Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Risky Opener · Bold, cheeky lines — high reward, high risk.

(Only if you sense they're in a fun mood and have seen you in a fun mood.)
"I find you both very sexually attractive and would love having intercourse with either of you."
(Turn towards one of them.) "Wanna come home?"
The opener is named after the comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008). Said seriously, it's just crude. It can only work as an obvious joke: stiff, formal and exaggerated, delivered with a grin, to two women you've already been joking with. Expect a laughing "no".
When to use it
Late in a fun evening, when the banter is already flowing and both women are clearly enjoying it. Never as the first sentence to strangers, and never with a woman on her own.
Follow-up
If they laugh: "Okay, okay, too much. Let's start with a drink then." If they don't, apologize briefly and drop it. A joke invitation is not an invitation to touch: anything beyond banter needs a clear yes.
Why it works
Absurd, robot-like honesty is funny because nobody takes it literally. It shows you don't take yourself too seriously, but only if the delivery makes the joke unmistakable.
