A Annabelle
I know what cocaine is.
Thor
Annabelle, get out of here. Bean Bag Boys only.
A Annabelle
I heard at the skate park the older kids will make you take drugs.
Max
We'll never do drugs. They destroy lives and communities.
A Annabelle
You have no choice.
Thor
[calling out]
Mom!
Thor's Mom: Annabelle, don't antagonize your brother. Come on, go upstairs. Now... [Annabelle gives her brother the middle finger before going upstairs] Hey. All right, Bean Bag Boys, finish up. It's a school night. Lights out, 8:30.
Thor
What? You said 8:45.
Thor's Mom: Hey. Finish up.
Lucas
I don't think I want to go to the skate park.
Max
We're in sixth grade now. We need to start doing sixth grade things.
Thor
Ooh, you want to see Brixlee, don't you?
Lucas
[whispering when Police Officer Sacks enters the convenient store]
Shit. We have D-R-U-G-S on us.
Max
He knows how to spell. Just act normal. Pretend to talk.
Lucas
About what?
Max
Just be normal.
Lucas
[loudly; trying to act normal]
What do you think about politics?
Max
It's a complicated issue.
Lucas
[whispering as Officer Sacks looks at them]
This cop's acting weird.
Max
He's eye-**** us. Just act normal. Just laugh. We're just two cool guys laughing.
Lucas
[They both laugh awkwardly and the cop walks over to them]
We skipped school.
Max
[annoyed]
Lucas!
Max
[takes his phone out of his pocket as it rings]
Guys, it's my dad. [answers the phone] Hey, Dad.
N Mr. Newman
Hey, buddy. I got on the early flight, so I'll be home in 15 minutes.
Max
15 minutes from now or 15 minutes from later?
N Mr. Newman
Ha ha, funny guy. I'll see you soon.
Max
[worried after he hangs up]
My dad will be home in 15 minutes.
Thor
Maybe he won't notice the drone's gone.
Max
He'll notice. He's very observant. That's why my mom fell in love with him.
Lucas
The drone has to be home before your dad.
Max
I know.
Lucas
Just the drone. Not you. Just the drone.
Max
[upset after his father angrily hangs up for destroying the house with the drone]
My dad says I'm grounded. Now I'm never gonna be able to kiss Brixlee.
Lucas
It's okay, Max. There'll be other parties.
Max
Lucas, you don't get it.
Thor
He's right, Lucas. This party could change our lives, and you don't even care. It's not cool at all.
Max
Yeah, you know what's not cool?
Thor
What the **** does that mean?
Max
Go sip a beer, Sippy Cup.
Thor
I love beer, so yes, I will. And you may think you're so mature, but the truth is you don't have pubes, and I have six.
Max
You say you have pubes, but you also say you drink beer, and I know you don't.
Lucas
Stop arguing!
Max
Just admit you skipped the audition because you thought it wasn't cool even though your voice is a **** gift. And you always talk a big game, and you never back it up. Like on the freeway.
Thor
Oh, sorry. I didn't want to cross 12 lanes of traffic so you can kiss some skank.
Lucas
Oh, shit.
Max
She's not a skank, she's the love of my life! You take that back!
Lucas
[The two start to fight]
Hey, no karate! Stop fighting! [stops the fighting and starts breaking down on the verge of tears; to Thor] You should never call a woman a skank! You should never call a woman anything! [turns to Max] And you… You made us ditch school, run around with drugs, and lock a cop in a convenience store with what I now suspect is a dildo! [notices an old white-bearded man laughing at them nearby] WHAT THE **** ARE YOU LOOKING AT, GANDALF?! [the old man leaves]
Max
[voice breaking; tearfully]
You guys don't understand shit. I have hormones flowing through my body making me do crazy things! Do you even know what it feels like to want to rub up against a tree all the time?
Thor
You think you're better than us.
Max
Not better, just more mature. I'm into romance and grown-up shit, and you guys are still into little kid stuff. I don't even know why we're still friends.
N Mr. Newman
[The three boys go their separate ways, being broken up, and heading to their homes; At the Newman residence… Max sits on the sofa as his parents scold and punish him while taking the full blame, preventing his friends from getting into trouble]
Everything you like is now canceled. Birthdays are canceled. Holidays are canceled. Summer's canceled.
N Mrs. Newman
Winter is coming.
Max
I'm sorry, Daddy.
N Mr. Newman
No, no, no. You are no longer allowed to call me Daddy. Call me Andrew or Mr. Newman or Warden. Underneath that cherubic face, the devil lives inside you. I will always love you because you are my son, but I no longer like you.
[Thor's house… Thor is playing his keyboard when his mother enters his room after getting a call from Mrs. Newman] Thor's Mom: Thorny. I just got off the phone with Max's mom. Did you know he skipped school and biked to the mall by himself?
Thor
He said that?
Thor's Mom: He did. Promise me you'll never do something as stupid as that, okay?
Thor
I promise. [as his mother leaves his room, he looks away, realizing that Max prevented him and Lucas from getting into trouble]
Lucas
[Lucas' house… In the living room, Lucas tells his parents about everything that happened]
And then we ran across the highway, my arm got ripped out, and a fake woman shot out of a car. But we still got the drugs. Then we traded the drone for it, and Max destroyed his house with it. But it was only because he wanted to marry Brixlee, and now he can't because he's grounded for life. And we got into a huge fight, and the Bean Bag Boys are broken up, and… Am I in trouble?
Max
God, I'm so ****. My dad's gonna kill me.
Lucas
You had to snoop on them. You're such a feminist.
Max
I'm not a feminist. I love women. And my parents are definitely gonna call your guys' parents. We're all gonna get grounded. Forget Soren's party. We're ****. [notices Thor smiling] Why are you smiling? This is actually your fault.
Thor
[takes out Hannah's bag, revealing he swiped it]
This is leverage. [back at Max's house, he dumps out the stuff onto the coffee table; chuckles as he holds up a tampon] Oh. Bingo!
Lucas
What is it?
Thor
I have no idea.
Max
That's a tampon.
Lucas
What's it for?
Max
Girls shove it up their buttholes to stop babies from coming out. An eighth grader told me that.
Lucas
The human body is truly a mystery. [looks at a bottle of chewable vitamins] Can't believe they still eat these chewables. The gummies are so much better.
Thor
I like the chewables. I want one.
Max
I have something in here that might change your mind. [digs through his backpack]
Max
[pulls out a paintball gun and aims it at Benji]
Bitch! Now who's the baby?!
Lucas
Holy shit.
Thor
What the ****?
Max
If I don't get those drugs, I'm gonna be grounded, and then I'll never get to kiss Brixlee!
Thor
Max, what the **** are you doing?
Max
You sell drugs. We came here to buy them. So now you're gonna sell us the drugs. DO NOT TEST ME!
B Benji
Okay. You want the drugs? I'm not your parent. Here. [gives Max the drugs]
Max
[gladly]
Thanks. [a sound of an air horn blows and he accidentally fires a paintball at Benji, hitting him in the forehead, and knocking him out] Oh, shit.
Thor
[whispers as Hannah's phone rings]
It's the girls.
Max
[answers the phone]
Hello?
H Hannah
[calling with Lily's phone]
You took my bag. It has my license, my phone. Bring it back right now.
Max
**** that noise. I want my drone back.
L Lily
I got this. I got this. I got this. [speaking in a growling tone] What did you just say, you little bitch? I'll take a shit down your throat.
H Hannah
[turns off the speaker]
Why are you talking like that?
L Lily
Hannah, I have a little brother. You're supposed to scare them.
H Hannah
Well, you scared me. [turns the speaker back on] Listen, we-we were just trying to teach you a lesson. I promise you, we're gonna give the drone back.
Lucas
No way. They could trick us again. Or overpower us.
Thor
I thought you were still grounded.
Max
It ended yesterday. A month in the whole.
Thor
Thanks again for taking the fall.
Max
You would've done the same.
Lucas
Well, well, well. Look who's here. Me.
Max & Thor
Hey!
Max
Feels like we haven't talked in weeks.
Max
[Lucas shows up at Max's house, wearing a troll mask, frightening Max] [opens the window]
You scared the shit out of me.
Lucas
I didn't want your parents to see my face. [takes off the mask]
Max
Why are you even here?
Lucas
I've grown a lot in the last two hours. My parents' divorce has really changed me. If the Bean Bag Boys don't grow together, they'll grow apart.
Max
I don't want that. I don't want to get a divorce from you.
Lucas
Then you need to go to Soren's party. You need to sneak out.
Max
I can't. I'm grounded. Besides, Brixlee's necklace is still in the kiln.
Lucas
Let me worry about the necklace. And what are your parents gonna do? Double-ground you? Is Brixlee your forever or not? Then you need to come with me now.
Max
Fine, I'll go, but I'm not apologizing to Thor.
Lucas
He's not coming.
Max
Good. **** that bitch. I'll go get my jacket.
Lucas
Hey, Max.
Max
Yeah?
Lucas
Bring that dick.
Max
[Little later, Max and Lucas arrive at Soren's house and Max is disappointed to see that Thor is already there] [sighs]
You said Thor wasn't coming.
Thor
What the hell is he doing here?
Lucas
I parent-trapped your asses. See, now we're all in a bigger hermit crab shell together. It made sense when my parents said it.
Thor
[to Max]
So, you took the blame for us, huh?
Max
Yeah, I thought about what you would do, and did the opposite.
Thor
This party, it's gonna be an epic rager.
Max
Okay, Sippy Cup.
Thor
Just stay out of my way, Maxi Pad.
Lucas
[The Bean Bag Boys are in a stall together in the boys' bathroom]
SCAB just tagged us on Instagram.
Thor
First Sippy Cup, and now this? I'm two weeks in the sixth grade, I'm already a social piranha.
Max
Guys, my dad gets back at 5:00. If we don't get a new drone by then, I'm grounded, which means we're all grounded, which means no party, which means no Brixlee.
Thor
Sippy Cup for life.
Lucas
No Brixlee, no friends, no hope, parents fighting, trapped in our rooms, all alone, two Taco Tuesdays.
Thor
So, Max, what are we gonna do?
Max
(I know what we're gonna do.)
We're gonna ditch school and get a new drone.
Lucas
Stop thinking with your big old dick, Max. That could go on our permanent record.
Thor
Max's big old dick is pointing us in the right direction.
Max
Thank you. If anyone else kisses Brixlee, I'll die.
Thor
Wait, what? Here's the plan. I'm gonna bring a beer to Soren's, and I'm gonna sip that beer so everyone will know…
Lucas
That you're an alcoholic.
Thor
That would be great.
Max
Guys. The only place around here that has one is at North Point Galleria. That's four miles away.
Thor
Four miles? How the **** are we getting four miles?
Max
You have Uber.
Thor
No, it goes directly to my mom's phone. She'll know.
Max
Then we bike.
Lucas
Where are you even gonna get the money for a new drone? [confused] What?
Max
You know.
Lucas
Our Turzan of Uzkara card? No way! [leaves the bathroom stall]
Max
You said everyone wants to buy it.
Lucas
We got it together.
Thor
And we're gonna sell it together as friends.
Max
Come on, Lucas. Bean Bag Boys do everything together.
Lucas
[makes up his mind]
Okay. Guess that makes sense.
H Hannah
[The Bean Bag Boys head over to Hannah's house to get back the drone] [answers the door]
Hey. Can I help you?
Max
Uh, I hope so, madam. We were using our drone to follow a family of turtles, and we thought it might have crashed into your backyard.
H Hannah
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's here. Come on in. [the boys enter the house and she closes the door and locks it] So, you guys like turtles?
Max
Yeah.
L Lily
[The boys enter the kitchen and find the drone sitting on the counter]
Time's up, mother****ers.
Thor
Shit! It's a trap!
H Hannah
You think I give a **** about turtles?
Lucas
We're sorry. We just wanted to learn how to kiss.
Max
Lucas, it's none of their business.
Lucas
We should have just told the truth. We're going to a kissing party, and none of us have ever kissed, and we're scared.
