Uncertainty
Is today the day?
I don't know.
Maybe.
What's your gut tell you?
That I'm nauseous.
How about less literally?
I'm afraid of deciding.
I'm not afraid
of either scenario,
but I just want this
to be something we're doing,
not something we're not doing.
What does "this" mean?
"This" meaning
whatever we decide.
Well, "this" sounded like
some kind of decision.
No.
It wasn't.
What are we gonna do today?
Brooklyn or Manhattan?
That's not
what we were talking about.
I know what we're
talking about.
What do you want to do?
Hey.
What?
Why not?
We can't do that.
Why not?
Hey.
Hey.
Hi.
Hello.
good idea to get my mom flowers,
so we'll stop at a florist
on the way.
She'll like that.
Yes, she will.
Can I take credit?
It was my plan.
Dim sum.
Dim sum.
Is it cool we're not seeing
your family for the barbecue?
Yeah. It's great.
I needed the excuse.
I can't be around them today.
And I'm the perfect excuse.
No, I wasn't trying
to make you--
No, it's all right,
'cause your mom adores me
so much anyway.
Hold on, there's a seat belt
in my ass.
What is this?
Did you get a new phone?
No.
My God, this is, like,
the 2010 version.
Someone is hating life
right now.
Let's just give it
to the cabbie.
No, no, wait,
don't give it to him.
Don't give it to him.
Come on, let it.
No, no, no.
Why?
He won't give it back;
he'll just sell it.
Don't you remember
I lost my phone just, like,
a month ago in a cab,
and I never got it back.
If you give it to
the cab company then they'll--
they'll call the people that--
No, they won't.
They won't.
So what are you, like,
a Canadian Mountie?
Gonna save the phone?
Why you got to make it
about Canada?
I'm gonna get it back
to whosever this is.
Hi, my name
is Bobby Thompson.
I just found this phone
in the back of a cab,
and I'm trying to get it back
to its rightful owner.
My number is 917-817--
Why are you giving them
your number?
What?
Sorry. My number
is 917-817-65--
And, we'll try to figure this out.
Okay, thanks.
What?
Why would you be calling,
leaving your name and number
when the person
who lost this phone
is just gonna call
their phone number
and expect somebody
to answer it?
You don't have to go through
their roster
of friends and family.
Just don't--
Hi, my name
is Bobby Thompson.
Don't leave your name.
Why not?
Excuse me, I'm sorry.
It's yours.
It's not in my purse.
Probably your mom.
Don't answer it.
Yeah, it's your mom.
Hi, Sylvia.
Keep the change.
Hey, thank you.
Thanks for not taking
The Bowery.
Hey, I got a call
on this thing.
Bobby, careful.
Hello?
It's Perez, you assfuck.
We had a deal for that phone,
didn't we, Dmitri?
I think you got the wrong guy.
I've had it with this bullshit.
I just picked up this phone.
Who was it?
Was it the guy?
I don't know.
I'm going inside.
Go ahead, go.
Hello?
I'm so glad
that you picked up.
My name is Dmitri.
Yeah, I found your phone
in the back of a cab.
Hi.
Be about 10 minutes.
Man, I'm glad you called.
I've been calling around.
I left a few messages.
What are you talking about?
Who did you call?
Who did you call?
I don't know,
but some guy just called back.
He said his name was Perez.
Perez?
Okay, look, I need to come
get phone right now.
Don't call anyone else.
Where you are?
What is address?
The address?
Address!
It's...
it's 40 East Broadway.
Okay, I'm getting in the taxi
right now.
I'm wearing a red jacket,
okay?
Red jacket.
Red jacket, okay?
How will I know who you are?
I... I'm wearing
a yellow T-shirt.
Hey... how come your mom
thought we might not be coming?
When did you talk to my mom?
The phone just now.
I told you not to answer
that call.
You didn't know
it was your mother.
If I ask you
not to answer my phone,
you shouldn't answer it.
You can't just not answer
the phone.
That is not my rule.
Wasn't that the turn?
Sh*t.
You got me flustered!
Sorry.
My God.
Is that a stray?
She's gonna get hit like that.
Do you see anyone
she belongs to?
She came from over there.
Come here.
Come here.
Careful.
Come here, girl.
She's nice.
She's gentle.
Where's she coming from?
I don't know.
Where are you going?
She just licked my hand.
Where are you going, doggie?
Here, she's got a tag.
"Tiger."
Maybe we shouldn't go
to Fitz's party.
No?
I'm gonna want a margarita.
now and then.
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe not.
You're kidding.
I'll be right back.
And I'll wait in line.
Hello?
Hello, my name is Dmitri.
I must have left it
in the taxi this morning.
Okay.
Where are you?
I'd like to come get it.
You know, someone else
named Dmitri just called
and said it was his phone.
I don't know
who you talked to,
but that's my phone,
and I need to get it back.
Can you bring it to me?
No.
What do you want?
I'll pay you.
You hear me?
Where are you?
No, man, I'm here
at a restaurant in Chinatown
with my girlfriend.
Where are you exactly?
The address here
is 40 East Broadway.
You can come down here
and work it out with
the other guy if you want to.
What? Don't give that phone
to anyone else.
What's going on?
It belongs to me;
it's my phone.
I don't know who you talked to,
but it's mine.
Look, I don't know
what the deal is.
You can work it out with him.
Actually, he's already here.
What?
That's my phone,
do you hear me?
Was that gunfire?
What just happened?
Can you hear me?
Just get out of there.
You're in danger,
do you hear me?
Take the phone
and get out of there.
You're in danger.
Come on!
No.
It's okay.
He didn't follow us.
It's okay.
You okay?
Bobby, is that man gonna die?
Yeah, he's dead.
It's okay.
It's okay, all right?
Listen.
Listen, look at me.
Look at me, okay?
We're safe here, okay?
We're safe here.
We're safe here.
We're safe, okay?
Just breathe.
Now, we should go and ask
where there's a police station.
There's one in Union Square.
The nearest is in Union Square.
There's one--
okay, we'll go there.
Okay.
Okay.
Don't worry about anything,
okay?
There is a downtown
local train now at Union Square.
Come on, pooch.
Look at this.
You okay? Okay?
We'll go to the police;
we'll tell them what happened.
All right?
I love you.
If this gets weird,
you just tell me.
It's fine.
Trust you and let's see,
we could do this.
Hello.
What took you so long?
Where have you been?
Look what we found.
Hey, Bobby.
Hi, Felix, how are you?
How are you doing?
Good to see you.
Happy July 4th, I guess?
Yeah, happy July 4th.
Hi, papa.
You look relaxed.
Hey, why shouldn't I be?
Why shouldn't you be?
I know.
He's sleeping.
Tip-toe.
Hi, mami.
I miss you.
Look at how thin you are.
I know, you always say that.
Hi, Sylvia.
Hi.
Hi, Bobby.
Those are for me?
For you.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
They're beautiful.
