You're this huge movie star now?

I heard you did some...

you played a big football player

or something.

- I didn't see it.

- It was just this thing...

- F***ing De Niro and sh*t.

- What?

- He's awesome.

- Yeah.

- Deer Hunter?

- Yeah.

Man, we should sit down

and we should talk...

because I've got some

really good ideas for movies.

You could play me

and sh*t. Poof!

- Stories from the Force.

- Yeah.

Yeah, definitely. That sounds good.

- Holy sh*t!

- What's up?

- How you doing, man?

- How you doing, man?

- What's up?

- Hey, how you doing? Good to see you.

Get this guy a beer. This guy does not

wait for a beer. He's a movie star.

Like, uh, Jersey's

De Niro and sh*t.

- Largeman, man, what are you doing home?

- I, uh...

Press junket.

That's phat, yo.

F***, yeah!

Serpico and sh*t.

"Attica!"

Shut the f*** up, man.

You like that?

Like, uh,

"press junket"?

That's improv, b*tch.

You can use it. Right?

Okay. Let me

show you something.

Largeman! Oh, whoa!

What's going on, man?

How you been?

Hey!

- Jess. How are you, brother?

- How's it going, man?

I haven't seen you in so long.

I heard you're kicking ass.

Oh, um, basically the man

bought my silent Velcro patent.

- What?

- I developed this little item.

It's just like Velcro,

but it doesn't make that...

the Velcro noise.

- So how much did they buy it for?

- A lot, man.

Wow. So wh-what are you

doing with yourself?

Um, nothing.

Nothing.

I've never been so bored

in my whole life.

Yeah. First month I went out.

I bought a whole bunch of sh*t.

But, y...

Nothing.

Someone got

a joint for me?

Here you go.

Oh. No, thanks, man.

Really? I thought you were

a big movie star and sh*t.

- Nah.

- Well, then here.

Eat this.

Welcome home.

I guess I'll see you guys later.

Should we

play a game?

Let's play

"spin the bottle."

I'm not playing "spin the bottle."

How old are we?

- Or more importantly, how old are they?

- Oh, they're all legal.

I think.

Well, wejust ate

all this f***ing "X,"

so what the hell else

are we supposed to do?

Girl has a point.

- F***ing right.

- I'm in!

- Hey!

- Large!

Large!

- Largeman, this is Dana.

- Hi.

Hi.

Who's up?

Whoo!

This is gonna be a good night.

It's good, isn't it?

I always try to save a couple

of the marshmallows till the very end...

but I never make it.

I always end up with...

a bunch of flake things

and pink milk.

My mind wanders.

So, Tim...

How long have you been

working at Medieval Times?

Three years. B-But I've

only been a knight for two.

You have to

pay your dues.

I worked in the stables

and helped in the kitchen.

When I started,

he was making the coleslaw.

It hasn't been the same
