# Up in Smoke

Up in Smoke is a 1978 American comedy film directed by Lou Adler, and is Cheech & Chong's first feature-length film, released by Paramount Pictures. Cheech & Chong had been a comedy team for about ten years before they started reworking some of their material for their first film. Much of the film was shot in Los Angeles, California, including scenes set in Tijuana, Mexico. Scenes set on the Mexican border were actually filmed at the border in Yuma, Arizona.

    Man Stoner: Oh, wow. Alright.
    Pedro: [gets it out and hands it to Man] Here, light that thing up, man, let's get Chinese-eyed, man.
    Man Stoner: [eyeing the joint] What kind of joint is this, man?
    Pedro: Oh, it's a heavy duty joint, man.
    Man Stoner: Looks like a toothpick, man.
    Pedro: Naw, it's not a toothpick, man.
    Man Stoner: Hey, it IS a toothpick, man.
[hands it back to Pedro]
    Pedro: Aw, man, it's... [looking at it, puzzled] it IS a toothpick! I must got it in another pocket, man. Hold on, I got the shit right here, man. [feels around in his pocket] Oh, that's my dick.

Get you started. Start with strawberries, you might work your way up to these goddamn bananas! [Anthony drinks from glass as his father shouts] When, boy?

    Arnold Stoner: [rubs his forehead with his hand] Oh, good God Almighty me. I think he's the Antichrist. [turns to his son] Anthony, I want to talk to you. Now, listen! [Anthony walks away and gives an obscene gesture behind his back] Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you! You get a goddamn job before sundown...
    Mrs. Tempest Stoner: [pointing to Anthony as he walks away] Is that some kind of peace sign?
    Arnold Stoner: ...or we're shipping you off to military school with that... goddamn Finkelstein... shit kid! [turns away in frustration] Son of a BITCH!
