And you?

Yeah, I agree, right chair.

I mean, are you sure?

You can change your mind, 'cause

I'm going to ask it to get up in a second.

Okay.

Spirit, would you leave the table please?

Hey, man.

Yeah, I was heading over there in a few.

Word. Later.

Yo!

This kid right here.

This kid's a little pimp.

Hey, do a shot with me.

To the young buck, Bo.

Go find yourself a boo.

Everybody, get naked.

Like, when I drop that mixtape,

dawg, it is f***ing game over.

There are bars on it, son.

Bars.

And I work with this cat who's probably

gonna be producing Ye's new album.

The good lord, Yeezus.

Bo, let me talk to you for a sec.

Yo, Angelo, where you been at?

Something came up.

Word.

I just wanted to ask you

something real quick.

Yeah, what's up?

Why the f*** are you cutting my drugs?

I don't know what you're talking about, man.

We're not gonna play this game.

You ungrateful piece of sh*t!

I gave you a job when you needed it most,

and now you're f***ing me?

How much did you cut it?

Just another kilo, man.

I swear I was gonna pay you back.

F***ing hell.

I swear. I swear. I swear.

No, no, no, no, no!

Come here, you motherf***er.

Please, please. No, no, no. No, no.

You know what?

I want my kilo's full value back

without you taking a cut. Obviously.

Another 15 since you doubled my product.

And let's throw one more 15k

on top of that for a**hole tax.

So, if you're following me, that's 45k,

and I want it by midnight next Sunday.

Get the f*** out of my house.

Hey, close the door.

- Bo, what happened?

- I don't want Tina to see.

What happened? Hey.

I messed up, okay?

I messed up bad.

Tell me what happened. Tell me what happened.

If you never want to see me again, I get it.

I mean, I really hate that

I was lying to you about it,

but, honestly, I thought

I'd be out of this by now.

You don't seem like the type of girl

that'd want to date a drug dealer.

Okay, stop.

I'm gonna help you figure this out.

There's no way I can get that kind of money.

I only have $5,000 saved up.

Okay, but you have to try, right?

If he's as bad as you say he is,

you don't have a choice.

Look, sell off what you have.

Keep performing until you can find

a way to get the rest of the money.

And I'll see what I can do, too.

To working in hell.

$35,914.

You sold everything?

Everything.

Here.

What's this?

It's only $900.

Wait, where'd this come from?

I had it saved up.

It was supposed to be

for school applications.

Holly...

You're not allowed to give it back.

I don't even know what to say...

You don't have to say anything.

You know I'll pay you back.

Yeah.

Now, how do I get nine grand

by midnight tomorrow?

F***!

Is something bad going to happen to us?

What?

No.

You're scared.

I know.

I'm sorry, T.

It's just hard being a grown up

sometimes, that's all.

What's happening?

Nothing you need to worry about.

Well, I hope it's over soon.

I'm not gonna make it.

I've got six hours.

Then what are we doing in an arcade, Bo?

Oh, my God!

Yes! I won! Oh, my God!

- Hurry up.

- Hey. Tina, Tina.

Let's get you something to eat.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Here. Try this one.

What's the deal with these things?

Maybe over here.

Come on...

Please, it's so close.

Come on, buddy, you can do it.

And this time...

- Come on. Come on.

- Come on.

I did it.

Yes, yes! Oh, my God!

Yes! Yeah!

Yes! Okay, let's go over here.

Over there.

...got a set on the 12th.

But we already have somebody for the 14th.

Plus, you guys have always

done better on Saturdays.

I think it's a bad idea, but...

- How much?

- Fifteen.

If that's what you wanna try.

You can take 'em off.

No, I mean, it's on you.

If you wanna take that risk.

I mean, look, it doesn't matter to me.

Door set is the same, no matter what.

Split on my end is fine, so I mean...

It just depends on whether

you can bring people out.

All right, you just let me know.

Hey. Sorry.

Okay, that is yours, this is mine.

Are you taking off?

I might stick around.

Yeah, you should.

I'll buy you a drink.

I just got some great news.

- Okay.

- You up to that?

- Yeah.

- Let's do it.

Oh, man.

You been out here yet?

It's nuts. Nuts tonight.

Packed.

You gonna tell me the good news, or no?

Yeah.

But it's good news, so I'm telling you

at the bar with a drink in my hand.

Okay, well, I'll meet you at the bar, then.

I'm just gonna hit the bathroom real quick.

Oh, yeah. No problem.

F***.

Sh*t.

Where the hell did you go?

I grabbed the wrong guest list.

There's a party of eight under Speranza?

Yeah, they're good.

Coming back now.

All right, what are you drinking?

Um, let me get that one right there.

Which one?

That Casamigos there.

Oh, yeah. That's good stuff.

So, I got a job.

Really?

Yeah, buddies of mine have a band.

They're going on a tour next week.

It's sh*t money, but it's not this.

Oh, my God. That's great.

- Yeah. Thanks.

- Yeah.

- Hey, to getting out.

- To getting out.

All right, I'll catch you later.

Chase his ass, and I'll go get the car.

Let's go, let's go.

What's up, boy? Where you going, man?

Nah, nah, nah.

What's up, black star?

Where you going, man?

You piece of sh*t.

Got me out here running around.

Let me see that.

What, you like games or something?

Come on. Come on.

Sh*t.

Are you f***ing serious?

Here. Come here, come here.

- Hello?

- You got a watch?

Where's my money?

I'm almost there.

I just need a little more time.

I didn't ask for you to get close, Bo.

I asked for 45k by midnight tonight.

I just need some more time.

I want another 5k.

Why couldn't I go in the house?

Um...

I'm gonna pick you up

from school today, okay?

Okay.

All right. I love you.

I love you, too.

- Have a good day.

- Okay.

I don't know what else to do.

I can't get any more money.

I did everything that I could.

I don't know, nothing's working.

Holly, I almost died.

What?

You and Tina have got to get out of here.

You've gotta get out of LA.

And I wanna come with you.

But what about school and your mom?

What you said the other night,

that I don't deserve this.

I really needed to hear that.

I do deserve better.

And you do, too.

Look, you guys could get out of here now,

and I'd only be a few weeks behind you.

My semester's almost over, and I could

apply to some new schools over the summer.

But where would we go?

Excuse me. Have you seen my sister?

Tina? Tina Wolfe?

Yeah, I think your uncle picked her up.

Uncle?

- T, where are you?

- Homie, did you think I was kidding?

Angelo?

Get me my f***ing money.

If you touch my...

Everything okay?

I know you're in class,

just wanted you to know that it's looking

like I'll be working late tonight.

I need you to snag T after school

and get her to dance class.

It's that studio on Walden.

She knows where.

I'll be out in plenty of time to pick her up.

Oh, and there should be a 20 on the fridge.

Go ahead and order yourself something

if you get hungry before we get back,
