It's not working, okay.

There is no deal.

I'm not going anywhere

until you give me my money.

What? I didn't cum.

You didn't get paid.

- It's all cool, just get out.

- No, no you didn't cum,

but because of the fact that

I had to touch your dirty ass.

Well, you ain't doing your job

so I couldn't cum.

It's enough f***in' around.

No, I'm not going anywhere.

- Give me my sh*t.

- Get the f*** out of my car.

Give me my sh*t.

Get the f*** out.

OK, you know what?

Get the f***...

Give me my f***ing keys.

- Nope.

- Not f***ing funny goddamn it.

Give me my f***ing keys.

Not f***ing funny.

You're not getting your f***ing keys.

- Give me...

- You're not getting these...

Get off, get...

Get the f*** off me.

- Give me them f***ing keys.

- No.

What...

You forget I got a dick, too.

Come here.

- Delee. Delila, Daphanie?

- Oh.

Something starting with a D.

Come on. D.

- Oh, Dana.

- I guess that's it. Where is she?

You know where they're at?

A few days ago, she was at the Grand.

- Off of Vermont.

- Classy!

- Right? Simple.

- Sure.

She comes back,

takes a piece of broccoli,

eats it and was like...

"Oh, I don't think I like this."

And I'm like, "You haven't even

eaten any food yet."

So that was the beginning of it.

- After lunch...

- You stay with her, okay.

I stay with her, we go outside.

Next door, to the coffee shop.

I get Thai iced teas.

And I put them down.

- She drinks out of my straw.

- Nice.

Just classy, huh?

- Wait a minute.

- Oh, speaking of classy.

- Nice, Oh, jeez.

- Oh, boy.

- F***ing Alexander.

- Oh, boy.

- Have you not worked with Alexander?

- No.

- Please help me.

- Get off the car.

- Off the f***ing car.

- Get off me, help.

Well, here is your chance,

if you want to go meet him.

- Nice try.

- Please help. Help me, Officer.

Alexandra, Alexandra.

It's enough, let him go.

- What's going on?

- This lady just attacked me.

- He owes me f***ing money.

- Is it true?

No, I don't even know her.

I got out of my car

and she attacked me.

So a random woman just grabs you

and attacks you.

- Yes.

- Yes.

Check the pulse.

Alexander.

Girl, what the f***?

You know I don't do that sh*t.

I don't know.

What's happening?

- He owes me money.

- I don't owe you money.

- Forty dollars.

- Forty dollars?

I don't even know her.

- Why does he owe you $40?

- He knows me very well.

Ask him.

Is that your green Passat?

Yeah.

Well we have seen you cruising around

for at least 45 minutes.

- I...

- So you didn't just park it

- and come down

- I just... I...

Like ten minutes ago

I was driving around.

- I was on the phone. I realized...

- I've seen it. You know what, sir?

I shouldn't be talking

and driving the car.

That's it. That's it.

Why does he owe you money?

We made a business transaction.

A business transaction? OK.

This is what's gonna happen.

It's Christmas Eve.

We'll all go our separate ways.

Because I think that's a lot easier

than calling our family

and trying to explain why we have

to be bailed out of jail.

What family?

Yeah. We know.

You posted a lot at the center.

Yes. At Mary's.

- 7:
00pm.

- 7:
00.

OK. Thank you girls.

I'll see you there.

No, no, no.

- Can I help you?

- You working?

- Are you a cop?

- No, no. Get in.

Make a right,

right here on Las Palmas.

I like right here.

No. It's really busy

on the streets today, so...

Are you from around here?

No.

I haven't seen you before.

You are beautiful.

What about right here?

No. The block is hot over here.

There's a spot two blocks up.

OK. To the left right here.

So... It's so nice to see some

fresh faces out here.

What's your name?

It's whatever you want it to be.

- Yeah?

- What... What can I help you with?

You girls usually have some

exotic names.

Selena.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Where you from?

Does it really matter where I'm from?

You new? New in town?

I'm from Santa Clarita.

Can we do some French, please?

Here.

Cool?

Are these real?

Yeah, they're real.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

No, no, no. no, no, no. Wait

I go down.

Pull it out. Pull it out.

Pull it out.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

- Is it tucked?

- Is it tucked?

- What the f***?

- What the f*** is this?

It's a p*ssy.

Get the f*** out of my car.

Give me my money.

Where did you put my money?

What the f*** is your problem, dude?

Get the f*** out of my car.

- That block you were hanging on?

- What a waste of my time.

That's not for pussies.

Alright? You shouldn't be there.

- F***ing homo, man.

- Get out of my f***ing car.

- That's the wrong track for you.

- F*** you, dude.

Don't work that track.

Close the door. Close the door!

F*** you!

Scotty?

Scotty?

What number is the party room?

So, me and my sisters...

Every weekend we would go down

to this skating rink,

and every Friday night they

would have like a disco theme,

but you would have to bring,

like, a guy...

And could never find a guy

to go with me,

so I had to dance with my sisters.

Hold on.

Yeah?

Chester has any girls here?

Maybe.

And who are you?

Does Chester have any girls here?

- Who the f*** are you?

- Dana?

- I'm not Dana

- No, no, no. I'm looking for Dana.

There ain't no Dana here.

Dinah?

Oh, sh*t!

What the f*** are you doing?

Get the f*** out!

- Where's f***ing Dinah?

- Who cares?

- Get the f*** out.

- Where the f*** is Dinah?

Where she at, girl?

She's in there.

But you're not going in there.

- Watch me, b*tch!

- Get the f*** out!

- Dinah! Dinah!

- Get the f*** out of here!

That's where she's at!

She's f***ing blonde!

- Where's she at?

- Get the f*** out.

She's in the bathroom!

I'm sorry, guys!

Dinah? Dinah?

F***ing Dinah!

Right here! In there!

What? Hey! Hey!

Who are you?

What do you want?

Oh, my God.

Guys, shut the f*** up! Shut up!

We have neighbors, alright?

- I'm not getting kicked out.

- Is that crazy b*tch coming back?

She's not coming back.

That's what I'm telling you.

She's not coming back.

Girls, go! Go back in the other room!

Go! Go!

I better get

a freebie next time!

No! You're not getting a freebie,

alright?

Did you want me to call the cops?

Yeah, genius.

Let's get the whole precinct

down here, you motherf***er!

You have the wrong person!

What's your name?

Dinah!

Dinah, Dinah, Dinah, Dinah!

Razmik!

Hey! Alexandra, come here!

I'm so f***ing happy

to see you today.

Oh, my God. You will not believe

what I have been through!

What happened? Get in.

What a sight for sore eyes!

Thanks for helping, you motherf***er!

- Hurry up! Come on!

- Ow!

This is like the second time

this month that this happened to me.

I'm tired of being f***ing nice

to people.

I've got some money for you.

Don't worry, man.

I think this is becoming

our favorite spot.

Yeah.

- Hi.

- Just the wash.

I don't know what's going on

with your man,

but it has nothing to do with me!

Who are you talking about?

F***ing name?

You want a f***ing name?

How about a f***ing name?
