DANIEL I mean it's getting flatter faster than it should.
AMERICA Build that tolerance, baby. Are you ready?

AMERICA Going again.
DANIEL Are you ready already?
AMERICA Yeah, I think I am.
DANIEL Stuff wears off quick.
AMERICA It does these days. Will you mix mine for me?
DANIEL Gimme that. What happened to this thing?
AMERICA What are you talking about?
DANIEL This thing is flat.
AMERICA You're gonna handle the mixing this time.
DANIEL It's only been thirty minutes.
AMERICA It was longer than that.
DANIEL I looked at the clock.
AMERICA It'll take you five minutes to mix it. We'll be ready by then.
DANIEL Hold this. Geez.
AMERICA What?
DANIEL Just wanna lie down.
AMERICA I'll mix.
DANIEL No. Wait one second.
AMERICA I kinda can't.
DANIEL Grief.
AMERICA What?
DANIEL You're a fiend.
AMERICA I'm a fiend for shots, you're a fiend for pussy.
DANIEL We both fiend shots.

DANIEL No, the shots belong to me.
AMERICA The pussy, on the other hand..
DANIEL The pussy on the other hand?

DANIEL Get me hard.
AMERICA I'm just gonna sit on you this time.
She sits on him.
DANIEL Are you gonna mix that?
AMERICA Yeah.
DANIEL Good.

DANIEL Good girl. What time is it.
AMERICA Two minutes after the last time you asked me.
DANIEL We need to wait a little longer.
AMERICA There's no way.
DANIEL Just ten minutes.
AMERICA Ten minutes isn't gonna make any difference. We'll be fine.
DANIEL I don't know.
AMERICA Even if I said yes you wouldn't wait ten minutes.
DANIEL No?
AMERICA You'd wait five.
DANIEL How's that coming?
AMERICA Done.
