“Whoa, man! Is that one of those camera things? Let me get a picture of that shit on my phone!”

“I don’t know you but I’m about to place this beer on your girlfriend’s head. What? Why? Because I need a place to put it. What? No: obviously I don’t care. Have you seen me?”


“Oh God, he knows I’m not actually from LA.”


“Clay said WHAT about Odd Future!?!”

“Yeah, actually, I named them. This one here’s called ‘Shock Value’ and my other crutch is ‘Twitter.’”
