this shit is vandalism.
518
00:20:23,657 --> 00:20:25,257
So, unfortunately,
519
00:20:25,259 --> 00:20:27,393
we're gonna have to paint
over this shameful display.
520
00:20:27,528 --> 00:20:28,994
- I feel you, queen.
521
00:20:29,130 --> 00:20:30,796
I'ma go get some paint,
but, uh, you need me to get
522
00:20:30,798 --> 00:20:32,264
some turpentine for this
yellow paint on your hand?
523
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,999
- Get off my hand, boy,
and go on down there
524
00:20:34,135 --> 00:20:35,935
and get the paint.
- I don't know nothing. Ooh.
525
00:20:36,070 --> 00:20:40,006
- Damn, Jermaine got a huge
fucking cock.
