1 THOMPSON: Oh-ho-ho, I heard this thing transports you to a whole other dimension! PETROS: Whoa, sick! I love dimensions! - THOMPSON: Yeah! - [BOTH LAUGHING.]
AMEER: [BORED VOICE.]
Welcome to Virtual Reality Ranch.
Have you tried VR before? PETROS: First time for the both of us.
AMEER: Well, we've got a lot of games.
For first-timers, I suggest Store Chores.
Have you guys played Kitchen Dash? THOMPSON: Oh, yeah! That's that awesome game where you have to cook for people - and it's super stressful.
- PETROS: Oh, yeah! AMEER: Well, this one's kind of like that.
It's $42.
55 an hour.
- You in? - PETROS: We're in! - For that much money - BOTH: It's gotta be good! AMEER: First I'll get you to put on these high-tech sensor gloves.
BOTH: Whoa! THOMPSON: This is that Swedish rubber nanotech technology! AMEER: That's the exact one.
PETROS: It's like wearing two power gloves at once.
So bad! AMEER: Next, I'll get you guys to put on these ocular-altering headsets.
BOTH: Whoa! [BOTH GASP.]
Whoa! THOMPSON: Whoa! I'm inside.
Are you inside? PETROS: Yeah! I see walls and hands.
I love this! What do we do now? AMEER: Next is where the fun begins.
Stay where you are.
THOMPSON: Whoa! [WATER SLOSHING.]
AMEER: We have wireless buckets.
Grab this.
- PETROS: Whoa, look at these controllers! - AMEER: Your task? Make this virtual lobby pristine and clean.
And go.
THOMPSON: Whoa, it even feels like a real mop! PETROS: Whoa! Oh! So cool! THOMPSON: Yeah, I'm doing the swing technique so I don't miss any dirt! PETROS: I'm doing a figure 8 to protect my L4-L5 discs! THOMPSON: Whoa! I'm even breaking a sweat! This is super realistic! [COINS JINGLING.]
PETROS: And we get coins too! So many coins! Oh! Whoa! AMEER: 10 coins gets you soap, 50 coins gets you bleach, and for 100 coins you get to keep playing.
THOMPSON: Oh, come on, Petros! I want that bleach! PETROS: Who doesn't? CUSTOMER: Hey, yo, watch where you're mopping, asshole! PETROS: Whoa! I'm being virtually yelled at by a virtual customer! It's so realistic! THOMPSON: Man, that was fricking off the rails! He was so mean! And we unlocked Level 2! BOTH: Yeah! COMPUTER: Level 2.
THOMPSON: Wow! It's so realistic.
It even smells like shit.
PETROS: Maybe we can jump down these pipes! - [FLUSHING.]

[CHATTER IN BACKGROUND.]
GULED: Don't want to point any fingers, but looks like someone forgot to do a dirty dish.
- VANCE: Oh, it wasn't me.
- FRANCO: Is it a bowl? GULED: Yes.
FRANCO: Then it's not mine.
I don't use bowls.
GULED: You don't use bowls? FRANCO: No, they remind me of painful haircuts - from my childhood.
- [SCISSORS SOUND EFFECT.]
GULED: Okay.
Uh, Tim? TIM: Yo, Guled, what's good? GULED: Did you leave a dirty dish in the sink? TIM: Oh, no, uh, that's Vance's.
He was using it last.
VANCE: Technically, yeah, I did use it last, but that dish was dirty before I used it.
- TIM: Gross! - VANCE: It's not gross.
I cleaned it and then I used it, then I left it dirty for whoever made the original mess, thus absolving me of all dirty dish debt.
TIM: Wait, no, no, you're still dirty dish indebted to me.
Remember when I cleaned up after you made gazpacho? VANCE: You licked the dishes.
TIM: Well, Guled thought they were clean - because he ate off of them.
- GULED: Oh, God! Dirty dish debt is bullshit! Just clean your dishes! TIM: I do! With my tongue.
GULED: No, with soap and water! TIM: No.
What? That tastes bad.
I mean, it's on Vance.
VANCE: Oh, no, no, no.
I used it once, I cleaned it once.
It's not my responsibility.
GULED: Well, I'm not cleaning it.
FRANCO: I'm not cleaning it.
- Called it! - VANCE: Oh, me either! TIM: Well, I refuse to clean at all.
GULED: Like, seriously, how hard is it to put soap FRANCO: What are you talking about? You shouldn't be licking the bowl at all! - [ALL ARGUING.]
- GULED: Use some soap! - Hey! - [PLATE SMASHES.]
[SILENCE.]
GULED: If it's a filth-off you want, then it's a filth-off you got.

FORD: It's true, guys, I'm telling you.
Honestly, watch out for that streetcar.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
GARTH: Yo! Ford, you ready to hit the club? I didn't know we were hanging out beforehand.
FORD: Oh, no, you're just in time.
GARTH: But you're having a pre-drink.
FORD: Yeah, we were.
GARTH: Seems weird you didn't invite me.
FORD: Oh, that's because this is a Tier One friend party.
GARTH: Tier One? FORD: Yes, I group my friends into different levels, ah, so this is Tier One only, the VIP.
FRIEND: Hey.
GARTH: Oh, that hurts to hear out loud.
FORD: Oh, come on, we all rank our friends! Uh, the first tier is the friend that helps you bury a body, and the tenth tier is probably the body.
GARTH: So I'm in the second tier? FORD: [LAUGHS.]
No, you're ninth.
GARTH: Ninth?! FRIEND: All right, let's do some shots, everyone! GARTH: Yes, I need a shot.
Let me drink off the sadness.
FRIEND: Oh, it's, um BYOG.
FORD: Bring your own glass.
GARTH: I know what the G stands for.
FORD: Look, it's nothing personal.
I see you, what, twice a year? I don't even know who you're dating.
GARTH: It's Tina, and we're married! FORD: You may have taken Tina to the altar, but now we have to alter our friendship.
GARTH: Sorry, are you breaking up with me? FORD: Well, now that you bring it up, or I brought it up Larry, can you come out here? - Larry's a Tier Niner, too.
- [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Garth, Larry, I only keep a certain number of friends, and sadly you're both in the bottom two, which means you're up for elimination.
GARTH: Wait, what? When did you get spotlights? FORD: I got them for my Drag Race parties.
GARTH: You've been having Drag Race parties? FORD: Yes.
And you would have known if you were Tier One too.
Two friends stand before me, but only one can remain.
Larry, you run marathons for fun, but I'm afraid our friendship may have run its course.
Garth, they say friendships last a lifetime, but ours needs a lifeline.
Ready? GARTH: For what? The club? FORD: No, I sent you a song yesterday.
GARTH: I thought you just wanted me to listen to it.
FORD: Listen, memorize, create an intricate dance routine - I thought that was all implied! - GARTH: Wait, what? FORD: The time has come for you to lip sync for your life! [MUSIC STARTS.]

Hurray, you stay.
- [FRIENDS CHEERING.]
- [UPBEAT MUSIC.]
FORD: Garth, our friendship has to end-ship.
GARTH: I can't believe you're throwing away our friendship.
We've known each other since middle school! FORD: Even in middle school you weren't that cool.
We only hung out because you had an above-ground pool.
GARTH: I should have let you drown.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES.]
FORD: Unnecessary.
Larry, good stuff! When did you get this made? LARRY: You didn't have to be so mean to him.
FORD: Ah, that's just the name of the game, Larry.
Now let's club it up! LARRY: No! Your friendship tiers have brought a friend to tears.
And I'm sick and tired of it after all these years! I'm sorry, but you're up for elimination! FORD: [GASPS.]
Oh, it's so bright! - [MUSIC STARTS.]
- FORD: What's the song? Give me a title at least.
Oh, I should have never introduced you guys to Drag Race! [FLIES BUZZING.]
♪ GULED: [SIGHS.]
VANCE: Looking for something to eat out of? GULED: What the ? That's my shoe! VANCE: Well, you can eat out of it all you want once you do these dishes.
GULED: Well, at that point, I'd just use a bowl.
TIM: Hey, Vance.
Nice bowl.
VANCE: Where's my fish? TIM: He's safe.
- [MICROWAVES BEEPS.]

♪ [HEAVY METAL MUSIC.]
EMO VANCE: I realize ♪ I escaped from my life! ♪ [MUSIC STOPS.]
Yeah, that's my music.
And it's not goth, okay? It's emo, and I like emo.
I'm 30 years old and I haven't got a fucking clue.
That's the most emo song ever made, by the way.
It's got all the ingredients: a lengthy and vaguely poetic track title and that's the track title.
Drums banging out the rhythm of an argument, scream poetry, poetry in falsetto, and beginner's bass.
[SIMPLE BASS NOTE PLAYS.]
Plus, the band's name is a reference to a tragic historical event: Titanic Loves Iceberg.
That's dark.
That's emo.
My family says that I should stop being emo and go talk to a professional.
Yeah, or maybe I could fuck off, listen to contemporary adult radio, smile 'cause there's a baby present.
I'd be lying if I hadn't said that I've thought about moving on.
It's just that I feel like nobody understands me 'cause my brain is being misunderstood.
You wouldn't get it.
- So I guess - EMO BILLY: Dude.
When's the meeting? EMO VANCE: Oh, yeah, pretty soon.
So I guess what I'm trying to say here is that - it doesn't matter who you - EMO EDGAR: Yo.
Where's the meeting? EMO VANCE: Uh, it's downstairs.
EMO EDGAR: Oh, I see.
EMO VANCE: Okay, the thing about being emo is - it doesn't matter where you - CHARLIE: Am I in the right spot? EMO VANCE: Yeah, okay? Yeah, you are.
Geez! EMO VANCE: All right, let's get started.
ALL: I am not ashamed of who I am.
I am not ashamed of dressing like this.
Though my adolescence is behind me, I do not have to dress like it.
Though I will never get a large loan from a bank, I like my music.
