Matter of fact, you should be

thanking me for those shoes.

something here. It's our time.

We can, we can get out.

Yeah, so f***in' smart.

Let's do that.

stupid from the beginning.

- Bush tits.

I got some work for you.

- Nice. Nice and calm.

- How can I help you?

- By turning your

air conditioner on.

You're cooking up

your customers in here.

- Nothing wrong with

a little bit of heat.

Besides, the ac is sort of

out of commission right now.

What can I get you?

Menus.

- Um..

I don't really see

anything I can eat.

Do you have any healthy options?

- Uh, why not just

define healthy?

- Oh, sorry, I didn't, I didn't

mean to be disrespectful.

- I have my own business too.

- Uh-oh, competition?

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

Not exactly. I don't think

we're even in the same race.

- What's that mean?

- Unless there's something

else you're selling

that's not on the menu.

- Like what?

- How about ice tea?

- Well, how about ice tea?

'Cause what's this is,

made it myself.

It's chamomile,

herbal essence, tofu.

- Bro... Where we at?

- This is where

it all goes down.

- You're sure he's gonna cop

the whole thing, right?

- Alright, Playa, hold off here.

Don't move.

- My old man said,

"no more stove for me."

- At least, he still

gave you the diner.

- Psst.

- Grandma's here.

- Okay.

- She's gonna take you
