Mike

Dad used to bring home these sparklers for me and Adam, you know? [laughs] Sparklers! We'd go out back, the three of us - and we'd hold it up to the sky and watch the explosions of light and the sparks, you know, and Dad would be all "Wait for it! Here it comes! Watch for it! Here comes the wahoo!"

Wahoo?

Mike

Wahoo. The sparkler would burn hot, then hotter, then even hotter, and then there'd be this one moment of pure burn when that little ****er would cook perfect, just perfect. It would only last a second, but that second was it. And that's what Dad had us looking for, man.

The wahoo moment?

Mike

That's exactly right. Man - burning at his absolute. All the forces coming together - burning - just perfect, perfect harmony. That's what I'm driving at. Are you with me?

I think so.

Mike

I have been looking for that flash. I've been looking and I've been looking, and I can't find it. What if it already happened, you know? My moment! What if it already happened and I didn't see it?

Mike

Look at 'em. I'm amazed the windows don't blow out of their **** sockets with all the ass-puckering rage in these soulless lizards.

I just want her to be happy.

Mike

The same alarm clock every morning, same two pops on the same snooze button, same shower, towel, toothbrush, razor, blazer, hair pump, gel spray. It's a **** epidemic, Fisher. You're getting married, baby. I'm not going to candy-coat it - it just gets worse. It's an eighteen-wheel cement truck that's going to crush every bone in your big body.

Tina

You know it's 500, right?

Mike

Yeah. Oh, yeah, no problem. Yeah, I mean... 500 of my dollars?

Tina

Right. Right.

Mike

But I thought... Boyd didn't pay?

Tina

No, Boyd didn't pay. It's 500.

Mike

Cool.

Tina

Straight sex, nothing kinky. Just...

Mike

No, no, no. I'm not gonna try to use you as a hand puppet or anything. I just wanna...

Tina

Okay.

Mike

...make sweet love to you because you have no idea what you've gotten into.

Mike

We were playing. She bumped her head.

Adam

Bumped? BUMPED? She's got a ****in' spike in her head!
