I made pudding.

Shh.

Do you really think

your sister would care

if I used the front door?

It's a school night.

Whose crappy suburban?

Some guy who's renting

the living room.

- Cute?

- Old.

Hey.

- Hi.

- Hey.

Are you good?

Are you comfortable?

Yeah.

Yeah, this is great.

'Cause, you know...

my bed is a little bit

more comfortable, like...

Yeah, I was thinking

that maybe we shouldn't,

you know, anymore,

being that

we're roommates now.

Oh, yeah, okay.

Totally.

You know,

what do they say?

Like, "Don't eat

where you sh*t."

I think it's,

"Don't sh*t where you..."

Okay.

Okay, um... good night.

- Good night.

- Sleep well.

Don't eat where you sh*t.

F***ing idiot.

"My house is as cold

as the Atlantic Ocean.

"These people, my parents,

are so blind in their motion.

"Thy can't there be

some kind of magic potion

that could bring them back

to the land of emotion?"

Oh, my god.

You are, like, amazing.

Thanks.

Now let's hear yours.

Come on.

Not after that.

No way.

Lucy.

"My mother told me

'Let's play hide and seek.

"You hide, I'll count to 10.'

"I hid under the sink.

"I counted to seven.

"I could not remember

what number came next,

so she never looked for me."

It doesn't rhyme

or have any pentameter.

I know.

It sucks.

Hey, come on.

It doesn't suck.

You'll get the hang of it.

Thanks.

I better go.

No. Why?

Don't go.

My mom's gonna wake me up

for school in a few hours.

You should sleep over

sometime.

There's no way my mom

would let me sleep here.

There's another one.

A suplex.

AJ on top of Jerry.

Going right back to it.

What's up?

This sh*t is funny.

Hey, man, you want a beer?

I don't drink.

No?

What, that bother you?

Can't stand a guy

who doesn't drink?

Not cool, huh?

No, I don't care.

Of course you don't.

Nobody does.

You're an outcast if you don't

do that stuff, you know.

High school,

I was like this... this outcast.

People like you

making me an outcast.

I can't move my neck.

I hated high school.

You're a horrible bike rider.

Do you have more of these?

That's my last one,

but...

my brother knows a dealer.

Are you gonna go

to fifth period?

I can't do math today.

Want to go to the mall?

Five-finger discount.

And you try to tell

how you feel about it.

You find that, out of all

the words in the world,

there are only...

Who would watch this?

Hey! That's fine!

That's a very pretty speech.

Want me to get that?

I got it.

- Hello?

- Now I want to make a speech.

Gentlemen of the Academy

and...

What a loser.

Can't believe

she got caught shoplifting.

Save-mart?

Pathetic.

So you're a bum, huh?

Sort of.

Well, Amy doesn't need

any more bums.
