Point game. Come on. It’s all right. I got it.

I got it.

Foul.

Come on, Junior. That’s a weak call.

When I was your age, you had to draw blood to call that foul.

- Your shit is weak, old man. - I’m going to show you old man.

- Come on, man. - Bring it stronger than that.

What?

Cam! Cam! Cam!

- Wide open. - What?

Trick. Hot sauce.

Yeah!

"Hot sauce"? Really?

- Darren. - Yeah?

- You okay? - Yeah, sure. Why?

No reason. You’re just staring at the Cheez Doodles.

Oh, am I?

You were, in a really intense way.

I guess I’m just curious, you know, what they mean.

- What they mean? - Yeah, well, you have to admit

I mean, it’s kind of an odd gift.

It’s um...

- it’s, uh... silly. - All right. You know what?

If you don’t want to tell me, I understand. It’s fine.

No, no. When Ben and I first started dating,

we used to debate everything.

And then we ended up in this debate one night

about Cheez Doodles versus Cheetos.

I like Cheetos. He likes Cheez Doodles.

It’s really stupid.

We stopped debating after that.

I think he was just trying to be funny by giving me those.

Yeah, it’s funny.

I can get rid of them if they make you feel uncomfortable.

No.

Why waste them, right?

They made some bullshit-ass calls.

And on top of that, they were talking mad shit.

Whatever, man. You talked as much shit as they did.

Yeah, but I talk shit because I can back it up, usually.

- Wow. - What?

That’s Pete Powell.

Pete Powell?

As in Genetic Denim Pete Powell?

- Yup. - Yo, let’s go grab him.

No, I called him four times. He never called me back.

He’s obviously not looking to talk.

Whatever, man. We’ve got our samples.

We’re good. We don’t need him.

Yo, man, I bet once upon a time he had a sample too.

Now you selling his shit at Barneys.

It’s not going to hurt to ask, right?

- Yo, Pete! - Cam--

Pete Powell! Yo, hold up.

What’s up, man?

It’s Cam. Cam Calderon.

You know my boy Ben, right? Ben Epstein?

My old bommie buddy.

- How’s it going, man? - It’s good.

You know, same old same old?

You know I tried calling you, right?

- You did? - A few times.

I don’t check messages. You should’ve texted me.

What did you want to talk about?

- We’re starting a denim line. - Yeah.

Good for you guys.

You got a couple of minutes to talk about it?

Yeah, we could use some good pointers.

Guys, I’m in town for 24 hours.

The only thing I’ve got time for is business meetings

and seeing my mother.

But next time I’m in town, I’ll take you to dinner

- and we’ll talk, all right? - Yeah, man. It’s all good.

Oh, come on, you can’t do a quick L.A.-style latte

with your old buddy?

Your partner’s a little pushy, Ben.

I’m a lot pushy, actually.

How can I say no to two guys on the grind?

Besides, I could use a cup of coffee.

Black.

I don’t do lattes.

- Que pasa, bro? - Rene. Hola.

Yo, how’s that Rasta Monsta moving?

I’m trying to push it, Rene.

Most people around here are looking to get fucked up though,

not so energized.

Well, bro, do what you can, man. It’s appreciated.

Have you seen my cousin Tito?

They tell me he’s spending a lot of time here these days.

Yeah, he’s in the back.

- He’s in the back? - Yeah.

Oh, okay. Thanks, Joe.

- Little Tito Puente!

Shit, Rene. Don’t you knock? What if I was naked?

What the fuck would you be doing naked in a bar for?

- You don’t know? - Know what?

Gloria, she kicked me out of the house. I’ve been living here.

So how come you didn’t call me?

I did. You never called me back.

Yeah, probably because I thought you needed some money.

Nah, I just needed a place to stay.

- Oh, that’s worse. - See?

Everybody’s turning their back on me, even my own family.

Come on, I’m just kidding with you.

You’re my favorite cousin. Now get dressed.

We’ve got to go over to your house.

- What for? - Remember that little package

I gave you to hide in the basement for me?

Of course. I put it in the ceiling like you told me to.

That’s good. I need it now, all right?

So put your stinky-ass feet into those Adidas

and let’s get moving.

Rene, I ain’t allowed near the house.

- Says who? - The court.

Gloria got a restraining order against me.

What the fuck you do to Gloria?

Nothing. She saw some charges

from a titty bar on my credit card.

She came after me with a blade.

I hid in the closet, called 9-1-1.

Cops came, she started crying, and they arrested me.

- You believe that? - Yo, bro, I believe it.

You both crazy. Come on. I got to go. Let’s go.

So, what do you got?

Crisp Denim.

It’s catchy. I like it.

’70s inspired.

Two-tone windowpane?

No, no, and not bells either.

All right, I’m curious.

Curious enough to get us a sales hookup?

Depends. You got something I can check out?

We’re actually getting our sample today.

Sorry, guys.

I’m on a 5:00 flight out.

- But trust us, they dope. - I’m sure they are.

I always thought you’d be the one in the clothing business,

You know, this guy, he had mad style.

Remember that time you rocked those crazy Wayfarers

to Vicky Wiler’s party?

- Yeah, man. - And I clowned you.

You did.

Now they’re back and hot again.

I stick with the classics.

I’ll tell you what.

I got a buyer in town from Tokyo.

A friend of mine named Haraki.

He’s always asking about up-and-comers.

I’m going to take a chance on you guys.

I’ll set up a meeting.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Thank you, man.

He was staring at the Cheez Doodles.

- Staring how? - Like this.

Like--

That’s quite a stare.

Yeah, and then he ate them.

Wow. That is intense.

I mean, it’s kind of a dickish move if you ask me.

Maybe. I--

I understand it.

You do?

Sure.

Those Cheez Doodles are more than just a snack to Darren.

They’re like a message from Ben saying,

"Hey, asshole. I got there first."

Yeah, but I don’t think that’s what Ben was trying to do.

Well, what were you trying to say

by bringing them up to Darren’s apartment?

I wasn’t trying to say anything.

They were with all my other gifts.

It’s a little insensitive.

Not only did you bring your ex to your party,

but then you kept his gift out on display.

Are you not ready to move on?

Yes, Edie, I’m-- I’m ready to move on.

Then start showing it.

♪ I don’t want to ill I just want to chill ♪

Yeah, I would definitely live in L.A.

- You’re lying. - Why would I lie to you?

All right, fine. You’re lying to yourself then.

What? You think I’m going to die living in the L.E.S.?

Yes, I do.

That’s harsh, bro.

All right, fine. You might move to Brooklyn for a minute though.

Wait, why do you think I’m never going to leave?

Because your grandmother won’t,

and how are you going to live without her cooking,

and cleaning all your clothes, huh?

I’ll get a girlfriend.

Not if they hear you say shit like that, you won’t.

Whatever. I’ll prove you wrong, yo.

I’m going to be living where there’s fun in the sun, son.

Yeah, all right. I’ll believe it when I see it.

You are going to see it. You’re coming with me.

I’m not moving anywhere, man.

I was born here. I’m going to die here.

Marsha, my love, did you miss me?

And you are?

Cam from Crisp Denim.

How can you forget about me like that? I’m hurt.

- Would you stop harassing her? - Don’t worry about me.

I can handle this one.

We’re here to pick up our sample.

Have a seat, and please feel free

to take Mr. Pickup Artist here with you.

Oh.

What the fuck you want?

Hey, hey, come on.

Is that any way to talk in front of my grandmother?

Oh. I’m sorry, Rosa. I didn’t see you.

Well, are you going to invite us in or what?

Yeah, of course. Sure.

Thank you.

You’re getting a divorce?

I know Tito’s your blood, Rosa, but with all due respect to you,

he’s also made of slime.

You’re family too.

Family has to be there for family during times like this.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, we’re here to show you some support.

That is so sweet of you, Rosa.

What am I, invisible?

You too, I guess.

Please, have a seat. I’ll make you some coffee.

Gracias.

Mm-hmm.

Sorry about the wait, fellas.

I know you’re a busy man.

That’s why I’m still alive. Too busy to die.

All my retired friends? Dead.

And the rest of them got nothing to live for

except snot-nosed grandkids

and arguing with health-insurance providers.

Not me.

Me, I’m a worker.

Here we are.

That looks dope.

Yeah.

Are you troubled or are you jumping for joy on the inside?

No, it just looked a little different in my head.

I think they look good. Try them on.

You can go back there.

Yeah? Okay.

He’s a nice boy, but he carries a lot of tension in his belly.

He needs yoga.

He needs to get laid.

That’s what I’ve been trying to tell him.

Ben, come on. Let me see.

Good-looking pant.

Not the right cut for you, though.

I think they look good.

They’re exactly what you wanted.

Yes, that’s because I’m a fucking moron.

No, you’re just a little insane,

because you hate everything you ever done.

I mean, no real guy would wear these.

- I would. - Would you really?

- Jesus. - Only ’cause they’re too tight.

I like a little loose. You know that, Ben.

I’m throwing these in the fucking trash.

Whoa, hold on! They’re not just yours to throw away.

They’re mine too.

What about the meeting tonight?

- What about it? - We can’t not show up.

Your boy Pete put himself out there for us.

I’m sure if he saw these, he’d be happy if we didn’t show.

The jeans are fine, okay? We’re going.

There’s no shot we’re going.

Then I’m going alone.

Unlike you, I’m not going to blow this chance.

Oh, okay. Here you go. Fine, fine.

He’s going to laugh in your face.

Just leave me out of it, all right?

Cool, cool, thanks for the encouragement, dick.

I’m a dick? Well, at least I can admit

that I got no one to blame for this but myself, Cam.

Now just leave me alone.

Here’s a game for hanky poo.

The black’s for me, the red’s for you.

Are you guys following this?

Right here. Flip it. Come on.

Yeah!

There, boys. Pay up. Let’s go.

- Oh.

You know what? Keep your money, fellas. It’s cool.

- Hey. - Hey.

Am I seeing you for dinner tonight?

Um, yes.

In fact, I thought maybe we could try

something a little different.

Different how?

Well, you know the Gardens of the Cloisters?

Of course.

Do you want to have sex there?

You want to have sex with me outdoors in the Cloisters?

I’m game if you’re game.

Is this about the Cheez Doodles?

- No, I-- - Come on, Rach.

Okay, it does have something to do

with the Cheez Doodles situation.

I’m-- I’m really sorry about that.

I-- I just wanted to do something with you

that I’d never done with anyone else.

You know, I appreciate what you’re doing, I really do.

But, actually, I think I owe you an apology.

I was an ass this morning when I ate the Cheez Doodles.

It was a dick move. I’m really sorry.

So I-- I don’t have to have sex with you outdoors

in order to make you feel special?

- Uh, no. - Oh, good.

But while we’re on the subject,

there is something that I would like to do

that I have never done before, with you.

What’s that?

- Ecstasy. - Really?

Yeah, I never did it.

I was always such a jock in school.

You know what? I-- I did it, like, once

with a girlfriend in college.

So do you want to do that tonight then?

On a school night?

Yeah, so what?

Sure.

All right. Do you know where we can get it?

Hold on.

Edie, do you know where I can find X?

Top drawer on the left.

Are you serious?

They’re leftover from Burning Man.

Do they expire?

So I think I found a lead.

When I was your age,

there was no such thing as a divorce.

You did not run.

You stayed.

You fixed the problem.

But men were gentlemen back then, Rosa.

Men were always men.

But did they smoke cocaine?

Gamble away the wedding gifts?

Spend the I.R.S. tax check on some cheap ho’s

at the strip bar?

This is what Tito does?

Yeah.

I got to go to the bathroom, okay?

Come on. Shh, shh.

- Where is she? - Just shut up. Get over there.

Gloria’s not bad-mouthing me to Rosa, is she?

Hey, my grandmother,

she catches me with a bag of cash,

and I got to explain to her where it came from,

I’m going to kill you.

- There’s cash in that package? - What did you think was in it?

- I don’t know, guns? - No man, there’s 100K in there.

- Let’s go. - 100K, and you tell me now?

Money does funny things to people.

Plus, I thought it would be best not to lead you into temptation.

- What the fuck is this? - Holy shit.

What happened to my rec room?

My Ping-Pong.

Bro, go look for my money.

Hurry the fuck up.

There ain’t nothing here, bro.

You’d better be fucking kidding me, Tito.

You’d better be fucking kidding me.

I swear. I put it right here. It was here a month ago.

- I put the package right here. - You fucking with me, bro?

No, bro! I’m telling you, it’s not here!

What the fuck is going on down here?

What the fuck are you doing here, you cocksucker?

He’s doing the same thing I’m doing.

- Looking for my money. - What money?

The money you stole.

I didn’t steal no fucking money.

I put Rene’s money up in the ceiling, and now it’s gone?

He’s full of shit, Rene. He probably shoveled it up is nose.

Rene, you know I would not steal from you,

because I love you and I respect you,

but mostly because I fear you.

Get it through your head. He’s a manipulator.

Bullshit. What about you? Where did you get all the money

to get all this shit if you didn’t take it?

- None of your fucking business. - See, Rene? She took it.

I got the money from my father, you scummy piece of shit.

He sold his Chevy so I could open my business.

Now you two better get your asses out of my parlor

and off my property in 20 seconds,

or I’m calling the cops.

Let’s calm down, all right? We’re family here.

No, we ain’t family.

You ruined my parlor.

I fucking hate you.

What’s going on in here?

Nothing, Grandma. Look, I’ll explain this later.

Look, I promise, I swear,

I’m going to fix this all up for you, Gloria, all right?

Just tell me who was the contractor

that did this work for you.

Flaco.

Flaco? From the Vladeck projects?

- Yeah. - Flaco.

Now you really have a reason to hate him.

Oh, yeah.

Can I get a smoke off you, mister?

Yo, you’re like 12.

Fuck off, asshole.

It’s about time you two grew up and put the past in the past.

That sounds like his car coming up now.

That’s a nice car that he got himself.

He won it last month playing poker.

Yup.

Flaco was always lucky.
