and happy Valentine's Day
on this Friday, February 14th.

Do you like that?
You love that tight pussy.
Oh, yeah.
Ah, fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Fuck, your cock's
so fucking big.
Yeah, your cock's so big.
Yeah, you should fucking
cum inside me, baby.
Can you...
What, baby?
Can you be quiet?
You normally like it
when I talk like that.
Yeah. Not today, okay?
- Okay.
- Not today.
Whatever you want, baby.
- Let's go.
- Okay, yeah.
Yeah.
My heart can feel the pain
Feel it right now
My heart can feel the pain
Deep, deep down inside
I have the notion
that all you want
Is to protect
your foolish pride
Without a doubt
I love you inside out
And I've never, never felt
This way before
I'm just a nervous wreck
You've got me so upset
My heart can feel the pain
Yeah, my heart
can feel the pain
Feel it right now
Yeah, hey, my heart
can feel the pain
Only you can wake up
this feeling within
I'm begging to stop
I can't take it no more
And it's the same
thing over again
I can feel it
My heart can feel the pain
Deep, deep down inside
I have a notion
that all you want
Is to protect your
foolish pride
I need you so,
I need you so
My heart can't
take it no more
- Hey, gorgeous.
- Good morning.
- Look what I got.
- What?
You're a lifesaver.
How was it out there?
Yeah, you know, same
shit, different day.
You know, you don't gotta
take extra johns out there.
I don't mind.
I wanna pay Vinny
back, you know?
Hmm.
So, how you feeling?
- Just pregnant as fuck.
- Aww.
You remember that one time
junior year in high school
when you pretended
to be pregnant
to get out of gym class?
Little did I know, Mr.
Peppetti used to get off
on 17-year-old pregnant girls.
"Hey. Hey, Angel, how
far along are you?"
- Oh my God.
- "Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah?"
Fucking perv!
God.
But in four months
it's gonna be for real.
Gianna Isabella Marino.
And Ponyboi is gonna
be your godfather.
Angel, I told you, if
I step into a church,
I'll burst into flames.
Yeah, shut up.
- I don't make the rules.
- I got you a little something.
Oh yeah, what?
Oh, it's nothing.
Over here.
I, I was making it
with Teresa's kids
and I thought, what the hell?
- It's so cute.
- Yeah, see, we're matching.
Oh, honey.
- Happy Valentine's.
- Thank you.
Happy Valentine's, baby.
I, um...
I gotta go home.
Vinny's taking me out
for lobster tonight.
- Ooh.
- Yeah.
How fancy.
You know, you're
gonna find a man.
Not like these riffraff that
come crawling up in here.
A real man that treats you
like the queen you are.
You really think so?
I do.
By the tip of these French tips.
I pinky promise.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Alright.
- Mm-hmm.
Hey, uh, anyone happen to see
the most gorgeous
girl in New Jersey?
Hey!
Hey.
Come here, baby.
- Gorgeous mother of my child.
- Oh my God.
You look so hot.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Hey, happy Valentine's, honey.
Aw, thank you.
Is it okay if I go home?
My tummy's been
feeling kinda icky.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, is that okay?
Of course, yeah, I
don't need you tonight.
Okay.
Gotta take care of
our little peanut.
Yeah, you're so sweet.
That's my daughter
right there.
Yeah.
- Yeah, we got a big night.
- Okay.
Uh, reservation at 8:30, so.
- 8:30.
- Yeah, I'll pick you up later.
- I'll be ready.
- It's gonna be hot.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, you do something
sweet for yourself, okay?
Yeah, I will.
Okay.
- Hey, I love you.
- Love you.
Okay.
- I love you so much, baby.
- I love you.
I love you so much!
Get out of here.
Damn.
What, you thought I
forgot about you?
Huh?
Take that shit out.
Must've stole this.
Mm-hmm..
Yeah, Vinny.
You really know
how to treat a girl.
Yeah, you know I
treat my bitches right.
Look at these.
Are these are new?
- I like these.
- I ain't your bitch.
You're right.
You're right, yeah, okay.
I forgot, uh...
What are you? You
my little princess?
Hmm?
Mm, my little pony?
- Yo, stop.
- You know you love it.
My little pony.
Mm-hmm. Mm.
Fuck.
So, you wanna fuck or what?
What do you think?
- I love it.
- Shit goes hard, huh?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
Yo, check this shit.
Mm. Alright.
I'm busting up
this shit right now.
Mm, mm.
Yeah, so check it, now check it.
So, I'm a hard hitter
My farts taste thicker
I ain't sipping
the white hoes
I only shoot the dark liquor
Highest bidder, ma
didn't raise no quitter
After my geometry,
isosceles the babysitter
Yeah, fuck with no condom,
shit's got me on trial
Practice oral cosmetics,
put white in her smile
Staying firm in the law,
my physics defy Bible
Judge, I swear on oath, I
come a river, no de-Nile
Uh, ladies call me Cenzo
'Cause they know
that dick bigger
Rich cracker on the outside,
but I fuck like a--
Vinny, it's really dope.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, I love it.
You're so talented.
Baby, stop it, see,
that's why I love you.
Right.
Yo, Sticky said he's got
some boys in the city.
Mm.
He said I could sell
some tracks to him.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Got the baby coming in
a few months, you know.
Daddy's gotta hustle.
Yeah.
Vincenzo.
What up, Lucky?
Yeah, I got new shit.
Yo, I can't fucking hear you,
bro, you're breaking up.
Oh yeah, yeah, it's real pure,
purer than a nun's pussy.
Nah, I said it's purer
than a nun's pussy.
A nun's pussy.
'Cause it's pure--
Yo, forget it.
Alright, I'll cut
you a good deal,
friends and family rate, mm-hmm?
Bet, Ponyboi will see you.
Lucky's gonna be here at 8:00.
Fuck, yeah!
You said I had the night off.
Yeah, not no more.
This fat fuck just
became our VIP.
He's gonna get me
in with his brother
for the night's drop,
and that's big shit.
So, I need you to show
him good time, alright?
Here, give him that Tina.
Cooked that shit myself,
call it the "Proud Mary"
'cause it keeps on burning.
The fuck, Vinny?
It smells like Pine-Sol.
It's the same shit, it
just cost me less, alright?
He ain't gonna know
the difference, trust me.
You really think it's
worth selling this shit
just to make a
little more money?
Yeah, well, if
you weren't sloppy,
maybe I wouldn't have to bail
your ass out all the time.
So watch your fucking mouth.
Yo, and I told you
I'd pay you back.
I've been working the
Turnpike all night.
Talking back to me, hmm?
Look at me.
I don't wanna fight.
So, be a good little girl
and do as you're told.
Okay?
Look, if you wanna pay me back,
I actually been meaning
to ask you something.
What?
Got a lot of
homies hitting me up
for chicks with dicks.
I noticed your hormones are low.
Could probably get Dr.
Russo to hook it up.
Switch you to estrogen? Hmm?
What do you think?
- I'll think about it.
- Hmm.
You know, I'd also pay for
you to get your tits done.
So, you don't gotta wait for
the hormones to kick in.
I'll think about it.
Oh baby, whatever you
want, whatever you want.
Goddamn.
I think you make
a beautiful woman.
Good for business, too.
It's cold out.
Get dressed.
Now, on some real shit.
If I was Janellie, I
would've done the same shit.
How you gonna go ruin a
kid's birthday like that?
Bitch, if my man wasn't
paying child support
and I found out he was paying
for some other bitch's kid's
party at Chuck E. Cheese's,
oh, I'm rolling up on that ass.
I'm getting there early as fuck,
getting me a greasy
slice of pizza.
Y'all are eating.
Fuckin' up that salad bar
before I fuck his ass out.
Yo, dead ass, you'd be
the baby mama from hell.
All I'm saying is, when
a nigga got it coming...
He got it coming.
And I ain't afraid to lay
the hurt on his ass, either.
Good morning.
- Hey, Foxxxy.
- Hi, hon.
Muah, muah.
How you doing?
How was it last night?
Uh, you know, same shit.
That's mad cute. Is it new?
So damn nosy. No, it's old.
My titties just
finally fill it out.
Yo, yo, yo, what's going on?
We talking about titties?
Good morning, Vinny.
Good
morning. How'd we do?
Thank you.
Thank you, boos.
Damn. Smells
like a good night.
Alright, look, remember,
charge extra tonight.
It's Valentine's Day, alright?
Let's fleece these
motherfuckers,
supply, demand and shit.
Okay, Vinny, with the
intro to business lessons.
Nah, bro, on some real shit,
niggas be mad sentimental
on Valentine's Day.
Mm.
- We deserve the upcharge.
- That's right.
Alright, I gotta bounce.
Y'all be safe tonight, yeah?
Peace.
Bye.
Y'all still wanna hang
out after your shift?
- Hell yeah, I wanna hang out.
- I'm trying to get drunk.
Alright,
let's do it.
I got my outfit picked out!
Fucking kidding me.
- Who was it?
- My mom.
She's been fucking calling
me all fucking week.
Fuck that bitch.
Don't need to waste
your minutes on her.
You got all the family
you need right here.
Love you, boo.
- Love you.
- Look, we gotta go.
Alright, take
care. See you later tonight.
- Mm-hmm.
- Alright.
- Love you.
- Bye.
Girl, come on.
Why are you running?
'Cause I gotta
get out these shoes.
Come on.
Great news
for commuters and travelers.
The New Jersey Bus Drivers
Union has reached an agreement.
Normal services will
resume tomorrow morning.
In other news,
a three alarm fire has
damaged at least three
or more homes late
Wednesday night...
Fuck.
Hello?
Hola, Ma.
I was living in
fucking gas stations,
because of him.
Oh, wow.
Fuck you.
Goodbye.
They say you found
somebody new
But that don't stop
my loving you
I just can't let you leave
Forget the love
I have for you
Guess I could find
somebody, too
But I don't want
no one but you
Hey.
Howdy.
Can I help you?
I can manage, thanks.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, well, um, if
you need any help,
just let me know.
I'll be here.
All night.
Sweet ride you got out there.
Thanks, Ponyboi.
How do you know my name?
Oh, yeah.
Right, the...
I'm Bruce.
Oh, like Springsteen.
You a big fan?
Yeah.
Every Jersey girl is.
What's your favorite song?
Hmm, that's tough.
Probably "I'm On Fire."
Hmm.
You know that one?
Hey, little girl,
is your daddy home?
Did he go and leave
you all alone?
I got a bad desire
You
got a good voice.
Well, thank you very much.
Tell me now, baby,
is he good to you?
- No.
- Come on, now.
- No, you don't want to hear me.
- Oh, I do.
Can he do to you the
things that I do?
Oh, I can take you higher
Oh, oh, I'm on fire
You're not too bad yourself.
Thank you.
You're not from
around here, are you?
Can you tell?
Yeah.
- I live in Vegas.
- Really?
You ever been?
No, I've never even
been on a plane before,
but I've always wanted to go.
Like, if I ever got married,
on my honeymoon or something.
I know, it's a dumb dream.
No, no. I'm a sucker for
those pretty lights myself.
I'm actually on my way.
In the middle of the night?
Nothing my Mustang
can't handle.
Hey, Ponyboi,
I'm sorry I'm late.
You wouldn't believe
the traffic.
Not only that, my cab
driver doesn't know shit.
Gets off the wrong exit,
puts me on Fish House Road,
and there's an overturned
tractor trailer.
Yeah, Lucky, just
wait in the back.
I'll be right there.
Tell you the Pulaski
Skyway, Turnpike,
whole goddamn state's a mess.
Oh, and Roberta,
she makes me drive all
the way to Fort Lee,
'cause I got the wrong
mozzarella for dinner.
Are you kidding me?
That's crazy.
She's crazy, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's fucking crazy.
I'm telling you,
kid, don't ever get married.
Now if I don't make
the money drop in time,
Two Tone's gonna kill me.
Well, honey, then
let's make this quick.
You don't want to piss
your brother off.
Vinny tells me you guys got
some uh, great new crystal.
We sure do.
Ooh, let me try some.
Come here, baby.
Ah, thank you, baby.
Ooh.
That's fucking great.
I'm glad you like it.
For you, and for Vinny.
Thank you, baby.
Set the mood.
Sweet.
Come on. Smoke with me.
- No, honey.
- Come on, just a little bit.
Come on.
I want you to feel good, too.
- Come on.
- Okay, okay.
That's my girl.
Come on, baby.
I can protect you.
Give you a home.
My little pony.
Holy fuck.
Good, isn't it?
Yeah.
Damn, baby, you're so warm.
You got me so hot, baby.
Let me get another hit.
- You sure?
- Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh. This
is fucking great.
Ohh, ohh.
You like that?
Oh, yeah, baby.
You know what I like.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, you like that?
Yeah?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's it.
Oh, fuck, baby.
Fuck.
Oh my God. Oh my God.
Oh, baby.
Baby, that was so fucking good.
Baby?
Lucky?
Lucky?
Lucky.
Lucky, wake up.
This isn't funny, Lucky.
Lucky, wake the fuck up.
Lucky?
Wake up, you fat fuck!
Fuck.
Oh my God. Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
911,
what's your emergency?
- Nothing, sorry, wrong number.
- What up?
- Hey.
Where you at?
Um, can you come
to Fluff N' Stuff?
Mm. No, I got dinner soon.
All I got is
this stupid cherry shit.
That's okay, baby, thank you.
Who the fuck is that?
Oh, it's Gina.
You're going to
meet her tonight.
She's joining the family. God.
I ain't going to be able to
make it down there, though.
You good? You need something?
No. I'm good.
Hey, you want to
try this new Tina?
You wanna push it for me, baby?
Yeah?
Oh my God, it's so pretty.
Where the fuck is my T?
It's fucking all out?
Fuck.
Yes!
Shit.
Holy shit.
Oh my God.
Bye, Lucky.
I'm sorry.
- Here.
- Thanks.
Angel.
My dad's dying.
What?
I really think I
should go down the shore
to Point Pleasant and see him.
Yeah, you gotta.
You think maybe I
could borrow your car?
Oh, you don't want
to take the bus?
The buses, they're not
running, 'cause of the strike.
But I should really
be there, you know?
Yeah, yeah, of course, hon.
Don't worry about it. Here.
Who you calling?
Well, it's
technically not my car,
so I just got to run it by
Vinny, but he'll understand.
No!
I don't want to worry him.
So I'll just take the car and
I'll be back in a few days.
Easy.
What's going on?
Nothing, Angel.
My dad's sick.
No, something's up.
My mom's been
calling me all week.
Look.
See?
Why do you have
Lucky's briefcase?
Oh, that.
That's a Valentine's Day gift.
He gave you his briefcase
for Valentine's Day?
Yeah, um, I always told him
how I wanted a briefcase,
so, his specifically,
and uh, he gave
me his briefcase.
Yeah, he's so sweet,
Lucky, you know?
Angel, what the fuck
is the big deal?
It's your fucking car.
Aren't you supposed to
be my best friend?
Oh, don't give me that.
I would gladly give you my car.
But you're lying
about something.
The only liar here
is your boyfriend.
What's that supposed to mean?
He's cheating on you, Angel.
With who?
Who isn't he fucking?
He's a bad person.
And we shouldn't be
around him anymore.
Look, he's pushing shitty
Tina, it could kill somebody.
Is he fucking you?
No, of course not, Angel.
No. No.
You're a fucking liar.
I didn't think you
were this twisted.
Is your dad even sick?
You know what? I
don't want to know.
I don't even care, get
the fuck out of my house.
Get the fuck out of my house.
- Angel, come on.
- Now!
Yo, baby.
Ready for some filet mig-non?
Fuck, fuck.
Oh, that's good fucking wine.
Mm, mm.
You look beautiful tonight.
Baby, what's going on?
Why are you not eating?
- Is there enough croutons?
- No.
Sweetheart, can we get some
croutons over here, please?
It's okay, don't
listen to him.
- It's not okay.
- Thank you.
There's like fucking
three in there.
- It's fine.
- It's Valentine's Day.
Thank you.
You know how much fucking
money I spend in this place?
Are you cheating on me?
Where the fuck
did that come from?
- Just answer the question.
- Of course not.
What the fuck?
Ponyboi told me you were.
He said you've been cheating
on me with a lot of girls.
And with him.
Is that so?
What the fuck is so funny?
I mean, it's hilarious.
It's fucking bullshit, babe.
Hmm? Come on.
Are you seriously
gonna listen to him?
What, is he down to like,
two fucking brain cells?
- Why would he lie to me?
- 'Cause he's jealous of you.
That's why.
Hmm?
He's jealous of what we have.
You got everything he wants.
You're beautiful.
You got a good heart.
Got a little baby on the way.
You're gonna be an
excellent mother.
I know, I know. It's sad.
He's like a compulsive
liar or some shit.
I mean, he's like--
I mean, come on,
he can't even decide
if he's a dude or a chick.
I'm thinking about
letting him go.
- Really?
- Oh, yeah.
I mean, we don't got
time for this shit.
Not with the baby coming.
Hmm?
Come here, gimme your hand.
Right?
I love you more than anything.
I love you, too.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
You know you're
my entire world, right?
- Yeah.
- Hmm, hmm?
Hmm?
- Vinny.
- What?
- Vinny.
- Oh, what?
Are there people around?
Goddamn.
Got to do a little tinkle, okay?
- You're disgusting.
- I love you, baby.
I'll be right back.
Fuck.
- When you're
finished recording,
you may hang up or press
one for more options.
Hey, you little
fucking piece of shit.
I know what you did.
Try to fuck me like
this, I will bury you.
You hear me? You're
fucking dead.
Hey, Mick.
You got any testosterone
I could buy off of you?
Fuck.
Yeah? You'll be there tonight?
Okay, yeah, I'll swing by.
Alright.
Yeah, thanks, hon.
You sound like dick.
Deadass, I'ma slap
the shit out of you.
Hello,
no one is available.
Straight to voicemail again.
Where the fuck is he at?
Fuck if I know.
Ponyboi!
Ponyboi?
Ponyboi?
Hey. Oh my God.
- Shit.
- Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Is he dead?
He's dead, isn't he?
- He's dead!
- He's dead!
Don't touch him.
Oh shit.
Fuck.
Call Vinny.
Bitch, call Vinny!
No, Vinny, I can't have it.
Okay, okay.
Vincenzo.
Baby, what's wrong?
Get the check, babe.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Little fucking,
motherfucking bitch!
He wouldn't do this.
Baby, wake up, please, okay?
Your friend ain't
who you think he is.
He killed this fucking dude
and he stole all
my fucking money.
He's a little fucking snake.
Alright, bitches,
come on, I need you.
- Let's go, help.
- No.
No, fuck this!
- What the fuck?
- Come on, we gotta go.
Fuck that?
Yeah, it's above my pay grade.
The hell it fucking is.
- I'm so sorry.
- Yo, get your ass back!
Alright, so that's
how it's gonna be?
Yeah, I'm gonna
remember that shit.
Fuck, fat fuck.
Angel, baby, you just
gonna fucking stand there
or are you gonna help me?
Please, grab the
legs, something.
Let's go, come on.
Oh my God.
Oh the count of
three. Let's go.
You can do it. Ready?
Oh, fuck.
Fuck. Fuck!
Okay.
Okay, baby, look
at me, look at me.
It should be cool, alright?
Very quietly, get rid of this.
You can fucking do
it, I know you can.
Yo, yo, yo, yo!
Wow, Two Tone?
In my laundromat?
Good to see you.
Celio, what's going on?
- Shut the fuck up.
- Sure.
Where's Lucky?
I, I don't know
where Lucky is.
My dear brother
is more loyal to me
than a fucking golden retriever.
You follow?
Gotta be honest,
I don't know what the fuck
you're talking about.
I know he comes here
to fuck your prostitutes.
Some whore named Ponyboi.
That's quite the fucking
name if you ask me.
So, where is he?
- Motherfucker.
- Excuse me?
No, no, no, I'm
not talking to you.
I'm talking about Ponyboi, okay?
He doesn't even
work here anymore.
Now you're calling me a liar?
No, no, no, that's
not what I'm saying.
What are you saying?
I'm saying I dropped
that fucking meth-head
about two months ago,
alright, before Christmas.
He must be sneaking
in behind my back
or something, right?
Meeting his johns in
here, son of a bitch.
Oh, fuck.
Where are we going?
This fucking place,
look at this shithole.
I swear to you, on my mother,
Ponyboi's the one you want.
You will find my
fucking brother,
you understand that?
You understand what the
fuck I'm telling you?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
You
hear me, princess?
I got you.
Get the fuck out of here.
Asshole.
Fuck you.
Baby?
Baby, where the fuck are you?
You're so fucking amazing.
- Is he gone?
- Yeah.
You okay? I'm sorry.
You did so fucking good, baby.
You did so goddamn good.
Listen, he's gonna-
I think I gotta find this
fuck before the drop.
The drop?
Cancel it, cancel it.
- We got a situation.
- Cancel it?
Ain't no fucking way
am I canceling, baby.
It could all look suspicious.
Plus, we got mad people
buying tonight, huh?
You know how fucking
big this is for me?
You know how close I am?
- He could be anywhere.
- Yeah, I know that, baby!
I'm sorry. That
was condescending.
I'm just trying
to fucking-- fuck.
Fuck! I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Just thinking.
I know where he fucking is.
Listen, hey, hey, look at me.
You just stay here and
watch the place, alright?
Take that.
What the hell am I
supposed to do this?
Take that, baby. You gotta
protect yourself, alright?
And now, baby. Listen, I'm gonna
go take care of everything.
And I'll be right
back. I promise.
- You gotta trust me, okay?
- Vinny.
Yeah, you know how much I
fucking love you, my Angel.
And then it's just gonna
be you and me, alright?
Us.
I love you so fucking much.
Hey, Mick.
Well, look who it is.
Happy Valentine's Day.
How you doing?
Better now.
Um, so is Russo in?
Oh, yeah. You just missed him.
New guy's in.
But good luck. He has
never helped me out.
Fuck.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
I'm leaving town tonight,
so I'm looking to stock up.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
Um, I just need to
get these hormones,
so no matter where I go, I
can still be me, you know?
Yeah.
Look, let me try my
luck here. Thanks, hon.
I go to Charlie in
Newark, at the Empress.
Yeah. Um, but me and
her don't really...
Look, thanks for
your help, Mick.
Assistance needed
in dental care.
Hello?
What?
I'm on break.
Hi.
Um, is Dr. Russo here today?
No. He's not here tonight.
Damn.
Can I help you?
Well, he usually helps
me get my hormones.
I don't suppose maybe
you could help me out?
You asking me to
illegally sell you
a Schedule III
controlled substance?
Well, you said it, not me.
You have beautiful lips.
Thank you.
I got 15 more
minutes left on break.
Make them worth my while,
I'll see what I can do.
Mom? Mom?
Assistance needed in aisle 9.
Uh, do you prefer injection?
Oh, uh, I don't take estrogen.
What?
Uh, yeah, I take testosterone.
Why the hell do you take that?
Because that's what I take.
Aren't you a
transsexual woman?
No.
I'm intersex.
Like a hermaphrodite?
Could you just give
me the fucking T?
- Please?
- Yeah.
Sure.
Looks like we're out.
What?
We were supposed
to receive a shipment today.
There must have been a delay.
Are you fucking serious?
If you want more
feminine features,
you should really
be taking estrogen.
Yeah, I know what the
fuck estrogen does.
- Keep your voice down.
- Or what?
You're gonna tell everyone
how you just blew me?
You
need to leave. Now.
Fuck you!
- What the fuck?
- Keep walking, keep walking.
- What the fuck?
- What'd you think, huh?
You think I wouldn't
fucking find you, huh?
- Get off him, get off him!
- Who the fuck are you, bro?
Fuck you!
I'm the wrong motherfucker.
The wrong fucking one.
Got me fucking going now.
Where you going?
Fuck.
Intersex variation.
Anorchia.
Absence of testes.
Treatment, testosterone
replacement therapy
and testicular
prosthetic implants.
Don't worry.
We will make you a normal boy.
If I should try to
chase from your mind
A memory so pleasing
I'm leaving behind
Think only of the best
And always remember me
Remember me
Oh, I'll just
leave for a while
Now I'll come back
to you someday
- That was a close one.
How long were you out there?
I'm not sure.
Coffee?
Where are we?
Call yourself a Jersey girl,
can't tell you're in a diner?
I've been to my share
of diners in America.
There ain't nothing
like a Jersey diner.
That's 'cause diners
were invented in Jersey.
Is that right?
Mm-hmm.
1912, Union City,
built by Jerry O'Mahony.
Hot damn.
I might be a Jersey girl, but
that don't mean I'm stupid.
I never thought you were.
I bet you were bright.
I got shit grades, but
I always liked history.
What about it?
I just think it's really
interesting how some people
fuck shit up,
but then there's other people
trying to make shit better.
Like they got something
different going on in them.
Everyone has that.
- I don't think so.
- It's true.
Even you.
You still on
your way to Vegas?
Man of my word.
Can I come with you?
I could pitch in
for gas and stuff.
-I could--
- You running from something?
No. I just...
I never left Jersey and I'm
itching for a new start.
- Keep your money.
- For real?
You can come
on one condition.
I want to get to know you.
What do you mean?
I love nothing more
than a good story.
And seems like you've
got one or two.
Buddy, I could
write a whole book.
Bestseller, I'm sure.
So, what?
You want to know my whole
fucking life story?
Kid, relax.
You don't got to say
nothing you don't want.
I just reckon there's a
God-given reason why I walked
into your laundromat
this evening.
And why I found you
freezing your ass off
by the side of the road,
about to meet your maker.
You see what I'm getting at?
Yeah.
Fine.
I can do that.
Then you got yourself a deal.
You pinky promise?
I'm a man of my word.
You gotta bite on it or
else you don't mean it.
You're a wild one,
you know that?
I said bite on it.
I just gotta make one stop.
There's an old
friend I need to see.
That's
right, I forgot.
You're right, you're my
little princess, right?
My little pony.
Mm-hmm.
Fuck.
So, you wanna fuck or what?
Vinny, where you at?
Vinny?
Hey, hey, hey! Hey!
- Can I help you?
- Uh, hi!
Oh my God.
I love your makeup.
Oh, and the diamonds
in your nails?
Oh, yo, dead ass.
You're so fucking pretty.
Hey, are you good?
Uh yeah, is Vinny here?
Vinny, Vinny!
Hey, baby.
- Who are you?
- I'm Gina.
- Gina?
- I'm gonna be working here.
Hi, I'm Angel.
I'm the manager here.
Yeah, so, so you met with Vinny?
Uh, yeah, today.
Yeah? Where'd y'all meet?
Lincoln Tunnel Motel.
Foxxxy was right.
His dick is huge.
Have you fucked him yet?
- Oh, sh--
- Hey, hey!
Oh my God!
Fuck, Gina!
Just breathe. Stay
with me, okay?
Okay, okay.
Teresa?
Teresa, I need you
to come here, okay?
My friend, my, my
friend is sick, okay?
So, what about you?
Who taught you how to drive?
My father.
And? How was that?
Fine.
What kind of
car did y'all drive?
A red pickup truck.
Cherry red.
- Mm.
- I loved that truck.
What'd you love about it?
I don't really know.
My mom said when I was
little, I used to cry a lot.
So, my dad would put
me in his pickup truck
in a car seat,
and we'd drive all
around Point Pleasant.
It was the only thing that
would help me fall asleep
some nights.
It kind of became our
thing growing up.
- Hmm.
- Going for drives in the truck.
But then I got older
and things changed.
What changed?
Well, for starters, he
wasn't a big fan of all this.
And then one night
in high school,
I took the truck
out without asking
and took it to a party
and fucking totaled it.
And that was the beginning
of the end there.
For the truck, and for us.
I bet he misses you.
- You are my church
You are my place of worship
I heard you're the plug
and I'll be the circuit
When I got court, I hope
that you're the verdict
When you're around, my
insides turn inverted
My blood starts to rush
when I see you, doorman
I know you're nearby
and I know your purpose
Take one look at you,
your heaven's incarnate
What is the spell, baby?
Please show some mercy
Melting like
An ice cream when you...
- Thanks.
And where's Charlie?
Melting, you're a daydream
Stay a while
I pray that I can
learn to be funny
Mm.
So what's with the name?
I know your mama didn't
name you Ponyboi.
No, my daddy did.
And how'd he
come up with that?
When I was little, I
was obsessed with ponies.
And whenever I went
to the doctors,
he said if I was a good
boy, he'd get me a pony.
Did he ever get you one?
No.
But he used to win me knockoff
My Little Pony dolls
on the boardwalk.
He knew they were for girls,
but he wanted to cheer me up.
This one was my favorite.
But I had a whole collection.
Maybe like 60.
- Oh.
Why were you at the
doctor so much?
I was born a little different.
I like that you're different.
Give it up for the queen
from Queens, Miss Gloria Rosa.
It's my favorite
time of the year.
Happy Valentine's Day from
all of us here at the Empress.
And if you have a song
to sing for your love,
yeah, I'm looking at you.
Don't be shy.
Get up here.
Yeah, in your dreams.
This already is.
Get up.
Get your fucking hands off me!
Look, let me explain
myself at least.
Let me be clear
with you, Ponyboi.
I don't fuck with you.
I just got a call that my
girl Gina's in the hospital.
That is my fucking family, okay?
Me and my girls built this place
from the ground up after
I left that laundromat.
And I remember
the day that I left,
because you were still
new to the block.
I thought, you know what?
She a awkward little queen.
But she gonna be alright.
She got a good head
on her shoulder.
She'll know better than
to fuck around with Vinny.
- It ain't that easy.
- Well, obviously it is.
'Cause you know what, Ponyboi?
There's boys like you running
around looking all stupid,
swearing up and down
you one of the girls
that gets real girls
like us murdered.
- Are you fucking serious?
- Yeah, I'm fucking serious.
What makes me different than
you or any of your girls?
What makes you the same?
We both do what we
gotta do to get by.
I know damn well there's
things you've done
that you ain't proud of.
But I don't fault you for them.
Yeah, I stuck around too long.
But tonight, I'm getting out.
Just like you.
It's been a long fucking day.
I just need one person,
one person to cut me
a fucking break,
and I thought that
was gonna be you.
Sit down.
Sit down, Ponyboi.
What do you want?
I just need some testosterone.
Yeah, so um...
How much can I get for this?
What?
I don't know.
You tell me.
This whole day, I've been
running around Jersey,
hunting down these hormones.
It's what my doctor
said I needed.
It's what my parents
said I wanted.
To be a normal boy.
But I don't know who I'm
supposed to be anymore.
No one told me I had options.
I didn't know who I
was for a long time.
Hormones change the
way we see ourselves.
The way the world
sees us, treats us.
But even with all that,
hormones didn't
tell me who I was.
It took me a long
time to figure out,
that part was my job.
What makes you Ponyboi
isn't the hormones.
It's actually who
you decide to be.
And if you don't know
who that is yet,
it's okay.
Take your time.
You'll figure it out.
Eventually.
But all this here,
the boobs, the
hair, the makeup,
it's just smoke
and mirrors, baby.
All of it.
You're gonna be okay.
Thank you.
Park on the next block.
What the fuck
are you doing here?
You lying sack of shit.
You gonna let your
girl talk to you like that?
Shut the fuck up, Stick!
I know about Gina.
You fucking dumbass.
Alright, let's talk about
this in private, okay?
No, I don't give a shit
what you have to say, Vinny.
Lucky's dead,
because of this Tina you cooked.
Then you fucked this poor girl.
She comes to
laundromat tweaking.
And you almost killed her, too.
What other kind of secrets
you got, Vinny? Huh?
You about to be the
father of my baby.
Our baby.
Is that how you
gonna raise our kid?
He's not ready.
He's not ready.
Running around
doing dumbass shit?
Being a fucking idiot?
Making a fool out of yourself?
How am I supposed to trust you?
Look at you!
Look at you, you stupid,
stupid little--
Yo, what
the fuck, man?
Shut the fuck up.
Oh my God.
I feel so good
To Vegas.
To Vegas.
Hello?
You really thought you
could play me like that, huh?
Vinny, no! No!
Yo, calm
the fuck down.
What the fuck
did you do to her?
I'm gonna fuck her up
if you don't get your
bitch ass over here.
Ponyboi, don't come!
Oh, shut up.
Everything okay?
Wait here. I'll be quick.
What up, G?
- How you livin'?
- How we doing, baby?
Got a little
taster for you.
Hi.
I'm coming to get you.
Just wait right there,
okay? I'm coming.
- God.
- Angel.
Oh, I should
have believed you.
- I'm so sorry.
- No, it's okay.
- I'm so sorry.
- Let's leave, okay.
Is that
my little pony?
Oh, shit.
- Yeah, back the fuck up!
- Alright.
Tell him to drop it.
Stick.
Are you fucking
serious right now?
Yeah, I'm fucking
serious. Drop it.
Angel, take the gun.
Take this.
And get out.
Get out!
- Move!
- Alright.
See you at home, babe.
You, in the car now!
- Do you even know how to
use that fucking thing?
Okay.
Man, you got some fucking nerve
putting that shit in my face.
Shut the fuck up.
Yeah, after
all I've given you?
Me, shut the fuck up?
So, you're gonna
shoot me or what?
Alright.
You don't have
any fucking balls.
Fuck!
Wake,
wake, wake, wake, wake.
Wakey, wakey.
Hmm.
Shit goes hard, doesn't it?
Damn.
Had some good times,
baby, hadn't we?
Fuck you.
No, fuck you!
You know from the first
time I ever saw you,
it was like instinct, I had
to protect you, you know?
I had to take you in.
Give you a home.
My little pony.
Right?
Baby.
Little did I know that
you were an ungrateful
little fucking cunt.
Ruined my fucking life!
I really want to be a dad.
I really did.
This was a family.
Now look what the
fuck you've done.
I gave you fucking everything!
Hmm?
And I fucking loved you.
Why the fuck is that so funny?
Love me?
You only did shit for me so
I could keep sucking dick
for you.
Lucky.
He's dead because of you.
You think you're
a gangster, Vinny.
But you're not.
You're just a little
white boy from Jersey.
You're a closeted fucking loser.
And you want to know what else?
What?
You're gonna be a
terrible fucking father.
Fuck you.
Perfect timing.
He's all yours, Two Tone.
I'm done with this
piece of shit.
Yo, what the fuck?
Vincenzo, a real
fucking brain surgeon.
You're joking, right?
This faggot killed your brother
and he stole your fucking money.
Hmm? He's the one you want!
That's not what
your girl told me.
Easy.
Take it easy.
Right? So...
Alright, fuck this.
No!
My brother?
Oh, man.
Hold on.
Briefcase.
Okay, here, here.
It's all here.
I don't want to ever see
you in this town again.
We understand each other?
Yeah.
Let's get my brother.
There, you're good.
Thank you.
Where are you gonna go?
I got a cousin
down at Seaside.
Gonna crash at hers for a
bit, but I'll figure it out.
How about you?
I don't know.
Come with me.
We could go down the shore
and then get the
fuck out of Jersey.
We could go anywhere.
Maybe we could go to Vegas.
No, babe.
We gotta stay.
I'm a Jersey girl.
I'm gonna be a mom.
It's what I always wanted.
I know, honey.
Go. Don't look back.
If you don't know where to go,
go back home to
your folks, okay?
Okay.
Hey.
Okay?
Yeah.
Go.
I'll call you, alright?
Yeah.
Okay,
passengers, final stop
is right at Seaside Heights.
Point Pleasant, next stop.
Next stop.
Hello?
Mom?
Papa?
Oh.
Yeah.
'Cause he liked making fun
of me for playing with dolls.
Oh, nothing.
I fell outside.
Yeah.
