You have one more minute before

your balance ends.

What?

You like Beth?

This is the kings highway bound

f local train.

The next stop is kings highway.

Luciana alumbra.

Just need to put your

insurance information

right here please.

I don't have any insurance.

Okay, well it'll be

$75 for the office visit

and we take cash or credit.

Is Dr. horowitz here?

Yes, he's here today.

Hold on, please.

Good morning, doctor's office.

How may I help you?

What's the last name?

When did you send it?

Okay, I will check.

Hold on, please.

Hey Lisa, do you know

where we keep the referrals

- for Dr. frank?

- I have one on the line now.

Says she sent it last week.

- What?

- Okay.

Dr. horowitz?

You can't stroll

in here like this.

Please, get out.

Olga sent me.

You can't be here.

Please,

I feel nauseous and Olga--

Olga does not

make my appointments

and this is not a dispensary.

What's that?

You're not going

to leave, are you?

Alright, what's wrong with you?

I told you, I feel dizzy.

You and Olga are friends?

What have you two been up to?

Nothing, I only met her one time

but doctor, I also

get my nose bleeding.

Olga told me you could help me.

Can you help me?

- Have you taken any drugs?

- No.

You can get me in big

trouble showing up like this.

I am a doctor here.

How can you get in trouble

by helping a patient?

You can't be a patient unless

you can pay for the appointment.

Can you pay for the appointment?

No, but I thought that--

I,

Have you told anyone that

you were coming here?

No.

Where were you last night?

Fractured relationship

with Christ,

Genesis, exodus, deuteronomy,

all tells us, exodus,

of that closeness with god.

They tell us to

prepare for salvation,

to receive the

gift of salvation. Who's ready?

Who wants to receive that gift?

Are you ready?

Are you ready to receive

the gift of salvation?

Are you ready to receive

the gift of salvation?

"All good gifts come from

the father of light."

Saint James 1:
17.

What of friends?

We all have friends.

Friends turn on us.

Friends say I'll hold your coat

and then they don't

hold your coat.

But god holds your coat.

Trying to

play me the way you are.

You think it's somebody I trust?

Do you?

Well I don't.

Unless you mean trust the lie,

trust you to steal,

trust you to mess up the

whole god damn operation.

F*** radall.

Do not

f*** radall me, do you hear?

One more excuse out of

you and I'll kill you.

You're overreacting.

Please, baby, put that down,

you don't need that knife.

Put that down, baby.

There you go again,

telling me what I gotta do.

Well, you listen to me,

sh*t for brains,

I don't gotta to--

Sorry but your card balance

does not allow you to

make a call at this time.

You disgust me, you know that?

Actually, I'd be doing

the world a favor

by removing your

sorry ass from it.

Don't talk anymore.

Just shut the f*** up.

I got to leave.

Something I should have

been doing a long time ago

but it's too damn late for now.

Jd, sorry ass, cock sucking,

two timing mother f***er,

I should f*** you up right now.

There you are, baby.

Don't baby me.

I'm so ready to put my

foot so far up your ass,

you think it flew there.

Whoa, I'm calling you tabasco

'cause you are hot today.

What the f*** is this about?

It's about Tony lazano.

I can't believe you

ratted me out like that.

He don't know sh*t.

He does know, I can feel it.

You need to relax.

Look, I got you a

little something.

I don't need your sh*t.

Oh come on,

you can't be serious.

I'm as serious

as a heart attack.

I'mma bounce you like a check.

Mm uh, you ain't hurting my man.

Shut the f*** up.

I'm not talking to you.

Oh come on, b*tches.

Hi, sorry I'm late.

This is Luciana, my friend.

The best chicken

in the big apple.

The best

chicken in the big apple.

The best chicken

in the big apple.

The best chicken

in the big apple.

The best chicken

in the big apple.

The best chicken

in the big apple.

The best chicken

in the big apple.

The best chicken

in the big apple.

The best chicken

in the big apple.

The best chicken

in the big apple.

The best chicken

in the big apple.

I'm so f***ing done.

This chicken is

going to attack you.

I'm not doing this again,

that's for sure.

Yeah, one was a cocky a**hole

but another one

was kind of cute.

Sounds like you have the

best taste in the world.

Let's go.

I'm so sick of these sh*t jobs.

Well at

least we get cash, right?

That's what

it says on Craig's list

but you never know.

I wanted to show you,

have you ever

thought about this?

No, I bet what they really want

is to experiment with your eggs.

I know but it says for research.

No, I don't trust those places.

Look, there must

be something behind

why they pay so much money.

I'm so tired of

the possibilities.

The possibilities

are why we're here.

Sometimes I think I could

end up homeless on the street.

I wonder how those

people got there.

Don't be so dramatic.

You can always go back

to your nice country.

No, I can't.

Well, you won't be

able to come back here

but you can like

living there, right?

No, I can't.

Why can't you, the

economical crisis?

Mmhmm, it's so bad over

there now, I know, I know

but here look, you

have so many options.

Anything is possible

in New York.

Those street people,

they're just drug addicts

or they came out of jail.

They're just bad people.

Maybe they just had bad luck.

There's no such

thing as bad luck.

We all get what we deserve.

What do you really think that?

That's such a

horrible thing to say.

If you do some bad sh*t,

eventually, something bad

is going to happen to you

and that's what Jesus

and god are there for,

to put bad girls

like us in hell.

Trust me.

I bet there's an a**hole in

Spain who broke your heart.

Shut up.

I don't let them use me,

I use them.

Men are all the same.

If I stayed in my country now,

I would be like my sister,

married to drunk husband

with three children.

And she's my younger sister.

I cannot stand her

husband or their children,

they're so demanding.

I can't deal with kids,

not even babies,

so freaking annoying.

When I first got here,

I took a job as a nanny.

I quit the first day.

The freaking baby

was crying and crying

and crying all the time.

- She drove me crazy.

- Shut the f*** up!

You're so f***ed up.

Yeah.

So did you go to the doctor?

He's such a jerk

but he gave you pills, right?

He told me I was

having a panic attack.

Here, take these.

They're the best to chill.

I get anxious too

sometimes, you know?

What's this?

It doesn't even have a label.

Take, they will help.

Are you crazy?

I'm not gonna take this crap.

Your loss.

Does that taste good?

I was a good model,

the best agency in Moscow

but now there's

nothing for me there.

Did you come here alone too?

No, with two other models.

So what happened to them?

I don't know, I lost track.

New York ate them.

Oh f***, oh no, no, please no.
