Well...

So let me guess.

You're the ringer.

Now what makes it a perfect evening?

Some grade A 100 %...

Right? Am I right?

And that's where you come in.

You get their money back. So the

It's a good grift. It's a great

grift and I like it.

I like it. Yeah.

Ha.

Whew. ooh...

So, what's your cut?

C'mon.

Hey baby, the gig is up.

okay, the gig is up. Sit down.

Go on. Sit down, let's talk.

Hey c'mon. Don't worry.

No, listen to me.

I know what those pricks will do

gonna give you some money.

I'm gonna give you

a lot of money. okay?

But you gotta do me a favor.

See, um...

I know about this little job

that's going down.

And I want in. So...

You're gonna talk to your boss and

you're gonna get me a meeting.

Look, I don't know anything

about a job.

Good. It shouldn't concern you.

It doesn't concern me. It sure

as sh*t shouldn't concern you.

You just talk to your boss, okay...

... and you be persuasive.

You be really persuasive,

a talent that I know...

that you have in spades.

And you tell him I want in.

You don't know who you're dealing with.

Really? Ha!

Well, neither do they.

See, you just worry about your

end. I'll take care of mine.

okay?

Here.

Get me in.

Tell 'em where to find me.

I won't have to.

It's cold, cold.

Take it back.

Jesus Christ, you look like an

18-year-old who just lost his cherry.

I was 15 and you should know.

It was your sister.

- Very funny. That's very funny.

- Ha! Ha! Thanks.

I'll be performing here all week.

Alright. Ha! Ha!

So... What will you have?

What'll I have? Well, I'll...

milkshake you got.

- What flavor?

- You pick.

Alright. Anything else?

I'll stick with the coffee, thank you.

Sure you don't want a doughnut too?

You just got made?

What, do I have it tattooed on me or

something?

- It's this trench coat thing..

- You look like f***in' Columbo.

- Alright, enough about me.

- What have you got?

- Lieutenant's driving me crazy.

- Tell that prick to relax, man.

Everything's going just right.

- You on the crew?

- Not in so many words,

- ...but I got their attention.

- Names? Dates? Whaddya got?

C'mon Curtis. You know

these things take time man.

It's not like they got a f***in'

Help Wanted sign posted...

and I just go and fill out

a f***in' application, alright?

I'll guarantee you this though:

I made an impression.

Ha! ha! I don't doubt it a bit.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

What's this?

That?

That looks like money.

I'll be a son of a...

That's money.

Go on. Take it.

Buy yourself something frilly.

What? C'mon man!

I won it gambling off these real

low-lifes. It's clean.

It's clean money.

Jesus-Christ, if you don't want

it, give it to Beth.

- Beth's fine, thank you.

- okay.

You've never been on a honeymoon

and your oldest kid's turning 6.

- F*** you, man!

- I didn't mean it like that.

This isn't some kinda game

we're playing. No.

You walk in here acting like you're on

top of the world throwing money around?

You make me chase you down

the street like an idiot. For what?

For credibility? You know

how that makes me look?

I'm the one who's always lookin' out

foryou. I'm always making up excuses.

Seth, you are good

at undercover.

Real f***in' good.

Yeah, maybe too good.

You know what I mean?

Just make sure you know

what side you're on.

People have been coming around

asking questions about you.

Now is not the time to be freelancing.

Alright...

- Seth..

- What?

Don't cut me out of the loop.

I'm gonna tell the Lieutenant

something. I'll make it up.

In the meantime, you go out

and get me something concrete.

- okay. okay.

- Curtis, c'mon. Calm down.

I'll let you in when I got

something to let you in on.

I didn't mean anything

about Beth, okay?

- Yeah. It's cool.

- No really.

F*** it. F*** it!

Yeah, thanks.

Here, you take it.

Buy yourself something frilly.

The French fries were cold.

Who are you?

You took the words

right outta my mouth.

I'll ask again.

- Who are you?

- It doesn't matter.

It may not matterto you,

but it matters to us very much.

You know what, you've never

done this before, have you baby?

Huh? Now look...

Who I am is not important.

How I know about you

is of paramount f***ing

importance, okay.

Look, look, look...

I was arrested in Vegas.

I got nailed...

... on a Fed Ex job.I did time

with a guy named Slim Tony.

- okay?

- Go on. He told me all about...

your operation up here, your

crew. Said you were looking

for some... F***!

He told me you were looking

for some freelance talent

and here I am looking.

- Slim Tony?

- Yeah.

- In Vegas?

- What?

That dumb bastard!

He didn't tell you I was coming?

- There's no job.

- oh, bullshit.

Bullshit! What, you came over

here to put a gun to my head...

because you got nothing

betterto do?

The way I see it, you can either

pull the trigger...

oryou can get on the phone and

talk to Tony. He'll vouch for me.

You're either stupid...

- or just plain crazy.

- You know what?

I'll be whateveryou want me

to be if you don't shoot me.

Let's go.

Can I get up?

Can I get up, honey?

So where we going?

- We got some business.

- What does that have to do

with me getting something

to eat, 'cause I'm starving.

How long have you known

Slim Tony?

- I don't know. He looked me up

in Vegas. Afew years, maybe.

- Maybe?

- Yeah, maybe.

Now it's maybe.

I don't know down to the minute.

How long you been an a**hole?

Hey look, we just passed

a Chicken Shack!

- Hey, mind if I smoke?

- Actually, yes.

okay. I'll crack the window.

Perfect.

- Thank you so much.

- Mm hm.

So, I don't think we've been

formally introduced.

My name is Seth.

Hey, call me old-fashioned,

but I don't work with people

who don't tell me their names.

- My name is Seth.

Sophie Zen...

- A pretty name. Is that French?

- No it's not.

Do I know any Sophies?

You f***in' talk a lot, you know that?
