You don't like to get f***ed

up and that's pretty much all

we did growing up.

JAY:

You're my oldest friend.

I mean of course

I want to work with you.

You could have

visited me, man.

I wrote you letters.

MARTY:

How do you think I felt

reading those letters?

On and on about

how you've changed,

'bout how you're

all enlightened...

What have I done

in the last 3 years?

Nothing.

Just the same

sh*t day after day.

JAY:

You're comparing what you went

through for the past 3 years

to what I went through?

You remember something.

I was in f***ing prison, dude.

MARY:

No man, it's not like that.

JAY:

You don't get enlightenment in

prison. You just try to survive.

MARTY:

After the shooting you did

with my gun, after you went

to jail, after I was

interviewed, questioned by

the cops a dozen times, I still

had to hire an attorney

and pay a sh*t

ton of legal bills

just to get my case dropped.

I went broke!

JAY:

You want money? How much

money do I owe you?

MARTY:

I don't want your money!

Alright, The guy tried to rip me

out of the car.

You had to do it.

JAY:

I was outta my

f***ing mind that night.

I take full responsibility

for my actions.

I'm sorry.

I promised myself when I got out

of prison that I was going to

make a nice quiet life

surrounded by people

good people who care.

I was really hoping you'd

be a part of that.

MARTY:

You're really going

full-on with this incense

sh*t huh?

JAY:

Oh yeah. F*** yeah man. I wanna

make me and all my homies rich.

MARTY:

You always

were a risk taker.

Making the big splash.

JAY:

This is gonna

be the biggest.

I need you up there on

that roof with me.

MARTY:

Alright, I'll get up there with

you, but I ain't jumping off.

JAY:

When do you want to start?

JAY:

Everybody say hi -

this is Marty.

EVERYONE:

Hey.

MARTY:

Magic Flame. I like the label.

JAY:

It's a sick looking

package right?

JAY:

You ready?

music plays...

Sound of Cash flipping.

Music continues.

Music continues.

voices not heard, music

continues through montage

JAY'S FATHER VOICE:

I've got nothing left to give,

what'd you want, my blood?

JAY'S FATHER:

JAY'S FATHER:

It's too much money. Where'd you

get it?

JAY:

Dad. This is all legit.

I want you to have it.

JAY'S FATHER:

You're actually making this kind

of money selling fake grass

in the bar?

JAY:

Well we're national with it

now, we're selling it wholesale.

It's unbelievable.

JAY'S FATHER:

I can't take it.

JAY:

Please, I want you to have

this money Dad. I wanna help.

JAY'S FATHER:

What, you're worried about me?

Does it look like I can't feed

myself huh? Clothe myself?

JAY:

Dad, no...

You know how you can help?

By continuing to

stay out of trouble.

out! Come on! Come on!

Woooohooooo!

SKIPPER:

Hey, hey! Woah, woah easy!

RAYMOND:

Oh come on 'Cap! No no no!

Let me have a bit of fun!

APRIL:

What are you trying to prove?

You had me at the boat.

JAY:

Did I?

APRIL:

All this because

of your hard work.

JAY:

I'm a bar owner. I didn't

invent the cure for cancer.

APRIL:

Your work ethic. The

way you treat people.

You deserve this.

MIKE:

Hey Jay, can I talk to you

for a minute? You remember Rick?

Used to come to

the morning meetings.

JAY:

Splitting his time in a

half-way house, that Rick?

MIKE:

Yeah, well turns out he had a

seizure from smoking herb.

The uh, fake sh*t

that's going around.

You wouldn't happen

to know anything about

that, now would you?

JAY:

That a question?

MIKE:

I heard a nasty little

rumor that one of the guys at

our meeting was dealing.

I said no f***in' way.

Then, I hear that not only is

he dealing, he's also recruiting

people to make product for

him. So I need confirmation.

JAY:

Nobody's dealing, Mike.

It's a legit business.

MIKE:

Legit business. Yesterday, I

found one of my guys

high as a kite.

MIKE:

I found a bag of your

Magic sh*t in his room.

How is getting addicts to

relapse a legit business?

JAY:

It's not like that, Mike.

MIKE:

Yeah... it sure

seems that way to me.

JAY:

He actually took the f***ing

baggy and threw it in my face.

RAYMOND:

F***in' douchebag, dude.

JAY:

F***in' prick... b*tch. They're

gonna blame me for everybody

who abuses the product? What

do they, blame Budweiser when

somebody downs a 12 pack

and gets a f***in' DUI?

These guys... what a guy.

It's f***ing bullshit man.

JAY:

Has anybody heard from Marty?

It's been 2 days.

What am I paying you guys for?

This better not be another

YouTube video marathon with the

cat playing the piano.

Where did you get this?

PAUL:

I was dropping off at

one of our new clients-

you know that convenience

store in Riviera Beach?

I show him the Magic Flame

product, start to do my spiel

when he says, we

already sell Magic Flame.

I look inside the glass

counter and there it is -

Magic Flame on display.

RAYMOND:

They did a crap f***ing

job ripping off our logo.

PAUL:

They were selling

for $1.25 a gram.

DARYL:

Man, they're ripping us
