Atlanta

Are you getting paranoid?

You're paranoid, huh?

No. I just don't think you're gonna like it up there.

Where, Helen?

I've been there before.

Fourth grade. Field trip.

Tamika Rich threw up.

No, the festivities, Fastnacht.

It's really traditional.

Oh. Well,

if we don't like it, we can just go back to the lodge,

and do lodge stuff.

"Lodge stuff"?

Yeah, lodge stuff.

I know it sounds gross,

but it's pretty much what we were doing this morning.

And you'll be high, so you'll have more tongue confidence.

You notice that?

Now I'm paranoid.

This is gonna sound like a high question, but it's not.

Got it.

Are black women considered brunettes?

Is it weird that made me hungry?

You, too?

Oh, shit.

This is nice.

We're gonna be the only black people here, aren't we?

Christina's half.

The important thing is the Faschingstanz,

and make sure you mix in some actual dance moves

with the traditional ones. They'll love that.

- All right. - We're gonna win for sure.

Christina's gonna be so mad,

'cause Dave can't dance for shit.

I'm not that great, either.

I don't know. You got some swag.

It's weird swag, but people like it.

Oh, by the way, traditionally, there's a moor character

that people show up in blackface, so...

- Great. - Mm-hmm.

When you were a kid, didn't you feel, like,

weird about all that?

Hmm, I used to.

But I'm kind of like the Serena Williams of the festivities.

They hate, but they can't deny the stats.

You're so competitive.

I know. And you love it.

Hey, baby.

Hey!

- Oh, my God. Hi. - It is so good to see you.

- What's up, Van? How are you? - Hey, Dave.

I'm good. Ha, look.

- Hey, yo! - Amazing.

- That looks good. - Love it.

- Look at you. - Look, I told you she'd dress up.

Earn.

Earn!

You want to take our picture?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, um... - Huh.

There we go.

- I took three. - Thank you.

Where is your costume?

Oh, yeah. That's not me.

I'm not really into...

Y-Yeah, but you got to dress up, man.

I mean, like, why are you here?

- Look at me. I'm wearing lederhosen, dawg. - Yeah.

I-I get it. I don't know.

Van likes it.

- Where-where'd she go, though? - Yo.

- I got a spare mask in the whip. - I'm...

- I'm all right, man. - You sure?

- I'm sure, man. - You'd look good in it.

I feel good like this.

What the hell is that?

It's a Schnappviecher. It's a demon thief.

Every Fastnacht, he steals something

from one unlucky villager.

No way!

You look so good!

Oh.

You look great... and I'm sorry.

Where's that mask you were talking about?

Yeah, it's in the whip.

Cool.

Welcome to another Fastnacht.

Here, take these, please.

- Game on. - Thank you.

We've got some excellent prizes tonight,

provided by Dixie Gas.

Big shout-out to Dixie Gas for these two movie gift cards.

And I don't know about the rest of you,

but I'm ready to Hootz-Kutz.

Just bounce the ball to me when it comes,

but don't say "Hootz-Kutz" unless you have to. Okay.

- He's never played. - Okay, okay.

Are we ready to Hootz-Kutz?

Yeah!

On-on my count. Ready,

set, go.

- Oh! - Come on, Earn.

You're supposed to catch it, okay?

- I'm sorry. All right, sorry. - It's okay.

Go.

There it is!

We're supposed to pass them.

- Don't just... - Oh, my God!

Switch!

Hold, hold.

Thank you.

Earn, you're just standing there, dude.

Earn.

- Earn, don't just stand there. - Earn.

What'd you... whoa, whoa. Whoa.

Whoa. That was crazy.

How'd you do that?

I just put the...

I just held the balls and put them in the jug.

Shh, no, no. No, hold on.

I've been playing Hootz-Kutz

since I was a little kid, and I've...

I've never seen anyone do that.

Shit, dude.

No, seriously, man. How-how did you do that?

I just held the balls and-and put them in the jug.

Oh, my goodness.

Earnest "Halten" Marks!

Give it up for Earn!

Earn! Earn!

Earn! Earn! Earn! Earn! Earn!

What's "halten"?

It just means "to hold."

You really should learn German.

Yeah, I know. It's so useful.

You got lucky as fuck back there.

You should listen to me next time.

You're starting to sound more like Serena Williams's dad.

Hello.

What can I get you?

- Wow. - Uh...

No.

Okay.

Did you understand that?

No.

Okay.

The mask, maybe...?

Mm... yeah.

Ding, ding. How about some service?

Wow.

Here you go.

There's always gonna be more girls, man.

I get that, but...

But how are you supposed to know what you want

the rest of your life right now?

Sometimes I feel like she wants me to be lame.

I mean, like, this isn't me. I mean, like...

You know, I don't know, maybe she wants

a guy who could speak German. You know what I'm say...

A guy who enjoys dancing to polka music.

I'm not that dude.

I-I don't know why she wants me to pretend like I'm that dude.

Well, she just, you know, wants to spend more time with you,

and that's what girls do when they like you.

They just want to twist their life up with yours.

That way, it's harder to disconnect.

- Hey. - Hey.

Um, so, the guys are dancing in three minutes.

You want to go over some moves?

Yeah, actually, let's go over here for a sec.

Okay.

Ping-Pong.

No. This is obviously a traditional Pingen-Pong...

- tablisch... - Tischtennisplatte.

- Yeah, that's what I said. - Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I was just thinking

we could spend some one-on-one time together.

Can we spend some one-on-one time dancing?

It's just one game.

Come on. It's the only white game I know.

Okay. But one game.

If I win,

no more complaining.

We dance

and my name is on the front of the trophy.

- Fair. - Okay.

- And if I win... - Mm...

- Come on. - Oh.

- Mm, mm. Mm-hmm. - Okay, well,

don't be upset when you're in a weird sexual position.

You need a warm-up? Come on.

Let's go. Best out of three.

Ready?

- Okay. - Ready?

Baby, I thought you used to play.

Yeah, okay.

Come on.

Come on, Serena. Let's do it. You got it.

Fuck.

That's two out of three, baby.

Mm-hmm. Come on.
