She's just crazy.
Go ahead!
Billy.
Ow! These people
are perverts.
Billy!
What?
The carpet's on fire.
Oh, sh*t.
Don't move, honey.
Put your arm down.
Come on in here, honey.
Oh, sh*t!
Sh*t!
Don't you get
in that truck!
Billy, you can run,
but you can't hide.
The great Joe Louis
said that.
You believe that?
Time to take
a little ride.
I'm telling you,
I lost the money.
I swear to God,
there's no money.
Goddamn it, Billy.
The shave was working.
It was beautiful.
Nobody would have known.
Why didn't you
go through with the fix?
Guy said
I couldn't score.
He called me
a honky motherf***er.
You are a honky motherf***er.
But I can score.
We were the team,
and you betrayed us.
Life is a bunch
of bad trades.
One week.
Where's your
hot tamale girlfriend?
Where is she?
I liked her.
She left me.
Oh, Billy!
Show him the f***ing
pictures!
Get up. I'm going
to show you something.
This is what happens
to people who don't come through.
See these?
Look at the Polaroids!
Look at this guy.
I swear to God,
one week.
One week.
That's all you get.
Maravich, my ass.
I got your pistol
right here, Billy.
You got one week.
Understand?
Oh, man.
Oh.
You're fakin' the funk
Talkin'
that gangster hoopla
And probably a punk
And I'm-a let you know
That this week
your ass can't cope
With your
offensive flow force
Mean kick, sidekick,
pack some nasty
Got to get smoked
like a joint
They need to be rocked...
$5.00 an hour!
Hey, hey.
Got to open the door, baby.
Cinco la hora.
Hey, Sidney.
Que pasa, Ruben?
Quiere trabajo?
No.
Por cinco a la hora.
No, no, no.
Para otra semana.
All right.
Sidney! You're late!
Sorry. I'll be right there.
Como esta?
Sidney, I've been
waiting for you.
I'm very sorry.
My wife and I want
the Spanish tile
with the mansard roof.
Mmm, how unusual.
Thank you.
But I don't
want to get
a city building permit.
OK. I can go through the city
or around it.
I can eliminate
the middleman
or be the middleman.
I'm offering the full service...
Roof, paint, plaster.
My wife and I have decided
on number 88.
Thank you.
If you write a check
to Sidney Deane...
That's D-E-A-N-E.
Sidney!
Dude.
$300 could
get me started.
Sidney! Sidney.
Hey, man,
how you doing?
I got to talk to you.
No. I'm doing business.
It's really
important, Sidney.
Thank you.
My regards to your wife.
Tell her hi.
God bless you.
Goddamn it! What?
I'm desperate, man.
A man should never
act desperate.
It's impractical.
And frankly,
I find it
rather ugly.
I'd rather look ugly
and win than...
Shut the f*** up.
Sidney...
Gloria left me.
I'm sorry, man.
I don't know how,
but I got to
get her back.
Oh, brother.
You know, I got this
grave human weakness,
a tiny little spot
in my soul,
that actually likes you.
It's horrible to admit,
but everybody has got
a cross to bear,
and you're
my damn cross.
What's that
supposed to mean?
It means
I'll help you.
Yes!
Don't kiss me, man.
I got no guarantees.
What are you
going to do?
I got an idea,
but you're
going to owe me.
That's what
I'm talking about!
You in my house.
What's up with you?
Oh, what you want now?
Pete, I don't need no pick.
You ready?
You ready?
You call that "D"?
Where'd you go?
You call that "D"?
Where are you?
Yeah!
Whoo!
That's what
I'm talking about.
This is my house!
So where you going?
Got a job, baby.
Robert, you're smooth.
Looking almost
as good as me.
Ah!
Yo, Billy,
why don't you get that money
you won,
buy some
new clothes?
Robert, are they still making
them TV game shows
at the studio
you work for?
All the game shows
are done on my lot.
She's been trying
to get on that lot.
Robert, can you
get her on?
Nobody gets on my lot
without a pass.
I'm a security
guard, man.
Can you do it for me,
as a favor?
Ball breaker
break your balls?
She broke my heart.
Heart, balls... Details.
Give me
one reason
why I should do anything
for this guy.
I'll owe you.
He'll owe you.
OK.
Tell you what,
I'll give you
one shot from there.
You make it,
I'll let
your girlfriend in.
You miss,
I get your car.
No problem.
Yo!
No, no, no, no.
Billy boy,
this is Ghana.
You, my friend,
are shooting
for the Sudan.
Huh?
Ha ha ha!
Yeah.
And a hook shot.
And a hook shot!
Don't look at me.
It's their court.
It's their rules.
You want me to punt it?
Can I use my right arm?
He can't make it.
Yes!
