Charlie: Turn this up. This is my jam right here.
Dennis: Oh, yeah... oh, shit! Did I just miss the turn?
Mac: Oh, yeah, dude. I think it was back there.
Aw, man! You better hurry up. We're gonna miss that boat!
Well, don't blame me.
It took Dee a goddamn hour to get dressed like a man.
Dee: Nah. Captain barnacle.
It's a great new character I'm working on. Argh!
Frank: Give me another worm, Charlie.
All right, coming up.
You want rum or julep? That's a rum one...
I'll take the rum one.
You guys brought worms in here?
Well, we kind of soaked them
in alcohol and you suck the alcohol off of them.
Ah! I ate mine.
You're gonna ruin this! How often do boat parties come
around and with hot mainline women? This is a classy event.
It took me hours to get us invited to this.
Oh-oh! There's the boat.
(Dennis groans)
Goddamn it! We missed it. Aw!
This is great! This is exactly
what I was worried about!
Great, guys. Way to go.
You know what? Screw it.
I'm going in.
What-what are you talking
talking about?
We're going in.
Not in the water?
Yes, we're going in the wa...
Look, guys, this car was built
for this, okay?
It's got air intake valves.
This is precision British land-
to-sea craftsmanship at work.
We're going in.
We're not missing that boat.
(Tires screech)
What have we become?
I mean, we have literally and
figuratively missed the boat.
I used to be a cool guy, right?
With a cool car hanging out all
the time.
And now I'm a... what am I?
I'm a chauffeur to a bunch of
worm-sucking idiots!
You? What about me?
I used to be a party boy who
banged chicks all the time.
You guys remember?
But no one was ever good enough
for you, dude.
So, I got self-conscious and
I stopped... because of you, I
changed who I am at my core!
Mac, Mac, that is not what
happened, okay?
You are completely delusional.
I mean, and by the way, all of
us have become so goddamn weird.
I think we're just hitting our stride.
Oh, you think we're "hitting our stride," frank, really?
Yeah!
'Cause Dee's in a goddamn
costume every other day.
As a matter of fact, we all are.
I think we have more costumes in
the bar than we do kegs.
I mean, what, what if I said I
wanted to become a man cheetah
right now, what would you do?
I'd go get the spots.
He's got spots!
Why do you have spots?
You shouldn't have spots.
That's absurd, man.
That's absurd. You know what?
I actually, I blame you for most of this.
Me?
Yeah, because you came in
here with your endless goddamn
supply of money and financed all
this bizarre behavior!
You were plenty weird before me.
What about the underage
drinking scheme?
I wasn't even here for that.
But that made sense, frank.
It worked.
You know what? I got to get
away from you people.
That's what it is.
I-i-i-i fly off the handle every
five seconds now.
You know what?
I got to get away from you
people... you're all insane.
I'm storming out!
What? Don't copy me!
I'm the one who's angry. Goddamn it!
You don't storm out on me. I storm out on you.
I'm the one who storms out! I'm the one who... oh, oh, oh!
Yeah, no, no. Okay. You know what? Yeah.
That's fine. Storm out. Get angry.
You guys be that guy 'cause I'm not gonna be that guy anymore.
I'm not gonna get angry and shit.
I'm gonna cool off.
I'm gonna go back to being what i was before.
A cool guy who just hangs out and has a cool car.
So, I'm not gonna storm out, but i am gonna leave.
I'm gonna... leave casually.
You want to get lunch?
Sure.
Yeah?
When was the last time, like, just you and me went out to eat?
It's been a while, right? By ourselves?
Yeah. I don't even know.
It's nice to go to a diner, too, you know?
Like, I like diners. Yes.
I appreciate a menu with pictures.
It makes it easier. It's like sometimes those
guys make me do things that aren't really me, you know?
Yeah. Like, okay, like, I kind of
feel compelled to call you a bird right now and throw my
glass of water in your face. Right.
But, uh, you know, I'm realizing that I only do that
stuff 'cause I don't want the
guys to do it to me first, you
know what I mean?
Of course I do.
You know what I was about to do?
Pretend that I had to go to the
bathroom and then I was gonna
sneak out the window and just
get out of here 'cause I was
afraid you were gonna do that to
me first.
Oh, right, right, right.
Isn't that weird?
I was, though. Oh.
Yeah, yeah. But again, I
think it was... 'Cause, like,
that's what the guys would've
done and...
It's the peer pressure thing
from those guys.
Right. Okay. Well, forget the
the guys today, right?
They're not here. So, um...
Yeah.
Like, what do you want to do?
Uh, let's see.
I'd like to order my food in a
German accent.
Right, right. Okay, cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Why?
I guess that's just... I put
all these expectations on myself
to be funny all the time.
You know? Because that's what
people have come to expect
from me.
But that's not fair.
It's too much pressure for me.
Yeah, right.
No, I don't think anyone
expects that at all.
Wait, what about you?
What do you want to do?
Okay, uh, well, I would like
to get a chicken sandwich, but,
uh, but I think I want to get
the beak on the side?
Mm.
Frank's always making me eat
it first and frankly I'd rather
it last if I'm gonna have to eat
it all...
Ooh, I can help you here.
Instead of eating it last, you
don't have to eat beak at all.
Oh!
Ready to order?
Ooh!
Yeah.
(German accent): Ja, vell,
uh, I vould like ze...
I'm sorry.
I would like a chicken sandwich,
please.
Okay. And you?
Beak!
No!
No.
Regular chicken sandwich.
That's it?
That's it for him.
Okay.
(Laughs)
You did it! You did it.
God, I really wanted to
say it!
I saw that you wanted to say
it badly.
Yeah, all right, well, this
is good.
This is great. This...
I'm very proud of you.
This is very good. All right.
Look at us! Cheers!
Yeah.
No beak.
Bob, I want to thank you for
answering my ad so quickly.
Well, I really needed a car
and I always wanted a range rover.
Yeah, well...
Hey, I got to tell you, though.
This is not just a car.
This is a lifestyle.
This is an Eddie Bauer edition.
Tortoise-shell interior,
super-charged twin cam, European
luxury sports utility vehicle,
my friend.
Wow!
Yeah! It's a classic, okay?
The only reason I'm giving her
up is 'cause I'm ready
to turn a page.
Yeah.
I'm thinking about getting an
alfa Romeo, what do you think?
Two seats... me and a babe.
You like babes, Bob?
Oh, yeah, sure!
Yeah! Who doesn't like babes?
Yeah, yeah. It's a wonderful machine.
I used it to traverse the plains
the serengeti of my life.
Now, I want that for you, Bob.
There she is.
I'm sorry.
Are you talking about the car in
the river?
Yeah. Well, it's an
amphibious exploring vehicle, so...
You-you think you can pull it out of the river?
No, no! What fun would that be, right?
That's not my job. That's your job.
I don't want to take that from you.
You're gonna love it. Yeah, right, but I just, I
didn't bring a change of clothes or anything.
That's not really my fault, is it?
Yeah, I got to say, uh, your
line of questioning's starting to, it's starting to annoy me.
Oh, no, I'm sorry. I just, you know, I thought I
was gonna see a car on land. You being cute right now?
No. Is that what's happening?
I'm not being cute. And no sale! How about that?
'Cause you don't deserve the car.
The car has spoken, I have spoken.
You obviously don't get what's
happening here.
So, be gone with you!
All right.
There's that anger coming up again.
I'm getting weird and arch.
But that's the gang's fault.
That-that's not me.
I'm fine, see? I'm...
I'm calm, man.
I'm cool as a cucumber.
It's all good. It's all good.
Talking to myself, but that's
just 'cause I, you know, I've
got shit to say, you know?
* uh-huh, this my shit
* all the girls stomp your feet like this... *
hey!
Hey, I'm Mac, former party boy.
Looking to get back into the
party-boy scene.
You want me to milk your
adrenal gland?
You'll go berserk.
Heh? No?
That's all right.
Ugly anyway.
You're gonna find that ass to crush.
* oh, Mac
* I still got the moves...
Forget it, frank.
You're acting like it's 2006.
Hey, listen, the hell with Dennis.
Don't let him screw up a good
thing that we got.
Come on, we'll start our own crew.
Beat it, jabroni.
Hey, look at that.
What?
Oh, that?
Is that what you want?
I can get you all that you want.
Maybe I've been thinking
about this all wrong.
You know, man?
Maybe I've been lying to myself
all these years.
Maybe that's what I need.
Well, we've always known that.
Party boy coming your way.
Guys, we did it.
We did it.
Opened a bar.
Hey, gang.
Frank.
Oh, hello.
I just parted ways with my
old crew, and I'm looking for
a new one.
I'm a financier... of fun things
like schemes and pranks and such.
You got anything?
You interested?
What?
Uh, what are you celebrating?
Uh, we-we just bought a bar together.
You just bought a bar?
That is fantastic.
That's perfect.
Next round's on me.
Uh, thank you.
Awesome.
Cheers!
You know, Mac and Dennis aren't here... they're not gonna
ridicule us... we get to just pick whatever we want to do.
Well, you know I like making music.
Yeah, and I like listening to
it, but it hasn't really ever
gotten us anywhere in the past,
so, well, what about poetry?
I like poetry, but only if
it's def.
Def poetry.
Yeah, like def poetry slams.
Those are awesome. Yeah.
I love that. What happened to that?
I don't know. Did people just stop thinking they were cool?
That's crazy. Black people don't do stuff that's not cool.
Yeah, so... He doesn't deserve the car,
and that's the plain and simple of it.
Are you crying? No, I wasn't...
It's humid outside, all right? That-that's why they're moist...
I don't have to explain myself to a worm-sucking idiot.
Dee, where's the computer?
I thought you were gonna try and control your rage.
This is irritation, okay?
There's a difference. And why are you irritated?
I'm irritated because I'm having trouble finding a proper
buyer for the range rover. I need to create a new ad to
attract an appropriate buyer, all right?
Not some asshole who's got a problem with the car
being in a river.
It's awesome that the car is in
a river.
I need someone who can see that.
Arrogance, vanity... all over.
He's underwater, like a range rover.
I'm sorry, what is this?
What are you doing?
Def poetry.
Don't do that.
Makeup... smearin'.
No power steerin'.
He be talkin', but we don't
be hearin'.
I command you to stop.
Speaks like Zeus.
Smells like poops.
Rage all over from his head
down to his shoes.
Zeus, poops and shoes?
Guys, you suck at def poetry.
You know what?
Announcement... I have an
announcement to make, all right?
Thank you for gathering for me.
I'm wearing a mesh shirt, and
it's totally sweet.
You guys probably want me to
burn it, but I won't, all right?
Now, I like this choice.
I like the choices I've made.
I like who I am, all right?
But I realize I've been lying to
myself over the past few years.
And I'm done lying, okay?
And I found someone who's gonna
allow me to be me.
Okay, good.
Oh, good, all right, yeah.
Great. Finally. Yes.
Let's do this.
That all makes sense.
Let's get this over with.
We're ready.
Let's talk about this.
Yeah. Yes! Guys, I'd like you
to meet the love of my life, dusty.
Come on in, dusty.
Why did I have to wait in
the hall?
Oh, I was doing a thing for
my friends.
No, no, no, dusty's a man.
Where is dusty?
No, dusty is a... woman.
Why would you think...?
Oh, because of the name.
No, no, she's called dusty
because she's really into angel dust.
I am super into angel dust.
Does she have a dick?
Why would you think she has
a dick?
Come on, what-what was that
whole speech about, then?
Oh, well, the last few years,
I've been settling for fives,
you know, and I've been giving
you the tens, okay?
But then I realized, you know
what, I can be a ten guy, too.
I saw a ten, I went after a ten,
and I got a ten.
Let's go, dusty.
We don't need these turkeys.
I'm gonna go slam ass.
I'm gonna go bang this chick.
What the hell is this?
Anger... bubbling like a pot.
Gettin' hot.
Gonna explode like a bomb
in a toad.
You mark my words.
If you decide to get into def
poetry, you are going to fail
and bomb and gag and fail and bomb.
It's... that's just... you know,
but I don't care, man.
That's cool.
Do whatever you want, man.
I-I'm a cool guy now, so... I'm
gonna grab this laptop, I'm
gonna go make a new ad for my
awesome range rover, which I'm
gonna sell, and then I'm gonna
get myself an alfa Romeo.
You know?
Just me and a babe.
So, you guys do whatever you want.
(Dusty moaning passionately)
Do you like it?
(Moaning continues)
(Laughter)
Why would you say that?
I'm just kidding.
Guys, guys, guys, I got news.
I got terrible news.
Wait, dude, do I...?
Oh, oh, yeah. Hey.
You're the... you're that guy
from the other night.
I didn't... I didn't recognize
you without the hairpiece.
This is awful.
There's a Jew trying to buy us
out of everything.
You want to get him back?
What are you... what are you
talking about?
I don't know.
W-well, I'm not usually the idea
man; I'm the money man.
Okay, don't worry about it.
What we'll do is we'll have a
beer, and then we'll come up
with something.
Okay. You know, we really
appreciated the drinks the other
night, but we... we've got to
get to work.
You got to get a ferret down
in the basement, because Charlie
says ferrets scare the shit out
of rats.
What are you talking about?
What is... what is... who...
Who is Charlie?
You're Charlie.
No, you're too tall.
By any chance, do you have
homosexual tendencies?
You... you could be Dee, but
you're smaller.
You got a better body, I think.
You... I don't know... I don't
know who the hell you are,
'cause we didn't have a black.
Sir, you got to get out of
here.
Oh. Oh, I get it.
I get it.
I got to prove myself, right?
Okay, I get it.
I'm gonna get to work, and I'll
make it really happen, and this
is so exciting.
You guys, this is gonna be
great.
Our thinking: Clear.
Our rhymes: No fear.
Our words, our passion that
flows like beer.
Misery!
Chains.
Thunder.
Rain.
We're chasing the dragon.
We're chasing our pain.
Now, stop, breathe.
Unbroken.
You're free.
(Both sigh deeply)
Shit, that's def. That's super def right there.
Oh, shit, that was the deffest.
Hey, here's a crazy idea.
Hmm? Why don't we run out, go to
an open-mic night, like, right now? >> Right now?
Yeah, Dee. I'm scared.
No, I know, but look, without Mac and Dennis, like, constantly
coming down on us, you're not gonna bomb.
You're gonna do great.
You know, i-i just feel like I'm feeling something.
I'm totally feeling it.
Something, like, crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I guess we make a really good... Make a really good team.
We do make a really good team.
You're calming me down, and
we're good at this together.
Cool, cool. All right.
Let's do it. That's great.
Let's go to it.
(Both chuckle)
Oh, shit. Whoops!
(Both laugh)
(Both groan goofily)
(Both laugh)
Just kidding. Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
*
Great crowd, huh?
Yeah, big night!
Hey-o!
Beer me.
What a crowd, huh?
Oh. Hi.
Uh, yeah.
It's-it's good.
It's busy.
You're welcome.
Wait, you brought all these people here?
I bought them all fake I.D.S. Huh?
Yeah. These are all underage
kids... tweens and such.
I never got to do that scheme.
Why? Why-why would you do this?
I don't know why they did it.
They must've had a good reason.
Oh, also, I let a ferret loose
in here and called the health inspector.
What?! Why?!
So you could do the thing,
you know... snap to.
You better do it quick, too.
That kid looks sick as hell.
Excuse me.
Hi.
You guys selling the car?
Uh, yeah. Yes. (Clears throat) Hi.
Hi. Yeah, I, uh, might like to buy it.
What do you want for it?
Well, I was thinking somewhere in the ballpark of the
original price, but, uh...
Considering the circumstances,
I'm open to a reasonable discussion.
All right.
I mean, it is an amphibious
exploring vehicle, so it should
be fine, right?
Yes.
Yes, absolutely.
It's nice to talk to a reasonable man.
(Chuckles)
Now, are you a sportsman? Because you look very fit.
Oh, I ski. You ski?
Oh, excellent.
Love skiing.
Yeah. Do you travel a lot?
For work, yeah.
Europe? Eastern Europe?
Ah, all over, really.
And I assume you'll be taking
the car with you on these trips?
Me? Oh, no. No, no, no.
I'm-I'm looking for something
for my daughter.
Your daughter? Yeah.
You know, safe, slow vehicle.
Good starter car.
Starter car. That's right.
Mm.
I have contained my rage for
as long as possible, but I shall
unleash my fury upon you like
the crossing of a thousand waves!
Begone, vile man!
Begone from me!
A starter car?!
This car is a finisher car!
A transporter of gods!
The golden god!
I am untethered and my rage
knows no bounds!
Well, we're gonna figure this out.
I know.
We're gonna, we're gonna...
Hey! What's up, bitches?
I'm a man cheetah.
You want to do something with this?
(Roars)
We lost it.
(Crying): We lost our bar.
Huh?
Yeah. The health inspector
called the police, man.
The control board pulled our
liquor license.
And we got a $75,000 fine for
serving minors.
Well, uh, the other crew
always had something up their sleeve.
I got an idea.
We don't want to hear your ideas.
This is all your fault.
No... well, wait, Kelly.
Maybe he can help us.
It sounds like he's used to this
kind of thing.
Really?
Yeah, that-that's true.
He got us into this mess.
Maybe he can get us out of it.
Okay, old man.
What's your plan?
What?
(Crying)
Can I, um...?
What? No.
There's a beer I want to... Oh.
So, you know, just... all right? >> Yeah, I'm s... sorry.
Okay. Do you want one, or...? No. I... don't.
All right. Good. No.
(Charlie chuckles)
Is it cold in here?
I'm not a thermostat, so...
Okay. I'm sorry. Okay, all right, all right,
listen... I want things to go back to normal, okay?
I don't like the way things have become, and I want them to go
back to the way they were.
Listen up. I want things to go back to normal.
I don't like the way things are going.
I want 'em to go back to normal.
What the hell are you doing, man?
I'm storming in. I was storming in...
What, are you a man cheetah? Yeah.
Cool. You like it?
Yes. All right. Good.
All right, come on, let's... I can't do this anymore.
That last crew sucked on ice.
Okay, look, I like the man cheetah thing.
I want to go back to doing shit like this.
Are you guys on board?
I want to go back to the way things were.
Oh, yeah, I mean, we definitely...
Definitely want things to be normal again.
We should go back in time. Can we go way back in time?
Can we go back a lot? Okay, did you bomb and fail
and bomb, just like I knew you would?
He did. He did. Oh, yes, yeah, that's all
that happened, and nothing else happened other than that.
There was a poetry thing. It was bad.
It was really bad poetry, and... shut up, bird!
You shut up! You can't read!
(Laughter)
Okay, this is good, all
right. Yeah, yeah. (Roaring)
Yeah, hey.
Okay, this is good, this is
good. So we're all in agreement?
Frank, pay to get my car out of the river.
Yes. Done. All right.
(Dusty moaning passionately)
Aah, shit, that's starting again.
Right, yeah, you know what?
Mac's not gonna want to go back to normal.
He's been banging that hot chick in the back office all day.
No, I don't like this, okay?
It's unnatural, and I won't have it.
I'm putting an end to this right
now... we're going back to normal, yeah?
Yeah, you like it?
You know what...? (Moaning stops)
What the hell's going on in here? What is this?
Oh, we totally just banged or whatever.
You're fully clothed, Mac.
Have you been pretending to bang
this chick the entire time?
No.
He can't even get it up with me.
Well, that's because she's not even that hot. Like...
She's very hot. What?!
Huh?! She's beautiful. She's hot.
I don't know. I'm, like, not even feeling that, you know?
Can I get my angel dust now?
Oh.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Oh.
(Dennis scoffs)
Okay.
Jesus Christ, dude. Come on.
Come on, buddy. You don't have to... >> No.
Wow. All right, you know what, guys?
Listen, it's fine, it's all good, Mac, okay?
Do you want to go back to the way things where, where we don't
ask questions, you just go about
your business?
Yeah. Done.
Okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Ah! I was hoping this day would come.
I saved a special surprise for us.
Is he a man cheetah?
Yeah. Awesome. It's really cool.
Who wants rum ham? All (Chanting): Rum ham...
