The Air I Breathe Page #2

But you know, I wanna see the world.

You know, my uncle Fingers, he's all about family;

sharing the wealth, you know.

You know how he got that nickname 'Fingers'?

Because people do whatever he wants.

... all he has to do is

just snap his fingers, man.

That's a great f***ing nickname, man.

Just f***ing snap his f***ing fingers, sh*t yeah.

You know, seeing my

uncle is cool and all

but I'll tell you I came here

for one thing and one thing only.

P*ssy.

You know what the f*** I'm saying?

I'm gonna f*** tonight.

I heard my favorite uncle was here, huh.

Huh!

How you doin'?

- How are you, Tony? Good to see you.

That's the boss's nephew.

Nigga, what! This f***ing thing's huge.

What's he like?

- Articulate.

My men taking good care of you?

- Oh, yeah, yeah, we've been chatting

up a bit. Checkin' this town out.

A young man's gotta change his oil.

Listen to me...

Your daddy wants me to pop your cherry,

show you the ropes.

Now there's gonna be plenty of time

for dick waving but we need to make time for...

Business

- Exactly.

No jokin' around, okay.

You wanna take Tony out on your rounds tonight,

show him the city, what we do?

Start his education.

Keep you company.

Of course.

- Alright then.

Keep your ass out of trouble.

Remember the last time?

No Andrea, I swear, I promise.

- It's funny now. Alright?

Okay, go, get outta here.

Go outside, I got some business to discuss.

I'll see you later.

He's a f***ing mess.

Just try to keep him outta trouble.

May be he'll learn a thing or two.

But now it's time for business.

Listen to this.

What do you think?

- It's fine.

Excuse me? It's fine? It's f***ing great!

What are you talking about?

I don't know a lot of music.

A client of mine who paid his debt to me

part of the deal was

her management contract.

This is her first CD. The sale,

through the roof. Very promising.

I'm sorry, I still don't follow you.

How long have we been doing this?

Too long. I'm tired of chasing money.

I'm tired of teaching lessons to

lowlifes who won't pay.

I've always hoped for more.

For both of us.

This girl is our way up.

I'm sure she's gonna be pissed off

when she finds out I'm her new manager, but

I'll take care of that.

You just keep an eye on her.

What is it? What do you see?

Nothing.

You see something.

- I don't see anything.

What do you mean?

She has no future?

Oh, she has a future.

I just can't see it.

Don't talk much, do ya?

Too busy thinking about the future, I bet.

Yeah, my uncle f***ing told me.

He said you can see the future and sh*t.

He says the f***ing money, casinos,

stock market. He said you know it all.

Do you know what it reminds me of?

You ever seen that movie, Krull?

Alright, there's this f***ing cyclops in it.

And the way that he got that way was

that he traded one of his eyes to see the future.

Okay, long story f***ing crazy short

the evil warlord tricked that f***er.

And the only future that he could see

was his own death.

Man, that sh*t would suck.

So, what's the plan tonight, my man?

We gonna get some f***ing drinks first or is just

straight to the pussies.

- Tonight we work.

He's not here.

Come back next week.

He's in the hospital.

Getting a mole removed.

Come back next week.

How do you like that, huh?

Bet you don't.

I told you, next week.

No, no, no, no, no!

You pay up now, old bag.

Otherwise we gonna f***

some more sh*t up, huh!

Dude.

Why didn't you help me out when

I was getting f***ed by Moby Dick in there, huh!

What do you think, you wanna go back

stomp that b*tch, man?

Coz I'm a f***ing savage.

Know what I'm saying?

Look at this f***ing hat.

Look at this sh*t, man.

I don't have it.

You bleeding?

- I don't know.

Get up.

I'm gonna cut you a break.

I'm coming back next week

I need you to get that money.

Or make sure Fingers gets it.

Because if he doesn't,

he's gonna get one of these.

You don't want to.

I see you next week,

I'm sorry about the missus.

Let's go.

Man, I never seen anything like that.

F***ing cold merciless sh*t back there.

I mean you knew that crazy b*tch was coming.

What's it like? What do you see?

You enjoy this sh*t, man?

F***ing people up like that?

Sometimes it's part of the job.

- Yeah, but do you enjoy it?

You know what I think? I think you do, man.

I think you love it.

Yeah, you do. Coz otherwise you'd just predict

the lottery and get the f*** out of here, right?

I can't.

What do you mean you can't?

Man does anything he wants.

Can't do that because I haven't been shown.

The moment I see it,

then I move on.

So you could like

f*** any girl and know you ain't

getting the clap for sure, sure. Huh!

I mean safe sex is a beautiful thing.

So I've heard.

Dude, this is just what my dream house looks like.

I want a place just like this, chicks

music and chicks f***ing each other,

while some midget chick sucks my balls.

Why didn't we come here first?

Lotta ass for an old guy.

Hello, boys.

It's a pleasure to see you.

As always.

This is Tony, Finger's nephew.

- Hi, how you doing?

I love you uncle, he is such a sweet man.

Have you had something to drink?

No, I'm actually on a bit of a schedule but

you got a room?

- No time to stay.

You always say that but I know

it's not true.

Whatever you want, just ask.

Follow us.

- Hey, baby, baby! Please Tony is not that easy.

Let's get you all naked.

Where's the f***ing room?

That old man there...

- He and his men are regulars.

They don't even bring their guns.

He has a gun?

- Just him, no one else.

You pay for Fingers' protection.

It's worth every penny.

You know you're always welcome

to stay.

I don't entertain any more.

Unless I choose to.

Can you do me a favor?

- Anything.

Tell Tony that I'll be back after my rounds.

Of course.

When you can see the future

you think you're capable of changing it.

But you're just a witness to coming moments...

unable to help, even if you wanted to.

And may be, you don't.

Sometimes you think you're

supposed to learn something

about patience or distance.

But in the end, it's all

about discipline.

Seeing things you don't always want to.

And just moving on.

After a while, things become easier.

Routine keeps your mind from wandering.

You begin to accept things as they are.

Every man has his destiny.

You can't escape that,

even if you can see it coming.

Where you going, baby?

Hey, come on baby.

Get the f*** out.

You're in the wrong room.

Don't f***ing touch me.

Come on, baby. C'mon, you don't wanna do that

- Don't tell me what to do.

We were having a very nice time.

So go away.

Take it easy.

Drop the f***ing gun!

No, man. You got it all wrong.

The gun went off by itself.

It's not my f***ing fault.

The f***ing gun just went off.

Then there is nothing to worry about.

- Don't f***ing come any f***ing closer.

I'll f***ing use this, man.

Get the f*** back, man.

You wanna shoot us all?

I've done nothing.

What are we doing man? We have the gun.
