I'm your best friend, Sid.

So you keep f***ing telling me!

And you'll never get straight.

It's the same.

I can't get up tomorrow

I can't do it anymore.

Oh, god, please help me.

Please, you promised.

You're so full of sh*t.

You're so f***in' blind!

One pack of cigarettes.

Look, kid, you're out on bail, right?

One safety pin.

Why don't you give yourself a break?

One stick of gum. I know you think

you're kinda tough, Ritchie.

There's a lot of guys out there

a lot tougher. One leather-studded arm band.

You can walk out that door,

and you can stay out for good,

sixty-seven cents. Or you can turn around

and walk back in here again.

Five hundred

forty dollars cash.

Sign here, please.

It's all up to you, Ritchie.

I don't see any braces

on your legs.

Oh, yeah.

One more thing.

Sure, kid.

Where can I
