I got issues.

Who doesn't have issues?

Everybody's got issues.

Well, life's not comfortable.

It's not boring.

When you're on the streets,

you never know
what you'll find around a corner,

what you'll find in a bin.

You can make a left, you can make a right.

It makes no difference.

I'm not scared of anything.

Nothing scares me at all.

But don't think that I haven't lived,
because I've lived.

Lately on beans and juice,

molly and junk,

fent and blow.

They all bring me places.

Zanny brings me home.

Probably shouldn't have eaten
that dumpster burrito.

-You're going to say something?
-What, I got to say something?

It's a big bust.

It's the cherry on top of your career.

Sure,
but they don't even have a conviction yet.

They don't even have a trial date.

Yes, but they have all the evidence,
it's a slam dunk.

Everybody's going to take credit,

so I think you should be prepared
to say something.

How about all you paper pushers
get off the daos?

Fuck you very much.

Hey, buddy, you can't be lying here.

Do you need to go to the hospital?

What did you take?

Let's get him up.

-Should we take him in?
-What for?

-Let's just get him out of here.
-I got to have a shit.

Jesus, there's a bar here with a restroom.

-Can you make it in there?
-I got to stay with my stuff.

Nobody's going to take your stuff,
come on.

-There's a restroom in there, go.
-All right.

I need a shower.

-Can I order another?
-Absolutely, just keep drinking.

-Hey, where's your company?
-I'm not expecting any.

-Do you want some? I'm off in an hour.
-Not really.

How about some fries with that burger?
It's on me.

What exactly do you think
that order of fries entitles you to?

Hey, watch the place for me,
I'll be back in an hour.

Four more vodkas, please.

Hey, come back tomorrow.

My pickup lines
will be a whole lot better.

Hey, Kasha, take blueberry.

I want to try blueberry.

I have other ones.

Here, try these ones.

They might be nicer.

All right.

Now this is blueberry.

Bottoms up.

So, what do you think?

I have bubblegum.

Back Monday.

This should hold a shower curtain.

For Christ's sake, Milo,
they're napkin rings, not a wedding cake.

The catering needs a decision.

Hey, fella?

Where are you going?

-Can I use your restroom?
-No.

-I won't mess it up.
-No, restrooms for customers only.

Jack me.

I'll be right back.

This is a nice establishment.

No, they're fucking with you.

I should piss on the floor.

No, that's crazy,
and don't steal the towels.

Why not?

Anyway, should I do?

It's our last little bit.

I'm not giving you permission
to be an asshole.

I got to get back to the stuff.

-Five cents a can.
-Ten cents a bottle.

A dollar a round.

Jeez, no! Hey, no!

Buddy, the restroom is out of order.

It's okay.

Jack, trade up.

Look, I prefer you have your drink
someplace else.

-I'm paying.
-I don't care, go someplace else.

You stink,
and you're bothering my customers.

-I'm not bothering anybody.
-You're bothering me.

You should get a job,
take a bath, clean up your act.

I would like a job,
except I don't know much about anything.

Except for my liquor.

I know my liquor.

Yes, I bet you do.

Yes, you should keep your Patrons
with your Patrons.

Silver, Reposado, Anejo,
and where's the Don Julio?

I don't see Don anywhere.

-If you don't go I'll call the cops.
-Call them.

You going to say you won't serve someone
like me and who knows their liquor?

Who the hell drinks bubblegum
and peanut butter and jelly vodka?

I'm calling.

Calling.

It's like a sit-in.

Deep in my heart

I believe that we shall overcome.

Okay, listen.

Just one.

They like living on the streets.

They just bask out there in the sun
getting high all day.

What are they using?

They're totally using.

-They shoot up in porta-potties.
-They're alcoholics.

They don't want to stay in shelters.

Lots of them are mentally ill or illegals.

You can't even walk
into a public bathroom these days.

They can't be here,
and you can't tell them that.

We didn't reorder as much
as we did last month.

It's been slow, holidays maybe.

I can add a couple of specials
on some foo-foo drinks if you'd like.

I don't know, maybe.

Oh jeez.

Do you know this guy?

Just some homeless dude.

Some homeless dude going in.

Homeless people come in
and use my bathroom now.

I didn't invite him,
he just has a drink here once in a while.

Still, is he stealing stuff?

You don't know what he's doing in there,
grabbing soap, paper towels.

No, I checked, nothing seems out of place.

Yes, but you don't know
if he's in there washing his underwear.

Well, no.

Christ, he could be shooting up,
jerking off.

-I don't know.
-Yes, you don't know.

How often does he come in?

He used to come quite often,
not so much anymore.

I just think it's nuts
letting a guy like that even come in here.

-Get rid of him.
-How?

How? What do I care how?

Tell him adios, arrivederci.

You could use the word, leave.

I don't care, just get rid of him.

Hey buddy, same.

Could you get over there
and kick the bum out?

Go.

Jesus Christ.

Speed, we're not serving you anymore.

If you're running low on Jack,
I'll take Johnny.

It's not the type of whiskey,
it's you we're not serving anymore.

Is that the boss?

I'm the boss.

-You're fucking with me.
-I'll fuck with you if you don't leave.

Is that what you want?

Yes, that's what I want.

Positive?

I'm positive.

-Is that a positive yes?
-Stop fucking with me, Speed.

Just one pour and I'll go.

I'm not giving you one pour.

You'll just sit there
and stare at the glass for an hour.

Sometimes you've got to treat a whiskey
like a beautiful woman.

You got to stare at it a little bit,
then romance it a little bit.

I didn't say that, somebody else said it.

Hey, how are you doing?

I'm Murray Adler, I own this place.

Speed, they call me Speed.

Buddy tells me
you're a pretty frequent customer.

I suppose I am.

Any reason why you choose my place?

It's on my way home.

Where's home?

-Fifth Street.
-Fifth Street, under the bridge?

Ten city?

You know there's another bar
that's even closer to where you're living.

I like your place.

I appreciate that.

Your clientele
could use a little cultivating.

The clientele could use…

Are you listening to this asshole?

What do you mean
my clientele could use some cultivating?

Nothing, I'll have my drink.

He's not going to pour you a drink.

Listen to me,
I'll not coddle you like my bartender.

I want you to leave,
I want you to leave now.

I think I'm being a nice guy.

I'm asking nice,
I think I'm being very polite,

but if you don't leave
I'm going to have to call the cops.

There's not a good reason not to serve me.

I don't need a reason, okay?

I know this is not my business,
it's your place.

I get it, it's bartender 101.

You need a little bit of order here,
you put your Bourbons with your Bourbons,

and your scotch with your scotch,
and your ryes with ryes.

You don't want people navigating
through a maze of bottles to find a drink.

Your limes, all have brown edges.

These weren't cut today,

it's old and people will know you use
old products, and it doesn't look good.

Some snacks, some salty stuff,
just get some chips and some pretzels.

Salty stuff is cheap,
it makes people thirsty.

A little bit of entertainment,
just a little bit of guitar and piano.

Can you just take it easy, all right,
for a second.

It'd be great.

I used to be a bartender.

What'd you do, drink the inventory?

I didn't drink the inventory.

I got out of the army, I got a job,

I got married,
I lost my job, I got divorced.

I feel for you.

I had friends, I had drinking friends,
until drinking became my only friend.

Why do you keep coming back here?

Just like you said, you don't even like
the way I run the place, right?

You could do far more with your money
at any liquor store.

You collect cans for Christ's sake.

You don't know how much money I have,
I got plenty of money.

Enough for a drink.

-Not enough for a tip.
-I don't want your tip.

-You want to know why I don't tip?
-I don't care.

It's because he waters down the booze.

I know the taste of water
as well as I know the taste of Jack,

and I know when I'm drinking
watered-down booze.

Why do you keep coming back here?

I used to drink, a lot,

but ever since coming here
and drinking Buddy's watered-down booze,

it's been a little like rehab.

I think that in just a little bit,
in just a week, I'll have it, I'll be dry.

Why don't you go home
and water down your own liquor?

Who comes to a bar to get sober?

That's just crazy.

Out there, when I drink
I'm just a homeless guy getting drunk.

Here, when I saddle up to the bar,
when I saddle up to your bar,

I'm somebody, here I'm somebody.

Nope, still just a homeless dude.

You stink, and that's why you got to go.

You want to know
why else I like coming here?

Here I can look across the bar
and look down at somebody else.

I might be living on the street,
but at least I'm not a thief, okay?

Hey, back off!

-I don't have to listen to this shit.
-Get out of here.

Jesus, are you all right?

I'm sorry that you feel
Buddy's watering down your drinks.

I have to think of my bottom line,
it's just business, right pal?

Just one more and I'll go.

One more.

For you, sir.

I have appreciated your hospitality.

I don't even want you
stepping near my place.

Because I don't need a bum like you
ruining my business, how's that?

Fuck, are you kidding me?

-Can you believe this guy?
-Some people.

Jesus!

You never know what you'll find
when you turn a corner.

Look at me, all cleaned up.

I'm a man reborn, who now pours drinks

for the financially solvent,
privileged people.

Doesn't get much more
obladi-oblada than that.

Behind this bar, you look like a priest.

I'll listen to your woes
and dole out 80 proof indulgences.

You can act a fool,

and then sort of like I'm in a confession.

I hear all, my lips are sealed,
and I don't make any judgments.

No judgments, unless I'm asked.

-You voted for an asshole.
-So you can ask.

Hey, do you guys need some nuts?

Nobody likes to be alone.

Some people say that it's an opportunity
to find themselves, but that's bullshit.

If one tells you they like to be alone,
it's more than likely nobody likes them,

or just as likely
that they don't like you,

because nobody likes to be alone.

Yes.

I'd love you to see it.

I need to go talk to a colleague,
can you just give me one second?

-I'll be right back.
-Fine.

-I'll be right back for you.
-You better be.

Didi.

Oh hi, Milo.

-How have you been?
-Good.

The way the market is,
I guess good's good.

No, maybe just okay.

Okay is good.

Let's catch up.

Catch up?

Gin and tonic.

I'm buying.

No, not right now.

Wasn't your hair longer before?

Yes, I cut it a few weeks ago.

It's great.

And you've lost weight.

I wish.

You look great,
and you're doing well for yourself.

-How's that?
-I see you driving a new Mercedes.

Hey, do you know anyone
that wants to take over a lease?

Anything new on the market,
anything I should know about?

Not really.

You need listings, Dina.

Buyers, sellers, you need to advertise.

To make money you have to spend money.

To spend money, you have to have money.

However, I've got a new flyer coming out.

Okay.

Very old school.

You need a polished website,
link in, network,

but paper still has its place.

Four-fold raise type.

Nice, huh?

Expensive.

Keep it.

It's a new pocket listing
on a five-mil remodel on Mulholland.

This place, top of the grade.

Pool, view, five bedrooms,
a wine cellar, even a theater.

It's pricey to sell, but you never know.

Look, if I don't have a buyer
in a couple of days,

would you want to sit by Mulholland?

You'll pick up buyers, high rollers.

Sure, absolutely.

See, I don't want to be dealing
with a lot of grazers in the office.

Just you.

Are we good?

Yes.

I want to be friends, Didi.

Maybe we could go out sometime.

Yes, sure.

So, about the Mulholland,
I'm doing you one.

I need you to do me one.

One what?

-I need a favor.
-If there's anything I can do…

-I need to borrow your car for some hours.
-My car?

Just for a couple of hours.

Didi, I'm doing you one.

If you bring me a buyer on the Mulholland,
hey,

it's real money.

Come on, please.

What happened to your car?

I don't have it tonight.

Look, do me one, please.

You're a sweetheart, thank you.

Look, Saturday,
you and I go for a ride in the Porsche.

You'll have your sports car
fixed up by this weekend?

Fixed up?

No, it's not in the shop, it's at home.

Then why don't you just drive home
and switch cars?

Because Evie's home.

You remember Evie?

Evie?

No, I don't know Evie.

Yes, you do, you met her at the…

What's that place?

No, maybe you weren't there.

Anyway, I told her
I needed to go furniture shopping.

She told me to take the minivan.

It's my fuck up.

Evie is your girlfriend?

We're sort of engaged.

Engaged.

Look, Milo, I've got a huge deductible.

Don't worry about your car,
nothing is going to happen to your car.

Look, have a few drinks on me.

I don't drink.

Who's your client?

I'll show it to her, and be right back.

Hey, you're a gem.

This place has a white bear's skin rug

in front of a picture-perfect view
of the Pacific Ocean.

-The world is full of bastards, isn't it?
-What?

I asked if you'd like anything else.

-Nothing.
-Nothing?

I can roll the clock
on back to happy for you.

Happy hour?

All right, rum and coke.

-A lemy.
-No, just make it a coke.

Just a coke.

Yes, I can drink, or not drink.

It's okay, just that I've never seen you
order any alcohol.

I figured you're either a Mormon
or a Muslim without the head thing.

Both my parents were alcoholics,
so I don't drink.

I don't like the genetic risk factors.

Genetics, that's the excuse.

Just that everybody has a vice,
everybody is addicted to something.

Whether it's drinking,
smoking, overeating, drugs.

I figure you pick one vice and enjoy,

because if you pound down one vice,
another one pops back up in its place.

If you'd like a drink,
you should have a drink.

Okay, screwdriver.

Screwdriver coming up!

No, just make it a virgin, just OJ.

All right.

I hate to lose a good customer,

but a wise man once told me
that coming and sitting at a bar

when you're trying to stay sober
is not the smartest of things.

I'm waiting for somebody
to come back with my car.

Give me vodka.

No, bubblegum vodka.

What are you drinking?

Orange juice.

Screwdriver?

No, it's just orange juice.

Orange juice, oh nice.

Orange juice is nice.

Orange juice, oh nice.

Old commercial.

My name is Viktor.

I'm not much in the mood
for socializing tonight.

Do I look like I came here for a hookup?

I'm being friendly.

I'm sorry, I'm Dina.

Where are you from, Dina?

Here.

But where do you come from?

Covina.

I was born in Covina.

Okay, your family,
where do they come from?

They moved to Covina from West Covina.

Okay, a long, long time ago,

your family were Indians,
or were they immigrants?

Where do they come from?

I was told that
maybe my great-great-grandfather

came from the Ukraine.

Ukraine, I knew it.

We're compatriots.

Are we, where are you from?

-Are you ICE?
-What?

-Immigration?
-No.

-You have to tell me if you are.
-I'm not.

You're not ICE,
not police, state, or federalis.

Definitely not federalis…

Look at you murdering my language.

-Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
-You hashtag, killed it.

Are you a Russian?

You know.

What do you do, Dina?

I sell real estate, I'm a realtor.

That's good.

I like real estate.

You put a picture on the wall,
a bed in the bedroom,

a woman on the bed.

It's called home.

I had a lot of houses.

Hey, bring one more.

Florid orange juice
for my friend from Ukraine.

I'm a salesman too.

I sell favors.

Like party favors?

Like I make you a favor
and you pay for it.

If it's a party you want,
I can give you a party.

-Do you want a party?
-No, I don't need a party.

What do you need, Dina?

Nothing.

Well, buyers, I need buyers.

-Buyers.
-Yes, for real estate, buyers for houses.

I know buyers.

What do you have?

Right now, I don't really have.

Yes, I do.

I have a new listing on Mulholland.

But it's expensive, five million.

That's not expensive.

It's not?

No, it's not, and it's a bargain.

This house of yours,
does it have a bowling alley?

No.

I like to bowl, my friends like to bowl.

Maybe you could put a bowling alley in.

The place has a wine cellar.

Yes, I like wine.

Also a movie theater.

Oh, I like The Rock.

Wally, who doesn't?

The gentleman,
he calls himself Dwayne now.

It's his name, but I like him.

Tomorrow you're going to call me,
I'm going to bring my friends.

We're going to be your buyers.

That'd be great.

See, I just did you a favor.

It would be nice
if you did one for me too.

Oh boy, another favor.

Somebody already has my car.

Why would I need your car?

I don't know.

Dina.

You are a woman that comes to a bar
and drinks orange juice.

You don't care what people think.

You don't drink,
you stay sharp, you make deals.

Yes, that's me.

Half an hour ago, my friend told me
that he had seen Kasha,

my beautiful little Kasha,
leave this place with a man.

You would have noticed her.

-I've just been sitting here working.
-Yes, but you would've noticed her.

I don't notice those things.

No, of course not,
but she doesn't blend in.

You would have noticed her.

So, have you seen this man
that she walked with?

Jeez.

Talk to me, my compatriot.

Viktor, I don't want to get anybody
in any kind of trouble.

Maybe they just went to see a movie.

There is no Dwayne playing.

Or bowling?

She doesn't have any balls.

You have friends and you have enemies.

No one in between.

-Are you my friend?
-Yes, I'd like to be.

Of course,
who wouldn't want to be my friend?

Viktor, I just don't want to see
anybody get killed.

Killed?

Is that what you think of me,
that I'm a killer?

I don't kill people.

I'm like a teacher, I teach them lessons.

Yes, but…

That's for my protection.

Second amendment.

I like the first one even better.

No search without a warrant.

But if you want my promise,

this is my promise to you.

-What is this?
-My new listing.

I know, tomorrow.

Viktor, go right now
and check out this listing.

Picture yourself on a white bear skin rug

with picture-perfect views
of the Pacific Ocean.

I think you'll find what you like there.

Screwdriver.

For some events in life,
it's the right place at the right time.

Others, wrong place, wrong time.

Sometimes,
they're the same place, same time.

-I just got a new client.
-Yes, what do you do?

I do people favors.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm looking for a Nate Vigil,
old guy, suit and tie.

-I think he's in the restroom.
-Thank you.

Nate, Nate Vigil?

Do I know you?

District Attorney's office.

The Bene Simpson case,
it goes to the grand jury next week.

I'm handling it.

-You're awfully young to be an ADA.
-You're awfully old to be a cop.

I went to the evidence locker today.

-Yes?
-Yes.

Okay.

There is 20,000 dollars missing.

Bullshit.

You're surprised.

Yes, I'm surprised.

Well.

Well, what?

-Do you think I took the money?
-You signed for it.

I didn't take any money.

Okay, it's not my job,

but the detectives will be looking into it
when I bring it up tomorrow.

Why are you telling me this?

You may not remember, but you caught
a skinny foul-mouthed teenager

with a bunch of stolen credit cards
and you gave me a second chance.

-That doesn't sound like me.
-That was you.

You tossed every fuck you I gave you,
with a fuck you right back.

That sounds like me.

I got my act together.

I went to college,
law school, and here I am.

Yes, I'm a big fan of affirmative action.

Look, I'm here because I owed you one.

So I suppose
if the money was there in the morning,

I wouldn't know it was missing.

-I didn't take any money.
-It's not my problem.

What am I supposed to do?

You're a detective, figure it out.

Fuck me.

I'm not an athlete.

Never happened.

When I was in high school,
my dad had me go out for boxing classes.

He thought it would make a man out of me,
so I took the classes.

I got the hell beat out of me.

I got my nose broken,
I got knocked out numerous times.

Lost on decisions.

For all intents and purposes,
I was a loser.

I can't tell you
how many times I was in my corner,

that I didn't want to get out.

There was no way
I was going to beat the other guy,

and I was hurting.

My father would shove me out there.

If you're still standing he said,
you've got a chance.

Might've been the only thing
he was ever right about.

Of course, no, we can do the salmon,
Frankie, it's fine.

I think our guests
would prefer the grilled miso

instead of the mustard dill.

Yes, we are so simpatico right now.

I love you.

I love you more.

I love you infinity.

I got to go.

Have you seen my specs?

Shit.

I'm sorry.

Goddammit.

Davy, this is the second pair
that you've fucked up for me.

I'm sorry, I'll buy you another pair.

You're goddam right you will.

What's the matter with you?

You are preoccupied about what?

Wedding plans.

Oh, wedding, right.

Expensive, I bet.

Not really.

No, just that we're keeping it intimate.

Come on, Davy.

All right, it's a couple hundred people.

Frankie's family's paying for most of it.

What's the matter?

I got some issues
down at the station, that's all.

-Things I got to figure out.
-Like what?

Just things.

All right.

Oh, Goddammit, the cold.

Are you going to go to the dentist?

Eventually.

Maybe.

No, I'm not going to pay
thousands for implants.

Remember flossing will do.

Sure, floss,
that ought to take care of it.

342, 342, respond code 275,
assault, domestic.

4271 Pepperwood Drive, Mulholland.

The witness called 911.

That's us?

Sit.

Wait.

Suspect described
as a white male, six foot, early 30s,

wearing a red leather jacket.

344, cancel 343,
we're en route to handle it.

-It's Fraser.
-Yes.

343, Roger, canceling run, 10-8.

I knew Fraser would take it,
Fraser is a zealot.

We were closer.

I don't like to go on domestics.

You can put yourself in a crap bath
in six months after I've retired

and at home on the couch.

But right now, no domestics.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Just get the patty melt.

-You like the patty melt?
-Yes, patty melt.

Two patty melts, fries, extra crispy,

but put them on a paper towel.

Soak up as much of the grease as possible.

-You got it.
-Thank you.

The arthritis meds?

No, I ran out of those.

This is for the ulcers
that my arthritis meds caused,

and for the other shit that happened.

Did you sign up for that 401K
we talked about?

Yes.

Did you make that startup contribution
like we said?

Yes.

How could you afford that,
with the wedding?

It was just a couple hundred bucks.

That's all you put in?

I know you said
make the full contribution

but I know social security
is not going to be there when I retire.

I can't afford it now,
the wedding is in two weeks.

Yes, the wedding,
you're going to go through with it.

What does that mean?

Nothing.

Oh my God.

You've never been in love, have you?

Hey, I'm not talking love with you, Davy,
all right?

What if you change your mind?

-I'm not going to change my mind.
-You could.

I know the way you think.

You said if you don't make any commitments
then you can never be disappointed?

I'll have someone to spend Saturday nights
with for the rest of my life.

Hey, I don't spend Saturday nights alone,
lover boy.

So, are you coming?

I don't think I can make it.

Weddings are not my thing,
but I'll get you a gift.

-You don't have to get me a gift.
-No, I'll get you a gift.

Just don't get it.

Do you want to see the ring?

The ring?

You bought a ring?

Of course, I bought a ring,
I'm not a savage.

Wow, how much did that cost?

Why are you so interested in the way
I spend my money all of a sudden?

Money makes people
make stupid fucking decisions.

That's all.

Like buying rings they can't afford.

I got a deal.

Yes, it looks expensive.

Man, two-carat diamond
like this costs upward of…

I know what rings like that cost.

You stole 20,000 dollars
out of the evidence locker

to buy a goddam wedding ring.

I knew it.

I knew it.

I so wanted you not to be a crook, Davy.

What the fuck were you thinking?

Buying a goddam faggot wedding ring.

-That kind of language is reportable.
-You think?

I think you need to take
that sensitivity class, Nate.

They gave me the job
of showing you the ropes

because they thought a hardass like me
could whip your little ass into giving up.

But I'm a professional, I do my job.

I don't care
if you're wearing fishnet underwear.

All I give a fuck
is if you do the job right,

but I can't do anything about this.

You're going to go down for this, Davy.

I didn't take the money.

How did you afford a ring like that?

It was 300 dollars.

-A two-carat diamond?
-It's zirconium.

The guy told me no one but a jeweler
would tell the difference.

I guess it works.

Hey, I think that that's the guy
we just got a call on.

What?

That Caucasian,
30-something, red jacket, six foot.

No, he doesn't look that tall.

-Red jacket?
-Red jacket.

Step out, get behind him, we'll see.

No, don't get too close, Davy.

Gun, gun!

Holy shit.

I'm a professional, I do my job.

I don't care
if you wearing fishnet underwear.

All I give a fuck
is if you do the job right.

But I can't do anything about this.

You're going to go down for this, Davy.

God, did he get into an accident?

It was a collision,
his head against the hood.

Wouldn't be able to tell the difference,
I guess it works.

He's going to fix it, I'm sure of it.

-Six foot.
-He doesn't look that tall.

-Red jacket?
-Red jacket.

Step out, get behind him.

Still drinking your orange juice?

With a little vodka.

Your boyfriend
was really worried about you.

He is not my boyfriend.

She is family.

He can be a pain.

You are too much, very sexy, Kasha.

Why don't you take a video?

See Roger, Valoder,
I want you to meet my beautiful realtor.

Hey you, back there,
get out of the way.

Thanks.

You know what,
take it on my phone.

Gun, gun!

What the hell?

Oh shit, I thought
he was going for a gun.

Cell phone.

You were right,
he was good for that domestic.

Got a boatload of warrants too.

But no gun.

No gun.

Next time you read somebody their rights,
could you man it up a little bit, please?

Oh, you have the right to remain silent.

Could you gay it up more than that?

It's a good thing
I broke your glasses earlier,

because if you could see,
there might've been more damage.

IAD will come here and they'll try
to fuck me out of my pension.

I'm telling you that right now.

You're still in deep shit, Davy, right?

You put these on.

Come on, Nate.

Look, I didn't steal anything,
I borrowed it.

-It'll be back in there after the wedding.
-Put these on!

I'm tired of taking shit for you.

You're all snickering behind my back.

They thought that I was like you,

but I treated you right, didn't I?

I did my job.

What will be my legacy now?

A goddam busted shooting
and a crooked partner.

Two weeks.

I promise it'll be back in the box.

My wedding gifts alone will cover it.

The grand jury date is tomorrow,
and it's got to be back tomorrow.

Why the hell so soon?

I don't know, I don't question
what the DA's office is doing.

One thing I know is that you'll go to jail
if it's not back there tomorrow morning.

I can apologize.

Apologize, are you stupid?

You idiot.

You got 20,000 dollars in small bills
you can put in there tonight?

No.

Bills with cocaine sprinkled on them?

Because they can test for that.

Officers?

What did you do with the money, Davy,
you spent it on that faggot gay wedding?

No.

What then, the ring?

I told you, it's zirconium.

Then what did you do
with the 20,000 dollars?

It's supposed to be a surprise.

Surprise?

I bought you teeth.

Me?

Teeth?

Yes, retirement present,
and fucking expensive too.

Implants, crowns.

I just wanted you to be able
to fucking chew in your old age.

-Officers.
-Officers.

-What?
-What?

I do people favors.

What?

20,000 dollars in small bills,
with a taste of cocaine,

it's not a big deal.

Yes, we do people favors.

Did you need that tonight
or tomorrow morning?

Years ago, I'm buying a car,
and this old salesman comes to me,

and I recognized him right off.

He was famous
from doing commercials years before

with the shtick and the bikini models,

and the crocodile and the bear,
you know him if you saw him.

But I also remember
that he was convicted of fraud.

He went to jail, so I knew he was a crook.

I still ended up buying a car from him

because he convinced me
it was a great deal.

Some people can get away with anything.

Are you going to show that to anyone?

You always want to upload it to the cloud,

but I have better things
I can put on YouTube.

Can I have my phone back?

Valoder, Roger, I want you to meet
my beautiful real estate agent.

Hey you, back there,
can you get out of the way please?

Thanks.

-Why don't you take it on my phone?
-Gun, gun!

What the hell?

You okay, partner?

Holy shit.

Hey.

My mother once asked
when I was to get married,

and I said when I meet the perfect girl.

She said well, I guess
you're never going to get married

because the perfect girl
is looking for the perfect guy.

Thanks, Mom.

Bergin's.

Yes, but we got a lot of assholes here,
this one got a name?

Yes, he is here.

The point is that life is about choices.

Some choices don't make a big difference,
Coke, Pepsi.

Other choices,
you got to live with your entire life.

But you still have to make the choice
or you have no life.

It's just making the right choice,
that's so damn hard.

Phone, good sir.

Enjoy.

Hello.

I am a man who believes in karma.

You do me nice, I do the same for you,

but if you do me wrong…

Viktor,
I didn't know she was your girlfriend.

Kasha?

She is not my girlfriend.

She is my niece, she is family.

I like my niece.

You, not so much.

You're holding me up for money
for hitting on your niece?

Holding you up?

Do you think I'm that kind of a person?

The money is not for me.

It's for my friend,
the real estate agent, Didi.

You treated her badly
and you damaged her car.

You pounded my head into her hood.

But you are responsible, it was your head.

You have to pay.

Please, put the money
in a paper bag, not plastic.

It's bad for animals.

I will be coming soon.

Don't disappoint me, do you understand?

Got enough?

Almost.

Thanks.

I have it, I have your money.

What money?

Is this all about money?

Hi, Mom.

If it's money you need,
your father and I can help out.

It's not money,
like I said, I'm just not ready.

You can't just tell her you will,
and then you won't.

I didn't bring up that kind of person.

Maybe it's something psychological.

I'm not crazy, Dad.

Is there a problem in the bedroom?

I'm not talking
about my sex life with you.

Okay then, talk to your father.

Men can have trouble with erections, Milo,
at any time of their life.

Dad, I can get an erection.

If you can get an erection, Milo,
what's the problem, baby?

Mom, it's not about sex.

Where are you, Milo?

I'm at Bergin's having a drink,
working on business.

This is something we need
to talk about, face-to-face.

-I don't want to talk about it.
-Stay there, we're on our way.

Thank you, Jesus, he can get an erection.

Fuck.

Do you mind company?

I think I'll pass.

I'm expecting people,
including your friend, Viktor.

He can overreact.

Okay.

It's okay, sit.

You look like you needed a beer.

-No, it's okay.
-You were counting pennies, take it.

No, I don't need your money,
it was an experiment.

What kind of experiment?

Well, men have been taking care
of me my whole life.

I just wanted to see
if I could make it on my own.

Thank you.

Yes.

You get hungry standing on corners.

How much can you make standing on corners?

Some people make thousands begging,
lots more than working nine to five.

-Standing on corners?
-Yes.

You just got to figure out
the right attack on the right corner.

It's not going to be good for a baby.

Whose baby?

Do I look like that much
of a loser to you?

I'm not homeless or pregnant,
that's just my signage.

Homeless gets you coin,
homeless and pregnant gets you paper.

So you're scamming people?

Oh what, like you never break the rules?

Panhandling, that's your plan?

Until I catch my break.

I'm a singer,
and a songwriter, and an actress.

It's a tough business.

You have to be
at the right place, the right time.

You have to have talent.

What makes you think I don't?

I don't mean to say you're not talented.

You're probably very talented.

You've got the look.

What is it you like looking at?

I'm not going there.

Going where?

They're on their way.

Who?

My mom and dad.

I'm always talking to them
in uppercase letters.

Everything is loud, I have to tone down.

What message are you trying to get across?

I'm engaged.

The wedding is in two weeks.

Congratulations.

Don't congratulate me,
I'm breaking it off.

My parents are not happy about it.

Sorry.

Don't be, it's the right thing to do.

What happened?

Nothing happened,
I just don't think she's the one.

How long have you been going together?

Ten years.

What?

It took you ten years
to figure out she's not the one?

Rehearsal for what my mother will say?

No, but you're probably
going to fuck this girl up.

She'll bounce back.

How did you let it get that far?

She was always the girlfriend.

Steady, the one I took to the prom.

I still remember, she wore
this backless, strapless, blue thing.

After high school,
we both went separate ways,

different colleges, different towns.

Years ago, we made a vow

that if neither of us were married
by the time we were 30,

we would marry each other.

Stupid.

Every now and then we bring it up,
just joking.

Last month, she turned 30.

And when she brought it up again…

-Do you want to get married?
-Yes.

Romantic.

When you meet a girl
and bring her home to mom and dad,

you want them to like her.

My parents, they love Evie.

They say when you meet
the right one you know.

I don't know.

So I'm thinking it's not love.

Maybe you just like to fuck around.

Nothing wrong with that, just admit it.

No, it's not, I mean, yes.

I just think it is time to settle down.

Oh, who's that talking now, your mother?

What if Evie is the right one,

and I'm just too dense to figure it out.

-I don't know.
-Bullshit, you know.

There has got to be something
that turns you off.

What is it?

I don't really know you.

I really don't want to talk
about this anymore.

Like it?

-Beautiful.
-Thanks.

I love nice jewelry.

It's expensive, I could live
for a year off of what this cost.

Gift from a boyfriend?

No, I stole it.

From my aunt.

She never missed it.

Some people have too much money
and too much jewelry.

I was raped when I was 16.

I'm sorry.

-I don't know what to say.
-You don't have to say anything.

I'm over it.

Well, I'm not over it, but at least
I didn't turn gay or celibate.

What is it that
you don't want to talk about?

Come on, talk to me.

It'll be good to get what's inside, out.

Okay.

What bothers me about Evie,

she's freaky.

-Kinky sex?
-No.

-I'm not talking about this with you.
-Touched a nerve there, did I?

No, the sex is okay, it's not that.

Then what is it?

She doesn't like to kiss.

That's it?

Her mouth doesn't go anywhere else.

Oh, so you'll tell your parents
you're breaking off an engagement

because she won't go down on you.

No, it's not what I'm going to say.

That's not it, it's other stuff too.

Like what?

I've written poetry,
like raps to other girls.

I've never written her one.

Write one.

I'm not inspired.

Okay.

If you can't say it, rap it, or kiss it,

maybe it isn't love.

What are you going to tell her
after ten years of waiting?

-You're not helping.
-I'm just being real.

Now, if we could get her to hate you

for something other than ruining
the happiest moment of her life…

Is that them?

Yes, they're parking now.

Shit, Evie is coming too.

Let me clean this place up a bit for you.

No, don't bother.

Good luck.

I didn't want it to be like this,
one step at a time.

She has a dress, I have a dress,
we have people coming from out of state.

When were you to tell me?

I understand
marriage, responsibility, it's scary.

People have plane tickets, non-refundable.

-Is it something I did?
-No, nothing like that.

I did nothing wrong other than love you.

It's me, not you, I'm just not sure.

You've dumped dozens of girls
and you always come back to Evie.

Just tell me, what is it, really?

I can't write you poetry.

Are you nuts?

They have homework for that.

Okay, so you're not a poet,
but we're good for each other.

I just think we're rushing into this,
I think we should wait.

It took you three weeks
to pick out napkin rings,

and you think we're rushing?

I thought we could take a trip
to Vegas or Hawaii, sort it all out.

Do you think you can disinvite 200 people
and Evie's going to wait?

I want to be with you, but I can't wait.

Please, don't make it now or never.

You think you have
a lot of time for choices, Milo.

Sometimes you only have a moment
to make the right one.

We were teenagers at prom,

and it was a night of first
for the both of us.

We were both nervous and awkward,

but then we kissed,

and it was more than just a kiss.

You felt it then, and you know it now.

Milo, it's now or never.

Do you love me or not?

Yes.

Yes!

Hello, Milo.

I'm Cortney.

Milo has told me so much about you.

There you go, problem solved.

Evie, I can explain, she's an actress.

Now, there is a mischief maker for you.

Don't forget your doggy bag.

We all want a devil for under the sheets.

Saints, for dashboards.

Is it because life is basically so boring

that we need people like her
to spice it up?

I know you can find joy
in doing things you're not supposed to do,

but sometimes, there's the devil to pay.

All right, let's lock it up.

Will do, boss.

What?

Go ahead, judge.

You can love me,
you can hate me, I don't care.

I just want to feel good.

For just a few minutes,
feel good about myself, my life.

Because it's easy to feel good
if you've got money, love, sex, family.

I haven't got any of those things.

All I got.

I bet looking down on me makes you feel
pretty good about yourself, doesn't it?

Because no matter how bad it gets for you,
you can always say I'm not that guy.

At least I'm not a druggie.

The way I see it,

I'm doing a public service.

Go ahead.

-How long has he been down?
-I'm not sure.

I came back because I forgot something,
and I found him right there.

-Is he breathing?
-I don't know.

Hey, what's going on?

What happened?

Jacob?

Hello.

I'm sorry, ma'am, we're closed.

Hello, sweetheart.

Don't be scared, Jacob, sit.

You look just like my nana.

Yes.

I'm sorry, this is weird, I'm stoned.

No, it's all right, I am your nana.

-You're not my nana.
-Not your nana?

Who else would I be?

We buried her, I was at her funeral.

Yes, I know.

Everybody had such nice things to say.

Even your cousin, Joey,
never had a nice word for anybody.

Lady, who are you?

I'm your nana.

Oh my God, Nana.

Who did we bury?

I'll go tell Mom.

I'm the nana
whose chocolate-chipped cookies you loved.

The soft, gooey, ones,

who bought you your graduation suit,

who worried about that big red birthmark
on your tush.

I got to go call Mum.

All right, Jacob,
I'm not going to beat around the bush.

Look, I'll call her.

Jacob.

Who the hell are you?

Hell?

No, that's not me.

I'm not from hell.

There is no hell.

Like I said, I'll get right to the point,

without being mysterious.

You're dead.

What?

Right now, you probably think you're high,
but you're dead.

They'll be bringing your body
out of the restroom momentarily.

What a day this has been.

An hour ago, this lady on a train
in St. Louis drops dead.

I was in such a rush,
I didn't have time to eat.

She was young, 50,

but she had family history,
high blood pressure, diabetes.

She has a time bomb, she just went off.

I had to get to her first,

but you, we had a whole team on standby
waiting for you for a long, long time.

You were expected.

I don't know, Jacob.

A lot of people went
way out of their way for you.

They gave love, money, time.

We all thought
you're going to clean up your act.

No, this is fucked.

Jacob, where do you learn such language?

You don't talk like that
to your nana, to anybody.

-Fuck!
-Your nana's right, the word's offensive.

Let's begin again.

You needn't worry.

I'm not that grim reaper
they show in the movies, what a joke.

This is a joke.

I don't joke.

I'm not funny.

It's only that I've found over the years

that it's best
to first put my subjects at ease.

Subjects?

Of all your family,

you've always felt
most comfortable with your nana.

So lovely a woman.

Good heart, dreadful taste in perfume.

I just want to know
what's going on here, okay?

Go see for yourself.

Nana.

Such a shame.

Do you want a sprinkled fried chicken?

They put a little honey in the butter,
like the kind I used to make.

Come on, nosh.

All they had open was Espino.

It's not my favorite.

I was just trying to get a little high.

Come on.

Jacob, I know it's all very disturbing,

but what can you do?

We thought you'd grow out of it.

We thought you'd grow up
to be a Mitch, but you didn't.

You know what you left behind?

Guilt.

Everybody who loved you,

they're now wondering
if they could have done more.

What could we have done?

You weren't our little guy anymore,

where we could tell you
not to put things in your mouth.

I heard you say
you had no love, no family.

You had both.

You just slapped us away.

I'm sorry, Nana.

I didn't mean it.

I can change.

No, I want my nana, not you.

You can't always have what you want.

You get one life, Jacob.

Like most, you squandered it.

Most deaths are by suicide, you know.

We don't believe it, but it's true.

Quick with a gun,
a bit slower with a needle,

and sometimes they take years.

That's suicide by too much.

Too much smoking, too much drinking.

We all know that death is inevitable.

I had this young fella last week,

he went on and on
about how he was a vegetarian,

like broccoli is the key to immortality.

Cocky guy.

So there's no going back?

Jacob, you always had a good head
on your shoulders.

Good noggin, you smart.

You understand what's going on here,
what this is all about?

Of course, there's no going back.

What a pain in the ass
that vegetarian was.

He just wouldn't come along.

Did he have a choice?

No, I don't want to talk
to that other woman, please, just you.

Jacob, even your nana
likes to put on a little lipstick.

So I have a choice, I don't have to die.

Do you like this color?

Jean Vishen rouge.

Of course, you'll have to die.

Everyone has to die.

That guy, the vegetarian,
you said he wouldn't come along.

What'd you do, did you drag him out?

Take him to heaven, hell?

I told you, there is no hell.

No heaven either.

So what is there?

Clue.

There's always fried chicken.

You people, you always lose
your sense of humor in times like these.

Let's go.

I'm not going anywhere.

Maybe I'm okay.

No.

How do you know?

Figures he'd die in my bar.

You're coming?

Jacob, do you remember
I told you I used to be a hoofer.

Long time ago.

I did Broadway once when I was 19.

West Side Story.

The Chorus, Chita Rivera.

Oh, that was something.

Then I met your grandfather,
and family became another career.

But I was so disappointed in you.

The drugs, the alcohol?

Well, yes, but I was disappointed

because you never
let me teach you how to dance.

I know how to dance.

What, the gyrating business,
where nobody touches?

Look how sexy I am.

That's not dancing, it's a show.

Dancing, real dancing,
is two people, hand in hand.

It's a tandem,

and it's romantic.

If you danced, really danced with a girl,
maybe you'd have a girl.

Maybe things
would've turned out differently.

Dance with me, Jacob.

Jacob, I want you to be happy
with this business.

-Happy?
-Sure.

Why would I be happy to be dead?

For some, it's better than life.

I don't want to be dead.

I have a girlfriend,
we were going to have kids.

Now, I know you haven't a girlfriend.

I'm Death.

I know things.

But if you want to tangle with death.

I never traveled much.

There's a lot of places I never saw.

If you lived to be 100, there'd be places
you'd say you didn't see.

That's life, it's always incomplete.

But for some people, like me,
it's more incomplete than others.

Don't get me wrong,

I commiserate,
but the death was your choice, not mine.

I didn't plan it.

Come on, you're not dumb,
you knew the risks.

It's not like you tripped
in front of a bus.

I can't just take
all the moments of my life

and put them in a box and pick just one.

There are things I had no control over
and that should count for something.

Let's make a deal.

Well, I'm sorry, it doesn't work that way.

It's time to go.

No, wait.

I deserve a second chance.

You can change the future.

I may not be perfect,
but let me try again.

I'm sorry.

I have other appointments, other people.

I can't argue with you forever.

Where are you going?

New Orleans.

Guns make busy work.

It's ironic.

You seem to have spent your entire life
trying to avoid the real world.

Always looking to go somewhere,
you knew not where.

Now, I want to take you to another world

and you don't want to go.

I'm looking forward
to some good jambalaya.

Good job, 44,
let us know if there's any change.

See you in ten, peace out.

I can dance.

What?

I can dance.
