This weirdness aside, Josh asks Trevor to burn down his mansion in Rockford Hills so that Josh can collect the insurance. Josh invites Trevor to take his car, the use of which also provides Trevor with a requisite jerry can. At the mansion, Trevor pours a line of gas from an outdoor grill in the rear of the building.
