I dig my heels and stand my ground

'Til reason can be found

But when I'm faced with possibly

Not having you around

I'll do my best to work it out

I'll puff my chest,

I'll scream and shout

You

Suck

But in the most distracting way,

you're beautiful

I love you 'til my dying day

I get excited by the thought of you

it brightens up my day

So you suck but

in the most distracting way

I said you suck,

because you take my breath away

Randy.

Randy.

Randy.

- See y'all Sunday.

- Catch you later, Romeo.

Wherefore art thou!

- Later, guys.

- Bye y'all.

F*** off.

She was dead?

I swear it looked so real.

What does it mean, Crystal?

Why do I keep having these,

I don't know what they are, visions?

Or premonitions?

What are you saying?

She's saying you got the shining, dude.

Maybe it has something to do with

- you being, you know.

- Uh, oh.

With me being what?

You know.

No really, what?

Yeah right, not even.

Randy.

We're your friends, you can trust us.

Crystal, I'm not gay.

How do you know?

What kind of question is that?

You're still a virgin, right?

So are you.

Yeah, don't remind me.

So how do you know you're not gay?

Because when I masturbate,

I think about boys.

Crystal!

Just like you.

Crystal, for gosh sakes.

Randy, who do you think about?

- That's none of your...

- I think we know.

Oh, do we?

Dude, I think everyone knows.

Oh, do they?

Yeah, I mean, you heard Todd.

For gosh sakes.

Everyone thinks we're all gay anyway.

That's not about me, that's about you.

Me?

Okay, right.

See, you and your smart mouth.

Acting all bitchy.

I'm not like you.

I'm in the choir.

Now, that's butch.

Almost as butch

as you staring into Todd's

eyes singing love duets

in front of the entire school.

I was singing to both of them.

Jerking off to the both of them?

See, you're a b*tch.

What about you, Efrem?

Are you gay?

God, I hope so.

What else am I going to do

with all these Lady Gaga CDs?

But you're a skateboarder.

I know, right?

Isn't it fabulous?

Efrem, it's a sin.

And so's lying.

Give in to yourself.

- Randy.

- Don't touch me.

Dude, it's okay, she's a girl.

Both of you can go to hell.

Okay, see you there!

Efrem.

What do you want?

To see you.

You can see me at home.

Well, I think your mom may have

something to say about that.

Mom doesn't have much to say

since you lit out on her.

She didn't have too much

to say before I left neither.

Well sorry if losing her only daughter

took some of her attention off of you.

Randy, come on man,

we went over all this.

So, what are you doing here?

Why aren't you somewhere out there

looking for your daughter?

You don't think I've looked?
