What days are you working here?

I don't know, they haven't

made my schedule yet.

Let me know 'cause I'm coming

back for this double D dogs.

Guys, check out Jenny.

That's the birth of a cougar.

Ah.

Hey, bro?

Bro, hey.

Come on, keep it in your pants.

F*** you, Haden. Thought you guys

were supposed to be gone a week.

Uh, this dumb sh*t spent all his

honeymoon money on strippers.

I spent my money

on you asswipes.

Blowing it f***ing at the

wedding boozin' it up.

Yeah.

Gross, I'm out of here.

- Jenny.

- Hey, good one, bro.

Good one.

Wait up.

- Let's go.

- Yeah.

- We just got here.

- It's alright, let's do it.

Let's go. It's Saturday.

Let's go.

Hey, Sarah.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, why?

It's 'cause you haven't

said anything all day.

No, I'm just tired.

How was the honeymoon anyway?

It was fine. Whatever.

- How's Dairy Dream?

- It's fine.

- Are you coming?

- Come on.

- I'm not gonna come.

- Why not?

I just have a couple

of things I need to do.

Oh, come on, what do you

have to do on a Saturday?

Just a few things.

I'll call you later.

Alright, see ya.

Bye, Sarah.

So far, most of the work

on octopus intelligence

has been carried out on..

I'll put these on you.

Is trying a new approach

to further test

this incredible animal's

thought process.

Stromboli may offer

a natural habitat..

Here you go,madame.

Because this should

be the perfect location.

What is it about

the octopus' intelligence?

I wanna be an animal too.

To predict disaster.

- I know what you'd be.

- What?

- A meerkat.

- Why?

'Cause, um..

Well, I don't know you

that well, but... they're smart

and they can eat scorpions.

I've never eaten

a scorpion before.

You've ever googled

abnormally large clitorises?

- Boy, you're crazy.

- I'm not crazy.

That's what they look like.

- I'm pretty like this?

- Yeah.

I like you better

without the mask.

Me too.

- You are new here, aren't you?

- Mm-hmm.

- What's your name?

- Sahara.

Sahara.

Where's your accent from?

- England.

- Oh, right.

Yeah.

- Hi, daddy.

- Oh, my.

My little angel.

Come here, I got something

special for ya.

- You do?

- Uh-huh.

Oh, alright.

I'm not ripping you off.

That's how it goes.

- That's how it goes?

- Yeah.

But I wanna know why, uh

I gotta be selling to you

when you've been beggin'.

These things don't even go right.

You know what I'm saying?

- Yes.

- Yeah.

- Go have fun.

- Always, baby.

You know it.

You have a good night.

Hey, so, uh

the guy from Vegas came in

looking for you last night.

Yeah?

What did you tell him?

I really didn't know

what to tell him

other than, you weren't

staying with me anymore.

Well, if he comes in again,

just tell him I left.

Oh, he said you owe him

a lot of money.

Yeah, well,

that's what they all say.

You know and I gave you

a place to crash

and hooked you up with the club

so... just don't

get me in trouble, okay?

Don't even bother

with that one.

He'll just talk your ear off

and not even pay for your drink.

- You know him?

- No, but I can just tell.

See Ginger over there?

She spends all night doing

laps around the room.

Hustling all the customers.

Not me.

I will sit here

and enjoy my drink

until I see the right guy.

And how do you know

he's the right one?

Just observe, honey.

Okay.

You see that man over there?

Just look at him,

he's scared of us.

You're lucky if you get

one lap dance out of me.

See that cocky bastard

over there?

He'll wave you over, you know,

tip you a few dollars

tell you there's more

where that came from.

He doesn't even really have

any money to spend on you.

This place is like

a little Petri dish.

You know, there's some locals

and they're good

for tips on stage.

There's the freaks.

There's pervs. Saviors.

The one you really wanna be

looking for..

Is totally confident, you know.

He doesn't have to prove it,

he just is.

He may look like

he doesn't have money

but there's something

special about him.

He knows the difference between

what's real and what's not

and if you're real with him..

You walk away

with so much money.

Sometimes you just have to sit

and talk with him, you know?

'Cause at the end of the night

the most important

interaction..

Comes from your soul.

Hey.

You look pretty.

So I gotta get out of town

for the weekend..

'Cause, uh..

You wanna come with me?

How's my hair?

You look great.

You look much better like that.

Oh, my God.

Is that you?

You're so cute.

You have glasses.

Oh.

Why did you throw that away?

'Cause it's not me anymore.

Where are we going?

I wanna take you

to one of my favorite places.

When I was younger

I used to sit

by the window at night..

And say..

"Dear God.."

"Dear God, if you want me

to believe in you,

you have to show me a sign."

And did God show you a sign?

Like, like a burning bush?

No.

But, um..

I don't know.

Maybe you're not supposed to be

so demanding.

Or I'll just start dealing.

It's complicated, you know?

I mean, I'd rather be doing

what I'm doing

than doing some

nine-to-five job.

It can be exactly like dancing,

you know?

It's like an addiction.

I'm addicted to it.

It could be like a black hole

that just pulls you..

Under.

And then it's very hard

to get out.

And the longer you do it

the harder it is.

I mean, I should've stopped

a long time ago.

If you stop, I'll stop.

Good deal.

Hey, look.

It's peyote.

You're taking with me?

Okay.

Okay.

Hi, honey.

It's cold. Come in here.

In your little world.

I like you.

I like you too.

You're beautiful.

You're working today?

- Yeah.

- You look nice.

Thanks, mom.

I'm heading to the store,

you want me to pick up

something for you?

It's okay. I can do it.

Okay.

Mikey, come to register 2,

you have a phone call.

Don't forget this.

How would you like

to pay for all this?

Cash.

How much is it?

$97.22.

You can keep the change.

- It hurts.

- Hold still.

- Hey, grandpa.

- Hi, sweetie.

- What's this?

- A present.

Wow. Look at that.

Well, I knew you wanted one.

- Did you get a raise?

- Yup.

I'm proud of you, sweet pea.

Where you going?

Where you've been, Pepper? Um..

You know,

I've been calling you.

Yeah, I know, I, uh..

I, uh, I've been trying

to get you your money.

Yeah. Where is it?

- Um...

- Where is the money?

I, uh, I can definitely

get it to you by Friday..

My f***ing ass is on the

line, do you understand that?

I'm f***ing talking to you,

Pepper.

Let go of me. You f***in'..

Carlos.

- I can't breath.

- Pepper.

I f***ing warned you, Pepper.

- I'll get you the money.

- When?

Friday.

I set up a profile and I got a

good picture and everything, but..

So how was that guy

the other night?

I mean, he was okay.

He had this weird fetishistic

thing and he started to tie me up

and then I was, like,

you know what

let's have some dinner first

or at least a snack.

Typical freaking male.

He, like, was shaven down there

and I thought
