Dude, that's what friends do.

Friends wingman each other.

And I hate that word but it's what I'm

gonna do to you whether you like it or not.

Not that I don't appreciate it.

It's just I think that...

This is an American tradition.

Having sex by prom is a story told over

and over again by our greatest writers.

Huck Finn, Moby Dick, Ulysses, The Iliad,

they're all about having sex by prom.

- No, I don't think they are.

- But it feels like they are.

What about you, man?

You're nowhere near having sex

with anything anytime soon.

I'm pretty sure

I can still hook it up with Ava.

F***. That guy?

Come on. One of us is gonna

make some progress today.

Reflections, the center

of Glen Ellen's gay universe.

It's good to be back at a bar.

Did you know that this is one of

my top five favorite bars?

Yeah, it is.

- Oh, thank you.

- Cool, cool, cool.

The only bar in town that doesn't care

how shitty our fake IDs are.

Dude, this is great.

Okay. Well, no wonder they let us in.

Dude, this is bad.

This is really bad. This is like a more

depressing version of a regular bar.

That guy over there looks like

he's having a great time.

Come on. Come on.

- Hey, guys. How's it going?

- Hey, guys.

Are you guys new?

You're probably new.

Everyone here is a regular.

I'd recognize you if you were new.

Yeah, yeah. This is Matty.

I'm Michael. He's gay, I'm not.

- I'm Jared and I'm very gay.

- Yeah, we noticed.

Do you guys go to Glen Ellen?

It's cool. I go to Valley Springs.

Go Panthers.

I feel like I know the scene there...

...and you guys seem like

GHS kids. Boo, Huskies.

- Yeah, yeah, we go to Glen Ellen.

- Awesome.

So do you wanna f*** later?

Holy sh*t.

Dude, that guy is ready to f*** now.

What's wrong?

He has a ring in his eyebrow

and glitter on his everything.

- So?

- He was too gay.

Don't be homophobic, bro.

- Come on, now, what's your type?

- I don't think I have a type.

Of course you do. What is it?

Look, we should just chill out,

like, have a beer, relax.

- Can we do that, please?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Hi, again.

- Hey, Jared.

It's gonna be a no for the f***ing.

Shh, gonna get some E.

Want some E?

- You want some.

- Don't want any ecstasy.

I'll get you some E and then we'll talk.

- E for enthusiasm.

- Yeah, certainly.

- This is useless.

- You're super lucky.

Look, when you're gay,

you get nonstop sex all the time...

...no strings attached. It's amazing.

I'm not gonna just have sex

with anyone because I'm gay.

- I'm gay, I'm not a whore.

- I'm back with your ecstasy, boys.

We were very specific.

We don't want it.

Have you even tried it before?

Oh, my God.

- You're really good at dancing.
