so we can-- and he wants

to meet with you.

Well, I'm just gonna

let him know

that we'll know sometime

between Friday and Sunday.

It might just be last minute.

You might get there

Thursday night

and Friday I might get a call

and you might have

to see him Friday.

No, I understand.

We'll just be there.

Hopefully we can get

them two together

and get them to meet up,

but I'm not promising anything.

- So I go to f***ing New York--

- And we wait for her to give us a call.

It's like--

we'll make it work

whenever Diddy's available.

This is f***ing ridiculous.

Good?

It's good.

New York, New York,

it's the captain speaking

Buckle up, sit tight,

we about to kick the streets in

Start from scratch,

no, it ain't a thing, man

I come with Diddy and I keep

on creeping creeping

Creeping.

So is this true?

You're done?

You're just--

you're going straight

for the music?

- Yeah.

- Wow.

Yeah, I really want it

to be like

a hip-hop "Bohemian Rhapsody"

kind of thing, you know?

I'm wanting it to be epic.

Epic is good.

Epic is--

it's good.

Epic is--

epic is epic.

Too big to burn up

in our atmosphere,

these pieces of ice and rocks

come hurtling down

on an unsuspecting metropolis.

Well, it's Sunday afternoon

and I haven't heard nothing.

Can you just call them

and find out what's going on?

Do the snow angel, dude.

I can beat you.

Do the snow angel.

Do the f***ing snow angel.

Dude, do the f***ing

snow angel.

Do the snow angel, Lar.

Do the f***ing snow angel, dude.

Do the f***ing snow angel.

Dude, do it.

Look at mine.

Look at mine.

Look at mine, dude.

- That's bad.

- Huh?

You're fine.

Dude, you only have wings!

His angel doesn't have f***ing legs.

Look, you don't have

any leg--

- I don't think you have balls.

- That's a funny bit.

You know, the big YouTube video

is just a little midget--

a little midget Indian being like--

They think everything is funny.

Have you seen their shows?

And they got-- there's one--

I wish I could remember

what the f***ing song was.

It's f***ing genius.

I can't-- it's so funny.

And the thing is they think

they're funny

and they don't even

hear how they sound.

You know, the accent sounds

normal to them.

And the clothes look normal.

They still think it's funny.

It's doubly funny for us.

Whoo!

Whoo.

Freeze-frame.

Ahh-- ow ow!

- You f*ggot! Busted.

- Ow ow ow!

- You're a f***ing--

- Ow, f***!

Running around

like a f***ing idiot, dude.

- You got sh*t on your face.

- Okay-- ow, f***! Ow!

Hey, Diddy can't do it now

for a few days, I'm being told.

I don't know, they said maybe

we could try for Saturday morning.

I don't know. I don't know

if it's going to happen this weekend.
