All right, there has to be a mistake.

There's definitely two refills left on there.

No mistake. I cannot do anything.

You need to check the insurance.

- Okay, thank you.

- Sorry.

Hello.

- Yo.

- How's it going?

Bored as f***.

Me too.

What are you doing later?

Nothing.

Uh, you smoke?

I have really good weed.

It's from Colorado.

Okay.

Where are you?

Uh, Z and 21st.

- There's an Avenue Z?

- Yeah.

It's like the other side of the galaxy.

Yeah.

But like...

will you make it worth my while?

Yeah.

Cool.

What are you a**holes doing?

MAN:
Waiting on you.

I have plans, sorry.

I thought that girl dumped you.

Yo, keep her name out of your mouth.

Let me bump a cig.

All right.

Yo, we getting something?

You know I can't function right.

I found something online, but...

Yo, you holding out on us?

Let me ask you all something.

How do you feel about

getting high with a gay guy?

The f*** do you mean, bro?

Like, sometimes I can't find anything,

so I go online and meet up with guys

who, uh, have weed.

And then what happens?

I pretend I'm gay and I smoke their weed.

What do you do when they try to hit on you?

They already tried to hit on him, stupid.

What do you think I do?

Yo, does he have enough for everybody?

I don't know. I'll ask him.

All right, we'll come with you, then.

All right.

All right.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[WHINNIES]

Don't forget to act gay.

- Hey there.

- Hi.

How's it going?

- Good with you here.

- Yeah, you get here okay?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, um...

thanks so much for coming

all the way out here.

It's cool.

[CHUCKLES]

Sorry, but I ran into a bunch of friends

- on the way over here.

- Are you ditching me?

No, no, no, they wanna hang with us.

Hey, what's your name?

Jeremy.

Jeremy. Cool. So, we getting high?

Um, can I talk to you for a second?

Why you being so unfriendly?

They just wanna party with us.

I'm sorry, I'm not into this.

Hey, come on. Yo, stay.

- [KNOCKING]

- Please stay.

MAN:
Yo, you got played. We all got played.

What happened? He wasn't attracted to you?

I guess he wasn't attracted to us.

Yo, what's plan B?

Let's find another guy.

[ALL SNICKERING]

Yo, if you want it,

you have to be serious, okay?

MAN:
Hey.

Yo.

What's up?

Chilling.

Good. Good. You look good.

Thanks. So, where you from?

Jersey, what about you?

Brooklyn.

Yeah? All right.

- Are you tight?

- What?

I got a big cock.

Nah, nah, nah, nah. Change, change, change.

Yo, yo, yo, you gotta be joking, bro.

Turn this sh*t off, like...

I'm telling you, I can get it.

You just gotta control yourselves.

[DOOR OPENS]

Let me do this. All right?

Mom said you've gotta get

your friends out of here.

These guys? No, they're not my friends.
