He blogged, "Soccer's...

soccer's chess on a field. "

Do you have a vomit

bag... vomit bags on you?

I'll send you the link.

I guess we could just... I'd

hate to throw up on a grave.

Why didn't you just go to

the Griffith Park Observatory

then to watch the meteor shower?

Oh, they have a**holes

there too. Trust me.

There're a**holes all over the city

But rarely do you get to be

next to one so spectacular.

The only knock on him though, I have

to say, is that he's from New York.

I can't stand that place.

Seriously. It's so overrated.

Why? Because of all the bridges and

the culture and the history they have?

Who needs it? I'll take Orlando any day.

They got so many more T.G.I. Fridays.

Do I love L.A.? You know, Los

Angeles is just more modern.

It has a certain relevancy about it

New York just doesn't have anymore.

Kimberly, I was wondering

if I could have your number?

- What?

- Your phone number?

Dude... she's with me.

No.

- Uh, yeah, she is.

- No, she's not.

Not yet anyway. At best,

this is a first date.

And I'm shocked that that even happened.

I have nothing against you.

You might not be a bad guy.

Most likely you are but maybe

not. You're incredibly handsome

and you were probably very

handsome when you were a kid, too.

I think that explains your lack

of substance and personality.

Only because nobody's ever

really challenged you before.

So now as an adult you

think everything you say

means something, but it

means nothing actually.

You don't know what

you're talking about.

And it's really upsetting. And I

think she probably sees through that.

You're very pretty, but

you're shallow beyond belief.

Anyway, can I have your number?

- Okay, okay.

- What are you doing?

You just said all that sh*t.

Yeah, but it was just an observation.

And you ask my girl out in front of me?

Oh, sh*t. Sorry, my mistake.

I see that now. I shouldn't have

done that. She's way too beautiful.

What?

No. I just should be more of a realist.

I should know that

I'm a C, maybe a C plus

in the winter time when I

can cover up my body more.

And even though you're a douche bag,

you're still incredibly attractive.

So maybe it's only fair you two pair.

- What? It rhymed.

- She's right, it rhymed.

Let's... Can you just put me down?

This is embarrassing now for everyone.

Okay. Come on, Josh. The line's moving.

Let's... Let's just go. Come on.

- Oh, yeah...

Gotta get a good seat.

The only thing wrong with you

is you're chicken sh*t. That's all.

- That's not the only problem.

- Let's go. Excuse me.

- Excuse me.

- One of many.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

I shouldn't have talked.

That's when I get into trouble.

I'm sorry I made fun of your
