"(Roscoe Lee Browne) This is the story of how a person got from point A to point Z." "Some call it fate, others, chance." "But whatever you call it, it sure is an interesting thing to ponder, don't you think?" "The twisted paths our lives follow." "How did you get here?" "The place where you are right now at this very moment." "What series of events brought you to this place?" "At this specific point in time?" "Where are you in life?" "Are things turning out the way you'd planned?" "And by the way, when was the last time you spoke with your parents?" "Don't you think you ought to give them a call?" "To thank them for the set of circumstances that brought them together, at a certain place, at a certain moment in time, when you were created." "Uhh, what were we talking about?" "How you got here." "Yeah." "Jesus Christ, I can't believe" "I'm still so... uh," "Stoned?" "Yeah!" "A glass of orange juice sure would hit the spot about now, wouldn't it?" "And some Tostitos." "That's it!" "Oh, man!" "That's exactly what I'm thinking!" "OJ and Tostitos!" "Jesus!" "It's like you're reading my thoughts or something!" "I am." "Whoa." "So go on." "What am I thinking about now?" "Well, there are many thoughts racing through your head." "The first concerns the orange juice and Tostitos." "Yeah." "And the second, the second thought, oh, how it vexes you." "U h-huh." "What is it?" "It is this." "Why are you having a conversation with Roscoe Lee Browne?" "Ha!" "Roscoe Lee?" "Holy shit!" "You're famous!" "Yes, I am." "I can't fucking believe I'm having a conversation with Roscoe Lee Browne!" "Okay." "Ready for number three?" "You bet I am, Roscoe." "Your third thought is simply this. ;" "[both] How in the hell did I end up on a ferris wheel?" "How did you know that?" "Because, you fucking pothead, you're talking to yourself." "[Gasp]" "Shit." "How the hell did I get here?" "[Video game music]" "[Jane, stoned] I guess maybe it was a little early in the morning to be getting stoned." "But whatever, you know." "It's not like I just sit around collecting checks from my parents or something." "I did that regional soda ad a while back," "Doctor Bjorn's Famous Old-Fashioned Root Beer." "Maybe you saw it?" "Anyhow, between that and unemployment I get by." "Bla-bla-bla." "All I know is this game is so fucking cool when you're high." "They say a true pothead stops getting the munchies after a certain point." "I mean, a true pothead wouldn't even say the word "munchies." I don't know what the true pothead would say," ""Munchos" or "hungries" or something." "[Chewing noises]" "At any rate, I still love to eat when I'm high." "So fuck you if you're too cool to get hungry when you're stoned." "My free one year supply of Doctor Bjorn's." "Neat, huh?" "I n the six months I've lived with my roommate, Steve," "I've never seen him get high." "[Bell rings]" "Not once." "He even kind of looks down on me for doing it." "God, you are so pathetic." "H uh?" "Here's the deal with Steve." "He scares me." "Oh, hi, Steve." "See what I mean?" "Steve's one of those "Dress in costume and wait in line for Star Wars" types, but angry." "Real anti-social." "I've always tried to stay on Steve's good side, who knows what can happen with a weirdo like that?" "[Gasping]" "Mm!" "Mm!" "[Cheerful music]" "I know he made that sign telling me not to, but I had a counter plan." "A really good counter plan." "I would bake Steve some more cupcakes." "Some even better cupcakes." "[Monkey screeching]" "And then," "I recognized the true nature of the cupcakes I had consumed." "Oh, shit." "[Techno music]" "[Steady buzzing]" "[Gong]" "Oh, fuck." "Listen, Jane." "I really busted my ass getting you this audition so please, please, please don't fuck it up." "It seems like you don't even give a shit about any of this." "Do you?" "Do you even give a shit?" "I give a shit." "Plan... need a plan." "My plan." "N umber one." "Buy more pot." "You know, so I can make more cupcakes for Steve." "N umber two. ; use the money Steve left for the power bill to purchase said pot." "That way I can bake some fresh cupcakes before he gets back." "Then I'll go to my audition." "I mean, number three. ;" "go to my audition." "I've never been to an audition this stoned before." "But I'd be willing to wager that I'd be damned good because I'll be even more in touch with my creative self" "That's not really a part of the plan." "Scratch that." "Four. ; hit the cash machine, zip on over to pay that power bill, pick up cupcake supplies at the store and head on back to home base to bake 'em up." "Not bad... for a person who happens to be quite stoned." "[Doorbell]" "You're baked." "No." "What makes you think that?" "Just, you know, the usual." "Actually, you better make it a full ounce." "I 'm gonna be making some cupcakes." "You got it." "(dealer) What's going on over there?" "Who's there?" "Is someone in my apartment?" "Man, you really are stoned." "N umber one. ;" "Buy more pot." "You're like 40 short." "Can I just... you know..." "Goddamn it, Jane, this is the last time." "You have to pay me back today." "No problem-o." "I 'm marking it down..." "in the book." "I just gotta hit the cash machine, my man." "(dealer) It's all about capitalism and shit like that, you know?" "Who creates the jobs?" "Where do they come from?" "The profits I make, for example, trickle down through the economy in ways I can't even comprehend." "It makes sense." "I 'm totally vibing you, dude." "Yeah, simple Reaganomics apply to the production of hemp." "Well, I don't think that really qualifies as Reaganomics, but..." "What are you talking about?" "Just because weed isn't taxed doesn't mean it exists in some sort of, you know, laissez faire paradigm or whatever." "Did you just use "paradigm" in a sentence?" "Yeah, man." "I mean, what you do is great and all," "God bless you for it, but it sounds like plain old market capitalism to me." "It's Reaganomics." "Trust me." "What about it is Reaganomics?" "The black market isn't taxed." "Listen, Jane, you're fucking stoned and I happen to be very knowledgeable about this." "Whoopee!" "You own a U V lamp." "Let's start the revolution!" "What the fuck do you know about economics anyway?" "Well..." "I majored in economics in college and graduated fucking Summa." "I think I know a thing or two about it." "I thought you were an actress." "Economics didn't really work out." "This is where I 'll be." "Meet me there with the money at three o'clock." "Yeah." "Okay." "(Jane) What is this?" "I 'vet never even heard of half of these movies." "(Jane) Oh." "Actually, my roommate's hosting this science fiction nerd convention this weekend with his buddies flying in from Toledo and..." "Hey!" "Three o'clock!" "Meet me in Venice with the money at three." "Do not make me send my associates over here to collect the hard way." "You mean, like kill me?" "No, Jesus." "Of course not." "So you'll probably just break my arms, then?" "Break your arms?" "Janey, what the fuck?" "I 'm a dude who sells weed," "I 'm not Tony fucking Soprano." "Well, what then?" "[Sigh] I don't know." "Take your furniture, or something." "H mm." "So, Jane, what's the deal with your roommate?" "Steve?" "What about him?" "He gives me the creeps." "[Gasps]" "I think he might be one of those skull fuckers." "Know what I 'm saying?" "I bet that dude fucks skulls, with candles and shit." "[Gasps]" "[Gasps]" "Oh my God!" "You're right!" "He's a fucking freak." "So, listen." "It would be a shame if you didn't pay me back today, and in addition to taking your furniture," "I had to tell your roommate how you spent the cash for the power bill." "[Mouths silently]" "[Techno music]" "[Cell phone rings]" "[Cries out]" "Hello?" "(Kyle) Jane?" "Hey!" "Is this...?" "Who is this?" "It's Kyle." "Oh, hey, baby, what's up?" "You asked me to call you to remind you to go to that audition?" "Are you stoned?" "Stoned?" "It's fucking 10.;45 in the morning." "Know what, Jane?" "This isn't really working out." "L-I don't understand." "You're speaking in riddles." "Kyle, you need to listen very carefully to what I 'm saying and stop trying to confuse the issue." "[Shrill siren]" "What?" "Wait, Kyle!" "I can't hear you!" "Kyle!" "Hold on!" "I just have to..." "Shut up!" "Oh, shit." "[Grunts and groans]" "[Alarm stops]" "[Breathes heavily]" "Kyle?" "You still there?" "Now what am I gonna do?" "I can't." "I daren't." "I really shouldn't." "[Cries out]" "The government weed." "I was saving the government weed for a special occasion, but the government weed will fetch a fair price on the open market." "A very fair price."

"Folders that I was supposed to bring to my dad's office but didn't because he's an ass." "What's that?" "A tennis racket." "And that is a tennis ball." "I wish I had more, but my dog eats them." "Jack head, paper clips, shoes," "Hello." "Hi." "You're a little early." "Well, are you coming in or what?" "H uh." "(Shirley) Peter's not back from the airport yet."

"Yeah, that sounds good actually." "All right." "Are you hungry?" "Well... now that you mention it," "I wouldn't mind something to munch on." "You know, like chips or whatever." "Well, let me see what I can find." "[Sigh]" "Here we go." "Thanks." "What's with the corn?" "Excuse me?" "Oh, that's a photo of Peter's." "I suppose that's his idea of avant garde or something." "How long have you been Peter's T.A.?" "Who?" "Peter." "Oh, you mean Professor Harwood." "Yes." "Well, for quite a while now." "I guess it didn't work out with that other girl." "I guess not." "Well, it's very nice to meet you, uh..." "Jane." "Jane." "I 'm Shirley, Peter's mother." "Shirley, of course." "Peter talks about you all the time." "He does?" "Oh, yeah." "Constantly." "[Gulping]" "[Sigh]" "I'll just go and get what you came for, so that you can be on your way." "That is where corn chips come from." "H mm, maybe old Professor Harwood is onto something." "He probably really loves corn, and all corn related products." "I mean, isn't that what you're supposed to put in a frame?" "Things you love?" "I'm gonna do that." "When I get home," "I'm gonna frame a bunch of stuff I love." "Like lasagna." "I love lasagna." "It's so good, and cheesy." "You know who else loves lasagna?" "Garfield." "Man, that cat really loves lasagna." "Maybe I should put a picture of Garfield in a frame." "As a kind of shorthand way of saying I love lasagna." "That would be so fucking inside." "Or how about a photo of President Garfield?" "Oh, shit." "That'd be totally meta." "People would be all like, "Jane, why do you have a photo of President Garfield on your mantle?"" "And I'd be like "Because I like lasagna, of course."" "[Siren]" "Oh, my, what happened?" "Did you fall?" "Yes, that's exactly what happened." "I was reaching for something and I kind of rolled off." "Well, are you all right?" "Oh yeah, I 'm fine." "Are you hiding from someone?" "Of course not." "Why would you ask that?" "It seems like you're hiding from somebody." "I don't know what you're talking about, Shirley." "Well, here you go." "Great." "Thanks a lot." "Now I 'm sure Peter's told you this already, but he wanted me to be sure to tell you to take this straight to his office and put it in the safe." "Oh, of course." "Well, I guess that's it then." "Okay." "See yah." "Holy fucking shit." "[Door opens]" "Oh!" "Hi." "Hi." "I 'm just waiting for my clothes to dry." "Those are my clothes." "Right."

"I always make it a point to get to know the workers personally, and these two gentlemen were kind enough to give me a little tour." "Albert, I thought we cleared up all that union nonsense last year." "We did, sir." "I was just showing her the way out." "Look, M r." "Spencer, is it?" "How much stake do you personally have in this organization?" "Well, not that it's any of your business, but I've got a very generous benefit package." "[Laughs] A generous benefit package."

"But first, I have a little message for you to tell your people." "You tell your people the slaughterers of pigs, the profiteering cowards who dishonestly hide their dirty business behind a sweet, happy logo of a cute pig, while they manufacture misery and death." "Ma'am." "Please, sir, allow me to finish." "Just look around you." "Do you see it?" "Can you hear it?" "And you, sir, stand here in this warehouse of death!" "And you have the audacity to tell me that you have a generous benefit package?" "And them?" "Do they have a generous benefit package?" "I think we all know the answer to that." "Don't we?"
