mean, don't you ever get jealous of those girls in pornos that get to be on their knees in the middle of all those fucking dicks. Are you fuckin' serious right now? Are you be... Are you being fucking serious right now? He's a fuckin' faggot. He's always saying weird shit like this, dude. No, no, no, no. This faggot is fucking serious. You don't like the idea of an Around-The-World blow bang? No, I like to have a girl suck my dick. What's the difference? "What the difference?" Well, I'll tell you the difference, because I am going in and she's being got inside of. Yeah, and why is one better? Why does one make you better, Skull? And why when you're inside her, do you feel better? I mean, aren't you on her turf, inside her? You know, isn't she in control of you? Like a little fuckin' baby with his mamma making him feel good. Huh? Skull, why? Why? Because... Because what? (SNIFFLING) (LAUGHING) Hey, dude. Hey, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. Let's drive down the wrong way. Fred, why do you have to be like this? Why do I have to be like what? Why do you have to be all fucking crazy and psycho on me? Why do you have to try so fucking hard to seem crazy, man? I don't get it. (SIGHS) I just... I can't hang out with you when you're like this. Okay. I can't hang out with you when you're like this. Pull over. Pull over. Just let me out, dude. Let me the fuck out. Pull over, man. Let me out. What are you doing? (CELL PHONE VIBRATES) I'm not Bob. I'm not Bob. I'm not Bob, I'm not Bob, I'm not Bob. (YELLING) (LAUGHS) Let's go! Let's go! (CARS HONKING) (SHOUTING) I'm not Bob!
