Edmond
Good night, Carrie.
- Have a good weekend.
- Bye.
Oh, Mr. Burke.
Your meeting on Monday
with Mr. Harrington
has been pushed back
to 1:
15.Have a nice weekend.
You are not
where you belong.
- The girl broke the lamp.
- Which lamp?
- The antique lamp.
- In my room?
- Yes.
- Hmm.
That lamp cost
over $220.
Well, maybe we can
get it fixed.
We're never gonna get it fixed.
I think that that's the point.
I think that's why
she did it.
Yes.
All right.
I'm going.
Will you bring me
back some cigarettes?
- I'm not coming back.
- What?
- I'm not coming back.
- What do you mean?
I'm going, and I'm not
going to come back.
- You're not ever coming back?
- No.
Why not?
I don't want to live
this kind of life.
- What does that mean?
- That I can't live this life.
- You can't live this life?
- Yes.
So you're
leaving me?
Yes.
Ah.
Ah, ah.
Then what about me?
Don't you love me anymore?
- No.
- You don't?
- No.
- And why is that?
I don't know.
And when did you
find this out?
- A long time ago.
- You did?
- Yes.
- How long ago?
Years ago.
You've known for years
that you don't love me?
Yes.
Oh.
Then why do you decide
you're leaving me now?
I've had enough.
Yes, but why now?
Because you don't interest me,
spiritually or sexually.
Hadn't you known this
for some time?
- Why do you think?
- I think that you did.
- Yes, I did.
- Then why didn't you leave then?
Why didn't you leave then,
you stupid sh*t?
you've been living here, huh?
You idiot!
I've had enough!
You idiot!
Passing judgment on me all this time!
- And then you tell me you're leaving!
- Yes.
- Go, then.
- I'll call ya.
- Please! And we'll talk.
What should we do with the house,
cut it in half? Go, get out of here, go!
- You think I'm fooling.
- I do not.
Goodbye.
Thank you. Goodbye!
Get out!
Get out of here!
And don't you ever come back,
do you hear me?
I'll tell you
who's got it easy.
Who?
The n*ggers.
Sometimes I wish
I was a n*gger.
Sometimes I wish
I was too.
I'd rob a store.
I don't blame 'em, I swear to God.
Because I want to
tell ya,
we're bred to do
the things that we do.
- Yes.
- Northern race, one thing,
southern race...
somethin' else.
And what
they want to do
is sit under the tree
and watch the elephant.
And I don't blame them
one small bit.
Because there's too much
pressure on us.
Yes.
And that's no joke, and that's not
poetry. It's just too much.
It is.
It absolutely is.
- A man has got to get out.
- What do you mean?
A man has got to get
away from himself.
That's true.
Hey, baby.
Because the pressure
is too much.
What do you do?
What do you mean?
What do you do
to get out?
- What do I do?
- Yeah.
What are
the things to do?
What are the things
anyone does?
P*ssy?
I don't know. P*ssy.
Power. Money.
Adventure.
I think that's it.
Self-destruction.
I think that
that's it.
- Don't you?
- Yes.
Religion.
Um, I suppose
that's it.
Release.
Gratification.
You gotta get out, get something
that opens your nose.
Life is too short.
My wife and I
are incompatible.
I'm sorry to hear that.
In what way?
- I don't find her attractive.
- Mm.
- And she hates my guts.
- Mmm.
It's a boring thing to talk about,
but that's what's on my mind.
- I understand.
- You do?
- Yes.
- Thank you.
Believe me,
it's all right.
I know that
we all need it,
we don't know where to find it,
and I know what it means,
and I understand.
- I... feel...
- I know, like your balls were cut off.
Yes. A long
long time ago.
Mm-hmm.
And I don't
feel like a man.
- You know what you need?
- No.
You need to get laid.
I do.
I know I do.
And that's why
the n*ggers have it easy.
I'll tell you why.
There are responsibilities
they never have accepted.
Try the Allegro.
What is that?
It's a club
on 47th Street.
I want this
to be on me.
I want you to remember
there was someone
who listened.
You'd do
the same for me.
Want to buy me
a drink?
Yes.
I'm putting myself
at your mercy.
This is my first time
in a place like this.
I don't want to be taken advantage of.
You understand?
Buy me a drink,
and we'll go in the back.
And do what?
Whatever you want.
$50.
Buy me a drink.
- You... get a commission on the drinks?
- Yes.
- How much commission do you get?
- 50%.
That's $100.
It's too much.
What?
Too much.
Thank you.
- 80.
- No, thank you.
- 80.
- I'll give you 50.
I'll give you the 50 you'd get
if I gave her 100 for the drink.
But I'm not gonna
give them 100.
- But you have to buy me a drink.
- No, I'm sorry.
All right,
give me 30.
- On top of the 50?
- Yeah, you give me 80.
- To you?
- Yes.
- I should give the 80 to you?
- Yes.
And then you give
her the 50?
Yes, I got to
give her the 50.
- No.
- For the drink.
No, you don't have to
pay her for the drink... tea.
- It's not tea.
- It's not tea?
If it's not tea,
what is it then?
I came in here to be
straight with you!
Why do we have to
go through this?
Get in
or get out.
Don't mill around.
Get in or get out.
Seven.
Go in seven.
Oh, no. Six...
I mean, six.
Go in six.
Take your dick out.
Take your dick out.
Come on.
Take your dick out.
- I'm not a cop.
- I know you're not a cop.
Take your dick out.
I'm gonna give you a good time.
How do we get this
barrier to come down?
It doesn't come down.
Then how are you gonna
give me a good time?
Come here.
Give me 10 bucks.
Give me 10 bucks.
Put it through
the thing.
Put it
through the thing.
I... don't have
Yes.
Give me the 20.
And you're gonna
make change?
Yes, just give me the 20.
Give it to me.
Good.
Now take your dick out.
Can... can I
have my 10?
Give me my 10 back.
Come on!
Give me my 10 bucks.
- Let me hold the 10.
- Give me my 10 back,
and I'll give you
a tip when you're done.
- Thank you.
- Now, take your dick out!
How do we get this thing
to come down?
It doesn't come down.
- It doesn't come down?
- No!
Well, then what the f***
Look, you can touch me.
You can touch me.
I don't want to touch you.
I want you to touch me!
Come on!
Honey, come on.
You're only
cheating yourself.

Put the money up.
You can't win if you don't play.
- Come on, man.

He's a shill.

- You want to know how to beat the game?
- How?

They're all shills.
They're all part of an act.
