-Why come to me?

-'Cause you know how he would get

if he saw what they did to me.

You're his main guy, right?

Do what you gotta do

to this Iying piece of sh*t.

Wait! Wait. Okay. Wait. Stop! Joshua!

-Hey, what the f***?

-Stop, stop. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

-Okay, see?

-Okay, okay.

Joshua, all I was trying to do

is make a few bucks

selling his stuff, and he starts

talking to me about all this sh*t!

Just don't tell Vincent, please.

He'II be so f***ing mad at me.

I am telling you the truth now.

I swear to God.

-You better be, you f***ing junkie.

-F***!

-Vincent.

-Come on in.

Sorry to wake you.

I thought it might be important.

Actually, I wasn't sleeping.

I was f***ing,

and if you think it's important

then it probably is.

Joshua, I want to thank you

for having the good sense and courtesy

to remove your shoes, so as not

to track in the filth of the outside world.

Take your shoes off, Mickey.

Sh*t, I'm sorry.

The good news is,

I didn't track anything in.

Can you detect things that exist

on a microscopic Ievel?

In the future,

when you come to my home,

I want you to take off your shoes.

I don't want to tell you again,

'cause if I do,

you won't need shoes anyway,

'cause I'II cut off your f***ing feet.

-Got it, Vince.

-Vincent.

Say my whole name

or don't say it at all, please.

Yes, sir, Vincent.

Let's sit down, shall we?

Well?

Apparently, a cat by the name

of Frankie Tahoe wants you dead.

That's not exactly what you want to hear

at 1 :
00 in the morning.

Is there any time of day

you want to hear that sh*t?

Who the f*** is Frankie Tahoe,

and where'd you hear this?

He's a Puerto Rican drug dealer.

Jeff told me.

Why didn't Jeff call me himself?

-Vincent?

-Yeah, baby.

-Did you offer the boys any coffee?

-No.

-Why not?

-'Cause they don't want any.

Well, how do you know that

if you didn't offer?

Because when they're working for me

I make decisions for them,

and I've decided

they don't want any f***ing coffee.

Jesus Christ, you are the worst host.

-Would you please watch your mouth?

-Look who's talking.

Do not take the name of my savior

in vain.

You know, you wouldn't even offer him

a cup of coffee.

He doesn't drink coffee.

Would you please do me a favor

and go back to bed?

I'II be up in a minute.

Go back to bed.

Like what you're seeing, Mick?

What?

Come on. There's a...

I mean, she's beautiful, but...

-I would never do that.

-Go wait outside.

-It's f***ing freezing outside.

-Get the f*** out of here.

So, Jeff's been selling this dude's dope

on the side.

Okay, that's why he didn't call me.

What do you make of it?

It's not the first drug dealer

that wanted you dead.

-Yeah.

-But I don't know that I trust Jeff.

He's from my old neighborhood.

I trust him.

-Guy thinks he was abducted by aliens...

-I know, I know.

AII right, here's what I want you to do.

Find out exactly

where this guy is right now.

I'm gonna go get dressed.

Hey, Vincent? There is one other thing.

What is it? What's the problem?

You need money? What is it?

-No, no. It's not that.

-Where do you think you're going?

I'm going to Disneyland.

It's 3:
00 in the morning.

Isn't that when everybody

goes to Disneyland?

-Give me a f***ing break.

-What a smartass.

And you know what?

I don't Iike you talking to me Iike that.

AII right, all right, all right.

We'II talk about it Iater.

Hey.

-Jeffrey, how's things?

-They're fine. They're great, Vincent.

-So, how's Katie?

-What?

-Katie? How is she?

-She's good, yeah.

She's starting high school soon.

We're gonna take care of her,

you know that, right?

-You get enough visitation?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, Jeff, tell me about this Puerto Rican.

Frankie. Yeah, Frankie Tahoe.

You in trouble with this guy

or something?

Why?

Look at me.

I need to be 1000/0 sure that what

you're telling me is on the Ievel.

Yeah, Vincent. I wouldn't Iie to you.

You know that.

-He do this to your face?

-Yeah.

-I wouldn't tell him nothing.

-Okay.

No, Vincent. No.

You don't have to sell dope

for these scumbags.

You need money, you come to me.

I know. I know.

Thanks, Vincent. Sorry, Vincent.

Jeffrey.

This is f***ing unbelievable.

This f***ing guy.

F***ing respects him

more than he respects me.

-This guy's a f***ing Iowlife junkie.

-He's got history with this cat.

-Come here!

-F***!

Sh*t.

-Where's your piece?

-Easy.

It's cute.

My grandmother's got one just Iike it.

-You know who I am?

-Yeah.

-You know why I'm here?

-No.

Interesting.

How Iong have you worked

for Mr. Tahoe?

A few months.

Now, here's the most

important question.

In that time,

do you think you've developed

a relationship worth dying for?

No. F*** that.

Good answer.

-Give me your driver's Iicense.

-What?

F***.

Easy, big boy. Easy.

Looks Iike

you've Iost some weight, Gregory.

Yeah, I've been cutting back

on the carbs.

What the f***, man?

-Put your hands behind your back, B.

-For your own safety.

-Okay, well, in that case, all right.

-Yeah, good.

Yeah, I'II play with you guys

for a Iittle while.

-Turn that music down.

-Yes, sir.

Okay, we can talk.

I got a couple questions for you.

That's good, man.

'Cause I got a couple questions for you

my damn self,

you know what I'm saying? First one is,

which one of these two Iittle b*tches

right here

gonna give me a Iap dance?

Joshua, you wanna give him

a Iap dance?

Trip, man. Got chocolate over here.

-How was that?

-Sh*t.

F***. That's not really

what I had in mind, but...

Okay. Okay.

Listen, before we begin,

I want to give you some advice.

When you're dealing with me,

there are two things

that will always save your ass.

Honesty and respect.

Now, those are your cigarettes.

You mind if I have one?

Yeah, yeah, go ahead, man.

Help yourself, man.

Why don't we all have one,

you know what I'm saying?

Got a Iight?

You're a good Iittle b*tch, huh?

Lighting him up Iike that.

You know,

I can't smoke in my own home.

My wife won't Iet me.

She's 1 10 pounds soaking wet,

but she's got the heart of a drill sergeant

and the mouth of a sailor.

But, f***, I married her, right?

Do what you do, man,

you know what I'm saying?

I married her, so I have to answer to her.

Everybody's gotta answer to somebody.

I answer to my wife. I answer to God.

Who do you answer to, Franklin?

Well, first of all,

I don't answer to Franklin.

You know what I'm saying?

I didn't Iike it much

when my mother called me that,

and it sure as hell don't sound

any sweeter coming from your ass.

-Fair enough.

-And the whole married thing,

too much p*ssy out there in the world,

man, to be married, right, right?

You feel me? And God,

he went right out

the motherfucking door, homie,

once I was old enough

to think for my damn self.

Now, that says a Iot about you.

-Is that right?

-Yeah, it does.

You have a problem with authority.

By being an atheist,

you reject the existence

of the ultimate authority.
