Welcome to Pine Hill Page #2

---

It's a process.

It takes time, it's

gonna knock you out.

You're gonna lose weight.

You're not gonna feel great,

but it might buy you

another six months.

Do you have any family,

friends... a girl?

No, not really.

Do you have insurance?

No.

[ News, Indistinct ]

[ Sighs ]

[ News Continues, Indistinct ]

[ Retching ]

[ Coughs, Vomits ]

[ Groans ]

[ Gasps Softly ]

[ Typing ]

So on a scale from one to 10, how

bad would you say the damage is?

Eight. Did you end up

going to the hospital?

Uh, no. The paramedics cleared me at the scene.

I was... I was okay.

Are you in therapy?

What?

Are you in therapy?

Physical therapy?

No.

"No." [ Mutters ]

- You go to a physical therapy office.

- Right.

Not a doctor's office.

Right.

I don't know what to tell you, but

this is really, really irresponsible.

The car hit me. You are in charge of

taking care of the car's policy holder,

or whatever,

and you don't wanna pay me.

[ Cell Phone Buzzing ]

Hello?

What's going on?

I'm at work right now.

I was at the second job, you

know, doing the bouncing thing.

Yeah.

Oh, man, well...

It was crazy.

The whole bar was fighting,

throwing chairs, throwing bottles...

flying through the air,

you know.

It's, like, I busted up my hand

taking out this guy's teeth.

Huh?

Huh. It was a few guys.

They took me out?

No.

I know.

I got some bills to pay and

some people to pay back, so...

I'm gonna make

a little bit more money.

Man Rapping, Indistinct ]

It seems like one of those jobs that's

pretty easy to kind of just... pick up.

If you know the right people though.

Yeah.

Lily, can I get a soda water?

Yeah, sure.

Do you want anything in it? Bitters?

Just straight, fine, thanks.

How's it going, man?

Pretty good.

How was your night tonight?

Wasn't that bad.

Oh yeah? You didn't have

to bust any heads?

No, not tonight.

[ Chuckles ]

He busted a million heads.

Hey, man, so I want to know...

Um, you ever been shot at?

[ Lily Laughs ]

[ Abu Chuckles ] It seems like the

sort of thing that might happen...

to a bouncer if you're working

at a certain kind of bar.

Ah. I've been shot at

about four times.

I think I would've remembered

how many times I'd been shot at.

You see, I try to avoid situations

where people might be shooting at me.

But you, you enjoy... You walk right into them.

You get paid to do that.

That's your profession, right?

[ Scoffs ]

If I was a cop,

that would be my profession.

[ Man ] Yeah, I guess you're not a police officer.

What you do is a little different.

You're still here, right? That's what counts.

You've been shot at,

but you're still here

sitting at the bar.

That's true.

[ Man ] Lily, where did you go to college?

Did you go to school?

I sort of went to school, yeah.

[ Man Chuckles ]

Did you go to school, Shannon?

No.

It's all right, man. You don't need a

college degree to do what you're doing.

You know what I mean?

Hmm.

So where did you grow up, man?

You grow up around here?

I grew up in East Flatbush. What

was it like growing up out there?

A lot of kids in the neighborhood,

they just ran wild...

and... just being stupid.

[ Man ] I've heard about it in rap songs, I've...

I've seen news stories about it, I suppose.

So it's like that.

It's like 50 Cent says.

That's exactly how things go down.

[ Laughs ] Not though.

Personally, I don't

really know you that well,

but I don't... I don't know what the f***

you're talking about, to tell you the truth.

[ Laughs ] My personal opinion.

I mean, what are you

trying to say?

I just said it. You don't know what

the f*** you're talking about.

I'm sitting here, I'm trying to

have a f***ing conversation...

with the bartender here.

It's been a long f***ing night.

[ Mutters ] It's time to

wrap things up, I think.

You went to college. You learned all

what you had to learn in school,

and you're still dumb as f***.

So shut the f*** up. I mean, I'm...

You're not the first person...

I appreciate you insulting it, but I don't really

care what you think about me, to be honest.

Now, you shut the f*** up, or

I'll make you shut the f*** up.

Come on, man. I mean, I don't think physical

violence is really necessary right now.

[ Bottle Shatters ]

How many times I gotta say?

Man, come on. [ Lily ] Guys, this

is f***ing retarded. Stop it.

I mean, just chill the f*** out.

Guys, stop it, seriously.

It's the end of the night.

I really don't want, like...

You're here to, like, stop people from fighting.

I'm gonna clean up the bar, man.

[ Lily ] Everyone just... I'll... [ Man ] And

I'm so gonna get your ass f***ing fired.

[ Lily ] I'll just... I'll just close

up, like, seriously. [ Man ] F*** you.

[ Lily ] Just don't...

[ Beeps ]

So where you from?

[ Driver ] Hmm?

What country... What country you from?

Ecuador.

Ecuador, huh? You been

here a long time?

No.

You don't speak much English, do you?

[ Chuckles, Coughs ]

[ Abu ] Ecuador.

You got donkeys and stuff?

Yeah, right, no English.

You've probably never been back

since you've been here, huh?

All illegal and sh*t, right?

[ Laughs ]

Huh.

Get a pain in your gut

and adios.

[ Abu Chuckles ]

That you understand, huh?

It's freaking stupid, man.

Die of something

you can't even pronounce.

Okay.

[ Dishes Clattering ]

[ Water Running ]

Take these out later,

'cause we made 'em already.

Okay. Now what else?

Okay.

Okay.

[ Chattering ]

[ Dog Barks ]

[ Knocks ]

[ Knocks ] Okay, okay. I'm coming.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

I'm coming.

Wow.

How you doing?

Oh, I don't know.

I don't know.

- What's going on with you?

- Been around working.

Been around working.

Yeah, that's fine.

Doing what? I got a job. I

work at a insurance office.

Huh.

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

One hundred percent sure.

Can I trust you?

I got a good job now.

I'm doing good for myself.

[ Woman Arguing, Indistinct ]

Here come loudmouth.

Lord, have mercy.

[ Arguing Continues ]

You don't have no respect for me.

[ Woman ] I sure don't.

You can just leave it at that.

See nothing changed.

Yeah, sure ain't.

[ Chuckles ] Sure ain't.

Yeah. I came back with

the money I had for you.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

I told you I'd pay you back.

Mmm.

A lot of times when you tell me stuff

like that, you don't follow through.

I changed, Ma.

Mmm.

Things are different now.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

That's clean money. Told you I have a job.

I work in midtown Manhattan now.
