You ain't goin'.

Hey, this is fun.

Have you got

your headlights on, man?

Oh, yeah.

Sh*t.

- Turn left up ahead here.

- I thought the strip joint was on devaulle.

Look out, man!

Boy, that guy sure

came out of nowhere.

Good thing we're

already paralyzed.

Yeah.

Don't go anywhere.

Raymond, Raymond hill,

this is the ghost of all

your past white p*ssy.

Bloss. Oh, sh*t.

Oh, man.

What time is it?

A man's gotta get his sleep.

Not tonight, man. Tonight I'm

taking you out to eat some crow.

Wait.

What-what are you doing?

Get dressed, man.

What are you doing?

We're gonna go see

Annabelle Lee.

Bloss, there ain't no Annabelle Lee.

Bullshit, man.

There ain't. I was lying.

Yeah? Tell you what, man.

I'll bet you the same $100 that you

ain't lying, man. Where's your socks?

Get dressed, man.

Damn it, Bloss.

You can't come into a man's room

in the middle of the night...

And expect him to get up out of bed.

Shut up, man.

Forget the bet. We'll go out. We'll get drunk.

We'll go get some p*ssy, man.

What, is this place so f***ing good, man?

Get dressed.

Don't nobody control my life. This is my life.

I do with it what I wanna do.

I'm gonna call the nurse...

If you don't get out of here.

Hey, is he coming?

Oh, man.

It must be the wrong place.

Look. We're out, man.

We might as well party.

Okay.

Ten bucks, big guy.

Ten bucks?

Yo, I need 30 bucks, man.

Thirty bucks?

Jeez.

Give me some money for a tip.

How do you like that, sang?

Here you go, bro.

Coke or juice?

Juice. Forget the juice.

Three cokes.

Seats by the stage over there.

Hey, look who's here, man.

Who is that?

Check him out, man.

Hey, Les.

Les, buddy.

Les, my man.

Lester.

- What the hell are you guys doing here?

- Little night pass, man.

Hey, Les, does your wife

know you're here, man?

Does she know you come

to places like this, bro?

Nine dollars, gentlemen.

Yo.

You took my money.

I'm-I'm broke.

Nine dollars, gentlemen. My main man Lester

over here is gonna pay for it, honey.

Thanks, Les.

Tip me a dollar.

You really are a charmer, Les.

You really are.

How'd you like that, Joel?

Pretty good.

Pretty good, man?

She was serving you up hair pie, dude.

What you want, cool whip on it?

Give her a hand

and hand her some green.

That luscious lady's

name is Stephanie.

All right. Peking's a city

in China but tipping's not.

Show a little appreciation

for this lovely creation...

Yeah, baby.

Named Stephanie.

Thank you. They're bound to

notice you guys gone by now.

Maybe you ought to

be getting back.

Hey, man. We came here

for a reason, all right?

So why don't you just chill

out on all the bullshit?

You know, if we were

a zola novel right now,

we would be just

symbols of society's decay.

That's so f***ing obvious.

But if we were a flannery o'Connor

short story, you know what?

There is no telling which one of us might

find redemption in a place like this.

It's true.

Redemption.

You guys ready for a little

more sweet entertainment?

Let's hear it now.

Okay, Tarzan, just take it easy.

We got your Jane comin' out right now.

Here she comes, the fabulous Annabelle Lee.

Annabelle Lee.

Give me some cash.

Why don't you bring your own money?

Give me some cash.

Do I look like a bank?

Don't be tight, man.

When troubles weigh me down

there's a place I can go

you know a guy

named Raymond hill?

A black dude?

A lady's man, missing a finger?

What, is he a friend of yours?

Yeah, you could say that.

How's Raymond doing?

He's good. You ever

spend time with him?

Spend time?

He tell you I did?

Let's just say

something slipped out.

You tell Raymond I said hi.

So Raymond won the bet?

Yeah, I guess.

It was sad, really.

I mean, all those young,

beautiful, attractive women...

Bouncing around with their

perfect breasts in the air.

Sounds sad.

You know they shave around their...

all right. Thank you.

You can spare the details.

I don't know.

It makes you...

it makes you wonder what's wrong with them,

you know? What happened to their lives?

Have to pay their rent.

Hmm.

I get out in two weeks.

I think I found an apartment

that's accessible.

Thank you. Thanks.

You don't have to thank me.

No, I do.

I want to thank you

for that. Thank you.

Have I thanked you enough?

Is something on your mind?

Why? Is something

on yours?

I left David.

I told him.

What?

I told him about us.

You, uh...

what?

What's so funny?

How did he respond?

What-what did he say?

He knew.

Yeah.

Of course he knew.

He's known for months.

So, he's accepted it

in a graceful way?

Well, he put the phone

through the living room window.

He got eight stitches.

Stay with him.

What?

Stay with him.

What? What are you

thinking? What?

What, you just decide

this for both of us?

Well, no.

I decided it for myself.

When? You figured this out

in the strip joint?

I figured it out.

Oh, I see.

I don't know what to say.

Tell me that I'm wrong.

Fight me about this.

Tell me that I'm absolutely,

100 percent wrong.

You are. You're wrong.

That's it?

That's all you've got to say?

You just hit me with this.

You can't expect me to have an argument.

Stay with him.

He's your husband.

Stay with him.

He'll understand.

I-I love you.

I love you too.

Come here, baby.

We'll go to bad movies.

You'll still be in my life.

You'll still be...

I'm sorry.

Oh, baby.

You can't use Korean words.

This is not Korean.

What, "bozo"? You're a bozo.

This is a Korean word.

You can't use this.

You can't use Korean.

You can't use vietnamese.

You can't use Chinese.

You can't use Mexican.

You gotta use

f***in' English words.

Yeah, hello. Hey, Bloss.

Bloss, old buddy, how you doing?

What? Who is this?

Raymond, man, Raymond.

Oh, man,

it's motherfucking cold.

It's Joel, hold on.

Hey, Bloss, it's for you.

He didn't wanna put

his words on, you notice?

Don't be lookin' at my letters. You got some

more three-point wonders waitin' over here?

He sounds drunk.

What do you want, Raymond?

Hey, Bloss, how you doin', man?

I'm doing good man. I'm hangin' out playing

scrabble with my mother and sang, man.

Oh, yeah, sang. I'll bet

he's kickin' your big butt.

You okay, Raymond? I'm great.

I broke out of that old people's place.

- What are you talking about?

- I found it. It's perfect.

I-I ain't seen

no Cadillacs come by.

But the bus come by

every 20 minutes.

Aw, sh*t. There goes one now.

Listen to me, man.

Don't do anything stupid, okay?

I'm just waitin' for the bus, Bloss.

Tell me where you are, man.

I'm just waitin' for the bus.

Ray, tell me where you are.

I don't know. Some street, man.

What f***in' street, man? Look up at the

street sign and you tell me where you are.

Ready to put you through.

Motherf***er, man!

You didn't have to

hang up on me.

Aw, f*** it then.

I heard him.

He was dead serious, okay?

You gotta tell the police.

They gotta put out an a.P.B. On him.

Look, Bloss, we already called the convalescent
