how and when this happened.

DEREK:
Is this really necessary?

Can't you just take the credit card

numbers and run that somehow?

No. This is very necessary.

Because right now

they could have

credit cards in your name,

take loans out.

They could have

your social security number.

They could commit crimes

in your name. Do you understand?

They can sell

this information to 20 more people.

This, this could

just be the beginning.

MIKE:
It's amazing

how clueless people are.

It's like picking

your nose in the car

and you think

nobody's watching you.

And then they wonder

how in the world

someone got their

social security number.

JASON:
You done with this?

MIKE:
Yeah.

- Hey, Dad?

- What, babe?

You think maybe...

Maybe I could get an iPad?

My teacher said it would,

like, help with all my school work.

(LAUGHS)

Really? I told you

I fixed the screen

on your laptop.

It's up in my office.

You don't need an iPad, bud.

What's this thing with you rolling your

eyes every time I say something?

Wrap that up good.

Way to go, butterfingers.

No chicken salad for lunch.

And clean the floor.

And don't use the dish rag.

(MUSIC THUMPING IN HOUSE)

COLE:
Yeah,

so I got that same guy.

Keeps coming back on

with the lights turned off.

I can just see, like,

the shadow from his face on the thing.

It's, like, come on,

creeps me out. It's f***ed up.

MALE:
That's f***ed up.

What's up, Kyle?

KYLE:
Harvey,

this is Shane.

What's up, man?

He's that kid I met

at the skate park.

You hungry, Shane?

KYLE:
Dig in.

COLE:
He makes really

good f***ing spaghetti.

- Dig in.

- It's my thing, spaghetti. I make spaghetti.

COLE:
So, where you from?

Des Moines.

Yeah, you been on the streets?

Let the kid eat.

You know what

we do here, Shane?

How old are you?

SHANE:
Um, 15.

Let me ask you a question.

Do you jerk off?

Yeah? You wanna

get paid for it?

- That would be f***ing awesome.

- KYLE:
Good, man.

One rule, Shane.

Trust me,

no one else. Okay?

SHANE:
So, what am

I supposed to do?

MARIA:
Take off your pants.

Just look cute.

They're dying for you to take it all off.

Now, play with

the toys over there.

Guys talk to you all at once

and your goal is to get them to go private.

And how long does

it take for someone to be interested?

Look, he's already got 14

that want to go private.

Look, this freak

wants to go C2C.

C2C is kinda gross

'cause you have to look right at them.

But cam to cam costs more

so if they wanna do it, you gotta do it.

Okay. All right.

Who is this guy?

MumboJumbo27.

- You feel good?

- Yeah, I feel good.

You just gotta do it.

(BOTH EXCLAIMING)

One nil! Big f*** you!

F*** you.
