The Preppie Connection Page #3

No, no, no. I'll take

the whole thing for $550.

$600.

You know, we can divide

the lines.

No, no... I... I'll,...

I'll take the whole thing

for $700.

Okay, wait, hold on.

Going once.

Going twice.

$700 to Ellis

if he gives me the money.

Easy, man.

I mean, we're all,

we're all friends here.

That's okay. Yeah.

Just give me the cash.

It's a pleasure doing

business with you

Yeah, no problem.

Come on, let's go.

See you...

Get out.

This is my room.

We gotta get more

of this sh*t.

So what's it like

in Colombia?

Where my family's from,

it's beautiful.

-You should come with me.

-Really?

Fidel was constantly

talking about Colombia.

Fidel, from Sage Hall.

I think I told you about him

invited me to go to Colombia

with him... and his family.

Colombia?

Aren't you far away, kid?

It's not a safe place

to travel.

So is it true there's a lot

of cocaine down there?

There's so much of it

some people use it

as currency.

In the barrios,

that's how it is.

We don't know his family.

Well, his dad's

an ambassador.

An ambassador?

A door was open.

I decided to go through it.

How much is the ticket, Toby?

He offered

to pay for it.

What would you say

if we went down there

try to pick up a little bit?

You know, just enough

to party with.

You mean with Ellis

and the guys.

And Alex?

Well, yeah and you too.

You know, if we can get some.

You said yourself

you wanted to hang out with him.

And they're all over

that sh*t.

Well, if his parents are okay

with it, I... I...

Yeah.

We are too.

We needed to raise money.

A lot of it.

So I started making my routes.

Ellis

Come in.

Ben.

Laura.

It's my parents' donation.

Alex.

I'll put it to good use.

Everyone put money

into the first trip.

We had almost $3000.

I did my research on Colombia.

Even stayed up late to watch

a night line on the drug war.

The drug cartel's had huge

amounts of money

weapons and influence.

Journalists and politicians

were killed.

Kidnapping and chaos

could pop off anywhere.

I knew what I was walking

into, but I didn't care.

Honestly, I was excited.

So are you gonna help me

with this?

I mean just tell me

where I can get it.

Fidel's house was pretty

much a palace.

Servants, bodyguards.

I'd never seen

anything like it.

How much?

Just tell me how much it is.

I wanna get it, it's a gift.

-For who?

-For Alex.

As the ambassador,

Fidel's father

was pretty strict

about where he let us go.

There were only

a few tourist spots

that he had thought

were safe enough.

He sent a bodyguard to keep

an eye on every move.

Welcome to Colombia.

The Edge.

One of Colombia's

most notorious drug barrios.

What do you want, gringo?

Do you where

I could find...

cocaine?

I can get you

whatever you want.

Okay,...

Half a kilo.

$3000.

Yeah. Okay.

You have the money?

Yeah. Yeah, I got the money.

Show.

Show the cocaine.

Show the cocaine? Okay.

Okay. I'll show

you the cocaine.

I'll show you the cocaine.

Cocaine. Right away!

Where is it, gringo?

Where is it?

You know you should be

dead right now.

That was smart

but not that smart.

Why don't you just keep it?

Or kill me?

That is not my business.

I am not a thief.

Cocaine...

That's my business.

And you are Americano.

I love Americano.

You're full opportunities.

And you made me laugh. Come.

It's okay.

I don't care what he wanted.

He's a boy and Manuel

was supposed to protect him!

Look, I'm sorry.

It was my fault.

I went off on my own

a... and then these guys

just came out of nowhere

and jumped me in.

They took all my money

and then by the time I came back

Fidel and Manuel

were already gone.

It was a really stupid idea.

I don't ever wanna lie

to my parents like that again.

Yeah.

You left this.

Talked it down to

almost nothing.

Thanks.

Passport?

Countries visited?

Colombia.

Purpose of your trip?

Well, my friend

has some family down there

so we're just visiting them and

seeing the country which was great.

Did you buy anything you're

bringing back into the states?

Just this.

So what did you do

in Colombia?

What did I do in Colombia?

What did I do in Colombia?

What did you do in Colombia?

I...

I lost my virginity.

Must've been quite

a trip, kid.

Yeah. Thanks.

The campus was empty.

Not everyone was back

from the long weekend yet.

It was my favorite time

in Sage,

when the students were gone.

Rather than spend another

weekend with her housekeeper

Alex never left.

I think she liked

the solitude.

Hey.

-I got you something.

-What are you doing here?

-I thought you'd like it.

-Yes, it's...

That's okay.

You don't like it.

What's wrong?

I can't believe you did it.

Yeah. Of course.

Eighth of a key.

Ever see that much?

That's some midnight

express sh*t, man.

Yeah, but he didn't

get caught.

Well, what the f***

are we waiting for, right?

I mean, I'm just gonna take

a little bump, make it quick.

See how it will work in with.

Let's see. Here.

Well...

How is it?

It's pure, I mean,

there's, there's nothing in it.

What do you mean?

I mean, usually they mix

this sh*t with lactose

soap, baking soda but this

This... this is... unique.

Do you guys realize

how many schools there are

in a 20 mile radius from here?

Well, you're not thinking about

selling this sh*t. Are you?

Why not? I mean, you took

your share and the rest is mine.

I can do what I want with it.

Look, I... I'll buy

the rest of it.

How about that?

Okay, do you have the money?

Well, look man, I can't give

it to you right now

but I just need

a little bit of time.

That's what I thought.

I'm sorry, man. It's just...

Time's up. You know.

-F***.

-F***.

Just a second.

Just a second.

It's king of Mexico.

God.

Yeah, tell him to come in.

Hey, Fidel.

You ready to party?

What is it?

I mean, what's it look like?

Toby, Toby, where the f***'s

he going, Toby?

Hey. Hey, what's wrong?

You made me look

like an idiot.

Look, I just...

I never thought you'd make it

through customs.

I thought that

this is what you wanted!

You know... just hang out

with all of us.

You know, you can be

a part of this.

I don't want

any part of this.

I... I'm Colombian.

Don't you understand?

I can't just be caught

dealing in cocaine!

Hey, hey, ssh, ssh.

Just calm down, okay.

What, so now you're just some

some kind of drug dealer?

Shut the f*** up!

Shut the f*** up!

Shut the f*** up.

My father was right

and you Americans

just use people

for what you want.

You know it must be easier

to be so self-righteous

when you're as rich as a king.

You never gonna

have her, Toby.

No matter how hard you try.

She's gonna use you up

and spit you out.

No. No.

Just... just stop.

Then ask him for a loan.

He's my kid brother.

What do you

have to be proud of?

Now, you got me there.

One hundred

and twenty five grams.

One eighth of a key.

The deal I made with

the Preppie's was that

for rescuing my neck

in Columbia I get half

or 62 grams for myself.
