Mine licks me for half an|hour before f***ing...

...from behind.|Do you let him? Doesn't it hurt?

In the beginning, yes. After that it|is perfect! But you need a banana.

- Why?|- You're losing the best part, kid!

You warm up a banana|and stick it in your p*ssy!

while he fucks you in the ass.|It is awesome!

- Ask your husband.|- I can't. He will get mad

I will cut his balls!

Fish! Fresh fish!

Kid, come here.

- Where is your brother?|- Not working today.

- Get in.|- I did nothing.

- What about my fish?|- Get in. Forget the fish.

My father will kill me.

Let's go. There is nothing here.

- I can see you got money.|- It's ours, Benny.

Tell Hairy that|Shortie is getting difficult. I'm leaving.

A neighbour called the cops|before sunrise.

The newspapers wrote:

Do as I tell you...

And show some respect to the lady.

- Let's go.|- There are cops ahead.

What's the matter?

Mercy. It is a piece of crap.

- Start the engine!|- It needs pushing.

Push, Hairy.|Push!

You?

Do you want to arrest|the thieves? There's one...

Get him!

Run, Hairy!|Stop!

He's a murderer!

The day that Hairy|was killed...

I remember the crowd|and a camera.

I always wanted a camera.

Let's go to school.

- Why don't we go to the beach?|- We have exams!

So what!|Everybody is on the beach!

She wears a bikini|and plays hard to get!

Sun is for everyone.|Beach for a few.

IN THE 70's

When I was 16 I bought|my first camera.

Starting from the bottom.|The cheapest model!

How is it going, Rocket?|Have you been laid yet?

Nothing.

Oh, Angelica. She drove me mad...

Rocket, are you jerking?

Gorgeous and had got laid.|I wanted to lose my virginity with her!
