You gotta stay with Mom!

Jesus f***ing Christ,|what is this place? Oh, my God!

Shut the f*** up.

You two b*tches were just meat.

You never had any idea smarter|than getting yourselves...

...a little bit more.

But my brother J-Bird, here,|this n*gger was smart.

He didn't just want more.

He wanted more|with compound interest.

Come on, Jimmy. Please, man.

- Get Lou.|- Get him.

Get that f***er.

Bye, Loopy Lou!

- It's the blood.|- What, Mama?

Remember when I told you|that a person...

...has more than two parts,|they have three?

Body, soul, and spirit?

The spirit|lives in the blood...

...and the spirit keeps|the body and souI together...

...and sometimes|the spirit lives on.

Jimmy's blood|must still be in that building.

Let's go.

Look here, Jimmy.|I got $20,000 saved up, buried.

Don't nobody know|where it is but me.

You can have half of it.

All right.|You can have it all, man.

Come on, man.

I really don't-

Jimmy! Jimmy!|Come on, man, Jimmy!

And now, J-Bird, my brother...

...it's time for you|to collect your interest.

This is it.

We found that skeleton|right down here.

All right, it was here.|Right here!

- What'd he have on?|- Nothin'.

No, wait,|there was a green rag.

My god, my dress.

My bloody dress.|We gotta burn it.

We gotta close the door.|Find my dress!

The blood on the dress|is keeping him alive!

- I couldn't find anything!|- Look for it!

You was my main man.

Since we was grasshoppers.

I always looked after you.

You had a piece|of everything I had.

I didn't want|a piece of yours, Jimmy.

I wanted my own.

And f*** everybody else, huh?

God damn, Jimmy!|Think about it, Jimmy.

If it had happened to you...

...you would've done|the same goddamn thing, man.

Nah, brother.

I wouldn't have done|any manner of what you did.

It's a trip, ain't it?

Oh, my God.|Are you all right?

- Baby, you OK?|- She's all right.

- Be careful!|- Oh, hell, no!

Bill, slow down! Be careful.

Don't get hurt. Be careful.

Oh, sh*t.

Watch your step.

Adam Simon

Adam Simon (born February 6, 1962) is an American director, producer, and screenwriter. His directing credits include Brain Dead (1990), Body Chemistry II: The Voice of a Stranger (1992), and Carnosaur (1993). Simon, along with producer Brannon Braga, co-created the television series Salem. As a screenwriter, Simon is known for Bones (2001), and The Haunting in Connecticut (2009). He plays a humorous version of himself, pitching a project and getting barred from the studio lot in the famous opening-shot of Robert Altman's The Player (1992). He previously appeared, thinly veiled, as a fictional character in Christopher Guest's film The Big Picture (1989) and would reappear in Kim Newman's novel Johnny Alucard (2013), where he again pitches a project and becomes the only person in Hollywood standing up to a particularly sinister studio executive.Kim Newman has noted that Adam Simon has "become one of the most oft-cited figures in contemporary Hollywood satire, and those in the know have begun to play the game of Simon-spotting. [...] Remarkable look- and act-alikes for Adam Simon have appeared in a couple of sinister Hollywood satires: Adam Rafkin (Jarrad Paul) on the cancelled-too-soon TV series Action, who ruins his emotional and physical health on successive drafts of Beverly Hills Gun Club for sleazy überproducer Peter Dragon (Jay Mohr); and Adam Kesher (Justin Theroux) in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, who finds his entire life - and film project - jeopardised when he considers going against the wishes of backers who represent either organised crime or Hell." more…
