cigarettes and lookin'pale and thin

It's a shame

It's a pity in New York City

Well

Well, well, well

well, well

Something has changed

The way these people think

Hey there, lonely girl

Lonely girl

Let me make your

broken heart like new

- Oh, sh*t.

- Hey there, lonely...

White people.

Our dates.

Ohh, sh*t.

Oh-ho-ho.

Look at this, man!

Mama-say, mama-sa, makusa!

Oh, smack me two times!

Calm down.

My son is going

to the best schools.

My daughter, she ain't even

gonna know what a food stamp is.

My wife,

we goin' out all the time.

All the time!

- What's wrong with you, man?

- Nothing.

You sweatin' that bullshit, ain't you?

You sweatin' that bullshit.

You did what you had to do

to that guy, man. Don't worry about it.

All right? Put that sh*t

behind you, man. Where you goin'?

Where you goin'?

Where you goin'?

I'm just gonna...

I'm just gonna take a walk.

All right.

Well, hurry back.

I got willpower,

but I don't know how much.

You know what I'm sayin'?

Yeah.

There is somethin'

On your mind

By the way

you look at me

There is somethin'

On your mind, honey

Did you ever do somethin' that you

thought would make you feel great?

In a weird way,

you almost feel worse.

Revenge, huh?

Some things hurt no matter what.

That must be a fact

of life.

- And what you're thinkin'

- Hi!

Hi! Nick.

I can't believe it.

What are you doin' here?

- Danielle.

- Oops.

I don't know

what I'm doin' here.

- What are you doin' here?

- Well, Sheila, my best friend...

Well, she used to be my best friend.

I guess, technically,

Marcy would be my best friend.

I mean, they both think they're my

best friend, which is okay by me.

But once I did have this nightmare

where Sheila and Marcy are sitting...

right next to each other, and this

Eskimo guy comes over and says, "Pick."

I thought I was gonna die. I mean,

an Eskimo guy. What is that all about?

Anyway, Sheila, she's visiting

and she's staying here.

And so I thought I'd take her

to a party and show her a good time.

And she meets this guy and goes home

with him instead. And, oh, well.

You really look good.

You look...

You look good too.

- Thank you.

- Do you want a drink?

Uh-huh. Yeah. Sure.

You know, I'm such a klutz. I spilled

beer all over my dress earlier.

And, well, I think it's stained.

Did it stain, Nick?

I have Sheila's room key.

You wanna come up?

- Let's get hot

- Oh, yes, it's ladies'night

And the vibes is right

Oh, yes, it's ladies'night

Oh, what a night

Oh, what a night

It's ladies'night

and the feeling's right

Oh, yes, it's ladies'night

Oh, what a night

Oh, what a night

Nick, Nick,

use your key, man.

All right.

All right, Nick. Damn!

- Hey, Nick, why couldn't

you just use your key?

- Turn your bed down?

Stay.

The lady is lookin'good

- Just like the lady should

- Just like the lady should

I've been thinking about this

for so long. I want you so bad.

I just wanted to

make her happy.

This is gonna be a night

that you won't forget.

I try to forget,

but I can't.

- Give it to me, Nick.

- Give. That's all I did was give.

Nick? Nick, you're really putting

a damper on the mood here.

I'm sorry.

I don't know.

Danielle, I can't.

I just can't.

I just wanna make you mine

We'll be together

till the end of time

Hey, Kareem. Are you aware

that Charlie and I...

had intended to come up here

and cap your punk ass?

And your girlfriend Nick.

But, sh*t, you two muffns did such an

outstanding job with this fnancing...

I mean, who could think about killing

at a time like this?

Thanks. Your approval

means a lot.

- Did I tell you to speak?

Did I tell you to speak?

- Charlie, no.

That's gonna be too loud.

Too loud.

- Hello? Hello?

- Hi.

Oh, my God!

Nick, is that you? Are you okay?

- I'm fne.

- Oh, thank God!

I didn't know if, if you...

I thought that...

You're not hurt?

- No.

- Oh, thank God! Where are you?

Look, Ann, let's not make this harder

than it has to be. I saw you.

- What?

- I saw you. I know.

Saw me what?

What are you talking about?

Come on. Do you have to do this?

You and Phillip.

- What about him?

- You're denying it. She's denying it.

I don't believe this.

Friday afternoon. Remember?

Well, guess what.

I came home early. I saw you, Ann.

- I was there.

- Oh. Oh, no.

Yeah. Oh, no.

Nick, I was still

at work Friday afternoon.

At work? Well, then your-your clone

was at home screwing my boss.

Nick, it was my sister.

Remember, I told you...

she was coming next Friday

with her fance?

Well, I made a mistake. It was this

Friday. They called from the airport.

I told them about

the key in the planter.

I called you, but you'd

already left the offce.

So I left you a message

on the machine at home.

What about... What about the cuff links?

Phillip's cuff links

were on the sink, Ann.

Honey, they've been in the dresser

since the Christmas party.

I left them on the counter so you'd

fnally remember to bring them to him.

So you're not having

an affair?

- No, you dick!

- You still love me?

More than anything in the world.

You... You wouldn't believe

what I've been through.

You're gonna laugh,

but I actually... Sh*t.

- What's the matter? What's wrong?

- Sh*t!

- What's the matter? What?

- Sh*t!

Sh*t! Sh*t!

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t,

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t...

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t,

sh*t, sh*t.

Going down.

- Don't touch it.

- Oh, man.

Oh, man.

I think I can open the door

and catch the sheet.

- Don't touch the sheet, please. Don't...

- No, no, no.

- No, don't move. Don't move.

- Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

I done moved the hand.

I really don't think

you should be moving right now.

L-I think you're moving.

- Call the paramedics. Listen to me.

- All right.

Get them here

as fast as you can!

Have them meet me

with a gurney.

- Wait. Let me practise.

- Let you practise?

I'm hangin' on

a f***in' ledge, man.

- I don't wanna die like this, Nick.

- All right.

I wasn't tryin'

to stick you up, man!

First, I'm gonna say "one."

Then I'm gonna say "two."

Then I'm gonna say "three."

- And then I'm gonna do it.

- I can't hear you.

- I'm gonna start with one

and count to three!

- Okay.

Ready?

One.

- Right.

- Two.

I can't hear you!

You gotta be louder, Nick!

- I said, "two"!

- Are you on "two" already?

- I'll start again!

- Start from "one"!

- One...

- Right.

- Two.

- I got you.

- Three!

- Nick!

- I got it! I got it! Got it!

Well, you go, boy!

You my...

The elevator!

Remind me to kick

your ass later.

Oh! We're rich, man!

- We are in the bigs.

- Charlie. Charlie, smell that.

Oh, yes! You, too,

can be a millionaire!

Hookers!

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie,

Charlie, smell this.

More hookers!

- Hookers!

- We hit the mother lode, man!

- What the f*** is that?

- What the f***...

- Okay. What now?

- I don't know.

What do you mean, you don't know?

I thought you said you had a plan.

- That was my plan: To ram them.

- Ram them.
