SCOTT:

He said "Entschuldiging, Junge."

GARY:

What's that mean? "Suck my dick?"

Does he want to suck my dick?

SCOTT:

It means, "Excuse me, boys."

GARY:

How the f*** do you know.

SCOTT:

I've studied German, in prep

school.

GARY:

You know, Scottie, I don't know

when to believe you.

SCOTT:

Here he comes again.

THE MAN leans out the window of his car.

MAN:

HELLO?

Gary leans into the man's car.

GARY:

Hey, dude.

MAN:

(speaks with a thick German

accent)

Excuse me. Can I speak to the young

man over there, with the blond hair,

ya?

GARY:

Who, that kid there? You can't

talk with him now, he's asleep.

MAN:

Can you wake him up?

GARY:

No, you can't wake him... he......

but, what about me? Don't you want

to talk with me?

The man is not interested in talking to Gary. He shakes his head

no, bothered by Gary.

SCOTT:

(speaking fluent German)

Was willist du in Gottesname mit uns

Juenge? Mach' es flar oder fanre

ab!

(What in the hell do you want with

us young kids, be specific or get

out.)
