and you don't even bring me?

You go on a f***ing vacation?

Some f***ing friend you are!

Melissa! It is so much more complicated

than that, and you know it!

Why don't you wear a knee brace?

Mmm, shut up, Greg. Why don't

you play with somethin' down the street?

You think I'm so f***ing stupid!

Yeah, you are f***ing stupid!

You're the f***ing stupid one!

- Stay away from me.

- It's not even your f***ing money!

It's the old b*tch's money!

- Yeah, b*tch!

- F*** off.

Go back to f***ing Jacksonville, whore!

Get out!

Get the f*** out of my room!

Hey, hey.

Stop it. Stop, stop.

- She is f***ing done here, man.

- Go pop some more oxy.

Pack your bags, b*tch.

You're f***in' outta here!

Shut... You know what? I don't

f***ing like it here anyway.

Shut up! Shut up!

We're the best you ever had.

Okay, shut up.

Get out.

Shut up. Shut up! Shut up!

Get her out of my room.

Listen to me.

We have neighbors.

Shut your f***ing mouth.

Get her out of my...

Mikey?

Get out of here.

Get her out of my room.

Get out!

Get out of my...

F***!

Come here, okay?

It's okay. it's okay, Starlet.

Twelve hundred bucks

is walking out the f***ing door!

And you know what?

I'm not going to be able to put another b*tch

up in there for at least a f***ing month.

Are you gonna... Listen to me.

Are you gonna f***in' pay for it? You

gonna live with a liar and a cheat?

I don't give a f*** what she is,

but she pays f***ing rent.

Now how are we gonna... So what? Shh, baby,

baby... I can afford this place on my own.

I've been doing enough privates.

We'll be fine.

Jesus f***ing Christ, Melissa!

Are you shitting me?

You've been booking privates

behind my back?

You're kidding me, right?

What did you expect?

It's everything I borrowed.

Unlike some people,

I return money that isn't mine.

Father, tell him I wanna play.

Hold on a second.

You can't. You don't know how!

Mona, can you watch the kids

for two minutes, please?

Let me finish this phone call.

Yes. I'll make a couple of calls.

I'll get you a house.

Don't worry about it.

This is for good.

This way is much better for you.

Gracie.

Yo, Gracie!

What?

Your girl's here.

Hi. I'm Tess.

You're late. Come on.

I'll show you to your room.

There is no smoking in the house.

Go on the patio.

This is my room if you need anything.

This is Mark's room.

Don't even knock on his door.

You good? 'Kay.

I don't know if Arash

wants you doing any webcam or not...

but if he does,

put it on the schedule...

so I don't have any conflicts.

This is your room.

Don't let your dog pee in the house,

and label anything you put in the fridge.

Thank you, Rommel.

Love you.

Oh, yes. Of course I'll do some

fully nude ass-shaking for you, Eros.

Buy those tokens, guys!

Oh, God.

I'm praying that you pull this off.

Oh, Jesus, help. Nope.

F***in' Jesus doesn't exist.

Great job, Melissa. Great job.

I'm glad I wasted

all this f***ing money...

putting this in so you can

f***ing learn how to do this!

Where are you going?

Really?

Okay. Have fun.

Hello.

Hey, remember me?

I'm Jane's friend.

Anyway,

I was just coming by to tell you...

that the only reason

why Jane's hanging out with you...

is 'cause she has

a bunch of your money.

I don't know how she got it,

but I know she has it.

Mmm.

Yeah, and...

At first I thought

she was hanging out with you...

'cause she felt sorry for you.

You know, pitied you.

Some old lady, probably

going to die soon.

Then I realized...

she just felt guilty

for taking your money.

She's not your friend.

Just thought

you should know the truth.

Okay.

Well, so I'll see you around.

Bye.

Sadie?

Hi.

Are you ready?

Mm-hmm.

You look nice.

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

It's not that bad.

Lets the sun in.

Oh, wait. Almost forgot.

Hey, you're okay, right?

It's gonna be fun.

Can we stop at the cemetery

on the way to the airport?

Uh,

I don't know if we have time.

It only takes a minute.

It's right on the way.

Hey, you know,

we're cutting it kind of close.

Are you sure you don't want to do this

when we get back?

It's all right. We'll be okay.

We're... We're here.

Could you do this?

You'll be faster than me.

Yeah. Okay.

Here. Hold Starlet.
