No.

Well, it got declined.

Did you max it out

or something?

No, of course not.

Is this why you're calling?

Well, yeah.

Yeah. I want to know

why the credit card isn't working.

- I don't know.

- Great.

So now I'm in El Paso

with no credit card.

I'm sure it's a mistake, Derek.

Just call the number

on the back of the card.

- All right. All right, I'll talk to you later.

- Okay.

- Bye.

- Bye.

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

MAN ON TELEPHONE: Can you verify a $5,300

charge at Best Buy yesterday?

That's not possible.

That's crazy.

There's gotta be a mistake.

A charge for $28

at Victoria's Secret two days ago.

Absolutely not!

Okay, Mrs. Hull,

we'll freeze that account.

What the f***?

Yeah, yeah, well,

listen, I did that.

I talked to the cops, I filled out that

report, and they told me to go...

No, they said because it's under

$10,000, I have to deal with you guys.

And now you're sending me back to

them and they're gonna say...

All right, so,

if you're gonna investigate this,

how am I gonna pay for sh*t

in the meantime? You...

You guys have my money.

That's it. That's it. That's all I have.

Yes, because my

automatic payments are bouncing right now.

In about a month.

Well, I can't wait a month

for an investigation.

Okay, thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I'll call you later.

These people are

f***ing useless.

What the f*** happened?

(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)

Dude, dude. There he is.

Dude, send him a message.

FRYE:
All right.

What?

Mom said

you were driving me home from school.

No, Tracy drove me today.

Take the bus.

I have my guitar.

That's not getting in my car.

I'm sorry.

He really is a tool, man.

I told him Jessica's mom died.

I think he really feels

f***ing sorry for her now.

You told him

that your mom died?

No, Jessica's mom died.

Are you kidding me?

Yeah, dude.

You gotta create empathy.

A whole back story.

It's weird, man.

Your mom died. Yes?

Yeah, dude, whatever,

just creating a story.

Okay. All right,

we have lift off.

You ready? I said,

"What are you up to?"

He says,

"Having lunch with friends."

JASON:
What a lying

sack of sh*t, dude. Let me see.

- This is f***ing awesome.

- Okay.

"Hey, Ben, are you horny?

"I always get horny

in the lunch room.

"Makes me wanna

send you a picture."

- "A picture"?

- "A pic."

- He trusts us, we need to step it up a bit.

- That's true.

Which pic would

you call a Jessica?

Oh, my... Mama!

This one? This one?

I'll do this.

- Yes.

- Send.

You sent it?

I sent it.

FRYE:
Here we go.

Dude, I think he just

pissed his pants, man!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

"How about

you send me one back?"

(MOANS)

You are amazing.

That was amazing.
