for a job, he, uh...

He's just, uh...

He's just in from...

From outta town.

- I'm Donald's boss. Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

What are you,

f***ing high? What is this?

He's, uh... he got... He's kind of in a

little bit of a tough spot right now, so...

I feel like I need to just,

kinda, like, help him out a bit.

Yeah, so?

I just haven't seen him

in a while, and it's...

It would kind of

be tough if I...

I don't give a sh*t!

Had to work when he was here...

- Donald, seriously, I can just go.

- No, no, no, no, no.

Are you working? Yes or no?

That's all I want

to know. Yes or no?

I could call Julio.

I'm not asking you

to call f***ing Julio.

You're supposed to be

working right now!

- I can work tonight, I can do it tonight.

- So it's a no.

Basically you said

you're not working right now.

You just came in here...

I'm telling you, I can just go.

It's fine, okay?

This is what he does to me.

He embarrasses me.

He embarrasses me!

He makes up his own rules.

He thinks that nothing applies to him, that

he can come and go as he f***ing pleases!

You want the day off?

Uh, I would.

I'd appreciate it,

- and I also...

- Do you want it?

Yeah. And if I could

get my check...

You want the day off,

and you want your check too.

You want the money, but you

don't want to work for it!

There's something

you can do for me though.

Yeah, what?

Like, what do you need?

- You want the day off, right?

- Yeah, that'd be f***ing cool.

You can f***ing blow me!

You can f***ing blow me now!

That's what you can f***ing do!

Blow me right now!

- F***ing blow me! Yeah!

- Stop!

Yeah, you can

f***ing suck my dick!

Let go of me!

F***ing suck my dick!

That's what you can f***ing do!

- F*** you! Get off.

- Suck it off!

- Get off me, f*** you!

- Yeah, suck it!

- F***ing suck it, right now!

- Get off!

- F***ing taking days off!

- Get off!

F***!

It's not funny, is it, huh?

Yeah.

- F***ing happy now, huh?

- Oh, f*** you!

F***ing late half the time.

- Here, that's a day's pay.

- Thank you.

"Thank you."

You're gonna f***ing

skip next week too?

No, I'll be in tomorrow.

- Yeah, get your f***ing cookies.

F*** you. -Oh, f*** off.

Are you all right, man?

What, about in there?

Yeah.

Oh, man, that's just

us f***ing around.

Donald, that's

completely inappropriate.

I mean, no one does that.

That's ridiculous.

No, man, that was fun!

I had f***ing fun, dude.

That guy is a f***ing a**hole.

You should not be working here.

- It's that simple.

- I know it seems like that,

but it's just sh*t that we do.

Me and him do.

No, you just let yourself get

disrespected, dude. This is ridiculous.

It's just two guys pushing

each other's buttons!

I like sh*t like that!

You know that.

Man, I f***ing live for

that type of stuff.

You just don't know us.

You just saw a side of us.

I f***ing live for that

type of play. You know that.

Hey, don, I really

appreciate this, man.

Yeah, how much do you need?

Would 100 be cool?

Oh, you need that much?

Uh...

You know, whatever you got.

- Well, I got 83 right here.

- Okay.

Yeah, that's perfect. Yeah...

Uh, but, I'm...

I'm just thinking about it,

it's like,

I do actually owe somebody

80 dollars already.

And maybe I should

just talk to him first.

I'm gonna get back to the city,

I'm gonna write you a check.

But I'm thinking, you know what,

here, take three right now.

And don't worry about that. Take the

three, and then we'll talk to him.

And I'm sure he's gonna let me slide, but

I just have to do it out of respect.

So, here, take the three now...

And then we'll get this

other 80 cleared, okay?

It's just what I have to do,

Pete, you know...

This guy let me borrow some money,

I gotta at least respect him.

And we'll clear it with him.

He's gonna be f***ing

totally cool with it, but...

It's just how

we work around here.

It's a respect thing.

All right.

I can't...

This is why I don't come to this one,

because this f***ing parking lot sucks.

Uh-huh.

It's too tight.

And you know when they plow...

These are all usually spots.

But when they plow, they have nowhere

else to go with it so they block 'em.

Hey, get out from under

there, what are you doing?

Don't eat that!

Disgusting!

So you're looking at

20 bucks for five pills,

so if you want ten you do 40, right?

Do me a 40.

All right, give me, uh,

give me the muscle relaxants.

- You want the muscle relaxants?

- Yeah, those didn't agree with me

the last time I took them.

Don't take too many. 40 bucks.

All right, man.

I know how to do it.

He's cool, man,

don't worry about it.

He doesn't look cool.

No, he's fine, man.

I'm gonna f***ing take

one of these right now.

Do you want one?

No, I'm good.

My treat.

No, no, I already took one, man.

Don't take too many of those.

What are you guys up to right now?

You want to get gaming?

Yeah. I'll throw it around.

Why? You down?

Here's the deal, just f***ing

stare at him, all right?

Just lock him down.

What's up, are we all set?

No, we're in a little bit

of trouble.

It appears that Dwayne

is running things right now.

What the f*** does that mean?

It means that he's not prepared

to let me slide with the money

unless we play football.

Then tell him no,

I'm not playing football.

I'm not f***ing telling him no.

- He's crazy.

- Donald, come on.

This dude is f***ing crazy.

F***ing no.

These guys are from vets.

They went to vets.

They play by different rules.

I'm telling you, if you wanna

get out of here and not pay,

we are gonna have

to f***ing throw down.

Donald, Jesus, f***ing,

come on, man.

Oh, let's go!

You playing or what?

It's up to you. It's a pay

or play situation.

This is f***ing ridiculous!

He's gonna wanna throw down.

All right, let's just

f***ing do it then.

- All right.

- One touchdown.

Let's just go, let's just get this done.

Ridiculous.

All right, let's go, he's in!

I want to set it up so that me

and him are on opposite teams.

Yeah!

F***, yeah!

F***, yeah!

He's on the one yard line.

That's a first down.

That's a first down, Donald.

Yeah!

See that?

Come on. Let's go.

Let's do this.

Shuffle!

Yeah! Yeah!

- Yeah!

- All right, aargh!

Time out.

Time out.

Why, why?

I don't know, I just...

I feel like the painkillers

are starting to set in.

Come on, Donald, let's go!

They'll come up, take the right

and come back down.

Hut!

One, one thousand,

two, one thousand...

Oh, f***.

Here, go!

Ow.

Yeah!

- All right. All right.

- Oh, f***...

Yeah, boy!

- That's it.

- Yeah, son.

It's not like

it used to be, right?

It's not like it used to be.

F***.

- All right.

- F***, yeah!

I think that's it.

That's it for me.

Is that it?

Are you done?

Yeah, let's go.

- Good game, guys.

- Are you serious?

Let's go, Donald.

You know what I would

change about myself?

You know what the one thing would

be I had to change about myself?

What's that, Donald?

My competitiveness.
