The Man Page #4
- Oh.
Is he dancing tonight, too?
And with the right
feet positioning...
there you go,
okay. Well!
Yeah, that's good.
Daddy, can Andy come
with you tonight?
Um...
Look, honey...
Daddy can't come tonight.
I'm sorry.
But I promise I will be there
next time. I swear.
I'm gonna make it up to you.
Oh, f***...
crying out loud.
Hold on.
Look, Daddy's
gotta go, okay?
Go ahead.
Goodbye.
It was very nice
meeting you, Kate.
- You too.
- So what you got?
- The owner of that phone?
- Yeah.
- It's Cortez. Manny Cortez.
- Who?
- Katie.
- Thanks.
Come inside,
sweetheart.
Hang on.
Cortez's is back elevator,
second floor.
Oh, sh*t.
- Don't get up.
- You scared me, man.
What are you still
doing here, Cortez?
You were supposed to meet us
at the warehouse over three hours ago.
Do you mind?
I'm, uh...
I'm in the middle
of something here.
I truly don't care.
Hey, look. There's too much heat
on those guns, all right?
I mean, you killed a cop.
That was not in the deal.
Yeah, well,
he became a problem.
Listen, we got
the merchandise.
You need
to pay us for it.
I'm out, all right?
- I cannot do sh*t with those guns.
- You know what, Cortez?
That's your problem.
You got the money or not?
Find another buyer,
all right?
And you know what?
I suggest you get out of town
as quickly as possible.
Hey. Yo.
Close the door on your way out.
Sure.
Well, I guess that just leaves
the Turk.
I guess so.
Well, you've got
a very nice family.
You've just got
a wonderful daughter
- and a lovely wife.
- Ex-wife.
Ex-wife, yes, well, she seems
like a very nice person.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, so... so...
so it just didn't work out, huh?
Well, whatever.
- Would you like to see my family?
- No!
Well, I would like
to see my family.
This is my oldest...
Hannah, she's 12.
I'm trying to get her interested
but I guess at that age, you know,
it's just not cool yet.
This is my little
ballerina right here.
And this is my wife Susan,
holding our newest addition... Emily.
Just turned 2.
Already talking a mile a minute.
Just talk talk talk
talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
talk talk talk.
A regular little chatterbox.
- I wonder who she got that from.
- I think she got it from me.
- You think?
- Oh...
Well, I am, uh... I'm sorry
about your... situation.
What situation
would that be?
Well, you've got
people who love you,
and yet you seem
like a very sad and lonely man.
- I'm not lonely.
- Well, I think you're lonely.
- I'm not lonely.
- Fine, you're not lonely. You're alone.
Yes, I'm alone,
but I'm not lonely.
It's two different things.
Does the expression
"No man is an island" ring any bells?
Does the expression
"Shut your ass up" ring any bells?
What now?
I have to go visit
a friend of mine.
- Can I go with you?
- No.
Oh, well, I would
really like to go with you.
Look, everybody
in this neighborhood knows my ride.
- Nobody messes with it.
- Okay.
- # Big booty b*tches, well... #
- Oh!
# Like to dutch,
another one bites the dust... #
Cortez.
Manny, where you at?
You hiding
under the bed again?
Woo! Manny.
- A.T.F.
- Yeah, this is Vann.
Would you send a bag wagon over
to Manny Cortez's place?
- The gun dealer?
- Yeah, he took the deluxe cruise
up sh*t's creek...
compliments
of a.45 to the chest.
No.
Hey! Hey!
Good afternoon.
Out of the car.
- Oh! Oh! Oh-ah!
- Whoa! What are you doing?
Ooh.
- Oh!
- Hey!
This was not a good idea.
Oh boy! Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Drives pretty good.
You idiot! Moron!
Well, you left the keys
in the ignition.
Not the smartest thing
to do for a policeman.
This would be a good time
for you to be quiet.
I know that's nearly
impossible for you,
but if I hear the sound
of your voice right now,
I can't be responsible
for my actions.
So this would be
a very good time for you to shut up!
I have a small question.
I still have a question,
and I think I'm entitled...
What?
Do you have a plan?
What the hell
is that supposed to mean?
If you fail to plan,
you plan to fail.
Just a little constructive
criticism, okay?
That's how two people
working together help ea...
Whoa whoa whoa whoa!
We're not working together,
so get that thought out of your mind.
Nobody said
- we were working together.
- Excuse me.
You dragged me
into this,
and I'm giving a speech
at 10:
00 A.M. Tomorrow,so the sooner you start
treating me like a partner...
Hey!
We are not partners.
Ain't no way in the world
that can happen.
Well, what am I
then? Hmm?
What are you?
You are my b*tch,
that's what...
my own personal b*tch.
I pulled you out
of lockup as an S.W.C.,
which means "Suspect
Who's Cooperating,"
which means
I own your ass,
which means
when I pull the strings, you dance.
Till then, you sit there,
keep your mouth shut
and don't say a word
like the puppet you are.
Hey, yo, Booty.
Hey, Booty,
what's up, man?
Let's go, come on.
- Pass the ball, yo.
- What up?
Booty!
Oh damn, man!
Hey! Come on, man!
Ah! Ah... ah... hey!
Booty, we never
finished our conversation.
Man, I told you
everything I know, man!
I will cheese-grate
your ass through this fence.
Oh, come on, dawg.
Look, I don't know no more! Wha... ah!
All right, all right, all right!
Sh*t, all right!
Would you get that phone book
over there for me?
- Who's this guy?
- Man, I don't know his name.
Look, would you get
your car out of my ass, please...
- Thank you.
...dawg. Ow!
Now who are those guys
you hooked me up with?
- I need names.
- Man, they gonna kill me, dawg!
- They gonna kill my whole family!
- Names!
- Ow!
- Hey, just give him the name.
- Give him the name.
- Name!
- Look, I can't!
- Just... just let's have a name.
- Look, I can't! Ow!
- You know what?
Make up a name!
Give him something!
- Look, there's no name here.
- No, they'll kill me.
He doesn't have
the name, uh...
Look, all right, all right! Look,
the dude in the picture, his name is...
- Joey Trent, man.
- Good, good name. That's a good name.
- That's a good name.
- No no no, that's... that's a real name!
- All right, keep talking.
- Look, I didn't know nothing
- about no cop getting killed.
- Yeah, right.
- Well, who's Joey's boss?
- I don't know.
Some dude
from out of town.
- Then give me an out of town name!
- I don't know his name, man!
- Oh, sh*t! Uhn!
- I'm out of it. I'm out of it.
Look, the dude's
named Kane!
The crew boss name is Kane, man.
Now that's all I know,
other than he have a bad rep.
Dawg, look,
- I swear on my Moms on that.
- Who hooked you up with Joey?
Man, Cortez, dawg.
Ooh, not a good sign.
Cortez is dead.
Man.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Okay.
Well, that was him.
You lucked out, Holmes,
but we will continue this conversation.
- Shut up, man.
- Oh, and, Booty...
watch your ass.
Man, you broke
my gold tooth, dawg!
- Where we going?
- Uh, Lucky's Bar and Grill in one hour.
