In gay men, the pointer finger

is almost always longer than the ring finger.

And in straight men, the ring finger

is almost always longer

than the pointer finger.

That sounds like some bullshit to me.

Look.

Your pointer finger is longer,

and so is mine.

I'm not buying it.

[CHUCKLES]

[LAUGHS]

[WHISTLING]

Hello?

Mom?

I didn't know you have a little brother.

I don't.

- MAN:
Whose room is this?

- Mine.

Uh, I stashed this here for

a rainy day when I was, like, 12.

One stale joint?

Wow. Great.

Let's go.

[GIRL LAUGHS]

[BOTH CHATTERING]

What is he doing here?

I thought you were at the beach.

- I was.

- Tell him to go home.

No. What are they doing in there?

- It's none of your business.

- Are you high?

No. Get that guy out of here.

F*** off! Stop it.

- Yo, get his clothes.

- BOY:
What the f***?

- Get off of me!

- Let's see how small his dick is, huh?

- Yeah, take his clothes.

- GIRL:
Let go of him!

Get off of me!

These belong to you?

Yeah, yeah, I'm, uh,

I'm buying them back, though.

- You wanna pawn it?

- Yeah.

- I'll give you $200.

- $200?

Yeah, $200. Take it or leave it.

All right.

[ALEXEI SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

[BOTH SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

- What do you want?

- Vodka Red Bull.

Excuse me, can we order some drinks?

Hello?

What would you like?

Uh, two vodka Red Bulls.

- On the house.

- Thank you.

Pretty girls drink for free.

No, I got this. How much?

Why argue? It's on the house.

- Because I got it.

- I know, but it's free.

It's on the house.

Did you, uh, make friends with the bartender?

No, it's a mistake.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

# One, two, three, blow #

[CHOKING]

You okay?

Don't follow me.

Let me look at you.

[DOOR SLAMS]

I'm freezing.

Are you on drugs?

Right now? Yeah.

I'm fine.

What drugs are you on?

Good ones. The best.

Do you need help?

No, I feel so f***ing good right now.

I just wish I felt this way all the time.

You can't live here and act this way.

- Yes, I can.

- No, you can't.

Why can't you just let me be?

[FOOTSTEPS DESCENDING]

Hey, I just wanted to check

on that stuff I brought in.

Here, just to let you know

I'm coming back for it.

You got 60 days.

Sixty days?

Fifty-nine left.

Hey.

I can't talk now.

Please, let's just talk. It's important.

- I have a job and stuff.

- Please.

I don't think we should see each other.

Why not?

It's kind of like this.

You're a fixer-upper.

What does that mean?

It means you need a lot of work.

So, you don't wanna see me anymore?

I need newly renovated.

Okay.

- I'm sorry.

- I don't care.

Excuse me, can you refill this?

There is no refills.

What do you mean? There's two left on there.

It does not work.
