Mason, Chase, and Tony are now with two older guys, CHARLIE (Chase's older brother) and his friend (SENIOR GUY). The boys are drinking beer and breaking wooden boards with their feet.
SENIOR GUY
Yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about!
The boys murmur indistinctly.
SENIOR GUY (CONT'D)
You ready? Check this shit out.
That was alright, but this is gonna
be badass.
CHARLIE
Alright, let me see, let me see what
you can do.
SENIOR GUY
Alright. This -- is your face. I'm
about to break his face, right here...
Senior Guy kicks through the wooden board.
BOYS
Ohh shit, alright. Nice.
CHARLIE
Alright, alright.
CHASE
Alright, alright. Now check this
out. You might want to move.
Chase picks up a circular saw blade and throws it into a large piece of sheet-rock with the outline of a body on it.
CHASE (CONT'D)
Oww, that'd be painful. That's like
the liver, stomach, something --
TONY
That's like the belly button --
MASON
Check this out, man.
Mason also heaves the blade into the human outline.
TONY
Whoa! Pancreas!
MASON
That shit's lethal.
CHASE
Yeah, that would be painful.
CHARLIE
(To Mason)
Man, have a beer, man. That was
awesome. Here.
Mason takes the beer and opens it, winning the boys' approval.
SENIOR GUY
It's beer-30, children.
CHASE
Chase offers a beer to Tony.
TONY
Aw, no thanks.
CHASE
Come on, man.
CHARLIE
What, are you a pussy?
TONY
No, I just don't feel like drinking
a beer right now.
CHARLIE
Man, if you're too chicken shit to
even have a beer, I know for a fact
that you have never gotten any pussy.
TONY
Like you guys have.
CHASE
Sure have.
TONY
When?
CHASE
Last summer.
MASON
With who?
CHARLIE
It was awesome. Chase went down
easy street and fucked this whore
Nancy. At least that's what he said.
CHASE
I did. Would I lie?
SENIOR GUY
Bullshit. Quick, where were you?
CHASE
At Tobler's house. And, she fucked
a couple other guys, too.
CHARLIE
Oh man, his first piece of ass was
sloppy seconds.
The boys all laugh.
CHARLIE (CONT'D)
What about you, Mason? You ever got
any?
SENIOR GUY
Yeah, you ever made her, uh, howl
into the night?
MASON
A few times.
TONY
(skeptical)
Really?
SENIOR GUY
Yeah, right. What was her name,
Lucky?
MASON
Nooo. Jennifer. She doesn't live
here, though. She's back in Houston.
CHARLIE
You're fucking lying.
MASON
I don't care if you assholes believe
me or not.
SENIOR GUY
Let me guess -- you were pulling all
kinds of ass back home, but once you
got down here... lefty.
Senior Guy motions with his left hand.
MASON
Hey, fuck you. I would, but none of
the girls here want to.
CHARLIE
Dude, it's not what they want, man.
It's what you want.
SENIOR GUY
True dat.
Senior Guy toasts, as Mason rolls his eyes.
CHARLIE
You know what you should do? Join a
band. That's all it takes, man.
MASON
Oh yeah?
CHARLIE
Fuck yeah, dude. You don't even
have to play that well. I mean, you
start playing your instrument, and
they line up to give you blow jobs.
(Points to Tony)
Except for you. It doesn't impress
the ladies so much when you play
flute for the marching band.
TONY
I'm not in the fucking marching band.
SENIOR GUY
Ah dude, you sure? I heard you play
the skin flute.
TONY
Alright, I got a question for you
guys. If you think you're so cool,
why are you hanging out with a bunch
of eighth graders on a Friday night?
SENIOR GUY
Hey, fuck you, you little penis
wrinkle. You know, you're lucky to
even be here. This is our camp out.
The only reason you little cum gums
are here is because fucking Charlie's
mom made him bring his little asshole
brother, and then he drags along you
little dice danglers. Fucking fuzz
nut, talking shit!
Senior Guy throws a beer just past Tony.
CHARLIE
It's all good, man. These little
fuzz nuts are going to get their
chance soon enough. We got some
whores coming by later.
CHASE
Yeah?
SENIOR GUY
Hell yeah!
CHARLIE
Now, I know Chase will fuck anything.
I mean, I've seen this kid mount
boulders before. But what about you
guys? You in?
MASON
Whatever.
CHARLIE
Alright.
SENIOR GUY
Alright, good man. What about you,
Peter Puffer?
TONY
I don't know. Maybe.
SENIOR GUY
Dude, it's okay to be gay. We
understand. Just, you know, sleep
over there.
TONY
I'm not gay.
CHARLIE
Give it some time, man. You'll
realize.
TONY
Fuck y'all.
CHARLIE
See, that's exactly my point, man.
Nah, but we don't have whores coming
over, we were just fucking with you
to see what you'd say.
SENIOR GUY
Yeah, and you just earned your Vag
Badge.
CHARLIE
Put it next to your bitch card.
SENIOR GUY
Yeah, 'cause you know, you're a bitch.
Now hold this, like the bitch you
are, bitch.
The boys return to breaking boards.
SENIOR GUY (CONT'D)
Alright, this shit is called the
Death Punch.
Senior Guy breaks the board in half with one direct punch.
BOYS
Ohh! Jesus!
