had a restaurant.

What part of Armenia?

From the capital.

From Yerevan.

Sh*t.

I'm from Oklahoma,

and I am a Cherokee Indian.

I got... I got a girl's name, Mia.

But, it's a feminine name in English,

but it's not in Cherokee.

I was named like all

Indian Cherokee babies are named.

First thing the mother sees

when the baby is born

she names that f***ing baby.

So when I was born,

my mama looked out the window,

and she seen a red bird,

flying overhead in the sky.

Cherokee Indian name

for red bird is Mia Mia.

So, she called me Mia.

If you think that's a girl's name,

it's not.

I'm glad she didn't look out

the window and see an outhouse.

Can you imagine?

Look, hey,

here comes "Big Sh*t Thompson!"

Right down the goddamn street.

Here he comes.

Oh, f***.

- You OK?

- I don't know.

You got any aspirin?

- No.

- Oh, f***.

- Is this Sunset Boulevard?

- Yeah.

You said you are going downtown,

right?

Yeah.

I'm in no hurry.

I'm gonna take 101, OK?

I don't give a sh*t.

You do what you want to do.

You're the driver.

Remember, Sin-Dee. No drama!

Yeah, no drama.

Hello.

Hey, Mila, did you see Nash?

That little negro.

In the back.

Girl. Nash!

Hi, Nash!

Girl, girl, it's Nash, girl!

What's up, Sin-Dee.

How are you doing?

- I haven't seen you forever.

- Yeah.

It's been a long time.

It's cool. I'm glad you're out

and everything.

Look at this,

business is booming today. Yes!

How can I help you?

I just haven't seen you

in a long time.

You are...

Chester.

I haven't seen Chester

in a long time, either.

Me, neither.

He's been hanging out

with my new friend.

Her name is Dani.

Something Dominique... Desiree...

No, I ain't seen her, sorry.

Well. Listen, Sin-Dee.

It's good seeing you, but...

No, no, no, no.

You know where the f*** she is.

So stop lying to me Nash.

And tell me where the f*** she is...

Sin-Dee, just calm down.

I ain't seen nobody.

This is a place for business,

I am trying to...

You know who the f***

I am talking about?

Tell me where the f*** she is.

- Listen! First of all...

- OK.

Get some Tic-Tacs.

Number two, I don't know who the f***

you are talking about.

This is my place of business.

And you are f***ing my sh*t up

right now.

Oh, shut the f*** up

you lackey ass b*tch!

- Where the f*** is she?

- I ain't telling you sh*t.

And you need to get

the f*** out of here!

Look, I'm not doing this!

I'm out of here. Cause you know...

I told you, I already told you!

Bye!

Girl! Alexandra, girl! Hold on!

Just one more minute...

Would you just go with your homeboy

and get the f*** out of here?

Oh, now you want to talk sh*t?

I'm not going nowhere!

- I don't know who...

- Where are they?

I don't support that pimping sh*t.

I stay on my side of the business.

I am morally opposed

to the pimping sh*t.

So, listen.

Don't ask me sh*t like that.

- Alright, listen, listen.

- Hello?

Half of the city is down at Schrader.

There is a food line

and they are giving away

$20 Christmas gift certificate.

Some sh*t like that, alright?

- Schrader!

- Food line!

Thank you!

Alright, come on, man!

For real?

Looks like you need a new pack.
