ever since the chinks

And the f***ing "f" train

over there sucks.

What are you, a 10?

You look like you're about a 10.

There you go.

This is for you, sam.

Try them on.

Now?

Yeah, try them on.

Does your mom know

about the medicine, sam?

It's called ecstasy,

and it's illegal.

I mean, what's illegal?

In israel, advil's illegal.

The most important thing

you need to know, sam --

It's not addictive,

it's actually therapeutic.

It actually helps people

open up their emotions.

You know, yose told me

what a great job you did.

Go ahead.

Try them on.

Mr. Solomon,

I-I work with my father.

I know you work

with your father, sam,

But you have to

understand something.

We're talking about

a lot of money here.

I'm willing to offer you

$1,500 a trip

Plus I'll give you $200 for

every carrier you find me --

Plus all expenses paid.

Do they fit?

Yeah.

Good.

They look great.

You know,

I really like you, sam.

I like you, too,

mr. So-- jackie.

Always call me "jackie."

I will.

[ knock on door ]

One second.

Mendel:
Shmuel.

Come in.

[ sighs ]

Where were you?

I had a job interview.

Job?

What job interview?

No, don't worry.

It was with a very nice man.

He's israeli.

He imports all sorts of

pricy goods from europe.

No, no, no, no,

no, no, no.

You -- you work in the store.

You study.

I thought it would be a good

idea to make some extra gelt.

Why? Why? Why?

Why is it so important for you

with the whole money issue?

I did a good job.

Is there something

you want to tell me, shmuel?

You shouldn't

miss dinner.

[ bell dings ]

Sorry.

je t'aime

l

voici

viens ici

maintenant, maintenant

[ rachel giggles ]

Stop!

[ door opens ]

Sam!

[ singsong voice ]

I have something for you.

I want you to put it on.

It's italian.

Do you like

designer clothes?

Yes, yes. Thank you.

Also, give this to your mom

when you get home, okay?

Okay. What did you get

for yourself?

[ chuckles ]

come on, baby.

Is, uh --

is yosef coming back?

Jackie:
Don't worry about yosef.

Get dressed.

We're going out tonight.

We're in f***ing amsterdam.

You look good.

Thank you.

Are you nervous?

No.

[ clears throat ]

no.

Hey, what's up?

What are you doing?

Hi. How are you?

Nice to see you.

[ mid-tempo dance music plays ]

[ laughs ]

what are you doing?

What are you doing?

Come on.

Meet me in the bathroom,

girls.

Everything's upstairs.

[ tempo increases ]

[ woman vocalizing ]

I want to go back

to the apartment.

They're just having fun.

Take me

back to the apartment.

Well, I can't.

I'm supposed to

babysit you.

I can babysit myself,

thank you very much.

[ chuckles ]

you can't babysit yourself.

You know what?

You should go back inside.

You should

go have some more fun.

Sam, give me your f***ing coat.

I'm freezing.

Just give it to me, please.

I'm cold.

Ooh. That's soft.

[ shivers ]

How do you feel?

I feel fine.

You're acting very strange.

I feel amazing.

Oh, my god.

I think I see our apartment.

What? Where?

I do. I see it. I see it.

Come here.

You have to get really close

to see it, though.

Can you see it now?

No.

Jackie likes you.

Where's the apartment?

He really likes you a lot,

you know, 'cause you're not --

You're not like the other guys,

I mean, because...

It's like you're pure

or something, you know?

I think I should

talk more or less.

I can't tell.

Are you homesick?

I want to go sit down.

Okay.

Okay.

Come here.

Come here, sweetie.

No.

Sh*t.

Oh, my god.

F***ing amazing.

I think that

this is the softest jacket...

In the entire universe.

It's wool with cashmere.

My god.

Do this slower --

like, slower.

[ sighing ]

[ sniffs ]

[ laughs ]

You okay?

I'm great. Perfect.

How are you?

Let's do this.

Give me the suitcase.

Oh, have the kid

bring the cash.

What?

Have the kid bring

the f***ing cash. Let's go.

Let's go.

Leave the b*tch in the car.

Come on.

Rachel:
No.

Sorry.

She's fine.

Hide your hard-on,

will you?

Don't f*** up and don't

say anything, all right?

Sam:
What am I

supposed to do?

Just don't say anything,

all right?

Looking for ephraim.

Ephraim:
I need 50,000 pills

boxed and sealed now.

Let's go!

If I find

one f***ing pill missing,

I'm gonna chop

your f***ing hands off!

Stay close.

There's my meshugga.

What's up, ephraim?

How you doing?

Hey, what's going?

Who's the bar mitzvah boy?

He's just my new guy.

Don't worry about it.

Well, new guy, let me show you

what we do here.

This operation here --

This thing's capable of

producing 300 pills a minute,

Over 100,000 an hour.

What's with

the machine guns?

Oh, you know, got raids,

killings, you know.

I didn't hear anything.

Yeah, I had to go up

on everything --

Production,

security, prices.

You know, I have to raise up

on that friends-and-family code.

What do you mean?

I'm already paying $2 a pill.

What the f*** does

it cost them -- 20 cents?

What it costs?

Don't worry about what

it costs me, all right?

This is a business.

This is not a club.

You better not

be f***ing me, ephraim.

What did I just say, jack?

Are you deaf?

I got guys pounding down my door

for this stuff.

No, you don't. You got me,

and you f***ing know it.

I'm the only motherf***er

that's bringing this

sh*t into new york.

I got other people,

all right?

Yeah, but I'm the best,

And there's nobody better

than my guys.

[ vomits ]

Ohh.

Jackie:
Sam,

get yose out of here.

Jackie, can I talk to you

for a second?

Not now.

Get him out of here.

Jackie, it's important --

please.

What's going on?

Don't worry about it.

One second. Excuse me.

What, you got to go to

the bathroom or something?

No. Look, with

his new machines,

The supply is going up,

So the prices

should not be going up.

Jackie:
Yeah?

Yeah, well, if you know that,

everybody knows that.

Look, you need me,

and you know it.

I'm gonna do you

a f***ing favor here.

I'm not gonna walk away.

So, I'm just gonna take my

original deal, and that's that.

Oh. Well, I-I don't think

you understand

What's going on here,

So why don't you take

your sick friend

And stop wasting

my f***ing time?

Really?

Yes, really.

Like that?

Yes.

All right. Then I'm getting

the f*** out of here.

All right, let's go.

Wait. Sir --

sam!

Sir, assuming

one of your machines

Is operating 24 hours a day

for 7 days a week,

It can produce more than

You need to keep

those pills moving.

We can help you do that.

Now, if one of your buyers finds

out that your supply is greater,

He's gonna cut his prices.

Word is gonna spread,

and people will talk.

[ sniffs ]

Hi. How you doing?

Okay.

I never thanked you

for yesterday.

You said

some pretty good sh*t.

Oh. Well,

I spoke out of turn.

Yeah. Yeah.

In the future,

you should probably,

You know,

shut your mouth.

Okay.

Yeah. You got to be careful.

This is some serious sh*t.

I know. Okay.

Okay?

You know, you don't

want to get too smart.

What do you mean?
