Right now.

What kind of dumbass are you,

asking random girls

to go to Kansas with you?

I don't know. It's a f***ing job...

You know what I mean?

This is a job, prop job...

I can't even talk, man. You see?

- What kind of job?

- It's a job, a business opportunity.

Okay.

We go door-to-door. We sell magazines

door-to-door, being friendly.

You know, you seem friendly.

You make $300 a day if you're good.

If you're smart. You seem pretty smart,

so figured I'd ask.

Hmm? Come with us.

You can't just give me a job like that.

Yes, I f***ing can.

I'm a business manager.

[CHUCKLES] Is that why

you're wearing those pants?

[LAUGHS]

What the f***'s wrong with my pants?

You don't like my pants?

I don't know. You kinda look a little...

Donald Trump-ish?

You kinda look more like a gangster to me.

- Really?

- Except for the sparkly phone.

- That's part of it.

- Hmm.

Come with us.

We do more than work, you know.

We explore, like, America. We party.

A whole bunch of sh*t. It's cool.

Come on, Jake.
