Warner Bros. Pictures has set loose this latest clip from Todd Phillips’ ‘The Hangover Part III,’ showcasing Phil and Stu (Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms) explaining to their girlfriends why they want to avoid Alan (Zach Galifianakis).

The last they heard from disaster-magnet Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong), he’d been tossed into a Thai prison and, with him out of the way, the guys have very nearly recovered from their nights prowling the seamy side of Las Vegas in a roofie’d haze, and being kidnapped, shot at, and chased by drug-dealing mobsters in Bangkok.
