Is that all?

You pee your pants?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey.

You're mad at me?

Come on.

It was for fun.

You were supposed

to shoot me back.

You know,

i give you the gun,

and so you

shoot me back.

It's like

a water fight.

They don't have this

in America?

They do.

Ok, so you don't

need to be mad at me.

Look, you and your friends

just like to f*** with me.

I get it.

Just a bunch

of German d*ckheads.

I'm not gonna sweat it.

"German d*ckheads."

I like this.

So we are friends?

We are not friends.

Yes, I will show you

that we are friends.

How?

I don't know.

What do you want?

Do you have a boom box?

I don't know

what this is.

Something to play...

This?

Ah, yes.

Come in.

Sit down.

That's my dad.

No. Your dad

is a rapper?

No, not now,

but I guess

he used to for fun.

Nah. Those are

not his rhymes.

That's biggie.

He's just--

he's just rapping

somebody else's sh*t.

Can you rap?

Can I rap?

Come on.

Quit sleeping on me.

I got sick flow,

freestyle sh*t.

Know what I'm saying?

Not at all.

I'll show you sometime.

I don't really

listen to rap.

Who do you listen to?

Like techno

and electro swing.

I like to dance,

you know?

I hear black people

are good dancers.

Is this true?

Well, I don't really dance.

You don't dance,

and you don't

play basketball?

So none

of the sayings

are true.

Do you have

a big dick?

What?

Is your dick big?

I don't know.

Like this?

Katrin!

Hallo.

I should go.

Don't worry about her.

No. I really should go.

Ahh!

What you doing up

early on a Saturday?

Just woke up.

I feel that.

What you

want to do today?

It is

beautiful outside.

I'm going

to the youth center.

What? For what?

Hang out with my friends.

Aw, friends?

Look at you.

Boy, you're making 'em

faster than I am.

Hanging out with friends.

Going to parties.

Slinging that

big ol' dick around.

I see how it is.

Why you gotta talk

about my dick, dad?

'Cause if that thing

gets any bigger,

I'm gonna start

charging it rent.

That's why.

For real, though, what time

you going over there?

You wanna see a movie

or something first?

I'm going right after

i finish this.

Well, sh*t, man.

What am I supposed to do?

You wanna drive me?

Morris.

Well, one of

the younger kids

found something

in the back woods

and brought it to me.

Marijuana.

So?

Is it yours?

No.

Did you give it to any

of the other kids?

Man, why don't you ask

the other kids?

Ok.

A**hole.

Hey.

Hey.

Yo, big Mac!

You have a talent?

He can rap,

freestyle sh*t.

Rapper?

Ok.

I'm not doing

that talent show.

Why?

I don't want to.

Are you scared?

Nah.

I just don't have anything

to prove to these people.

German d*ckheads.
