(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKERS) Oh, it's horrible in here. Yeah, it's sticky. Shoes are shot. Ooh. There he is, there he is. Don't let him see you. Come on. Sit down right here. Bartender, sir, can I ask you a question? Um... You, um... You didn't happen to see a fellow brought in here, looks a little bit like me, but he's got a little bit of a sharper chin and higher cheekbones? So, a better-looking guy? No, well, I wouldn't call it that. I didn't see nothing.

- Oh, boy. You hear that? - Huh. Yeah. That double negative? "Didn't see nothing"? - It's a little forced, right? - Yeah, I think he's in on it. - 'Course he is. - Look at those tats. So fresh, probably fake. Tell you what. Let's give him a test, okay? Let's order a couple of drinks that only a real bartender would know how to make. - Right? - Oh! Smart! Yes. - Sir! Excuse me. Hi. - Barkeep. MAX: Totally forgot to order drinks. Yes, uh... Could I please have a vodka tonic?

Well done, honey. I'm gonna have a Harvey Wallbanger. Okay? Appreciate it. Jesus! Did you see that look? Guy doesn't know what's going on. Think you stumped him. Some regional theater hack. - (LAUGHS) - Huh? - Well, this is kind of fun, isn't it? - Yeah. It's nice to get out of the house. You know, we're not gonna be able to do stuff like this if we have kids. - What? - Yeah. - Why not? - Well, I don't know. I was thinking about it. Remember Dan and Linda? Remember how much time we used to spend with them? Just tons of fun, and then they had those twins. Boom! Off the grid, right? Last time we saw them was their Christmas card with the wonky kids on it. Yeah, I love those Christmas cards. They look so happy. But you know what I mean. - We don't see 'em. - BARTENDER: Vodka tonic.

- Did he get it right? - Huh. I do not know. I realized I've never had one of these, but that is a tasty drink. It's kind of tart. You wanna try it? Oh! Honey! Honey! There's Brooks! Brooks is here. Brooks is here. We're about to win this thing! - Yes, yes! - Look who came in here. Oh! No! I think he made us. So what? It's over. What, are they gonna try to stop us? - Let's go. - Yeah, probably. But that's why I brought this. Jesus Christ, honey! Where did you get a gun? No, no, that's the fake gun from Brooks' fight. Oh, yeah. Boy, that looks real. - Yeah, well, you know... - Look at that. Brooks never spares any expense. - Yeah, that's true. - Okay. Follow my lead, huh? - Why, what are you doing? - Lead? Any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute every motherfucking last one of you! Very nice, honey. Pulp Fiction, anybody? Right? It's a classic. We love films. Okay, what the fuck is this shit? Well, you're gonna hand over the keys 'cause we're gonna take my brother. - Bullshit. - Oh, you know what's bullshit is your bald, ugly face. Uh-uh. No, that's personal. Come on, honey, let's just keep it fun. All right, I'm sorry I called you bald, you little bitch! MAX: Well, that's, again, you know... - Let the gun do the talking. - Okay. - Come on. - Ah! On your knees. Hands in the air. Heads on the ground. - Good. Good. Great. - Eyes closed. That's it. Get 'em up, reach for it. - Hands up! That's right. - MAX: There we go. - All right, hands in the air! - Get 'em up! - Yep. - Yo, where's my head go? - Down. - On the floor. Just rest it. How am I supposed to put my hands in the air - with my head on the ground? - Fucking exactly. I did have the same question. (SIGHS) Child's pose? Do you guys know child's pose? Fuck is a child's pose, man? ANNIE: You've never done yoga? - Okay, wow. (SCOFFS) - No? - Cover me. - Show 'em, baby. - All right. Arms out. - Here she comes. Knees apart if you have back problems. And if you're doing it right, you're really gonna feel that lumbar opening up back there. MAX: Let's put your head down. Come on. I don't wanna have to use this. Okay? (CHUCKLES) - (GRUNTS) - Okay. Can't you just tell me who it was? I know you, Kev. If I tell you, you'll just obsess about it even more. Okay, fine. How about this? If I guess it right, you tell me. Fine. Was it an actor? Yes. That tower is unstable. I'm not stable! Was he over 40? Yes. Be careful. Okay. American? Yes.

Are we cool? Did I say something wrong? No. No, I mean I was wondering why you asked me along tonight, and now I know you just needed a ringer, so... Oh, did you... You thought this was a date? I didn't... (LAUGHS) No, actually. Well, I was hoping it wasn't. Then why are you wearing lipstick? - I'm not. - Yeah, you are. What are you... You can't touch a girl's mouth. Why? Are you scared I'm gonna smear your lipstick... Oh, my God! You bit me! Yeah, and I'll bite you again. There's lipstick on here. Oh, shut up! I see you wiping off that date lipstick! (SARAH SIGHS)

RYAN: My God! - (RYAN SHOUTS) - Come on! Bloody hell! - RYAN: What? - Phew! You guys scared me so bad. What are you doing? What the fuck is that? Oh. Well, I just came from a six-hour murder mystery where I played the corpse. I must have dozed off before I had a chance to clean up. Well, you scared the shit out of us. Really? Thank you. Actually that means a lot 'cause I do my own makeup. What kind of party has a pregnant corpse? No, I'm actually pregnant, this isn't part of it. This is just... BOTH: Oh! - Congrats. - WOMAN: Thank you! (CHUCKLES) RYAN: Um, we want you to give us the final clue to the murder mystery Brooks Davis ordered. Oh, my gosh. But that would ruin the fun. We don't want the fun. We just wanna win. Yeah, I can't do that. (SIGHS)
