Let's go to the pool.

You know, I've got

to tell you, I'm only on page 37,

but so far, I totally get

what you're saying about this guy.

I feel like it's written

about me or something.

It's kind of haunting.

You know what I think?

I think we need to get out of here

and have ourselves a drinky.

True or false...

you want to meet some women

on this trip, right?

I mean, true, but it's not the most

important thing in the world to me.

I mean, just sitting here

by the pool with you

is probably the most exciting thing

I've done all year.

Right. That's all the more reason

why we should keep pushing forward.

Look, see for yourself.

There's a very interesting thing

going on down the beach over there.

They're all old people.

Exactly, Marshall.

They're gonna love you.

It looks like a blast, man.

It's just...

I don't know if I'm ready to dive

into a stressful social situation

like that right now, you know?

That's the whole point

of the trip, Marshall.

We got to do this

for ourselves, for you.

This is your coming-out party.

Well, I guess we could stop by

for a minute,

but I can't exactly go over there

in my swim trunks, now, can I?

No. But you brought a suit, right?

Well, yeah, you told me

to bring one just in case,

but I'd have to sticky-roll it.

Well, sticky-roll that thing

and blow this joint.

Why are we

sneaking around like this?

We're not sneaking around.

We're being mysterious.

Look, Marshall, it's sunny out.

I still don't get what I'm supposed

to say to these people.

You just pretend like you fit in,

and you'll be fine.

It'll be like the time we went

to the Harmony Club

and took steam showers

with all those old guys.

They didn't question us, did they?

We just need to find somebody

who can help us get acclimated

to the party, you know,

ease into it a little bit.

Then when the time is right,

we'll peacock ourselves around

and show ourselves off

to some of these older women,

you know what I mean?

By the way, feel free

to make sh*t up about yourself,

like a job or something.

This guy's perfect.

Hey, excuse me.

Ahoy, amigo!

He seems kind of strange.

Let's go.

Wait, don't go anywhere.

Is there a problem, Officers?

I haven't done anything.

Let me ask you a question.

What's a guy like you

doing by yourself

when the party's over there?

Just hanging out

by the ocean, Officer.

Well, we're, you know,

down on the beach,

and your party's rattling

our walls a little bit.

What kind of dragon

do I have to slay

to get a drink around these parts?

Pow! Pow!

I'm really glad you guys are here.

I was getting a little bit bored,

to be honest.

Well, aren't these all your friends?
