Wow. Look. A rave.

121

Oh, wow. Look. A nerd with a camera.

122

00:
07:20,649 -- 00:07:23,198

What? Just don't follow

me around all night, okay?

123

00:
07:23,318 -- 00:07:25,946

What do you mean? I thought... I

thought you wanted me to come with you.

124

00:
07:26,029 -- 00:07:29,624

I did. I did. But just go and

do your own thing for once, okay?

125

00:
07:29,741 -- 00:07:32,585

Just... have a beer, talk to people. j&j&

126

00:

I don't drink.

127

00:
07:56,518 -- 00:07:59,271

Hey! Hey!

128

00:
08:02,482 -- 00:08:03,825

Hey!

129

00:
08:04,818 -- 00:08:08,118

Excuse me. Hey! Hey,

what are you filming for?

130

00:
08:08,196 -- 00:08:09,573

Oh, I don't... Um...

131

00:
08:09,698 -- 00:08:11,371

- Uh...

- What?

132

00:
08:11,449 -- 00:08:14,043

- I can't hear you.

- I'm just filming.

133

00:
08:14,119 -- 00:08:17,023

Oh. Oh, cool. Cool. I'm filming for my blog.

134

00:
08:17,747 -- 00:08:19,670

This is pretty lame, right?

138

00:
08:27,257 -- 00:08:29,225

Why is it lame?

139

00:
08:29,300 -- 00:08:31,974

You know, Jung said parties are just...

140

00:
08:32,053 -- 00:08:34,806

people's way of seeking

widespread validation.

141

00:
08:34,889 -- 00:08:38,939

I'm not one to clamor to be cool, you know.

142

00:
08:39,019 -- 00:08:45,322

Wow. Way to put an analytical

psychology spin on this barn party, Matt.

143

00:
08:46,151 -- 00:08:48,370

That's awesome.

144

00:
08:48,445 -- 00:08:50,288

Awesome.

145

00:
08:51,072 -- 00:08:53,200

- You're awesome.

- Hey, Matt.

146

00:
08:53,283 -- 00:08:56,753

Hey, what did Jung say about glow sticks?

147

00:
09:09,466 -- 00:09:11,764

You filming my girlfriend?

148

00:
09:13,136 -- 00:09:14,934

Yes or no?

149

00:
09:15,055 -- 00:09:17,102

No, I... I'm not filming anything.

150

00:
09:17,103 -- 00:09:18,150

- I'm just filming the party.

- Okay.

151

00:
09:18,224 -- 00:09:20,727

I should break your

b*tch-ass nose. You know that?

152

00:
09:20,810 -- 00:09:22,778

- No, I wasn't...

- Don't talk back to me.

153

00:
09:22,854 -- 00:09:24,777

- B*tch.

- Okay.

154

00:
09:40,997 -- 00:09:43,341

Andrew?

155

00:
09:43,416 -- 00:09:44,918

Andrew.
