over on aisle seven.

No problem.

You're doing a

great job, Lola.

You keep up the good work,

you're gonna go places

in this company.

Okay, thanks.

Sam:
You always

cheat on your wife?

Or you'd always f*** other

men's wives, what is it?

I didn't lose my

virginity until I was 18.

I had to pay a hooker for that.

I married the first girl that

actually liked me for me.

Probably got married too early.

I don't know.

That's a touchin'

little tale you got there,

but I still see you as a

self-absorbed a**hole.

Damn it, Punchy.

(keys jingle)

What you doin' with

two phones, Punchy, hmm?

One of 'em's your throwaway

for the whores, isn't it?

Bet you your wife ain't

got that one, does she?

Wonder which number you got.

(phone beeping)

(phone ringing)

Look at that, Peaches.

Look at that.

Now you know what

he thinks of ya.

Just one of his little whores.

You think you got it

all figured out, huh?

You got everythin'.

Guess that this ain't enough

for some folks, though, huh?

You got all them nice things.

Is that what my

wife is to ya, huh?

She's a friend.

She can't be your friend.

You don't even know her name.

I know when ya'll first met,

she was married.

I also know when you

started f***in' her,

she was still married.

I know what you're thinkin'.

We the same.

That loser used to

beat the piss outta her.

I saved her.

That marriage was over

when I came into it.

Why, 'cause you say it was?

Tell him, Ashley.

Tell him I saved you.

You did, Sam.

Yeah, he did save me.

He did.

No, we ain't the same.

Yes, you are.

I am not like you!

He beat her!

Damien:
And that's horrible.

I mean, but the state of

Louisiana says she

was still married.

This makes you an

adulterer, Sam.

Just like me.

No better, no worse.

You gotta accept that.

We the same.

You can f*** with my life,

and you can humiliate me,

you can hit me.

You can even kill me.

But it ain't gonna change

the fact that you are me.

Probably never'd

been together if

you hadn't f***ing

run on your old man.

I just, I couldn't help it.

I just couldn't stop

thinkin' about you.

I couldn't.

I couldn't sleep, I

couldn't do nothin'.

I couldn't even think.

And I always felt like you

felt the same way about me.

(crying)

I do, Sammy.

I do.

I did this to myself.

You know,

my step daddy,

he was a dumb sh*t,

he didn't know much,

but one thing he did always say

was that

a leopard can't

change his spots.

That's one thing

he was right about.

We are what we are.

And that's that.

(metronome ticking)

And you got so many

women in here.

Why'd you have to

take my girl, too?

F*** it, man.

You're gonna kill me anyway,

I'll tell you the truth.

Because I could.

Ashley:
God damn it, Damien.

Why'd you have to say that?

Don't you see what

this is doing to him?

What it's doing to him?

He's got the f***ing gun.

Just stop!

You know, I'm getting real

sick of people like you.

The takers.

All ya'll do with your

money and your smarts,

you take advantage of

the weak and stupid.

I got news for ya.

I ain't weak.

And I ain't no idiot, neither.

Oh, Sam.

You're the judge.

You're the jury.

And the executioner.

You know, you

smartass motherf***er.

Did you grow up in Mandeville?

Go to Trinity Prep?

You one of them

motherfuckers over there?

Hollygrove.

Sam:
Hollygrove, huh?

You ain't nothin'

like them folks.

I work with some of them folks.

Coming from you, Sam,

I take that as a compliment.

No.

They different from you

in a really good way.

Them folks is decent.

Them folks is God-fearing.

- They ain't like you.

- (Damien tuts)

You really come

up in Hollygrove?

What is that, just something

you said to my wife?

So you'd get close

to her and f*** her?

It's not really something

I'm proud of, so, no.

It's not something I say

for women to f*** me.

I came up hard, Sam.

Real hard.

You ashamed?

Well, you might be too.

I was that nerdy kid.

Some cheap-ass glasses

that everybody picked on,

got his ass kicked a

couple times a week.

(scoffs)

No big brothers,

no cousins, no family.

No friends.

Nobody had my back.

Just me and my momma.

And she was 16 when

she had me, so...

You know, we just had to

look out for each other.

She did what she could.

What about your daddy?

He's a weak f***.

He was a piece of sh*t.

F***ing coward.

They said they'd say

to him he was like a,

he was my momma's

high school teacher.

(thudding)

She wasn't a whore, though.

She was just confused, you know?

Got taken advantage of.

He had family across

town, so, he, know,

what about her,

basically, right?

But my momma did fine.

(phone buzzing)

- Sam:
Hello?

- Hey, Sam, it's Lola.

Sam, are you okay?

You don't sound right.

No, no, it's gotta

be the connection.

Okay.

Well, Jimmy's looking for you.

When you coming back to work?

I... I'm not sure.

I had a home invasion.

Oh, my God, is everything okay?

No, it's not,

but it's goin' to be okay.

What should I tell Jimmy?

Just tell him I'm not

coming back to work today.

Tell him I got a critter

problem I'm dealing with.

- A what?

- Sam:
Critter problem.

This real big motherf***er

got up in my house

and just made a mess

of everything.

Oh, my God, what is it?

Not sure.

But I aim to kill it.

Lola:
God.

(chuckles)

Well, I'll let Jimmy know, but,

you really should give

him a call, though.

Okay.

Hey, Lola.

Thank you.

Lola:
No problem, Sammy.

Just call me if

you need anything.

Okay.

- Lola:
Bye.

- Bye.

(phone beeping)

(crashing)

No more f***ing interruptions.

Gotta pee.

Sammy, I've gotta pee.

Then go on ahead.

The hell do you

think you're doing?

You said go ahead.

Are you gonna make me

pee myself, right here?

Now you got a pot to piss in.

(thudding)

Play with dirt, you get dirty.

Call your wife.

Can't do that.

(gun cocking)

Call her.

She's pregnant, no,

she's two months pregnant,

I don't wanna lose the baby.

Sam:
I ain't worried

about your excuses.

That's somethin' you

just shoulda thought

about before you

started f***in' my wife.

I want you to call her.

Put her on speaker.

So I can watch you tell

her what you did to me.

(ringing)

Hey, honey.

Hey, baby.

Jasmine:
Are you

on your way home?

Yes.

Is everything okay?

No.

Jasmine:
What's going on?

I ran into a little

trouble on the way home.

What did you do, Dame?

Who is it this time?

What I'm trying to

tell you, baby, is, um...

What he's trying to say...

Shut the f*** up.

Who is that?

Oh, my God, was that a man?

What are you trying to tell me?

Well, Jasmine, this is Sam.

And, uh, what your husband

is trying to say is that

right now I got a gun

pointed at his head.

Cause I came home and

caught him f***in' my wife.

Say hello, Ashley.

Hello.

Dame, please.

Please tell me this is not true.

I f***ed up 'cause

I'm f***ed up.

You promised me that

this would never happen,

and I thought we were fine!

I thought everything was...

(weeping)

F***ed up, I'm just f***ed up.
