  • Oh, oh Benny, hey Benny, thanks for the couch... um Mike made me sleep under the sink.

Dialogue

edit
Sam: You don't like raisins?
Joon: Not really.
Sam: Why?
Joon: They used to be fat and juicy and now they're twisted. They had their lives stolen. Well, they taste sweet, but really they're just humiliated grapes. I can't say I am a big supporter of the raisin council.
Sam: Did you see those, those raisins on TV? The ones that sing and dance and stuff?
Joon: They scare me.
Sam: Yeah me too.
Joon: It's sick. The commercial people they make them sing and dance so people will eat them.
Sam: It's a shame about raisins.
Joon: You're out of your tree.
Sam: It's not my tree.
Joon: We have to tell him.
Benny: What? Tell me what?
Sam: Uh, Benny, Joon and uh and I are uh... you know.
Benny: Hi, I'm Benny
Sam: With an N?
Benny: Yeah. Two of them. And this is Joon.
Sam: With an N?
Joon: One.
