Does Medicare cover hip replacement?

- What?

- 'Cause when I'm 50 like you,

and I assume

that you can only do missionary,

I'm an ass guy.

I wanna get behind that sh*t.

But that's gonna require

a hip replacement,

or a nurse,

gently rocking you back and forth,

back and forth,

and I'm not into having a nurse watch me

get my f*** on all the time.

Hey, what the f*** you talking about?

Your jokes don't even make sense.

You don't get Medicare 'til you're 65,

coz.

- He would know. [Laughing]

- His jokes are stupid.

- His sense of humor is just mean.

- We're the same age. It is mean.

- He's f***ing mean.

- Ageist motherf***er.

- We're both millennials.

- [gunshot, then screaming]

# I should be dead

I should be dead #

# I should be dead

I should be dead #

# I should be dead

I should be dead #

[Jay screams] Get the f*** off me!

[Chris] Let's go!

- Where's your car?

- [women] Hi.

Come on.

[screaming]

[Chris] Just come to work today.

It doesn't matter.

Yo, Danny's not gonna do sh*t.

If he was, there'd be,

like, cops around your place right now.

Maybe you're right. Maybe you're right.

[Chris] Hey, I almost forgot.

Hey. Here.

Man, this is like...

It's like a thousand bucks.

I'm repaying an old debt.

[chuckles]

What about the new debt?

Okay, baby steps.

Baby steps?

- Wanna come up front?

- [Sahara] Yeah. Let me out.

- Thanks.

- Yeah, of course.

- [Chester] Bye.

- [Sahara] Bye.

[Chris] Love you.

Yo.

There's a Nas concert in San Diego

this weekend.

Will you actually pay

for the tickets this time?

How else am I gonna get 'em, nerd?

- Bye.

- [Carmen] Don't forget to call me.

[woman moaning]

[woman] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do it, do it, do it. [Grunts]

Yeah.

[man on radio] You can reject God,

but he will not reject you.

I said, he will not...

He won't leave you

on the side of a road...

- He created every part of you.

- [grunts, then groans]

He knitted you together

in your mother's womb.

Do you not think of yourself

more highly than you are?

Well, do you?

I know the answer. I know the answer.

- God knows the answer.

- [cell phone ringing]

You ask and you do...

- Who's this?

- [Danny] The hell you been?

- I been waiting all night.

- You got my money?

Hey, bring four baggies for me, okay?

Don't ever tell me to bring you something.

Right? You ask for it.

I got it. But if you're not here in 20...

[man on radio]

a greater grace, and therefore it says.

God is opposed to the proud,

but gives grace to the humble.

You look like sh*t, man. You okay?

F*** you. Where's my money?

- Don't have to count it. It's there.

- You ruined my count. Shut up.

What, are you depressed or something?

Are you all right?

You know,

every time we get together

it's all strictly business.

I never get to hear how you're doing.

You know, I don't hear about Jay.

You know? How are you doing?

Sahara and I broke up.

That's f***ed up, man. Bring it in.

Bring it in. Come on, brother.

- That's f***ing...

- [sobs] We broke up, man.

Let it out, bro.

[sobbing]

Um...

What does she know, all right?

She doesn't know what she's missing.

You're talented, you're thoughtful.

And look, you're like a drug-dealing,

Asian Brad Pitt.

I'm not the man I once was,

and people won't let me be, man.

They won't let me be, man.

I just wanna be. Just let me be.

You can be. You can be with me.

I don't give a sh*t.

You can be whatever you want around me.

What the f*** are you doing, bro?

You just said I could be

whoever I wanna be.

I just said that so you'd

stop making me feel uncomfortable.

- I mean, you gay?

- Oh, man. No!

- You straight?

- Yeah.

- Sometimes.

- Sometimes?

Sometimes I like men.

Sometimes I like women.

Sometimes I feel like a woman

who likes women, coz.

Just give me the f***ing baggies,

get the f*** out of here.

I'm f***ing tired of these labels.

I'm just trying to be honest with you,

man.

[siren wailing]

What are you doing? What are you doing?

What are you doing, man?

- Don't do it.

- Oh, motherf***er.

Don't pull... Don't do that.

No, no. Don't do it.

Hands up. Hands up. Drop the bag.

[sirens wailing]

[officer] Freeze! Hands in the air!

What took you guys so long?

What the hell?

The guy kissed me on the mouth.

You couldn't show up two seconds earlier?

- We all really enjoyed that, Danny.

- Just because I'm running a business here

you think I got some kind

of white-collar crime going on here.

It's f***ing racist, man.

- Good day, Mr. Bryant.

- [Danny] Good day to you.

[Greg] Y'all see Mia Lee

from KCAL News outside?

She was eyeing your boy mad hard.

Yo, it was like she was jerking me off

with her eyes.

The craziest part about it? I came, nigga.

Okay. Back to work, everybody.

Break's up.

Greg, your break was up five minutes ago.

Back on the floor.

I thought we were cool.

I just took you to Jamba Juice.

Got you one with wheatgrass.

What the f***?

[knocking on door]

Come on in.

- Danny.

- What's up, girl?

[clears throat] So...

there's some people here to see you.

It's 8:
00 in the morning.

I don't know, but they asked for you.

They asked for me? Who did? Who is?

Who are they, asking for me?

I guess I'm pretty popular these days.

[chuckles]

Hey, guys.

Did you forget something?

Kind of.

- We have a situation here.

- Well, I'm sorry

I don't have any more bookies

to turn over to you.

I'm clean as a virgin's p*ssy.

That is wildly inappropriate.

We have a warrant for your arrest.

There was $1,800

unaccounted for yesterday,

and Mr. Winters claims that you stole it.

Know what? I'm glad you guys are here.

Because one of my employees,

Chester Tamborghini,

has a lot of explaining to do.

He's the one who's responsible

for that missing money.

He'll be here any minute.

Get those cuffs ready.

Well, if that's the case,

how do you explain the security footage

of you taking money

from the registers yesterday morning?

That's considered felony theft.

I don't know

what footage you're referring to.

Would you do me a favor?

Go down to my office,

and ask Mr. Winters

if he knows where I am.

Danny's hiding from you in the back room.

I don't have time for this sh*t.

You tell him if that money doesn't show up

by tomorrow morning,

the police will. Okay?

- Yep.

- B*tch!

[woman] Mr. Winters didn't say

who specifically turned over the footage,

but needless to say,

it'll hold up in court.

That girl's a criminal.

She probably took that footage

to George Lucas

and had my face CGI'd onto Chester's body.

Come on.

Pound it out, bro. You're under arrest.

I didn't take the money.

I didn't... I'm not... I swear to God.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used against you

in a court of law.

You don't have to do this.

I got cash with your name on it.

No one has to know, not even your partner.

Hey, Danny. Meet your new cell mate.

Oh, f***. Get the f*** out of here.

I can't get in... I can't do this.

I'm not built for this.
