This is crazy! Yeah? Yeah, man, right? Look at it. A bit much. I don't think it is a bit much. I think it's right on the money. What is he, Pablo Escobar? Come on, man, this is an awesome street. Channing Tatum lives up there. Oh, for the love of... Will you stop talking about... This is the sexiest street in America. You and Channing Tatum. I think he's attractive.

I think it's a cool house. I know you do. I can't wait to see inside it. That's why I'm excited. Ha-ha! Yes! What's up, man? Seth! So happy you're here. I'm so happy to be here. Hey, Johnny, what's up? It's Jay. It's Jay. I'll never forget it again, man. Good to see you. Nice to see you. Come on in. Yeah! Yeah, great. Check it out. My new place! Awesome, man! Designed it myself. Really cool. This place is beautiful, man. This place is like a piece of me. You two just stepped inside me.

So, is it weird? No. You sure? I really like it. What do you think, Jay? I'm not a big art guy. You don't like art? Well, come on... You play video games? Yes. Well, guess what, buddy? You like art. Yep. You ever been to Subway? Yes. You order a sandwich? Somebody put that together for you, dude. That's art. Sandwich artist. So, let me lay this on you, Jay. Oh, fuck. Your mama's pussy was the canvas. Your dad's dick was the paintbrush. Boom. You're the art. Huh?
This Is the End
Thanks, James Franco. You got it. Seth! Mindy, hello. Oh, my God, great to see you. Oh, you, too. Long time. How's it going? You know Jay? I don't think I've ever actually met you. You were so good in Million Dollar Baby. That's amazing. Thank you so much for saying that. Oh, my God, if I don't fuck Michael Cera tonight, I'm gonna blow my brains out. What? Fucking pale, 110 pounds, hairless, probably has a huge cock, coked out of his mind... You can do a lot better. That's just trouble. So, Ri-Ri, how about you, you ever see a psychiatrist? Um...

What's up, buddy? How's it going, dude? Good to see you, man. Is that Jay Baruchel? Hi, there. Hey. Oh, my God, get in here, dude. How's it going, Jonah? What are you doing? Good. How you doing, buddy? Oh, my gosh. Welcome back. Thank you very much. When'd you get in? Uh, this morning, and boy, are my arms tired.
This Is the End
Dude, that's great. Thank you. Sick. What have you guys been doing? Oh, we just hung out all day. Ate a bunch of dirty burgers, and smoked about a fucking pound of weed and played a bunch of video games. Weed is tight. Weed is tight. That's awesome. That's awesome. Weed is awesome. It was like the golfing sequence in Navy SEALs. Sick reference, though, bro. Oh, thanks, bud. Dude, your references are out of control. Everyone knows that. Hey, thanks, man. I'm jealous. I would have been there in a heartbeat, but, uh, I actually just adopted this incontinent spaniel. She's a really beautiful soul. Her name's Ahjhai. Ahjhai? Yeah. How do you spell it? A - H - J - H - A - I. A - H... You want to see a picture of her? Oh, she's so sweet. Hey! Look at her. Aw! She can't bark. She doesn't know how, so... She doesn't know how to bark, even? She doesn't know how to bark, so I've tried to teach her and she just kind of screams, and so she was up, had her face smushed against the cage, and was, like... Ah!
This Is the End
Dude. I know. I think we're making some progress. That was really good. And honestly, he's your old friend. We're your new friends. He feels threatened. Yeah, man. You know, and I get it. It's gonna be fine. I honestly think tonight's the night we bust this whole thing open. And I'm lucky. It's the same thing a lot, though. It's, like, my TV wife opens the fridge, and is, like, "What happened to the birthday cake?" And I come out with, like, a little frosting, like, "What birthday cake?" 'Cause you ate the cake! Yeah. 'Cause you ate the cake! "It's my birthday. "

What lifestyle are you into? Look at him. He's, like, a hipster, right? No, I'm not a hipster, at all. Yeah, yeah, you do seem to hate a lot of things, and the bottom of your pants are awful tight. No, I just... I don't like Los Angeles. It doesn't make me a hipster. I'll bet you hate movies that are universally loved. I don't even... You like Forrest Gump? No, no, it's a horrendous piece of shit. "Life is like a box of chocolates," no? Yeah, no, I'm familiar with it.
This Is the End
Why don't we do a sequel to Pineapple Express? I would love to do a sequel to Pineapple. Do you have any ideas, or... I do have an idea. What? It's that Red, Danny, has become, like, the drug lord, you know, since we killed the other one, and he wants to assassinate Woody Harrelson, 'cause he's gonna give a speech that makes all of weed legal, effectively rendering drug lords out of business. Awesome. Yeah, it's fucking awesome, but we don't have... We don't know how it should end yet. I... I know. Danny's trying to kill us. Yeah. And I sacrifice myself for you. And he kills me, and I die for you.
