If one can.

Yes, always knew you had it in you.

Just needed balls.

- I used to think, "Where's his balls?"

- You did?

You know I'm coming to that game.

I'm there, and I love you, buddy.

I just love these slow wind sprints,

don't you?

- Hi.

- Hi.

Are you from Architectural Digest?

Because you seem to be

obsessed with my house.

I was just coming over...

Listen, do you have

the history assignment?

I do.

Do you still need it?

Because there's a rumor going around

that you turned into a jock.

I assume you'll turn back

into a pumpkin at midnight though.

Probably. I'm in.

Seems weird.

No, it's not weird.

You realize I need to

see your brain now.

Really? I'd be honored.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, sure.

Music?

- You got any Pilgrim?

- Of course.

My mom is dead, if you were wondering.

She had a cerebral hemorrhage

which is a bit like an IED in your brain.

She was standing in line at

The Cheesecake Factory one day

and boom.

Where were you?

Standing in line

at The Cheesecake Factory.

My dad really took it hard.

They were really in love.

Not like most people

who say they're in love

but then really never see each other.

They were loyal and tight and...

Like they saw each other brighter

than anything else in the whole world.

He mostly works now.

My neighbor killed people for the CIA.

Really?

I would love to see his brain.

What's he like?

He's strange.

He wears, like, really funny clothes

and he has all these tattoos

but not, like, hipster tattoos.

He has tattoos that I'm pretty sure he

got in a Russian prison.

I actually really like him.

But I found out that he killed 93 people.

Lot of blood on two little hands.

Who said that?

Me.

Really? Sounded like you were quoting.

Yeah, well, I do that sometimes.

So people will put my sayings

out into the lexicon,

- thereby rendering me...

- Immortal?

Exactly.

You're pretty strange.

How so?

All right, well.

Guess... Guess that's it.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Sign here. Just kidding.

All right.

Bye.

You're not coming to practice tomorrow.

You get that?

Hey.

Howdy?

Let's go.

Where are we going?

He died for this.

You okay? What are you...

- You gonna buy something?

- Let's just get out of here.

Somebody's really chatty today,

isn't he?

Would you like an ice cream

or something?

What? No.

Let's go.

Is this a cassette?

I've literally never seen a cassette

before. I've only heard about it.

Does it work?

Left here.

Who's Peter Frampton?

Slow down. Right here.

- Can I know where we're going?

- To visit a friend.

What're you doing, really?

You're gonna see a girl?

- No.

- Did you get all dressed up for her?

- I won't be long.

- It's a nice vest. You look nice.
