...yeah, it is.
-No, it's not.
The fuck you talking about?
-Of course it is.
-This is what I'm saying.
-No, no, this is
what I'm saying.
You create arguments,
and you don't know
what your point is.
Where was the Federal Reserve?
Where did we send army bases?
Where did we set them up?
Georgia was number one, bro.
- Georgia-Azerbaijan, bro.
Georgia-Azerbaijan.

It's disgusting.
You've been making me

All day...
So I was, I'm, you know,
I'm doing, like, this whole
music thing, this rap shit.
I'm starting to plan out
kind of what I'm, like,
this shit's moving,

So I'm starting to plan out
a little bit what I wanna do.
And when he hits it, man,
I'm gonna get myself a boat.
Cruise down the coast
the whole way down to DR.

My mom tells me...
- Yeah.
-When did you go to DR? I don--

Like a couple years ago.
A couple years ago. There was
this sexy-ass chick,

Bro, I go to take a picture.
Right as soon as I take the pic,
she takes my face
- and puts it right in her tits, bro...
- -Yes.
- Big ass tits.
- ...it was so sick. I swear.
Sean jawned out everything, bro.
My mom took the picture
right on it...
I mean, I got nothing to say
about DR, bro.
The weed is trash.
-That's about it.
-Yo, so tell me more
about this, this, uh,
this boat of yours, bro.
It's cool. It's cool.
It's gonna be awesome, man.
-It's gonna be a yacht.

With the money that you get
from, from Yuriy,

a fucking business major.
-You know exactly
what you should be doing, right?
-Yeah.
-Branding, identity.
-I do.
These ar-- why do I know more
about this than you do, bro?
-Because you're ridiculous--
-How am I ridiculous?
-It's like the most absurd...
-What's insane, bro?
...ridiculous fucking thing
I've ever heard.
-How? How? Tell me how.
-Because your actual plan
for your life
is to take this fucking
junkie piece of shit
-who can't fucking rap.
-He's not a junkie.
He's not a junkie!
Yo-- Like, honest
to fucking God, I worry.
-You're an adult, man. Exactly!
-You're an adult too,
so why can't you just let
-other people do
the things their doing, bro?
-Exactly!
Like, JAY-Z wasn't
fucking born, bro. He's fro--
he's fr-- from Brooklyn too,
bro! He was chilling in
Hebron courts too.
But at the same time,
while he was just chilling
with his friends,
smoking fucking blunts,
he was working. He was plotting.
-He's plotting. That's exactly
what I'm doing, bro.
-I just-- man, I just fucking--
I don't even know
what to say to you.
-Hey, Leon. Okay.
-Oh, hi, George. How are you?
George, give me
five minutes, please.
I'll be right there.
Have a seat.
I have IPA in the fridge.
You want some?
- It's a good beer.
It's from Whole Foods.
- I'm good, Leon.
Oh, by the way, George,
who is this homeless man
you brought with you?
He's been following me
for years, Leon.
Oh, my God,
he stinks like trash.
-Did he pee himself?
-Alright, Leon, okay.
Igor, tell me, please,
why do you hide behind
all this bullshit in your face?
Your mother hates it.
I'm gonna wait for you
outside, George.
Hey, no bums outside
my store, Igor.
Okay, Leon.
Your brother doesn't know
how to joke?
He's very sensitive.
Oh, yeah. George, you remember
my son, Constantine?
-The one who went to St. John's?
-Mm-hmm. Yep.
You know, he got
a big job right now.
He's working in a big building.
-Really?
-Yeah.
He works in
Charles Schwab building.
-Do you know Charles Schwab?
-Yeah, of course.
Millionaires everywhere.
-Wow.
-JAY-Z came into
the building, he said.
He rode elevator once
with JAY-Z and Beyonc.
And his boss,
his boss treat him so nice,
he gave him $35,000 watch.
He thinks about him
like a friend.
Yeah. That's what it is.
-So lucky guy, huh?
-Yeah, yeah.
I'm so happy with him.
Very happy.
Listen... I have
no reason to lie to you, okay?
I don-- I don't make commission.
I have this service.
I have it because it's the best.
It's the best because
of the coverage.
We have 4G LTE towers.
We've 4G LTE towers.
Nobody else has-- has got that.
Why do you think that we were
the first company to get
this smartphone?
Because of the coverage,
alright?
Come with me, I wanna show you
something. Come on. Come on.
Here we go.
We have towers everywhere
you see yellow in this map.
Everywhere on this map,
everywhere that is yellow...
...that's where we have service.
We have towers here.
We have towers here.
We have towers here.
I was on the top
of a mountain with a friend.
Rocky Mountains, beautiful.
Nobody else has service.
Nobody has any business
having coverage, and we're
sitting here on my phone
watching Ugly Betty
on this baby.
What kind of phone do you got?
What kind of phone do you got?

Yeah, of course...

I have to talk to Christine
about it. It's only,
like, two bucks, but--
Yaniv, you know that you're
not supposed to put metal
in the microwave, right?
Why?
It's, you know, it's sparking,
like, all over the place.
Eh. It's only 45 seconds.
Alright, George, I'm double
parked. See you later.
See you later, man.

Nope! Go again! Go at it again!
Again! Go back.

Thank you so much for coming.
Thank you, bro. Thank you.
Let me talk to you.
What happened, bro?
We said one o'clock.
Oh, I was headed out.
I couldn't find my phone.
For four fucking hours, bro?
Come on.
I had a shower and eat, bro.
What do you want?
Alright.
You showered, you ate.
Everything's great.
We're all happy.
Let's get you in this.

-What's wrong with the car?
-It's just kind of whack,
you know?
It's a Beemer, bro.
You couldn't get an R8?
-Yuriy, where am I going
to get you an R8?
-My boy Gary's got one.
-Let me hit Gary.
-No. No, no. No, no,

Let's not call anybody.
I'm sorry-- look,
I'm sorry you don't like
the car, alright, bro?
We're losing light. I really
wanna get the shot. Please.
So let's just go for a take.
Okay, bro.
Yuriy, can you tell them
to shut the fuck up, please?
The girls are cold, bro.
What do you want me to say?
Okay, let's take five.
Everybody take five,
but five means five, seriously,
because we're about
to lose all the light we can,
and I, I just can't--
I can't keep looking
like a asshole. I can't.
Yo.

-Nothing, man.
Fucking killed it tonight.
Absolutely killed it.
Um, we got two more shots to do,
but... it's gonna look
fucking amazing, dude.
The kid's got nothing
but charisma. I don't know
what else to say.
Have you seen
my memory cards anywhere?
No, no. That's dope, though.
Can't wait to see it.
I got a lot to do too.

Dude, I'm going to bed.
Oh, 'ca-- I'm just

You're a fucking tough guy.
Get tough with your friends.
You don't get tough with me.

to the Rangers, right?
And he ain't go tonight.
So, guess what?
-Hockey?
-Yeah, man!
We've been going
since we were kids.
You know, I figured it'd be fun.
Do something different.
Yeah, I can't go tonight, man.
I got a bunch of stuff to do
with Yuriy at the studio.
But, um, you have fun, though.
Nah, I'm not gonna go.
What do you mean,
you're not gonna go, bro?
Just... take Mike.
Mike loves hockey.
No, I don't wanna go.
Bro, why are you being crazy?
I'm sorry I can't make it.
I'm busy, but just take Mike.
I don't wanna take Mike.
I wanted to take you.
You don't wanna go.

Hey, Yuriy.
I'm waiting for your brother.
Cool, man.

What's the matter?
You're not gonna come over here?
I haven't seen you in a minute.
Hey, Yur--
The other brother, huh?

a big businessman.
Donald Trump, huh?
Big dick shit.

Alright, Yuriy.

Tell your brother

And I'll never forgive you.
I'll never forgive you.
Venom, get out.
Get out of my way.
Then I'll bust a nut, bust a nut

Get the fuck out of my face.
No more interviews.
Bop, bop, bop. Ha!
Fuck!
That's game.
Was that fucking game?
Fucking take a walk again.
This fucking guy,
gloating in my fucking face.
Are you a fucking child?
What the fuck is wrong
with you, man?
I got another ball. I'm next.
-How are you doing?
-I need help. I need help.
Okay. What--
what can I help you with?
Um, my phone, it's new.
And I can't get
all my contacts on it.
Could you fix that
for me, please?
Just fix it.
-I'm sorry, you need,
you need your, your...
-It's a new phone,
-...your contact list?
-the contacts, I don't know
where they went to.
So, you just have to sync 'em.
So if we just, uh,

-Um, no, c--
can you just fix it?
- Just-- I don't know
where they went to.
- Okay.
Just, alright.
Do you have a, uh, an email?
Um, yes, it's, um,

Um.
Mm, I have so many.

Um, kaya8586.
Kaya8605. I'm not sure.
Forget it.
I, I don-- I don't-- just won't bother.
-Can I have it back?
-You're just not gonna have
your contacts.
-No, I, I don't know what to do.
What do I do?
-We just have to wait
to request a new one.
That's all. Just gotta
request a new password.
- You have the password?
- No.
-We have to request
a new password.
-Oh, okay. Um.
So, just, just, just--
we'll request a new password.
- Is that okay?
We can request a new password?
- No, f-- no.
It's just so hard.
It's just too hard.
I couldn't agree more, ma'am.
We got a kosher subway
at Kings Highway now.
Nice.
Hey, Yaniv, I've been, uh,
I've been wanting to ask you,
when you, when you opened
the first store,
how did you,
how did you go about that?
I took it over from my uncle.
Cool, cool.
Where did you get
the money to do that?
I borrowed some of it
from my father-in-law,
and the rest was a loan.
I was up to my eyeballs in debt,
but I worked my ass off, and--
Then I was able to leverage
the first store for the second,
the second store for the third.
Yeah, man.
-That's smart, man.
-No.
You wanna hear smart?
Me and my boys took
10K each, right?
One of the owners
of Terminal 5 told them,
"We want to book Avicii."
They get the bar sales,
we get the ticket sales.
They say, yeah. We go to Avicii,
we book him
for the night. Private show.
We made 50k each,
selling tickets at 300 a pop.
- That shit sold out fast.
- Oh, man.
Avicii, man, that's no joke.
People went fucking crazy.
- 50k in one night, easy.
- Wow, man.
Smart.
Hello, gov'nor.
Mighty breezy, governor.
I wish I had me a warmer coat
and some porridge.
Porridge.
You ready to take one, John?
Yeah.
Yeah? Alright, let's go. Action.
So, just remember
that if you want to defrost
-your driveway--
-It's melt.
Melt. You don't melt--
-Just, it's melt.
-Hey, wha-- what ha--
-Not defrost.
-What happened
to that Latin kid?
So, just remember
that if you want
your bank account--
Shit, I'm sorry.
-Just going again. I'm sorry.
-Yeah, go again.
Please.
So, just remember that
if you want to melt the ice
instead of your bank account,
to use Johnson's driveway--
It's Johnston's.
Johnston's with a T.
- Really?
- Yeah, it's Johnston's with a T.
Like Johnston's.
So, just remember that
if you wanna melt the ice...
One more time, please.
Uh, you know.
This time with a little bit of,
like, something.
Hmm. Going again.
So, just remember--
Can we get quiet on
the set, please?
...defrost the ice
instead of your bank--
-No, you...
-Alright, one more time.
Going again. Shit, sorry.
- Just remember that
if you wanna melt the ice...
- It's good.
...instead
of your driveway-- No.
- Iggy.
-So, just remember that if you wanna melt the ice...
- Who's that guy?
- I don't know.

It's a commercial, man.
Use it for the commercial.
Use it for the movie.
-Use it for whatever

-Alright. Alright.
All I'm saying is
I'm giving it--
Bro, I'm gonna

Maybe something can happen.
They're called, uh, pelmeni.

There's this place on, um, Ocean
and Avenue U that makes them.
They're great.
Oh, okay.
Thank you.
Sorry. None of my business.
Pelmini?
-What?
-What did you call them?
Pelmeni.
Cool. Okay, that's not, like,
"I'm an asshole" in Russian
or something.

- No.
Just means dumpling.
Alright, cool.
Thanks for the tip.
-Avenue U, yeah?
-Avenue U.
Have a good night.
You too.
Next.
Hey.
-Hey.
-So you wouldn't have
any interest in showing me
this dumpling spot, would you?
Uh, yeah. Sure.
- Fuck you.
It's not what you think.
- What?
I know what you're thinking.
I've lived in New York
for ten years.
Everybody thinks if you grew up
in Connecticut, you, like,
you know,
went to boarding school
and owned a yacht or something.
But actually, a lot of the state
is really fucked up.
-Yeah? Did you
grow up in, like...
-Yeah.
...the fucked up part?
No, I mean, I-- no, I grew up
in the, like, the not rich,
not poor,
like the normal boring part.
Sounds nice.
I mean, it's very safe.
How'd you end up all the way,
uh, all the way down here?
You don't, you don't see
a lot of, you know,
young people moving down here.
Uh, I mean,
well, like, I,
I got out of a thing
a couple months ago,
and I needed a place to stay,
and so I, um,
I found a place down here
that I liked,
and I just thought,
"What the hell?"
I mean, it's cool. I like it.
- It's like a small town,
you know?
- Yeah, it is.
It's too much like that.
Try living here your whole life.
You're Russian?
How could you tell?
I smell like cabbage
or something?
-The dumplings.
-Oh, yeah. Right.
My, my parents are from Ukraine.
I, I was born here,
I'm totally American.
-Wow. That must be interesting.
-What?
Uh, you know, like, having
a different culture
in your house.
It's not much of a culture.
Where would you live
if you could live anywhere?
Anywhere in the world.
I think, like, um,
Texas or Arizona,
something like that,
you know? Beautiful.
I always loved cowboys
and stuff when I was a kid,
so I, uh, I'd get
a big chunk of land
and not have anybody around
-to bother me.
-Tiny America.
You ever been to the desert?
-No.
-Oh, you gotta go.
It's cool, man.
What about you?
Um, I don't know.
Norway?
-Norway?
-Yeah.
You can pick anywhere
in the world
-and you're going
to go to Norway?
-Yeah.
-That sounds horrible!
-Okay, what--
how are you criticizing
this, like, totally
pretend hypothetical?
-This is my dream.
-Because you're a nice person.
You deserve better than that.
You deserve a better fantasy
than that.
Wh-- I-- it-- it's cold
and dark the whole year.
There's only meatballs to eat.
Okay.
N-- Okay, first of all, no.
I would have a beautiful home.
Design there is amazing.
And it's not cold there
the whole year.
It's cold half the year.
It's not Alaska.
And in the summer,
it's, like, amazing.
It's so beautiful,
and there's wildflowers
everywhere.
And in the winter, it would
be fine. I would just, like,
you know,
cook at home and have a fire.
It would be cozy.
Plus, good distribution
of wealth and health care.
Socialized health care.
Yeah. What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with communism?
It's not communism.
Okay. That stuff,
it all sounds great on paper.
It's a slippery slope,
and it's actually
really dangerous.
W-- what's a slippery slope?
People actually getting the help
that they need
from the government?
Ella, this is kind of,
like, personal for me.
My parents fucking fled
that shit, okay?
So you should wait in
a few bread lines
before you lecture people on
what the government
should be doing.
Are you a Republican?
I'm not a Republican.
I'm not a Democrat.
I think for myself, okay?
I'm not gonna have somebody
tell me what to think.
But do you vote?
What does that have to do
with anything? Th-- Wh-- what?
Do you vote?
Have you ever voted?
Why should I?
It doesn't make a difference.
Okay, well, unless you vote,
you can't say shit.
Then you just--
you're just standing
on the sidelines bitching.
So I didn't go
to college, so I must be
a fucking idiot, right?
Is that, is that
basically it? I don't--
I don't have any idea
what I'm talking about.
- So we probably shouldn't talk
politics, huh?
- Yeah.
No, I think I'm gonna go.
-I gotta wake up early and--
-Wait, wait, wait.
-Don-- don't leave on that note.
Don't leave on that note.
-I got a bunch of stuff to do.
Come on.
-We had such a good time.
-Yeah, we did.
Until we didn't.
You fucking idiot.
What's up, bro?
God, that's bad.
Oh, you bought bad milk.
-It's expired, dude.
-It's not the date.
It's not the date.
I got sidetracked
on the way home.
It's been out all night. Sorry.
Ugh! God, I wanted cereal.
Hey, George.
What the fuck is that?
- Hey, Phil.
- Yeah.
-What the fuck are you wearing?
-Uh, it's a shirt.
It's a shirt. Why that shirt?
I like it.
You like it? He likes the shirt.
He like-- so you what?
What, do you like fucking--
you like swasikas too?
-Swastikas, you fucking idiot.
-Swastikas?
-No, it's just a shirt.
-Hey, it's all cool, man.
Hey, it's just a shirt.
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna take your face,
and I'm gonna start scraping it
against the fucking ground
when we get in there.
Then I'll take
-that shirt, I'm gonna
rip it off your back...
-Okay.
...and I'm gonna
start wiping my ass with it.
Yeah, just real nice and clean.
I'm gonna shake it off,
get all those crumbs off,
and start just doing
it all over again, motherfucker.
Sensei.
I mean, that's his whole thing,
right? He's, like,
fighting bullies,
right? I mean, that's,
like, he thinks th--
he's fucking Batman.
I can tell him
it's not my fault, right?
I can just blame Phil.
Tell him that Phil's
a culturally insensitive shit.
...shut the fuck up, Phil.
- It's just a shirt.
- I don't know, man.
It looked bad.
It looked really fucking bad.
Oh, no. What the fuck?
-No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No.
-What's fucking happening now?
-What's going on with you?
Why are you s--
-Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck,
-fuck, fuck, fuck!
-What?
I left the pants to my gi.
How did you leave
the pants to your gi?
I left them for you
all fucking folded together.
I know. I took them
back out to iron them.
-You iron your gi?
-Fuck!
He's gonna kill me, bro.
You gotta give me your pants.
-No.
-Please, man, you gotta
give me your pants.
-I'm not giving you my pants.
-George. George.
I'm begging you to please
give me your pants.
-He's gonna fucking kill me.
-No fucking way.
You know, way to be there
for your fucking brother.
I'm not your fucking mom!
You're an adult.
Shut the fuck up, Phil!
This is all your goddamn fault!
Line up.
You know,
what are the three tenets
that I've been trying
to impart upon you guys,
some of you for years?
What are they?
Respect for yourself.
Personal responsibility.
Be a just force in the world.
That's right.
I've tried to emphasize for you
this is not about fighting.
This is a path.
It is a way of life.
And I can tell
from some of you here today
that you are far off
of that path.
And it pains me
We're gonna work
on some new techniques today.
Igor.
Yeah, yeah, sensei.
Absolutely, sensei.
I want you to punch me
in my face.
What?
Punch me in the face.
-I don't-- I don't
wanna punch you--
-Do it.
Do it.
- This is primarily
a spiritual pursuit.
Ow.
One must purge themselves
of all selfish
and evil thoughts.
-Have you done that, Igor?
-No.
Oh, my God.
Try again.
No.
Do it.
No--
For only with a clear mind
and conscience
can the practitioner
fully understand
the knowledge he receives.
Am I getting through
to you, Igor?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes.
Funakoshi says that
the practitioner should be
inwardly humble
and outwardly gentle.
Are you either of those things
here today, Igor?
-No.
-You don't sound convincing.
You don't sound inwardly humble.
I'll-- I'll be
more inwardly humble. U--
Cool? Just not do this.
You're defying your sensei?
I'm-- I'm not-- I'm not gonna do
this because it's stupid.
You're gonna
just keep putting me down.
Calling me stupid?
I'm not calling you stupid.
I'm just saying
-this whole thing is stupid.
-I'm so stupid,
come at me.
Punch me in the face.
Do it.
I can-- I just--
I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not gonna do that anymore
because you keep hurting me
-and I don't wanna keep
getting hurt--
-Punch me in the face. Do it.
Do it!
- You see, class...
- Fuck you.
...when someone
is striking outward,
it is almost always because
of a deficit within himself.
- George.
- A way in which he is not
at peace in his own heart.
And he brings that pain
and tumult into the world.
George, help me.
Hey, there. Hi. How are you?
Looking for anything
in particular?
Nope. Just, just looking.
Alright.
Yeah.
Let me know.
-I'll let you know.
-Yeah.
What the fuck is...
-George?
-Ella?
What are you doing here?
It's so crazy, I--
Um, it's my mom's birthday
next week.
It's so crazy. This is--
this is where you work.
Mm-hmm.
Uh, let's step outside
for a minute.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's step outside.
What are you doing here, really?
Wh-- So your mom is
into high-end interior design
and you just happened
to walk into my shop?
I just--
I hated how it ended
the other night.
And we didn't exchange numbers.
How did you find out
where I work?
Facebook.
Do you see that
that's a little creepy?
Do you? I mean, l--
I met you one time in my life
for, like, a couple hours,
and then you just show up
at my work?
It makes it sound like I'm a,
I'm like a dirt bag,
like I'm like a weird
fucking stalker or something.
I just-- We had a g--
really good time,
and I just--
I wanted to see you again.
This isn't cool.
Like, it's really not okay,
and I'm a little bit
weirded out.
Fuck.
I--
I'm gonna go.
Okay.
You fucking asshole.
Oh, you fucking asshole, you--
-It's okay.
-No, no. I'm,
I'm, I'm a fucking--
I'm a piece of shit.
Um, I fucked up the first time.
I made it worse.
I'm never gonna
bother you again. Don't worry.
You don't have to go crazy.
I can't get it right.
Ever.
Look, I get off at 5:30.
We'll get a coffee, okay? And...
...discuss normal ways
of behaving.
Really?
See you at 5:30.
Mooseys, bro.
These motherfuckers been sucking
on the moosey sticks.
Thousands of years, bro.
Cleanest teeth you've ever seen
in your fucking life, bro.
Perfectly straight. D--
They don't have braces.
And they think so fucking clear.
It's incredible, bro.
They got perfect teeth,
shining, sparkling.
And some of the smartest,
you know, they-- Who made math?
So where do you wanna
get coffee?
It's too late for coffee.
I won't sleep.
How about a drink?
It's too early for a drink.
'Cause being first generation
is sort of like--
It's p-- like being between
two places, you know?
But I don't know that country.
I, I grew up like you grew up.
Same shit, you know?
NSYNC and, you know,
fucking mac and cheese,
whatever, you know?
But my parents are
from this other place,
and, um, you know,
they came from nothing.
So their perspective
is different. They came from
really fucking, like, nothing.
Like, my dad didn't have
fucking shoes sometimes
when he was growing up.
Can you imagine that?
Most immigrants I know,
they're better than Americans
at most American shit.
They come here and they,
they understand credit,
they understand business,
they understand
how the system works.
Because when you come
from a place
where nothing works,
everything here just seems
fucking easy, you know?
Can't make it here with all
the opportunities there are.
What the fuck?
You gotta be dumb
or you gotta be lazy.
What?
No, there are tons
of disadvantages for people.
The decks are completely
stacked, George.
Okay.
So I was walking down the street
with my dad one time
and we passed this old wino
who was standing
on the corner begging.
My dad turns to me
and he's like,
"George, why is--
why is he doing that?
Why doesn't he get a job?"
And he wasn't--
he wasn't, like, being a dick.
He was, like, genuinely confused
by the whole thing.
It was, like,
beyond what he could imagine
that somebody would beg
in this country.
This country is magical
to my dad.
Oh, come on.
Man, I thought that "streets
are paved with gold" shit
went out in the 1910s.
-This country's fucked up.
-Paved with gold.
Do you know
what this country used to be?
Look, here's what
you gotta unders--
here's what I would like you
to understand.
My family's from a place
that attempted this progress,
right, that everybody's
all about nowadays.
And it failed mise-- miserably.
So I'm, I'm not against
what you're about.
I'm just being careful.
That's it.
I'm just being careful.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
Sorry to hear that,
man. Good luck.
Okay, gracias, brother.
-...Jews.
-Excuse me?
It's true. It's true.
George, you can't say
shit like that.
-What?
-Because it's,
uh, it's fucking racist.
What?
I'm Jewish.
-You're Jewish?
-Yeah.
Oh, you don't look Jewish.
Ashkenazi, baby.
I still don't think
you can say that.
Why? What? It's true.
Well, yeah-- it might be true,
but you still c--
What does that have
to do with anything, anyway?
Have you ever heard of Avicii?
It was just the thing.
It was the thing.
I don't know where they got it
in their head,
but all of our moms, all--
everybody in the neighborhood
had to do it.
Our moms all signed us up.
And every Wednesday afternoon,
we had to go
to this little studio...
-Mm-hmm.
-...um, with the mirrors
and everything.
-Yeah. Yeah.
-Wow.
-Brooklyn's Patrick Swayze.
-Oh, yeah.
Uh-huh. I like the reference.
I'm sorry, I can't--
-I can't picture it.
-Why?
I don't know. I don't know.
-I'm a fucking amazing dancer.
-Are you?
-I'm very graceful. Yeah!
-Really?
- Why is that
so hard to believe?
- I don't know.
I don't know. Wait.
But what's ballroom?
What is it? That's like--
that's like the waltz
-or salsa?
-It's cha-cha--
It's also in the cha-cha.
-Cha-cha? What the hell--
-I think the lady
only knew the cha-cha.
-...cha-cha?
-You don't know the cha-cha?
-No, what's the cha-cha?
-Cha-cha's the cha-cha, it's...
...two, three.
Oh! Oh.
-New York.
-What?
Oh! Oh, my God.
-It's great. It's great.
-It's great!
-Let's dance the cha-cha.
-Alright, okay.
Let's do it. It's super easy.
- And then you know the cha-cha.
- Okay.
Like this?
Ready? Start this way.
One, two, three. You go forward.
Got to get the heel lift though.
-What? Which one?
-The heel lift, the back one.
-New York.
-New York.
-New York.
-New York.
Oh!
I can kiss you, right?
Oh.
You just ruined it.
You're an asshole.
You can go down.
George, bro,
why is your sock on the--
Iggy, get the fuck out of here!
-I didn't se--
I didn't see anything.
-Go!
I just-- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Oh, it's funny to you?
This is funny to you?
What, are you a sicko? Wha--
I'm gonna fucking kill myself!
Bitches, bro.
Bitches, bro. Um--
So, listen, Yuriy. Yuriy.
-Yuriy. Yuriy. This is
a big move for us...
-Yeah.
...you know what I mean?
I wanna show you
something. Look.
You know, um, you know this kid,
Def Howie, from Staten Island?
-Yeah, I know him. Mm-hmm.
-You do?
I didn't,
I just found him on YouTube,
but I was checking out
the producer.
It's this kid.
Look, listen to this.
You know what I'm saying?
Okay, word.
-No, no, no,
I fuck with this. Yeah.
-Yeah? Okay.
Yeah, I mean that's,
that's what I thought.
That's exactly what I thought.
So... I wanna make sure
that we're...
...we're pros.
- You know what I mean?
I want him
to come in here and stay, "Wow."
-Look at me. Look at me.
-Okay. What? What are you doing?
I want you to just think about
how this is going right now.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna be on my A-game.
-This is what he wants.
-And we're gonna give it to him.
We'll give it to him.
-He's got it. He's got it.
That's it. You be you.
That's all I'm asking.
-You be you.
-Okay, pops.
Um...
-He's gonna be here
in five fucking minutes.
-I'm being me, baby.
I know you're being you, bro,
and that's great.
You keep being you.
I love it. That's cool.
Just to, you know.
Answer the door.
-Get the door.
-I'm just-- look--
-The door, the door,
it's for you.
-I--
-It's a pizza boy.
-Hold on.
Get the pizza.
Go get the pizza. Get t--
This. That's all I want, baby.
You know what I mean?
That's all I'm asking.
Why do you talk
so much? Jesus--
-Hey, man.
-What's up, bro?
-Yo, thank you so much
for coming, man.
-Hey!
-How's it going?
-Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
Um, this is my guy, Yuriy.
Hey, Yuriy.
So you're the guy
with the SoundCloud?
Kilometer of Beats, that's me.
Hottest fucking producer
in New York right now.
-Uh, you know.
-You want a line?
Uh, nah. Nah. I'm,
- I'm cool. Yeah.
- I wanna cut to business,
you know what I mean?
I wanna, I wanna
make this happen.
- Let's see what's going on her-- -Let's do it.
- Let's do it.
I was, uh, fooling around...
-Yeah.
-...with some ideas last night,
and I really like, yeah,
the look of this.
-Yes! Yes, yes.
-Yeah? Yeah. Alright,
I outdid myself.
Ah, tha--
that's fucking fire, bro,
- Uh, just some regular old boom bap.
-that shit...
- No, no, no.
- Old fashioned beats, you know?
That's what I want.
My fucking-- bro,
your boom bap,
that's all I could ask for
'cause he's a real rapper.
You know what I mean?
Yuriy, tell him, you know,
this kid fucking spits
and he's got a lot to say.
-Yeah. Yeah.
-Real hip-hop,
the way used to be,
-you know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
-Yeah. No, that's-- I feel you.
What do you think you like it?
So you got, like,
a recording studio?
Uh, no. I-- Well,
I actually mostly work out
of my home, my apartment.
Oh.
I would've thought producer,
you know.
My boys got this spot in Queens.
$50,000 in equipment.
Oh! Oh, that's good.
Uh, I'm not an engineer, though.
-I, I just make the--
-He's a real 'ducer, bro.
That's the thing.
Um, and he doesn't need
a studio for that shit,
you know what I mean?
You don't need a studio anymore.
-It's not 1996, you know?
-Uh, yeah.
-So that beat
we talked about, um...
-Okay.
...I wanna--
is that an exclusive?
Oh, yeah. Well,
yeah, we had kind of
talked about that.
'Cause-- 'cause I don't--
th-- the thing is, I--
I, I wanna lock that in.
-I wanna have
the license for that.
-None of that trap shit.
Uh, what?
None of that monkey shit.
- Oh--
- You hear me?
He's got his own--
He's got a style.
He's got a style that he likes.
It's a-- it's,
uh, hard to phrase,
but he knows what he wants.
Okay, let's g--
pull some more stuff up.
I definitely wanna get
to work on this.
-Okay.
-I think this would be a fucking
amazing collab.
It's not-- he doesn't need to--
So check this out, bro.
So we got this video. 4K.
4K, um--
I mean, we went, we went
crazy for it. We got drifts,
-we got everything,
you know? I mean--
-Wow.
Oh. Wow.
- No, that's something.
- That looks...
-...that looks good.
That's-- uh, congrats.
-Yeah.
-You know what I'm saying?
-Uh--
There we go.
He's ready.
Alright, Yuriy.
Please don't, don't, don't,
don't threaten the guy.
- Um-- I love it.
- I'm ready.
I think it's a fucking--
I think this is the move, right?
-I mean, this,
by the way, just--
-Yeah, no--
I want you guys to know this.
I see this. I--
and I fucking-- I'm, I'm,
I'm going crazy right now.
Um, I wanna set this up.
-Yeah. I'm here today.
I got nothing till 8:00.
-We have you till--
So, you know,
I'm here to make something.
He's here's
till fucking 8:00, bro.
Um, yeah, so let me--
I'm gonna set it up.
-Let's just get right
into it, right?
-Okay, great, yeah.
- ...this is gonna be
a fire collab.
- Yes! Yes, yes, yes.
- This, this.
Fucking tight, tight.
Um, let me just get this going.
Uh--
I just got a universal cable
for, for half of this stuff.
I'm just not good with--
I'm more like a behind
the scenes
sort of creative on this. Um...
Yeah, we will move the mic.
I don't know about if I have
the full, uh, thing
- for the Pro Tools.
- Uh--
So sorry,
you gotta give me a minute.
Uh,
I haven't set
this thing up yet, so--
Uh, Iggy, is he good?
- 'Cause he doesn't look good.
- Oh, fuck. No.
- Yuriy! Hey!
You shouldn't be doing that.
Yo. Yuriy. What's up, bud?
You good? You cool, man?
You cool? You cool?
How you doing? How you feeling?
You good? You good?
He's good. He's good.
-He's good.
-He doesn't look good.
Bro, I--
I'm gonna be
honest with you, okay?
The kid's a fucking workhorse.
-Okay--
-Okay? We've been up three days,
three days straight.
Did he do all the fucking drugs?
-Uh, I don't know.
-What are you doing?
Bro, she's crazy.
-She's--
-No-- No, no, no, no, no, no--
-No. I'm sorry.
I should probably just leave.
-What's the matter?
-I should probably just
get out of here.
-Leave where? Where are you g--
No! No, no, no, no.
She's going to be out
of here in five minutes.
-...I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
-You're gonna leave on me.
You're gonna walk out.
We had a business deal.
-I'm sorry!
-We had a business deal.
Oh, my God, what do I do?
Iggy, what the fuck was that?
I'm gonna fucking
kill you, Vickie!
- You stupid bitch!
- Iggy, you're serious?
You stupid bitch!
I'm gonna fucking murder you!
Nice, mist--
Hey, we don't have any change
here for you, homeless man.
Okay, cool, Leon.
That's real cool.
-You weren't at home.
-Yeah, I got a date
with Ella later.
Cool. Uh, well,
I'm just gonna go fuck myself.
Whoa. What's going on with you?
Nothing, man.
Absolutely nothing.
What's the matter?
No good garbage
in the dumpster today?
-You know what, Leon?
You can shut the fuck up, okay?
-What?
I've been listening to this guy
since I was a little kid.
I'm tired of it.
How much more? How much more?
What? George. George,
your brother gonna talk to me
like that in my store?
I, uh, I don't know
what's going on with him.
-What the hell's
the matter with you?
-He keeps
calling me a bum.
He's a fucking bum.
He's a fucking bum.
I've never liked
this motherfucker either,
you know that?
-Because he's got a big mouth
and he's a fucking drunk.
-George, do me a favor.
-Take him outside, please,
before I cut your throat.
-You're gonna cut my throat?
- Yes, I will.
Yes, I wi-- -You're gonna cut my-- I'm gonna shove my foot so far up
-your fucking ass
I'm gonna kick your teeth out!
-Yes, I will.
-What the fuck was that?
-The guy gets
under my skin, bro.
You can't talk
to Leon like that.
He's an asshole!
Okay, but still.
I just--
I don't know
what to do anymore, bro.
I don't know what to do.
I'm just gonna jump off
a fucking bridge.
I try and I try and I try
and I try and everything's
fucked up.
-It's always fucked up.
-Okay, you're, you're talking
crazy right now.
Okay, wha-- wh-- what bridge?
Okay, you wanna go fucking
kill yourself, go do it.
But don't keep running around
Brooklyn acting like
a fucking maniac.
Just-- you were right, bro.
I'm just gonna get a job
and I'm gonna fuck off.
Yuriy fucked me.
Everybody fucks me.
Okay, calm down,
lower your voice, alright?
Go home, smoke a blunt,
put on TV, chill for a minute.
I'll be home in 25 minutes
and we can talk, alright?
I don't wanna smoke a blunt
and I don't wanna watch TV.
Listen.
Me and my girl, we're going
to some weird art thing
in Bushwick later.
You like Bushwick, right?
Come with us.
You're gonna like her, man.
Alright?
Okay.
I'm gonna go get my fucking cut.
I'll see you later, alright?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Ladies and gentleworms,
here we are.
We finally went and did it.
We brought it upon ourselves.
Last day of Babylon.
The prophecies have all
come true.
The end is nigh!
We've shit the bed.
We've screwed the pooch.
We're fucked.
Not so fast!
Why, who's this?
Why, it's me! Rat Bucko!
King of Poop Land.
- I've come to spread
the good word
that shit isn't so shit.
You see, good people,
they would have you think that
poop is vile, disgusting stuff.
But I'm here
to let you know that there is
nothing more untrue
in this here world.
Your poop contains
all your most powerful,
- massive...
- -This is where the liberals wanna take
-our tax money for.
-...magical gases
...that churn and burn
and make the world go round.
I beseech you,
brothers and sisters,
eat your poop...
...and come with me
-to a world upside down.
-That's fucking disgusting.
Like, it's disgusting.
But that's against nature!
Just eat your poop!
That was so sick.
-That was unbelievable.
-I know, I know.
-It was fun, right?
-Incredible.
Ezra's such a smart guy.
What did you think, George?
Did you like it?
I thought it was great. Yeah.
-Yeah?
-It was hilarious.
-Yeah, it was fine.
-Tell her it was funny.
It was funny...
You know, there's gonna be
an after party.
-Do you guys wanna go?
-Yes!
Absolutely. Abso-- Absolutely.
So she's finally sick of it.
She comes up to us and says,
I swear to-- I swear to God
I swear to God, this kid.
- Oh--
- Kid's up there like this.
He's looking around on a--
on the fuckin--
- on the vacuum, on the vacuum.
- What?
And he's like, "I'm looking
everywhere. I don't see it."
He's, like, a s--
like a sea captain.
He g-- Well, you know,
I always figured he was
a little thick, so--
- Iggy, why don't you tell her
about the time
that you shit your pants
at the movie theater?
And mom had to come pick you up
from your own birthday party.
-I-- I really--
I wasn't feeling good that day.
-Oh, okay.
It was a whole--
I'm gonna go to the bathroom.
Oh, you better hurry up
or else! Ah!
-Ella. Ella bella,
Ella bella.
-Oh! Hey, honey.
-Thank you so much for coming.
-Oh, my God.
-It was amazing.
-Uh, it was a mess tonight.
The cues and the pacing.
-It is what it is. Peter Pan
leading my Lost Boys.
-No. Y-- you're crazy.
-It was great. Yeah.
-You mean that? You promise?
-Of course. Mm-hmm.
-You swear?
-Okay.
-This is George, Ezra.
-Hi, George. Ezra. Yeah.
-Hey. Nice to meet you.
-How you doing?
-Good, good.
So tell me about yourself.
Are you, um...
are you in theater?
No.
No. I'm in, uh, I'm in sales.
Okay. Seriously?
Oh, that's interesting.
Great.
I like the-- I like show, man.
-Thank you. Thank you.
-Yeah, yeah.
Do you guys make
all those little creatures
-and puppets and stuff?
-Uh, you know, I don't know
if it's appropriate for me
to totally dissect
the whole process, you know?
It's not really what it's about.
I want it to be more of, like,
an intimate experience,
immediate.
And, um, I don't want
people dissecting it
in a reductive way.
Uh, Ella.
So good to see you. Oh, my God.
I have so many people
I have to say hi to,
But we're gonna get coffee,
-okay? Soon? Yeah? Catch up?
-Okay.
-Yeah.
-Alright.
- Great.
- Alright, man!
You sick fuck! Eat some shit!
Eat some rat shit!
Bro, that was fucking--
That was so good, bro.
Yo, you're fucking
twisted, dude.
-You're fucking crazy. Yeah!
-It's allegory. It's allegory.
Yeah, fuck yeah, it is.
Okay. Who are you?
I'm George's brother.
-Okay.
-Yeah, man,
that's fucking crazy stuff.
Crazy stuff.
Um, so let me talk to you.
Y-- so you make all these
puppets, or what's up?
Oh, I've known him forever.
It's so good to see him doing
his thing, you know?
Yeah, that's great.
What? What's wrong?
Nothing.
-What's wrong with you?
-Nothing.
I'm having a good time.
Okay, me too.
I'm having a blast, so--
-Oh, okay, good.
-Yeah, yeah.
You're obviously upset.
Oh, my God, I'm not upset.
I'm having a good time.
My brother's having a good time.
I don't know why
you're trying to ruin it
with this negative bullshit.
I don't wanna play
these games, alright?
Okay, you're fucking crazy.
- Okay, yeah, right.
- I'm crazy.
Alright, I'm gonna--
I'm gonna go get a drink,
and, uh, I'll let you
just have a minute, alright?
I like to think about the things
that I'm thinking about when
I'm not thinking about them.
-Mm. Yeah.
-Does that make sense?
It's sort of this sort of
liminal space
between conscious and,
and unconscious.
And in that space,
that's where life is.
Animal! Animal! Animal!
This is my new friend,
they just-- they just
let him out of somewhere.
Eat your shit! Eat your shit!
Yeah, bud, you--
you're touching me a lot.
You touch me a lot.
He's a fucking great.
Eat some shit.
Everybody, eat some shit.
Ezra, where did you find him?
I don't know. Sometimes,
uh, the universe, I think,
really just taps into something
that you need.
You know, I've been working
on this new project,
it's about
the scum of the Earth.
Hey, those guys are the best.
The fucking best.
What are you drinking?
-Uh, a martini.
-Mm!
-Tequila?
-No, uh, you've never had
a martini?
No, I thought it was a--
It's not a type of glass?
No, it's a drink.
-Get out. You're serious?
-Yeah.
-Uh-huh.
-What you doing?
Mm!
Mm-hmm. Tastes like olives.
-Yeah.
-That's good.
Why is George, uh,
why is George texting me?
George!
Why are you texting me?
George, come over here.
You waiting for the bathroom?
I think he's waiting
for the bathroom.
You waiting for the bathroom?
Come try this martini glass.
It's, um, it's like olives.
What's the matter?
- Huh? You constipated?
- Nothing--
Let me just say, come here.
I just wanna say
thank you so much, you guys.
I was not having a good day.
I wasn't feeling too hot,
but now...
best day
of my life, huh?
Best day of my life.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you so much.
Oh, my God!
What is he doing
with these hands?
-The power--
-He's always been like this,
I swear to God,
since he was a little kid.
A fucking maniac.
Always made
our whole family laugh.
It's fucking windy.
I hate it.
I hate the fucking wind.
Of course you do.
You hate everything.
- I don't hate everything.
I don't hate you.
Don't be like that, okay?
It's so negative.
Why? The wind sucks.
Think about it.
Why would you want somebody
just constantly blowing shit
in your face and eyes?
You're just trying
to walk down the street. No.
Even a cool breeze
is garbage water.
Oh, my God.
-What?
-Nothing.
Garbage water.
I like the way you talk.
-What's wrong with how I talk?
-Nothing.
Nothing. Oh, my God.
It's a good thing.
Actually, no,
it's not a good thing.
-It's not a bad thing.
-Ella, Ella, Ella.
Can I show you guys something
that's gonna blow your minds?
-Sure.
-Come on, come on.
Come on, come on, come on!
I wonder if I could lift it up.
I wonder if I c--
I wonder if I could just,
just bring it home.
-Don't. It's the garbage. Don't,
don't touch the garbage.
-What's in the garbage?
-What's wrong--
-It's dirty.
It's probably got bed bugs
-all over it.
-Why would it have bed bugs?
It's not a bed.
I gotta take a picture of this.
Hey, get in there.
-Yeah? Cool.
-Yeah.
Cool.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
Uh, okay.
Yes. Oh, my God.
- I'm an angel flying away.
-George, you wanna get in there?
- I'm good.
- I'm going up. I'm going
up. George, come in here.
-Come be my angel.
-I would not wanna take this
away from you.
-Come be my angel, my sweet boy.
-No way.
-Come on.
-No, no--
-George.
-You go. You go.
-You go. I got you. I got you.
-Alright.
- Alright.
- Alright, what do we do?
-This is, uh--
so we're sharing our wings.
-Um-- Yeah.
-We're angels. We're--
we dropped from heaven...
-Mm.
-Maybe we're conjoined angels.
-...to earth. We're
conjoined angels.
- Yeah.
- Alright.
-Ready?
-Mm-hmm.
Ella bella..
Yaniv,
what'd you ever think about
selling the store?
George, why are
you asking me this?
I just, I'v-- I've been thinking
a lot about my life,
you know, man?
I feel like I gotta,
I gotta make a move, you know?
I feel like I've been
treading water and,
and I-- I wanna do
something big, you know?
Georgie, I don't know.
We've a good thing going here.
Take care of you.
Plus, you don't wanna
have to worry about
the shit that I worry about.
Trust me, you're young.
We're th-- we're the same--
we're the same age.
I know, but still,
I feel like I'm older
'cause I have to worry about
so much more shit than you.
Okay, here's the--
Just hear me out.
Here, here's what I've been
thinking, okay?
I go to the bank,
I get a loan like you did.
I buy half the store to start,
half, Yaniv, okay?
So we split the money.
You don't even have
to come in, man.
I run everything.
Dude, think about it.
-Think about it.
-Look, look, look.
I appreciate the conversation.
I appreciate you,
and I respect you.
But come on.
I busted my ass getting
this place running.
When I first opened, I was here
every day alone, open to close.
Put myself in the hospital
overworking myself.
For this place. The hospital,
George, did you know that?
I don't wanna see you
in the hospital, Georgie.
I'll tell you what,
I'll think about it.
In the meantime, I think
my lunch is about ready.
- It's been about 40 minutes.
Uh, can you go pick it up?
Maybe, uh, put some bucks
in the meter too for me?
Thanks.
Sure, Yaniv.
Where do you wanna go?
We can go anywhere.
To the game?
To Florida?
Okay. We can go to Florida.
We can go anywhere, baby.
We can go anywhere you want.
How do I look in this big car?
Yeah? I look sexy?
I bet you want to fuck me
in this big car, don't you?
My dick is so fucking hard
right now, baby. Yeah.
Tight little asshole.
I'm gonna tear it up.
Wait, wait, wait!
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait!
Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait!
I paid it. I paid it.
- I hav--
- You didn't
display the ticket.
Are you kidding me?
I was sitting in the car.
- You didn't display it.
- Are you fucking kidding me?
Have a great fucking day!
You have a great fucking day!
Hey, this is Ella.
Leave a message.
Hey, babe.
Just calling to check in.
Oof.
Rough fucking day,
I'll tell you.
It's a good thing I got you.
I think I'd jump off a fucking
building if I didn't
have you.
Anyways, alright.
Just give me a call
when you have a second.
-Okay, bye.
-Hey, this is Ella.
Leave a message.
Hey, this is Ella.
Leave a message.
...'cause you know what?
They actually do make
Dunkaroos, bro.
They actually do make Dunkaroos.
You know how I know?
Because I get them shipped out
to me from Canada all the time.
'Cause you can't have them here
because of FDA regulation.
And you know what FDA
regulation means, right?
What does it mean?
Monsanto fucking contract.
It's all about this, bro.
It's all about money,
money, money, money.
-It's all anybody cares about.
-Word, bro. Word.
"Word, bro." Huh. "Word, bro.
I'm gonna chill
and fucking smoke my blunt
and eat my fucking
Cheetos, bro."
What are you, retarded, bro?
What are you doing?
Look at yourself.
Look at what you're doing.
My body's my temple, bro.
I pay attention to this
kind of shit.
Fucking sitting back,
sucking out Snapples
like an asshole.
Bro, I don't even drink
Snapples.
I don't care, bro.
Red Bulls, whatever it is.
Uh, Eugene, roll up.
Bro, is this a joke?
You fucking kidding me?
You throw me five and I roll up.
That's how it works.
- What are you, 15?
- $5.
$5? What the fuck is
the matter with you, bro?
I'm asking you to do one thing.
I never ask you to do anything.
You don't wanna roll up.
You don't wanna smoke.
You don't wanna smoke.
You know what?
I'm gonna roll up.
I'm gonna roll up
the fattest, juiciest,
most beautiful succulent blunt
you've ever seen.
And I'm gonna
fucking toke that thing
right into your fucking
ugly face.
Your fat, stupid, ugly,
cheeky, motherfucking face.
Yo, what's up, George?
Ella's fucking phone broke
or something.
Ella, I remember your brother
was telling me, from,
um, Westchester.
How come you never
brought her around?
What, is she too good for us?
Yes.
What does-- what does that mean?
Bro, she's like
a serious person.
I-- I can--
I can't take her around
this ridiculousness, man.
I...
I shouldn't even be here.
I'm, I'm trying to do more
with my life than get zooted
and take the sanitation test.
The sanitation test?
Bro, that's a good job.
I gotta go. I gotta go.
Yo, what's up with your brother?
I don't know, Mike.
What's up with my brother?
What's up with my brother?
And by my brother,
why are you asking me
about my brother?
The fuck do you care, bro?
Maybe he wants to do
something better
than...
than hanging out
with you fucking losers.
Maybe he wants to do
something big with his life.
Maybe I wanna do
something big with my life.
Wasting my fucking time.
- That's funny to you?
- Hell yeah.
Wha-- what i-- what is
going on with your phone?
-What the fuck is going on?
-What are you doing here?
I've been trying to get
in touch with you all day.
Jesus fucking Christ,
I was worried.
-Worried?
-Yeah.
I've been trying to get
in touch with you all day.
Your phone has been off.
Ella, you cannot do that to me.
I didn't do anything
to you, George. I--
-I left my charger.
-Hey, you just left
your charger.
I don't have
to explain myself to you.
Okay. Well, I'm just glad
to know that you're alive.
Yeah, I'm aliv-- What the fuck?
Why would I be dead?
George, what the fuck?
You're making me really nervous.
How do you think I felt?
I'm not under any obligation
to answer to you, okay?
I'm-- it's scary to me
that you think I am.
Ella, what do you think
a relationship is?
A relationship? No, I'm not
in a relationship with you.
I barely know you.
What are you talking about?
-Why are you doing this?
-Don't. Stop. You gotta--
you have to leave.
- Fine. Can I see you
after work, please?
- No.
This was a terrible idea.
I don't wanna
see you again, okay?
You-- you breaking up with me?
No, I'm not
breaking up with you.
I was never with you, okay?
I'm--
Let me just be really clear.
I do not want to see you again.
Ever.
Okay.
You're a monster? Okay.
You have no fucking heart,
alright?
Ella, I would've fucking
killed myself for you.
Get the fuck out!
Hey, bud, uh, are we
gonna have a problem here?
-Mind your own business.
-Listen, dude, she was
really clear, alright?
She doesn't want you here,
so you gotta leave,
-or I'm gonna call the cops.
-Ella,
tell this fucking guy
to get the fuck out of my face.
- Leave--
- I said get
the fuck out of my face!
Okay. Alright.
Listen, I'm sorry, okay?
I'm sorry.
- I'm calling the cops.
- I'm sorry. Don't-- don't--
hang up that fucking phone.
Please, hang up the phone.
-Ella.
-George, leave.
- It's ringing.
- Oh, is it fucking ringing?
Your ears are gonna be fucking
ringing, you fucking fuck.
Please go. Please.
Please.
I'm a good person, Ella.
- I left my tripod.
- Okay.
...coming through.
What are you doing?
I'm looking for anything
that I may have left here,
'cause I'm probably
not coming back here ever again.
Okay.
Why are you not coming back?
Are you serious?
-What?
-...real good.
You have nothing
that you wanna say to me?
Like what?
Alright, bro, whatever.
That's fucking stupid.
Okay.
How do you not care?
After everything
that I've done for you,
after all the fucking hustling,
-all the shit that
I've been setting up--
-What the fuck
did you do for me?
You never did anything for me.
I never did anything for you?
Nobody does shit for me.
I do shit for myself.
You think I need your help?
I don't need anybody.
-Bro, you need me
for your career.
-What career?
You're a little faggot
running around with a camera.
What,
are you gonna cry?
No.
What the fuck
do you think this shit is?
I can fucking kill you,
you fucking little pussy.
I can take you by the neck
and fucking kill you right now.
I don't give a flying fuck!
Get your shit and fucking go
because I swear to God,
I see one tear,
I'm gonna break your face
against the fucking table.
You fucking little girl.
I care about you, Yuriy.
I'm gonna go fuck my girl
and take a nap.
Go home and cry and go work
on my career, you fucking pussy.
Go do something with your time.
What, are you obsessed
with me, you faggot?
Fuck is the matter with you,
trying to scare me?
I'll fucking feed your own cock
to you out of a bowl
like a fucking dog.
Go, little boy, go.
The milk's still bad.
What the fuck ar--
What the fuck?
What the fuck are you--
Yeah.
I'm gonna fucking kill you.
Holy shit.
Holy fuck.
-Holy fuck.
-George?
-Iggy, Iggy, Iggy. Oh, my God.
-George, it's in my leg!
-What the fuck?
-I'm so fucking sorry.
-George, what the fuck?

Oh, no!
Oh, no, no, no!

Calm down, alright?

Iggy, Iggy.
Fuck, what are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do? Okay.
What are you gonna do, Iggy?
Um, um, alright.
It's in there.
It's all the way
in my fucking leg.
-It's all the way
in my fucking--
-Holy shit.
Holy fucking shit.
-Oh, my God.
-It's all the way in there.
Iggy, I'm sorry, alright?
I didn't-- I didn't mean--
Oh, God, oh, God,
oh, God, oh, God.
-Oh, God--
-Okay, what d-- what do we do?
What do we-- I--
Holy shit.
Holy fucking shit.
Gotta, um, call an ambulance.

No, please, please, please,

I know, Iggy, it'll be okay,
Iggy. It'll be okay, alright?
I just-- it'll be okay.
I just-- just sit down

How do you want me to sit?
How do you want me to sit?
...what's the emergency?
Yeah, I, I need an ambulance
to 3030 Ocean Avenue.
-Oh, God, oh, God.
-Apartment 32.
There's been a stabbing.
He's breathing,
he's aw-- he's awake.
- Yep.
I'm gonna kill you.
I'll fucking kill you.
Alright.
Okay.
-They're coming, Iggy.
-Good!
I need you
to do something for me.
What? What, you wanna cut
my fucking eyes out?
Iggy, when they come,
don't cover for me.
-Tell them I did, alright?
-Of course I'm gonna tell them
what happened. I'm gonna
tell them a fucking psycho
is running around
stabbing people
in the fucking leg!
Good. Good.
You being dramatic
or are you being serious?
I'm serious.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry that
I poured old milk all over you.
I'm sorry, but you can't go
to fucking jail.
You can't go,
you can't go to fucking jail.
Iggy, I can't.
I can't keep going like this.
I can't.
I can't keep going like this.
I d-- I don't--
I don't feel
like the person that I am.
I don't know how
that I'm this fucking person.
I don't wanna be who I am.
I need to go.
George, you can't go to jail,
you fucking idiot.
Wha-- what do you think
that's gonna do?
You still gonna be you.
You still gonna be
a fucking idiot.
But you're just gonna have
more fucking problems
'cause you spent
your time in jail.
No.
I need to go.
-I deserve to go.
-No, no--
Yeah, I do, okay?
And it's gonna be good for me,
alright?
Iggy, okay, buddy?
I am so sorry, Iggy.
Fuck.
George, I need you--
I need you to do me a favor.
I have a half an ounce
of weed on the table.
I need you to go hide it
before they get here.
Okay, yeah.
Fucking stupid.
I wanna go to Florida, George!
I wanna go to Disney World!
Mom and Dad said they were gonna
take us to Disney World,
they never fucking took us
to Disney World.
Every kid should be able
to go to Disney World.
It's magic,
and we didn't get to go.
It's fucking magic, bro.
It is magic, Iggy, it is.
Alright? And when,
when I get out...
...when I get out,
we're gonna go, alright?
You stupid-- fucking--
Iggy.
Listen, buddy.
I, I-- This is crazy.
I-- I changed my mind.
I don't know what the fuck
I'm talking about.
I can't go to fucking jail.
I can't go to jail.
What?
Yeah, man, I-- I--
It's, it's jail.
Have you seen me?
I'm like--
no.
I-- I, I'll fucking kill myself
before I go to jail.
I'll jump right out
that fucking window. I'm not,
I'm not going,
I'm not going to jail.
A guy like me? Come on.
They'll fucking kill me
in there. I can't go to jail.
So, just listen,
when they come here...
- tell them...
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
...tell them,
tell them that you fell.
