How's everything?

Cool, man.

- Hold on, hold on,

we gotta get something to eat.

- A'ight.

Let's go, let's go,

jump in, jump in.

What, this your "Streak Free"?

- You know it.

Check it out, streak free!

- Oh, a'ight.

It's not a bad job,

know what I mean?

That pays all right, it's outside,

and no one's

looking over your shoulder.

Back in the day, you said

you'd never wear a uniform.

Yeah, I did. But I talked

a lot of sh*t back then, so.

You did a lot of sh*t back then,

too.

Things are different.

Three years sober, man.

Can't say the same here, bud.

Come on, man.

You still into that same sh*t?

It's easier to cop on the inside.

You know that.

When d'you get out?

- Recently.

Y'know, I was dreamin'

about these fries.

I was thinkin'

about how much I like them

and I was jonesin' for 'em bad,

y'know.

But it's like,

if you don't eat 'em in time,

and you let 'em get cold,

they're sh*t.

Somebody would've to force you

to even eat just one.

Had a lot of time on your hands

to think about sh*t like that, huh?

F*** you.

You like Chinese girls?

Look at that one. Mm!

Yeah, Dougie...

that's your Chinese, man.

'Cause she was nice.

Lookit.

Lookit, lookit, lookit, lookit!

How much this guy pay you

to do this anyways, man?

Why, you want a job?

- No, all I'm saying is,

whatever he's paying you,

he's making like three times more.

You should get out

from underneath his--

Don't worry about all that.

I got it, I understand all that.

I'm just saying,

you should go out on your own.

Go out on your own.

How you doin', man?

Why don't you grab a shammy

and squeegee and do some work?

That's a funny-looking hat,

but underneath that hat is -

y'know what I'm sayin'? -

it's all about what's underneath--

Why don't you grab a shammy

and a squeegee, man?

If I bring you to my place of work,

I expect you to work, bro.

You want me

to work for you now?

I just got out of two...

I'm not gonna work for you!

So you still seein' that girl,

Chantal?

No. Uh-uh.

Too bad, man.

She was nice.

So... so what's up with you

anyways, man?

I'm gonna check out Roshanna.

Roshanna!

Yeah, I heard

she was getting engaged.

What are you talking about,

engaged?

She's not getting engaged, man.

What are you talkin' about?!

- I probably heard wrong,

y'know what I mean? It's--

- No, you heard wrong!

We were just takin' a break, man.

We didn't break up!

We said we were gonna

take a break. That is all!!

Same old Dougie.

We interrupt your broadcast

with a breaking news bulletin.

An escaped prisoner may have

made his way into the city.

Twenty-six-year-old

Douglas Shannon

walked out of Collins Bay

Correctional last night.

He is described as male, Cauc--

Look, man...

I'm still on probation,

y'know what I mean?

I got it.

I can drop you off somewhere,

man, you know--

It's cool, man, it's cool.

I got it.

It's not much,

but you know how it goes.

Y eah.

- Be good.

Hey, Mommy.

Mm. Sorry, I could not wait.

I didn't say anything, Chantal.

No, come on.

I'm eating and you smell sweaty.

Go shower.

Go.

Go, please.

So you feel anything today?

- Mm, a little.

Kinda felt like swirls.

No kicks today, though.

How was work?

You know same ol', same ol'.

What about you?

I threw up three times.

Mm.

- Mm.

What?

Nothing.

So why are you looking at me

like that?

Like what?

I can't look at my wife?

Hmm?

- Mm-mm-mm.

No, because I'm fat.

- You're not fat, baby.

Yes, I am.

- You're pregnant.

And what, are you supposed to be

skinny when you're pregnant?

Mm. Actually, I have to pose

for my swimsuit issue next week.

But right now,

I have to pee, so watch out.

Ah...

Ah...

What?

Oh, sh*t!

Hello.

- Alton, is Roshanna engaged,

or not?!

- Aw, come on, man!

I don't know! I told you,

I probably messed up!

You're such a f***in' liar,

Roshanna!

I'm gonna f***ing kill you!

- No!

Who are you talking to?

- Uh, nobody, babe.

Listen,

I gotta take care

of some powerwashers, okay?

Pick me up some ice cream?

- Y eah, yeah, yeah.

What kind, what kind?

- Um... I dunno, maybe--

Listen, I'll call you in the store.

- Alright. Get me some of that...

Rocky Road!

Doug!

Doug!!!

Sh*t!

I don't know what else to...

Don't f***in' do this to me!

I don't know what else to say!

I told you what's happening!

You didn't tell me

what's f***ing happening!

Dude, you guys

remember each other, right?

Doug!

What the hell is your plan?!

You gonna kidnap her

until her father gets home?!

Don't be f***in' ridiculous.

- This is crazy!

No, you're the only

who gets to be ridiculous.

Keep it up--

- You're hurting me!

Hey! Hey! Doug! Doug!

You're not f***ing thinking ahead!

Please! Doug,

this is why we always got caught!

You can walk out right now!

Just f***ing go!

Hey, I'll go if you come with me!

This is ridiculous!

If we leave now, nothing happens!

- Oh, sh*t's gonna happen, man!

I broke out of jail,

I got a f***ing gun!

Yeah. Doug's got a master plan!

- Shut the f*** up!

Get out of my house.

- Your house?

This isn't your house,

it's your daddy's house.

Okay, get out of my father's

f***ing house. Now!

You think I enjoy this,

coming back here

and having you yell at me?!

- What did you come back here for?

You know why I came back!

- Doug!

It is over! It's over!

- That's how you treat people, right?

Doug, relax.

- First sign of trouble,

and you just f***in' take off?!

- What?! First sign of trouble?

Doug, you just broke out of jail

for armed robbery!

How else am I supposed

to compete with all this?

You don't have to!

You never had to!

That's... Shut the f*** up!

That's why you went off

with what's-his-name

and his f***in' trust fund?

- Holy sh*t!

We had an understanding!

That's not fair!

That's right,

we had an understanding!

We said we could see other people,

not go get f***ing engaged!

You want some water

or something?

Uh, yeah.

Come on,

this is f***ing crazy, Doug.

You never offered me

any f***ing water.

Alton isn't waving

a f***ing gun in my face!

Hey, hey, hey.

- Can I go get him a f***ing drink?

Yes!

Make me a sandwich.

Montreal smoked?

A little Dijon?

Yeah.

If I make you this sandwich,

will you go?

Yes. I'll go.

Ahem.

I don't wanna be here, man.

I don't wanna be here!

I came all the way from my house

to make sure

you didn't do something stupid!

Gimme the gun!

Doug! Let me get--

Doug!

- Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.

Okay.

There you go. There we go.

Thank you.

Alton, you hungry?

Tch!

- You're gonna make me eat alone?

Huh?

- Yeah!

Suit yourself, man.

Ahem.

I'll have a ginger ale instead.

Are you kidding me?

I'm so sick--

Please, please!

Please, just get him the ginger ale.

You need to chill.

- I'm chilled, man.

Let me get the gun, man.

F***in' unbelievable, man.

Remember who used

to look out for you.

Remember who's here right now

looking out for you.

This is bullshit!

Give me the gun.

Selfish, man.

Ahhh!

- Oh, sh*t!

Run!

Run! Run!!!
