The trio make it through fights, arrests and even their own attempts to save themselves to an action-packed conclusion. ![]() Interspersed with the attempts to escape the dealer are the two's interactions with Red (Danny McBride), another dealer. Unfortunately, neither possesses a great deal of social skill or ability, instead relying on their own assumptions and marijuana-related paranoia to get through the day.
