neighborhood, like he's running sh*t.

We were like that once.

We were coming up.

You used to say a lot of sh*t-

hotheaded and whatnot.

We all make mistakes. Right, Jimmy?.

You ain't gonna do that no more.

So what's up, Jimmy?.

We cool or what?.

You know what, Hec?.

We cool, man.

What were you thinking?.

You f***ing promised me

you wouldn't do anything!

You're f***ing overreacting!

Calm the f*** down!

Fuckyou, motherf***er!

Fuckyou!

I'm not overreacting,

you f***ing idiot!

I gave you the crew to run, not to

f***ing take them on a suicide mission.

F***ing kill yourself, but don't take

Jay and Chedda with you, you a**hole!

You f***in' trying to tell me

how to run my f***in' business?.

It's beyond that, man.

I gave you your f***in' business.

You were nothing before

I came into this sh*t!

What the f*** do you know?.

You ain't been around for months!

Come skippin' back

into the f***in' neighborhood.

It's supposed to be the same.

But you know what?.

This f***in' sh*t is different.

This whole f***in' thing is ours.

Jimmy, you're not listening.

You're not listening, man.

La Colombiana doesn't f***in' play.

She's gonna come after your ass.

La Colombiana.

I'll give her my f***ing balls.

Chedda, Jay, listen to me.

Listen to me. I'm telling you.

It's over for the man.

They're gonna kill him.

Do you understand?.

Ain't nobody touching

nothing over here.

Look. Let me tell you, Jimmy.

I'm not gonna give you a diaper buddy,

knee-high little speech over here.

We all we got. Understand?.

We been doing this sh*t.

Them motherfuckers is dead.

There's nothing gonna bring 'em back.

They got toe tags.

They outta here. It's done.

What needs to be known right now...

are you on this side over here,

or are you with them motherfuckers?.

- It's not that simple.

- It is that f***in' simple.

Remember when you fixed my VCR?.

You fixed it, I f***ed it up.

No matter how bad it got,

you fixed it, I f***ed it up.

You fixed it, I f***ed it up.

Fix this.

You think you f***ed me, right?.

You just to like to prove some sh*t...

that maybe you can't be told

what to do?.

But you f***ed yourself worse.

- Yeah. You know what I think?.

- What do you think?.

I think that's what you all about.

I think you don't give a f*** about

Jay, Chedda, me- nobody.

You know who you always

give a f*** about?.

Victor f***ing Rosa!

That's who you f***ing care about!

- Right.

- You don't give a f*** about us!

It's about money with you.

You know why?.

You go to the white neighborhood all

you want, but you'll always be a spick.

That's in your f***ing blood,

motherf***er.

Can you guarantee?. Can you guarantee

my blood's gonna stay in my body?.

Can you ever do that?.

- How's it going?

- What's up, man?.

I'm so glad you f***ing

called me back, man.

Yeah, of course.

What's going on?.

You don't know the half of it, dawg.

I don't know, it's-

- Oh, man. Things just got so f***ed up.

- What's so f***ed up?. What's going on?.

I don't know. I just-

Don't get me wrong, man,

but I just think-

I don't know. Maybe I'm a little-

Maybe this deal's too much for me.

- Maybe it's a little over my head.

- That's ridiculous.

Everything's going great, okay?.

- Things are looking really good.

- No, it's just-

You're gonna have

more than enough money.

They're really excited

about it out here.

They're all trashed

and asleep right now.

Its just that-

F***. I haven't seen Carmen in over

a week, man. I haven't talked to her.

She won't-

I am in this f***ing apartment all by

myself. I'm losing my f***ing mind.

- I'm flipping, you know?

- Listen to me.

Everything's gonna be fine

with Carmen. All right?.

Things are going crazy out here.

I'm working on your deal as we speak.

When she finds out how much money

you've got, she will chill out.

Everything will be okay.

Yeah. No doubt

it's gonna be fantastic, man.

It's gonna be the sh*t,

you know?.

Are you still in Hell-A?.

Yeah. I'm at this...

f***ing crazy place up in Malibu.

It's unbelievable. I'm out on the porch,

just soaking it up.

You know it, man.

We'll have so much money...

we won't know

what the f*** to do, right?

- Totally.

- Yeah.

It's a bet, man. We'll f***in'

tear this town up, all right?.

Man, we're gonna party

our f***in' brains out.

- But call me for sure, man.

- For sure.

All right. Later.

Hey, Trish?. Listen-

Honey, can I just

ask you a little thing?.

It is better to sit here,

be miserable, than to be with him?.

You know, honey, the a**hole is in

his apartment as miserable as you are.

If hes so f***ing miserable

he can call me and apologize.

Okay. This is it.

Honey.

If you decide to have this baby

with that a**hole...

go and have

the baby with him.

I'm behind you a hundred percent.

I'm your mother. Remember?.

If you want to have this baby

by yourself, I'm here for you.

Let's do that.

The only thing I cannot do is watch you

watching television.

Watching novelas

and doing nothing!

Hello?.

- Trish, what the hell you doing here?.

- God.

I have missed you.

Yeah. It's okay.

Place looks cute. Looks good.

- Yeah. How'd you get in?.

- I have my own set.

Do you have some wine

or something?.

- I'll see what I got.

- Thank you.

Vic, I was

in the neighborhood shopping...

and I thought I'd come by

and see how you are.

- This is all I got.

- Thank you.

- I'm gonna go upstairs and change.

- No, you're not.

- I'm not?.

- No.

You're not being a very good host,

leaving me here.

Yeah. I'm being a good host by just

going upstairs. I'm gonna change.

I don't give a f*** if you're wearing

a towel, if thats why you're worried.

I just wanna talk to you.

But I give a sh*t

that I'm wearing a towel.

Since when did you get uptight?.

Are you uptight now?.

Come here a second.

All right.

So what do you wanna talk about?.

I wanna talk about you.

I've never seen these before.

- Wow.

- Pretty ugly, huh?.

- I got a little reckless.

- A little reckless?.

- Yeah, well-

- Do they hurt?.

- When you poke 'em like that.

- Only when I poke 'em?.

So, how are you?.

I don't wanna talk about it.

Has Jack called you?.

No, he didn't call.

He's in Miami with his mom.

What do you mean,

he's in Miami?.

I thought he said

he was in LA.

You know what?.

I don't wanna talk about Jack.

- No, come on.

- I just wanna kiss you. Come on.

- I'm so lonely. Jacks gone, too.

- Come on. You know you're beautiful.

- Don't do this.

- Just a kiss.

- Come on. You promised.

- So I broke my promise.

That makes you a liar,

doesn't it?.

Aren't we all liars?.

Oh, God. Don't do this.

Don't do this. Come on.

Come on, no.

- Sh*t.

- What?.

F***in' turn around.

Oh, sh*t!

Carmen, baby.

I swear to God,

it's not what you think it is.

I just f***ing came

out of the shower.

I'm sorry, baby.

It's not what you think it is.

- I was taking a shower. She came in-

- Carmen, just-

God! Was that necessary?.

Just get the f*** out of here.
