No! I need some money now!

Do you understand me? Tonight!

Come on. I sold out,

so I deserve some, right?

You've got a brilliant career ahead

of you, Cruz, but all that talent

can go right in the garbage.

Think about that when you're

getting high with your friends tonight.

Please, no Baptist sermons,

okay, Janis?

Strictly business, remember?

Thank you.

I got a hot tip, Al.

How's my credit?

- Hey!

- Oh, come on. Don't be that way.

Nothin' like poppin' that cherry,

huh, Al?

Red Ryder, your mouth, your mouth.

- Lakers won in overtime, Al.

- Oh!

Give him a green one.

No, the other green one.

Why do you keep bettin'

on them L.A. teams, Lightning?

She looks a little bowlegged

to me, Al.

You're gonna always

be runner-up, punk.

I'm still gonna cut that VL placa

off of you, sissy.

Hey, Pancho, don't be a sore loser.

Get the f*** out of here.

I don't want that greaser pimp

even talking to you. Understand me?

Tomorrow is your day, gero.

Tonight you must read the black book.

These are the killing points. The arrows

show where a man can be killed.

Hit a man here or here,

and he dies slowly and painfully.

Hit a man here or here,

and he dies instantly.

When you get to the kitchen in the

morning, look in the largest stockpot.

Geronimo will be watching.

If you're successful tomorrow,

you'll become one of us.

If you fail, you die.

Hey, no, I got that, Howie.

Let a real man do the job.

It's all yours.

All right, you slaves!

I want them things cleaned

in one hour. Now, move it!

You, get to work!

Come on now. You heard the man.

Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it.

- You got to do what the man says.

- Hey, come on, man!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, my back!

Oh, it's so hot!

- What do you want me to do?

- Somebody get that off! Oh!

Oh, it's burning my back! God! He burned

my back on purpose! I know he did!

- It hurts, damn it! It hurts!

- I know it hurts!

I can't do nothing for you.

Put-Put it... Put-Put it away!

Put it away!

Hey! What the f***

are you doing in here?

I'm sorry. Excuse me. I didn't know.

- What are you doing in here?

- I didn't do anything.

- This room is off-limits.

- You shouldn't be in here, babycakes.

- All you men, back it up.

- What do you want?

- I'm sorry. I just wanted

more steel wool.

- You are f***ing up, Al,

letting this kid in here.

- That's okay, Bob. He's cool.

- Cool, bullshit. Nobody else

is supposed to know about this.

- I won't say anything.

- Shut up!

- It's all right, Sergeant.

He does what I say.

Hey, I am not risking everything

for some piece of ass!

Just a goddam minute. You get paid

plenty for your risk, right? Am I right?

- Yeah, right.

- Well, all right then. Now, get moving.

We got plenty of trips for you to make.

And remember, I got a receipt for every

dollar you got in that money belt.

Hey, what the f*** are you looking at?

Get your ass right there,

stand there and don't move!

Bob, cover that money up.

How long does it take you to get

back here from the parking lot?

- Fifteen minutes.

- All right, I expect you

back here in... in ten.

- You keep this damn door closed.

- Don't you give me orders.

You just make sure nobody

sees you leaving here.

God damn you, you little bastard!

Don't you ever come in here!

I done told you!

Now get the f*** out of here!

You little prick tease! I'm tired of you

swinging your precious little ass around

like you own the joint!

You haven't put out worth sh*t!

I'm sorry, Al.

I f***ed up. I know.

Forgive me.

I thought you were alone.

- Get out!

- Please don't hold it against me.

- Shut up!

- Please?

Let me make it up to you.

I know I've held back,

but I'm not gonna do it any more.

We don't have a lot of time.

Come on.

Let's get to it.

- Hurry up. Hurry up.

- I'm gonna lick you clean.

- Do it, b*tch.

- Lay back and enjoy it.

- Sh*t!

- I'm telling you, man.

Lieutenant, I don't know

what you're talking about.

Oh, you're trying to insult my

intelligence? You're Onda, he's BGA.

Look, I know you're

the gang coordinator,

but you side on the wolf ticket.

- Sh*t!

- Come on.

- Don't bullshit me.

Have a heart.

I'm trying to stay out of trouble.

I just want to get out of here.

I can make something of my life

before I get too old to enjoy it.

Al, I told you to keep the door...

You f***in' little sh*t!

Okay, gentlemen, it was just

an accident. Get back to work.

You got breakfast to make.

Man down! Let's go! Storage room.

Man down. Let's go.

God damn it!

You all want to f*** with me?

Sergeant, I want you

to shake this place down.

I want the ID and background

on every man in here.

All right, I want to know who did it.

Somebody in here gets 25 years,

or you're all dead, so take your pick.

You shut up!

I wanna know who did it.

Everybody in here goes into lockdown.

No exercise, no rec room, no sunshine.

Get out of there!

No nothin' until I get some answers.

And until I do, you're not

gonna see the light of day.

Sergeant Devereaux!

Sergeant Devereaux, I want you

to strip-search these men.

Everyone here is going

to do time in the hole.

- Hello!

- Hey, big fella.

- You'll get it.

- Say, Sarge, where's the food?

- You'll get it! It's on its way.

Sarge, throw us the damn food, man!

If I don't get that damn book

and money back, you're not gonna

walk off this cell block alive.

- Do you understand what I'm saying?

- Your name's in that book, Bob.

- Hey, Bob.

- What?

Can I get an extra dessert tomorrow?

Hey, push this cart over here!

Let's move, man!

I'm getting hungry up here!

Shut the f*** up.

- Whose are they?

- They're a friend

of my brother's, home.

But he won't say sh*t.

He's asleep anyway.

- You're gonna get in trouble

if he wakes up.

- Nah, f*** that.

All right!

Hey, see you later, homes.

- He's gonna get pissed at you.

- No, I'll kick his ass.

- Hey, Cruz! I thought Chuey...

- Hey, man, this ain't no playground.

- Damn!

- Oy, e, pendejo,

you don't know how to knock?

I'm sorry, but it's cool.

I know what's up.

Chale, it ain't cool,

and you don't know what's up.

You understand?

I'm sorry. Your place is great,

and I wanna come back.

Okay, carnalito, but be cool. You can't

just barge in anywhere you want.

- All right.

- Go upstairs and watch TV

until Mom comes.

I took his shoes

and I threw them.

Go on. Go upstairs and practise so you

can be a badass like Bobby Chacon.

- Simn, eh?

- Hey, hey, hey!

Tell Mom that my back was hurting

so I had to take a nap, all right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, vete.

What the f***'s wrong with you?

You can't f***ing be sonando yourself

when my carnalito's around.

- That's cool, homes.

- It ain't cool, homes.

Come on, Cruzito.

Come on, man. Come on down.

This will cure

your back pain, homes.

Ah. Painting those 22 masks

is a drag, homes.

I'm tired of this assembly-line sh*t.

It's money in the bank, Cruzito.

Paint some rucas, homes.

It's all right, she said

It's all right
