Whoa-oh-ho! SINGER 2: How could something so grotesque sing so beautifully? SINGER 4: All this time I thought you were covering up your body because you were chubby.
MICHAEL: I'm not chubby.
SINGER 4: But it was actually because you had a twin that wasn't fully absorbed.

[STUDENTS CHATTERING.]
GYM TEACHER: [BLOWS WHISTLE.]
As some of you may have heard, the new sexual health curriculum got canned 'cause the higher-ups are freaking out at the mere mention of anal.
BRADLEY: [LAUGHS.]
Anal.
GYM TEACHER: Bradley, how about you take a lap? Yeah.
That's me being anal about education, Bradley.
Anywho, we're gonna be reverting back to the old sexual health curriculum from 1998.
No cheers for '98? Gimme a break.

Just taking a break from hosting Electric Dance to talk to you about your body.
Some of you might be like, "As if.
" Some of you might be buggin', and some of you might be experiencing changes to your peepees and lady-bits.
Hmm! DENISE: Why doesn't he just say penis and vagina? GYM TEACHER: We're not allowed to say that anymore, Denise.
DENISE: But it's the proper term.
GYM TEACHER: Denise! Can you do me a huge favour? - Take a lap! - DENISE: Ugh.
You are just like my stepdad.
COOL CAT LEON: Wazzup? I'm here to tell you that even if you're pretty fly for a white guy, there's a safe way to get jiggy with it.
Mm-hm.

SAMANTHA: Uh, I don't think I'm ready.
TEEN BOY: Alright, fine! If you don't wanna go to the dance with me, just say so.

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING.]
VANCE: I think I'm gonna go to bed.
This is too scary.
TIM: It's the fireplace channel.
VANCE: It always freaks me out when they put on another log.
FRANCO: Hey! Where's Guled? TIM: He went to bed.
He's got an early driver's test in the morning.
FRANCO: Oh, hey, Guled, I - TIM: Shh! - I think he's sleep-walking.
- VANCE: Yeah.
Sometimes he blurts out some real personal stuff.
GULED: I'm in love with Katherine.
[LAUGHTER.]
GULED: I don't want her to know I'm afraid to parallel park.
She'd never go for me if she found out.
FRANCO: [LAUGHS.]
- VANCE: Who's Katherine? TIM: I think that's his driving teacher.
VANCE: [LAUGHS.]
- GULED: I hate driving.
[LAUGHTER.]
GULED: My parents used to argue all the time in the car before they split.
TIM: Maybe this is a bit too honest? We really don't need to hear this.
GULED: I still resent my little sister for getting all the love as kids.
VANCE: I didn't even know he had a little sister.
GULED: Vance? VANCE: Yeah, buddy? GULED: You can be really off-putting.
- TIM: Oh, no.
- VANCE: Huh.
GULED: I'm constantly ranking and comparing the three of you in my head.
- You usually come out last.
- VANCE: Huh? TIM: We should wake him up.
- FRANCO: Why? Finally, we get to know what Guled really thinks of us.
GULED: Franco? That's all I got.
I barely think about you.
FRANCO: Well, I don't think about you either! VANCE: Jeeze.
That's rough, man.
FRANCO: At least he doesn't hate me.
VANCE: He doesn't hate me.
He just finds me off-putting.
FRANCO: Suck it up, baby! GULED: Where's all this anger coming from, Franco? You used to be so much more relaxed.
FRANCO: Shut up! Shut up! TIM: Alright, that's it.
I'm waking him up.
GULED: Tim, I think you're an awesome guy.
TIM: Let the man finish.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
VANCE: [SCREAMS.]
TIM: I just had the craziest dream.
Guled was being super mean.
VANCE: Yeah! Guled can be a real jerk sometimes.
FRANCO: And he caused his parents' divorce.
FRANCO, TIM, & VANCE: Ooh! - GULED: No! Ah! Oh, thank God! It was just a dream.
KATHERINE: Uh, Guled? You failed your driving test.
GULED: Oh.
I didn't say anything embarrassing, did I? KATHERINE: Just that you love me.

"He numbs himself with vodka shots.
"Why are you so afraid to feel, Cal? "I long for the day when I can "when I can look him in the eyes and say, "'You are enough.
' "'You're my friend, and I love you.
'" CAL: I love you too, bro.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
CAL: Your prose is lit, fam.
DJ: Oh, there he is! Big man talkin' about his diary! You wanna go? You wanna scrap?! DJ: My scrapbook's more of a vision board.
JEFF: It's all about the groupings.

- I'm gonna find love.
- JEFF: Aw! POOL HALL MAN: Man's finished working a 12-hour shift when my boy Finn linked me and said, "Yo! Come through.
"This party about to be litty.
"Trust!" I fell asleep, though.
Next 'ting, woke up to bare missed calls and a picture of him.
I coulda met Drake.
CLUB MAN: I just left a pop-up dispensary, and was on my way to a pop-up art installation.
When I arrived, the crowd was abuzz, and there was a black SUV leaving.
I just missed him.
STREET MAN: According to American Apparel in '08, he shopped there in '09.
So, so close.
BIKE MAN: I ride a bike.
He rides a bike.
So, yeah ALL: I coulda met Drake.
BIKE MAN: All I wanna do is go on a tandem bike ride with Drake through the 6ix.
Is that so much to ask? - [POLICE SIREN.]
- FRIEND: Aw, shit, man.
I told you we shouldn't have gone down this street.
Police Station Avenue? Ya didn't think.
RAY: Don't worry, I've been through this 100 times.
Just let me do the talking.
FRIEND: Okay RAY & OFFICER: I'm gonna need you to roll down the window.
RAY: Sorry about that, officer.
It's a little finicky.
RAY & OFFICER: Can I get your license and registration, sir? RAY: Yep.
[SIGHS.]
RAY & OFFICER: It says here your name is Ray Smith, and you're a resident of Oakwood Village? RAY: Yeah, sir.
I live in a bungalow.
FRIEND: Ray? How do you know what they're gonna say? RAY: Like I said, I've been through this a hundred times.
I'm a black man in a car.
RAY & OFFICER 2: Do you know why we pulled you over? RAY: Yeah.
I was going 45 in a 50.
We've just got a lot of cakes in the back, - so I wanted to go a little slow.
- FRIEND: Yeah, officers.
We're actually having a bake sale to raise funds for RAY & OFFICER 2: Shut the hell up.
RAY & OFFICER: Step out of the vehicle.
FRIEND: Oh, god.
RAY: Ow FRIEND: Ray! What the hell are you doing? RAY & OFFICER 2: Okay.
You both have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.
FRIEND: Hm? RAY & OFFICER: Hey, watch yourself, smartass.
RAY & OFFICER 2: You won't be mouthing off when we bring in the dogs.
RAY & OFFICER: I got 19 years on the force and I've never been more disrespected.
FRIEND: Hm? RAY & OFFICER 2: I've been on the force for 10 years because I'm a functionally illiterate high-school drop-out - who is too scared - RAY: To reach out for help.
RAY & OFFICER: I work out five times a week, and while I actively work out who I am on the outside, I'm deeply afraid of facing who I am on the inside.
RAY & OFFICER 2: I never learned how to swim because I'm ashamed of my body, so I wear a T-shirt when I go to the beach.
FRIEND: Hm! RAY & OFFICER: I had a wet dream about my mom.
It was very confusing.
Maybe it's because my dad was never around and I felt like I had to be the man of the house.
Maybe that's why I overcompensate, to prove my masculinity, because I so desperately want to be a man, but I know deep down, I'll just be a little boy.
OFFICER 2: That's the truth, partner.
RAY: Generally, this is where I get let off with a warning.
OFFICER: Okay, but RAY & OFFICER: Don't let us see you - in this neighbourhood again.
- RAY: Yeah, yeah.
I know.
Have a nice night, officers.
FRIEND: [EXHALES.]
OFFICER: Also, this road is blocked off.
You're gonna have to take Stand Your Ground Boulevard.
TRANSIT COP: Transit Authority! RAY: How can I help you? TRANSIT COP: I just wanna know why you're not taking public transit.
RAY: We have a car? TRANSIT COP: Sure.
