Freddy Got Fingered Page #3

Synopsis: Gordon, 28, an aspiring animator, leaves his home in Oregon to sell his ideas to Hollywood. After being told, correctly, that they are quite possibly the most stupid ideas ever and that he needs to spend time rethinking them, he moves back home. But his father, never a kind man, escalates his mean treatment of his rather unconventional son. Meanwhile, Gord has fallen for Betty, an attractive doctor at the hospital where his friend is staying; she happens to use a wheelchair, and to delight in having her paralyzed legs beaten with a bamboo cane; her sexual aggression intimidates him. Gord's family goes to a psychiatrist, and he lies to her that his father molests Gord's brother, Freddy; Gord neglects to mention that Freddy is 25. Soon, Gordon has the house to himself, and comes up with a winning animated series, "Zebras in America" based on his own family. All this is really a framework on which Tom Green hangs his usual crazy stunts.

when people take the law into their hands.

- Like a Batman.

- Like a Guardian Angel. What's that called?

- Like a vigilante.

- Like a vigilante! He's like a vigilante...

...uh, cat.

It's a cat who's a vigilante.

A cat who is a vigilante.

I got that, Gord. Listen, your drawings are

pretty good, but it doesn't make sense, OK?

It's f***ing stupid. OK?

What you need here is elevation.

There has to be something that happens

that's funny. What the f***'s happening here?

- OK. That's a banana...

- I see the banana, Gord.

- With string.

- I see the string.

With a bag of eyes on the other end,

ba-ba-baboon eyes...

...with sauce...

...uh, dripping.

Dripping sauce and a baboon.

You see what I mean?

It doesn't make any sense, Gord.

It sucks! The drawings are pretty good,

but the characters are lame.

God. The characters are lame.

I'm a loser. I wish I was dead!

Gord, listen! Wait, wait, wait. Listen.

I'm trying to give you

a piece of advice. Will you stop?

You gotta figure these animals out.

You gotta figure them out.

You gotta get inside the animals. OK?

Figure them out.

Take that out. I can't understand.

- I gotta get inside the animals?

- Get inside the animals.

- You mean I shouldn't blow my brains out?

- No. No, you shouldn't blow your brains out.

Wanna play in the big leagues?

You gotta work on it 24 hours a day.

You gotta give it weeks and weeks

and months and months and years!

And then if it doesn't work out, Gord,

then blow your f***ing brains out.

But, sir, I can't work on this all day.

I got a job at the cheese sandwich factory.

The cheese sandwich factory? That's funny.

No, it's true. I gotta make cheese sandwiches.

- I got rent and...

- Gord, listen.

If you really wanna be an animator,

you should quit the shitty cheese job.

Think about it, all right?

Gord, you really wanna be an animator...

... get inside the animals.

"Get inside the animals."

You were a big boy, weren't ya?

Oh, stinky.

# I'd like to build the world a home

and furnish it with love

# Grow apple trees and honey bees

# And snow-white turtle doves

# I'd like to teach the world to sing

# In perfect harmony

# I'd like to hold it...

Holy sh*t!

I wasn't...

I wasn't expecting that to happen.

(# "We're a Happy Family"

by The Ramones)

# We're a happy family,

we're a happy family

# We're a happy family,

me, Mom and Daddy

# We're a happy family,

we're a happy family

# We're a happy family,

me, Mom and Daddy

# Sittin'here in Queens

eatin'refried beans

# We're in all the magazines

Gord, you're back! Whoa!

There we go.

Hello?

Now listen, Gordie's gonna be a little upset

about being back home, so just be nice.
