It's almost 7:
00.

Save those.

Save those.

Ah.

Still hurts?

Yeah, and will soon.

I think a millimeter

from my lingual nerve.

Your lingual nerve?

My boob hurts.

Still?

I know.

What if I have cancer?

You do not have cancer.

Everyone says you're pretty.

Perverts.

I'm proud of it.

You don't count.

I'm just categorizing some CDs.

Oh.

- Uh, yeah, the poetry ones.

- Cool.

- Do you like poetry?

- Yeah.

You know, it's like music

without music.

Oh, I love this.

- Any luck?

- Look what they have.

Do you guys have this

on cassette by any chance?

'Cause we don't have

a CD player in our car.

Oh, yeah, well,

we got a bargain box of tapes

around here someplace.

Um, I'll go look for it.

Thanks.

I don't know.

12 I think.

Anything good?

No.

But... it'll sell.

Oh, sh*t, this is like 15.

Perry Mary better give me

a five apiece for this.

- 16.

- Oh!

My little Harry Houdini.

I guess he still has

that bargain bin

he was talking about.

I love you.

Now... wish me luck.

Good luck.

- Baby!

- Oh, my God.

I hate it when you do that.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

How much did you get?

Perry Mary says nobody's bought

a CD in two weeks.

How much did you get?

What's up, bro?

Y'all got sh*t f***ed up

doing everything

the way y'all want to.

He cool.

What's up, Adam?

- Hey.

- Haven't seen you in a while.

Yeah, just laying low, bro.

- No crazy hustles?

- Not lately.

- How much you need?

- Six.

Uh, seven.

I can seven for the 60.

Thanks, man.

Whoo.

Waiting on the bus?

Yep.

Still with the old girl?

Yeah.

Yeah, she's out there.

That sh*t been hot, man.

Half the block

got locked up Thursday.

I gotta get out this sh*t.

I gotta play

that stock market, man.

Know what they say...

Buy low.

Sell high.

You take it slow, Adam.

- Thanks, man.

- All right.

We're in business.

He said it's strong, so go easy.

He always says that.

I've got to have

your good loving

I've got to have

your good loving

I've got to have

your good loving

Your good, good loving

Without you

My life ain't no good,

oh, no

I'd be dead,

dead, dead, dead

Like a piece of wood,

oh, yeah

I'm no good,

good to myself

For you

or nobody else

You'd better believe me,

what I say

Don't keep my hanging on

Let me die today

I've got to have

your good loving

I've got to have

your good loving

Jude.

I need a minute here, love.

I need your lighter.

Kind of in a pinch, honey.

Just slide it across the floor.

You want me to slide it

across the floor.

- Yes.

- Across this dirty, germ-infested...

- Yes.

- All right, hold on.

Women, right?

I'll help clean you.

See, there's more nerves

in the bottom of the human foot

than any other part of the body.

It stimulates

the Babinski Effect.

- Babinski?

- Babinski.

I still say b*obs

are much sensitiver.

But Gary didn't have b*obs.

So what I would do

is I would tie him up,

and then I would nail

a bunch of pins

to the bottom of his feet,

like a hundred of them,

and he'd never walk again.

- What's wrong?

- It's no use.

I'm sorry.

I just... I did too much sh*t.

- I could...

- No.

- I could...

- I know, I know.

I'm sorry.

Wax on, wax off.

Ooh-chop.

I love his little karate outfit.

Oh, my God, amazing.

Two windows over.

Holy crackers.

I want that to be us one day.

Top left.

Jesus.

30 seconds, go.

Hi there.

Are you lonely tonight?

Do you need a little company?

Well, I'm a sexy,

horny college girl

looking to blow off

a little steam,

if you know what I mean.

So call Roxy at mailbox 721.

Done.

- How was that?

- It was good.

Let me do it again.

No, it's good.

I want some of that.

Roxy? Really?

Yeah.

I went to high school

with a girl named Roxy.

She had a lisp.

We're too early.

What are we gonna do

for an hour?

How do I look?

Like a guy who works

at a funeral home.

Like the handsomest guy

who works in a funeral home.

Just act like we belong.

We do.

Do you think a prayer

gets more attention

if it's wrapped in a $10 bill?

Nah.

A 20 maybe.

I could price, you know,

4,000 CDs in a year,

and wouldn't even come close.

No, sh*t!

I've always wanted one of these.

Oh, how perfect would this

be for our road trip?

Let's keep it.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

How close are we?

We are...

here.

Aw, yeah.

Look at that landscaping.

I need a hit for this.

Do you have anything?

- I'm out.

- No.

I gotta like a rinse.

That's it.

Sh*t.

Don't forget to honk this time.

Take this.

- For what?

- For protection.

What am I gonna do?

Put up shelves?

So... welcome.

Make yourself comfortable.

- Wow.

- Yeah, I was just watching the game.

...have already

surpassed their sack total

from all of last season.

Turn it off.

They have nine sacks,

have six...

I'm, uh...

My name is...

Oh, it doesn't matter.

I'm gonna call you Guy.

If that's okay with you, Guy.

Sure.

Yeah.

Sit, Guy,

you're making me nervous.

Oh... I'm sorry.

So what do you do?

Uh, I'm in, uh...

I work at the Board of Trade.

You must be good at your job.

Oh, you know.

I do all right.

I had some good things happen

in grains.

I work in grains.

Cool.

Not at all.

But, you know,

it's a job, though.

So you're gonna

behave yourself, right?

Hmm?

We can do our business

without Frank

having to come in here

and watch us the whole time.

Oh, y-yeah.

Yeah.

Of course.

Good.

I hate it when he watches.

I have some cocaine.

Yeah-oh.

Do you, um...

Do you party?

This is... well.

It's supposed to be pretty

good stuff.

So, well, you know,

it's an option.

Oh, sh*t, um...

I almost forgot.

You talked to Frank

on the phone, right?

You know the rules?

Oh, yeah, yes.

He hates it

when I tell people this,

but a couple of months ago,

I was with this guy,

and he didn't want to pay,

and so then when Frank came in

to make him pay,

he called the cops,

said he was being robbed.

Can you believe that?

So now Frank

just makes me bring out

the first half and then,

you know,

the second half when we're done.

So what happened with the...

With the guy?

We went back a few days later,

and Frank set his house on fire.

Um... here.

You know what?

I'm gonna just give you

a bit more for just, you know,

because, and then...

And then I'll give you more,

um, you know...

Be right back.

They out of town

for the weekend?

No, they're... I get my kids

every other weekend.

My ex is, um...

She's...

They live in Skokie.

Um, make another drink,

and I'll be right back.

Go.

F***ing go!

Oh, man, I swear to God, babe.

This is the last time

that we're going to do this.

I get so nervous

when you're in there.

Just a rinse, right?

Mm-hmm.

You just had a rinse left,

right?

Yeah.

Our lives

still mean something

Where the desert

and the mountains meet

Where the desert

and the mountains meet

I wish I's

in the sunshine

Drinking tequila,

beer, and wine

Where

the cactus flower bloom

We'll set up camp beneath

the moon

We'll set up camp

just me and you

And I will

sing you cowboy songs
