JeffIf you're gonna be a maniac, pyro's not a good maniac.
You try to do something nice, see what happens?
JeffYou get screwed.
You do one nice thing in your life. I assume it's the first nice thing you've ever done in your life.
JeffYou're so complimentary.
It would put you one up on me, if that's the case. Although, I did, once, try and stop a woman who was about to get hit by a car. I screamed out "Watch out!" and she said "Don't you tell me what to do!"
JeffAnd that's all it took to for you to stop helping people?
I got out of the "nice" business at that point.
Got any spare change?
JeffNah, I got nothing, man.
[hands him some leftovers] Want this?
What is it?
It's tuna.
I don't like tuna.
JeffHow did she die?
Killed herself.
JeffNo, she didn't.
Killed herself.
JeffWhy?
Nobody knows, she didn't leave a note. That is so rude, isn't it?
JeffThat's really rude.
I mean, if you leave your house for ten minutes to go get a container of milk, you tell somebody where you went.
JeffI let my wife know before I go anywhere.
Yeah. Would it have killed her to leave a note?
JeffYou gotta go.
What?
JeffYou gotta go.
The hell are you talking about?
JeffYou copped a feel off my mom, you gotta go.
Your mother thinks I touched her breast? That is so sick!
JeffIt's what she thinks. What can I say? Sweet dreams.
"Sweet dreams". I'll dream about fucking your mother. "Sweet dreams."
JeffDo me a favor. Let me take care of the sunglasses.
The sunglasses?
JeffGive them to me, let me take care of them.
You want me to give a gift now?
JeffYou gave it to her.
After this "entertaining" evening?
JeffC'mon, you gave it to her.
I don't think so. No.
JeffThat's called "Indian giving".
Yes, I know what it's called. It's a very racist term but I'm okay with that.
Hey, Jabroni, open the window.
I'm awfully sorry.
I didn't ask your opinion. I've got three kids in there scared to death because some bald-headed turd is shooting at them.
No, sir, we were playing Cowboys and Indians.
Have you heard of Columbine? It's idiots like you that cause this whole society to be going crazy with violence.
No, I'm not a violent...
Shut up! You know what you're looking at? You are looking at 245 pounds of steel and drop-your-bony-butt-to-the-curb appeal. I will body-slam you so hard that you will poop your bald pants. You hear me?
Yes, sir.
Don't you ever, ever, EVER point another finger at my kids again because if you do, I will break it off, and shove it up your sphincter. You hear me?
Yes, sir.
Remember earlier today you said that you owed me one?
JeffYeah, I owe you big.
I need to take you up on it.
JeffWow, okay, what?
Like, now, like, quickly.
JeffRight now.
Yeah.
JeffWhat?
I actually have a rather bizarre request.
JeffWhat?
I want you to go outside, there's a station wagon out there.
JeffWhat?
I want you to let the air out of somebody's tires. It says "14 THOR" on the license plate. It's a red station wagon, it's in front, you can't miss it.
Jeff"14 THOR," but why?
You said you owed me one.
JeffAll right, yeah, sure.
But you have to do it now, hurry up.
JeffAll right, you'll be here, right?
I'll be here, yeah. Thank you.
Hey, guys.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, how you doing?
Good, you?
Good, hey, listen, your dad's that wrestler, isn't he?
Yep.
Thor.
Larry Thor, yeah, yeah.
Big tall guy.
Well, listen, I got a little piece of information for you that might interest you. Wrestling's fixed.
What do you mean?
All the matches are set up beforehand. The winners are all pre-determined. It's completely illegitimate.
You mean it's fake?
Exactly: Fake. That's exactly the word I'm looking for. Dad's kind of a big fake. You know what he is? He's more of an actor than a wrestler.
Dad's an actor?
That's right. The whole thing's a big phony boloney. Everybody knows that. Nobody thinks it's real. Hey, you tell him the bald turd said hello, okay?
JeffSo, tomorrow night, you guys wanna go to dinner before part two?
Uhmm...
No.
Well, I do wanna go to part two.
No.
JeffYou gotta go to part two! You're a part of the ABC Family!
Yeah, we're definitely going to part two.
Yeah, but we're not going to dinner with you though.
We've already made plans.
We don't have any plans, we just don't wanna go to dinner with you.
Jesus Christ! My penis is itching!
JeffYou know what? You put that doll head down there and who knows what that hair is made out of. You've got a allergic reaction, I'm telling you.
Yeah, I think I got some kinda rash. I gotta check out my penis, I have to go to the doctor now? That's going to be a lot of fun; "Where'd you get the rash?" "Oh, I stuck a doll's head down my pants, Doctor. It feels good to me!"
[the cook, with Tourette's Syndrome, yells out]FUCKHEAD SHITFACED COCKSUCKER ASSHOLE SON OF A BITCH!
[everyone in the restaurant is silent]
[thinking back in his mind] Maybe someday I'll do something good for somebody like that. [yells out] SCUM SUCKING MOTHERFUCKING WHORE!
[everyone looks at Larry]
JeffCOCK, COCK! JIZZUM! GRANDMA! COCK! [gestures for someone else to continue]
BUM! FUCK! TURD! FART! CUNT! PISS! SHIT! BUGGER AND BALLS!
DAMN IT! HELL! CRAP! SHIT!
YOU GODFUCKINGDAMN MOTHERFUCKING BITCH!
[Susie walks in]
Fuck you, you car wash cunt! I had a dental appointment!
[storms out]
Fellatio, cunnilingus , french kissing! [there's a slight chuckle from the crowd which gets louder as the scene progresses] Rim job!
Crap, piss!
Fucking, fucking fuck fuck!
Schmuck, putz!
Pussy, pig fucker!
Balls!
Boy cock, Girl cock, E-I-E-I-O!
[entire restaurant erupts in laughter and profanity]
Hey Lar, you ever hear of Denta Friend?
Denta Friend? No.
It's a new sonic toothbrush that would really get rid of your plaque.
What are you talking about, get rid of plaque. I don't have any plaque.
My cousin's hygienist told me you have plaque.
Your cousin's hygienist told you I have a lot of plaque?
What's the big deal? Plaque is not a serious disease.
First of all, number one I don't have any plaque...
(laughing)
Number two, she shouldn't be telling you, that's a breach of patient-hygienist confidentiality.
JeffThere is no patient-hygienist confidentiality.
You're so wrong.
It's unethical, not legally like a doctor or a lawyer, but its unethical is what he's saying.
It's totally unethical, and I don't have any plaque by the way, do i have an electric toothbrush?
He has an electric toothbrush.
How often do I floss?
At least twice a day.
Tell him I don't have any plaque, okay, did you tell him that?
You have plaque.
Do you wanna have a plaque contest with me Marty?
Let's have a plaque contest.
Anytime you want.
Anytime you want.
Fine, you want to?
Challenge me just like you do in golf.
JeffHey.
Came for my sneaker.
JeffWhat happened to you?
I fell in the toilet.
JeffHow did you fall in the toilet?
I went to go pee and the seat was up.
JeffWhat does that have to do with you?
I pee sitting down.
JeffYou pee sitting down?
Yeah, have you ever tried it?
JeffNo!
It's more comfortable, when you get up during the night you don't have to turn the light on and wake up, and you get to read.
JeffWhat are you reading?
I'm reading a lot of stuff.
JeffWhat stuff?
If I pee twenty times a day, I can get through a whole New York Times for God sake!
JeffTwenty times?
Hey buddy, when your peeing all over your shoe, I'm learning something.
JeffWhat makes you think I'm peeing all over my shoe while you're learning something?
[Speaking to Jeff later on]
She calls me just out of the blue. Out of the blue, it's all set up. It's all set up. For next Thursday.
JeffWow.
Can I do this? Is it wrong?
JeffYou’re never gonna get another opportunity like this for the rest of your life, you have to do this. It’s a gift from your wife, she wants you to do it.
It’s my tenth anniversary present.
JeffIt’s your tenth anniversary present. You have to do it.
I hope I can do it. She’s fierce.
JeffOk, at first I thought it was my imagination but you’re talking really gay. [Larry gives him a confused look] No, no, no, really gay.
Get outta here.
Jeff“Fierce”? Where does “fierce” come from? And everything is this and that. [making effeminate hand gestures] You know, what do you think?
Steve the choreographer says it all the time.
JeffSteve the choreographer, you’ve been spending a lot of time with him?
I probably picked up some of his mannerisms.
JeffSome!? All! You’re him! You’re him! You’re Steve the gay choreographer. You’ve become Steve the gay choreographer.
[Talking to Jeff at Leo Funkhouser’s funeral after looking in the open casket] My 5-wood’s in there.
JeffWhat?
Go see for yourself!
[Jeff walk over and looks in the casket. He sees a golf club in the casket then walks back over to Larry]
JeffOh my god!
What the fuck is my 5-wood doing in the casket?
JeffHe probably wanted to be buried with his golf club.
Sven must have put it in there, probably, on purpose.
JeffThat’s a horrible thing to do.
That club's irreplaceable, it’s 10 years old, they don’t make it anymore!
JeffI’m so sorry. I’m sorry.
[Pauses] You got your clubs in your trunk?
JeffYeah.
[Larry stares at Jeff for a few seconds before Jeff realizes Larry is suggesting they replace it with Jeff’s 5-wood]
JeffNo. No.
Why?
JeffBecause I like the way mine feels.
Your club I can get at any other store in the country-
JeffBut I like the feel!
Why should this guy be buried in eternity with my club? That’s not fair! I’ll buy you a new club!
JeffThe exact same one! And it better have the same feel.
