Kevin [Voice]:

  "Often enough that I have a name for it."

  Amber [Voice]:

  "What are we going to do?"

  "We can't just wait for him to wake up."

  "The cops and Sasha are all looking for us!"

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Well then."

  "It looks like we're going to a party."

  SAT 12:08 AM

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "I'm guessing by that thumping bass that we're getting close."

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Yeah, this is the address on Skeech's flyer."

  "Sorry I made you walk so far. I couldn't find a parking spot closer. It's pretty busy here."

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Must be a kickin' party."

  "What does it look like?"

  Amber [Voice]:

  "It looks really fun, actually."

  "There are adorable Edison bulbs strung up everywhere, and tables outside with people hanging around and drinking cocktails."

  "It's very upscale. There's even a chocolate fountain."

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Wow. Fancy."

  Nora:

  Oh, thank goodness.

  From the sound of Kevin's roommate I was afraid you'd be marching yourself into some sketchy drug den.

  I'm glad to hear it's nice.

  Amber:

  It's not

  I lied

  Celery:

  about what part

  Amber:

  All of it

  This place would need an extreme makeover to become a crack house

  The only light is coming from a car

  Nora:

  The headlights?

  Amber:

  No. It's on fire

  There are skanky people everywhere with a too many tattoos and not enough teeth

  They're all looking at me

  omg you guys this place is terrifying

  Nora:

  Why didn't you tell Kevin the truth?

  Amber:

  I don't want to freak him out!

  Nora:

  You're freaking me out!

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "That barking dog sounds really close."

  "Is it at the party?"

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Oh, yeah. I see it."

  "It's a poodle."

  "Someone has it in her purse."

  "She's trying to feed it crème brûlée."

  Celery:

  dang. speech-to-texts accent game is on point

  Amber:

  It is so not a poodle

  I don't even know if it's a dog

  It's too big

  It might be a bear that learned how to bark

  It looks like it wants to eat somebody

  Celery:

  quick, pee on the ground!

  if you mark your territory it wont bother you!

  Amber:

  Eew, no

  It's fine. The dog is chained up

  But it seems pretty pissed about it

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Have you spotted Skeech's Pokémon backpack?"

  Amber [Voice]:

  "No. I don't think it's out here."

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "It must be inside."

  "Let's go check it out."

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Inside?"

  "There?"

  "Uh, no."

  "We can't."

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Why not?"

  Nora:

  Tell him the truth.

  Amber [Voice]:

  "We're underdressed. We don't want to embarrass ourselves."

  Nora:

  Why do I even bother?

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Heh. Well, if someone calls the fashion police on us, I'll just play the blind card."

  "Come on, let's go see if there's a lost and found."

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Oh. Yeah."

  "Okay."

  "That's totally a thing they'll have here."

  Amber:

  And it'll be full of nothing but fingers and blood!

  You guys, the inside of this warehouse is like a nightmare!

  Celery:

  like where you have to pee really bad?

  but youre in a mens room, so there are only urinals

  and you decide youre going to go for it anyway

  but when you try to pull down your pants the urinal turns into a pervert clown with its mouth open

  and you think you might just pee in it anyway because you have to go so bad

  except your underwear keeps getting smaller

  and its like, cutting off circulation to your legs

  and making your butt turn inside out

  and it cuts your legs off

  and the clown eats them?

  Amber:

  No, like the kind of nightmare where a meth head murders you.

  Celery:

  oh

  i havent had that one

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Man, I smell a lot of weed smoke in here."

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Oh, yeah."

  "A few people are sparking up."

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "A few people?"

  "It's like being inside Seth Rogen's lungs."

  Amber:

  You guys, I can't see ANYTHING

  There are no lights and like eight hundred bongs

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Ow! My shin!"

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Sorry!"

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Did you just guide me into a chair?"

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Yes, sorry."

  Amber:

  It was not a chair

  It was a shopping cart.

  Full of dead rats.

  Nora:

  Better than live ones, I suppose.

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Sorry. There are no lights in here."

  "Er"

  "I mean, there are lights, obviously."

  "But they're really low."

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Like, to be romantic?"

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Uh, yeah. But it's too romantic."

  "I can't see a thing."

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Welcome to my world."

  "Here, just hold my hand and let me lead."

  "You keep an eye out for the backpack.

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Okay."

  Nora:

  Well, this seems like a foolproof plan.

  That was sarcasm, in case it didn't come through.

  Amber:

  He can do things, you know

  He's using his cane to feel his way through the building

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Watch out. There are stairs here."

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Oh. Thanks!"

  Amber:

  I didn't even see those

  I would have fallen

  Kevin is really good at this

  You shouldn't make fun of him!

  Nora:

  I wasn't making fun of him.

  Amber:

  You said it was a "foolproof plan" then made sure I knew it was sarcastic

  That means you think it's a bad plan

  Nora:

  No, letting a blind man lead in the dark is a great plan.

  Truly. Not sarcastically.

  You looking for a backpack in the dark is the part I was being sarcastic about.

  Since you can't see anything.

  And the backpack is a thing.

  Amber:

  Oh.

  Yeah.

  I guess I should turn on the flashlight on my phone.

  Nora:

  Which negates the whole "blind leading the blonde" plan, but okay.

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Oh! Hold on, Kevin."

  "I see it!"

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "The backpack?"

&nb
sp; Amber [Voice]:

  "Yeah! I see Pikachu!"

  "It's over in the corner. I'll grab it."

  UNKNOWN VOICE 05 [Voice]:

  "Aagh! My eyes!"

  "Turn out that light, you jerkass!"

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Sorry!"

  "Just picking up my backpack."

  "Got it, we'll be leaving now."

  "Sorry!"

  UNKNOWN VOICE 05 [Voice]:

  "Hey!"

  "You!"

  "I reckanize you two!"

  Amber [Voice]:

  "You do?"

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Amber, who is that?"

  Amber [Voice]:

  "I seriously have no idea."

  "Some random super drunk guy?"

  UNKNOWN VOICE 05 [Voice]:

  "Oh, I'm sure youtoo don't remember mee."

  "Why should you?"

  "After you dined and dashed on me!"

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Oh my gosh."

  "It's the waiter from the restaurant!"

  UNKNOWN VOICE 05 [Voice]:

  "Damn straight it is!"

  "You two jerkassez ate three courses then just booked it the second I turned my back!"

  "The manager shit a brick when he saw whatchoo did."

  "He took your bill outta my paycheck!"

  Celery:

  he sounds pissed

  and pissed

  Nora:

  That's the same thing.

  Celery:

  i meant like american pissed AND british pissed

  angry AND drunk

  Nora:

  Wow. That was actually pretty clever.

  "Amber, what's happening?

  "Who is that?"

  Amber [Voice]:

  "I don't know."

  "I'm not deaf!"

  Pissed Waiter [Voice]:

  "I'm shouting because I'm angry!"

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "I meant Helen Keller was blind AND deaf."

  "I'm only blind."

  "It was a weak insult."

  Pissed Waiter [Voice]:

  "Fine!"

  "Beethoven here skipped out on a check!"

  "Happy?"

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Beethoven was only deaf!"

  "You went the wrong way with it!"

  Vin Macklemore [Voice]:

  "Enough."

  "Y'all started something, now yer gonna finish it."

  "This is my warehouse."

  "My rules."

  "Y'all best step into the ring, 'cause there's only one way to settle disputes in my house."

  Vin Macklemore [Voice]:

  "That ain't no poodle, boy!"

  "That's a Neapolitan Mastiff!"

  Celery:

  Those things are huge!

  "Oh God. It's trying to break its chain!"

  "That thing is out for blood!"

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Uh, Amber, I'm beginning to think you may not have been completely honest with me earlier."

  "Kevin, I'm so sorry I lied to you!"

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Then tell me the truth now."

  Amber [Voice]:

  "My boobs are tiny!"

  "Please don't be mad!"

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Uh, okay."

  "I meant about the party."

  Amber [Voice]:

  "Oh. Right."

  "There is no crème brûlée."

  "Just junkies and psychopaths."

  Vin Macklemore [Voice]:

  "Hey! Those are my friends you're talking about."

  "Only like, half of them are psychopaths."

  "The rest are just regular sadists."

  Pissed Waiter [Voice]:

  "Are we doing a trivia contest or what?"

  "I wanna feed these chumps to your mastodon!"

  Kevin [Voice]:

  "Mastiff, idiot."

  Vin Macklemore [Voice]:

  "Ooh, this blind mouse has got a mouth on him."

  "You must want to go first."

  "All right, hotshot. Category is Americana."

  "Which US state capital's name means 'sheltered harbor'?"
