-I thought I could trust you.

-You can. What did I do?

I thought you were going to Kim's house.

I thought I was going over

to Kim's house, too. But Rae--

I didn't know that you knew

these people like this.

They were talking about this place,

and I'd never been here.

So I said, "Take me there."

You've never gotten into a cab

and changed your mind? Ever?

She didn't even know.

We would've told you.

You come here

and you're disrespectful to everybody.

Disrespectful? What?

It was a chill, mellow environment

until your ass showed up.

It was cool in here.

We were all relaxing, smoking joints...

...watching television.

-You said you were going to Kim's.

-And then we changed our minds.

-In the middle of the cab drive.

-Why are you here?

Alright, let her chill out.

Help me finish this. Come on.

It's cool.

Everybody's a little crazy right now.

Why do you gotta be getting

involved with my problems?

What do you mean, why I got

to get involved with your problems?

When he's around

you always disrespect me.

So f***ing what?

You're always telling me I'm your p*ssy,

I'm this, I'm that.

You gotta chill on that sh*t.

-Is that Mike Tyson?

-Yeah, that's Mike Tyson.

-Are you filming everything?

-It's part of the documentary.

-Check the joint out.

-Give me this sh*t.

Come on, it's part of the documentary.

I'm not doing anything bad with it.

Okay, this is me.

-This is what I look like.

-Yeah, I can see you right there.

-Is that really Mike Tyson?

-Yeah, that's Mike Tyson.

-Women in the Palaeolithic Era.

-The Golden Age.

Yeah. Goddesses.

-They ruled.

-No one understood procreation.

How would anybody know

without being told?

-People just go on being naive and angry.

-It makes perfect sense.

-We didn't go to the bookstore.

-We'll do it tomorrow.

-Keep well.

-You too. Bye.

Did you know that women

in the Palaeolithic Era were like....

-What's the matter?

-I'm f***ed.

-The game didn't work out?

-Nothing worked out. The guy was a cop.

-The guy who approached you?

-The guy who paid me!

You took the money.

You act surprised.

You thought I should take the money, too.

I said, "Do what you want,

just be true to yourself."

What was that supposed to mean?

That means free will, your choice.

And you chose to take the bribe.

-So what's the problem now, you regret it?

-Yeah, I regret it. I got caught!

Suppose you hadn't been caught.

Then what?

Then you would've felt good

about yourself, right?

So, who you are is based on external

judgements and not any conviction.

Are you listening to yourself?.

I'm in the worst trouble of my life...

...and you're examining it

like it's a term paper.

What happened? Did he arrest you?

-I guess.

-What do you mean you guess?

-He didn't want me.

-Who did he want?

He wanted me to rat out Rich

because of the sh*t he's doing.

-Then he'll let you go?

-That's what he said.

-What are you gonna do?

-I don't know.

I thought Rich was your friend.

We grew up together.

He went his way, I went my way.

All this is about f***ing with the law.

-And you've been straight?

-That's right.

-Now you broke away and got nailed?

-Are you saying I'm supposed to go to jail?

-I'm saying be true to yourself.

-What would you do?

It doesn't matter.

-Sorry. Are you having a private moment?

-Yeah.

-Excuse me, brother?

-I'm sorry, my heart is pounding right now.

I'm just so excited to meet you and stuff.

If I could just have a minute of your time

to tell you some things I have to get rid of.

-What can I do for you, my friend?

-I'm Terrence Doneger.

What can I do for you?

I'm sorry I'm so nervous.

I met you in the Versace store...

...in Los Angeles a while back,

and I was a little drunk, and--

I don't know you.

No, I didn't say that we knew each other,

just that I had met you before.

I wanted to apologise if I said anything--

-I don't remember.

-Good. 'Cause I barely remember myself.

Don't worry about it. You're okay, man.

I had a dream about you.

This was what I wanted to say.

It's why my heart is racing

and I'm so fluttery.

If I seem strange, I'd like to apologise.

I had a dream about you two weeks ago.

That's funny, because you were wearing

a shirt like the one you're wearing now.

-And in the dream--

-Listen.

I'm on parole brother. Please. Let's....

-Am I annoying you?

-I just wanna....

-I'm having a peaceful moment. Please.

-Okay.

In the dream, you were holding me,

that's all.

Motherf***er!

Sam, are you getting this?

Don't talk to me like that again!

God! What are you doing?

Don't f*** with me, come drinker!

I'm sure Mr. Tyson would rather

speak to so many other people right now.

I'm Sam.

She got that on tape.

That isn't right. You ain't right.

I don't know anything about this

white fag sh*t. White guys do this sh*t.

Listen, I'm from a different culture.

Steady on the assault and battery now.

I was in the penitentiary.

They said I raped somebody, so just....

-Do you wanna talk to me about it?

-That's okay.

I'll take your word for it.

They put you underneath the penitentiary

for the white women.

Is there a difference?

What's the difference between

a white woman versus a black woman?

Don't touch no white b*tch.

They got me with that other.

Do you want me to turn it off?.

-Please, now.

-Do you want me to turn it off?.

Please! You're not dealing with an animal.

This is not a study of animals.

It's off. Okay?

Please allow me....

Just leave me here, please.

-Okay.

-Please.

Can I just introduce myself to you?

ln all honesty, I'm a fan.

Go ahead with that strange individual.

I don't think he meant any harm.

I really don't.

What's his name?

-Whose name?

-The cop.

Mark Clear.

What does he look like?

-What does he look like?

-Yes.

What difference does it make

what he looks like?

Just curious.

He looks like what he is.

So what are you gonna do now?

You're definitely beautiful to look at.

-You really believe that?

-Why would I say that?

Do you think I want you mad at me

for lying? I'm not gonna lie to you.

Of course I wouldn't be angry 'cause

no one ever told me that I was gorgeous.

But you are, you really are. Come on!

You've got beautiful eyes.

And I'm in the phone book. Sam Doneger.

Hold on. A chick named Greta

wanna holler at you.

Greta? What the f*** she wanna holler

at me for? What's going on here?

Are you okay, honey? That was great.

Rich right here. Speak to me.

Listen, I've gotta see you right away.

-What's on your mind?

-Not on the phone.

You're in a lot of trouble.

I wanna help you,

but you have to come out and meet me.

What do you mean

I may be in a lot of trouble?

What the f*** are you gonna help me with?

Be at The Roger Williams Hotel.

Room 406, in one hour.

-Meet you at a hotel?

-That's right.

-Why you can't tell me over the phone?

-Just be there. Trust me.

Let's get this sh*t straight.

Ain't no funny business going on here.

Me and my man Dean been down
