Stupid Games (2024) Movie Script

1
Kind of a weird label, bro.
Dude, yeah, it kind of is, huh?
But whatever.
The dude at the source of this
says it's stuff to really
get the girls going.
What do you mean, like
it's got caffeine in it?
No, man, you know it's
Afro maniac or whatever.
A what?
Bro, you know, it's supposed
to get 'em in the mood.
Bro, you mean aphrodisiac?
You know what I mean.
Supposed to make her want me.
I just hope there's no
ugly girls there, man.
I can't have ugly chicks on me.
I mean, I know Cody's into that.
I'm not.
Cody isn't ugly girls, huh?
- Sarah.
- Sarah.
No, man, this chick
is not the type
to hang out with Sarahs.
Dude, that is great news for me.
Cody's gonna be disappointed.
You know speaking of which,
is he meeting us there or what?
No, he hasn't responded
my message yet.
Well, it'll be good
to see him you know.
I'm actually kinda surprised
he said yes to this,
you know, since the.
Oh fuck.
The fuck was that?
Dude, I don't know.
It was a cat or something?
Did I hit it?
Nah, nah, I think you're
good, I think you're good.
Dude.
Fuck.
You all right, what's going on?
I don't know.
I think I'm kind of
nervous about tonight.
Like this girl, man,
she's all kinds of bad.
Didn't she ghost you like
shortly after you met her?
Yeah, dude.
Like I said, she's bad.
Oh shit.
Asshole.
What?
Dude, Cody, he's
not fucking coming.
Why?
Fuck.
I don't know, some
fucking bullshit.
What am I gonna do now?
Dude, don't worry about it,
I'll just take two chicks.
Fuck no, shit for brains.
I have to bring
two guys with me.
Celeste was very
fucking adamant.
What, what is this
game night code
for some sort of
six person orgy?
Fucking God, no.
Dude, she's cooking
us a home-cooked meal.
Listen, it doesn't
fucking matter.
She said, if I
don't bring two guys
she's gonna be very
fucking disappointed.
And you don't
disappoint a bad bitch.
What the fuck does that mean?
I don't know.
I just wanna see her naked.
And we're back to
the orgy again.
I knew it.
No, no, no, hey, the
guy we met on the roof,
what is his name?
He lives on three.
Jared.
Yes.
Do you have his number?
No.
Hey, Stanley, Mr. Manley.
- Hey guys.
- Hello man.
How's the faucet
working for you?
Oh, faucet's fine,
dude it's great.
And I know you owe you a review.
I got you.
Hey, what's going
on, you in a rush?
Yeah, I gotta pick
up a nine volt
for the smoke detector in 401.
Oh, cool.
Hey, listen, do they give you
like a tenant list
here or something
with like a phone number?
Listen, I'm looking for
the guy on the third floor,
kind of average build, goatee.
Yeah, yeah, guy in 312.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that guy.
Listen, I gave him my
4K and I need it back.
You gave him $4,000.
What?
No, no, no, the video game.
Jesus Christ, man,
let's just tell him.
We got a hot date with
three girls all right.
And our asshole friend
kind of bailed on us,
so we're looking for a third,
we thought Jared
might be the one.
I'm pretty sure it
was on vacation.
Yeah, yeah, I saw it
in the work order.
Back to square one.
You gotta call Cody.
What do you mean call Cody?
You've already called him.
Yeah, but you call him.
No.
Well, hey, if you need one more.
You guys said you
needed one more, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I like hot girls.
I'm good at conversation.
Yeah 'cause this is
flowing real well, bro.
All right, listen, we're
leaving in 10 minutes.
Do you have a change of clothes?
You look like a
fucking cable guy.
Yeah, yeah, I think I
got the perfect sweater.
Let's go, come on.
Let's do it.
Oh wait, can we go to the
hardware store before?
I need to get a circuit breaker.
Yeah, let's go.
Come on.
- Let's do it.
I gotta park my scooter.
I'll just.
Just take it upstairs.
Go upstairs.
- Okay.
- Upstairs, come on.
Hello.
Hi, I'm food.
I have your food.
Are they here already?
No, just the delivery guy.
You still have time
to put your face on.
You having a good night?
Yeah, I guess.
Lot of deliveries?
No, not really, kind
of a slow night.
You know, it's too bad we're
having company over tonight.
Why is that?
Well, we just.
Where did you put my
black leaf earrings?
I put them back in
your jewelry box.
Okay well can you hurry up
here and help me find them?
Because I wanna
wear them for Jaxon.
There's extra in there for you.
Have a good night.
I can feel me lose myself
Can't control it
In your picture perfect hell
Sugar coated
Sugar coated
I'm not fine
I'm not angry
I'm just unwell
I'm just unwell
That delivery guy was cute.
You think every guy's cute?
No, only things with
pretty eyes and big.
Why do you even bother
setting the timer?
Because when I do something,
I commit.
Come on.
One of these things
is not like the other.
Looks identical to me.
Where's the other one?
Did you look at my jewelry box?
I wouldn't be standing here
looking stupid if I hadn't.
I bet it just fell
behind the box.
I'll go look.
Don't fret.
Mia.
Can you move your sleeping
bag off the couch?
I don't want the boys
to see too much yet.
Yeah, I can hide my
sleeping situation.
Picture perfect
Hopefully Riley
doesn't get lucky.
Sugar coated
Sugar coated
I'm not fine
I'm not angry
Maybe all three of us
will finally get lucky.
I'm just unwell
Bitch the little
sneak was stuck to my.
Nevermind.
Doesn't matter.
It's all clean and ready to
hang from your pretty ears
and hypnotized Jason.
Jameson.
Jaxon.
How do you know this guy again?
This is the one she
didn't like that much.
Riley.
Sorry, is that a different guy?
Is it a secret?
I do have to spend the
evening with him and whomever.
No, it's the same guy.
Just obviously the
circumstances have changed.
You never know, Mia,
maybe this is a start
of a love story for you.
I don't need a love story.
I was thinking something
more like essentials.
You need to be hosed
down with cold water.
Okay, I don't know what
the other guys are like,
but he promised he
was bringing two,
one for you and one for you.
My excitement is palpable.
Oh, that's the benefit of
being stranded on our couch,
dinner and games with boys.
Don't call me hell
To a homemade meal,
courtesy of the Ember
and Balloon Cafe
and games with boys.
Isn't it bad luck to
cheers with empty glasses?
I'm not angry
I'm just unwell
They're here.
Hello boys.
Hello.
There you are.
Hey, gorgeous.
Come in.
Come in.
We don't bite.
Jaxon, can I talk to you?
Make yourself at home,
friend of Jaxon's.
I'm Riley.
Oh, Rex or friend of Jaxon's.
Mia.
I'm just sort of
staying here right now.
Oh, like couch surfing.
I used to do a lot of couch
surfing when I was really broke.
Not that you're broke.
Respect.
Close the door.
Skipping dinner and going
straight to dessert.
Is that why he
didn't text me back?
It's a toy.
It seems you're one short.
No, Stanley left his
phone in the car.
He's coming right back up.
Is that your obnoxious
friend from the bar?
Cody?
Nah, I brought my
A team tonight.
Oh good.
Frack.
Hello?
Delivery.
We didn't order anything.
Please just let me in.
Does your friend know
which apartment to come to?
Oh yeah, I texted him the
number when we got up here.
He should be all right.
It's a pretty big building.
We're all adults
here, he'll find it.
Hey now, I'm only 30.
So Rex,
is that like short for
T-Rex or something?
I actually get this
question a lot.
It's a title I was given
back in the neighborhood.
I was somewhat of a,
somewhat of a Robin Hood.
You stole from the rich
and gave to the poor?
No, I was just more
adored by all the kids.
You know, some of the parents
would even tell their kids
that they should
be more like me.
Fascinating.
So they named you Rex.
What's your real name?
Well, Rex means king and Latin.
And so the Greeks and
the Romans would use that
to label their favorite kings.
I'd like to think I'm royalty.
Oh, are you in need of a queen?
You don't miss a beat.
Didn't the Romans famously
stab their kings to death?
And don't you live on a couch?
Right.
I'm wondering where
your friend is.
Well, you seem to be really
interested in where he is.
Why don't you go find him, Mia?
I'm just saying he could be
lost and dinner's almost done.
Besides, I don't even
know what he looks like.
I'll go get him.
I'm getting hungry anyways.
One of you should go
probably check on Jaxon
and what's her name?
- Celeste.
- Celeste.
Right.
Maybe knock first.
We should go back in there.
A few more minutes
in here won't hurt.
I don't want all that food
that I made to get cold.
I'm sure it's fine.
Well then I don't
want it to burn.
I don't get it.
What?
Three weeks I haven't
heard from you.
Then, out of the blue,
I get some random text,
"Bring two guys."
What game are you playing?
Look, I didn't mean
to ghost you okay.
I just, I've been real busy.
And you and your dumb friend
were being obnoxious at the bar.
Me?
What did I do?
Cody, yeah, I get, but I even
sprung for top shelf stuff.
Well, maybe you got a
little cuter with every sip.
Yeah, cute enough for
a good next's kiss.
I remember.
Look, I've been busy,
but this is your chance
to make me unbusy.
But first dinner
and a game night.
Hey, Rex went to
get the other guy
and dinner's ready.
See what I mean?
Come on.
Shit Stanley, so stupid.
Chance for friends,
chance for girls
and yeah, of course,
you mess it all up.
Come on.
Shit Stain Stanley
strikes out again.
That's just perfect
Shit Stain Stanley.
Oh.
I love that.
That's way better
than Sus Stanley.
Who calls me that?
What?
No one.
Probably no one.
I don't know.
What took you so long, man.
Hey, you brought the wine.
Yeah, I messed up my phone.
The battery's all jacked up,
it's not even turning on.
I don't know.
Stanley, come on, I'm
starving, let's go.
All right.
Okay, okay, so, so
what are they like?
Well, I'm definitely not
picking up orgy vibes,
but one of them's
into me, the blonde.
- Hey, nice man.
- Yeah, we'll see how it goes.
I mean, I'm there to wing
man Jaxon, all right.
Yeah.
You're a good friend.
Okay, so where does that
leave me with the other one?
Are you even into girls, bro?
What?
Yeah, of course.
I mean, listen, I'm cool
with the rainbow tribe.
I've just never really
seen you with girls.
Okay, I've had
plenty of girls okay.
And I'm not gay.
I'm not, I'm not, I'm
just, I don't know.
I'm just, I'm not
good with them okay.
Okay.
Or people.
You're really great
with electrical boxes.
You're just trying
to cop our style.
It's cool, it's cool, all right.
Just fair warning.
The other girl in there,
Mia, or something,
she's kind of a wet
rack, so good luck.
Okay.
Okay, wait, wait, how
do I look, honestly?
You look great, man.
Let's go.
Okay, okay.
Now, Jaxon, where are these
imaginary friends of yours?
Don't tell me I made all
this food for nothing.
Yeah, I.
Just in time.
Just in time for our
guest of honor to arrive.
There he is.
Stan my man van dam.
Oh God.
Yeah.
This food looks amazing.
It must have taken you
what all day to cook?
You know, it did take
me a while to make.
She loves to cook and I of
course helped to make dessert.
And what'd you do Mia?
You set the table.
Yes, actually I did.
Dig in guys.
This is delicious.
Can you pass the wine.
Yes, absolutely.
Oh, keep going.
So, how do you boys
all know each other?
Oh yeah.
So Rex and I were college
roommates and current roommates.
And Stanley and I go way back.
Basically childhood friends.
Oh really?
I don't think I have any
childhood friends left.
Hey.
Oh, nevermind, sorry.
Listen, all I'm saying
is that it's really rare
to keep friends
around that long.
So that's it.
That's the big friendship story.
No, come on.
Story time.
Oh, well, so, I mean, Rex and
I went to Pinnacle College.
Boo.
Okay, okay, okay, I got
a story, I got a story.
All right, so freshman year,
I don't know anyone,
right, not a soul.
I come into my room and
I'm waiting for my roommate
and I'm waiting and I'm
waiting and I'm waiting.
Finally.
I get a knock at the door.
Who is it?
Oh him?
No, it's Cody, this other guy.
But he introduces
himself as Jaxon.
I thought you said that he
was your first roommate.
Okay, just wait.
So he comes in, he tells me
I'm his roommate now, right.
So he goes in, takes
one look at my bed,
which is all made up
and it's perfect, right.
He goes right to
that bed, lays on it,
claims that it's his bed now,
doesn't even gimme a blanket
for the rest of the night.
And I'm sleeping on
this bare mattress
for the rest of the
night, right, why?
Because you lack fortitude.
Big words.
Why Rex?
Because I fought a what?
Let me guess, because
you didn't know anyone.
Yeah, so then Jaxon comes in,
this guy the next morning,
starts jumping up
and down on my bed.
And that's how I met Jaxon.
And where were you, Jaxon?
Oh, I was at one of
those ABC parties.
Yeah, came back a little drunk.
I love those.
The last one that I went to,
I wore this like really sexy
duct tape dress that I made.
And it gave like
trailer trash boutique.
Chic.
I love it.
And you?
Any fun, albeit
humiliating stories
about yourself or Jaxon
that you'd like to share?
You know, I'm not
too sure about that,
but what I do know is
these biscuit are amazing.
They kind of remind me of
this one diner on our street.
Oh, what's the name of it?
Oh, I can't remember it.
No, it is right down
the street from here.
What?
I can't remember.
Dude, don't stress it, bro.
You'll have an aneurysm.
No, no, it'll come to me.
It'll come to me.
Yeah, I'm intrigued.
I mean, if the recipe's so
similar, I'll have to sue.
It's a family recipe.
Let's not forget about the wine.
You have more glasses?
Yeah.
Mia, could you get
the wine glasses?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Jaxon.
Thank you.
Just like in college, right.
That's right.
Well, should we toast
now that we all have
liquid in our glasses?
Whoa, y'all toasted
with empty glasses?
That's bad luck.
Oh my God, Rex.
That is exactly what she said.
You're so smart
To eating good food.
To beautiful people.
To playing stupid games.
To dessert.
To winning stupid things.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Cheers.
Aren't we supposed to toast
before we start eating?
Not necessarily.
Some Eastern cultures,
like the Japanese,
practice a mid meal toast.
None of us are Japanese.
Well, witches and Pagans
also incorporate toasts
throughout meals, to
honor deities and spirits.
I like that you're into
that woo-woo stuff, babe.
Babes are for boys, Jaxon.
Wait, did you just
call me a boy?
Well, I'm not saying
the shoe fits,
but it's definitely
a small shoe.
What the?
I think what she's saying
is that you got a small.
Well, some shoes grow
and some shoes show.
Hmm.
Is that what you call it?
You must have stage fright.
I love, love.
I love that you love, love.
I really like the
plates you chose.
Oh, thanks.
They're not mine.
I don't really live here.
Oh.
You're afraid of heights.
You know, my mom
always said that
it's not the number of
choices that you have,
it's the wisdom to choose right.
Where was your mom a month ago?
I coulda used some
of that wisdom.
She actually lives in
assisted living now, so.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
No, it's cool.
Sorry, yeah.
I'm not very good at small talk.
That's okay.
I'm not either.
Maybe we could be the
awkward two of the night.
They better not put
us on the same team.
I bet we'd be unstoppable.
Whoa, gnarly scratch you there.
Wow, how'd you get that?
Whoa, your girl's been
out in the streets.
Did you just call her a hooker?
What?
No, no, no.
Yeah, I think what he
was saying is that.
He can speak for himself, babe.
So Rex, what did you mean by
she's been on the streets?
Yeah, that she's on the
streets fighting, right,
like a, like a street fighter.
So you don't think
she got that scar
from being a dirty whore?
No, no, no, not at
all, not at all.
Well damn, because Riley
and I have a bet going
that she got it
from doing the nasty
with the lumpy neighbor.
You're disgusting.
Oh, come on Mia.
Everyone's a little
freaky sometimes.
Yeah, especially you bitch.
Oh my God.
Well, maybe you get a cool
scar when it all heals.
Oh, I hope it doesn't scar.
No scars can be cool.
Like Al Capone or something.
Gee, what I've always
wanted to look like.
Or you could look like
that legend, you know,
the one about Artemesia scar?
Yeah, the Artemes thing.
Anyone want more wine?
Yes.
Artemesia, like from Greece.
Yeah.
Legend says that
during a naval battle,
she was being pursued
by an aggressive enemy.
Now she thought she was trapped.
So she rammed her ship
into a friendly vessel
making it look like she
was on the enemy's side.
The enemy retreated.
I mean, she lived with like
a wicked scar afterwards,
but it became a
symbol of her cunning.
Well, I don't wanna
live with a symbol
of my clumsiness forever.
Yeah, sounds like the just
couldn't afford concealer.
Well, I like the sound
of a badass bitch
using her goddess given
talent to outsmart the men
and live happily ever after.
It's not super clear if she
lived happily ever after.
Ugly chick doesn't even
get a happy ending?
She disappeared from history
not too long after the battle.
I mean, other legends suggest
a, a darker ending, but.
Riveting stuff, Stanley.
Thank you for the
history lesson.
That does not bode
well for my scar.
I guess just don't do
what she did in the end.
Okay, I will try not to
disappear from history.
Or make any deals with
mischievous creatures or guys.
What the?
Is everyone okay?
Let there be light.
I thought this was
dinner and a game night.
Not dinner in a light show.
Right.
Oh, don't look at me, I
paid the electric bill.
What's the matter boys,
afraid of the dark?
What was that?
Mia, go check.
Go check on her.
What?
No, Jaxon, you go.
No, no, no, Jaxon stay
here with me, just in case.
Don't be a wuss,
just go check on her.
Bro, I have no light.
This isn't Versailles.
Yo, Mia, you okay?
Yo, she's not answering.
Hey Mia.
You good?
Hey Mia.
You okay?
Boo.
Okay.
Yeah, ha, ha, ha very funny.
It looks like your
neighbors still have power.
Great, must be the breaker.
Oh, call Screech.
Who?
That's what they
call their landlord.
Yep, he's gonna love
hearing from us tonight.
It's the third time this month.
So, I guess dinner's over.
Yeah, this is fun guys, thanks.
Bro, where you going?
Dude, chill out, sit down.
What are we gonna do now?
Oh, we can still play the game.
We have enough candles
to open a wax museum.
Hey Rex,
help me.
So what, this is normal?
Happened a few times
since I've been here.
Huh.
How do you live like this?
Is she always so?
Intense.
No, hot.
Well, she seems more smitten
with you than I've seen her
with than any of the other guys.
What do you mean, other guys?
Other guys, men, friends.
Friends?
What, like platonic friends?
Yeah, something like that.
All right, yeah, I get it.
'Cause we have a
connection, you know.
What's taken her so long?
Are you okay?
Screech says he won't
be here for a while.
Did did he say it was the
breaker or the transformer?
I don't know.
He usually just comes
and like flips a switch,
goes into the electricity
room and then it's on.
Like magic.
Yeah, so until then
we're light challenged.
Did somebody call for
some alternative lighting?
You know what I'm somewhat
of a handyman myself.
I could probably take
a look at it for you.
That's right.
My guy Stanley can fix it.
Yeah, I'm sure you're
a super handy guy.
But the landlord
is, what's the word?
Insured.
Insured.
Yeah, so let's hold
off on that for now.
I guess it's up to
us to set the mood.
Yep.
- Nice throw.
- Good catch.
So we gonna call it quits or?
What?
No, we've got so
many board games.
Yeah, and I should probably
stay until Screech gets here,
you know, so I can protect you.
Mm, well that's a
dated statement,
but you're cute so
I'll let you stay.
Let?
Oh, I'm sorry, I'll
allow you to stay.
No, it's still a
little dark in here.
Well, I do have some glow
sticks left over from a rave.
Yeah and I've got my
camping lantern in the car.
So I'll just go grab that.
See hun, ask and
you shall receive.
Come help me find
the glow sticks.
The glow sticks are
in the bathroom?
No, but I like to
take opportunities
and this seemed like a
good one to get you alone.
Close the door.
Glow stick, shmo sticks.
Take your shirt off.
I'm taking the get to know
you part of dinner literally.
That's the best interpretation
I've ever heard.
Best reveal of the night.
What, I thought you
said we had a minute.
Hey, do you have
another lighter?
This one's outta juice.
Yeah, just a sec.
What the fuck?
Hope you didn't miss the bowl.
I'm a perfect shot.
I'm sure you are.
Ew, Jaxon killed a lantern.
It's not the vibe.
All right.
All right, pick a board game.
Anyone else, do you
need any more wine?
Me.
Maybe just bring the bottle.
So this is the game collection?
Yeah.
What?
You don't like it?
Hip Hop Flamingo.
"Fun for the whole family.
"Be the first to fill your
basket up with flamingos and win.
"Ages two through seven."
Too juvenile for the occasion.
How about Skip Bob?
I'm pretty sure I
remember how to play this.
Count the cards, make
sure they're all there.
I think I remember there
being an issue last time.
Mia, was there an
issue or you lost?
Issue.
Yeah.
No bueno, you're
missing some in here.
I mean, I'm down for anything,
as long as there's
a complete game.
I've never heard
of this one before,
Quest For Truth Minutia.
We just got that one.
Oh my gosh, I love that game.
We actually got a lot of
new games just for tonight.
Any objections?
None here, let's hit it.
QTM it is then.
All right.
Okay.
Watch the wine.
All right, take your pick.
Me first.
I want belly dancer.
Yes.
- Okay.
I'm definitely taking
this guy right here.
Okay, this one looks nice.
Guess that leaves
this one for me.
Perfect, strong guy.
Okay, this looks extensive.
Okay, let's take a look.
How do we play this game?
Okay, okay, so the
point of the game
is to spell the game word,
which I guess we all
choose beforehand.
And, okay, so we take
turns rolling dice.
And if we land on
a letter space,
we take a letter
from the letter bag
and if we land on task,
we pick up a task card
and I guess we just
do whatever it says.
Oh yeah, complete the
task within the timeframe
and we are rewarded
with a vowel.
And if we land on the jail
space, your player has to sit out
and you have to go
to the timeout space.
So all we have to do to
win is spell a game word
before the other team.
Yeah, this is way too difficult.
Okay, let's just start.
And by the time it's my
turn, I'm sure I'll get it.
First we choose teams.
All right ladies,
home field advantage.
Yes.
Girl power.
All right boys, looks like
we're in a competition
to spell a word.
All right, who's first?
Ladies?
I'll go first for us.
I believe we have to
choose our game word first.
Right you are.
There, there.
I'm kind of digging
the word hoodwink.
Oh, double vowel.
Okay, maybe not.
Okay, let's see.
What about gardening?
It's not too long.
Do it?
Great, it's decided.
All right, there you go.
I think that means you
take a letter from the bag.
That was easy.
I think it's the other
cards that require more.
You're up.
What's it say?
Oh,
"It's time to put your
deception skills to the test.
"Fool the opposing team
with two truths and a lie.
"If they guess correctly
no award is given.
"However, if they
guess incorrectly,
"your team will be awarded
one vowel, the letter I."
Uh-oh, stakes just got higher.
And your time starts now.
Um, uh.
Time's a ticking.
Fuck, two truths and a lie.
Bro, why can't I
think of anything?
I don't know, think
of something man.
You got like 30 seconds.
Okay, okay, okay.
I was adopted by my aunt.
That's one.
I once drank an entire bottle
of tequila in one night.
That's two.
I once met Tom Hanks
in a movie premiere.
That's three, and just in time.
All right ladies,
what do we think?
I personally think
he drank the tequila.
It's the other two for me.
I'm leaning toward
the Tom Hanks one.
I mean, what are the odds?
But the last one
is always the lie.
It's the last one.
Agreed.
All right, so ready to
lock our answers in?
Ready.
So babe, how'd we do?
Damn it?
Wait, so were you really
adopted by your aunt?
Yeah, when I was eight.
So what, we don't
get a vowel now.
No.
If they would've gotten it
wrong, we would've gotten it.
That's so fucking dumb.
That's okay, champ, you'll
have another go at it.
All right, let's
go back to the part
where you were adopted.
What happened to your parents?
My mom was a drug addict
and my dad dipped out when he
found out she was pregnant.
So yeah, American dream.
Depressing.
My turn, gimme.
Oh.
Don't, don't, don't touch it.
The number still counts.
Adds up to five.
Okay.
I love a good task.
Invasive.
Well, what did the card say?
"Fuck, marry, kill.
"A devious icebreaking task to."
Wait, what is this?
Essentially I get to pick
which one of you
boys I would fuck,
which one I would marry
and which one I would kill.
And if you get it right,
you get a wild vowel,
which I guess is some
sort of play on wild card.
Oh, I get it.
This is like a perverted
mashup of a bunch
of like other games.
Piece of cake.
Let's go.
Okay.
Your time starts now.
What?
Marry, kill.
This feels weird to talk about.
Dude, time's ticking.
She probably wants
to either Rex or me.
No offense, Stanley
but you're probably
the kill target here.
So, which just leaves
which one for which?
Yeah agreed.
Fuck, all right,
let's just write this.
And time.
All right, Celeste,
what did the boys say?
Fuck Rex, Marry Jaxon
and kill Stanley.
Interesting.
How'd they do?
Well,
I said for the purposes
of the game, of course,
and because I am a good girl,
that I would fuck Rex,
but I would marry Stanley.
You seem like you know things
and that could come in handy.
- Really?
- Which means
sadly I would have
to kill you Jaxon.
But no hard feelings.
And sadly, that means there
are no vowels or wild for you.
This is bullshit.
This one's competitive.
These games aren't even hard.
Relax bro, it's
just the beginning.
Yeah whatever.
Here, I find the more I drink.
The better I am at games.
All right, I'll
bring it home for us.
Task it is.
"Enter a realm of intrigue
and hidden meanings
"where every gesture
holds a secret.
"Can you embody an object
"without revealing
its enigmatic nature?"
What does that even mean?
Oh, oh, it's like
charades, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
supposed to find an object
and then act it out and
then everybody guesses.
Wait, so like they could
win this round too.
Yeah, yeah it says,
"Only the team that successfully
discerns the hidden object
"will claim the
sought after prize.
"A valuable vowel A."
You better pick good, bro.
Let's do it.
This is kind of a weird game.
Yeah, but it's perfect for
getting to know each other.
Yeah.
How else would we know that
Jaxon's an orphaned alcoholic.
Wonder what it
reveals about you.
Pen, pen.
Thanks.
All right, you guys ready?
Ah, ballerina.
Do you see a ballerina
in this apartment?
A ceiling fan, a ceiling fan?
No, no.
Ah.
My hair removal cream.
What room was he last in?
Maybe we can guess it that way.
No cheating.
He's getting anxious.
He was in the kitchen,
in the kitchen.
Oh, oh, it's the food.
The chicken.
Yes, rotisserie chicken, yes.
Yes.
Yes.
You looked like a
witch burning in Salem.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, don't quit your day
job to become an actor.
Don't listen to them, bro.
We got our first letter.
And it's a vowel.
Okay it's one letter
to one letter.
Yeah, but it's
yours a vowel too?
Drink your wine.
Okay, okay, okay, let's go Mia.
Uh-oh, straight to jail.
Oh, okay, okay, so,
"Either your player can go to
jail and you miss two turns,
"or you yourself leave the
room and only miss one turn."
Hmm, I see a room
way down there.
My dad used to make
us stand in the corner
when we were in timeout.
Okay.
Jail, here get in.
Your closet still has power?
That light stays on
when the power goes out.
I mean, when the power goes
out, the light turns on.
Maybe you can help us
figure that out, Stan.
What was that about?
She's just a little
claustrophobic.
Should she be in there then?
Don't worry, she loves
conquering her phobias.
Right, Ri?
Yes, yeah.
We'll let you know
when to come back out.
Well, this feels strange.
Just roll us an easy letter.
"It is time for a quest.
"Find an object that
relates to the game word.
"Time is of the essence.
"If you're successful, your
prize is a coveted vowel, E."
Good luck finding
anything gardening
related in here.
All right, you ready hun?
Um okay.
Go man.
- Okay, okay.
- Go.
- Dude, hurry up.
- That's it, go Stanley.
Um.
Dude, go.
Hurry up, man.
Find something.
- Come on, Stanley.
Hurry the fuck up, Stanley.
Dude, we are
running out of time.
- Come on, Stanley, let's go.
- Hurry up.
I think this should count.
Nicely done, Stanley.
Let's go.
Bring it home for the boys.
Clutch.
Here, Stan.
- Yeah.
And the boys pull ahead.
Let's go.
Can I come out now?
Actually, yeah. I think
this is the perfect time
for a bathroom break.
I could use a break.
You can come out now.
We're going to the
bathroom, Mia, join us.
Why do girls always do that?
They're pack animals.
Oh.
Of all the things the
nerd could have cropped.
We have plants everywhere.
Hey, it's okay.
It's still so early.
Yeah.
It's not a big deal.
Oh, it's not a big deal?
It doesn't bother you
with it out on the table.
Make it a big deal and
it's gonna be worse.
Whatever, let's just finish
this never-ending game.
I feel like we should just
finish this game already, yeah.
I think it's kind of fun
considering the lack of lighting.
Yeah, I mean, I just want
some more one-on-one time
with Riley, you know.
And man, this game is bringing
out your dark side, bro.
It's not the game man, it's
Celeste, she's frustrating.
Yo Stanley.
Earth to Stanley.
You in there?
Yeah, I'm here.
What, what, what are we saying?
The girls, what do you think?
Yeah, they're, they're nice.
Yeah, it seems like you and Mia
are a little more than nice.
Yeah, I think she's pretty cool.
You should go for it.
Thanks, yeah, I for sure will.
Yeah and Jaxon here
should probably lay off
the game a little bit,
you know, not be so competitive.
Chicks aren't into that man.
No, I know she's into me.
How?
We met a while ago
and we just had a
little moment there.
You're had a moment?
Mouth to mouth.
You gave her CPR.
Yeah.
So we chat back and forth
for like a week or two
and then bam, ghosted.
What happened?
I don't know.
Maybe that's the part about
her that makes me crazy.
It's just the whole
hard to get routine.
She zombied you.
She what?
It's this new thing I read
about that happens in dating.
Basically it's when you
thought someone ghosted you,
but they rise from the dead
and they reach back out after
disappearing for some time.
I like that actually.
And I wouldn't mind
eating her brains out.
Yeah.
Eating whose brains out?
Oh, hey babe.
Shall we get back to it?
We are back to the top.
Let's do it.
Nice.
All right, two truths
and a lie again.
Oh, but this time,
if we get it right,
we get to take
any of the letters
your team has collected so far.
You left that part out.
Details.
My bad.
All right, here we go.
Why don't we put your
childhood trauma on display?
Let's see.
I've eaten a
scorpion once before.
I've summoned up the
courage to go bungee jumping
when it was raining.
And I.
Time's almost up.
Give us one that I
might actually know.
And I, and I um,
and I, I was more into Cody
than you when we first met.
That's definitely a lie.
She hates Cody.
But what if it's not?
What if you shut the fuck up?
- Well, what?
- Because you don't know.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
I mean, let's think about
this strategically, right,
if we wanna win.
What's there to be
strategic about?
You're overthinking this.
It's Cody, right.
Besides the last one's
always the lie, remember?
That's what I thought.
So speak now or forever
hold your peace.
All right, is that
your final answer?
First night I met Celeste,
she told me she ate ants
in Guatemala or something.
So scorpion isn't far off,
plus it's way too random
right off the bat.
Definitely real.
Again, if you're
gonna eat a scorpion,
you'll bungee junk.
Listen, I don't have to
know if she has or not
to tell you she has.
'Cause she loves
a little danger.
Look at her.
I hope I'm not
speaking out of turn,
but I know you enough to know
you're a little thrill seeker.
I've seen your tattoos
and hey, I'm not judging,
I'm just saying that's
the vibe you put out.
So yeah, scorpion
true, bungee true.
Which brings us right back
to the obvious answer I
was telling you all along.
Plus what you don't know
is when we got here,
she pulled me in her room
to ask me if Cody
was coming tonight.
Why?
Because she fucking
can't stand him.
So yeah, Cody, final answer.
Letter, please.
I.
What?
I told you, I'm
afraid of heights.
So, no bungee.
Wow.
It meant nothing.
I ended up liking
you more anyways.
Are you serious?
Can we talk for a moment?
Look, it didn't mean
anything, I swear.
You're here with me now and
that's all that matters.
Cody, come on.
It was just an initial thought.
Plus, once we're done
playing the game.
All right, whatever.
Fuck Cody.
Exactly.
Yo, you good?
Yeah, all good.
Right?
Oh shit.
There goes Humpty Dumpty.
I'm sorry.
I'll buy you another one.
There isn't another one.
What do you mean?
You can get one
of these anywhere?
What?
Why are you looking
at me like that?
If it wasn't for a
stupid three inch rug,
it wouldn't have happened.
Dude, you're really gonna
blame this on the fucking rug?
Yeah, I am.
I gotta get outta here.
Right, come on.
No.
We have to finish this.
Fuck this, fuck it's over.
I know.
Just please stay.
I got some glue, we can.
I don't want your fucking glue.
Stop shouting at us.
It was an accident.
You don't get it.
Get what?
Mia is, right.
We have to finish the game.
We can play another game.
No, we have to finish the game.
It's your turn.
"Vowel or play.
"Seems you need a new mascot.
"The task is to create a
sculpture of whatever's available.
"Present a sculpture
that stays together
"for the time it takes
for the sand to fall
"and you win a wild vowel.
"Fail and you'll
be sent to jail."
It's almost like it
knows we broke the gnome.
He broke the gnome.
I think it was a we thing.
Just go already.
And here I thought
we smoothed it out.
Oh fuck.
It's not finished, man, hurry.
Fuck.
You totally a shit there, bro.
This is what I gotta
do to win this?
Yeah, I think so.
What the fuck?
That was fucking weird.
I had a weird moment.
What, what do you mean moment?
Yeah, what kind of moment?
I can't even begin
to explain it.
Well, you've had at least
two glasses of wine.
Your head's probably
just swimming.
Yeah, it's probably
just getting clear.
Oh, finally, it's your landlord.
Is anybody gonna get that or?
Be a dear, would you?
Anybody there?
It was probably just
the neighbor's kids
playing a prank or something.
That was weird.
Yeah, so you guys have
some menacing neighbors?
Something like that.
I guess that makes it my turn.
Should you check
your landlord's ETA?
Checked.
He's still not here.
How about it Riley.
Fix your face.
What's it say?
"Truth or truth bitch.
"Someone's hiding a secret.
"Spill the beans or
face the consequences.
"Remember, the game
knows when you're lying."
Did the game just
call you a bitch.
I've never seen that
card in there before.
Because if it was me, I
could understand that.
Okay.
So it's probably just a play
on truth or dare, right?
What's the prize vowel?
Doesn't say.
Wait, wait, wait.
You said you'd never
seen this car before.
I thought you got these
games four tonight?
I did.
I just, I looked through it
before you guys got here.
What the fuck was that?
Did everyone just see
those letters move?
You boys are being dramatic.
You're cut off from wine.
I didn't wanna say
anything earlier,
but I felt something
underneath the table.
Dude, I'm still on
those letters, man.
Those moved by themselves.
They're spelling liar.
You're all being ridiculous.
Just play.
What?
Let's just play the game.
Are you not paying attention?
Celeste and Mia are right.
The power is out and the
the lights are spooky.
The wine has us feeling special.
Let's just keep playing
a little while longer.
Stanley, flip the
sand dial thingy.
I'll go.
Okay.
So I hate shellfish
and I think green eyes are
the most beautiful thing.
So what, are we supposed
to guess what's a lie?
What the fuck is happening?
I don't think she told us what.
It warned us.
What the fuck are
you talking about?
I think they know more
than they're telling us.
Celeste.
What do you want me to say?
Yo, bro, I think we should go.
Yeah, I don't know
what the is going on,
but I think you're right.
Okay, can you help
me put a candle
at the point of each end here?
- Yeah.
- Perfect.
Oh, and can you grab
the empty chalice?
I can't believe we're
actually trying this.
Well, how's else can
we afford to live here?
Where us this playing from?
Don't touch me,
this is not how this goes.
How what goes?
Stop, make it stop.
Celeste.
It wants us to watch this.
Doesn't this all feel
a bit too medieval?
It's exhilarating.
Trust me, it'll work.
Maybe nothing will even happen.
Well, if that's the case, then
why are you recording this?
Great start to my
photography career.
The girl who captured
a Djinn on camera
should score me enough
hype to get off your couch.
It'll work.
Trust me, it has to.
You would not believe
how difficult it was
to get everything on that list.
Please tell me that you
found a spirit board.
That I didn't get, but.
What is that?
It's the next best thing.
What?
We're supposed to
communicate with it.
How are we supposed
to do that with this?
It has letters.
Okay, assuming that's
okay to use for this.
What else do we need?
A vessel to house the
Djinn once we trap it.
What are we using for that?
Oh my God, it's the ugly lawn
gnome from apartment 220.
Gimme that.
Come here little guy.
Are we really doing this?
Yeah.
Are you in or are you out?
It's time.
Get the lights.
I thought you'd never ask.
What's that for?
Well, it's a blood pact.
Wait, what?
You didn't tell me that.
I'm not cool with that.
It's just a little blood.
No, no, no, I'm out
Mia, no, you are not out okay.
You have an opportunity.
Come on.
I'll get the money another way.
This feels wrong.
Look, I know it looks weird,
but I've heard that this
changes people's lives.
Yeah, Mia okay, listen to me.
Your mom, she could
never get out of it.
But you can,
you have the opportunity.
Come on, come on.
Oh yes, our girl.
"Thy will be born from
the flame of thou.
"We beseech thee with an
offering, a mortal soul's call."
Together.
We beseech thee.
Grant us the
earthly possessions.
Oh my God.
I don't like this,
I don't like this.
I don't like this,
I don't like this.
Is this a part of the ritual?
Wait, wait.
Okay, Celeste, what do
we do, what do we do?
I dunno, I dunno.
Oh my God.
"Play with me."
Are you okay?
No, no, no, I'm leaving.
What was that?
They made this happen.
We, we did not make this happen.
Okay.
That is all I can handle.
Thank you for the fun evening
and the interactive spooky game.
But I think I'll just
take a cab home, okay.
Actually, no, I'll just walk.
Yeah, yeah, I'm
with Stanley, man.
This is way too much for a girl.
Go ahead.
Hey, hey, hey let me out.
You coming?
What's so funny?
Your friend didn't leave.
He's still somewhere
in the apartment.
Can you let me out please?
What do you mean
he didn't leave,
we just watched him leave.
He can't leave.
None of us can.
Not until we're
finished playing.
Until it's finished playing.
Fuck this, man.
What the fuck?
I can't get out,
I can't get out.
You, you trapped us
here with this thing.
What the fuck do
you want with us?
Oh my God.
Seems it's Rex's turn.
No, I'm not playing.
You don't have a choice.
None of us do.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
No, no.
No, no, it was over here.
Task it is then.
"Can you outsmart the clock?
"Time for wicked trivia.
"Answer the trivia
question right in time
"to advance the next round.
"This is a solo challenge.
"Your teammates
cannot help you."
What's the trivia question?
"Within the finest culinary
arts, this ingredient,
"derived from a natural essence
lends itself into an elixir
"known as the forbidden recipe.
"What is this
obscure ingredient?"
What?
What the fuck is the
forbidden recipe?
I don't, I don't know.
My best recipe is takeout.
But buddy, you gotta think
of something, come on, man.
Advance to the next round.
What the fuck?
Ah.
- Come on.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Oh what the fuck?
I don't know, I don't
know, eggs, wheat flour.
You're just shouting
ingredients.
Well, okay flour.
Flour's and everything right?
Flour, flour.
I got it right.
No, you didn't.
The answer is human flesh.
What happens now?
Go to jail, right?
No, I won't.
No, no, I don't care.
I'm not going, I'm not going.
I don't, I don't
care, I'm not going.
Rex.
Rex.
Rex, wait.
This whole night is your fault.
Don't walk away from me bitch.
My best friend
just fucking died.
Just a drop in the bucket.
How long you been playing
this fucking game?
We never stopped.
So you've been playing
since that fucking
exorcism voodoo video.
Enough.
We have to keep playing.
What the fuck?
Are you insane?
I'm not playing anymore.
You wanna end up like him?
Jaxon
"Light or fright.
"Last around in a room of your
choice, losers go to jail.
"Winners move on
to the next round."
She gets the easy one.
Okay.
Here I go, I guess.
Okay, you can start
the sand dial.
Okay.
This isn't so bad.
It'll all be over
soon, it'll be.
It'll all be over soon.
It'll all be over soon,
it'll all be over soon.
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
Mia.
Open the door.
Open the door Mia.
Come on.
No.
What are you doing?
This isn't how we play the game.
We're fine as long as
we bring more players.
This is your fault.
Me?
This is your game, literally.
Stop, stop.
It's Mia, for God sake stop.
I don't think she's
playing anymore.
Okay.
Stan.
"Facts or fate.
"Make a true or false statement.
"If the opposing team gets
right, they win the round.
"If not, you win the round.
"Make it creative for the winner
"will move on to the next round.
"The loser will not."
So you have to make up a
good lie to win the round.
You got this buddy.
Uh.
Uh.
Uh.
True or false?
A common cause of electrical
circuit malfunctions in homes
is improper grounding.
False, false.
It's gotta be false, he's
presenting it as truth.
Stan.
True.
It was supposed to be you.
You're sick.
You lured us here.
You broke the vessel,
you change the rules.
We have to keep playing.
It's the only way.
You killed all of us.
We have to keep on playing.
See?
It's starting to move.
This is your fault.
This has never happened before.
Never in my life.
Never in my.
No.
No.
No, I was playing.
See, I'll wait, I'll
wait for them to play.
I'll play.
Death match round.
Same thing.
"Kill or be killed."
That's all it says?
Yes.
Get off of me.
Cody was a better lay
than you could ever be.
You fucking bitch.
28.14.
Hey man.
What's a handsome stud like you
doing on a fine
evening like this?
Uh, I'm working.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bet you do that a lot.
Yeah, I guess.
Hey.
I have this game.
It's pretty fun.
You should take a break,
play with us.
I actually have some
deliveries I have to get to.
He didn't want to play.
Should we try the pizza place?
I can feel me lose myself
Can't control it
Can't control it
In your picture perfect hell
Sugar coated
Sugar coated
And I'm not fine
I'm not angry
I'm just unwell
