so while you get drunk and passed out

on the couch like always.

i went out with my best friend.

where is Ruby?

where is Ruby ?

- at my moms, why?

- You b*tch!

you didnt went out with christina last night!

Don't you ever put your goddamn hands on me

again, do you hear me, you alcoholic bastard !

who is Alfonso?

- who is he?

- Idon't know!

who is he?

- someone saw you last night with him!

- who?

your stupid drug dealer friends?

he is using you, stupid!

anyways, why the f*** does it matter who

i go out with anyway?

it matters, because you are my wife,

this doesnt mean anything to you?

It hasnt meant anything to me in

a long time Tony.

I tought you said there was still a

chance for us.

- that's why Idon't go out and f*** around.

-bullshit!

Bullshit!

You're telling me that you havent f***ed that...

what the hell is her name

That f***ing Jenny b*tch?

she wouldnt let me cause we're still married.

wow, im done with your ass.

I am tired of your macho,

alcoholic racist bullshit !

do you hear me?

do you hear me?

I am leaving you!

I killed Alfonso.

what?

the man you're seeing behind my back.

i think I killed him.

oh my god!

what did you do?

what did you do?

what the f*** did you do you a**hole...?

what did you do?

I don't know.

I got it down to three years.

You are only gonna have to serve 2,

2 and a half of that.

It's the best that I could do with all

your priors.

I tought I made myself perfectly clear,

"Stay out of trouble!"

you almost killed a man with

your bare hands, Tony!

i mean who does that?

the only reason you're getting off,

It's because the victim cant be located,

and the witness is off in Mexico somewhere

Consider yourself a lucky guy, Tony!

But I got to tell you,

your luck is running out.

It should have been my life

You know what, you are right.

Ugliness comes in all shapes.

from The devils cleverest ruses

to make you believe he doesnt exist at all.

Let me give you some advice.

the devil is gonna come after whatever

is the most important thing in your life .

I am gonna let you chew on

that for a second

in the meantime,

did you get yourself a job?

No, but im looking.

I can help you there.

Look, officer Southern...

I don't need your help.

what are you afraid it's gonna be

a waste of my damn time?"

why should I go get a job? because

i will end up back in the joint!

Well it sound like you

got me all figured out!

yeah, I know you!

i know your kind! I've been around it all my life!

you know what though?

I am gonna do something for you.

I am gonna do for you, exactly what my

parole officer, my mentor did for me.

I am gonna ignore you.

Is that what you are? a mentor?

because Idon't need one!

They never do!

all right

So I am noticing here, that you had supervised

visitation rights for you daughter Ruby?

- yeah.

- that's impressive!

And you actually fought for

those rights is more impresiive .

yes I did.

Antonio I gotta be honest with you.

You remind me of myself.

From all the pieces of crap that

come walking through my door everyday ,

you remind me of me...

That's probably why I don't like you very much.

you want me to give you a swing?

you've got 25 minutes.

Okay.

wanna go over there and sit down?

okay.

that cloud over there looks like

a slice of pizza with legs?

and that one looks like a gorilla fighting.

that one looks like a fat lady with weight.

actually it looks like a marsupial.

what is that?

a marsupial is a mamal

that has a pocket in his skin.

it puts the baby inside

so they can develop more.

are you telling me that fatty is a kangaroo?

yeah.

are you gonna leave me again?

- do you want me to leave?

- no.

- well then I wont.

- you promise?

yeah.

i promise.

I am ready to go swing now.

This is a moment I need to make a memory

Idon't have many of that...good memories that is

I had a dad once, died of

a heart attack when I was eight

My mom remarried

you see the kind of love a man

gives a lonely woman, a son can

never give

and she'll take it, no matter what the price

Look at me do I look like im playing with you?

this will be the last f***ing

thing you will ever see?!

You knwo how white men came to power?

by raping and pillaging everyone

in this piece of sh*t world.

that is how.

Started with all of them...

F***ed up all them geronimos

and tontos out here.

scalped them sons of b*tches!

Then the n*ggers got it after them...

but who cares about those peope, right?

that is why, the white man has to stay strong.

Superiour!

because it is up to us to keep

a watch on all them n*ggers!

we gotta keep tabs on them spics

and waps and ching changs!

we gotta watch out from people

from f***ing mars !

wanna know a secret?

can you keep a secret?

good, cause the white man killed you daddy.

that's right.

when he had his heart attack,

the white doctors didnt do sh*t...

- dad!

- hey?

are you okay?

time is up.

do I have to go right now?

Rules are rules young girl.

Your daddys time is up. let's go

- Miss Partels...

- don't you ever touch me!

If you ever so much lay a hand on me again,

i will report you for violation.

Do you happen to remember an individual

by the name of Judge brown"?

she is a very good friend of mine.

- I just want another minute with my daughter.

- absolutely not!

I gave you 25 minutes and that's what you got.

what are you doing here?

You know the rules, this is his time Mrs Jimenez

Brooks, not Jimenez.

You are in direct violations of the rules.

I suggest you go back and read your manual again.

look up the code of conduct,

i'll be in your house with your daughter.

Be there.

B*tch!

Takes one to know one, right?

so where is your white b*tch?

idon't know what f***ing judge you talked to,

to get this sh*t, but I am gonna put a stop to it .

it's f***ing ridiculous that the state would

even consider giving you visitation rights. .

i told you, I was totally shot

in the inside and the outside.

besides it's only once a week, for now.

For now?

So...

your low life friends stopped

by the house looking for you .

who?

The drug dealer that got you put in

jail in the first place, "Capone".

- he came by the house?

- yeah, Tony!

and Idon't want that scum around my family.

thats why I moved out of the f***ing hood

So you keep your trash out of my house.

all right, fine

So how long?

how long what?

How long till you break rubys heart again?

How long till you go to jail

and f*** up a promise you made to that little girl?

I want you to waive your rights,

idon't want you to see her anymore

Listen!

I think in my opinion...

and a lot of people opinions, that Steven

is a better father figure than you.

He is better for rubys life.

you know what?

you're a b*tch!

You are a b*tch now, and you were a b*tch then!

I aint waiving sh*t!

Dont call me names!
