How you doing?

She's cute, yo.

I like that.

You're cute, why you got a mad face?

Put a smile on your

face. Not my fault.

I wonder why I don't come

to the Bronx that often.

You know this

kid, right?

Yeah, man,

he's a big dude.

Don't get too close.

Yeah, thanks for that.

There you go,

there comes the king.

Yeah. Get a good

look at that, all.

Bring out the cash, papa.

Bring out the cash.

Do it.

Whoop his ass.

Come on.

Come on, Shawn.

Move, Shawn! Move, Shawn!

Stick and move!

Work it! That's what

I'm talking about!

Ah! My throat!

Come on, Shawn.

Shawn! Shawn!

No, no! No, Shawn! Shawn!

What are you doing?

He knocked my sh*t over!

My ear!

Hey, what are you doing?

We don't want no trouble!

We don't want no trouble!

Hey, come on, move!

We don't want no trouble!

I don't want no trouble!

I swear to God,

I don't want no trouble!

Come on, open the door!

Push gas!

Yo, my ear, man!

He's okay, right?

Yeah, his ear's a little

messed up, but he's all right.

He didn't... Did he

say it was a dog?

You know, he didn't fill out

no police report or nothing?

A dog?

Yeah, a dog.

Can you call him?

Yeah. Nobody's

getting paid.

I'm going inside.

You should put some ice on that hand.

Gotcha.

It was a good

fight, man.

Thanks, man.

Hey.

All right.

We really ain't

getting paid?

We ain't getting

nothing

'cause of them damn

maniacs in the Bronx.

I really need money,

you know.

Really.

Look, I'm gonna work

something out, okay?

Okay.

I'm late every day

for work.

It doesn't matter.

Go, do your job.

I will, and the last

time, it wasn't done.

Please, let me do the job. Okay.

Lila, you're going to be good,

okay? Remember what I told you.

Abuela, I know,

I'm just telling you.

I'm telling you,

I'm reminding you

because you forget a lot

of things, you know?

Take it easy, young lady.

Let me go.

Out? Okay, out.

Let me go.

You relax.

Are you sure you know

how to get home safely?

You make me excited.

I know how to drive

better than you,

you know that.

Okay. Bye.

You know better.

Oh, my goodness,

what kind of lady?

Be good, Lila.

Oh, my God.

Huh?

It's a funny thing, us

keeping meeting like this.

Are you going

into work now?

Yeah. What are

you doing here?

I was just walking by, for the past

two hours, hoping you'd show up.

Oh, stalking? Okay.

No, I just wanted to see

if you wanted to come

get something

to eat with me.

I have to work.

I have 20 minutes.

Just like...

Twenty minutes? You're the

first one here anyway, come on.

Remember, I've been here for

a while. So you want to go?

Yeah? I have to be back, though,

'cause I work here. I'll

get you back, come on.

Twenty minutes.

Twenty minutes.

Like, you don't have to

go if you don't want to go.

Twenty minutes.

Okay, let's go.

Twenty minutes.

If my boss calls me,

I have to go.

Okay, let's go.

Thank you.

Here, let me get that for you. Oh, okay.

I'll get you some sparkling water, okay?

Okay, thanks.

Is that good?

Yeah, yeah.

No, that's good.

So, is this

okay for you?

No, this is good, this

is good. This is...

It's good? Okay.

I'm trying to figure out

what I'm gonna eat.

I think I'm just gonna

have a calamari.

Okay.

By:
BackFire

You know,

I ain't that hungry.

WAITRESS:
All right.

You're not hungry?

No, not really. Thank

you, though. I'm good.

So, that little girl in the

car, that was your daughter?

Yeah.

She seems sweet. I saw the

way she was looking at you.

Yeah, she's sweet.

What? I'm sorry.

There's a big pink thing

coming down the road.

Yes.

That's pink bunny man.

You think that's funny?

Wow. That's a lot of

bunnies right there.

You want one of them things? No.

You know, I'm gonna go get

you one, hold on a sec.

No. He's really

gonna go get one.

Excuse me, sir.

Can I get one

of these bunnies?

Yeah, right on, my man.

How much are they?

$5.

$5? Here you go. Thank

you very much, sir.

You have a good day, okay?

You too.

Excuse me.

Pink bunny.

Thank you.

You didn't want

that thing, did you?

My daughter's

going to love this.

She thinks the guy's from

outer space or something.

So what's her name?

Lila.

Lila?

That's a good name.

Oh!

That must be my boss.

I can't stay. I can't be

late for work again, so...

Well, you just ordered.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm

just late. No, no, no, no.

This is our date.

This is our date.

Don't even worry about it,

I'll wait for the check.

Date?

Yeah, it's a date.

Date, okay.

All right, well...

Yeah, get out of here.

Don't be late.

See you later.

Okay. You're in

a rush always.

Sorry, I know.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Harv.

What the hell is

wrong with you?

What is this?

What happened to the

whole, I don't know,

"be ready for business,

business ready" thing, huh?

When I'm not being chased

out of the damn Bronx

trying to hustle up you some

money, I'll be a little more alert.

That ain't my fault.

In fact, they actually want you

for another fight this Friday.

Are you up for that?

Yeah. How'd you do that?

Well, I told you, I got

my connections, you know.

It wasn't easy either.

How much this time?

Well, that's what I want

to talk to you about,

but give me a second, I

need to put my clothes on.

It's about this guy you're

about to go up against.

You know, I know you're a

tough guy and everything, Shawn,

but you're not

going to beat him.

But he's gonna... Come

on, I can handle myself.

I know you can, that's why,

when he puts you

in the choke move,

you're gonna go to

sleep, it's that easy.

What are you saying?

I think you know

what I'm saying.

No, I don't know what

you're saying.

Sounds like you're saying

you want me to throw it.

Well, whatever you want

to call it, you know?

We're gonna make some money,

not like up in the Bronx.

You're complaining about

that whole thing, right?

No, I'm not losing.

I know you're

not gonna lose,

you're gonna do what

I'm telling you to do.

I appreciate everything

you did for me.

But, you know, the only way I'm

going to lose is if somebody beats me.

Okay, then, whatever,

let him beat you.

I'm serious.

Martinez came up

to me, he said,

"You know, hey, if you go around

with me, that's fine, man."

I don't know.

What?

You and Martinez what?

What do you mean, "what"?

I want to hear why, you

know, you said, "Martinez..."

I didn't say I was

gonna do anything.

No, I want to know what

you're gonna do, 'cause...

I mean, here I'm trying to talk

to you about making you some money,

and, you know, nobody made

anything up in the Bronx, right?

You know that.

I know that. I understand. I know.

And you're gonna threaten me now, right?

What? I'm not

threatening you.

You're not threatening me? I

take you off of a park bench,

and you're going to

threaten me in my house?

Harvey, I ain't

threatening you.

No, I know you're

not threatening me,

'cause you know why?

'Cause you're gonna get

out of my house now, Shawn.

Look, hold on.
