[RAY] The only thing I know
how to do is be a cop.
Could you help me out a little bit here?

So, listen, we were wondering, um
when's the last time
you guys been to the Cape?
Cape Cod?
I was just there.
I went to visit my boy Osito in prison.
He's a good friend of yours?
Used to come visit at my uncle's house.
Figured I'd go say hi,
see how he's doing.
Yeah, you guys stay on the Cape at all?
I told you, we live here.

You guys hear about all the
carfentanyl deaths on the Cape?
All these kids your age,
they're just dropping like flies.
You know, you just touch
that stuff, it could kill you.
That's dangerous
fucking business, isn't it?
Sure sounds like it.
If we're all done here,
we got to get ready for church.
Oh, of course, of course.

from you, I'll let you know.
All right, so what you thinking here?
I'm thinking Charmaine is smart as hell.

What is wrong with straight girls?
Why does a chick like Daisy
protect an asshole like that?
Daddy issues. I mean, she is a stripper.
Ah, no.
Everyone's got daddy issues,

weren't down with that stuff.
Aw, you're so cute when you're racist.

Probably wanted a boy,
so I think, in a way,
he related to me more because
I wanted to fuck chicks.

literally all he wants to do,
so, you know, barf.
Oh, yeah, no, let's
keep talking about that.
