You were huckin' the ball around
with your pals the other day...
Say, uh...
What's the deal with your
sweetie there, Squirrely Dan?
Well, I took her out last night.
- Where to?
- Outs to the chip truck.
- Fries and gravy?
- I had mine with gravy.
She had hers with
salts and malts vinegar.
Do you know that salt and malt
vinegar's a non-traditional way
to dress your French
fries in the United States?
What the f*ck is wrong with them?
Like malt vinegar is
not a staple condiment
on tabletops in restaurants
in the United States.
f*ck, figure it out.
That's what I say. I say, figure it out.
Got no vinegars on the tables,
no Krafts peanut butters.
- WAYNE: Figure it out.
- DARYL: f*ckin' figure it out.
Better not forget those
f*ckin' all-dressed chips.
No ketchup chips neither.
WAYNE: Figure it out.
Somebody really ought to write a letter.
They do got six different
types of Cap'n Crunch, though.
How do you know that?
Saw a comedian talks about it
on the Juste Pour Rires.
Can't remember his name, though.
Good guy, though?
A little long-winded for my taste.
But, yeah, a pretty good guy.
Well, glad to hear he's
a good guy at least.
They have running water down there?
Anyhoo,
the evening went so well that, uh,
we got up to a little
bits of a foolin' around.
Did you French her?
WAYNE: Kind of out of line there, Dary.
- Did you go up her shirt?
- Now you're really out of line, Dary.
We did French, that much I will reveal.
Well, you already revealed that much,
might as well just tell us
if you went up her shirt.
It's impolite to kiss and tell, Dary.
I don't like to kiss and tell, but...
The Frenchin's tooks a hard left turn,
from which I have yets to recover.
Do you wanna know what?
I'm not asking you to kiss and tell,
'cause that's impolite.
But...
I'm kind of curious.
Yeah, Dan, kiss and tell.
I'm sure you boys have had a couple...
... of curve balls thrown
your way betwixt the sheets.
Well, not to be impolite, but,
you know, sometimes a
gal will be kissin' around
on, like, the area near your genitals,
but not quite on your genitals.
Makes me ticklish and insecure.
You know, not to be impolite,
but sometimes a gal will
do some kissin' on the ears,
which makes me uncomfortable,
because even though I clean my ears,
sometimes a tater will just
roll out of there unexpected.
(CHUCKLES)
I kind of likes both those things.
Yeah, it's why you're
called "Squirrely Dan."
Yeah, reason f*ckin' five million.
Well, nots to be impolite, but...
This gal suggested that
maybe I should have some
attentions paid
to my butts hole.
That ever...
Ever happen to you guys?
Did you ever have a gal
suggest that you need
some attentions paid
to your butts holes?
I'll take that as a hard no, I guess?
She put a couple of
fingers up there and...
It turns out you got a...
An erogenous zone up there.
Found... Found the hot button and...
Gaves it a tickle and, uh...
Yeah. Feels, uh...
It feels pretty good, you guys, okay?
- Pop fly.
- I really liked it.
It felt... Felt very natural.
Nice.
That's how you get the
body in front of it.
- Get the body in front of it.
- They call it "milking the prostate."
Well, it's impolite to kiss and tell.

- Where's Stewart been, Katy?
- He's not talking to me.
- Why?
- I don't know.
Here are your birthday
pancakes, big brother.
Don't f*ck with tradition.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
BOTH: Happy birthday, Wayne.
Jinx. You owe me a Coke.
Well, see now, that you
can get in the States.
What you can't get,
though, is Crush Cream Soda.
- BOTH: We got you a present, Wayne.
- Two Cokes.
We don't make a thing of
birthdays in this family.
Can we skip my super-soft
birthday party then this year?
Hard no!
It's not a birthday thing,
it's an efficiency thing.
Uh, if you can be one thing,
you should be efficient.
We got you an appointment
with a matchmaker.
Get the... Take a...
Well, start walkin'.
Well, you won't do online dating.
There's no more MoDeans, so
you can't meet girls there.
You're handcuffed, cowboy.
- Figure it out.
- Yeah, figures it out.
Don't you tell me to figure it out.
Yous are the ones should figure it out.
All you have to do is sit
down with a matchmaker,
answer a few questions,
and then she sets you up
on three dates with girls
that she thinks you'll jive with.
Has anyone heard from
Jivin' Pete lately?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
No, Jivin' Pete's one
nut got all swole up...
I don't give a sh*t about
Jivin' Pete's one nut.
No, no, this is a story
about Jivin' Pete's other nut.
Yeah, Jivin' Pete's had himself a
botched vasectomy a little while back,
so now his one nut's there all swole up
bigger than the first
nut that was all swole up.
If you can believes that nonsense.
Was Jivin' showin' it to people again?
Oh, he's showin' it
to people. I seen it.
- You seen it, Dary?
- Oh, I seen it.
- Yeah, I never seen it.
- It looks like a rambutan.
Which is to say, this hairy fruit.
So, not smooth like a persimmon?
DAN: No, although it is about
the size of a persimmons.
Which, of course, is
much like a tomatoes.
What sort of potent peace
pipe was some prick pulling off
when he titled tomatoes "fruits"?
Well...
Now both Jivin' Pete's
nuts have a story,
which I hope guarantees that
I'll never have to listen
to another story about
Jivin' Pete's nuts.
- He's a good guy.
- He's a real good guy.
- No, he's a great guy.
- Wayne.
You're looking for love.
And you said it yourself,
"If you can be one thing, be efficient."
Do's it once, do's it rights.
Figures it out.
Pitter-patter, let's get
at 'er, figure it out.
You shouldn't g*ng up on
people on their birthdays.
We don't make a thing of
birthdays in this family.
She's comin' this afternoon.
Don't be in your barnin' clothes.
(SPOON SCRAPING)
I f*ckin' hate praccy, bro.
It's Senior-A whale sh*t,
bro. Why even praccy?
Like, I'm just gonna
praccy like a donkey.
I could donk all day.
Just blast clappers at the hash marks
at the f*ckin' plug tendy of ours.
Clappys from the hashys, buddy.
Just steppin' into one
from the ladies' tees.
Just bulldoze that speed bump.
Just firin' ringers at his ears.
Just firin' warm-up ringers.
Just tossin' chest-high
sauce at the boys.
Just tossin' ankle-high rocket sauce.
Just tossin' mad sui's up the middle.
Just tossin' mad sui's
through the trolley tracks.
Just tossin' mad breakout
sui's directly into the skates.
Just tossin' mad breakout sui's.
You know, it might be
a fun praccy after all.
I could donk all day, boys.
(MUTTERING)
I don't think I've ever
sat on a hay bale before.
That's a straw bale, and that's barley.
Wonderful.
Great. Um...
So, a little bit about me.
Uh, my service is called
"Goldilocks and the Three Dates."
Katy...
I forgot to tell her
not to tell you that.
So, I've modeled my business
after the charming story
that it's inspired by.
I send my clients on three dates,
and like the beds that
Goldilocks laid down in
after eating the three bears' porridge,
maybe one is "too hard,"
and maybe one is "too soft."
But in the end we hope
that maybe one is just right.
- Katy...
- Get after it. You're losin' him.
Okay. Wayne, why don't you just
tell me a little bit about yourself.
It's impolite to talk about yourself.
Keeps his truck clean. Loves his dogs.
Enjoys a beer and a smoke.
Beer... Beer and smoke.
That's... Wow, you know.
I get it. Rustic.
Trucks, got it.
We will make this work. I love it, okay.
And then, um, Wayne,
can you just tell me
a little bit about
your past relationship?
You shouldn't air your dirty laundry.
Five years. Ended a while ago.
No baggage.
No baggage, love that.
No baggage, no babies.
Likey. (LAUGHING)
This is fun.
I'm having a fun time in this place.
And, Wayne, can you tell me
how much you make in a fiscal year?
WAYNE: Katy!
It's impolite to talk about your money.
He's no slouch.
Okay. Touche.
Well, I'm about to begin your story.
Where maybe one is "too hard."
Maybe one is, um...
- But in the end...
- Yeah, you lost him.
He seems... He seems nice.
Do you live...
Do you live in here?
So, what did you think of Goldilocks
and the Three Dates there, Wayne?
Ready to fall in Goldi-love?
Or Goldi-lust?
You won't be Goldi-laughin'
when I break your Goldi-legs.
Dim the Goldi-lights?
Nights of your Goldi-life?
Use your Goldi-language.
Make her Goldi-laugh.
Make it Goldi-last.
Better Goldi-lay off, before they find
your Goldi-limbs in a
Goldi-landfill, Goldi-literally.
Take her on a Goldi-lunch?
Maybe a Goldi-late suppers?
- Maybe she's a Goldi-lawyer.
- Ooh.
You think I'm Goldi-lyin'?
Enough Goldi-lip.
A Goldi-longshoresman will find
your bodies in the Goldi-lake!
Gentlemen, a question. A query.
- An inquis...
- Pitter-patter.
Has Katy mentioned anything
about me not talking to her?
- Can confirm.
- Major league.
- It's working.
- What's working?
By not talking to her, she
will form the conclusion
that I'm upset with her
and eventually ask me why.
Why you so butt-hurt, Stewart?
- Well, she acts like...
- Just kidding. I don't give a f*ck.
DAN: Wait. So, you're upsets with her,
and you wanna communicate
that by not communicatings?
Acutely.
You are spare parts, aren't you, bud?
Let me know if Katy asks about me.
Heads up!
Ow!
(MUSIC PLAYING)
I'm Kim.
I'm a psychologist and a feminist.
- I'll be paying the bill.
- I'm Wayne.
Wayne!
Glen. How are you now?
- Ah, good and you?
- Oh, not so bad.
Well, I guess the kitten's
out of the clutch on this one.
I also have to work as a waitress
to make ends meet.
- WAYNE: Sure you do.
- I'm Kim.
Are you ever.
Look at you. I'm lovin' this.
You're like a shark. I'm scared.
Like a Julie Moore, or
like a Jessie Chastain.
- What can I get you to drink?
- Uh, we'll need a minute.
Uh, please and thank you.
Hmm. All right.
Well, you'll take care of
little Miss Nicki Kidman here
till I get back, Mr. McConaughey?
- Sure, I will.
- All right.
He crosses his arms.
Are you aware of the
psychology behind that?
Now, when you say "he,"
you're talking about me, right?
He has wit.
Do you know why you cross your arms?
Feels like you're talking
to two people right now.
Crossing your arms,
whether it be consciously
or subconsciously,
is a sign of defense.
You're protecting your vital organs.
Do you feel threatened by me?
Well, I don't, but the other guy might.
He is hilarious.
Enough psychology for now.
What do you know about feminism, Wayne?
I know it's unsafe territory
to discuss with a feminist.
- Why?
- Someone will start shoutin'.
- Why?
- I don't know.
Feminism is the belief
that women and men
should have equal
rights and opportunities.
So, are you a feminist, Wayne?
Well, I trust my sister
with just about any job
under the sun over a man.
- But 'cept this one, I guess.
- Excuse me?
Not to be impolite but you're
not exposed to talk about sex,
politics or religion
at the supper table.
(SIGHING) What do you want, Wayne?
- I'd have a Gus'n Bru, likely.
- Not what I'm asking.
What's a Gus'n Bru?
Ooh! I'll Google it and find out.
I'm kiddin'. I know exactly what it is.
But we don't have any.
So, what can I get you to drink?
I'll have a Caesar and he'll have a...
Pint of lager, please. Something local.
- Thank you.
- GLEN: All right.
So, a local lager for Mr. Brando
and a Caesar for Sandy Bullock.
I love those orders. Be right back.
I didn't think they'd
have it at Four Dancers.
Yes, I didn't think they'd
have it at this resto-bar.
- Gastro-pub.
- Says "resto-bar" on the sign.
It's more of a micro-bistro.
Says brasserie on the
menu right there, too.
It's more of a bistro-brasserie.
When I came in they asked me if I wanted
to sit at the resto-bar
or the gastro-lounge.
I'm glad you chose the resto-bar.
This is actually the gastro-lounge.
Do you know what an
emergency call is, Wayne?
- Negative.
- It's when you have a friend
call , minutes into a date
to be sure the date isn't a total bust.
And if it is, then you
can play the phone call
as though it's an emergency
and leave the date.
Well, that's fair. I guess we are
first cousin to an emergency here.
A good one.
And you shouldn't be afraid of it.
I think we could do good things here.
I'm going to call my friend
and cancel her pending emergency call,
and when I get back,
let's talk about your feelings, Wayne.
- Okay.
- Let's really talk about them.
- Okay.
- I wanna take 'em,
and I wanna talk about them.
Oh, it's Wayne. How are you now?
Oh, not so bad.
Yeah, this one's too hard.
(TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING)
We don't have time to
discuss that business.
Devon.
Stewart.
I come in peace.
How do we know you don't have
another one of those in your sock?
You don't.
Speak. Do not approach.
- Seen Katy around?
- No.
- That is all.
- (GROWLING) Stewart!
Trouble in paradise?
If there was, she wouldn't know it.
I'm not talking to her.
Well played. Wait it out.
That way she'll come
to the conclusion that
you're upset with her and ask you why.
- Precisely.
- She should anyway.
- If she's smart.
- I know.
- Why are you mad at her?
- She acts like...
You should try an open relationship.
Could be productive.
You could also try a hall pass.
It's when you give, you know,
her being allowed to
sleep with one person
and that's it, no questions asked.
Another plausibly fruitful option.
New GTA and COD out today.
We're going to sesh.
- Been gaming much?
- Always gaming.
- You?
- Just gamed.
Stimulating morning game.
Evening game will eclipse.
I gamed a : -to- : shift last night.
You're gaming taxi driver's hours?
I gamed a : -to- : shift today.
Gaming banker's hours.
I'll probably game a
: -to- : shift now.
Cing a Sept. Nous aussi.
You guys wanna hit up a happy hour?
We're gonna hit another happy hour.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Heads up!
- STEWART: Ow!
- (CAR HORN BLARING)
I'm Lisa.
Wayne.
GLEN: Wayne!
- Glen, how are you now?
- Good and you?
- Not so bad.
- Well, I guess the teddy's
out of the tickle
trunk on this one, too.
I also work here.
Reason is the Salty Treat
blew out an amp the other day,
rockin' out pretty hard to some
Lifehouse covers, which will happen.
So, I'm pickin' up the
slack. I'm happy to do it.
Way she goes.
I'm Lisa.
Are you ever. Look at you!
It's America's little
sweetheart over here.
You're like a little Katy Heigl
or like a little Katy Hudson.
What can I get ya?
Do you have cookies and cream?
Do I...
Do I have cookies and cream?
I sure do have cookies and cream.
(SIGHS) And I'm thinkin' maybe
a vanilla-fudge swirl chunk
for Mr. Newman over here?
- That'll do, thank you.
- Okay.
And you're gonna keep an eye
on little Caty Blanchett here
- for me till I get back?
- Sure will.
Thank you! Be right back!
- So, you're a farmer, Wayne?
- Can confirm.
You don't smell like one.
(CHUCKLES) I'm kidding.
I'm a pre-school
principal. Do you like kids?
- Hmm...
- I know, everyone likes kids.
They're so silly.
I love them when they're silly.
But if they get too silly,
they have to come see me.
- "Silly"?
- Mischief.
- Trouble.
- We use gentler terms.
As a policy.
Well, so what happens
when they come see you?
Well, we do things a little
differently in our program.
The approach is
progressive and positive.
We issue a hug consent form to parents,
which allows us to hug their kids.
Because % of the time, all kids need
- is a hug.
- "A hug"?
- A squeeze.
- Well, you squeeze 'em.
- An embrace.
- Oh.
- Oh?
- Well...
- What is it?
- Nothin'.
- Wayne.
- Yeah?
- Speak freely.
- No, I'd better not.
That's the only way we'll
get to know each other.
But do you ever smack 'em?
- Excuse me?
- Like, give 'em a good whack?
- I don't follow.
- Do you ever hit the kid?
Like, for being too silly.
No! Wayne.
We never hit our kids.
You shouldn't hit kids.
Well, you know what, don't you remember
how scared you were of your
principal when you were growing up?
It's 'cause he'd smack you
if you were being too silly.
Like your parents wanted you to
have a principal who would smack you.
They took comfort in the fact
that they were sending
you to a place every day
where someone would smack you for them
if you were being too silly.
And sometimes I see kids these
days, I kind of think, like...
Like, wish you could still do that.
That sort of discipline
is long outdated, Wayne,
and frowned upon.
We sit the child down...
- That's another problem.
- What is?
- In my opinion.
- Sitting?
Well, no wonder kids are failin' school,
just sittin' around all day.
Stand up, you're not doing nothin'.
You think sitting is a problem?
- Yeah.
- Why?
'Cause it makes you soft.
- Literally or figuratively?
- Well, both, I suppose.
- Both?
- Yeah.
In my opinion.
My phone's buzzing.
Well, so you like cookies
and cream ice cream, hey?
Well, I think it's pretty good, too.
Hi, Michelle.
Oh, no.
Okay, I'll be right there.
I'm sorry, Wayne, I've gotta go.
- It's...
- An emergency.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
It's Wayne.
Well, how are you now?
Oh, not so bad.
Yeah, this one's too soft.
(SCOFFING)
(SIGHING)
(SIGHING CONTINUES)
(GROANING)
(SIGHING)
(SIGHING CONTINUES)
What?
(SCOFFS)
I'm not talking to you.
Super.
- (SIGHS)
- It's been three days.
Why haven't you asked me what's wrong?
- Something wrong?
- Of course it is.
- You act like I don't...
- Should I have known that?
It's called "the silent treatment."
Step one, I stop talking to you.
Step two, you form the conclusion
that something is wrong.
Step three, you ask me what's wrong.
What's up with step one?
You've skipped step one and two.
What's step three again?
You ask me what's wrong!
Got it.
Good.
You bet.
Go ahead.
Where?
- Step three.
- What's step three again?
(EXHALES)
We'll skip step three.
I'm just going to tell you what's wrong.
That should have been step one.
Wrong. Step one and two
are fundamental steps.
You missed steps, Stewart.
How?
Step one, become angry with someone.
Step two, tell that
someone that you're angry.
Step three, resolve
anger with that someone.
- Step four...
- (SCOFFING) Step four.
Step four, resume peaceful existence.
Your logic is frighteningly bewitching.
Phantasmagoric.
It's time for you to go.
What?
Where?
Leave here?
It was a rebound.
Even though there was no
physical act of rebounding,
which is a first for me.
(SCOFFS) Gross.
Seriously, Katy.
W .
No one has time for the
silent treatment, Stewart.
Not even in Letterkenny.
Adios.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
- DAN: Heads up!
- (LAUGHS)
Nice try, shirt-tuckers!
(DARYL SNICKERS)
Ow!
(WAILING)
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Hi, Wayne.
Angie.
Wayne!
Oh, my gourd, what a coincidence.
Oh, I bet you're thinkin' I work here.
I don't work here.
I just love Guy's fries.
They're so crispy, and
you add a little salt...
(LAUGHS) I just think
they're so delicious.
Ooh! Who is this?
You're a masterpiece, aren't ya?
You're like a Shelly Pfeiffer,
you're like a Charlie Theron,
or like a Penny Cruz.
Ooh!
You're like a little Angie Jolie.
That's who you are, you're Angie.
How are you now?
- Good and you?
- Not so bad.
Can we talk?
- Okay.
- "Talk."
In your truck.
Okay.
Now that was just right.
(EXHALES)
So how did you make out, super chief?
Did you find the missing Goldi-link?
You fallin' in Goldi-love?
It's better to Goldi-let this
go, before I Goldi-lose my sh*t.
Oh, take your drink, you Goldi-lush.
Tread Goldi-lightly.
So, that's no toe-curlin' then?
It's impolite to kiss and tell.
Nothin' wrong with a little
stank on the hang down.
Nothin' wrong with a little
takesin' out in the trades.
A little hizzin' in the skizzins.
No, I know there's
nothin' wrong with a little
goin' to the bone yard, I know that.
Nothin' wrong with a
little bacon makin'.
Nothin' wrong with a little
sh*t twixt winds and waters.
A little building the blanket monster.
I know there's nothin' wrong
with a little pituitary poke.
- I know that.
- Nothin' wrong with a little
makin' the beast with two backs.
Makin' feet for children's stockin's.
Testing the tube steak.
Look, I know there's nothin' wrong
with a little crawl up the skin slide.
- I know that.
- Nothin' wrong with a little,
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!"
Now just pump the brakes right there.
- I got a question.
- Have at 'er.
Then I got a comment.
Well, let's hear it, good buddy.
Now, my question.
When have you ever heard a girl go,
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."
- Well...
- Other than in a p*rn.
- I don't believe I have.
- Me neithers.
That's because we don't say that.
- Well...
- Not unless it's in a p*rn.
WAYNE: Now my comment.
You see, the way Dary did the
"yes, yes, yes, yes, yes's"
is not the way they do the
"yes, yes, yes" in p*rn.
That's the way they do it.
The girl gets all excited, and she goes,
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."
Yes, but the way you're doing
the "yes, yes, yes, yes's"
is not the way they do the
"yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."
DARYL: It is the way they do it.
They go, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."
- That's exactly how they do it.
- WAYNE: No, they don't.
What they do is they
find a super-high pitch
for those first four yes's.
And then they come in all
dramatic for that final "yes."
So, it goes a little something
like, "Yes, yes, yes, yes."
And then they get all
dramatic for that final "yes."
Say, "Yes! Oh."
I don't think that's how they do it.
I'd have to hears it again.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!"
Yeah. Yeah, p*rn girls do that.
But only when the p*rn guys
aren't busy finding some super-low tone
and repeating over and over again,
"Ah, f*ck."
"Ah, f*ck."
I takes a bit offense
to that, Miss Katy,
as I have a naturally low voice,
and I do likes to say, "Ah, f*ck."
"Ah, f*ck."
Exceptin' I don't do it in p*rn.
Well, then you should do voiceovers
for English-dubbed foreign p*rn, Dan,
because that was a text
book "ah, f*ck, ah, f*ck."
Why thank you, Miss Katy.
I've never had any complaints
from any of my sexual companions
about my "ah, f*ck, ah, f*ck."
KATY: Let me hear yours, Dary.
Well, I... I'm confused still on
the "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes's."
So, Wayne, it's like, uh,
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes"?
See, it's not as if it's a
f*ckin' question, Dary, is it?
You're saying it like it's a question.
So, it's like, "Yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes."
You're gettin' closer,
Dary, but what you want to do
is put a little pepper on the end of it.
You just want to put a little
pepper on the end of it.
Like, "Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Ah, f*ck."
- It's like, "Yes, yes, yes... "
- "Ah, f*ck."
- "... yes, yes, yes!"
- "Ah, f*ck."
Like, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!"
"Yes!"
Just having a fight with my hat.
- (ALL MOANING)
- "Oh, my God."
(GRUNTING)

Three praccys a week, buddy?
Three praccys a week in
Senior-A whale sh*t, buddy.

my bag into the rink
is the day I stop playing hockey.
A-f*ckin'-men, buddy.

Should be rippin' sandos.
See me toss the sauce in the skates

Not sure what a tape-to-taper
is anymore, buddy.
- f*ck tape-to-tapers, buddy.

I fired a point-blank clap b*mb
directly into Barts's chest tonight.
Fired a point-blank point
b*mb straight in Yorkie's junk.
I snowed our plug tendy
no less than nine times.
I snow-showered our plug tendy
and that was his own "D," man.
