This time, no more

cheap f***ing champagne.

I want Dom this time and

I want a stretch limo.

told you they'd do it.

You got to relax

just a little bit

and trust me a little more, OK?

I trust you.

I trust you.

But what if your little soldier

boys want a return right away?

Well, what then?

They always want

their money back.

If they want their

f***ing money back,

they reenlist another

two f***ing years.

I don't give a f***.

What's it, four years?

I don't know.

Listen, I don't give a sh*t.

I'm counting on you.

the life, man.

fun, just me and you.

and check out all the chicks.

I got a producer in the car.

Oh, yeah.

Woo!

That's luxury, Frank.

You ready?

He wasn't even in the club, OK?

He said he wasn't going

to come around anymore.

Jim just took it.

I know what Jim did.

for this right now.

I got a lot going on.

I got a busy schedule.

Hey, Raven.

Get your little ass in here.

Look I need it OK?

project together.

Fine.

Take the f***ing camera.

you pulled the other night.

He's a big spender,

a high roller.

Next time, keep your

f***ing hands to yourself.

You want to be an

arm's length away,

slide your ass up on that stage

and go swing on that pole.

If it happens again, just smile.

Pretend you like it.

Deep down, I know that you do.

restraints, Frank.

Just take this off.

going to move around too much.

God damn it.

Help!
