Yes!
Whoa!
You know what
your problem is?
You're always
talking about "X,"
but thinking
about "Y."
Learn to talk
about "Y."
Forget about "X."
"X" is going to take
care of itself.
What are you
talking about?
Hear yourself. Listen to
what you're really saying
and to what you
think you're saying.
When are you going to realize
nothing can be controlled?
We live in chaos,
a central issue
in everyone's life.
Mack, look around you.
Everyone in this parking lot
is struggling for control.
You know what it is
they're trying to control,
each and
every one of them?
Fear.
They're trying
Thanks for
the game, Davis.
You're my best friend.
This is important.
Let's talk tomorrow.
Good night, Mack.
Good night, Vanessa.
I have more to say
about this.
Vanessa, why is it
when someone's successful
in one field,
they think they know
about everything?
Drive carefully.

How was / to know
She was with

Dad,

Hyah
/'m the innocent

...should be heard

Missiles can accomplish
at a cheaper price
and greater accuracy
and fewer casualties
the mission, that, uh,
that a pilot was
supposed to carry out
and did in
previous wars.
And the Air Force is very
resistant to changing...
Dad should be home soon.
The game just ended.
I thought
you were studying
for your English exam.
I was. I had
the game on the radio.
Oh.
Oh, um, can you pick me up
tomorrow at, uh, 4:30?
4:
30,behind the school?
I thought you
were going to get
a ride occasionally.
I try. It's just hard
to arrange to leave
at exactly the same time
with someone.
It's just hard for me
to arrange my afternoon
around picking you up.
I'm working at the
senior center tomorrow.
If you can't do it,
I can try to find a ride.
It's kind of late,
but...
thanks.
Mom, I think you
need to get organized.
And I'm hiding
in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers,

What city, please?
Yeah, I need
road service
for, um, I don't know.
Let's say Inglewood.
Hello... God.
Damn!
Yeah, uh, Buckingham,
but remember it's
about a half mile, uh...
west, I guess, of there.
It should be about
a 45-minute wait.
Uh-huh. I understand,
but, see, uh,
if it takes that long,
I might be, like, dead.
You might call
the police.
The police.
Oh, sh*t. No, uh...
nothing's happened.
Just get the truck here
as fast as you can.
Will do, sir.
Mayday. Mayday.
We're going down.
Hey, man.
You need some
help here?
This a nice car,
mister.
This one of them
new Jap cars?
Yeah.
Yeah, you need help
or yeah, it's a Jap car?
Thanks. Uh, no.
I've already called
for the, uh, tow truck
and the police.
You called the police?
What?
On that phone, you
called all those people?
Who else you call,
your mama?
He been busy, man.
I see.
Nice car. I could use
a car with a phone.
Maybe you wants
a ride somewhere.
Want a jump start
or something?
How about a jump start?
Ooh, he nervous, y'all.
What you so nervous
about, man?
Maybe he carrying, Jim.
Maybe he's scared
we going to bust him.
Bust his ass.
Leave that
man alone!
O.K., Grandma.
Whatever, baby.
Why don't you get out
of the car, mister?
You want me to have
Jimmy take you out?
Or how about this...
Do you ever want to get
out of that car again?
Look, what do you want?
Do you want my wallet,
my watch?
It's a shitty watch.
You're welcome to it.
I want you
out of the car.
Let's get this sh*t
over with.
Now, motherf***er.
Which one of you
call for the truck?
Me. That was me.
Uh, this is it.
It just sort of died.
I'm the one
that called.
I guess
it was you, huh?
Yeah.
Hey, man, we was
doing fine here.
Uh, is it the battery?
Huh?
Were you stopped, and
it wouldn't start again?
Oh, no. L-It just
died on me.
We're going to have
to take it in.
You dissin' me, man?
You bet he is.
You seeing it now, man.
That's right.
That's what he's doing.
Is that right,
you dissin' me?
No, I'm not.
Nothing like it.
I'm doing a job. This
is how I make my living.
I just ride out there
and do the job.
I want it to go
as smooth as it can.
I don't like it to be
harder than it is.
Make sure you're
in neutral
and the parking brake
is off.
That's bullshit, man.
He talking bullshit.
What's goin' down?
This is f***ed up.
Get in the truck.
You'll ride up with me.
Are you the one
I'm talking to?
We all decide
what goes down,
so don't fly
that sh*t.
Yeah, man. F*** you!
Am I talking
to the right man?
That's what I thought.
Look, I got
to ask you a favor.
I got to ask you
to let me go my way here.
Now, this truck
is my responsibility.
Now that the car's
hooked up to it,
I'm responsible
for that, too.
Any sh*t comes down now,
it's my ass.
Follow me?
Do you think
I'm stupid?
Answer me that first.
Then we'll talk.
Look, I don't know
nothin' about you.
You don't know nothin'
about me.
I don't know if you're
stupid or some kinda genius,
but I do know this.
I got to get out of here,
and you got the gun.
So I'm asking you a favor
for the second time.
Let me go my way here.
that favor,
and I'm going to expect
you remember this
if we ever meet again.
Yeah.
But first,
you got to answer
one more thing for me,
and you got
to tell me the truth.
Are you
asking me a favor
as a sign of respect,
or are you
asking me a favor
'cause I got the gun?
Man, the world ain't
supposed to work like this.
Maybe you
don't know that,
but this ain't the way
it's supposed to be.
I'm supposed to be able
to do my job
without asking you
if I can.
That dude should is supposed
to be able to wait with his car
without you
ripping him off.
Everything's supposed to be
different than what it is.
So what's your answer?
You don't have the gun,
we ain't having
this conversation.
That's what I thought.
No gun, no respect.
That's why I always
got the gun.
Thanks.
You saved my ass.
We both got lucky.
It could have gone
different.
What's going on
in the world?
This neighborhood
has gone to sh*t.
This country
has gone to sh*t.
My sister and her kids
live near here.
That was a joke, Frasier.
Oh, / forgot
/ married a madcap.
Hey, uh, listen, folks.
Nobody's interested
in your motor trip.
We're talking about
my upcoming surgery.
Now, where was /?
