Ryde Page #2

---

Not yet, but the night's

still young.

Well, I figure after

all these rides are given,

bound to find a decent girl.

Here's hoping.

Ah, just keep

refining your game, man.

A nice guy like you?

You'll be just fine.

Thanks.

[Paul]

I need a smoke.

Do you want me

to pull over for a bit?

Yeah, if you don't mind.

Just, uh, right around

the bend here will be great.

Care to join me?

Why not?

Cigarette?

So much for trying

to quit, right?

My mom always complains.

"These thing'll kill ya!"

[lighter clicks]

Well, killing's

better than dying.

What do you mean?

Killing's diminishing

something...

to take the life away from it.

You decide when to take it.

You make the choice

to see the ripples

of your decision

that affect tomorrow.

Dying...

that's a whole different story.

You can't anticipate

what you can't control.

That's deep, bro.

It's so serene up here.

That's why I like it.

All the isolation.

I can see my house from here.

Shall we?

[engine starts]

[engine revving]

[Karl gasping]

[car beeps]

Hey, you all right?

Need a jump?

No, I'm okay.

Just... having a cigarette.

Can't smoke anywhere

around here.

I hear ya.

Okay.

Have a good night.

Hi, I'm Karl.

Hi, I'm Karl.

Hi.

Karl.

Hey.

Hi, I'm Karl.

Um, where to?

I already

put in the address.

Right.

Oh, this is good.

Right over here, please.

Thanks.

Bye.

-Hi, I'm Karl.

-Can you hurry, please?

Yamashiro?

[sighs]

Yes.

For a much-needed nightcap.

Hi, Stefon?

Yeah, do you mind

calling the DJ tomorrow

to remind them

about the catering event?

Yeah, well, I still

have to call Charles

about the catering

and then pick up

the centerpieces.

Oh, yeah. You know,

which reminds me,

I have to call Cheryl

and tell her that her speech

has been bumped.

Oh, great. Yeah, okay.

Yeah, just do that. All right.

Okay, great.

Thank you. Bye.

My staff just

needs to get their heads

out of their own asses.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

Yes. Yeah, I already

spoke to Stefon.

Yeah, he's gonna call the DJ.

Don't even worry about it.

Yeah, of course.

Okay, yeah, so now

that I have you on the phone,

can you please call Cheryl

and tell her that she will

no longer be doing her speech?

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, I know how she is.

Well, I would call her myself,

but I just don't want to.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, okay, great.

So just do it.

That's why I'm asking you.

Okay. Okay, thank you.

Oh, you missed the turn.

Excuse me,

you missed the turn.

I can't believe this.

I'm already running behind.

You can just make

the U-turn up here.

Pull over!

Pull over, now!

Look, I just ended the--

I just ended the ride.

Can you just please

stop the car?

What do you want?

You want money?

What? You want some money?

Here, just take it.

Come on, please,

just pull over the car.

I won't tell anybody.

I won't tell anybody!

Just please open...

[crying] Let me out.

Oh, please,

just let me out!

[shrieks]

No...

[Paul grunting]

[blood squelches]

Hi.

-Hi. Karl.

-Hi, Karl.

Um, we're going to go

to the Blue Kat Lounge.

Do you know where that is?

Do you have the address?

He's got it.

You got it, right?

Yeah, see, he's got it.

Hey, bro, hey,

can you roll this window

up right here, man?

You're totally

f***ing up my hair.

Pump some AC back here,

all right?

Love, did you drive to me?

Yes.

Don't start with me.

Busy night?

Yeah. How about you?

Oh, we have a friend's birthday.

We're going

to stop in for a drink

and then it's his turn.

His turn?

You like Jason's parties too.

Okay.

But Casey's my friend

and it's her birthday,

so I would just like

to stay for a little while.

All right, J.

But we can't stay all night,

or else we won't

make it to Jason's.

No, it's fine,

but it's her birthday.

I don't want to be rude.

I don't want to be rushed.

All right.

Okay, we'll leave by 11:00.

How's that sound?

Eleven?

Yeah.

Thank you very much.

Have a good night, okay?

-[Marcus] Yo J, 11:00.

-I'm coming.

[Marcus] Let's go.

Hey, guy.

Hey, I don't want

to be here all night.

-Okay, I know.

-Okay?

Yeah. But we just

got here, so...

I just want to make--

you know.

I just don't want

to be here all night.

-Okay.

-All right, this guy.

Come on.

Hey, I'm gonna go fix

my hair 'cause of the--

Order me a Guinness,

all right?

Okay.

Hey, what can I get you?

Can I get a water and lime

and a Guinness?

We're actually

out of Guinness.

Just the water is fine

for now, thank you.

-You're here!

-Oh, yay, happy birthday!

Oh my God!

Please tell me

you left Marcus at home.

Cas-- come on, no.

He's in the bathroom.

Ugh. How's that going?

Uh, it's not good,

but it doesn't matter

because we're here.

And this is my awesome friend

and it's her birthday,

so who's going to buy her

a round of shots tonight?

-[people cheering]

-Okay.

You're going to be

well taken care of tonight.

And this is the best.

Yeah, that's all

she needs--

-more shots.

-Oh.

Casey.

Happy birthday.

Thanks, Marcus.

All right. Yeah.

-Hey, where's my drink?

-Oh, they were out.

-Out of Guinness?

-Yeah.

That's not strange to you?

-You didn't think

to order me something else?

-[Casey] Ugh.

I didn't know what else

you would want.

You didn't know

what I would want?

[phone buzzing]

Yo, Jase?

Yeah, I'm still here.

Yeah. Cool. What?

Oh, playa! Whoo!

[sighs]

Hey! Hey, hey,

hey, hey.

Hey.

Hey, what up, man?

Um, did Simiko

call you a Ryde?

Nah, man, but she'll

find another ride.

Besides, I got cash,

so let's go.

Terrance.

My friends, they like

to call me Double T!

So we're friends?

Oh, hell yeah, man.

Double T's everybody's friend.

All right.

Where to?

We're just going to Brentwood.

Head up Wilshire.

I'll direct you.

[hip-hop playing]

Yeah, yeah

I'm gettin' dough,

I'm gettin' guap

I throw it up

and let it drop

I said I'm gettin' dough,

I'm gettin' guap

- I throw it up...

-[cell phone ringing]

- 'Cause I got money...

-You can answer that.

- 'Cause I got money...

-Double T knows, man.

He just likes

this motherfuckin' song.

'Cause I got it, I got it,

b*tch, you don't...

Hey, yo, Willis,

where you at?

[Willis]

Yo, man, I'm on my way,

soon as I finish up

with these honeys.

-You know how it is.

-Aww!

Hell, yeah, motherf***er.

[Willis]

What's up? Where you at?

I'm just in a Ryde.

[Willis]

You got a chick driver?

-Nah, man.

-Aw, man.

I'm just ridin' with Karl.

Yo, say "what up," Karl.

Yeah.

Two-timers.

Yeah, anyway, man.

Yo, you grab your girl

and some Tinder hotties

and you head up

to the club, all right?

[Willis]

Yeah, I got you.

-Double T does not fly solo.

-I got you.

-I'll see you there.

- I'm gettin' dough

I'm gettin' guap

I throw it up

and let it drop

I say, I'm gettin' dough,

I'm gettin' guap...

[Paul]

Double T, you should

put your seat belt on.
