so, no offense,

but same time tomorrow.

No. Hey, wait, wait, wait!

I got a lot of cleaning

to do, too, you know.

Hey, buddy, how's it going?

You, uh...

Oh.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

You know, It was...

It was getting itchy.

Couldn't deal with it anymore.

You, uh...

You know,

if you don't mind me saying so,

you look like sh*t.

Well, uh...

Uh, to be honest with you,

I didn't really sleep last night.

You know, I...

I don't really feel like eating.

It's weird.

Uh, this thing's kind of got me

all freaked out.

You know,

I keep forgetting stuff,

important stuff.

I totally screwed up tonight.

Like what?

What happened?

Oh, never mind.

Hey, hey, hey, come on now.

Come on now, this is me

you're talking to here.

I mean, this is you

you're talking to here.

Yeah. I had our date...

our date with Erica tonight.

She's 300 pounds, isn't she?

No, I knew that picture

wasn't real the moment I saw it.

No, no, it was nothing like that.

She emailed me last night.

Today.

And she wanted to meet,

only it turns out that there's

two of the damn places,

and I'm at the wrong one

by mistake.

By the time I figured it out,

I got there, like,

an hour and thirteen minutes late.

She must have thought I was

some loser convict who stood her up.

I got there just in time

to see her leave

with some other guy.

Man.

You know what the worst part is?

She's gorgeous,

just like her picture.

Which one were you

supposed to go to again?

Corner of Fifth and Moore.

Fifth and Moore, right.

Okay.

See ya.

Hey! Wait!

Where you going?

We gotta talk about this!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, Skip, you lose something?

What'd you just say?

You ought to take better care

of stuff, huh?

You're two minutes late.

Hey, open up.

Open up your side!

Hey! Open up!

I know you're there!

Okay, okay, slow down!

Take it easy!

What are you doin'

over there, huh?

'Cause I'm... I'm really

messed up over here.

All right.

What the hell

is that on your neck?

What?

Oh, uh, I burned myself ironing.

You don't iron.

You hooked up with Erica,

didn't you?

You went back,

and you hooked up with Erica.

You bastard!

Come on now. Easy. All right.

Listen to me! There is something

seriously wrong here!

Okay? I'm not...

I'm not sleeping,

I can't...

I can't think straight.

I can't hold anything down.

This is wrong!

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Look, I have got a plan

that is gonna take care of this.

You're gonna love it, okay?

It's gonna fix everything,

I promise.

A plan? What plan?

What?

The lottery.

That's it.

Yeah.

Yeah, now you're talkin'.

Okay, all right.

I just got to, um...

Just stay there.

Wait right there, okay?

Just wait right there.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

These are

tomorrow's lottery numbers.

All right.

Okay. Now, tomorrow,

here's the plan.

Plan? There ain't no plan.

- Thanks.

- What?

Come back here!

You can't do this to me!

Damn it!

You talking to yourself, Skip?

Hey, Drex.

Been lookin' all over town

for you, man.

I thought you, uh,

skipped town on me!

You wouldn't do that, would you?

No, I wouldn't do that.

I just didn't know

you was looking for me.

Hey, hey, hey,

where's my money, Skip?

What money?

My $25,000!

That stash you gave to the cops

cost me 25 grand.

I didn't even know

what I was delivering, man.

And why does that matter to me?

Come on, man.

I did twenty-four months for that,

and I didn't even rat you out!

What am I,

your shrink now, Skip?

Where's my money?

Okay. Okay!

I'm coming into some money.

I...

I can get it.

I'm coming in, okay?

Soon.

Now we're talking, Skip.

No problem. I can get it.

Hey, hey.

I'm not being

unreasonable here, am I?

No, man,

you're being cool, actually.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're being cool.

Being cool.

Which is why I'm gonna

give you 24 hours

to come up with my money.

24 hours? Drex!

24 hours to come up

with my money,

or we're gonna have

some problems, Skip.

If you don't got my money,

you're a dead man.

Come on. Okay?

You got that?

Yeah, I got it.

Ohh!

What we got here, Skip?

Nice.

Look at that.

Vintage.

Very nice.

No, better yet,

I'm gonna help you out, Skip.

Just a little reminder.

So twenty-four hours from now,

when you hear this,

I'm either 25 Gs richer...

or your time's up.

- Archie?

- Hey, Skip.

Man, you're not looking so good.

What's up?

Please, you gotta help me.

What's the matter?

I can't sleep,

and there's this guy

that's gonna come,

and he's gonna kill me.

Who's gonna kill you?

My life is backwards.

It's all wrong.

I know. I been trying to...

He is sucking

what little good I had left

out of my life before this started.

And you have to help me!

You've gotta help me

get my life back, Archie!

- Listen to me!

- Please help me!

This is it! This is it!

This is what I been telling you!

You just failed to hear it!

Now, you gotta

get yourself together

and figure this out, okay?

Son, you gotta make the choice.

You decide everything.

The choice is yours.

Stop missing the point.

I know you're there.

I know you're in there.

Where are you?

Where are you?

Come on, open up your side.

Open up your side!

Open up, you son of a b*tch!

I know you're in there!

I know you're there! Open up!

Open up!

Open your side!

Open your side!

Open it!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Easy, Turbo,

slow down. Damn.

I need my cut, man.

Your cut of what?

You know, the lottery.

What about it?

Listen, we had a deal.

Your life just keeps getting

better and better,

and mine gets worse and worse.

Drex is gonna kill me tonight

if I don't give him $25,000.

Are you even

listening to me, huh?

He is going to kill us.

Not us, you.

Where's the lottery tickets?

I have it, but I can't cash it

till tomorrow

when the lottery office opens.

I can't work magic.

He's gonna come through that door,

and he's gonna put

a bullet in my head!

I need something now!

What are those?

Those airline tickets?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah,

plane tickets.

You know, that just might work.

Look, I just came by,

'cause I gave notice today,

and I wanted to say good-bye.

Notice?

You can't give notice!

We're leaving, okay?

And I just wanted to tell you.

We? Who's we?

What? Erica?

Hey, look, I got my life,

and you got yours.

You got my life!

Give me those tickets!

- Give me those tickets!

- No! They're mine!

Give me those tickets!

Aah! Aah!

Skip!

Skip, where you at? Open up!

I know you're in there, Skip!

Open up!

Skip, open the door!

One!

Two!

Three!

God, you're beautiful.

You said that already.

I did?

How many times?

It's just that it's so hard for me

to believe that

I'm actually here with you.

Why?

Because...

I had a shot to look at myself

in the mirror

this last week, and...

I just don't think I deserve it.

That's the great thing about life.

Our choices make us who we are.

If we don't like who we are,

just start making different choices.

Where's your new watch?

Oh, guess I left it at home.

Isn't that silly?
