(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Hey, April.

Hey, Teddy. Oh!

You all right there?

The chair's broken.

(HAMMERING CONTINUES)

Do you need a light?

Sure.

Thanks.

Would you mind your own business?

These are my stepbrother's.

Not like they're f***ing working anyway.

(CHUCKLES)

This party sucks.

Do you wanna go over

to the graves for a bit?

Yeah.

Do you wanna come?

Sure.

(SNORTS)

Never have I ever

had a lesbianic experience.

I've never been in love.

I think it's bullshit.

(ALL LAUGHING)

FRED:
I stole

your lamp shade.

APRIL:
Oh, my God.

I'm gonna fall.

(SCREAMS)

APRIL:
Oh, my God!

(CHUCKLES) Ah, I got you guys.

It's uncool dude,

there could be ghosts around here.

Jesus.

Don't even say that.

Hey, you guys remember that kid in

eighth grade who suicided himself?

Yeah, that's...

I remember that.

The Asian kid?

Yeah.

Why do you think

he killed himself?

He's buried here.

I think he killed himself because he

was Asian. I think it's pretty obvious.

What does that even mean?

It means his parents

pressured the sh*t out of him

because he was Asian, duh?

I don't think that's true.

I don't really think you know any

better than me, so no point talking.

Okay.

You got it.

Oh, sh*t!

Whoo!

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Stop!

My parents

are gonna f***ing flip.

Wow.

It's kind of hard.

That's what she said.

It's cool looking.

FRED:
Ted, check this out.

(CHUCKLES)

Be careful.

Do you think it hurts

shooting yourself?

Probably for a second.

But, er,

I think pain only hurts if it's prolonged.

If I was going to kill myself,

I'd kill a bunch of other people and take

'em down with me.

I wouldn't waste it.

Why wouldn't you do like a bunch

of really crazy good things

you know, like help people

or save kids or something.

I think when you're suicidal, though, you're

probably only thinking about yourself.

I don't know.

I try to be good.

F*** good, guys.

(CHUCKLES) F*** good.

Live the dangerous life.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Where have you been?

Listen. I asked Tyler

if he'd go out with me.

And either he

didn't hear me or he...

I don't know why he would...

(INDISTINCT SHOUTS)

(CHEERING)

Whoo!

TEDDY:
Where'd April go?

FRED:
Are you still hung up on April, dude?

Get over it.

Be strong.

Be strong.

(LAUGHTER IN THE DISTANCE)

GIRL:
Bye!

(EXHALES)

You okay?

Shut up.

(GROANS)

Did you get it all out?

(SPITS) Shut up.

Do you want some water?

Mouthwash.

Okay, come on.

It's in the bathroom.

(PIANO PLAYS)

Oh, yeah!

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

And the boring days

are like clockwork

What's up, April?

How you doing?

Good.

Nice.

I like your skirt or dress,

I don't know what it is.
