Bug
[Buck's beat-up old car pulls up]

Ever hear of a tune-up? Hee hee hee hee hee.

Ah, heh heh heh. Ever hear of a ritual killing? Ah, heh heh heh heh heh

Bug

I don't get it.

You gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one. Ah, heh heh heh heh.

Well, well, well, they certainly are scraping the bottom of the barrel for cheerleaders these days.

Tia

What are you doing here?

We were just driving by to get some ice cream. Thought you might like to join us.

Tia

I said I would be home at 10. It's not even 9!

Who said anything about that? I thought you might like to join us for some ice cream. Maybe your Bug here can join us. We can talk about burying the hatchet. You know what a hatchet is, don't you, Bug?

Bug

It's an ax?

Sort of, yeah, yeah. I got one in my car if you'd like to see it.

Bug

I'll pass.

Fair enough. I like to carry it, you never know when you're going to need it. A situation may come up say for example, someone has been drinking, and about to drive a loved one home, then I'd like to know I have it. Not to kill, no. Just to maim. Take a little off the shoulder. Swish! The elbow. Slash! Shave a little meat off the old kneecap. Fowap! Ooooo! You got both kneecaps? I like to keep mine razor sharp. Sharp enough you can shave with it. Why I've been known to circumcise a gnat. You're not a gnat are you Bug? Wait a minute, bug, gnat. Is there a little similarity? Whoa, I think there is! Ha ha ha. You understand what I'm talking about? I don't think you do. I'll be right back. Heh heh heh heh.

Tia
[walks away]

I'm sorry.

Bug

Look, I think you'd better split. I don't exactly want him to go berserk with an ax on me.

Tia

He's all talk.

[Buck pulls out a small hatchet from his car]

Here it is! Come over, come on, I want to show it to you. Maybe later. Okay.

Bug
[Buck has shown Tia, her ex-boyfriend, Bug who is gagged and tied up in the trunk of his car. He undoes the duct tape]

You shithead! I could've suffocated in here!

You know what I'd like you to do. You could be doing both of us a favor. I'd like you to apologize to this lady, please.

Bug

I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! OK, ASSHOLE! I'M SORRY!

[Nowhere near satisfied with Bug's screaming apology]

You may not know this, but I'm an amateur dentist.

Tia

Oh yes, he is.

Bug
[She laughs raising the drill in front of Bug, who is scared straight] [Being serious]

I'm sorry.
