02x47 - Jonesy's Low Mojo
Posted: 11/14/23 08:04
:
Hey, Wyatt, fashion tip.
You don't need to wear the hat
until you're actually at work.
Huh?
Oh, why didn't you tell me I was
still wearing this?
I might as well wear a sign
saying, "I earn minimum wage."
I was waiting to see how long
it would take you to notice.
Pre-caffeine, no fair.
Oh, nuts.
What's chafing his butt?
Hey, one no foam soy chai latte.
One jet fuel mocha
stimulatte.
Man, do I need this coffee.
I was up till a.m. writing new
songs for the Burger Bible.
The what?
Burger McFlipster's has a
song bible and Tim ordered me to
rewrite them all.
I have the worst writer's block.
Wyatt, Bono would have
trouble writing an ode to a slab
of meat.
Don't beat yourself up.
(Giggling)
Excuse me.
We're on break and news flash,
you're not.
So hurry it up with those caps.
Next.
What are these?
You've got three choices
today.
Small, medium and large.
Go crazy.
(Screaming)
Good one.
We ordered no foam soy chai--
Yeah, yeah, I know.
What a pretentious waste of five
bucks.
. of it is just going to go
back into Grind Me marketing
machine.
What's your problem?
They all taste the same.
Stop kidding yourself.
Okay, let me guess.
You don't know how to make them,
do you?
Busted.
I don't suppose that book on
your lap is a training manual.
Okay, wait, Nikki is
reminding someone to read their
training manual?
This is too funny.
A trained monkey could make
lattes.
It's not that hard.
Do you even know what a real
coffee tastes like?
You're a coffee sheep.
Tell me what overpriced sludge
to drink, baaa!
(Whispering): This guy sounds
like you.
I dare you to drink a plain
medium regular coffee and see if
your world comes tumbling down.
You are gonna make me that
latte, blender boy.
Or else?
Or else I'll get your sorry
butt fired.
Ooh, now I'm scared.
Come on, Nikki, we're late.
Fine!
Uh!
(Grunting)
Can you believe that minimum
wage know-it-all wisecracking--
WYATT: Nikki?
He think it's just him
against the man.
So much smarter than the rest of
us.
WYATT: Nikki.
Nikki.
Can't even make a soy no
foam--
WYATT: Nikki!
What?
You may want to go easy on
the sugars.
You like him, don't you?
I do not like him!
(Cutlery clattering)
Well, I don't.

Wyatt got fired and Wayne's on
vacation.
Are you kidding me?
You're laughing, man.
Underground Video is your
territory now.
Here at the arcade I'm the
business.
Yeah, it's Jonesy.
He's tall.
Look at that.
Wow, he's cool, man.
Ooh.
When I come in, these punks
douse their drawers.
Watch.
Sweet.
(Burping)
And now for the game that
made the Jones-meister a legend.
Space Annihilator.
Huh?
Scram!
(Coin clanking)
Oh, yeah, bring it home to
Jonesy!
Ooh, did you see that?
You're a genius.
(Cell phone playing tune)
Jonesy's line.
He can't talk right now.
What's your name again?
Uh, Jen Masterson.
Tell him that if he doesn't
start picking up his underwear
around the house, I'm gonna hang
it off the Lemon!
Sorry, Nikki, where were we?
Well, that little slime ball
tells me to order a regular
coffee from--
Wait.
Are you talking about Grumpy
Hot Guy at the Grind Me on level
three?
You have a name for him?
We have names for all the hot
guys in the mall.
(Sighing)
I love the way Grumpy Hot Guy
never shaves.
Or smiles.
Look, we are not getting all
boy crazy over this guy.
But it's so fun.
We don't have any boys to go
crazy over ourselves.
Can't we at least go crazy over
your boy?
We can go proxy boy crazy.
(Cheering)
Okay, that's really weird and
he's not my boy.
Not interested.
Grumpy Hot Guy's hot for
Nikki.
Uh, no.
Grumpy Nikki is grumpy for
Grumpy Hot Guy.
What am I saying?
Okay, at least tell us what
sign he is.
Ugh!
Probably a Virgo.
You have anything caffeinated
back there?
I'll get you coffee.
Uh, it's my turn.
She is so hooked.
NIKKI: I heard that.
(Cell phone playing tune)
Hey.
What?
Cool.
Jonesy's about to beat the
all-time world record on Space
Annihilator.
Do you think he'll win a
shopping spree or a free spa
weekend?
Oh, that'd be good.
No, he'll have the highest
score on the planet.
He'll be totally famous.
That's it?
No spa weekend?
Come on with me.
We'll just go check it out.
(Video game beeping, chiming)
(Cheering)
All right, come on.
All right, dude, almost
there.
This is so exciting.
What does Jonesy see in this
place?
I can't stand it.
The noise, the mindless games.
Dude is points away from
the world record.
(Video game beeping)
If he wins this round, he'll
be immortal.
Right.
How long has he been here
anyway?
About four hours.
I better win soon.
I ate a burrito for breakfast
that's just dying to get out.
Oh.
Whoa, close one.
Come on.
Yes, he's in my sights.
This is it.
(Cheering)
All right, you did it.
You did it, bro.
All right, Jonesy.
I'm impressed.
Wow.
Hey, congratulations, man.
You did it.
You're looking at the Space
Annihilation world champion
here.
(Cheering)
BOY: Yeah, Jonesy.
These hands are a gift and I
take this gift seriously and I
plan to make the most of this
title to inspire young people
everywhere to spend as much time
in the arcade as is humanly
possible.
(Cheering)
You're the man, baby.
And as world champion,
Jonesy, you get this one month
free pass to every game in Game
World plus staff washroom
privileges.
All right.
(Stomach rumbling, farting)
I gotta go.
Oh!
JONESY: g*ng way--
Too bad Nikki wasn't here to
see Jonesy win.
I bet she and Hot Grumpy Guy
are hitting it off right now.
Are you talking about that
guy at Grind Me?
Because I asked Nikki if she
liked him this morning and she
said no.
You have so much to learn
about love, Wyatt.
They're all sisters.
You're late again.
Sorry, I went to the wrong
Grind Me.
All locations look exactly
the same.
People only spend five bucks a
pop on this black guck because
caffeine is a stimulant.
You know what you are?
You're a glorified caffeine
pusher.
You ought to be ashamed of
yourself.
Stone, you've got a customer.
Oh, it's Princess Latte.
One extra hot skinny silky
double whipped caramel chai
frappe latte with cinnamon
sprinkles.
You do realize that no
combination of anything in this
store can go into the blender
and come out edible?
MANAGER: Stone.
Get grinding, blender boy.
Okay, they're your
intestines.
Hmm.
What?
Yeah, I asked for cinnamon
sprinkles.
These sprinkles are chocolate.
Guess little barista boy's gonna
have to start all over again.
You have got to be kidding.
Everything okay here?
Is it?
Fine.
(Giggling)
Here it is.
Man, I take a good picture.
Does it bother you that
you're about five years older
than everybody else in here?
(Giggling)
Heck, no, it's a testament to
my staying power.
You're gonna play a few free
rounds on your champion game,
bro?
Oh, yeah!
Gentlemen, watch and learn.
(Gasping)
What happened to the score?
(Staple g*n clicking)
Norm, what are you doing, man?
Well, after you left
yesterday Nelson beat your high
score on Space Annihilator.
That kid is good.
(Sobbing)
(Cheering)
So you lucked out yesterday,
huh?
Nothing to do with luck, my
friend.
He's a legend.
Shut up, punk.
Let's settle this right now.
Two player Annihilator.
Winner takes all.
You're on.
I can't watch.
Me neither, dude.
(Video game beeping)
(Cheering)
(Both grunting)
Girls, girls, girls, there's
tons more silk scarf belts in
the back.
Not in pink.
So who wants a coffee?
You want to buy us coffees?
Uh-huh.
What's the catch?
No catch.
It's my turn.
But it's been your turn for
like eight months.
Remember the time you went
for coffees and took the rest of
the day off?
Or the time you got us decafs
instead of regular coffees and
our sales numbers sucked?
Yeah, good times.
Hey, is it so hard to believe
that I just want to be nice?
Yes.
(Video game beeping)
(Cheering)
Oh, come on!
(Electricity crackling)
You're going to get it.
Shut up, punk.
(Groaning)
(Laughing)
My boys.
NORM: Jonesy.
Norm?
When can you have this baby
fixed?
I've got a title to defend here.
It'll be ready when it's
ready.
Hey, big shot.
Show us what you're made of.
One on one Asteroid Hunter.
Oh, you're on like DEFCON.
Come on, come on!
Huh?
What a piece of crap game.
Get me a pop.
Get your own.
What?
Hey, the Illustrated
Hitchhiker's Guide?
What, you need pictures to get
through it?
You like me, don't you?
Excuse me?
I don't know anybody who
drinks this much coffee in one
day, especially this sludge.
Okay, you are completely
self-delusional.
I do not like--
Because I like you.
A lot.
Uh...
What, don't tell me the
sharpest tongue in the mall has
nothing to say.
Um...
I'm Stone.
Nikki.
Nice to meet you.
Want to catch a movie with me
tonight?
That indie film One Night in Red
Deer is at the Gigantiplex.
Sure, Red Deer.
Sounds, uh, yeah.
KIRSTEN: Welcome to the Khaki
Barn, have a khaki day.
Nikki's been back to Grind
Me.
Things are definitely heating
up.
(Sniffing)
Is that one mine?
Yep, here you go.
Hi, Nikki.
Ah!
(Screaming)
You weren't just hanging out
with Grumpy Hot Guy, were you?
Of course not.
Anyway, we're going to the
movies tonight.
Yeah, chick flick night.
(Screaming)
We were thinking of going to
see A Girl and her Hair.
Oh, uh, I can't.
I'm working late.
(Screaming)
We could wait until the late
show, right, Jen?
Yeah, I don't mind.
Um, actually, I'm kind of
tired.
I think I'll just head home
early.
Oh, okay.
Was it me or was Nikki lying?
Through her teeth.
You know what this means.
She's so hooked.
(Laughing)
(Screaming)
Hold still.
(Screaming)
Okay, we need to stay nearby
in case Grumpy Hot Guy shows up.
I don't want to miss a minute of
this.
I'll get some snacks.
No stakeout is complete without
mini brownie puffs.
Or Miss Piggy's chips.
Right.
He's a speed demon.
It could take weeks of full time
practice to beat him.
That little dude whipped your
butt?
No, he just won a few rounds.
I'll nail him tomorrow though.
Maybe it's time you retired.
You've already got the best
Space Annihilator score in the
world.
Yeah, for minutes.
Not helping, Jude.
Now you can pass on the torch.
To that little twerp?
Are you kidding me?
You guys don't know what that
arcade meant to me.
No matter what went wrong in my
life if I lost a hockey game or
got rejected by some chick, I
could walk into that arcade and
know I was money.
Well, if it's that important
to you, you need to get back on
your horse and win that title
back.
Yeah, make the mini dude bow
down to the mighty Jonesy.
You're right.
I'll take that title back from
that little fart no matter what
it takes.
Stealing, lying, cheating, sky's
the limit.
Thanks, dudes.
Not really where I was
heading with that.
Guess who?
Well, based on the smell of
fresh ground coffee, I'd have to
say Blender Boy.
The one and only.
Ready for the movie?
Sure, let's go.
Oh, Nikki?
Where are you going?
Uh, out.
But your shift doesn't end
for another hour.
I'm afraid I'm going to have
to take this young lady to
Emergency.
What?
Why?
She has a severe case of
corporate oppression.
(Giggling)
Well, better hurry, doc, my
soul's almost crushed.
(Laughing)
She has a soul?
I didn't just get you fired,
did I?
Uh, in my dreams.
Oh, I don't know about that
guy.
He's like a male version of
Nikki.
Yeah, it's like she's dating
her doppelganger.
You know, her double?
Her evil twin?
Oh, yeah, I read all about
this.
Dating someone exactly like you
can be brutal.
Especially if you're Nikki.
Yeah, she'd get on her own
nerves pretty fast.
This could be a disaster.
We've got to stop them from
getting too serious.
Let's follow them.
Oh, I guess this means we're
going to miss A Girl and her
Hair.
We are such good friends.
Don't forget the chips.
(Video game beeping)
(Video game sounds stopping)
Oh, sorry, man.
(Noisemaker squawking)
(Snickering)
NORM: Jonesy!
What?
It was an accident.
NORM: Jonesy!
What?
(Chittering)
NORM: Jonesy!
Oh, my.
I've dropped my change.
(Farting)
Oops.
(Laughing)
Smarten up, Jonesy, or I'll
take your gold pass back.
Just wait until tonight's big
match.
You'll see who's money.
Are your co-workers, like,
triplets or something?
Yeah, they're clones.
Manufactured at head office and
preprogrammed to get on my
nerves.
What about you?
What's with the java Joe job?
Just biding my time until I
graduate and then hitchhike
around Nepal.
Good plan.
Now stop hogging the popcorn.
I don't remember offering you
any.
Come on, hand it over.
Nuh-uh.
Come on.
Nuh-uh.
Give it to me.
Come on.
Are you kidding?
Can you see them?
What's going on?
Oh, no.
They're fighting already.
I knew it.
Oh, this could get ugly.
Poor Nikki.
Let's get down there.
Wait.
We don't want to embarrass her
unless it's absolutely
necessary.
We'll move in close, but stay
under cover.
Right.
Can I just-- sorry.
Excuse me.
Coming through.
Excuse me.
Scared yet?
I don't generally get scared
at comedies.
Too bad, I'm a good cuddler.
Easy, tiger.
(Whispering)
Hey, play along with me.
Don't turn around.
I need to teach somebody a
lesson.
What do you need me to do?
(Whispering indistinctly)
Nikki, thanks for offering to
pay for the whole evening.
That's okay, I stole all the
money from the Khaki Barn cash.
(Both gasping)
STONE: Good thinking.
Have anymore?
Uh--
NIKKI: No, but we can't lift
someone's wallet on the way out.
Nikki, have you lost your
mind?!
This guy is a criminal.
MAN: I'll hire him to shut
you up.
WOMAN: Shut up!
MAN: Get your fat head out of
the way!
These are my friends who
won't mind their own business.
Caitlin and Jen.
Hey.
BOTH: Hi.
So you knew we were here the
whole time?
Yep.
So you're not a thief?
Uh-uh.
Following you was Caitlin's
idea.
It so wasn't.
What are you two doing in
here?
We were worried about you,
Nikki.
WOMAN: Shut up.
You skipped our chick flick
date and lied to us.
Then went on a date with Grumpy
Hot Guy.
The name is Stone.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
I'm gonna have to ask you to
leave.
(Laughing)
Tonight is the night when
you stop being a pain in my
butt, little one.
Just hit start, so we can get
this over with.
(Video game beeping)
Ah, ah!
Come on.
Ahhh!
(Gasping)
ROBOTIC VOICE: Player one,
game over.
(Cheering)
Awesome.
(Thudding)
(Sobbing)
Look, Jonesy, the way you've
been acting, I'm gonna have to
take your gold pass away.
What?
My pass?
(Sobbing)
Come on, man, let's get out
of here.
Maybe you were right, Wyatt.
Maybe I am past my peak.
You should just take me out to
pasture and sh**t me.
Whoa, dude is messed up.
Hey, Jonesy.
Hey, there, beautiful.
Or not so messed up.
You know, maybe it is time to
hang up the old arcade trophies
and focus on more mature
pursuits like chicks.
Later.
Hey, baby, have you ever played
doubles on Space Annihilator?
(Giggling)
Dude's still messed up.
(Giggling)
Look, I'm sorry about my
friends.
They're a bit protective.
No worries, but now we have
to come back and see the movie
again.
Your treat.
Yeah, well, I think I'll be
choosing a good movie next time.
♪ Wee-ooh
Okay, then.
So I had a rotten time
tonight.
Yeah, me, too.
Me, too.
The worst.
Can I get your number, so I
can never call you?
Not a chance.
See ya.
See ya.
Okay, we are so sorry, Nikki.
We were just trying to help.
Oh, come on.
You two were acting like crazy
people.
Stone is kind of important to
me.
I don't want to blow it.
Promise me you won't tell the
guys yet.
I don't want Jonesy to hear
about this the wrong way.
Yeah, he's so sensitive.
Promise?
BOTH: I promise.
I give / odds that Stone
calls you today, Nikki.
Oh, it's way more like /.
Hey, remember, you promised
not to talk about it.
Here comes the guys.
Yo.
Hey.
Hi.
Hey, I heard you were class
act yesterday at the arcade.
There's nothing cooler than
knowing when to pass on the
glory.
Yeah, he made us proud.
Thanks for not hoisting my
dirty underwear onto the Lemon,
Jen.
Yeah, well, uh--
Who wants tacos?
I'm in.
Got any money?
Dude, is that your underwear?
Ew, gross.
Pretty crusty.
Thanks, Jen.

are hitting it off right now.
Are you talking about that
guy at Grind Me?
Because I asked Nikki if she
liked him this morning and she
said no.
You have so much to learn
about love, Wyatt.
They're all sisters.
You're late again.
Sorry, I went to the wrong
Grind Me.
All locations look exactly
the same.
People only spend five bucks a
pop on this black guck because
caffeine is a stimulant.
You know what you are?
You're a glorified caffeine
pusher.
You ought to be ashamed of
yourself.
Stone, you've got a customer.
Oh, it's Princess Latte.
One extra hot skinny silky
double whipped caramel chai
frappe latte with cinnamon
sprinkles.
You do realize that no
combination of anything in this
store can go into the blender
and come out edible?
MANAGER: Stone.
Get grinding, blender boy.
Okay, they're your
intestines.
Hmm.
What?
Yeah, I asked for cinnamon
sprinkles.
These sprinkles are chocolate.
Guess little barista boy's gonna
have to start all over again.
You have got to be kidding.
Everything okay here?
Is it?
Fine.
(Giggling)
Here it is.
Man, I take a good picture.
Does it bother you that
you're about five years older
than everybody else in here?
(Giggling)
Heck, no, it's a testament to
my staying power.
You're gonna play a few free
rounds on your champion game,
bro?
Oh, yeah!
Gentlemen, watch and learn.
(Gasping)
What happened to the score?
(Staple g*n clicking)
Norm, what are you doing, man?
Well, after you left
yesterday Nelson beat your high
score on Space Annihilator.
That kid is good.
(Sobbing)
(Cheering)
So you lucked out yesterday,
huh?
Nothing to do with luck, my
friend.
He's a legend.
Shut up, punk.
Let's settle this right now.
Two player Annihilator.
Winner takes all.
You're on.
I can't watch.
Me neither, dude.
(Video game beeping)
(Cheering)
(Both grunting)
Girls, girls, girls, there's
tons more silk scarf belts in
the back.
Not in pink.
So who wants a coffee?
You want to buy us coffees?
Uh-huh.
What's the catch?
No catch.
It's my turn.
But it's been your turn for
like eight months.
Remember the time you went
for coffees and took the rest of
the day off?
Or the time you got us decafs
instead of regular coffees and
our sales numbers sucked?
Yeah, good times.
Hey, is it so hard to believe
that I just want to be nice?
Yes.
(Video game beeping)
(Cheering)
Oh, come on!
(Electricity crackling)
You're going to get it.
Shut up, punk.
(Groaning)
(Laughing)
My boys.
NORM: Jonesy.
Norm?
When can you have this baby
fixed?
I've got a title to defend here.
It'll be ready when it's
ready.
Hey, big shot.
Show us what you're made of.
One on one Asteroid Hunter.
Oh, you're on like DEFCON.
Come on, come on!
Huh?
What a piece of crap game.
Get me a pop.
Get your own.
What?
Hey, the Illustrated
Hitchhiker's Guide?
What, you need pictures to get
through it?
You like me, don't you?
Excuse me?
I don't know anybody who
drinks this much coffee in one
day, especially this sludge.
Okay, you are completely
self-delusional.
I do not like--
Because I like you.
A lot.
Uh...
What, don't tell me the
sharpest tongue in the mall has
nothing to say.
Um...
I'm Stone.
Nikki.
Nice to meet you.
Want to catch a movie with me
tonight?
That indie film One Night in Red
Deer is at the Gigantiplex.
Sure, Red Deer.
Sounds, uh, yeah.
KIRSTEN: Welcome to the Khaki
Barn, have a khaki day.
Nikki's been back to Grind
Me.
Things are definitely heating
up.
(Sniffing)
Is that one mine?
Yep, here you go.
Hi, Nikki.
Ah!
(Screaming)
You weren't just hanging out
with Grumpy Hot Guy, were you?
Of course not.
Anyway, we're going to the
movies tonight.
Yeah, chick flick night.
(Screaming)
We were thinking of going to
see A Girl and her Hair.
Oh, uh, I can't.
I'm working late.
(Screaming)
We could wait until the late
show, right, Jen?
Yeah, I don't mind.
Um, actually, I'm kind of
tired.
I think I'll just head home
early.
Oh, okay.
Was it me or was Nikki lying?
Through her teeth.
You know what this means.
She's so hooked.
(Laughing)
(Screaming)
Hold still.
(Screaming)
Okay, we need to stay nearby
in case Grumpy Hot Guy shows up.
I don't want to miss a minute of
this.
I'll get some snacks.
No stakeout is complete without
mini brownie puffs.
Or Miss Piggy's chips.
Right.
He's a speed demon.
It could take weeks of full time
practice to beat him.
That little dude whipped your
butt?
No, he just won a few rounds.
I'll nail him tomorrow though.
Maybe it's time you retired.
You've already got the best
Space Annihilator score in the
world.
Yeah, for minutes.
Not helping, Jude.
Now you can pass on the torch.
To that little twerp?
Are you kidding me?
You guys don't know what that
arcade meant to me.
No matter what went wrong in my
life if I lost a hockey game or
got rejected by some chick, I
could walk into that arcade and
know I was money.
Well, if it's that important
to you, you need to get back on
your horse and win that title
back.
Yeah, make the mini dude bow
down to the mighty Jonesy.
You're right.
I'll take that title back from
that little fart no matter what
it takes.
Stealing, lying, cheating, sky's
the limit.
Thanks, dudes.
Not really where I was
heading with that.
Guess who?
Well, based on the smell of
fresh ground coffee, I'd have to
say Blender Boy.
The one and only.
Ready for the movie?
Sure, let's go.
Oh, Nikki?
Where are you going?
Uh, out.
But your shift doesn't end
for another hour.
I'm afraid I'm going to have
to take this young lady to
Emergency.
What?
Why?
She has a severe case of
corporate oppression.
(Giggling)
Well, better hurry, doc, my
soul's almost crushed.
(Laughing)
She has a soul?
I didn't just get you fired,
did I?
Uh, in my dreams.
Oh, I don't know about that
guy.
He's like a male version of
Nikki.
Yeah, it's like she's dating
her doppelganger.
You know, her double?
Her evil twin?
Oh, yeah, I read all about
this.
Dating someone exactly like you
can be brutal.
Especially if you're Nikki.
Yeah, she'd get on her own
nerves pretty fast.
This could be a disaster.
We've got to stop them from
getting too serious.
Let's follow them.
Oh, I guess this means we're
going to miss A Girl and her
Hair.
We are such good friends.
Don't forget the chips.
(Video game beeping)
(Video game sounds stopping)
Oh, sorry, man.
(Noisemaker squawking)
(Snickering)
NORM: Jonesy!
What?
It was an accident.
NORM: Jonesy!
What?
(Chittering)
NORM: Jonesy!
Oh, my.
I've dropped my change.
(Farting)
Oops.
(Laughing)
Smarten up, Jonesy, or I'll
take your gold pass back.
Just wait until tonight's big
match.
You'll see who's money.
Are your co-workers, like,
triplets or something?
Yeah, they're clones.
Manufactured at head office and
preprogrammed to get on my
nerves.
What about you?
What's with the java Joe job?
Just biding my time until I
graduate and then hitchhike
around Nepal.
Good plan.
Now stop hogging the popcorn.
I don't remember offering you
any.
Come on, hand it over.
Nuh-uh.
Come on.
Nuh-uh.
Give it to me.
Come on.
Are you kidding?
Can you see them?
What's going on?
Oh, no.
They're fighting already.
I knew it.
Oh, this could get ugly.
Poor Nikki.
Let's get down there.
Wait.
We don't want to embarrass her
unless it's absolutely
necessary.
We'll move in close, but stay
under cover.
Right.
Can I just-- sorry.
Excuse me.
Coming through.
Excuse me.
Scared yet?
I don't generally get scared
at comedies.
Too bad, I'm a good cuddler.
Easy, tiger.
(Whispering)
Hey, play along with me.
Don't turn around.
I need to teach somebody a
lesson.
What do you need me to do?
(Whispering indistinctly)
Nikki, thanks for offering to
pay for the whole evening.
That's okay, I stole all the
money from the Khaki Barn cash.
(Both gasping)
STONE: Good thinking.
Have anymore?
Uh--
NIKKI: No, but we can't lift
someone's wallet on the way out.
Nikki, have you lost your
mind?!
This guy is a criminal.
MAN: I'll hire him to shut
you up.
WOMAN: Shut up!
MAN: Get your fat head out of
the way!
These are my friends who
won't mind their own business.
Caitlin and Jen.
Hey.
BOTH: Hi.
So you knew we were here the
whole time?
Yep.
So you're not a thief?
Uh-uh.
Following you was Caitlin's
idea.
It so wasn't.
What are you two doing in
here?
We were worried about you,
Nikki.
WOMAN: Shut up.
You skipped our chick flick
date and lied to us.
Then went on a date with Grumpy
Hot Guy.
The name is Stone.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
I'm gonna have to ask you to
leave.
(Laughing)
Tonight is the night when
you stop being a pain in my
butt, little one.
Just hit start, so we can get
this over with.
(Video game beeping)
Ah, ah!
Come on.
Ahhh!
(Gasping)
ROBOTIC VOICE: Player one,
game over.
(Cheering)
Awesome.
(Thudding)
(Sobbing)
Look, Jonesy, the way you've
been acting, I'm gonna have to
take your gold pass away.
What?
My pass?
(Sobbing)
Come on, man, let's get out
of here.
Maybe you were right, Wyatt.
Maybe I am past my peak.
You should just take me out to
pasture and sh**t me.
Whoa, dude is messed up.
Hey, Jonesy.
Hey, there, beautiful.
Or not so messed up.
You know, maybe it is time to
hang up the old arcade trophies
and focus on more mature
pursuits like chicks.
Later.
Hey, baby, have you ever played
doubles on Space Annihilator?
(Giggling)
Dude's still messed up.
(Giggling)
Look, I'm sorry about my
friends.
They're a bit protective.
No worries, but now we have
to come back and see the movie
again.
Your treat.
Yeah, well, I think I'll be
choosing a good movie next time.
♪ Wee-ooh
Okay, then.
So I had a rotten time
tonight.
Yeah, me, too.
Me, too.
The worst.
Can I get your number, so I
can never call you?
Not a chance.
See ya.
See ya.
Okay, we are so sorry, Nikki.
We were just trying to help.
Oh, come on.
You two were acting like crazy
people.
Stone is kind of important to
me.
I don't want to blow it.
Promise me you won't tell the
guys yet.
I don't want Jonesy to hear
about this the wrong way.
Yeah, he's so sensitive.
Promise?
BOTH: I promise.
I give / odds that Stone
calls you today, Nikki.
Oh, it's way more like /.
Hey, remember, you promised
not to talk about it.
Here comes the guys.
Yo.
Hey.
Hi.
Hey, I heard you were class
act yesterday at the arcade.
There's nothing cooler than
knowing when to pass on the
glory.
Yeah, he made us proud.
Thanks for not hoisting my
dirty underwear onto the Lemon,
Jen.
Yeah, well, uh--
Who wants tacos?
I'm in.
Got any money?
Dude, is that your underwear?
Ew, gross.
Pretty crusty.
Thanks, Jen.
