I like this, this is interesting, and Nancy's pretty much adorably delighted throughout this entire scene: Andy constructs a drink around the hash with the delicate touch and subtle layering of a chef: "It's got to lift you up, but not too high or too fast. Then, once afloat, it must keep you there, with a steady hand, all night. And then once the complete experience has run its course, it has to gently lay you back, to a peaceful and restful sleep." One part grain alcohol -- and I think the script thinks a "part" is a unit of measure, because there aren't any other "parts" in this recipe, so why you gonna use words you don't understand -- a dash of hash, a hint of Red Bull, a soupçon of super secret ingredient (Schiff's heart medication) and before you know it, Doug's drinking something that, if there is a Jesus and His love is truly awesome, will cause Doug to shit out his eyeballs and die right here in front of us. There's your peaceful restful sleep.
Car talk, car talk, won't-get-very-far talk. Lars is a nice guy, wants to assure them that he's giving them a good deal and what to watch out for, et cetera. Silas sort of desperately wants the guy's approval, either way, because he seems like a normal man, like the man Silas is growing into. The car is red and, like its current owner, trashy and sportscarish. Lars admits that his girlfriend wants him to get rid of his ride because it was a pussy wagon at some point, and Silas finally intuits the situation and begs off even pretending to buy it: "I don't think I can buy something you're not really ready to sell." This flips some kind of switch in Lars's head and he decides that he isn't going to sell the car after all, because he loves it and -- get a load of this concept no Botwin has ever heard of -- you don't always have to do what chicks tell you to do. "Especially fat chicks!" Shane agrees, coming out of the house (after, I hope, seeing pictures of Lars's fat girlfriend inside) secretly having stolen a comb from Lars's bathroom: "DNA, my brother. Or should I say half-brother?"
