Pierce, as someone who's been calling me a lesbian for the last year and a half, I'm sure that you don't have anything to say about me being friends with one. Nothing off the cuff. What I do have is a prepared statement.
And in summation, good luck... And bon appetit.
Many, many paragraphs of that were oddly supportive. Wait till you hear the one I have for you.
Okay. I know that wasn't gum. You're right. It was an awesome exit pill. Zip! Zop! Zooey! Bye!
That moonwalk back there was streets ahead, buddy. Hey, thanks, buddy. Hey, Pierce! Hey, it's you! Yeah. The tiny man you see when you take enough pills.
Pierce? You go straight to hell! Wh... Ha... Oh, I'm sorry, Annie. I...I've been... I don't know. I've been going through all these mood swings lately.
You're cute? No, wait. Kiss me. There has got to be a way to make money off of this!
I've been cheating. No. It says email me.
I saw awful, horrible things, demons, aliens, critters 3, something called Bruce Willis surrogates.
Final words? You're gonna kill us? No, dummy. The pills wiped me out. I'm dying. Oh. I'm not really dying.
Over the last few weeks, it's become apparent how little respect this group has for me. So I've summoned them here to exact my revenge.
See? Fish in a barrel.
We both know that you and I are the most hated in the group. We do? And since, in my absence, you'll be the new black sheep... I'm sorry. That's offensive. Black swan.
It's all here, burnt into this diskette by optical lasers.
I know it sounds like science fiction. No, I don't believe there's anything on that.
Of course, if you are so inclined, you could always write your own name in there.
For starters, I thought you'd be the one in bed and I'd be a hologram. What? Ah, never mind. There's no time for that now.
I was never one to hold a grudge, Jeffrey. My father held grudges. I'll always hate him for that.
Did you get along with your father? I got along without him.
Should be here in an hour or so, give or take a father.
It's been in my family for six generations. Now it's yours.
So how much do we all hate Shirley?
You look too much like your mother. No, no. Don't come any closer. As you were. Well, have to catch a flight to Katmandu, but I just wanted to say cherish the new friends that you've made. They're your true family now!
I set out to take revenge on Jeff Winger, to scare him with the ghost of his father. Instead, I took over the role of his father, and helped make him a better man.
You forget my birthday! You don't invite me to your Dungeons and Dragons games or your secret trampoline! You guys think I'm some kind of a joke! This isn't disproving the theory!
I figured out your test. Crowns, presents, punishments, favorites. You're trying to show me the dangers of my own elitism. My constant striving to be the best. So I'm requeathing this tiara. Because if I become the kind of person who thinks it's their place to pick favorites and torture the rest, I'll die sad and alone. And that's what you were trying to teach me. Very good, Annie. You pass. She's actually just my favorite.
She's actually just my favorite.
Jeff and I became... Kind of like father and son today. No, we did not.
So I go into the bathroom with Tom... And we both, you know... take 'em out. And I say, "Size more? Try size less."
Everyone wants you to shut up. And yet I won't. Case in point.
I'm gonna eat your brains, Vicki. I'm gonna slurp 'em right out of that melon you call a head.
I was only here to get back at her for not lending me a pencil.
My platform will be one high enough to push Vicki off to her death.
Can I get an apple juice, please? Freshly squeezed this time or so help me God, Maurice.
When we seek to destroy others, we often hurt our self. Because it is the self that wants to be destroyed.
Pierce, you're not usually so poignant. Well, Vicki finally lent me her pencil.
Well, Vicki finally lent me her pencil.
History's greatest chump. We're talking about Joe Kennedy, right?
We're talking about Joe Kennedy, right?
Yeah, I really got... Jewish-personed out of that one.
Pierce, nobody can hear you. / Well, I'm hot, and my balls are touching the zipper!
Jeff's not better than me. / Hmm? / I said, 'hmm.'
Pretty gay, man. Pretty gay.
I'll give you the same advice my father gave me the night I lost my virginity. 'Just pick one. They all cost the same.'
Pierce's has a special gym with swings and saddles. Uh, we don't... we don't discuss the special gym.
Who is the dumpling with the nice Asian pair?
Why would a woman want a Plymouth on cinder blocks when she could have a Testarossa, 500 horsepower with a six-speed stick? 'Cause my stick is ribbed for her pleasure. I think those are wrinkles.
But it's not gonna be today.
I mentioned that her breasts were larger than most Asian women, and, uh, we just got to talking.
It's the only place to get fireworks that are too dangerous for Mexico.
Or at least until she gets heavy.
She is funny. Like Oprah. Oprah's not a comedienne. No, you are funny, and you are like Oprah.
I don't want to get corn-holed on the bar tab. Pierce, you can't just throw around a term like that. Corn-hole. Corn-hole, corn-hole!
Pierce! Troy was molested! Cool.
And I was just using her to get her company in the sack.
I think what you were trying to do is prove that no woman could want me.
Chipmunk.
Pierce, you've had three flu shots. That's for the day care center. I'll be a living God!
You can yell at me all you want. I've seen enough movies to know that popping the back of a raft makes it go faster.
That show's gonna last three weeks! Six seasons and a movie!
Pierce, you can't sneak up on me like that. When I'm startled, my training takes over. Hello! Ki-yah!
I was talking about the paint. You were being racist.
Hey, when I'm being racist, you'll know. I know when you racist, 'cause you're racist every doggone day.
Jeffrey, if I didn't know better, I'd say you had a crush on him.
Give you $1,000. / Indecent Proposal. Indecent Proposal.
According to my watch, it's 1,000 o'clock.
All right. Betty Grable.
Make your money, whore.
Who's Betty Grable? / Yeah, that's the stuff.
It's like a million bucks in dog dollars.
It's like buying candy from a baby. / What did you do? You ruined it!
You two are dumber than Jackie Coogan. / He divorced Betty Grable.
I found that people were willing to roll bullets under the door, just for the right to take a dump.
By the way, for you guys, taking a dump's on the house.
Because you're gay.
She's a dance major, Jeff. And she loves twinkies.
For you guys, it means pool parties, dinners, one-night stands. For me... It means counting down the days 'til next fall.
So once again, I'm the bad guy. Yes. Well, he got to win last year.
That's this group's favorite thing. We're always nice to you, Pierce. Wrong. Wrong! Three days ago, I walked in on you guys playing cards without me.
Sucker! Told you, dude. I'm the best! You're the worst.
- Are we the little rascals? - I was.
Once I'm gone, I'm gone. Then I guess I'll see you in hell.
Once I'm gone, I'm gone. Then I guess I'll see you in hell. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
You'd certainly be doing Jeff Winger a big favor.
Now we have the tactical advantage of knowing that Jeff Winger wants to be a ballerina, and that his Achilles heel is...wieners.
Your mother's lover. What? What? I win!
And you can make the check out... to Greendale.
Just came back for my day planner. Pretend I'm not even here. You guys are great at that.
it appears I'm running late to drink a bottle of wine in my bathing suit.
Probably for the same reason I've been married seven times. I guess I assume eventually I'll be rejected, so I, you know, test people, push them, until they prove me right.
I'm back. How was your summer?
Pierce: 'I'm back.'
Pierce: 'I underwent three months of intensive soul-rezoning at the laser lotus celebrity center.'
You be careful, Annie. They are ruthless. What? What? Not Asians. Women.
Somalia has 1,900 miles of coastline, a government that knows its place, and all the guns and wives you can afford to buy.
Why have I never heard of this paradise before?
Uruguay sounds like 'you're a gay.' Uruguay kindly requests that Somalia stop pronouncing it 'you're a gay.'
As someone who just finished spending the majority of his life in prison, what happened with legos? They used to be simple.
Something happened out here while I was inside. Harry Potter legos, Star Wars legos. Complicated kits, tiny little blocks.
Who are these people?
I had sex with Eartha Kitt in an airplane bathroom, and these are the only guys I've ever told.
Hey, Todd! Todd, buddy! You passed the test.
While he was spying, I found a turtle. It's not fair that I should be the only one here saddled with a total waste of space loser. No offense, Todd. None taken.
The hair color concept intrigues me because it's how I distinguish you anyway.
I'm more popular than someone!
I just had a terrible nightmare that Jeff was a pompous ass. Also Todd was there. Uh, no offense, Todd.
Didn't you used to live in a mansion with me? Yeah, but this is more my speed and century.
I've hardly missed you at all since I had you removed from my portraits.
Serbian rum. So strong it is banned there. Banned in Serbia, Jeff. Let that concept sink in.
Call it Yahtzee all you want. Everybody knows it's Puerto Rican chess.
All this talk of going down... Did you guys know I had sex with Eartha Kitt in an airplane bathroom?
It's not namedropping if it comes up organically.
That's not a gun, that's a girl's peashooter.
Heh, you know who got it in the long run. Eartha Kitt, when I nailed her in the airplane bathroom.
What? Came up organically.
It's a traditional Norwegian troll. It used to watch me sleep!
Nobody makes googly eyes at me either. We're the same.
Speaking of crap, I was taking one in an airplane bathroom when Eartha Kitt decided to bang me.
Man, pizza guys are getting worse and worse-looking. Guess all the good ones went into porn.
Feel the terror! Stop the tantrum! Feel the terror of the Norwegian troll!

That guy sucks harder than the toilet in an airplane bathroom. Airplane bathroom...
We're having a party, before we're going to the real party? Sometimes, I think you young people are just making this crap up.
Keep me out of your stupid stories. I didn't say it was you. I said he was a crazy, old, racist doctor. Yeah, and I'm your crazy, old, racist friend.
You...Are...Still...Relevant!
Still am, Pakistan. Wanna try me?
That was the gayest crap I've ever heard in my life.
That was the gayest crap I've ever heard in my life. Yeah, Jeff. What the hell? Why are you always so determined to have us relax and put down our weapons?
Guys, it's been three days! When are you gonna let me go? At least say something! Guys? Guys!
At your cervix.
Oh, sorry, I thought you were a lady. You can use that cervix line if you want.
In the wipes business we call them towel-heads.
I assumed they were just brothers or wealthy.
What do Hawthorne wipes have to do with the choice to be gay?
I'm going to sue the pants off that lady. - I don't think that's a lady. - And why do you want his pants off?
The only thing I'm attracted to is taking him to court and eating his ass alive. - Ooh! - That's not what I meant.
Stop putting gay things in my mouth.
They may cost more, but they're gayer.
Rainbow, bitches. We can have peanut butter or chocolate chip.
We hate lesbians, we hate baggy pants, and I can't believe you guys are all bears fans.
Well, if you like gay people so much, why don't you marry them?!
Look at me now, dad! Yeah, look at me now, dad!
I don't know why the word gay means dumb.

Fake heart attack. I taught him everything he knows.
