and she envied him

'cause he was, like,

the only acoustic guy who

penetrated the Seattle scene.

And this was the time with nirvana

and Alice in chains and whatnot.

So what kind of music you like?

I don't.

Don't like any?

No.

I was around a lot of rap music

for a while.

I think it made me

hate all music, period.

Hmm.

So, like...

Where do you like to go?

What do you mean?

I mean, I'm just saying,

you said you don't really like Cleveland,

so, like, where do you

like to go hang out

where you, like, have fun?

I don't hang out to have fun.

All right, I mean, like...

What are your friends like?

Yeah, I don't have f***in' friends.

I mean, what the f*** is this?

What?

The 20 f***in' questions.

I mean, you know what's up.

- Excuse me?

You know, I mean...

You knew I was in prison.

Uh, no, you didn't tell me that.

Yeah, but you f***in' knew

from when we were in the bar.

And I said it'd be a bad move for

me to hit the f***in' bartender.

I said, "it would be

a bad choice for me."

And you had this

f***in' look in your eye like,

"yeah, I know what the f***

you're talkin' about, dude."

No, I didn't, i don't know what

the f*** you're talking about.

The motherfuck you don't!

F***!

Hey, hey, wait a minute,

hold up, hold up.

Jill.

- I gotta go.

Jill, Jill.

- I gotta go.

Look, look, look,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Please take your hand off of me.

All right, hey.

Look, I'm just upset.

I'm on edge,

I've been gone for long.

People always ask me,

"do you know this, do you know that?"

The truth of the f***in'

matter is I don't know f***in' anything.

I been locked up in a f***in'

garbage can for years.

No, i- I understand that,

i get that.

Look, look, look,

i don't wanna seem crazy.

No, I didn't say you were crazy.

Listen, please.

I'm not a violent person.

No, I understand that, I know.

I just-

I don't feel safe right now.

And I don't feel safe

and I have to leave now.

Let's do this again real soon.

Well, hey, I enjoyed the sh*t

out of certain things.

I wanna just honestly express

my gratitude to you, Troy,

for hookin' this little

adventure up.

Oh, boy, the butterin'

up's underway

to hit you up to loan him some

money to buy somethin', Troy.

I'm just sayin' I'm thankful.

I bought that girl a

black tourmaline bracelet,

and now that sh*t's on ebay.

I told ya not to fall in love.

A f***ing plus.

I'm gonna get us some

real work, gents.

We need a big job,

a grown-up job.

Let's do that.

- All right.

You know what I f***in' love?

Check it out.

You cats not freakin'

out about this?

I been out longer than you guys and

I'm still freakin' out about it.

What? What is it?

Carpeting.

You know how much bare feet,

if you had that privilege

in your cell,

and they didn't notice you wasn't

wearing your shower flip-flops

in your downtime,

all you felt was that cold concrete

with boogers and jizz on it.

This is like...

Dig it, man. Come on, man.

This is sweet. This is like...

Like... soft, shaved p*ssy.

You have been

locked up a long time.

You know what I mean.

Nah, I'll get us

a real good gig.

I'll get us such a good gig,

take your tits off!

So lemme ask you something.

Do you think I look like

Humphrey bogart?

No.

Well, you see, that's interesting,

because I'm a big film buff.

Bogart was the best, the king.

When I was in the joint,

there was a movie producer

who was in there with me,

and i- I says to him,

I says, "do you think

i look like Humphrey bogart?"

And he says, "well, yeah, ya do,

but a stretched-out version of him."

That's a fantastic story.

So where are your boys?

I don't bring 'em

to stuff like this.

No?

- Nah,

they just know

what they need to know.

Okay.

Shall we order a bottle of wine?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That sounds good.

So, grecco tells me

you're a heavy guy.

I'm not referring

to your weight.

I mean that, apparently,

you are a gentleman

of some power and influence.

Yeah, well, I try my best. It

is a shitty economy out there,

so we all gotta work overtime

all the time.

I heard that.

Right.

What's good?

Oh, they have-

Get the rare steak

with the cottage fries,

that's the only thing.

You do the honors?

Yeah.

So this guy, Mike Brennan,

this creep,

this deadbeat

that owes me a lot of money,

the way I see it,

he is so f***ed up,

he ain't never gonna be able

to get it back on his own.

So he needs some incentivizing

to go out, to get up.

A real scumbag.

Yeah, he's one of those

f***-you-come-and-get-it guys.

Probably all hopped up on blow,

the way he's actin'.

So the bottom line is,

chepe has been patient.

Yes, I have.

Time's up.

I need to get four mil from him.

Okay.

Good.

He's got a one-year-old

out in the heights.

I need you to snatch him.

Kidnapping.

I don't dig the sound of this.

Plus, there hasn't been an

unsolved kidnapping-for-ransom

in the United States

in a long time.

I mean, granted,

this was different,

'cause ain't nobody

gonna report this one.

Okay, so how would this work?

T'll work because I guarantee

you a half a million,

plus half of whatever

Brennan pays, if he pays at all.

I don't know, man, nabbin' a kid

is a dangerous business.

People don't look

too kindly on it.

All right, take it easy.

I ain't into abusin' children,

you dig?

Kid's still a baby,

he ain't ever gonna know.

If he was four or somethin',

I'd never be doin' that.

He wouldn't do that.

Ain't nobody gonna be home.

Just the girlfriend,

the nanny, and the baby.

It'll go quick, Troy.

Look, what if I give you 500,000

plus a $250,000 bump?

Hey, man, you keep throwin'

around numbers like 500,000 here,

250,000 there,

pretty soon, we'll be

talkin' about real money.

Real money.

- Real money.

You a wine connoisseur,

Mr. chepe?

Oh, yes, of course.

Let's try a burgundy, man,

it brings out...

Dog!

You know I'm down for whatever.

Dog!

Come on, let's grab him.

Dog, dog.

Not to be rude, but can you

give the old man a break?

It's important.

I'll be back.

You can do a couple of those.

I'll be back.

Fall in love?

Sure enough.

She really gets

me going, I tell ya.

She's somethin',

but I can't really figure out what she is.

I mean-

She looks puerto rican.

Well, she doesn't taste

puerto rican, I'll tell ya,

she's somethin' else, man.

I don't know, she said somethin'

like she's an Indian,

or somethin' like that,

you know.

All right,

this is the game plan.

The way I see it,

we can keep doin' this nickel and dime sh*t,

maybe get away with a bit of it,

then eventually get

caught or clipped.

I don't see that your number

don't come up forever.

Or grecco has a big job for us,

as in $750,000.

Ooh.

- Sh*t!

It's a f***ing baby-napping.

- That don't sound too good.

It's not,

and I'm not sayin' it is.

But my feeling is,

where we stand right now,

the small job thing

isn't gonna cut it.

I'm talking $500,000

with a $250,000 kicker,
