Bo, it's Mr. Granger.

I called as soon as I heard. I'm so sorry.

I know I've never met your mom,

but if you were any reflection of her,

she must have been someone really special.

I just want you to know, uh,

I understand the pain

you're feeling right now.

It feels kind of like the world is ending.

And when I've been in that spot,

I just wish someone had been there to tell me

to not let the now disrupt the future.

That scholarship proves you're one

in a million, Bo, don't forget that.

I'm here if you need anything.

Don't ever hesitate to call.

End of message.

Delete, press seven. Save, press nine.

Deleted.

Okay.

That the one you want? You could swap it out.

Yeah, I'll keep this one.

All right, can you show

everyone what card you have?

Not me, just show everyone what you have.

Sweet, so I want you to put

that card in your shirt pocket,

really make sure there's no way

I can see it or touch it.

All right, all right, so I'm gonna

take another card, all right?

Four of hearts.

Now, go ahead and hold

your hand over your card.

Really make sure

there's no way I can touch it.

- Yeah, for sure.

- Oh, wait.

Ah, you were just a little too slow,

so you should have my heart.

Weird, uh, does anyone else have the card?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

No way!

That's insane.

How did you do it?

As you can see,

there's no string at all, all right?

What's your name?

Uh, Holly.

You can grab it, Holly.

How did you do that?

You ready, T?

- Yeah.

- All done for the day.

- What you reading?

- Hatchet.

Oh, okay. I read that forever ago.

- I almost cried when he first...

- Stop!

I'm only three chapters in.

Oh, my bad. My bad.

- Let's head out.

- Okay.

You about to ruin my book.

I had a long day today.

Made this ring levitate

in front of this girl's face.

- Remember the trick I showed you?

- Uh-huh.

T, stop leaving your stuff

in the living room.

- You forgot the mail.

- Thank you.

Georgi.

Hey, what's up?

Hey, are you around tonight?

Yeah, you working?

Um, yeah, I'm making Tina dinner now,

but if you wouldn't mind getting her to bed?

Yeah, no problem.

- You have a good day?

- I did, yeah.

I just got back from Graffiti,

finished a whole chapter,

which somehow feels like

I've been to war and back.

If I stare at the page for one more

second, my eyes are gonna bleed.

You?

Nothing, it was fine.

Okay. Well, I'm gonna take a shower

real quick and then I'll be over.

Okay, thank you.

- Yo.

- There he is.

- What up, Bo?

- What's up, man?

Hello.

- What's up, buddy?

- What's up, dude?

- Luna's in the office.

- Okay.

- Luna.

- Bo.

Thank God. I'm having

an "I need drugs" situation.

Get in here.

I mean, DJs? I don't know what they're doing.

They will ask for a blow-up doll

two months in advance

and then drugs day of.

Like, I don't know how I'm supposed

to turn that around for you, buddy.

This what your ride is gonna look like?

Oh, God, no.

I'm a beer and pizza gal.

This? This is nonsense.

I am so over this gig.

Me, too. Later.

- Yeah. Cheers, dude. Be well.

- All right.

- Oh, so, we don't get a trick?

- Oh.

What's that?

It's my wallet!

He just gave me my f***ing wallet.

You...

When the hell did he take it?

Later.

This is my phone! What the hell!

What are you laughing at?

Are you Bo?

Yeah, get in.

Okay.

Hey. Hi, I'm, uh, Noah.

I got your number from some friends.

So, it's, uh, $60?

For three. Yeah.

Three. Can I ask, is it one molly per person?

Or should I...

Do you think I should get more?

Do you sell coke? Can I also get coke?

Can you even do molly with coke?

I met these girls, and it's kind

of cool to know a guy, you know?

Sounds kind of dumb when you say it, but...

Hey, listen, man, whatever you want.

But, honestly, don't buy drugs

to impress girls.

I'll take the molly though.

$60.

The ATM would only give me $100.

I know we said three,

but I've got $100 here.

Um, that's no worries,

- I can give you five for...

- One...

- Sh*t!

- Hands up!

What are you doing back here?

What'd you just have in your hands?

Uh, nothing... Nothing, sir.

Why did he take off running?

I think he was just scared, sir.

If I search your pockets,

am I gonna find anything illegal?

No, sir.

Turn around.

Hands on your head. Interlace your fingers.

Where'd you put it? I saw you

stash something in your pocket.

I don't know what you're talking

about, sir. I don't have anything.

You put something in your pocket!

I don't have anything, sir.

See anything?

Get the f*** out of here.

Oh, my God!

No, no, no, no!

Bo, I'm sorry!

Don't pour water on hot oil, okay?

It can start a fire!

Okay, I'm sorry.

I was just trying to make you breakfast.

What was this?

Bacon.

Man, let's... Let's clean this out.

I'll show you how to make it

the way you like, all right?

Okay.

Sorry.

Come here.

You scared me.

Sorry.

Here, grab the soap.

What's up?

Come on in.

You have been doing good.

Keep it up and these a**holes

will be working for you one day.

Everything else good?

Yeah, just dealing the sh*t out.

Nothing much else really going on.

Okay.

You got a girl these days?

Nah, just my little sister.

Well, actually,

I'm meeting with this girl tomorrow.

It's our first time out.

No sh*t.

- Where'd you meet her?

- Just out and about.

Ooh! Attaboy.

You know what?

First date is on me.

No, no, no, I can't take that.

Oh, please, no worries, man.

I was wondering if you

could do me a favor though?

You still selling over at Daedalus?

Yeah, it's my biggest pull.

I've been hearing there's

a new coke supplier in the area.

They got someone selling there, too.

You mind keeping an eye out?

- Sure.

- Perfect.

I just need the name of the supplier.

Well, I'll let you know what I find out.

Sounds good.

Have fun on that date.

Thanks.

All right.

Hey, did that guy just buy from you?

No.

No? Well, it looked like

he just bought from you.

Nah, man, I think you're mistaken.

Oh, come on, I'm just trying to party,

have a good time, you know.

Sorry. Sorry, man.

Well, I mean, all that money,

I'm sure you've got something.

I don't got anything for you.

- Come on, man...

- I said...

I said I can't help you.

Fine.

F***ing punk ass.

Yo.

Look like the supplier's name is Maurice.

Yep.

Hey.

Uh...

Good to see you again.

We really didn't get a chance

to meet last time.

Hence me giving you my number.

Right.

Yeah, I was just getting off work,

that day when I saw you performing.

So, you work on Larchmont?

Yeah, yeah, Crumbs bakery.

I sell giant cupcakes a couple days a week,

but I'm at community college

racking up credits.

Awesome.

Oh, uh, here, sorry.

Thank you.

So, you do magic?

I mean, a little.

I'm getting pretty good at it.

You know, I have never seen

a cute magician before.

I'm starving.

He sent a card on my birthday,

but that's about it.

I haven't seen him in about a year.
