This whole area
is the next place where people
and you got to get some people
in here so they don't
feel so intimidated.
Mm.
But I love it though;
It's like a good f***ing bar.
It's, like, good
energy and everything.
Good location.

I'm trying to get out
of my comfort zone,
trying to be cool and hang out
with cool guys like you dudes.
This is about respecting
this block, 'cause I get it.
I understand that you guys are...
You know, work hard or,
you know, have a lot of history.
For real, man.
I don't mean to be
disrespectful, but you guys look
You guys are, like, tough guys.
What a tough guy look like?
Like a black guy.
Oh, wow!
That's a stereotype now, Jack.
Hey, you can f***ing...
You stereotype me.
You f***ing look at me and think...

Well, what, you a
yuppie or something?
Yeah, 'cause I got

Now I'm trying to be honest with
you, and you all up in my grill.
Up in your grill!
Bet you listen to radio too much, huh, Jack?
Well...
We could get Tony to come in and
cut like a dog... cat door...
Pet door here and put
a sign on that says,
"techno... techno
night, $25 bucks."
Lock it up at 4:
00 A.M.Then we do the controlled
demolition, and then you sell
scrap meat to the renderer.
I've had dishwashing
jobs in the past.
You have?
Yes.
And you show up to work on time,
and you do your job properly,
and you scrub hard and all that?
Absolutely. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
I have Tuesday, Wednesday,
Okay, yeah, that would be...
That'd work for me.
And how much are you
looking to get paid?
I don't know what the rate is.
I guess, like, $10 an hour?
- $7.25.
- Okay, that's good.
That's fine.
Yeah, 10... How old are you?
I'm 35.
I'll take a little hit.
Just a touch.
Just tell me when.
You tell me when, okay? Just
pour it like a regular man.
I'm not a regular man.
I can't do it that way.
Just f*** it.
I'll just have champagne.
But speaking of American terrorists,
I was just reading this thing
about Timothy McVeigh. Apparently,
and I didn't know this,
but I was reading this, apparently,
that building had it coming.
He said, "it deserved it."
That building was a
f***ing a**hole.
I read that, too.
Cargill has to wait 30
seconds before he makes
any comment on any subject
or any conversation piece.
So that you have... There is
some kind of a clearance period;
A decontamination zone
for your thoughts.
Also, go... you could
also do the rules of ten.
Every tenth thought comes out.
You know what I mean?
You got a thought, you're like,
"okay, that's one, save it."
Store it. "Two."
Maybe destroy it.
Up to ten.
Comment, wait for a pause.
Yeah, let's try it out.
I think we are in the
process of trying it out.
I think you have no
concept of time.
I bet if you... Somebody
with a timer checked...
You have an hourglass
in your pocket?
What do you think ten
seconds feels like?
You tell me when ten seconds is up.
Ready?
Hold on.
I bet it's gonna
be three seconds.
Ready?
No overestimating.
That's cheating.
Ready? Go.
No, I'm not ready.
because I wasn't ready.
Ask me if I'm ready, and
then I'll say, "yes,"
and then you start. All
right, are you ready?
Yes.
Here we go. Start.

you've taken
there's no way
