The Hangover
The Hangover is a 2009 American comedy film directed by Todd Phillips and written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. It is the first installment in The Hangover trilogy. The film stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Heather Graham, Justin Bartha, Ken Jeong, and Jeffrey Tambor. It tells the story of Phil Wenneck (Cooper), Stu Price (Helms), Alan Garner (Galifianakis), and Doug Billings (Bartha), who travel to Las Vegas for a bachelor party to celebrate Doug's impending marriage. However, Phil, Stu, and Alan wake up with Doug missing and no memory of the previous night's events, and must find the groom before the wedding can take place. Lucas and Moore wrote the script after executive producer Chris Bender's friend disappeared and had a large bill after being sent to a strip club. After Lucas and Moore sold it to the studio for $2 million, Phillips and Jeremy Garelick rewrote the script to include a tiger as well as a subplot involving a baby and a police cruiser, and also including boxer Mike Tyson. Filming took place in Nevada for 15 days, and during filming, the three main actors (Cooper, Helms, and Galifianakis) formed a real friendship. The Hangover was released on June 5, 2009, and was a critical and commercial success. The film became the tenth-highest-grossing film of 2009, with a worldwide gross of over $467 million. The film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, and received multiple other accolades. It became the highest-grossing R-rated comedy ever in the United States, surpassing a record previously held by Beverly Hills Cop for almost 25 years. The film was followed by two sequels: The Hangover Part II (2011) and The Hangover Part III (2013). Both were commercial success, but neither were well-received critically.
Ah! I told you you had the wrong guy, little boy. Damn, Alan, what the fuck you got me into? - You know him? - This is the guy that sold me the bad drugs. - How you doing? - I didn't sell you no fucking bad drugs. - Wait. He sold you the Ruphylin? - Ruphylin? I sold you that Ru...? Wha...? - Who gives a shit? Where is Doug? - I am Doug. - Your name's Doug? - Yes, I'm Doug. His name's Doug too. Ha. Classic mix-up. Come on. - Hey, Chow. You gave us the wrong Doug. - Not my problem. No, fuck that shit. Now, you give us our 80 grand back and take him with you! - No. Come on. I'll be your Doug. - Oh, yeah, okay. Oh, I take him back. Right after you suck on these little Chinese nuts.

That crazy asshole kidnapped me yesterday. Okay, but why? I mean, why you? He thought I was with you guys because we were hanging over at the Bellagio. - What? - We were at the Bellagio? We were shooting craps. You don't remember? No. No, we don't remember. Because some dick drug dealer sold him Ruphylin and told him it was ecstasy. Ruphylin. There you go with that word. Ruphylin. What the hell is a Ruphylin? Wow, you are the world's shittiest drug dealer. Ruphylin, for your information, is the date-rape drug. You sold Alan roofies. Oh, shit. I must have mixed up the bags. My fault, Alan. Damn, Marshall gonna be pissed off at me on that one.

- Whatever. - It's funny, because just the other day... ...me and my boy, we was wondering why they even call them roofies. - You know what I'm talking about? - No. Don't know. Why not floories, right? Because when you take them... ...you're more likely to end up on the floor than the roof. What about groundies? That's a good new name for them. Or, how about rapies?
The Hangover
- Wait, what did you just say? - Rapies. - Not you. Doug, what did you say before? - I said groundies. No, before that. You said, "You're more likely to wind up on the floor than..." - Phil. - Listen, Trace, I'm really sorry. L... [GRUNTING] TRACY [OVER PHONE]: Phil? Hello? - Tracy, it's Stu. Stu. Talk to me. What's going on? Uh, nothing. Don't listen to Phil. He's completely out of his mind. He's probably still drunk from last night. Where's Doug? STU: He is paying the bill. We just had a delicious brunch. We're in a hurry to get back, so we gotta get going. - Okay, we'll see you soon. Bye. - Stu. Stu. Fuck. - What the fuck, man? - I know where Doug is.
The Hangover
STU: I don't know, man. It just hit me. You remember when we saw Doug's mattress impaled on that statue? - Yeah, we threw it out the window. - No, impossible. - You can't open windows in Vegas hotels. - Well, then how did it get...? - Oh, my God! - Ha, ha, ha. - Whoa, wait. What's going on? - Doug was trying to signal someone. - Holy shit. STU: Yes. - Wait. How did you figure that out? - Doug made me realize it. - Doug? - Uh, not our Doug. Black Doug. - Hey, hey, easy with that shit. Come on. - Sorry. Can someone tell me where white Doug is? - He's on the roof, Alan. - Yes. He's on the roof. We must have taken him up there as a prank... ...so he'd wake up on the roof. - Like that time in summer camp. We moved his sleeping bag out in the jetty at the lake? Ha, ha, ha. Which was hilarious. It's not so funny now, though, because we forgot where we put him. You guys are retarded, you know that? - Holy shit. You think he's still up there? - There's only one way to find out. PHIL: Doug! Doug! - Doug! PHIL: Doug, you up here, buddy? Where you at, Doug? Doug!
The Hangover
You're okay. Ha, ha, ha! Oh, God. We gotta go, buddy. Come on. Oh, we have been looking everywhere for you. - He's alive. - What the fuck is going on? We can explain everything, but right now we gotta go. - Hey, bud. You okay? - No. Not okay. You look good, you got some color. I'm jealous. - I'm getting married today. - Yes, you are. That's why you need to focus and do everything we say. Because, frankly, you're wasting a little bit of time right now. You fucking asshole!
