to say bye, please.

Oh, my goodness, you give

me so much trouble today.

I'm sorry.

She could have come a little

bit later, that's for sure.

That would have

been nice.

Totally. I know.

Okay, so...

Okay.

Good night, yeah...

So I'm going to

see you again?

Yeah.

Yeah. When?

You sleeping?

Who can sleep with all

that banging up there?

Told you we'd win, huh?

Did you get our money?

Right at it, huh?

Yes, sir.

Look, I know we already had a

fight, but any word on another one?

I just want to make sure

we're capitalizing

on everything we got

going on here.

I told you, if you like,

anything I got,

the tickets, the hats,

the sneakers,

you can sell those until

I get you another fight,

if that's what

you want to do.

Go ahead,

turn around.

Huh?

You wanna get paid,

right?

Go ahead, man, get it,

I ain't gonna rob you.

I know you're not

gonna rob me,

'cause you're gonna

turn around.

After tonight,

you don't trust me?

Okay, fine.

I've turned around.

This is me,

all right?

I've turned around,

go ahead.

Thank you.

Mmm-hmm.

I've turned around, go.

I was with this girl

from the club tonight.

Keep looking and you're

going to be with her now.

You can turn around now.

Man, she got a daughter.

She's kind of having a little

trouble with the rent, I think.

I kinda wanted

to help her.

Stop smiling at me, I know

what you're going to say.

Yeah, I bet...

Why wouldn't I

help her, then?

Beyond the kid and

the need for money...

Why you gotta break

everything down?

That's your problem, man,

you don't trust nobody.

Here you go.

I'm never trusting you,

you and your suitcase.

My suitcase?

Yeah, your suitcase

don't trust nobody either.

There's $10,000 right here.

Yeah. Nice, isn't it?

I was right, wasn't I?

Look, I just...

We shouldn't be selling

tickets and sneakers no more.

I tell you, we gotta... This

is what we're doing right now.

So...

This girl. She works

over at the Marquee?

Yeah, Zulay.

Zulay. She's nice, man.

Zulay.

Yeah.

Okay.

You get some rest,

all right?

There's $10,000

right here.

Yeah. Get some rest,

all right?

Hey, you know

where Zulay is?

What do you want

to talk about?

Isn't there something

you should be telling me?

What are you talking

about, Harvey?

You're gonna

make me say it?

Why didn't you tell me that

you were sleeping with him?

Why couldn't

you tell me that?

'Cause I don't have to tell

you everything. That's why.

Now you want him

paying your bills?

I did not ask him

to pay my bills.

Are you kidding me?

You're bringing him around your

daughter, you like him like that?

What, you think he's

better than me, right?

No. That's...

You think you're

better than me,

that's why you fill his

head with all this garbage.

About riding off

into the sunset,

like this is a movie

or something, huh?

No, no, come here I'm talking

to you. Don't touch me.

I'm talking to you.

Don't touch me.

Stop it.

If he decides to up

and leave you tomorrow,

you think you're

part of his plans?

You think

your daughter is?

Maybe. What about your grandmother?

You're always so paranoid.

Yeah, that's what I am,

I'm paranoid. I'm paranoid.

You still believe

in fairy tales.

But you think

I'm paranoid, okay.

Does he know

how we met?

You in the back seat,

sleeping in your car,

with your daughter

in the front seat?

Is that something

to be paranoid about?

Okay.

You think that little thing

right here between your legs

is gonna make everything

okay, don't you?

That's what you think.

It isn't.

You use that on him.

Don't put no more

garbage in his head.

Yo, check this out, yo.

Check what out, this

dirty-ass crib you got?

There are bare wires

laying around, man.

Clean this sh*t up.

When was the last time

you cleaned this sh*t?

Shut up, bro, I'm about to kick you out.

Evan Hailey KO's Richards.

It's your man from the club.

This dude's corny.

No, check it. A dude like this

man, you got to take serious, man.

Yeah, look

how he punches.

He look like he's punching like a

girl, but those punches hurt, man.

It's your man, Shawn.

Who is that?

That's that dude

from the club, bro.

No, man, he's the real deal.

Yo, Shawn, no disrespect, man,

he's fighting for real

money in real venues.

Shawn over here

bullshitting with us.

Look at you, Harvey.

You know, you've been doing

that for some time now.

It's called bi-polar

or manic depressive.

What? What?

Oh, my God.

Harvey, come in. Come

in, sit down. Come in.

We were just talking about

you. Come in, come in.

Special occasion, you

got the suit broke out.

Nice suit.

Jacket, at least.

CHRISTOPHER:
That's nice.

Beautiful,

you're looking good.

MARTINEZ:
Not bad, Harvey.

Listen, I didn't

come here, you know,

to take up a whole

lot of your time.

I'm just here

to tell you

that if you've got

something for Shawn...

Look at little Harvey,

he's like a little kid.

He's very excited, like he

has a secret to share with us.

What's the secret,

Harvey?

I'm just saying, if you...

If you got something for us,

we're ready to go, you know.

He's the biggest draw

in this town,

and if you're ready for

something, we're ready for it.

Wow.

It must be very hard for you

to come in here and grovel

in front of all of us

here. Especially Martinez.

You know, Jack, I don't have to

stay here and take this from you.

Guess what, Harvey?

We were talking about

you and we said that

maybe we should put your

man in one of our fights.

A big fight. $100,000

to the winner, Harvey.

MARTINEZ:
Harvey's excited, huh, Harvey?

You excited, Harvey?

$100,000.

Evan Hailey's going to

rock your boy's world.

Time out. He couldn't

wait to tell you that one.

See, this is the way

it's going to be.

Evan Hailey versus

Shawn MacArthur.

And we're going to play

up this whole thing

about how they went

to the same school,

you know,

the education rivalry.

Rivalry for education.

Okay.

I know.

As soon as we

get the word out,

the phone's just going

to ring off the hook.

We'll let both

of you know.

Harvey, you sure you're

ready for this, Harvey?

Can't help but keep

calling my name, huh?

I don't know, Harvey,

maybe I'm stupid, you know?

But I'm not stupid enough to think

that Shawn's going to win this.

That's stupid, Harvey.

Yeah, really.

Really?

You just don't know how

good he is, you know?

Yeah, I do.

That's why I got Evan.

And the loser gets sh*t,

Harvey. And you still get sh*t.

Hey, man.

We need to take a walk

and talk for a second.

Okay.

So you gonna tell me?

Well, I got you

another fight.

Yeah? How much?

$100,000.

What?

Yeah.

They want us to fight

Evan Hailey.

He's your opponent.

Great.

I'm taking all my money and

I'm placing it against us.

You ain't got no money.

You have any idea

how much money

I can raise for

something like this?

Then raise it and

put it on us to win.

People like a guarantee,

Shawn.

Then guarantee it.

You saw Jerry,
