What does a fat Jap know?

He's a fat Indian.

Whatever.

So we dig you guys

sound Iike Goldman Sachs,

but it's just

not our thing.

So, you are

rejecting our offer?

No.

We're going to

give you our business,

but we're not

going to join you.

Nothing personal.

ALEX:
Nothing personal?

I'm afraid our

client would take this

very personally.

BEN:
Well, I am sorry.

We want out of

the dope business.

It's become a bit of a drag.

We want to do

something different.

Such as?

Such as clean,

renewable energy.

You mean sun,

wind, ethanol?

Sh*t Iike that?

There you go.

What do you have to say?

Me?

Mmm-hmm.

I think, basically,

you want us

to eat your sh*t

and call it caviar.

(ALEX CHUCKLING)

What'd he say?

What'd he say?

(WHISPERING)

You're making a mistake.

Right.

We'll give you

Well, in Iight of

our generous offer,

we would Iike to reconsider

and think about this.

Give us 48 hours.

We need to talk to producers

and distributors.

They're very

independent thinkers.

We'll talk

tomorrow at this time.

Well...

OPHELIA:
This is Spin.

He used to be

an investment broker

for a big bank,

but then he found

out he could make

a lot more money

laundering

Ben and Chon's profits.

Hey, what's up, guys?

How you doing?

The bank didn't miss him.

Got a Iittle something.

Sh*t. Sweet.

(SNIFFS)

We need to get off

the grid for a while.

Cool.

Yeah, no,

it's not really.

Okay. Uh, Annie?

I need you to set

up a new Iine for us.

Double-blind,

all right?

Everything washed fresh,

a whole new cycle.

Make it go away

somewhere for a while

so no one can trace us.

What, are you kidding me?

How Iong?

I don't know.

Botanical research,

call it a sabbatical.

Up to a year.

Huh.

Grab a seat.

Okay, no problemo.

A year for two of you.

Three.

Three? Who's three?

O.

(TYPING)

Okay, three people.

One of them is O.

So, that's a whole new

clothing Iine of its own.

Twelve months.

Housing, meals,

entertainment.

Where are you thinking?

Indonesia.

Where in Indonesia?

Can't say.

In case you get tortured.

Joy.

You guys are serious, huh?

AII right, well, you're going to want

easy access to a mil, anyway.

That girl's ass...

She could ride

my bike anytime.

Can you focus on the numbers?

Hey, I'm multitasking, pal.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I knew you

wouldn't make the deal.

We think it's time

to get out.

Not forever,

maybe a year or so.

When are you going?

Tomorrow night.

They got a clock on us.

Where?

Indonesia.

I put a water system

in this pretty Iittle village,

by a beach.

And they're

the sweetest people

you'd ever meet.

I think you'll Iove it.

Me, too.

What?

Well, I can't imagine

it without you.

It's the three of us now, O.

(LAUGHING) Oh, my gosh!

Yeah.

Where in Indonesia?

Isn't it 10,000 islands

or something?

Here, you got a passport?

A valid passport?

My mom's got it, okay?

Tell her just for

a few weeks, and then...

Yeah, I got it.

Then we'll re-adjust

the clock from there.

We're Iike that movie.

Avatar?

What movie?

You know,

the one with Paul Newman

when he was, you know, alive.

And Robert Redford,

when he was a total babe.

Butch Cassidy and

the Sundance Kid.

I'm Iike, the girl.

Wait, don't they

get killed at the end?

Not the girl.

(DISHES CLATTER)

Get down!

(LAUGHS)

Oh, my God.

A Iittle jumpy,

are we?

You think?

Are we clear?

So, how about I tell you folks

about our dessert specials?

Why not?

AII right, first off,

we have a delicious

creme brulee.

It's got

a thick sugar coating,

going to break Iike glass.

(CHEERING)

Feet are too close, Frankie!

Spread them. Follow through.

Where's the change-up?

I can see it coming.

Watch your feet.

Keep them guessing!

How much are we paying

his goddamn pitching coach?

Two thousand dollars

and the kid can't even

get his stance right.

Look at the

other one up there,

half asleep.

(YAWNING)

Junior! Wake up!

I'm talking.

Don't make me

come out there!

Okay.

LADO:
Are the kids

coming home for dinner?

Angela's going

to the Cheesecake Factory

with Courtney and Taylor.

It's Friday.

LADO:
The Cheesecake Factory.

In Mexico,

I picked my meals

out of the garbage truck.

That's why our children

are Californian now.

That was the idea,

Miguel, wasn't it?

Maybe we should go

and visit more often.

So Courtney was all Iike,

"I'm so over it."

And I was Iike, "No, b*tch,

you're so not 'so over it."'

Look at your daughter.

She Iooks Iike

a Iittle whore.

Nice. About our daughter.

She's 15.

Don't come crying at me

when she gets knocked up.

She's on the pill.

The pill.

You know what?

That's Iike telling her,

"Go ahead and f***."

You know what?

We should sit down

at the table,

the whole goddamned family,

'cause I can see

what's happening.

(JAUNTY MUSIC PLAYING)

Hello.

I'm on my way.

Who was that?

(SIGHS) Don't start.

Mmm?

Where are you going?

I gotta work.

Take the kids

out to dinner.

Okay? I'll be Iate.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Don't insult me

in front of everyone.

What are you, crazy?

Do me a favor.

Next time you come home

in the middle of the night,

take a shower

and wash her stink off,

will you?

Nice Latina mouth

you got Iately, Dolores.

You think you Ieft

the old ways behind?

Well, Iet me

tell you something.

Tijuana is coming here.

It's chasing us.

(CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

So, which cock

does she suck?

I can't tell.

The white guys

Iike each other.

Maybe they're faggots.

Maybe she

does them both.

Savages.

AII right. Are you ready?

This is the new stuff.

You've never had

anything Iike this before.

Oh, man.

It's good.

It's all right.

(SINGING IN SPANISH)

(PHONE RINGING)

LADO:
I can't find

my prick here.

That's because it's

too f***ing small.

What are you, drunk?

Elena.

You Ieft the phone on.

No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

You know, I'm just...

(ZIPS PANTS)

What's going on there?

(URINATING)

The geros got

drunk with a bonita.

They all went

inside their house.

They've been there

now for two hours.

A whore?

No, she's Iike

a rich girl or something.

She belong to

"Nothing personal"

or "Eat-sh*t-caviar"?

Hard to tell.

Interesting.

Are they sharing?

I know you don't

want to hear this,

Madrina,

but I think

they're going to run.

I could walk in

there right now

and take them,

talk to them

on your behalf.

No, Big Bear.

I need their network

and their expertise.

Interesting people,

Americans.

I think I found

their weakness.

Is she pretty?

Yeah, she's pretty,

but you got a better-looking

style, Madrina.

I'm getting old.

When we get to Indonesia,

I mean, if things heat up,

if they find you,

then what happens?

Would you guys

have to go?

Would I go home?

I don't...

I don't want to

Iose you guys.

I Iove you.

Because you're

my only family.

I've got three months tops

in Indonesia.

Oh, no.

I can't Iock down there.

OPHELIA:
Living in

a jungle sounds great,

but where's

the toilet paper?

(BOTH LAUGH)

That is, by far,
