- Fuck.
Fuck it.
Hey.
- How you doing today?
- Good, what can I get for you?
- I have a reservation with Mattan
or an interview with Mattan.
- An interview?
- Yeah.
- Really?
Mattan.
- Lloyd, seriously what have I told you
about yelling in front of customers?
- I'm not yelling.
- Hi, Crispin?
- Yes, that's right.
- [Mattan] Right, how's it going?
- Good.
- Couple of questions.
Have you ever made a pizza?
- No, I've never actually made one,
but I'm a quick learner.
- Second question.
Have you ever had a job?
- No, this would be my first
one if I were to get it.
- I'll get you a shirt.
- Wait, what do you mean a shirt?
- A tee shirt like that.
He doesn't know what
tee shirts are, Mattan.
(bright music)
- Hey hon, did you eat?
I haven't had time to go
to the grocery store yet,
but I know we have some salami
and that bread you like.
- Yeah, yeah, I got the job.
- You did?
I'm so excited for you.
Oh by the way, have you called your dad?
He needs help.
- Fantastic.
I gotta go.
I'm gonna be late.
- Okay, bye, I love you.
- Love you, too.
(upbeat music)
Oh God, could you be...
- [Anthony] Don't.
(upbeat music)
Of course I dropped it.
It was at eight, Crispin.
- [Crispin] I think that officially means
you've dropped more class
than you've been to.
- It's just unnatural for
me to get up that early.
There's nothing I can do about it.
It's before my normal waking cycle.
- What the fuck is a waking cycle?
- It's before my normal
waking cycle, Crispin.
What don't you understand about that
and what am I even supposed to do?
I wake up, I'm clueless.
I'm literally pointless in class.
I get in.
I get it to the desk.
I finally get to my desk.
Literally, get there, sit down,
and then it's just over for me.
That's it for the rest of the time.
- Fuck, I'm gonna be late.
- Oh Crispin, you going
to The Ridge tonight?
- Why, so we can stand around
and look through our phone
in hopes we can find a girl
bored enough to blow us
in the backseat of your car
that we don't even fit into
only to find that they can't come
'cause they're busy blowing the one guy
that didn't answer our phone calls?
- Yeah, but there's still
that wonderful chance.
- Yeah, I'll see you there.
(soft music)
- Since then, she's texted
me a total of three times.
That means three out of three times,
she wanted to talk to me first.
She also liked 13 of my photos
and I didn't like a single one of hers.
- Whoa bro, 13.
That's an unlucky number, man.
- No, that means I won.
- No, no you lost.
For sure.
- No, she's crawling back to me.
- No, if you texted her
'cause you're a guy,
you'd be crawling back yeah,
but she's a girl and she texted you first,
which means she's like a better person
for staying in contact with you.
- [Jason] Well, I always did
think she was a better person.
- I never texted a girl first in my life.
- Shut up, Tim.
You don't like Harry Potter.
You lost your right to speak.
- Yeah, plus you don't text 'em.
They just appear in your room.
- Yeah, they just disapparate right in.
You don't what that is because
you don't like Harry Potter.
Fuck you, Tim.
- Anthony, you can watch Harry Potter
all night once we get that new place.
- [Crispin] New place?
- Yeah, we got one on
Deerfield, Culver, Yale.
Oh, and the one by Frank's old place.
- Oh yeah, I like that one.
- [Crispin] Dude, what the fuck?
Those are all in the same city.
- Well I can't leave the city.
I got school and why do you even care?
- I mean, I can't leave 'cause of Rachel.
- You don't even have any
more classes left to drop.
- Transfer.
- Oh man.
You really don't think I won though?
- Yo.
Not a single girl coming.
(gentle music)
- [Shades] What?
What are you doing?
What?
What are you doing?
Look, stop, stop, stop.
You just.
It's sad.
It really is sad watching you do this.
Look, you ever seen "Goodfellas?"
You know the part where
Joe Pesci stabs the guy?
Well you just gotta get in
there like that, like that.
Like that.
And you're done.
You're officially off your period.
- How have you been here longest again?
- [Shades] How do your face look
like the genitals of everybody...
- You know we make pizza right?
- [Mattan] Crispin.
- We make pizza.
- [Mattan] Come with me.
- P-I-Z-Z-A.
- I wanna teach you how to
run the front, all right?
This girl right here, she
needs a little loving.
- [Lloyd] You treat her
like a lady, Mattan.
Like a lady.
- All right, one more time.
A little nudge.
(cash register beeping)
There you go.
Hello sir.
- How old are those?
- They've been out for a bit,
but we can always warm 'em
up in the oven if you like.
- How long is a bit?
- Well, I'm not exactly sure
how long they've been out,
but it can't have been a long time.
Do you want a slice, sir?
- Yeah, two cheese and is
there a bathroom around here?
- Unfortunately we do not, sir,
but if you go across the parking lot,
there's one in Yogurt World.
- [Lloyd] Fuck Yogurt World.
(bright music)
- All right.
- Thanks.
- Oh my God.
Have these orders been made?
(bell chiming)
(gentle music)
- [Crispin] Hello, how
can I help you today?
- I ordered a pizza for delivery
two and a half hours ago
and it still hasn't come.
- I am so sorry.
- I want my money back.
Now.
- That shouldn't be a problem.
Let me just run and get
a manager real quick.
- What, they don't teach everyone
how to open the register?
27.95, that's how much you owe me.
Just open the register, pull
it out and give it to me.
- Just let me grab a manager.
It's my first day and I don't wanna...
- You know what, nah.
If you need your manager that
bad, I'll just go get him.
- Wait, what do you mean?
What do you mean get him?
- [Shades] Sup, Sierra?
- [Sierra] Shades.
- [Shades] All right, later.
- [Crispin] Okay, so you work here?
- [Sierra] Yeah.
- [Crispin] Okay.
What was your name?
I didn't...
- Sierra.
And don't worry I can
handle the front now.
- Oh got you.
Nice meeting you and well played, Sierra.
(bright music)
- [Anthony] You ain't big.
You ain't big.
- Oh yeah I am.
- [Anthony] You ain't big.
You ain't big.
- Guess what.
It's back on with Rachel.
- So you're gonna pretend
that's still a thing?
- So she's grabbing stuff
out of my car, right.
She comes across this flashlight.
She grabs the flashlight, hands it to me,
and our hands touch, right?
And at first I don't really notice it,
but then I realize she could've grabbed
that flashlight at any point,
but she chose to grab it right
where I was naturally gonna grab it.
- Are you serious?
You just bumped hands.
That doesn't mean shit.
- I'm serious as syphilis, Crispin.
It didn't have to be a flashlight.
It could've been anything.
That's not important.
What's important was the intention.
- [Adam] Yo, what's up, guys?
- What up?
- Is that Northwood Pizza?
- Yup.
- Why, why?
Why did you get Northwood Pizza?
- Well to get a discount from you.
- I told you even if I'm
there, which I'm not,
I can't get you a fucking
discount yet, dude.
- It's all good.
I got one from this hot chick Sara anyway.
- [Crispin] Ah, Sierra.
- Hey Adam.
If Rachel touched my hand on purpose
when she was giving me something,
does that mean it's back on?
- [Adam] Congratulations.
- Case in point.
You got the same opinion as Adam.
Anthony, you're fucking awful.
- I'm the best there ever was.
- So, every move a woman makes
is methodically planned out.
Nine out of 10 times
they're days ahead of us.
They don't just do things.
- [Crispin] False.
Even more false than
your stupid flashlight.
- Every move is planned out.
If I was aware of it,
she was too, you know.
Her touching my hand today is probably
setting up something months from now.
- You know he's right.
- Adam, who even told you
we were here right now?
- [Anthony] Ow.
- Oh wait, wait.
Are you okay?
- Oh yeah, I just gotta go.
I got.
I got parents.
They got things.
- Find a nickel.
- Fuck you, Adam.
- Can I bum?
Bum a stoge off you.
- Yeah dude, no problem.
- A stoge.
A stoge art.
Humphrey Stogart.
I didn't like it either.
Give me that.
Okay.
Here you go.
You know what really traps my ass, man?
- What's that?
- So, I'm talking to this girl, right.
Text her.
It's nothing serious.
It's brand new.
She's pretty cute, I guess.
Sent me a picture, some emojis.
I sent her back some emojis.
It's nothing serious.
We know nothing about each
other at this point, okay.
Nothing.
I know nothing about her.
So we're talking.
- Hey, brother.
Think I can bum a cigarette?
- Yeah, of course, dude.
In fact, take two so you
can like the first one more.
- Appreciate it.
(energetic music)
- Where is Shades?
He always does this and
then I have to do his work.
- Hey Mattan.
- [Mattan] Hey.
Where is Shades?
Oh my God, has this freezer
been unplugged all day?
- So, we're talking, right.
I'm trying to figure out exactly
what kind of woman this girl is, you know.
Is she smart?
Is she a bitch?
Is she gonna do my taxes for me?
These are the things I
need to know as a person.
So, the thing is I actually
know how to find this out.
I know exactly how to find this out.
- How do you find that out?
- One simple all informative
question, Crispin.
- What's your favorite "Star Wars" movie?
(bright music)
- Yeah, that's exactly right.
How did you know that?
- It's obvious.
- Did we just become lovers?
(bell chiming)
That means you gotta go help them.
- Oh.
- What have you been here a week?
Go, come on.
Go.
- How can I help you today, sir?
- Hey, I put an order in not too long ago.
It's probably not ready.
I'm here pretty early.
- Yeah, no problem at all.
What was your name?
- Hayden.
- So anyway.
I asked her the question.
- Shades, you son of a bitch.
Where are you?
I can't believe you're
pulling this shit again.
It's a disaster down here.
- [Shades] It's Thursday.
- It is Thursday.
And you don't work Thursday.
- [Shades] Bye.
(bright music)
- And what'd she say?
- [Crispin] All right man, here you go.
Here's your pizza.
- [Lloyd] "Attack of the Clones".
- "Attack of the Clones".
On purpose?
Like actually?
- Actually sent me that text.
That was a thing that happened?
She picked a prequel.
That's already bad enough.
I can deal with the other two.
It's fine.
They're all right.
But "Attack of the Clones".
It's actually like she kind of like
purposely tried to piss you off.
- I'm really sorry about that.
That was unnecessary and
I'm sorry about the pizza.
Thanks, guys.
- Wow.
That was actually pretty cool.
(gentle music)
- Eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
Ha, I win again.
Losers clean up.
- [Man] Oh, but you guys, lag is horrible.
(energetic music)
- Crispin, thank God.
Listen.
I got orders out the ass
and I'm the only fucking person here.
Can you do a delivery for me?
- Like now?
- Yes, like now, like right now.
Like right goddamn now.
Can you do a delivery for me?
- Yeah, I mean.
- Okay, good, take it here.
The address is on there.
Just go, okay.
Just go, you'll be fine.
- My car's out of gas.
- Sh, sh, sh, sh.
Shut the fuck up, okay.
Go, good. - Okay.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Most important thing, okay.
You get the money first and
then you give 'em the pie, okay.
Money first.
- Money first.
- Then the pie.
You got it? - Yeah.
- Make me proud.
(upbeat music)
- [Customer] Yeah, come in.
Just put it on the counter.
I'll be out in a sec.
- Cool, this counter's fine?
- [Customer] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just anywhere.
How much do I owe you?
- That'll be 27.95.
- [Customer] No, all right.
I can't fucking go five
times in a row, all right.
A man needs fucking juice, okay.
Finally, Jesus fucking Christ.
- Frank?
Adam's friend.
We like went to school together and stuff.
- Oh, Christian.
What's up, man?
Look at you.
You got like chin hair and shit.
Get over here.
Come here, baby.
Let me.
Aw yeah.
Ooh, dude.
I like that.
- Yeah, dude, I didn't
know you moved back.
- Moved back?
Baby, I never left.
- [Woman] He left?
- No, I said that I never left.
- [Woman] Oh because (speaks
in foreign language).
Fuck you.
- What?
- [Woman] Ugh, you're deaf.
- No, I'm not deaf.
That I didn't hear everything you say.
- What the fuck did you say?
- That I don't listen to anything you say.
- [Woman] One more fucking time.
- If I listened to
everything that you said,
my ears would fucking rot.
- Everything I said.
You just said anything I said.
- So?
- You know what, Frank?
You're a fucking coward.
You know that?
You're always backing down.
- Yeah 'cause you're
fucking manlier than me.
Look at you with those fucking
gigantic gigantour
fucking boobs everywhere
just flailing around
like you own the place.
- Honestly, do you mind
if I just grab the money?
- [Woman] Do you mind...
- Not a problem at all.
- [Woman] Say that one more fucking time.
- Whoa.
I didn't know I was fucking a
broken record this whole time.
- Is that what you call fucking?
- Honestly, if I can just
grab the money and go,
wouldn't be a big deal.
- Fucking hate you.
- Fuck you.
- Get the fuck over here.
Get the fuck over here.
Fuck, yeah baby.
- [Woman] Woo.
Oh Frank.
Oh.
(bright music)
- Hey.
Did you get it?
(bright music)
Is this the tip?
(soft music)
- Nice wheels.
Car itself looks like it
barely made it here though.
- Oh these ones?
It made it though because
I put hamsters in it.
- Oh.
- And that's why it made it here.
- Knew it was something about the wheels.
Turns out it was the animal
cruelty I was attracted to.
- You know, animal cruelty.
It's American way.
Can I use your lighter?
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
- Good.
You get it.
Cigarettes with white
filters are not cigarettes.
- Well of course.
Just like pterodactyls aren't dragons.
- That seems rehearsed.
- No, it is.
I don't get out much.
I sit around and I just make these
elaborate scenarios in my head.
I play 'em out and then I memorize them
and I just hope to God
that it happens one day.
- I blame the 2000s.
- What year were you born?
- 95.
Do you consider yourself
a 90s kid or a 2000s kid?
- I don't know.
What age do you have to
be during which decade?
- I don't know for sure
but everyone from Woodstock
says they're from the 60s and
they were like fucking 20.
- Okay, so we're from the 2000s.
- [Crispin] Boom of the internet.
- That's right.
I'm definitely from the
AOL and Myspace era.
- Does that mean we're from the generation
of first failed attempts?
- You don't seem like you are.
Hey Garza.
Got some allergies there?
Your eyes look a little red.
- I'm stoned.
You know what really chaps my ass?
- What's that?
- [Garza] They're gonna
shut down All Star Donuts.
- What?
The one by Antonio's and
the fucking Chinese place?
- Yeah.
- That's a shame.
- No, I know.
Sickening.
Absolutely sickening.
- It's at an ass chapping.
- [Garza] It is.
It is.
(soft music)
- Mattan.
- Did you put the orders
in for the tomatoes yet?
(upbeat music) (bell chiming)
- Fuck.
- Hey Lloyd.
- Hey Crispin.
- How's it hanging?
- Long, hairy, and hard to carry, man.
- Fuck, man.
Yeah, I've been meaning
to ask you actually.
What's up with the picture
by the pinball machine?
- Oh that.
That's the danger.
- Everyone knows the legend, Crispin.
- Yeah, that AJ guy worked here years ago.
Then he stopped working, grabbed this,
set a new high score, walked out,
and no one's seen him since.
Or beat his stupid score.
- What's his score?
- 79,812 that fucker scored.
Every single person whose ever worn
a Northwood Pizza tee
shirt has tried to beat it.
No one's even come close.
- How hard could that shit be?
It's a pinball machine.
- You asking that proves you're not ready.
None of us on the same
level as the danger.
Be the stupid fucking shiny ball.
Okay.
- How do I not know about this danger?
- "The" danger and I have no clue.
It's actually very sad.
(soft music)
Have you heard that they're opening
a Five Guys down the street?
Supposedly the first
one on the left coast.
- Oh, I had not heard that actually
and please don't ever
fucking say left coast again.
(soft music)
- [Sierra] Yeah, it's supposed
to be really, really good.
- Is it now?
- Mm hm, I really wanna try it.
- Yeah, that sounds interesting.
I would try that.
- Actually you wanna try
it with me this weekend?
- I can't.
Or what?
I totally can.
I don't know why I said.
Yeah, I can do that next weekend.
- All right, but of course
I won't be paying for you.
(soft music)
- Yeah.
Ah.
Are you serious?
All right, it's on.
(bright music)
- So the other week I went
to this modern art museum.
I'm gonna be honest.
I didn't get it.
I didn't get a lot of it.
- Yeah.
- There was just a lot of
it is just random painting.
- [Crispin] I got pizza.
- [Jason] Awesome.
- Jesus, about time.
- I only got like five minutes.
- All right, well let's talk about it.
I was right.
Girls know exactly what they're doing.
- Yeah, they do.
- 100 bucks says you blew it.
You've never been a closer.
- What do you mean I'm not a closer?
What does he mean I'm not a closer?
- [Jason] It's okay.
Some girls like awkward.
- What do you mean awkward?
- Off the top of my head
there's Caroline, Lindsay.
- Claire.
Thank you, Jason.
- Why, why?
- [Jason] Come on.
- Are you mad at me?
Did I do something?
- Well you got cum on Alicia's dog
and you didn't even get her undressed.
- That's disgusting.
How do you even do that?
- And then you puked on Julia
and you weren't even drunk at that time.
I don't know how you do that.
- So I don't get sushi.
- Oh, oh.
And then you start
hitting on Jocelyn's mom.
- Okay in my defense, I
honestly thought it was Jocelyn,
so it's not as creepy as you think it is.
- They do look like the same from behind.
- Yeah, it's a simple mistake.
I'd make the same mistake, too.
- Rahim, we do one slice.
Not two.
- We spoke about this.
I get one slice before.
- Rahim, just give me the homework.
- No, I'm not giving you.
Why don't you do the homework?
- Well then I'd have to
go to class to do that.
- Great.
- Ah, so you admit it.
You don't go to class.
You have no excuses not to move.
- Oh please.
I got tons of classes and
I found all the places.
- The places you found are
down the fucking street.
I can see one from here right now.
- Why do you even wanna move?
It's like you're never even
happy with where you are.
- That's really deep.
Wow.
I wish I'd thought of that.
- Rahim, what are you even doing here?
(speaking in foreign language)
- What's (speaks in foreign language)?
What is that?
You say that to me all the time.
I don't speak Spanish.
- Oh, you have a visitor.
- Hey, Jason.
I was just wondering what
you were doing later.
If maybe you wanted to go get some boba.
- Jennifer, we already talked about this.
You know where my heart belongs.
I'm not gonna get boba with you.
- Jennifer.
It's a lovely dress you're wearing.
Maybe he's a little stubborn.
Maybe I can take you to boba sometime.
Jennifer.
- [Jennifer] Just stop it.
- Jennifer, just to
make him jealous maybe.
- Okay, that's it.
I'm not listening to you about anything.
You're the new advice man.
- Jason, what are you doing?
Get in there.
- My heart belongs to Rachel.
They know this.
- I gotta get back to work.
Fuck you, guys.
- Whatever, man.
- I get a slice.
- No.
- Yeah, I get a slice.
- No.
- Well who's gonna eat it?
- Not you.
(bright music)
- Yeah, I've been there for
like two years now I think.
It's not the worst job you can get.
Probably better than most places.
- Except for Mattan's
perpetual panic attacks.
- [Sierra] Ugh, right.
Actually gives me anxiety.
- [Crispin] No, they're a nightmare.
- [Sierra] As nightmarish as you eating
slower than lettuce grows?
- [Crispin] Okay just 'cause I
don't inhale my fucking food.
- [Sierra] Okay.
- [Crispin] No, did you hear that music?
I can't eat when that shit's playing.
- [Sierra] You don't like some
good old death metal while you eat?
Are you human?
- [Crispin] There's a time
and there's a place for
everything I believe,
but when I'm eating a nice meal,
just don't want someone
fucking yelling at me.
- I guess I didn't really take
you for a metal head anyway.
More of a violent
gangster rap kind of guy.
- Is it that obvious?
- I can see it in your eyes.
- Okay, what type are you then?
- Death metal.
- That makes sense.
- That makes sense?
- Yeah, you know, you just
look like you're a person
that is hiding like four
or five tattoos now.
Right now.
- Maybe I am.
Do you have any?
- Yeah, I have fucking this
one, but I'm not happy with it
and I don't think I
could ever get one again.
Actually, you know what?
I think there is one power
in this world strong enough
to get me to get another tattoo.
- What's that?
- Pussy.
- Yeah you know, it's like
our eighth time hanging out.
We're enjoying each other's company.
Having some laughs and then bam.
She can now scar my body forever.
- Okay, so seven hangouts from
now, we're getting a tattoo.
Excellent.
Where would you get it?
- That's the worst part.
I don't know why but I
kinda like need it here.
So no matter what I get,
I'm like 95% sure it's just womanly.
- A little bit, yeah.
- Yeah.
Plus, I'm pretty sure
my dad would actually
have a stroke and fall over.
- Do you live with both your parents?
- I don't actually.
They got divorced when
I was five I wanna say.
- Yeah, mine got divorced
when I was young, too.
My mom cheated on my dad.
- No shit.
- My dad cheated on my mom so.
- Do you have any siblings?
- I do actually.
I have a little sister.
Well she's actually from a different dad.
He died before she was born.
Pretty sure my mom actually
talked to him to death.
(soft music)
- [Sierra] You blaze, yeah?
- Does the Pope shit in the woods?
Yeah.
It's a yeah.
Yeah, I blaze.
- Goddammit.
Every time I take the first hit,
all the shit I have to do
comes rushing to the front.
- It's only natural, but you just gotta
smoke through that shit.
Embrace the numbness.
- Yeah.
- No, I assume it's all school stuff.
- Yup, of course.
- Where you sentenced?
- Fucking OCC.
How 'bout you?
- Fucking IVC.
- How's that?
- Oh, it's purgatory.
You just sit there and burn off sins.
- Like this whole place?
- Yeah, like this whole place.
But honestly the worst part,
I'm really bad at school.
Snapple facts.
- No.
You've not seen bad.
I am the worst.
I just would rather do
anything else, you know.
Like draw or read or write even.
- That's the worst part.
I'm not bad at school 'cause I'm like busy
like reading or writing or
doing something like painting
or laying in a field even.
I just fucking sit on a couch,
look at some form of a glowing box.
Be it a phone, computer, TV, whatever.
And I just archive
shitty ideas that I hear,
so I can just fucking
regurgitate them whenever I want.
So I'm pretty sure I'm just a burnout
that has yet to burnout.
- That just sounds like an excuse
to lay back and be a burnout.
- It is.
Like everything I say is an excuse.
In fact, everything
everyone says is an excuse.
God, I just realized
how douchey that sounds
and how douchey the word douchey is.
I'm so sorry.
You could probably have
the rest 'cause I'm done
'cause no thing good is coming from here.
- You're fine.
I don't do anything either.
So, pretty soon we can get one step closer
to getting you a tattoo.
- [Crispin] You play your cards right.
- [Sierra] I'm a lady.
I'm always carefully picking my cards.
- Well, I just killed a roly poly.
That was a mistake.
(bright music)
Yo, Jason.
Yeah no, I just got off right now.
I'll meet you there.
What do you mean you're already there?
That doesn't even make any sense.
You know how weird that is?
No, that's cool, man.
I can drive myself and meet you there.
- Hey Crispin.
Have you seen my hat?
- Hold on, Jason.
No, that ugly one that you always wear?
No, not you, Jason.
- So have you seen it?
- No, I haven't seen it.
- I really need to find it so I could...
Fuck.
- Are you okay, Lloyd?
No, not you, Jason.
You're never okay.
Yeah no, I can drive myself.
Don't worry.
(upbeat music)
- All right Crispin,
where do you wanna live?
- Fuck, I don't know, man.
Anywhere.
- Here's anywhere.
- Well yeah, anywhere except here.
- It's not that bad.
Oh, cut the shit.
How'd it go with Sara?
- Sierra.
- That well, huh?
- It went all right.
We didn't fuck or anything
so I got nothing to report.
- Dude, come on.
I don't wanna hear
about that stuff anyway.
- All right, fine.
We talked about nothing and it was fun.
It was nice.
It was pleasant.
- Pleasant?
- Fine, we talked about nothing
and it was the best
conversation I've ever had.
- Oh shit.
Sorry man, I thought I saw Rachel.
- So you just read?
- Yeah, she likes guys that read.
- But you're sitting here
with a person having a conversation.
You don't you know.
- Okay, yeah well now you're
arguing logic with emotion.
You can't do that, man.
They don't mix.
Come on.
So, are you gonna see her again?
- Yeah, she said she wanted to.
- Whoa wait.
She asked you to hang out?
Oh Crispin, that's awesome.
That's such good news, man.
Or it means absolutely nothing.
You know, I can't be sure unless I saw
exactly how she said it.
- Well she said soon.
I don't know.
- She touch your hands?
- [Crispin] Yeah.
- She stare at you when you talk?
- Yeah.
- There was a moment of
comfortable silence, wasn't there?
- There was.
- [Jason] She make fun
of how slow you eat?
- She did actually.
Fuck, you're good at this.
- I know, I know.
She make any future plans with
you other than hanging out?
Be it sarcastic or not?
- Yeah, she mentioned a tattoo.
- Oh, oh, Crispin.
Congratulations, dude, you got it.
You're money, man.
Come on, now don't listen
to what the other guys say
or what Anthony says about her.
You got yourself a strong bite.
- I don't know, man.
I really just don't think she likes me.
What do you mean what Anthony
and all them say about her?
- Okay, Crispin, you gotta stop
with this sad little man shit, okay.
Come on, she touched your hand.
Physical contact means physical interest.
She stared you in the face
when you were talking to her, right?
So imagine you're out on this trail.
There's all this beautiful scenery
and she chooses you to look at.
You know?
And comfortable silence means she was
actually listening to
you, not just hearing you.
Nobody listens nowadays.
- You just make this shit up as you go
or is it like it's stored in your head?
- Come on, she was
playfully making fun of you.
What do you do when you play with someone?
You have fun, right?
She was having fun.
And the tattoo thing means
that she imagined a future with you.
You know, it may have been
incredibly short term,
but she still imagined it.
- I don't know, man.
That's quite a bit of assumptions to make.
- Dude, I know exactly
what I'm talking about.
Also, Anthony found this
new place up on Yale.
That's anywhere.
- We can check it out, I guess but.
Yeah also, I really don't think
she could possibly like me.
There's no chance in fucking hell, dude.
You have a guest.
- [Tiffany] Hey.
- [Jason] Hey.
Tiffany, no.
Come on, you know where my heart belongs.
Maybe you should go see
what Anthony's doing.
- Definitely gonna listen
to you from now on.
- Yeah right.
- [Tiffany] Fuck you.
- I don't know if I deserve that.
(bright music)
- [Johnny] The fuck you
doing sitting around?
- It's broken.
- Oh.
Sweet.
In that case.
Mattan finds out about
this, you're fucking fired.
- Why the hell can you do it?
- 'Cause who's gonna fire me?
- Mattan.
- Which is why you're not gonna tell him.
(bell chiming)
Fuck.
Hi fucking.
Welcome to Northwood Pizza.
Sorry about that, man.
Having a bit of crazy night.
- Nope.
- Well it's good to see
you find your hat at least.
- It's your first job, yeah?
- Is it yours?
- Yup.
Hopefully the last one.
- What you wanna own this place?
- Yeah.
Yeah, and first order a business,
no more fucking white people.
- Like in general?
Just.
- Yeah, just all of 'em.
No more fucking full grown men coming in
ordering just a plain cheese pie.
It's just fucking embarrassing
to make, you know.
You are late.
- You are fired.
- You can't fire me.
- I get paid more.
Hey, Crispin.
- Thought that was like
a joke thing at first,
but I'm starting to get concerned.
How much you get paid exactly?
Don't answer that.
No, answer it.
- $9.
- Shades.
Fucking Crispin makes $9 here?
What the fuck bullshit is that?
- [Shades] Lloyd, watch
your fucking mouth.
I'm with a customer.
You fucking idiot.
That was two salads and.
- You know you're never supposed
to tell him how much you make?
You've upset the order.
- I figured that and I will
comply with the consequences.
- Noble, but your punishment
will still be extreme.
- Cut the shit.
What happened with Lloyd's?
- Hat?
That has to do with Jordan.
- [Crispin] Jordan?
- Yeah, they were like
inseparable in high school.
They won state or something in football.
Were going to the same college
and got the same offers
and they were family friends
and the whole duo package.
- So what, they get in
a fight or something?
- No.
He died senior year.
They were both in the car.
So, the hat is Jordan's.
- [Shades] What the fuck are you doing?
- Fuck you, Shades.
You owe me this.
- Fuck are you?
Tell you the truth, I
don't even fucking care.
(gentle music)
- [Sierra] All right,
anyone whose driven by
and seen us in this cheesy ass setting.
- Don't look at me.
I don't control nature.
Oh, I got one.
My first driver license instructor.
The guy that gave me the test.
I don't know what to call him.
- That bad?
- I hit a deer, yeah.
- What?
What did you do like take
your test in the woods?
- No, that was the worst part.
It was the first deer on
record in that whole city.
- Oh my god.
- And I fucking killed it.
- That's just that's not even your fault.
You can't.
- I don't know why you're laughing.
It's not funny.
- I'm sorry.
Okay.
My high school admissions counselor.
- Mm, low SATs scores?
- No, I killed the SAT, please.
- Oh.
Are we about to get real dark right now?
Like some weird high school shit.
Is that?
- No, she just got me into
a four year and I didn't go.
- What do you mean didn't?
Like on purpose?
What do you mean?
- I just I didn't.
It wasn't my first or second
or third choice school
and just didn't go.
- Well hey, at least know
you could've got into one.
I didn't even try.
I didn't even fucking take the SAT.
- Yeah.
- Were you like were
you scared or something?
- Nothing.
- Oh okay.
- No, like literally nothing.
What if I wasted all that time
and just nothing happened?
Just ended up back here
with a piece of paper
and a lifetime of debt.
Like I just ended up switching
between sitting in an office
and sitting at a house and
all I had was this house
that I just tried to keep nice and empty
while I scribble on some paper
just wishing that I
could be in that house.
- Well I got bad news.
You picked the wrong place
to avoid doing nothing.
- Yeah, scares the shit out of me.
Like from here on life
is just about sitting.
We're just supposed to sit behind a desk
so that we can afford to sit in our cars
on our way to sit in a house
where if we're lucky we
can muster up the energy
to grab some friends and
sit in another building.
- I mean, you can lay down.
- You can lay down.
- Plus honestly, if all
there is to life is sitting,
we're doing that right now and
I'm cool with it, you know.
- Yeah, I guess I don't
really mind sitting with you.
I don't know what it is about you,
but I think you just understand more
than most people in this town.
- Oh god, no.
I know nothing.
I show up and I make a joke and I'm out.
- No.
You're not just a kind of funny guy to me.
- It's 'cause you smoked the shitty weed.
- Oh, take it back.
Not funny.
(gentle music)
No, I really like spending time with you.
- Now you're just coming off desperate.
- Shut the fuck up.
(soft music)
(gentle music)

- In the dream I'm
sitting across from Rachel
in this viking canoe and it starts on fire
from like these fire arrows
that the archers are firing
on the sides of the river
and I realize we're about
to go off this waterfall and I'm trying
to jump off the canoe
but like she wants us
to die this beautiful...
- Oh gee, already?
- Fuck you want me to do, man?
I was working.
- [Adam] Yeah, you could
start by changing that shirt.
- Dude, why you only coherent
when you're being a fucking dick?
- Yeah, all right, that's the spirit.
- Adam's excited.
- You really should
change that shirt though.
This is Tim's kickback
we're talking about.
- He's probably right.
You should probably change your shirt.
- All right fuck, dude.
I'll change the shirt, Christ.
You have a shirt?
You're not gonna take me home.
I know it.
- Nope.
- Probably right.
I got the perfect one in my trunk.
- [Adam] All right, let's fucking go.
(bright music)
Come on.
- Man, that is a cool shirt, man.
- Yeah and if anything it'll be
a good icebreaker for Sierra.
- You're so money you don't even know it.
- You're money, dude.
- Fuck you, guys.
Let's go in.
(soft music)
(energetic music)
(crowd chattering)
- Oh fuck.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Rachel's here.
- We better drink.
- That's all I have to send.
Crispin.
Dude, what the fuck is
wrong with your shirt?
Do you see his shirt?
- Shut the fuck up, Rahim.
That's a beautiful goddamn shirt.
- It's floral.
- Who do you even know here?
- I know Tim.
Gave him my homework the other day.
He tried to copy it and he
still got the answers wrong.
I got 100.
- You gave your Tim your
homework and you make me beg?
- Yeah, I do.
I do make you beg.
- [Anthony] You whore.
- I'm not a whore.
You're a whore.
(gentle music)
(crowd chattering)
Yo, Brittany.
What's up?
(energetic music)
- [Woman] Excuse me.
(energetic music)
- Fuck, that's not
fucking happening, is it?
(energetic music)
Fuck that, I'm going in.
(energetic music)
Jason.
Oh and you are?
(energetic music)
- You okay, man?
- Yeah.
No.
I'm just gonna have to be a ghost tonight.
- I mean I can't really blame you.
- This is not good.
(energetic music)
- Well that didn't work at all.
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
- I believe we have evolved beyond
The means organically
provided by this earth.
Now, does that mean it's
the doom for us all?
Well, some might say yes.
But I.
I believe in miracles.
- See that pisses me off.
- Yeah, burn it with fire.
Oh my god.
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
- Here you go, Jason.
Are you having fun here?
Like I feel a little bit bad.
I didn't know she was gonna be here.
- [Jason] You know it's inevitable
at some point I'm gonna
have to talk to her.
- You know, if you want I'll
punch her right in the throat.
I'll do that.
You know, I'll do that for you.
- I want you to do it.
You know, Anthony, when
you finally flunk out,
you should be a professional wrestler.
(bright music)
- Are you gonna smoke that cigarette
or you just gonna fuck it?
(bright music)
- I don't know.
I guess he saw Rachel and
he's fucking on the run.
- I have no idea who that is,
but it makes perfect sense.

- Tim, you know Sierra, right?
Is she here?
She's like I think like this tall.
Blond hair, green eyes.
- It's a girl?
- [Crispin] Yeah.
- No, I don't know her.
Yeah, I know her.
Why?
I mean, she was around earlier.
- Earlier?
- Yeah, I saw her.
Why?
- I just I needed someone
to cover my shift.
That's all.
- I don't need people to cover my shift.

- Ick, will you not?
(bright music)
- Dude, I'm tell you
it's gonna fucking work.
- It's not gonna work.
- [Jason] Anything?
- [Crispin] Nah, I think she left.
- You know where Adam is by the way?
- Didn't he leave with
that fucking Cindy chick?
- Oh no, she left like
an hour ago with Adam.
Have you seen Sierra?
- Dude, don't worry about Sierra.
Man, you're good.
Just trust me on this one.
- [Crispin] What do you mean?
What the fuck are you talking about?
- Jason, go talk to that one over there.
- Oh dude, why do I always
have to talk to them first?
- I'm a bottom feeder, dude.
Come on, just be cool with it.
I'm cool with it.
Come on.
- Dude, it's never worked before.
Why the fuck would it work now?
- [Anthony] Because it's overdue.
- It's overdue.
- Oh shit.
There's Rachel.
Sorry guys, gotta go.
- That was fun.
- Where Jason goes, I go.
- Move, move, move.
Here.
- Oh my god, okay.
You, this place is winding down.
I'm thinking about
bouncing out of this joint.
Random girl X.
- Natalia.
- Natalia?
No fucking way.
Natalia.
Is anyone there?
I don't like being all alone
in this big empty house.
Just fucking just tell her to come here.
- No.
No.
- All right fine, fuck.
Here's what you do.
You just say anything you want.
She'll reply and the
conversation won't end.
And you'll do that a couple more times
and then just slide in
"Oh, I wish we could go to your house"
and she'll invite you over.
That's what you do.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
(bright music)
- So like.
Possibly afterwards we could do something.
- Tim, Rachel, how you doing?
- Good, how are you?
- Good, good.
Can I talk to you for a second?
I know it's weird, sorry.
But can he and I just?
- Yeah, sure.
- Real quick, what the
fuck are you doing, dude?
- It's Rachel.
- Yeah exactly, it's Rachel.
That's the whole Jason thing I was
talking about earlier in the kitchen.
- You know what?
It's cool.
Onto the next one.
- Okay cool.
(upbeat music)
- Well check this out.
Everything worked.
Like it just worked.
Gotta go.
- Good for you, man.
- Well he's got someone.
That's good.
- Hank, pull up your damn pants.
What's up, buddy?
- What is he talking about?
Hi.
I was wondering if I could give you
a ride home or something.
- Oh you know, I actually I
came with Anthony and Crispin.
All them.
So I think I'm just gonna.
- Okay well, you know I
know they have a full car,
so I mean you don't
have to drive with them
if you don't want to.
- Yeah I think I'm okay for tonight.
- Okay.
- [Jason] Yeah.
- All right.
Have a good night.
- Yeah, you too.
It's good to see you.
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
(energetic music)
- Yo, yo, yo, yo.
Wait for Jason and then let's
get the fuck out of here.
Oh, as if on cue.
- You guys are not
gonna believe this shit.
- Wait.
You ready to go?
- Yeah absolutely.
Let's get the fuck out of here.
- All right well then let's go.
- But wait.
You guys, I just straight
up denied Rachel.
- Wait what?
- Shouldn't we get Adam
before we go though?
- No, no, fuck Adam.
Fuck Adam?
Fuck Adam.
(upbeat music)
- [Jason] Rachel.
- Women.
They always win.
Come on.
(upbeat music)
I 110% did not leave my lights on.
What the fuck?
What the fuck happened to you?
- Oh hey, boys.
- Are you even at the same
party we were just at?
- Take me home.
- [Anthony] Who the fuck are you?
- Well I'm Adam.
(gentle music)
- So can we agree we just
don't know who Adam is anymore?
- [Crispin] No clue.
- [Anthony] And that Jason was basically
asking for that tonight.
Nothing really happened for me.
Fuck Chang's really the only one
who came out on top tonight.
- What the fuck, man?
I don't get it.
Do you get it?
'Cause I don't fucking get it.
You know she originally wanted
to hang out with me you know.
Said she liked listening to me.
Fucking asked to see me again.
She even did that fucking thing
where she touched my hand
when she handed me a spoon
like Jason was talking about.
Fuck man, I just don't
understand like what I did wrong.
You know?
I thought it was going fun.
I thought we were having fun.
- [Anthony] Well, did you make the move?
- Nah I didn't make the move.
You know, I didn't want to.
Well I mean I wanted
to but I just wanted it
to be more than you know about just that.
I wanted that to be clear.
- Oh, you wanted it to be clear.
Well, did you tell her how you feel?
- Well no.
Not directly but you know.
She said she likes spending
time with me and I said I agreed
so I figured it was inferred.
- So let me get this straight.
You didn't make a move.
You didn't tell her how you feel.
You basically did nothing.
What the fuck did you
think was gonna happen?
- [Crispin] I don't know, man.
- Here's a question.
What would you have done
if you found Sierra alone
at that party tonight?
- [Crispin] I don't know.
(soft music)
- You know, I get it.
I really do.
It's a bummer, dude.
It really is but you can't do nothing
and expect something to happen.
Yeah, she's cool.
You know, I like her.
Cool chick but.
She's just another reason for you to stay.
- Another reason for me to stay?
- Yeah like you know we all
have our things keeping us here.
Like Jason will always love Rachel forever
and I'll probably stay at junior college
for the rest of my life.
And Adam can't go anywhere
he can't pass out at.
- So, it's not like I
have anything going on.
- [Anthony] Yes, you do.
Everyone knows it.
You have these antsy legs, man.
They just want you to get out there.
It drives me crazy that
you're still here but.
So, you're always asking
like when are we moving out?
When are we doing this?
Since when have you even cared?
And you got this job out of nowhere.
- [Crispin] So I got a fucking job.
There's no difference between
me and anyone else, man.
- Yes, there is.
There's such a difference.
You aren't anything like
me and you don't wanna be.
I'll probably be here for years and years.
For the rest of my life
probably but I'm okay with it.
You know?
You can't look me in the eye and tell me
that you'd be okay living
here 10 years from now.
And that right there is enough.
- [Crispin] You know what the problem is?
- What?
- I'm just not a closer.
- Well I'm not gonna kiss you goodnight.
Get out of my fucking car.
- [Crispin] All right.
Easy.
Later, dude.
(gentle music)
- Guys, we are fucked.
Geez, we're fucked.
- Mattan, dude, we're fine.
You can go one day without meatballs.
- Whoa, easy goes it.
- I'm out, bitches.
I got enough fucking signatures.
All Star Donuts is coming back.
Gotta get my ass to the meeting.
- [Johnny] Mattan.
Dude, you know what?
Fucking leave, okay.
You give me anxiety.
Jesus.
- All right, I'll see you all later.
- You don't know that.
- [Johnny] You don't know that, Sierra.
- [Sierra] Yeah, yeah.
- Hey.
You good to close?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
(soft music)
- I'm really fucking
glad you're leaving, man.
(soft music)
- Okay.
(soft music)
- [Johnny] I'm out.
(bright music)
- You know even with you leaving,
still gonna like this place.
- Still got a little bit to get rid of me.
- Yeah.
It's honestly probably
good that you're leaving
because this place is better brainless.
- Why do people keep handing me joints?
- Yeah, yeah.
You wouldn't know.
You know.
Jordan and I.
We used to hang out here all the time.
We had those.
Those little club baseball meetings
where everybody gets a trophy,
even fucking Franklin Zhang
who only played one game
before he broke his nose
from missing the ball.
Oh.
Hell, we both had our
first vaginal experiences
back behind the old spot.
I mean, it was both of our first jobs.
(gentle music)
I like it here.
(gentle music)
You're gonna smoke that or fuck it?
(gentle music)
(bright music)
- I'm telling you guys I
don't see it as a defeat.
It's more like a round two.
- Yeah, against a whole
different opponent.
You lost entirely.
- Yeah but my new opponent is myself.
Don't you see, Anthony?
Once I can defeat myself,
then I can defeat Rachel.
Besides, once we get that new place,
man girls love that shit.
Will be weird without you though, Crispin,
but you can come over whenever you want.
- Have you even tried with another girl?
- Come over whenever I want?
You moved closer to me.
You moved into town.
- I don't need another girl.
We already talked about this.
- Yeah and you have no excuse
not to come over all the time, Crispin.
- He knows that.
He just doesn't want to pay rent.
(bright music)
Rachel wouldn't need to pay rent.
- All right.
I'm out of here.
I got homework to avoid.
You coming?
- Yup.
- What are you doing?
- I honestly have no idea.
- Figures.
Peace.
(bright music)
- Wait a sec.
(bright music)
- Doesn't that burn?
- Yup.
But not as much as it does
have to see your face everyday,
but I don't have to
anymore so life is good.
You know what?
I'ma take another one.
Mm, that one actually does burn.
Bye, babe.
- Fuck.
(bright music)
- Look at that.
Your last pizza.
(bright music)
I can't even look at that.
That's too sad.
Whoa, can't even look at you.
It's too sad.
It's too sad, Shades.
Too sad.
(bright music)
(soft music)
- Hey Crisp.
- Hey Sierra.
- Congratulations.
- On what?
- You're out of here.
- Oh yeah.
- I actually won 20 bucks
from Shades because of you.
- How?
- He said you'd be here over a year
and I told him there was no way.
- What made you go under it?
- Because I met you.
I knew there was no way.
- You mean I can't keep a job?
- No.
Well, yes.
Not this one.
(soft music)
- Did you ever bet on yourself?
- Of course.
I always said that I would
be here under a year,
but I lost that a year ago.
But I doubled down and this time
Shades says I was gonna
be here under a year.
- What made you go above?
- I've got more than a year left here.
- Yeah right.
Not if you don't help
me restock this fridge.
You have less than a day.
- Okay.
All right.
(soft music)
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- Dude, have you seen Shades
put food in his mouth?
It's ridiculous.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Wow.
Okay, okay.
Shades.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Holy shit.
- What?
Goddammit.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [Shades] This kid?
Seriously?
- Guys, we working or are we working?
- Shut up.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- Whoa.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- Garza.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Shoot.
- I know.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Pinball wizard over here.
Oh, that's okay.
You got two left.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- All right, Crispin,
last day on the job, huh.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [Lloyd] Yes, yes, yes, yes.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Nice.
Halfway there, man.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [Anthony] It's time for our final pizza.
- Last free pizza anyway.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Damn, Crispin.
Yeah.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
All right.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [Shades] It's okay, you got one more.
One more, buddy.
(dramatic music)
Hit it.
There you go, there you go.
Hit it.
- [Lloyd] All right.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- Come on, come on, come on.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- Yeah, Crispin.
Nice.
Woo.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Yes.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [Anthony] Together, dude.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [Shades] Come on, come on, come on.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [All] Aw.
- [Lloyd] God.
- [All] Whoa.

- Fuck.
Fuck it.
Hey.
- How you doing today?
- Good, what can I get for you?
- I have a reservation with Mattan
or an interview with Mattan.
- An interview?
- Yeah.
- Really?
Mattan.
- Lloyd, seriously what have I told you
about yelling in front of customers?
- I'm not yelling.
- Hi, Crispin?
- Yes, that's right.
- [Mattan] Right, how's it going?
- Good.
- Couple of questions.
Have you ever made a pizza?
- No, I've never actually made one,
but I'm a quick learner.
- Second question.
Have you ever had a job?
- No, this would be my first
one if I were to get it.
- I'll get you a shirt.
- Wait, what do you mean a shirt?
- A tee shirt like that.
He doesn't know what
tee shirts are, Mattan.
(bright music)
- Hey hon, did you eat?
I haven't had time to go
to the grocery store yet,
but I know we have some salami
and that bread you like.
- Yeah, yeah, I got the job.
- You did?
I'm so excited for you.
Oh by the way, have you called your dad?
He needs help.
- Fantastic.
I gotta go.
I'm gonna be late.
- Okay, bye, I love you.
- Love you, too.
(upbeat music)
Oh God, could you be...
- [Anthony] Don't.
(upbeat music)
Of course I dropped it.
It was at eight, Crispin.
- [Crispin] I think that officially means
you've dropped more class
than you've been to.
- It's just unnatural for
me to get up that early.
There's nothing I can do about it.
It's before my normal waking cycle.
- What the fuck is a waking cycle?
- It's before my normal
waking cycle, Crispin.
What don't you understand about that
and what am I even supposed to do?
I wake up, I'm clueless.
I'm literally pointless in class.
I get in.
I get it to the desk.
I finally get to my desk.
Literally, get there, sit down,
and then it's just over for me.
That's it for the rest of the time.
- Fuck, I'm gonna be late.
- Oh Crispin, you going
to The Ridge tonight?
- Why, so we can stand around
and look through our phone
in hopes we can find a girl
bored enough to blow us
in the backseat of your car
that we don't even fit into
only to find that they can't come
'cause they're busy blowing the one guy
that didn't answer our phone calls?
- Yeah, but there's still
that wonderful chance.
- Yeah, I'll see you there.
(soft music)
- Since then, she's texted
me a total of three times.
That means three out of three times,
she wanted to talk to me first.
She also liked 13 of my photos
and I didn't like a single one of hers.
- Whoa bro, 13.
That's an unlucky number, man.
- No, that means I won.
- No, no you lost.
For sure.
- No, she's crawling back to me.
- No, if you texted her
'cause you're a guy,
you'd be crawling back yeah,
but she's a girl and she texted you first,
which means she's like a better person
for staying in contact with you.
- [Jason] Well, I always did
think she was a better person.
- I never texted a girl first in my life.
- Shut up, Tim.
You don't like Harry Potter.
You lost your right to speak.
- Yeah, plus you don't text 'em.
They just appear in your room.
- Yeah, they just disapparate right in.
You don't what that is because
you don't like Harry Potter.
Fuck you, Tim.
- Anthony, you can watch Harry Potter
all night once we get that new place.
- [Crispin] New place?
- Yeah, we got one on
Deerfield, Culver, Yale.
Oh, and the one by Frank's old place.
- Oh yeah, I like that one.
- [Crispin] Dude, what the fuck?
Those are all in the same city.
- Well I can't leave the city.
I got school and why do you even care?
- I mean, I can't leave 'cause of Rachel.
- You don't even have any
more classes left to drop.
- Transfer.
- Oh man.
You really don't think I won though?
- Yo.
Not a single girl coming.
(gentle music)
- [Shades] What?
What are you doing?
What?
What are you doing?
Look, stop, stop, stop.
You just.
It's sad.
It really is sad watching you do this.
Look, you ever seen "Goodfellas?"
You know the part where
Joe Pesci stabs the guy?
Well you just gotta get in
there like that, like that.
Like that.
And you're done.
You're officially off your period.
- How have you been here longest again?
- [Shades] How do your face look
like the genitals of everybody...
- You know we make pizza right?
- [Mattan] Crispin.
- We make pizza.
- [Mattan] Come with me.
- P-I-Z-Z-A.
- I wanna teach you how to
run the front, all right?
This girl right here, she
needs a little loving.
- [Lloyd] You treat her
like a lady, Mattan.
Like a lady.
- All right, one more time.
A little nudge.
(cash register beeping)
There you go.
Hello sir.
- How old are those?
- They've been out for a bit,
but we can always warm 'em
up in the oven if you like.
- How long is a bit?
- Well, I'm not exactly sure
how long they've been out,
but it can't have been a long time.
Do you want a slice, sir?
- Yeah, two cheese and is
there a bathroom around here?
- Unfortunately we do not, sir,
but if you go across the parking lot,
there's one in Yogurt World.
- [Lloyd] Fuck Yogurt World.
(bright music)
- All right.
- Thanks.
- Oh my God.
Have these orders been made?
(bell chiming)
(gentle music)
- [Crispin] Hello, how
can I help you today?
- I ordered a pizza for delivery
two and a half hours ago
and it still hasn't come.
- I am so sorry.
- I want my money back.
Now.
- That shouldn't be a problem.
Let me just run and get
a manager real quick.
- What, they don't teach everyone
how to open the register?
27.95, that's how much you owe me.
Just open the register, pull
it out and give it to me.
- Just let me grab a manager.
It's my first day and I don't wanna...
- You know what, nah.
If you need your manager that
bad, I'll just go get him.
- Wait, what do you mean?
What do you mean get him?
- [Shades] Sup, Sierra?
- [Sierra] Shades.
- [Shades] All right, later.
- [Crispin] Okay, so you work here?
- [Sierra] Yeah.
- [Crispin] Okay.
What was your name?
I didn't...
- Sierra.
And don't worry I can
handle the front now.
- Oh got you.
Nice meeting you and well played, Sierra.
(bright music)
- [Anthony] You ain't big.
You ain't big.
- Oh yeah I am.
- [Anthony] You ain't big.
You ain't big.
- Guess what.
It's back on with Rachel.
- So you're gonna pretend
that's still a thing?
- So she's grabbing stuff
out of my car, right.
She comes across this flashlight.
She grabs the flashlight, hands it to me,
and our hands touch, right?
And at first I don't really notice it,
but then I realize she could've grabbed
that flashlight at any point,
but she chose to grab it right
where I was naturally gonna grab it.
- Are you serious?
You just bumped hands.
That doesn't mean shit.
- I'm serious as syphilis, Crispin.
It didn't have to be a flashlight.
It could've been anything.
That's not important.
What's important was the intention.
- [Adam] Yo, what's up, guys?
- What up?
- Is that Northwood Pizza?
- Yup.
- Why, why?
Why did you get Northwood Pizza?
- Well to get a discount from you.
- I told you even if I'm
there, which I'm not,
I can't get you a fucking
discount yet, dude.
- It's all good.
I got one from this hot chick Sara anyway.
- [Crispin] Ah, Sierra.
- Hey Adam.
If Rachel touched my hand on purpose
when she was giving me something,
does that mean it's back on?
- [Adam] Congratulations.
- Case in point.
You got the same opinion as Adam.
Anthony, you're fucking awful.
- I'm the best there ever was.
- So, every move a woman makes
is methodically planned out.
Nine out of 10 times
they're days ahead of us.
They don't just do things.
- [Crispin] False.
Even more false than
your stupid flashlight.
- Every move is planned out.
If I was aware of it,
she was too, you know.
Her touching my hand today is probably
setting up something months from now.
- You know he's right.
- Adam, who even told you
we were here right now?
- [Anthony] Ow.
- Oh wait, wait.
Are you okay?
- Oh yeah, I just gotta go.
I got.
I got parents.
They got things.
- Find a nickel.
- Fuck you, Adam.
- Can I bum?
Bum a stoge off you.
- Yeah dude, no problem.
- A stoge.
A stoge art.
Humphrey Stogart.
I didn't like it either.
Give me that.
Okay.
Here you go.
You know what really traps my ass, man?
- What's that?
- So, I'm talking to this girl, right.
Text her.
It's nothing serious.
It's brand new.
She's pretty cute, I guess.
Sent me a picture, some emojis.
I sent her back some emojis.
It's nothing serious.
We know nothing about each
other at this point, okay.
Nothing.
I know nothing about her.
So we're talking.
- Hey, brother.
Think I can bum a cigarette?
- Yeah, of course, dude.
In fact, take two so you
can like the first one more.
- Appreciate it.
(energetic music)
- Where is Shades?
He always does this and
then I have to do his work.
- Hey Mattan.
- [Mattan] Hey.
Where is Shades?
Oh my God, has this freezer
been unplugged all day?
- So, we're talking, right.
I'm trying to figure out exactly
what kind of woman this girl is, you know.
Is she smart?
Is she a bitch?
Is she gonna do my taxes for me?
These are the things I
need to know as a person.
So, the thing is I actually
know how to find this out.
I know exactly how to find this out.
- How do you find that out?
- One simple all informative
question, Crispin.
- What's your favorite "Star Wars" movie?
(bright music)
- Yeah, that's exactly right.
How did you know that?
- It's obvious.
- Did we just become lovers?
(bell chiming)
That means you gotta go help them.
- Oh.
- What have you been here a week?
Go, come on.
Go.
- How can I help you today, sir?
- Hey, I put an order in not too long ago.
It's probably not ready.
I'm here pretty early.
- Yeah, no problem at all.
What was your name?
- Hayden.
- So anyway.
I asked her the question.
- Shades, you son of a bitch.
Where are you?
I can't believe you're
pulling this shit again.
It's a disaster down here.
- [Shades] It's Thursday.
- It is Thursday.
And you don't work Thursday.
- [Shades] Bye.
(bright music)
- And what'd she say?
- [Crispin] All right man, here you go.
Here's your pizza.
- [Lloyd] "Attack of the Clones".
- "Attack of the Clones".
On purpose?
Like actually?
- Actually sent me that text.
That was a thing that happened?
She picked a prequel.
That's already bad enough.
I can deal with the other two.
It's fine.
They're all right.
But "Attack of the Clones".
It's actually like she kind of like
purposely tried to piss you off.
- I'm really sorry about that.
That was unnecessary and
I'm sorry about the pizza.
Thanks, guys.
- Wow.
That was actually pretty cool.
(gentle music)
- Eight.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
Ha, I win again.
Losers clean up.
- [Man] Oh, but you guys, lag is horrible.
(energetic music)
- Crispin, thank God.
Listen.
I got orders out the ass
and I'm the only fucking person here.
Can you do a delivery for me?
- Like now?
- Yes, like now, like right now.
Like right goddamn now.
Can you do a delivery for me?
- Yeah, I mean.
- Okay, good, take it here.
The address is on there.
Just go, okay.
Just go, you'll be fine.
- My car's out of gas.
- Sh, sh, sh, sh.
Shut the fuck up, okay.
Go, good. - Okay.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Most important thing, okay.
You get the money first and
then you give 'em the pie, okay.
Money first.
- Money first.
- Then the pie.
You got it? - Yeah.
- Make me proud.
(upbeat music)
- [Customer] Yeah, come in.
Just put it on the counter.
I'll be out in a sec.
- Cool, this counter's fine?
- [Customer] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just anywhere.
How much do I owe you?
- That'll be 27.95.
- [Customer] No, all right.
I can't fucking go five
times in a row, all right.
A man needs fucking juice, okay.
Finally, Jesus fucking Christ.
- Frank?
Adam's friend.
We like went to school together and stuff.
- Oh, Christian.
What's up, man?
Look at you.
You got like chin hair and shit.
Get over here.
Come here, baby.
Let me.
Aw yeah.
Ooh, dude.
I like that.
- Yeah, dude, I didn't
know you moved back.
- Moved back?
Baby, I never left.
- [Woman] He left?
- No, I said that I never left.
- [Woman] Oh because (speaks
in foreign language).
Fuck you.
- What?
- [Woman] Ugh, you're deaf.
- No, I'm not deaf.
That I didn't hear everything you say.
- What the fuck did you say?
- That I don't listen to anything you say.
- [Woman] One more fucking time.
- If I listened to
everything that you said,
my ears would fucking rot.
- Everything I said.
You just said anything I said.
- So?
- You know what, Frank?
You're a fucking coward.
You know that?
You're always backing down.
- Yeah 'cause you're
fucking manlier than me.
Look at you with those fucking
gigantic gigantour
fucking boobs everywhere
just flailing around
like you own the place.
- Honestly, do you mind
if I just grab the money?
- [Woman] Do you mind...
- Not a problem at all.
- [Woman] Say that one more fucking time.
- Whoa.
I didn't know I was fucking a
broken record this whole time.
- Is that what you call fucking?
- Honestly, if I can just
grab the money and go,
wouldn't be a big deal.
- Fucking hate you.
- Fuck you.
- Get the fuck over here.
Get the fuck over here.
Fuck, yeah baby.
- [Woman] Woo.
Oh Frank.
Oh.
(bright music)
- Hey.
Did you get it?
(bright music)
Is this the tip?
(soft music)
- Nice wheels.
Car itself looks like it
barely made it here though.
- Oh these ones?
It made it though because
I put hamsters in it.
- Oh.
- And that's why it made it here.
- Knew it was something about the wheels.
Turns out it was the animal
cruelty I was attracted to.
- You know, animal cruelty.
It's American way.
Can I use your lighter?
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
- Good.
You get it.
Cigarettes with white
filters are not cigarettes.
- Well of course.
Just like pterodactyls aren't dragons.
- That seems rehearsed.
- No, it is.
I don't get out much.
I sit around and I just make these
elaborate scenarios in my head.
I play 'em out and then I memorize them
and I just hope to God
that it happens one day.
- I blame the 2000s.
- What year were you born?
- 95.
Do you consider yourself
a 90s kid or a 2000s kid?
- I don't know.
What age do you have to
be during which decade?
- I don't know for sure
but everyone from Woodstock
says they're from the 60s and
they were like fucking 20.
- Okay, so we're from the 2000s.
- [Crispin] Boom of the internet.
- That's right.
I'm definitely from the
AOL and Myspace era.
- Does that mean we're from the generation
of first failed attempts?
- You don't seem like you are.
Hey Garza.
Got some allergies there?
Your eyes look a little red.
- I'm stoned.
You know what really chaps my ass?
- What's that?
- [Garza] They're gonna
shut down All Star Donuts.
- What?
The one by Antonio's and
the fucking Chinese place?
- Yeah.
- That's a shame.
- No, I know.
Sickening.
Absolutely sickening.
- It's at an ass chapping.
- [Garza] It is.
It is.
(soft music)
- Mattan.
- Did you put the orders
in for the tomatoes yet?
(upbeat music) (bell chiming)
- Fuck.
- Hey Lloyd.
- Hey Crispin.
- How's it hanging?
- Long, hairy, and hard to carry, man.
- Fuck, man.
Yeah, I've been meaning
to ask you actually.
What's up with the picture
by the pinball machine?
- Oh that.
That's the danger.
- Everyone knows the legend, Crispin.
- Yeah, that AJ guy worked here years ago.
Then he stopped working, grabbed this,
set a new high score, walked out,
and no one's seen him since.
Or beat his stupid score.
- What's his score?
- 79,812 that fucker scored.
Every single person whose ever worn
a Northwood Pizza tee
shirt has tried to beat it.
No one's even come close.
- How hard could that shit be?
It's a pinball machine.
- You asking that proves you're not ready.
None of us on the same
level as the danger.
Be the stupid fucking shiny ball.
Okay.
- How do I not know about this danger?
- "The" danger and I have no clue.
It's actually very sad.
(soft music)
Have you heard that they're opening
a Five Guys down the street?
Supposedly the first
one on the left coast.
- Oh, I had not heard that actually
and please don't ever
fucking say left coast again.
(soft music)
- [Sierra] Yeah, it's supposed
to be really, really good.
- Is it now?
- Mm hm, I really wanna try it.
- Yeah, that sounds interesting.
I would try that.
- Actually you wanna try
it with me this weekend?
- I can't.
Or what?
I totally can.
I don't know why I said.
Yeah, I can do that next weekend.
- All right, but of course
I won't be paying for you.
(soft music)
- Yeah.
Ah.
Are you serious?
All right, it's on.
(bright music)
- So the other week I went
to this modern art museum.
I'm gonna be honest.
I didn't get it.
I didn't get a lot of it.
- Yeah.
- There was just a lot of
it is just random painting.
- [Crispin] I got pizza.
- [Jason] Awesome.
- Jesus, about time.
- I only got like five minutes.
- All right, well let's talk about it.
I was right.
Girls know exactly what they're doing.
- Yeah, they do.
- 100 bucks says you blew it.
You've never been a closer.
- What do you mean I'm not a closer?
What does he mean I'm not a closer?
- [Jason] It's okay.
Some girls like awkward.
- What do you mean awkward?
- Off the top of my head
there's Caroline, Lindsay.
- Claire.
Thank you, Jason.
- Why, why?
- [Jason] Come on.
- Are you mad at me?
Did I do something?
- Well you got cum on Alicia's dog
and you didn't even get her undressed.
- That's disgusting.
How do you even do that?
- And then you puked on Julia
and you weren't even drunk at that time.
I don't know how you do that.
- So I don't get sushi.
- Oh, oh.
And then you start
hitting on Jocelyn's mom.
- Okay in my defense, I
honestly thought it was Jocelyn,
so it's not as creepy as you think it is.
- They do look like the same from behind.
- Yeah, it's a simple mistake.
I'd make the same mistake, too.
- Rahim, we do one slice.
Not two.
- We spoke about this.
I get one slice before.
- Rahim, just give me the homework.
- No, I'm not giving you.
Why don't you do the homework?
- Well then I'd have to
go to class to do that.
- Great.
- Ah, so you admit it.
You don't go to class.
You have no excuses not to move.
- Oh please.
I got tons of classes and
I found all the places.
- The places you found are
down the fucking street.
I can see one from here right now.
- Why do you even wanna move?
It's like you're never even
happy with where you are.
- That's really deep.
Wow.
I wish I'd thought of that.
- Rahim, what are you even doing here?
(speaking in foreign language)
- What's (speaks in foreign language)?
What is that?
You say that to me all the time.
I don't speak Spanish.
- Oh, you have a visitor.
- Hey, Jason.
I was just wondering what
you were doing later.
If maybe you wanted to go get some boba.
- Jennifer, we already talked about this.
You know where my heart belongs.
I'm not gonna get boba with you.
- Jennifer.
It's a lovely dress you're wearing.
Maybe he's a little stubborn.
Maybe I can take you to boba sometime.
Jennifer.
- [Jennifer] Just stop it.
- Jennifer, just to
make him jealous maybe.
- Okay, that's it.
I'm not listening to you about anything.
You're the new advice man.
- Jason, what are you doing?
Get in there.
- My heart belongs to Rachel.
They know this.
- I gotta get back to work.
Fuck you, guys.
- Whatever, man.
- I get a slice.
- No.
- Yeah, I get a slice.
- No.
- Well who's gonna eat it?
- Not you.
(bright music)
- Yeah, I've been there for
like two years now I think.
It's not the worst job you can get.
Probably better than most places.
- Except for Mattan's
perpetual panic attacks.
- [Sierra] Ugh, right.
Actually gives me anxiety.
- [Crispin] No, they're a nightmare.
- [Sierra] As nightmarish as you eating
slower than lettuce grows?
- [Crispin] Okay just 'cause I
don't inhale my fucking food.
- [Sierra] Okay.
- [Crispin] No, did you hear that music?
I can't eat when that shit's playing.
- [Sierra] You don't like some
good old death metal while you eat?
Are you human?
- [Crispin] There's a time
and there's a place for
everything I believe,
but when I'm eating a nice meal,
just don't want someone
fucking yelling at me.
- I guess I didn't really take
you for a metal head anyway.
More of a violent
gangster rap kind of guy.
- Is it that obvious?
- I can see it in your eyes.
- Okay, what type are you then?
- Death metal.
- That makes sense.
- That makes sense?
- Yeah, you know, you just
look like you're a person
that is hiding like four
or five tattoos now.
Right now.
- Maybe I am.
Do you have any?
- Yeah, I have fucking this
one, but I'm not happy with it
and I don't think I
could ever get one again.
Actually, you know what?
I think there is one power
in this world strong enough
to get me to get another tattoo.
- What's that?
- Pussy.
- Yeah you know, it's like
our eighth time hanging out.
We're enjoying each other's company.
Having some laughs and then bam.
She can now scar my body forever.
- Okay, so seven hangouts from
now, we're getting a tattoo.
Excellent.
Where would you get it?
- That's the worst part.
I don't know why but I
kinda like need it here.
So no matter what I get,
I'm like 95% sure it's just womanly.
- A little bit, yeah.
- Yeah.
Plus, I'm pretty sure
my dad would actually
have a stroke and fall over.
- Do you live with both your parents?
- I don't actually.
They got divorced when
I was five I wanna say.
- Yeah, mine got divorced
when I was young, too.
My mom cheated on my dad.
- No shit.
- My dad cheated on my mom so.
- Do you have any siblings?
- I do actually.
I have a little sister.
Well she's actually from a different dad.
He died before she was born.
Pretty sure my mom actually
talked to him to death.
(soft music)
- [Sierra] You blaze, yeah?
- Does the Pope shit in the woods?
Yeah.
It's a yeah.
Yeah, I blaze.
- Goddammit.
Every time I take the first hit,
all the shit I have to do
comes rushing to the front.
- It's only natural, but you just gotta
smoke through that shit.
Embrace the numbness.
- Yeah.
- No, I assume it's all school stuff.
- Yup, of course.
- Where you sentenced?
- Fucking OCC.
How 'bout you?
- Fucking IVC.
- How's that?
- Oh, it's purgatory.
You just sit there and burn off sins.
- Like this whole place?
- Yeah, like this whole place.
But honestly the worst part,
I'm really bad at school.
Snapple facts.
- No.
You've not seen bad.
I am the worst.
I just would rather do
anything else, you know.
Like draw or read or write even.
- That's the worst part.
I'm not bad at school 'cause I'm like busy
like reading or writing or
doing something like painting
or laying in a field even.
I just fucking sit on a couch,
look at some form of a glowing box.
Be it a phone, computer, TV, whatever.
And I just archive
shitty ideas that I hear,
so I can just fucking
regurgitate them whenever I want.
So I'm pretty sure I'm just a burnout
that has yet to burnout.
- That just sounds like an excuse
to lay back and be a burnout.
- It is.
Like everything I say is an excuse.
In fact, everything
everyone says is an excuse.
God, I just realized
how douchey that sounds
and how douchey the word douchey is.
I'm so sorry.
You could probably have
the rest 'cause I'm done
'cause no thing good is coming from here.
- You're fine.
I don't do anything either.
So, pretty soon we can get one step closer
to getting you a tattoo.
- [Crispin] You play your cards right.
- [Sierra] I'm a lady.
I'm always carefully picking my cards.
- Well, I just killed a roly poly.
That was a mistake.
(bright music)
Yo, Jason.
Yeah no, I just got off right now.
I'll meet you there.
What do you mean you're already there?
That doesn't even make any sense.
You know how weird that is?
No, that's cool, man.
I can drive myself and meet you there.
- Hey Crispin.
Have you seen my hat?
- Hold on, Jason.
No, that ugly one that you always wear?
No, not you, Jason.
- So have you seen it?
- No, I haven't seen it.
- I really need to find it so I could...
Fuck.
- Are you okay, Lloyd?
No, not you, Jason.
You're never okay.
Yeah no, I can drive myself.
Don't worry.
(upbeat music)
- All right Crispin,
where do you wanna live?
- Fuck, I don't know, man.
Anywhere.
- Here's anywhere.
- Well yeah, anywhere except here.
- It's not that bad.
Oh, cut the shit.
How'd it go with Sara?
- Sierra.
- That well, huh?
- It went all right.
We didn't fuck or anything
so I got nothing to report.
- Dude, come on.
I don't wanna hear
about that stuff anyway.
- All right, fine.
We talked about nothing and it was fun.
It was nice.
It was pleasant.
- Pleasant?
- Fine, we talked about nothing
and it was the best
conversation I've ever had.
- Oh shit.
Sorry man, I thought I saw Rachel.
- So you just read?
- Yeah, she likes guys that read.
- But you're sitting here
with a person having a conversation.
You don't you know.
- Okay, yeah well now you're
arguing logic with emotion.
You can't do that, man.
They don't mix.
Come on.
So, are you gonna see her again?
- Yeah, she said she wanted to.
- Whoa wait.
She asked you to hang out?
Oh Crispin, that's awesome.
That's such good news, man.
Or it means absolutely nothing.
You know, I can't be sure unless I saw
exactly how she said it.
- Well she said soon.
I don't know.
- She touch your hands?
- [Crispin] Yeah.
- She stare at you when you talk?
- Yeah.
- There was a moment of
comfortable silence, wasn't there?
- There was.
- [Jason] She make fun
of how slow you eat?
- She did actually.
Fuck, you're good at this.
- I know, I know.
She make any future plans with
you other than hanging out?
Be it sarcastic or not?
- Yeah, she mentioned a tattoo.
- Oh, oh, Crispin.
Congratulations, dude, you got it.
You're money, man.
Come on, now don't listen
to what the other guys say
or what Anthony says about her.
You got yourself a strong bite.
- I don't know, man.
I really just don't think she likes me.
What do you mean what Anthony
and all them say about her?
- Okay, Crispin, you gotta stop
with this sad little man shit, okay.
Come on, she touched your hand.
Physical contact means physical interest.
She stared you in the face
when you were talking to her, right?
So imagine you're out on this trail.
There's all this beautiful scenery
and she chooses you to look at.
You know?
And comfortable silence means she was
actually listening to
you, not just hearing you.
Nobody listens nowadays.
- You just make this shit up as you go
or is it like it's stored in your head?
- Come on, she was
playfully making fun of you.
What do you do when you play with someone?
You have fun, right?
She was having fun.
And the tattoo thing means
that she imagined a future with you.
You know, it may have been
incredibly short term,
but she still imagined it.
- I don't know, man.
That's quite a bit of assumptions to make.
- Dude, I know exactly
what I'm talking about.
Also, Anthony found this
new place up on Yale.
That's anywhere.
- We can check it out, I guess but.
Yeah also, I really don't think
she could possibly like me.
There's no chance in fucking hell, dude.
You have a guest.
- [Tiffany] Hey.
- [Jason] Hey.
Tiffany, no.
Come on, you know where my heart belongs.
Maybe you should go see
what Anthony's doing.
- Definitely gonna listen
to you from now on.
- Yeah right.
- [Tiffany] Fuck you.
- I don't know if I deserve that.
(bright music)
- [Johnny] The fuck you
doing sitting around?
- It's broken.
- Oh.
Sweet.
In that case.
Mattan finds out about
this, you're fucking fired.
- Why the hell can you do it?
- 'Cause who's gonna fire me?
- Mattan.
- Which is why you're not gonna tell him.
(bell chiming)
Fuck.
Hi fucking.
Welcome to Northwood Pizza.
Sorry about that, man.
Having a bit of crazy night.
- Nope.
- Well it's good to see
you find your hat at least.
- It's your first job, yeah?
- Is it yours?
- Yup.
Hopefully the last one.
- What you wanna own this place?
- Yeah.
Yeah, and first order a business,
no more fucking white people.
- Like in general?
Just.
- Yeah, just all of 'em.
No more fucking full grown men coming in
ordering just a plain cheese pie.
It's just fucking embarrassing
to make, you know.
You are late.
- You are fired.
- You can't fire me.
- I get paid more.
Hey, Crispin.
- Thought that was like
a joke thing at first,
but I'm starting to get concerned.
How much you get paid exactly?
Don't answer that.
No, answer it.
- $9.
- Shades.
Fucking Crispin makes $9 here?
What the fuck bullshit is that?
- [Shades] Lloyd, watch
your fucking mouth.
I'm with a customer.
You fucking idiot.
That was two salads and.
- You know you're never supposed
to tell him how much you make?
You've upset the order.
- I figured that and I will
comply with the consequences.
- Noble, but your punishment
will still be extreme.
- Cut the shit.
What happened with Lloyd's?
- Hat?
That has to do with Jordan.
- [Crispin] Jordan?
- Yeah, they were like
inseparable in high school.
They won state or something in football.
Were going to the same college
and got the same offers
and they were family friends
and the whole duo package.
- So what, they get in
a fight or something?
- No.
He died senior year.
They were both in the car.
So, the hat is Jordan's.
- [Shades] What the fuck are you doing?
- Fuck you, Shades.
You owe me this.
- Fuck are you?
Tell you the truth, I
don't even fucking care.
(gentle music)
- [Sierra] All right,
anyone whose driven by
and seen us in this cheesy ass setting.
- Don't look at me.
I don't control nature.
Oh, I got one.
My first driver license instructor.
The guy that gave me the test.
I don't know what to call him.
- That bad?
- I hit a deer, yeah.
- What?
What did you do like take
your test in the woods?
- No, that was the worst part.
It was the first deer on
record in that whole city.
- Oh my god.
- And I fucking killed it.
- That's just that's not even your fault.
You can't.
- I don't know why you're laughing.
It's not funny.
- I'm sorry.
Okay.
My high school admissions counselor.
- Mm, low SATs scores?
- No, I killed the SAT, please.
- Oh.
Are we about to get real dark right now?
Like some weird high school shit.
Is that?
- No, she just got me into
a four year and I didn't go.
- What do you mean didn't?
Like on purpose?
What do you mean?
- I just I didn't.
It wasn't my first or second
or third choice school
and just didn't go.
- Well hey, at least know
you could've got into one.
I didn't even try.
I didn't even fucking take the SAT.
- Yeah.
- Were you like were
you scared or something?
- Nothing.
- Oh okay.
- No, like literally nothing.
What if I wasted all that time
and just nothing happened?
Just ended up back here
with a piece of paper
and a lifetime of debt.
Like I just ended up switching
between sitting in an office
and sitting at a house and
all I had was this house
that I just tried to keep nice and empty
while I scribble on some paper
just wishing that I
could be in that house.
- Well I got bad news.
You picked the wrong place
to avoid doing nothing.
- Yeah, scares the shit out of me.
Like from here on life
is just about sitting.
We're just supposed to sit behind a desk
so that we can afford to sit in our cars
on our way to sit in a house
where if we're lucky we
can muster up the energy
to grab some friends and
sit in another building.
- I mean, you can lay down.
- You can lay down.
- Plus honestly, if all
there is to life is sitting,
we're doing that right now and
I'm cool with it, you know.
- Yeah, I guess I don't
really mind sitting with you.
I don't know what it is about you,
but I think you just understand more
than most people in this town.
- Oh god, no.
I know nothing.
I show up and I make a joke and I'm out.
- No.
You're not just a kind of funny guy to me.
- It's 'cause you smoked the shitty weed.
- Oh, take it back.
Not funny.
(gentle music)
No, I really like spending time with you.
- Now you're just coming off desperate.
- Shut the fuck up.
(soft music)

- In the dream I'm
sitting across from Rachel
in this viking canoe and it starts on fire
from like these fire arrows
that the archers are firing
on the sides of the river
and I realize we're about
to go off this waterfall and I'm trying
to jump off the canoe
but like she wants us
to die this beautiful...
- Oh gee, already?
- Fuck you want me to do, man?
I was working.
- [Adam] Yeah, you could
start by changing that shirt.
- Dude, why you only coherent
when you're being a fucking dick?
- Yeah, all right, that's the spirit.
- Adam's excited.
- You really should
change that shirt though.
This is Tim's kickback
we're talking about.
- He's probably right.
You should probably change your shirt.
- All right fuck, dude.
I'll change the shirt, Christ.
You have a shirt?
You're not gonna take me home.
I know it.
- Nope.
- Probably right.
I got the perfect one in my trunk.
- [Adam] All right, let's fucking go.
(bright music)
Come on.
- Man, that is a cool shirt, man.
- Yeah and if anything it'll be
a good icebreaker for Sierra.
- You're so money you don't even know it.
- You're money, dude.
- Fuck you, guys.
Let's go in.
(soft music)
(energetic music)
(crowd chattering)
- Oh fuck.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Rachel's here.
- We better drink.
- That's all I have to send.
Crispin.
Dude, what the fuck is
wrong with your shirt?
Do you see his shirt?
- Shut the fuck up, Rahim.
That's a beautiful goddamn shirt.
- It's floral.
- Who do you even know here?
- I know Tim.
Gave him my homework the other day.
He tried to copy it and he
still got the answers wrong.
I got 100.
- You gave your Tim your
homework and you make me beg?
- Yeah, I do.
I do make you beg.
- [Anthony] You whore.
- I'm not a whore.
You're a whore.
(gentle music)
(crowd chattering)
Yo, Brittany.
What's up?
(energetic music)
- [Woman] Excuse me.
(energetic music)
- Fuck, that's not
fucking happening, is it?
(energetic music)
Fuck that, I'm going in.
(energetic music)
Jason.
Oh and you are?
(energetic music)
- You okay, man?
- Yeah.
No.
I'm just gonna have to be a ghost tonight.
- I mean I can't really blame you.
- This is not good.
(energetic music)
- Well that didn't work at all.
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
- I believe we have evolved beyond
The means organically
provided by this earth.
Now, does that mean it's
the doom for us all?
Well, some might say yes.
But I.
I believe in miracles.
- See that pisses me off.
- Yeah, burn it with fire.
Oh my god.
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
- Here you go, Jason.
Are you having fun here?
Like I feel a little bit bad.
I didn't know she was gonna be here.
- [Jason] You know it's inevitable
at some point I'm gonna
have to talk to her.
- You know, if you want I'll
punch her right in the throat.
I'll do that.
You know, I'll do that for you.
- I want you to do it.
You know, Anthony, when
you finally flunk out,
you should be a professional wrestler.
(bright music)
- Are you gonna smoke that cigarette
or you just gonna fuck it?
(bright music)
- I don't know.
I guess he saw Rachel and
he's fucking on the run.
- I have no idea who that is,
but it makes perfect sense.

- Tim, you know Sierra, right?
Is she here?
She's like I think like this tall.
Blond hair, green eyes.
- It's a girl?
- [Crispin] Yeah.
- No, I don't know her.
Yeah, I know her.
Why?
I mean, she was around earlier.
- Earlier?
- Yeah, I saw her.
Why?
- I just I needed someone
to cover my shift.
That's all.
- I don't need people to cover my shift.

(bright music)
- Dude, I'm tell you
it's gonna fucking work.
- It's not gonna work.
- [Jason] Anything?
- [Crispin] Nah, I think she left.
- You know where Adam is by the way?
- Didn't he leave with
that fucking Cindy chick?
- Oh no, she left like
an hour ago with Adam.
Have you seen Sierra?
- Dude, don't worry about Sierra.
Man, you're good.
Just trust me on this one.
- [Crispin] What do you mean?
What the fuck are you talking about?
- Jason, go talk to that one over there.
- Oh dude, why do I always
have to talk to them first?
- I'm a bottom feeder, dude.
Come on, just be cool with it.
I'm cool with it.
Come on.
- Dude, it's never worked before.
Why the fuck would it work now?
- [Anthony] Because it's overdue.
- It's overdue.
- Oh shit.
There's Rachel.
Sorry guys, gotta go.
- That was fun.
- Where Jason goes, I go.
- Move, move, move.
Here.
- Oh my god, okay.
You, this place is winding down.
I'm thinking about
bouncing out of this joint.
Random girl X.
- Natalia.
- Natalia?
No fucking way.
Natalia.
Is anyone there?
I don't like being all alone
in this big empty house.
Just fucking just tell her to come here.
- No.
No.
- All right fine, fuck.
Here's what you do.
You just say anything you want.
She'll reply and the
conversation won't end.
And you'll do that a couple more times
and then just slide in
"Oh, I wish we could go to your house"
and she'll invite you over.
That's what you do.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
(bright music)
- So like.
Possibly afterwards we could do something.
- Tim, Rachel, how you doing?
- Good, how are you?
- Good, good.
Can I talk to you for a second?
I know it's weird, sorry.
But can he and I just?
- Yeah, sure.
- Real quick, what the
fuck are you doing, dude?
- It's Rachel.
- Yeah exactly, it's Rachel.
That's the whole Jason thing I was
talking about earlier in the kitchen.
- You know what?
It's cool.
Onto the next one.
- Okay cool.
(upbeat music)
- Well check this out.
Everything worked.
Like it just worked.
Gotta go.
- Good for you, man.
- Well he's got someone.
That's good.
- Hank, pull up your damn pants.
What's up, buddy?
- What is he talking about?
Hi.
I was wondering if I could give you
a ride home or something.
- Oh you know, I actually I
came with Anthony and Crispin.
All them.
So I think I'm just gonna.
- Okay well, you know I
know they have a full car,
so I mean you don't
have to drive with them
if you don't want to.
- Yeah I think I'm okay for tonight.
- Okay.
- [Jason] Yeah.
- All right.
Have a good night.
- Yeah, you too.
It's good to see you.
(upbeat music)
(crowd chattering)
(energetic music)
- Yo, yo, yo, yo.
Wait for Jason and then let's
get the fuck out of here.
Oh, as if on cue.
- You guys are not
gonna believe this shit.
- Wait.
You ready to go?
- Yeah absolutely.
Let's get the fuck out of here.
- All right well then let's go.
- But wait.
You guys, I just straight
up denied Rachel.
- Wait what?
- Shouldn't we get Adam
before we go though?
- No, no, fuck Adam.
Fuck Adam?
Fuck Adam.
(upbeat music)
- [Jason] Rachel.
- Women.
They always win.
Come on.
(upbeat music)
I 110% did not leave my lights on.
What the fuck?
What the fuck happened to you?
- Oh hey, boys.
- Are you even at the same
party we were just at?
- Take me home.
- [Anthony] Who the fuck are you?
- Well I'm Adam.
(gentle music)
- So can we agree we just
don't know who Adam is anymore?
- [Crispin] No clue.
- [Anthony] And that Jason was basically
asking for that tonight.
Nothing really happened for me.
Fuck Chang's really the only one
who came out on top tonight.
- What the fuck, man?
I don't get it.
Do you get it?
'Cause I don't fucking get it.
You know she originally wanted
to hang out with me you know.
Said she liked listening to me.
Fucking asked to see me again.
She even did that fucking thing
where she touched my hand
when she handed me a spoon
like Jason was talking about.
Fuck man, I just don't
understand like what I did wrong.
You know?
I thought it was going fun.
I thought we were having fun.
- [Anthony] Well, did you make the move?
- Nah I didn't make the move.
You know, I didn't want to.
Well I mean I wanted
to but I just wanted it
to be more than you know about just that.
I wanted that to be clear.
- Oh, you wanted it to be clear.
Well, did you tell her how you feel?
- Well no.
Not directly but you know.
She said she likes spending
time with me and I said I agreed
so I figured it was inferred.
- So let me get this straight.
You didn't make a move.
You didn't tell her how you feel.
You basically did nothing.
What the fuck did you
think was gonna happen?
- [Crispin] I don't know, man.
- Here's a question.
What would you have done
if you found Sierra alone
at that party tonight?
- [Crispin] I don't know.
(soft music)
- You know, I get it.
I really do.
It's a bummer, dude.
It really is but you can't do nothing
and expect something to happen.
Yeah, she's cool.
You know, I like her.
Cool chick but.
She's just another reason for you to stay.
- Another reason for me to stay?
- Yeah like you know we all
have our things keeping us here.
Like Jason will always love Rachel forever
and I'll probably stay at junior college
for the rest of my life.
And Adam can't go anywhere
he can't pass out at.
- So, it's not like I
have anything going on.
- [Anthony] Yes, you do.
Everyone knows it.
You have these antsy legs, man.
They just want you to get out there.
It drives me crazy that
you're still here but.
So, you're always asking
like when are we moving out?
When are we doing this?
Since when have you even cared?
And you got this job out of nowhere.
- [Crispin] So I got a fucking job.
There's no difference between
me and anyone else, man.
- Yes, there is.
There's such a difference.
You aren't anything like
me and you don't wanna be.
I'll probably be here for years and years.
For the rest of my life
probably but I'm okay with it.
You know?
You can't look me in the eye and tell me
that you'd be okay living
here 10 years from now.
And that right there is enough.
- [Crispin] You know what the problem is?
- What?
- I'm just not a closer.
- Well I'm not gonna kiss you goodnight.
Get out of my fucking car.
- [Crispin] All right.
Easy.
Later, dude.
(gentle music)
- Guys, we are fucked.
Geez, we're fucked.
- Mattan, dude, we're fine.
You can go one day without meatballs.
- Whoa, easy goes it.
- I'm out, bitches.
I got enough fucking signatures.
All Star Donuts is coming back.
Gotta get my ass to the meeting.
- [Johnny] Mattan.
Dude, you know what?
Fucking leave, okay.
You give me anxiety.
Jesus.
- All right, I'll see you all later.
- You don't know that.
- [Johnny] You don't know that, Sierra.
- [Sierra] Yeah, yeah.
- Hey.
You good to close?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
(soft music)
- I'm really fucking
glad you're leaving, man.
(soft music)
- Okay.
(soft music)
- [Johnny] I'm out.
(bright music)
- You know even with you leaving,
still gonna like this place.
- Still got a little bit to get rid of me.
- Yeah.
It's honestly probably
good that you're leaving
because this place is better brainless.
- Why do people keep handing me joints?
- Yeah, yeah.
You wouldn't know.
You know.
Jordan and I.
We used to hang out here all the time.
We had those.
Those little club baseball meetings
where everybody gets a trophy,
even fucking Franklin Zhang
who only played one game
before he broke his nose
from missing the ball.
Oh.
Hell, we both had our
first vaginal experiences
back behind the old spot.
I mean, it was both of our first jobs.
(gentle music)
I like it here.
(gentle music)
You're gonna smoke that or fuck it?
(gentle music)
(bright music)
- I'm telling you guys I
don't see it as a defeat.
It's more like a round two.
- Yeah, against a whole
different opponent.
You lost entirely.
- Yeah but my new opponent is myself.
Don't you see, Anthony?
Once I can defeat myself,
then I can defeat Rachel.
Besides, once we get that new place,
man girls love that shit.
Will be weird without you though, Crispin,
but you can come over whenever you want.
- Have you even tried with another girl?
- Come over whenever I want?
You moved closer to me.
You moved into town.
- I don't need another girl.
We already talked about this.
- Yeah and you have no excuse
not to come over all the time, Crispin.
- He knows that.
He just doesn't want to pay rent.
(bright music)
Rachel wouldn't need to pay rent.
- All right.
I'm out of here.
I got homework to avoid.
You coming?
- Yup.
- What are you doing?
- I honestly have no idea.
- Figures.
Peace.
(bright music)
- Wait a sec.
(bright music)
- Doesn't that burn?
- Yup.
But not as much as it does
have to see your face everyday,
but I don't have to
anymore so life is good.
You know what?
I'ma take another one.
Mm, that one actually does burn.
Bye, babe.
- Fuck.
(bright music)
- Look at that.
Your last pizza.
(bright music)
I can't even look at that.
That's too sad.
Whoa, can't even look at you.
It's too sad.
It's too sad, Shades.
Too sad.
(bright music)
(soft music)
- Hey Crisp.
- Hey Sierra.
- Congratulations.
- On what?
- You're out of here.
- Oh yeah.
- I actually won 20 bucks
from Shades because of you.
- How?
- He said you'd be here over a year
and I told him there was no way.
- What made you go under it?
- Because I met you.
I knew there was no way.
- You mean I can't keep a job?
- No.
Well, yes.
Not this one.
(soft music)
- Did you ever bet on yourself?
- Of course.
I always said that I would
be here under a year,
but I lost that a year ago.
But I doubled down and this time
Shades says I was gonna
be here under a year.
- What made you go above?
- I've got more than a year left here.
- Yeah right.
Not if you don't help
me restock this fridge.
You have less than a day.
- Okay.
All right.
(soft music)
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- Dude, have you seen Shades
put food in his mouth?
It's ridiculous.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Wow.
Okay, okay.
Shades.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Holy shit.
- What?
Goddammit.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [Shades] This kid?
Seriously?
- Guys, we working or are we working?
- Shut up.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- Whoa.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- Garza.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Shoot.
- I know.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Pinball wizard over here.
Oh, that's okay.
You got two left.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- All right, Crispin,
last day on the job, huh.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [Lloyd] Yes, yes, yes, yes.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Nice.
Halfway there, man.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [Anthony] It's time for our final pizza.
- Last free pizza anyway.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Damn, Crispin.
Yeah.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
All right.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [Shades] It's okay, you got one more.
One more, buddy.
(dramatic music)
Hit it.
There you go, there you go.
Hit it.
- [Lloyd] All right.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- Come on, come on, come on.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- Yeah, Crispin.
Nice.
Woo.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
Yes.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [Anthony] Together, dude.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [Shades] Come on, come on, come on.
(dramatic music) (bell chiming)
- [All] Aw.
- [Lloyd] God.
- [All] Whoa.
(dramatic music)
(group chattering)
(dramatic music)
(bright music)
