alternative

chemicals out there to use.

Once you switch, there isn't

anything the FEDS can do,

And neither will

the local cops.

They can't tell if a package

is legal without first

testing it.

And they don't have test kits

to test product on the spot.

They have to test it at the

Sheriff's lab which takes

forever and it's expensive.

And even those test results

aren't necessarily hard

evidence for arrest.

RAYMOND:

Wait what are you saying

we just switch compounds,

and keep making product like

it's business as usual? What?

RON GREY:

I represent your competitors,

Green Magic.

They're planning on making

many different variations of

their product.

That's because they want to

stay one step ahead of the

ban.

They just have to keep trying

out the various chemicals.

JAY:

That's f***in' safe. Fool the

Feds, possibly kill your client.

RON GREY:

Listen you're

not going to kill anyone.

And, when you need to get

chemicals tested I can help

you with test labs.

JAY:

Are you a lawyer or

an accomplice?

RON GREY:

Ooh. It's a game...

of cat-and-mouse.

Stay one step and ahead,

you make millions, trust me.

RAYMOND:

All right we got a

lotta work to do.

First, we gotta destroy any

old product, we gotta notify

store owners that we're coming

out with a new product.

Gotta start testing new

compounds. I'm gonna call

the guys at the lab right now.

Yo, where you going,

car's right here.

JAY:

I gotta go. I'm gotta walk, bro.

RAYMOND:

Where? What?

JAY:

I just, I gotta think about

this. I'm sorry

RAYMOND:

Yo, Jay where ya going? Dude

come on, we have so much

work to do Jay!...Jay!

Where you going?!

God damn it! F***!

JAY:

Hey. Thanks for meeting me here.

I know I haven't been

around a lot.

APRIL:

I heard that your product was

featured on the news.

JAY:

Yeah, that reporter's been on my

ass for weeks trying to get

an interview...listen.

This whole thing is a

lot more complicated

than you think it is. I've got

friends that are in the program

that are on the payroll. They've

got families and they depend

on me for a paycheck.

APRIL:

But is that how you want

to help your friends?

By hurting other people?

You know it isn't right, Jay.

JAY:

Isn't right? Was the Breakers

not right? Was that not right?

How about the boat ride?

That wasn't right either?

The jewelry? Was

that not right too?

APRIL:

I don't care about that stuff.

I never did!

JAY:

What do you expect me to do?

APRIL:

Ya know what, I can't do this.

Let's just, let's just leave it.

JAY:

You can't do what? What are

you doing? What? April!

APRIL:

Just stop.

JAY:

April! F***!

Raj.

RAJ (V.O.):

Jay my friend.

JAY:

What's going on?

RAJ (V.O.):

Well, I was wondering if you

could stop by the store

JAY:

Yeah, anything for

my first customer man,

I'll be over as soon as I can.

RAJ:

I called because I was

concerned about Marty.

JAY:

He said he'd been down here.

RAJ:

He's been here. He brought those

100 boxes you owe me.

JAY:

So why you worried?

RAJ:

He looked bad. He looked

f***ing really bad.

JAY:

What do you mean?

RAJ:

He was high. I mean he was

depressed. He looked terrible.

JAY:

Yeah?

RAJ:

Yeah, he went to the back,

got a few cheap beers

and when I asked him if he

having a party or something

he says no. He's staying

at some cheap motel.

He's hanging out for a couple

of days... it was kinda strange.

JAY:

Oh... f***.

RAJ:

I don't know what's going on.

JAY:

Son of a b*tch. All right, yeah,

I'll handle it. Thanks alot Raj.

RAJ:

MAN 1:

MARTY:

MAN 1:

You're not done 'til

we say you're done.

MARTY:

MARTY:

I had nothing to do with your

robbery. I promise you, man.

You have to believe me.

JAY:

Why? Why do I have

to believe you?

Who the f*** were those guys?

How did they know where I live?

MARTY:

For the last four months I've

been hooked on blues okay?

I took one pill one time and

haven't been able to stop since.

I maintained awhile but soon

enough I was getting sick and

not even all the money you were

paying me was enough to support

my habit.

JAY:

What does that have to do

with my robbery?

MARTY :

I'm trying to tell you that.

I was fllling out percriptions

for these guys that were getting

the pills from me so I could

I could get high for free.

I never thought that they

would trace this back to you.

JAY:

Get outta my car.

MARTY:

Jay. I'm gonna fix this

man. I promise you.

JAY:

You're gonna fix it? Yeah?

How you going to fix

my hand? More importantly

buddy how you gonna fix

my f***ing mind? From

being completely f***ed?!

I can't even go into my own

God damned house at night

without having

an anxiety attack.

No you can't f***ing

fix this Marty.

MARTY:

I promise you that I'm

gonna make this right.

MARTY:

You have to believe me,

I promise you

that I'm gonna fix this.

JAY:

I trusted you. Get outta my car.

Get outta my f***ing car Marty.

MARTY:

Jay. Jay I'm gonna fix this.

JAY:

It was Marty. He's been using

for a long time.

Look. I don't expect anything

between you and me. Just...

Ya know...you always listen

and I just wanted you to know.

All right, bye.

AUTOMATED VOICE:

"End of new messages."

Knocking.

JAY:

Thanks Pop.

JAY'S FATHER:

You want something to drink?

JAY:

of those mini sodas?

JAY'S FATHER:

Yeah, there should be

some in the fridge.

or something. Can't take

a little bit of cold!
