Now, hold on, man. I know female stats. I mean, anything bigger than a handful, you're risking a sprained thumb.

Gary

That's not a bad idea. Making a girl. Actually making a girl. Just like Frankenstein...except cuter.

Gary

Let me set it straight: No one is as uptight as you, okay? No one. Even your middle name is tense; Wyatt "Tense-Up" Donnelly.

Gary

She wouldn't have to worry about no titties for the rest of her life. She was set and she was lookin' good, son!

Gary

Forget it, I'll drive. Gimme the keys! GIMME THE KEYS!

Gary

Why are you ruining the fantasy? We know the reality. Don't mess with the fantasy, okay?

Gary

Okay, but we can deal with shame. Death is a much greater issue.

Gary

We have to fill this thing up with data. I want her to live, I want her to breathe. I want her to aerobicize.

Gary

That's Wyatt's brother, Chet. He's kind of an asshole.

Gary

He's an asshole. Look at that haircut; anyone with a haircut like that, you know he's an asshole.

Gary

Well, my nuts are halfway up my ass, but other than that I'm perfect!

[Gary and Wyatt have hidden from freaks who've destroyed Wyatt's home.]

Gary, do you feel like a chicken?

Gary

Well, if I could shoot an egg outta my ass right now, I would.

But...won't these people think that we're cowards?

Gary

Yeah...okay, but we can deal with shame. Death is a much greater issue.

Gary

Should we give her a brain?

Yeah, we could play chess with her.

Gary

Chess? Look, just give her a brain, okay?

[Gary is mumbling some incomprehensible gibberish over the doll that will become Lisa.]

Gary...? By the way, why are we wearing bras on our heads?

Gary

It's ceremonial.

What are we gonna do with her?

Gary

Look, we'll just go with the situation. Okay? And I'm sure by Sunday, you'll think of something. You're a very bright guy. I have a lot of faith in you. Okay? All right?

I'm just being practical.

Gary

I know you are. Okay? And I appreciate it.

But what are we gonna do about this mess?

Gary

Wyatt, you'll have plenty of time to clean up tomorrow. Okay?

Okay, but don't get any B.O. on Chet's suit, or he'd kill me.

[they walk out of the room and their nerdy suits suddenly transform into posh suits]

Where are we going, anyway?

Gary

I don't know. She said we're gonna go downtown and... [looks at the suits] Oh, my God! Whose stuff is this? Is that your stuff? Is this yours?

Oh, shit. Gary, I don't know what's goin'--

Gary

Wyatt, what's goin' on here?

I don't know.

Gary

What is goin' on here?

Gary, I don't know!

Gary

I don't know what's goin' on here!

You look good though! All right?!

Gary

Yeah?!

Yeah.

Dino

Tell me something. What's a beautiful broad like you doing with a malaka like this? Huh?

It's purely sexual.

Dino

No shit.

Gary

She's into malakas, Dino!

Dino
[after a brief pause, Dino and his friends laugh]

"She's into malakas"! Do you believe that?!

Have you ever wondered how sad it is, that your son's only sexual outlet is tossing off to magazines in the bathroom?

Lucy Wallace

Oh Gary! Oh my God!

Gary

Ma, I never tossed off to anything!

Lucy Wallace

You told me you were combing your hair!

Gary

I was! I was!

[before the party, Gary, Wyatt, and Lisa wait at the table for the guests]

Lisa, you have to promise me that things aren't gonna get outta control.

Wyatt, don't worry. You're just having a few friends over.

I don't have any friends, Lisa.

Gary

He doesn't. Boy ain't lyin'.

[the doorbell rings]

You do now.

[the three walk up to the door, and Lisa opens it, revealing, to Gary and Wyatt's shock, an entire street full of party guests]

Hi!

Guests

HI!!!

One guest

PARTY!

All guests
[chant]

Party! Party! Party! Party!
[Gary sheepishly waves hello as Wyatt faints]

Do you think Lisa's having a good time?

Gary

Lisa could have a good time at an insurance seminar, Wyatt.

Gary
[Gary and Wyatt have a quick chat in the shower]

I could be wrong, but I think these guys are stoked for us, Wyatt.

I got that feelin' myself.

Gary

What do we do?

I don't know.

Gary

Should we go for it?

What about Lisa?

Gary

She did say we should party.

Look, let's get on with these two, score points, and go back to Lisa. This is like a dream come true.

Gary

How about if we see if we can score the points with these two and deal with them in case we get to them later?

Sounds good.

Gary

Okay, but whatever happens, we've gotta give Lisa a shot. I don't wanna hurt her feelings. Maybe the girls are lookin' for a long lean bone job from me. Ready to party now?

10-4.

Gary

Let's break.
