When Will I Be Loved

---

It isn't lucrative.

Yeah, you got to always consider

the cost preparation. Ask Uri.

Hold on a second.

Hello? What's up?

I'm good. I had a great meeting today.

Damon Dash. Great meeting.

Yeah. Hold on a second.

Let me take this, man.

Yes, Damon is definitely... Hello?

Damon is definitely building the studio.

I'm definitely producing,

and you are in.

Listen to me very carefully.

This is my year.

I have two guaranteed shots

at blowing up. Number one:

Damon Dash is buying a movie studio

and making me his top producer.

And number two:
if by some freak

accident his deal falls through...

then Count Tommaso Lupo,

this billionaire Italian media mogul...

is desperate to hire me

as his right-hand guy.

Yeah. Check out Belize.

It's off the coast of Mexico.

It seems to me

they've got very bribable cops.

- Ford!

- I'll call you back.

- Where have you been?

- Hey, sweetie!

- It's been two years!

- How are you?

No! Where have you been?

It's been two years.

You remember $9,300, what I gave

you when you were a bum?

Are you still a bum?

I want my money, $9,300.

- You seriously hitting me for $9,300?

- I called. I sent e-mails.

You haven't returned

any of my messages. Are you crazy?

- This is incredible.

- Where is my money?

- I was talking about you...

- No! $9,300! Let's talk about that!

...with Damon Dash. Are you finished?

I don't care about Damon Dash.

No, I'm not finished.

- Go ahead, finish.

- I want $9,300. Remember that?

- I gave it to you when I didn't have it.

- You should finish.

- And I felt sorry for you!

- I'm producing two films with Damon.

- I want $9,300. I don't care about him!

- He's building a film studio.

- I don't care!

- Showed him pictures, you'll be a star.

- I don't care about being a star!

- I was just talking about you.

- I want $9,300.

- And he loves the idea. This is classic.

- I don't care. I want my money.

- You want $9,300?

- Get away from me. I want my money.

- I'm offering you $93 million.

- I don't want it.

- And you go for chump change.

- We'll talk, after you show up with it.

- I used to think you're a moron.

- I'm wrong! You've got a psychosis!

- You are wrong. I want my money!

It's like a self-destructive disease!

- You're crazy!

- I wish you were a moron.

- I want my money. $9,300.

- Look around.

- I am not looking around.

- You will always remember you blew it.

- I want my money now!

- A chance at fame for cigarette money.

You want it? I'm going to a meeting.

I've got $10,000 in my jacket.

- Hand it over! I want it right now!

- Are you sure?

- Give it! Don't look at me like that!

- Are you positive?

- I want my money! Now!

- This is the moment.

- The ship is sailing away.

- Give me my money!

- You're killing the golden goose. Fine!

- Right now! That's all I want.

You're pissing me off so much,

I'm going to give it to you.

You don't have it. Liar!

- I'm not gonna 'cause you're a moron!

- You're such a liar, you make me sick!

- You're sick, destructive. Won't give it.

- I want my money!

Goodbye, moron!

Remember this moment.

Oh, my God!

Ford, don't walk away from me, Ford!

Excuse me,

are you Prof. Ben Rabinowitz?

Yes. You must be Vera. Great to meet

you. I had no idea you were this lovely.

Thank you.

- What's up?

- You're late. That's what's up.

I had a meeting in the park.

- This is not a meeting?

- What you got?

Listen. 1-900 phone calls.

Are you familiar with that kind of stuff?

- I'm sure you made a couple.

- A few.

We could set up an account,

outside of the country.

Let me ask, as I'm interested

when someone applies for a job...

as an assistant, because it's a job

that can be any number of things.

What do you want from this job,

and what do you want from life?

Where are you in your life now?

Wow, that's a big question.

You'll need bribe money

for the local cops.

It's not a lot of money.

You know what I mean?

You got to check out

what's the best place. Bermuda...

It's a safe common thing because

they're out of our jurisdiction out there.

I read the book you just published.

- Horror of Horrors, yes.

- Very interesting.

- Prof. Rabs.

- Hey.

- Hey, how you doing?

- This your friend? How you doing?

- This is, I hope, my new assistant.

- How you doing?

- This is my guy I was telling you about.

- Yes.

Ready to do the damn thing.

Good. What I'm doing is these guys

are gonna come into my class.

- It's open season. Trying to mix races.

- You're going to work for this guy?

I'm going to try to.

Carol!

Gas, gasoline prices are going up

like crazy. I got a guy...

bringing in... He owns

a gas station down in Brooklyn.

What we do is

mix a little water with the gasoline.

They're gonna come in thinking they're

gonna get a lecture prepared by me...

and instead I'm going to step back

and turn over the hour to you...

and just say to them,

"Experience this reality."

Hey, Carol!

Not enough

to mess up the actual cars...

but just enough to make it worthwhile,

you know what I mean?

No, you get a layover on... Listen.

You get a little layover on the money.

What are we, the consultants?

The f***ing thing adds up. We go in.

We set up the guy.

Why is this funny to you?

It's remarkable how one book

and one course...

can serve to bring out

all kinds of people...

and connect and erase

artificial boundary lines.

- People are plagued by sexual-

- Is that Mike Tyson back there?

Hey, Carol! I don't believe this sh*t.

Excuse me. Mike Tyson.

I'm Hassan Al-Ibrahim Ben Rabinowitz.

I'm a professor of African studies...

at the university here. And I would

love it if you would come to my class...

to talk to my students because I think

they could benefit greatly from you.

Listen, brother, I'm not who you

believe I'm to be. I'm Buck, n*gger.

I'm Buck from Minnesota.

You don't know me.

Take the finance pages. There were

two stocks with the same symbol.

One was on NASDAQ. One was

on the American Stock Exchange.

One was worth 50 a stock

and the other was worth $75 a stock.

- You're not Mike Tyson?

- No, n*gger. I'm Buck.

- I thought you were Mike Tyson.

- I'm Buck. I don't give a f***!

- F***ing Christ! Hold on a second.

- It's perfectly legal. If you got the...

Sh*t. I'm sorry, Ford.

It's Buck, n*gger.

I'm pimping in the light. Now, go on.

If you knew better, you'd do better.

Get the f*** away from me.

All right. Okay.

You know, bin Laden, Sharon,

intermediator, Midwest crisis!

Good luck, Buck.

I don't believe this b*tch.

You should look into this other thing.

What are you looking at?

Look over here. Listen to me,

I got this porn thing happening.

What do you got?

Distribution of porn. Bringing in these

beautiful girls from Kyiv...

Moscow, Saint Petersburg.

These girls are working for nothing.

- What do you do?

- I'm retired, actually. I work out a lot.

- You do. Where do you work out?

- Sport Club Reebok.

- Really? Me, too. Yes.

- Do you?

Your name is?

- Vera Barrie. And yours?
