those Wall Street guys,

even Martinez would

get in on this.

We're talking

real money.

No, you're talking

about money.

No, come on, Shawn.

What do you think, there's a

trophy involved in all of this?

Nobody cares about it.

And if we lose, you know we get

nothing. You get that, right?

What? Come on, Shawn.

Look, all right, look...

You think I don't

understand that I'm nothing?

I'm nothing, I get it.

I ain't worth nothing.

Nobody said anything like

that. I mean, come on.

All I'm saying is that

I don't want to lose.

That's all I'm saying

is I don't want to lose.

I'm telling you, Shawn...

Look, I know it sounds

stupid to you.

It's stupid.

But that's what I...

I don't want to do it,

so I won't. Okay?

Cut all that stuff,

man, listen to me.

I mean it.

Listen, listen.

I'm talking to you.

Harvey.

What, you gonna hit me?

No, I'm not gonna

hit you... I'm sorry.

You think I'm your

father?

You're going to slap me around

like I'm your father, huh?

Okay, okay, I get it.

You think I don't know

who you are, Shawn.

What?

I know all about you.

I said, can the moral

garbage with me, Shawn.

It don't work here.

Harvey, you don't ever

talk about my father, okay?

You gonna hit me?

You don't ever

talk about my father.

Hey.

So you came back.

You know me, the stalker.

You caught me

taking a shower.

So, what are you

doing here?

Nothing, I was just... I don't

know, just kinda wanted to see you.

Okay, well, come in.

My grandmother has

Lila, so, come in.

I know it's really

hot in here, so,

if you want, just grab a

seat and I'll be right back.

Hey, listen.

Look, I made some money

and I kinda wanted to help

you with the notice that I saw

on the door the other day.

That's really... No...

That's sweet, but...

No. For Lila.

No, I don't need it.

Listen, hold on, hold on.

Just for Lila.

Hold on a second. Just,

please, just listen.

I don't know what

I'm trying to say...

The last thing I want

to do is upset you.

All I want...

You came in here

offering me money.

Just don't...

It's no big deal, okay?

I don't know how to...

What?

Your hair smells good.

Thank you.

You know, when you wash

your hair in the sink,

they call it

a Puerto Rican shower.

My grandfather used to hate

when people called it that.

Of course, he can say it.

I like this,

this is nice.

I know what

happened with your dad.

Oh.

Is that okay?

I read... Me and Lila

were on the computer,

and we just kinda

stumbled across...

Wow...

I'm sorry...

No... Checking up on me?

That's all right.

It's okay?

Yeah.

So you think

I'm crazy now?

No.

Well, I mean...

You'd be right.

I mean, I did. I went

a little crazy, so...

You know that guy Evan,

the other night,

at the club, you know,

after the whole thing?

Yeah.

We were on the same team

and my dad coached us.

Man, he loved Evan.

I was a freshman, and they

always used to mess with me.

And I just couldn't take it

no more. I kind of lost it.

And me and Evan went at it.

And my dad got between us

and I didn't even

see him, you know.

I just kinda...

I hit him.

I hit my father.

And I just didn't stop.

You know?

I just couldn't stop.

My father never forgave

me. 'Cause he shouldn't.

I got to go get that.

Okay, I have

to get going

because I have to go do something

at the club, I realized. I'm sorry.

I have to go and do

something at the club

that I completely

forgot about. So...

Okay...

Please hurry up.

I'll walk you.

I'm hurrying.

We do have to go.

I'm sorry, I just...

Okay. I heard you the first

time, I'm going, I'm going.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I just forgot I had to

go get this stuff done.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, why?

Just wondering.

You're good?

Yeah.

Hey, Harvey.

Wait. What?

What's going on here?

Um...

I was going to tell

you, I know Harvey.

Wait, hold on. You all know each other?

Yeah, I know her.

I know her.

Listen...

Wait, how do you know...

I mean, how do you

know each other?

What's going on, 'cause, are

you together or something?

No.

Listen, Shawn...

No, no, no...

I'm talking to her...

I'm talking...

No, no, let me... I just

want to hear it from her.

Let me talk

to you, okay?

What did I say? I said

I'm talking... What now?

Shawn...

I want to talk to her.

I'm talking to you.

I want to talk to her!

Get your hands off me!

Shut up!

Get your hands off of

me! Get out of my head!

Look, everything

isn't what you think.

You're not the only one

that worked with me.

She works with me, too.

It's what I was explaining

at the apartment.

Nobody knows we know each

other. She places bets for me.

Okay, that's

what it is.

I was going to

tell you, Shawn.

You asked about my...

You asked about my father.

Shawn...

Why would you do that?

You better learn

to answer your phone.

Why didn't you answer?

That's all you had to do.

Why did you call?

Why didn't you text me

and say something?

Listen, Harvey and I have been

friends for a really long time.

Listen to me. I should

have told you, I know that.

I don't know what I

might say to you, okay.

Wait. Just listen

to me, okay?

Look, I make $11

an hour, okay?

Is that what you

want to know?

I make $11 an hour,

I'm broke.

I pick up glasses from people

that I hate all night long,

and I'm not really supposed

to be doing this right now.

Why didn't you

just tell me that?

Because.

Harvey... We're just friends.

He just gives me this money,

and I just go place bets for him

and that's all there is to it.

Nobody even knows that

we know each other.

Then why couldn't you

just say that to me?

Is this thing still on?

Listen, man...

Yeah, I understand.

Throw it. No one will

ever know the better.

And you're going to tell me

you're okay with that, huh?

Yeah.

Whatever you raise,

I want half.

We ain't talking about

anything here, you know.

No, forget it, then.

Okay.

Just like that,

though, huh?

Yeah. Just like that.

All right.

Then, you know once

you get out there,

all those eyes are

going to be on you.

And if there's even a hint that

you're throwing this thing...

And that's

both of us dead.

You understand

how much money they...

They don't scare me, Harvey.

This city doesn't scare me.

I'm gonna do what you want. And

you're never going to see me again.

None of you.

This isn't tickets,

Harvey.

You understand there's

$250,000 in this bag.

And, Harvey, don't make

us come looking for you.

Nice office, Harvey.

Glad you could

make it.

Yeah, you should

get a receptionist.

Is he going to listen

to you, Harvey?

If you don't believe me, he's right

out there, you can ask him yourself.

I'm asking you,

Harvey.

There's $250,000

in here.

And if he decides

he don't like losing,

and by some miracle he wins,

I still want my money, Harvey.

I don't get my money,

Harvey, I'll kill you.

Lot of money.

Come on in.

Zulay, did you have

another dream?

It's a lot of money,

Jack.

Oh, yeah?

How much are we

talking about?
