at night, in a thunder storm,

without a helmet.

I heard his cock

was 10-inches long.

Eleven, idiot.

I heard he burned down

an ice-cream shop

for putting sprinkles

on his cone.

Hunter Strawberry

does not like sprinkles.

BOY:
But there was

that one thing

everyone could agree on.

I heard he killed a man.

BOTH:
I heard he killed a man.

I heard he killed a man.

F***in' killed him.

BOY:
But at the end

of the night,

everyone had gone home,

we're still just a townie.

And he knew that's all

they'd ever see in us.

He sold weed

to this guy yesterday.

And banged his daughter

the night before.

But, you see,

that's the thing.

In public, they all look

the other way.

Nobody was proud

that they knew him.

RADIO ANNOUNCER:

Mainly clear skies today.

It hit 90 in Boston.

Tenth time that's happened

so far this summer season.

And it's still toasty

in the late afternoon hours...

Drink's free.

The heat.

HUNTER:
You get high?

(SNORTING)

HUNTER:
What happened to Adam?

- What's your name again?

- Uh, Daniel.

Dan. Well, my mom...

I'm gonna call you Danny.

- Danny. Okay.

- Yeah.

Danny? Why Danny?

'Cause it's cool.

Take that. (SNIFFS)

Yeah, yeah.

(MATCHSTICK STRIKES)

(BUBBLING)

NARRATOR:
(ON TV) Marijuana.

Derived from the hemp plant.

It inhibits

and distorts the action

of the brain

and nervous system

in a manner somewhat different

from opium.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(THUD)

(SOFTLY) Oh, my God.

WOMAN:
Honestly, f*** you.

Yeah. F*** you!

BOY:
She was the biggest fox

in 50 miles.

Most kids I know

would've chopped off a nut

just to touch her hair.

Phil Lambert once stole

a pair of her underwear

from the girls' locker room.

And he has the picture

to prove it.

I mean, like,

every boy in town

used to jerk it to her.

I know I did.

Still do.

Before he and his prom date

were killed by a drunk driver

on the Mass Pike,

Ricky Worrel

swore on his mother

he saw her naked once.

He said if you rode your bike

past her house

at just the right time,

you could steal a look

in her bedroom window.

He promised everyone she had

a mole on her left tit

which, if true,

would be the closest thing

to an imperfection

ever documented about her.

Too bad he was alone,

no one could back him up.

That Bazooka Joe

would be the closest

he ever came to kissing her.

He kept that piece of gum
