An alienated man named Andy assures himself he will remain aggravated by petty arguments.
Assaulting anyone who gets in his way he meets a unique person who is searching for a partner.
Persistently pert and proud of his passionate pedigree, Paul pluckily pushes Andrew's buttons.
Andrew is easily antagonized by Paul's perverse plays yet he is attracted to his pesky nature.
Paul has a pal who grievous faults for going after gratification from gratuitous gross were grandiose.
Greg's grandiloquence grabbed Paul's attention and the gander he gave Greg turned into him grooming Greg.
Paul's personality however caused some friction in the neighborhood.
A small group of punks decided to band together to take down Paul and his associates.
Elliot who was always jealous of Paul's persuasive pitches effortlessly effused his editorials to his flock.
Elaborating an egocentric plan to eliminate Paul, Elliot's eruption united three escorts.
Luke was the most like-minded to Elliot and was the leader in logistics to take down the enemy.
Longing for luxuriant love and loyalty, Luke was seen as a self proclaimed lothario.
Going to McDonald's they walked in to find George gorging on Big Mac's one after another.
Gesturing to Elliot to come over and keep him company while he was gloating over his worldly goods.
Sitting a booth away from Elliot, Luke, and George was Seth, the definition of a slacker.
Seth stood up and walked over to the three of them and quietly sat down with saplessness.
"Tonight we strike down Andy, Paul and Greg", Elliot said.
"Why", Seth said in a sad sack manner.
"Seth, the three of them act like they own the streets, but Elliot let's not be rash", Luke said.
"Hey can we order a pizza during the stakeout", George asked.
"George, focus on the task at hand then you can your fill", Luke said.
"Anyway those three must expire tonight", Elliot said.
"Yeah death will really solve everything", Seth said sarcastically.
"Seth, you have a better idea", Elliot said exasperated.
"I don't even know why I walked over here", Seth said.
Seth walked away in disbelief and sincerely believed that the other three comrades were stupid.
The three of them were going to commit senseless acts that would resolve nothing.
So Seth decided that he would lead a sedentary lifestyle.
Elliot, Luke and George approached the hangout of Paul, Andy, and Greg with vengeance on their mind.
The six of them beat each other with boards for a while then they each brought out their knives.
During the melee the importance of the fight was dying along with their vitality.
In the end all six of them perished inside the hangout resolving nothing; leaving only corpses soaked with the inescapable hatred of old wounds.
Seth stumped at what was taking so long, leisurely walked over to the other hangout.
He stumbled upon six stupid soaked individuals in a pile that caused a stuffy feeling in his head.
This stultifying sight made Seth shake his head and he slinked away in silence.
