It was the worst day ever.
He's such a loser. Then.
We were trying to leave,

Yeah. Yeah. I, I'll never do that again.
Ever. Watch where you're
walking Whiskey Willie.
Hey Brenda. Are you still there?
Anyway, sorry about the date.
Hopefully you will meet someone soon.
The next one will ask you
for your hand in marriage.
Don't worry, honey,
things are looking out for you.
I have to go that way. We're gonna slip.
Yeah, well go that way. And you won't.
But it's not gonna fit in the,

It'll open the other door.
You're gonna be able to get in that way.
Go. It's not gonna fit. Yes,
it will just go.
I'm trying. Just do, what the fuck?
Ah,
So Fourth dungeon.
Okay, fourth dungeon.
There's a guy,
you have to get the sword from him.
Now,
what you gotta first do is you gotta get
past all of his guards.
Right? So there's gonna be
like this dragon looking guy.
I don't know what the hell
he is. He's like a dragon.
And what?
Help, help, help.
Please, please help, help, help.
Police. Put it down. I mean it, man.
Put the knife down and take a step back.
Right now.
Holy shit. I knew this guy in High school?
Jasmine, come on. I need
to get to work. Oh, hello there.
You don't even have a job.
Why are you showering first?
I just wanted to look cute for.
You. Right?
I'm so tired of your selfishness.
I've had enough of
paying for everything. What.
Are you talking about? I paid
for this pedicure. Okay.
And when was the last
time you did something?
Not for you, but for us?
Um, Exactly. You're a slob and a fuck up.
What Do you mean? Where are my shoes?
Come. Let's do a quickie.
I don't have time. I'm running
late. Where are my shoes?
I don't know where your shoes
are. Whatcha are you doing?
Cannot find. Can you stop throwing
my shoes? I got these are,
I can't find my shoes. These.
Are very expensive shoes. You know,
Look at this shit, Jasmine.
See all this stuff? This is why
you've been feeling heavier
on top of me the last few months, right?
Is all you ate this? Is this crap enough?
I'm tossing it. Baby. No,
Don't have your junk. Throw away my food.
You'll have some more motivation to go.
And draw. I'm gonna throw away your toys,
then.
They are not toys. They're collectibles.
And they are very fuckingg
expensive. Collectible.
Who is this Spiderman.
Well, who is this Wonder
Woman? Captain American? Yeah.
Whatever. What is this Power
Ranger? What are you? 12.
You know what? Get out.
What do you mean get out?
I mean, leave my house. I've had enough.
Enough of what? Enough
Of you and your shit.
What are you doing? Oh,
okay. You want away my stuff?
I'll throw away your stuff too.
Stop throwing my shoes off.
Take your stuff and leave.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about we're over. It's done.
Are you serious? Yes. Get outta my house.
Steve. Do you mean it?
I've never been more serious
about anything in my life.
Leave.
Well, can I at least get an Uber?
It's too many things for me to
carry. I am not even dressed up.
Take this. Take a subway,
a car, whatever you need to,
to get as far away from here as you can.
I don't care.
Mary. Dad,
Jazmine. What are
you doing here? Oh, you look upset.
What happened now? Oh,
Steve broke up with me.
He kicked me out. Not again, dad.
How what'd you do this
time? What'd you do this time?
He said that I don't pay the bill.
That I waste too much water. And,
you know, sounds.
Pretty familiar. Sounds.
Familiar, doesn't it?
Hmm. Anyway,
I'm gonna go to my room. No, no,
No. Jasmine, you
can't go to your room.
We rented it two months
ago. I told you that.
Apparently you weren't listening again.
Dad. Hi.
Who the hell is this? I'm
Stan. Can
you kick him out? Hell no. Absolutely not.
Awkward. He's a great tenant.
Stan pays rent. He doesn't
waste money like you do.
You, you take two hour showers, Jasmine,
You keep the lights on all the time.
You keep the gas stove burning.
Mary,
I told you that was when I was 12 years old
and I didn't know that. Listen,
Firecracker. Jasmine,
you are an adult.
You need to get an apartment and get a job.
Daddy am your little princess,
Princess of darkness, maybe. Mm-Hmm?
You Need to support. We're going on.
Vacation yourself. Oh, yes
we are. Oh,
That's just perfect. I
could just get the
sleeping bag in the garage
and put it in the living room
and stay here. Watch. No.
Hell no. That's not happening.
We're afraid you'll burn it down again.
Stan will watch the house. We
don't need you to watch the house.
Come on. No. You guys serious?
Yes. You need to go.
This is not happening again.
Come back when you have a job.
Okay? I see what's happening
here. You know what?
I'm gonna prove it to you,
Mary and you dad.
I'm gonna find a job and prove to you
that I'm a very independent,
responsible woman.
Good. Do that. We would love that.
We would love it. All right. Goodbye, Mary.
Goodbye, dad. Goodbye. And you too, Stan.
Goodbye. Can you? She seems nice.
Ugh. What now, Jasmine, Can I get an Uber?
You're seriously crazy. I love you,
but no, goodbye.
Oh,
An Uber. The princess wants an Uber. Well,
She didn't ask for a
rental car. Look at the.
Good side. She's got her mother's genes.
Yeah. A hundred percent.
Sarah. My
best friend of whole world.
How are you? Long time. No see.
What do you want?
I listen. I need a place to crash.
No, Why.
Not? You are not staying
with me.
Look I love you so much,
but you are the most self-centered person.
I know. You're not
gonna freeload off of me.
Listen, today is the day
that I'm gonna change my life around.
It's gonna be a new me. Um,
I also need a job.
Okay, well, if I hear anything,
I will let you know.
Uh, what about here? You
seem to be working by yourself.
You seem like you need some help, Jasmine.
No. I love you, but you ruin everything.
And if I hire you,
we're both gonna get fired.
Come On. I'm not the manager.
I I don't hire people anyways.
Well, can I at least have a place to crash?
Please, please. Listen. Listen please.
My parents don't want me in the house.
They have some guy living there now.
And my boyfriend, well,
my now ex-boyfriend broke out with me.
You are the only friend had you don't wanna
trust and depend on.
Please, please,
please. Pretty please. Fine. One week.
And you need to find a job.
I will now. Yes. Yes, I will.
I'm not kidding. Yes, I promise. I promise.
Uh, after you make me a dirty martini
and please make it extra dirty.
I promise I'll,
I'll after that. You can have a beer.
A beer. A beer. I don't
drink beer. You know that.
Whatever ton of beer is
this. I never heard that brand.
My gosh.
Kind of beer is this. It's a beer.
What the hell on the,
can I have some water please?
She could have some
water. And then and also mint.
A mint. Fine.
Hello? Can I get a drink over here? Well,
hello there.
Beautiful. How are you? What's your name?
I'm Omari. Pleasure to meet
you. Please don't hit on me.
I just broke up with my boyfriend
and no, I don't want any rebound. Come.
On. I got a job
offering for you.
It's an offer you can't refuse.
Oh, trust me. I can refuse.
Seriously,
let me ask you a question. Do you smoke?
No. Do I smoke like I smoke?
It's,
it's an offer. It's a job offer. Come on.
This is a chance to make some money.
You know, get out there, do things.
Uh, what kind of job are you offering me?
Is there something that
involves me being on my
knees and scraping it? No, thank you.
It's a, it's a cigarette marketing gig.
You would have to take this and smoke it
or pretend to smoke it
and uh, you know,
you'd go to streets, clubs, bars,
schools, especially schools.
What kind of nonsense. Like
you're telling me,
If they take the product, it pays 500
for people over 40,
a thousand for millennials,
3000 for teens, and 10,000 for kids.
Huh? What do you think about that?
Are you outta your fucking mind? Kids?
Teens? Are you trying to get me locked up?
You would have to wait
until they ask. Of course.
And when they do,
you would give 'em a cigarette from here
and only from here.
Just remember to keep the
two separate. Never together.
And um, this is more like a
Hollywood cigarette, you know,
it burns no smoke and lasts forever.
Um, I'm confused. I still don't understand.
You have gorgeous eyes by the way. You took.
More. So,
uh, what do you think?
Are you, uh, are you in or are you out?
Well, I mean, I don't know.
I mean, um, how would I get paid.
Through the app Of course.
Which app? Cash for cigarettes.
Oh, okay. Let me look.
Just, uh, remember to walk away immediately
after you give him a cigarette.
Oh, I think I just done with it.
Is this the one right here?
No one the hell did he went.
I mean, looks,
I don't know.
What the hell am I doing
with this? It's just crazy.
Woo.
Hey, what is up beautiful.
Hi. You got a cigarette I can borrow?
Sure. How.
You know? I almost confused you
with the cigarette.
I saw you with it and I'm just like, damn,
I gotta take a smoke out of that ass.
Really? Yeah. I think
you got a really nice butt.
How can you tell sitting down?
I mean, look at you just so sexy
that someone like you got.
Gotta have a nice figure.
I guess I do. Yeah, I do work out.
Yeah. You looking for a gym partner?
I like to go early in the morning,
so I mean, look at me.
Um, no, I'm good. You live around here?
Um, kind of, yeah. Yeah.
Well, so do I. Why don't we,
uh, swing by, you know,
get to know each other a little bit.
No,
thank you. You got a lighter I can borrow.
Um, sure. You know,
I'm trying to give up smoking,
but with this tough economy,
it's just so hard right now.
You know? I would
rather suffer with someone.
Sorry, it's not working. Oh, that's okay.
Lemme see if I can really
look from my number.
Be outta liquid. Something.
Ah, I got one right here.
But yeah, as I was saying, I met this guy
who just gave up smoking sex
and eating fatty foods
just until the day he died.
It was crazy.
Oh, okay. So
anyways, I'm gonna get your number.
You know, I just wanted to take you
out, get to know you a little bit.
You know what? Um, I'm sorry. I gotta go.
Wait,
come on. Where you going? I don't mind.
Something came up. Sorry. Are you sure?
Yeah. I don't mind to
take you out to dinner.
Damn. I knew I should
have put on deodorant.
Hey Jasmine,
how's your cute boyfriend Steve doing?
Uh, Steve's he got herpes. Oh.
Oh my God.
Hello? Say where are you?
I'm out for a run. What do you want?
Are you serious? What about Jeffrey?
You were supposed to pick him up. Alright,
I got an Uber. I'll take
care of it. Just get off my back.
Bye. Oh,
Good morning. How can I help you?
Yes, hi. I would like to,
um, know something
that happened, my phone story short.
Some guy told me to download this app
and I think he sent me some money.
I wanted to know if it was real money
or fake money. Oh, sure.
I can help you with that.
Do you have an ID that I can?
Yes, yes, I do.
Use to access your account.
Uh, here. Okay, great. Just one moment.
Yes.
Uh, yes. Jasmine? Yes,
that's yes. All right.
Yes,
I do see that there was a deposit recently
of $500 from a company
called The Cigarette. Yes.
Yes. Alright. Uh, yes,
that is there. That was legit.
Uh, is there something
else I can help you with?
Yes, may I please have the money in cash?
Uh, let's see.
Unfortunately,
it looks like there had been, um,
some fees on your account that left you
with a negative balance.
There were some overdraft
fees and some additional fees.
And what happens with our system, uh,
if there is a negative balance
and monies deposited,
the, that will be used
to bring your balance up to a positive
or as close to positive.
And it looks like that did cover the fees,
but it only left you with a $10 balance
in your account. Are.
You serious? Are you kidding with me?
No, I'm not. I'm sorry. Oh,
that's ridiculous.
Insane. I'm not.
Do you wanna take
the $10 out or leave it in?
Yeah, sure. Okay. I can get that for you.
Just let me note that on your account.
And then since that left
you with a zero balance.
Do you want to close your account or.
No, that's fine. We'll leave.
It for today. Yeah.
Alright. Alright. Alright. Thank you.
Hey, there girl.
Um, I forgot to get the
keys from you yesterday.
Is it okay that I come by?
I noticed, I was just so tipsy
that I just like left there so fast.
You were not tipsy.
You were drunk crying
and calling everyone Steve.
No way. For real.
Really? No way. It was funny.
Anyways, just, just come to
the bar and grab the keys. Okay?
Well thank you so much
really for letting me stay over.
I really appreciate it. You.
Thank you. You're welcome.
Only for one week.
Yeah, I know. Hey, guess what?
What? I got a job.

bunch of crap at my apartment.
When are you gonna come get all this stuff?
Relax. I'll get them
when I have time. All right.
Jasmin you need to come get your crap.

pairs of shoes at the moment.
So can I throw this stuff out then, or.
No? No, don't touch
any of my stuff.
I told you when I have time,

I made over $4,000 today.
Oh, what are you stripping now?
No. What does everyone
thinks I'm a stripper.

qualified for much of anything
except having a round ass.
What kind of woman do you think I am?
Well, it's a matter of fact.
I have a new sugar
daddy and he's your daddy.
I don't even understand that,
but good luck to him.
What are you jealous? The
best revenge against a man
who steals your woman is let him have her.
Steve, you would never find anyone like me.
Oh God. I hope so. You know what? Jasmin?
I used to think you took my breath away,
but really you were just
suffocating me to death.

Do you have the recording on?
Um, these cameras right here? Yeah.
Yeah. I need to take, I have 'em in.
They're in the back. Hi Honey. I get them.
Where are my keys? My landlord's not home.
And I was stuck out all night,
Man. I'm sorry. I think
I left it at my parents' house.
I'll, I'll get that from you later.
So can I have the tape recording please?
You are so selfish. And where's my cat?
Um, listen, I have nothing to do
with your escape cat. Right? How.
Do you know my cat escaped?
Um, well, I'm just guessing
because that's what cats do.
They always escape and stuff.
Is he dead or alive? Just tell me,
Sarah, listen to me.
Don't get mad. Please relax by accident.
I let the door open and Ari escaped.
But, but after you give me the tape,
I'll go find Ari, or
I'll just get you a new cat.
You can't just get me
a new Ari. It's my cat.
Sarah, can we please talk
about the cat and this later?
Whatever the heck is going on here. Look,
I just need you

The cops think I killed someone.
That's why I need those tape.
The cops think you killed someone.
Yes. Can you say, don't say too loud.
What did you do? Excuse me.
What did you do? What kind.
Of freaking question is that?
How dare you ask me that
questions? I'm done with you.
I'm gonna call the cops.
Jasmin, what are you showing us here?
This right here. That's the guy. Look at.
Where did you get this picture?
Oh, I see. I it out yesterday.
You can't see his face.
This is not evidence.
What kind of places are you hanging out in?
There's a billiard table here. What,
what is this?
Okay, honey, there it was a bar's.
Important things to discuss here. Okay?
You can't use this as evidence. It's,
it's why not?
It, it some a hat. It's a.
Hat. And he's, oh,
you can't see his hand. His hand. Well,
What about those? Um,
A IG thing? Whatever
the ai, I think in order to use that,
you need to see a face.
How can a computer recognize
him if you don't see his face?
I don't know what any judge or police
or any kind of legal person
would laugh you out of.
Court with this. You've been watching
too many crime TV shows.
It's not that easy. Use your.
Brain.

Hello? Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.
Hi. I am, uh, I'm, I'm Dr. Bruce.
I'm Jasmin. Nice to meet you. Yeah.
Um, how was your, how was your ride in? It.
Was amazing.
Excellent. Excellent.
Um, would,
would you like a cup of coffee or?
No, I'm good. Thank you.
Excellent. Um, so have you ever worked
for a startup company before?
Yes, I have. Uh, a long time ago.
Okay. Um,
So I don't see a ring in your finger.
No, I don't have one either.
You do not. Um, so, uh, Jasmin,
can you tell me why you think you were
a best fit for this role?
Um, I would have to say
that it was in the family. Mm.
Yeah. My family's all hardworking people.
Gotcha. Out of all the roles
that you've had in the past,
what would you say was your favorite?
Um, I would have to say when I used
to sell vacuum cleaners.
Oh yeah.
Did they, uh, were you in a showroom
or were you going door to door?
Yeah, I was going door to door,
you know, selling them
and, you know, then anyway.
Wow. That takes,
takes a lot of confidence. Yeah. Wow.
Um, that's impressive.
I thought that they stopped
doing the door-to-door stuff
back in the seventies.
Um, well, not really.
They still do New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, some other state.
Um, you know, I used to
destroy a couple of like, carpets.
But anyway, that's, that's the past. Oh.
Mm-Hmm. Okay.
Um, how would you say that your, uh, former
employers would describe you?
I would say very hardworking, independent,
responsible, reliable. Mm-Hmm.
Mm-Hmm. Excellent.
Uh, and what are your expectations
regarding pay for this job?
You mean money wise? Yeah.
Um, I would have to say, um, as soon
as it gave me a big percentage
of the sales, I'm good with it.
I'll work seven days a week,
night or day. Mm-Hmm.
Wow. Okay. Um, excellent.
Have you ever been convicted
of any felonies or anything.
Convicted?
Well, um, yeah. A long time ago.
You know how it is when you're young,
right?
You get in trouble all the time.
Right? Yeah, I get that. Absolutely.
By the way, you have beautiful blue eyes.
Thank you very much. Um,
you have lovely eyes as well. Oh,
Thank you. Tell
me, where do you see yourself in
about five years? Mm.
I would have to say
right there in that chair,
taking your spot.
And maybe,
Well, where am I?
She's alive. What the hell you doing to me?
Care for a cigarette?
No. Get off of me. What the fuck this is,
You know,
it's real surprising how fast you found me.
I mean, considering that
obviously you're not so bright.
Tell really gray, more insult.
What are your fucking freak?
I'm not a monster or a, or a serial killer.
I'm a businessman.
I started this company,
this private drug corporation,
the nicotine ninjas.
I mean,
we did pretty good the first few years,
you know, with the coin.
I remember the classics.
Uh, the, uh, tobacco titty twisters,
the Parliament Puffers,
and my personal favorite, the sugar sticks.
You ever heard of them? No.
Got me off of this. Well,
apparently no one else did.
We were failing as a
company. Sales were horrible.
So what did we do?
We decided to create this,
uh, amazing concoction,
this unbelievable idea.
The Cowboy Killer.
It made one of our taste testers so sick.
He had to quit smoking for two years.
This guy, I mean, he was like a,
a two pack a day smoker, right, Joe?
Right? He's,
he was smoking since he was like 12.
So you're telling me that
you're bad at making cigarettes.
The ingredient in the cowboy killer
would make this taste tester so sick
that he would get sick just
by the thought of smoking.
We're in a million dollar hole here,
a million dollars.
So I thought instead of making a cigarette
that tastes great, let's change directions
and make one that cures smoking.
Nicotine ninjas has developed a cigarette
that not only will make you stop smoking,
but will cure every single
urge you have for nicotine,
for a small price
of three grand, one puff of this cigarette.
And you'll never want to smoke again.
The only problem,
the only setback that we have
with the Cowboy Killer is that
it wears off after two years.
This taste tester,
he quit smoking for two years, and
after two years he started
smoking eight packs a day.
He died pretty quickly.
See, see, the, the, the big picture here is
to make nicotine ninjas go public.
All we need is that little nudge
to get us outta bankruptcy,
to, oh, by the way, uh,
there's going to be a
paycheck for you by the end of the week.
And, uh, this one's not gonna
bounce like the other one.
We, uh, we, we couldn't test it on animals.
I mean, have you ever heard of a horse
that smokes cigarettes? No.
No. Just get me off of.
This. Not, of course not.
So that's why we needed
unsuspecting lab humans.
And naturally we hired you
to test out nicotine addicted rats.
But unfortunately they
had a few side effects.
A few. Are you fucking kidding me?
Just get this shit off me.
Get this off of me. Right now.
You're asking and you might be thinking,
you know,
why didn't we just kill you?
Yeah. Why? And throw you off the bridge.
Why didn't you then?
Because the answer is obvious.
We needed another test subject,
another lab human
to test out our brand new product.
I think we've figured
out all the kinks in this.
One.
So cold here. What the Fuck?
So Fucking upset about this.
Hello? Hello? Is anybody in there?
Hello? Hello? Hello. What's your name?
My name is Jasmin and yours?
I'm Susan. Oh,
thank God you're gonna hear me.
Where are you? I, I think,
I think I'm next door to you.
I think I'm in the next room.
Oh, okay. How did you get there?
I don't know. I was,
I was handing out cigarettes for free
and then I, my boss dropped me off here
and I don't, I don't know,
I don't know what happened.
I can't remember anything.
And where are you from? I'm from Baltimore,
Maryland.
Oh, wow. That's crazy.
Okay. I'm from New York City.
Oh, can you, um,
can you find a light switch or something
or find anything and see if
you can come and help me?
I'm, I'm stuck. I can't move or anything.
Well, my light here is on Do you have
your lights turned on there?
I just told you I can't see anything.
Geez. You don't have to be fucking mean.
I'm sorry about that. I'm just,
I'm really nervous.
I've just been stuck here. I
have no idea for how long?
It could be days. It could be weeks,
it could be a month.
Okay. Well, let's see here. I mean,
I don't know.
They just, they just locked
me inside this room right here.
I,
I don't think if I could find anything here
to break the door.
See what you can do.
If you can just come next
door. I'm pretty short next.
To you. Okay,
I will. I, I'm, I'm sorry,
what is your name again?
Susan. Oh, okay.
Uh, like I said before, my name is Jasmine.
Um, I'm gonna try to help
you. Okay. Hi. Oh, let me see.
Hey Susan. I get off of me.
Off me.
Oh, please, please,
please get me outta here. Alright. Hi.

You shouldn't be teasing our
schizophrenic patients. What.

Not for you, but for us?
Um, Exactly. You're a slob and a fuck up.

Cannot find. Can you stop throwing
my shoes? I got these are,
I can't find my shoes. These.
Are very expensive shoes. You know,
Look at this shit, Jasmine.
See all this stuff? This is why
you've been feeling heavier
on top of me the last few months, right?
Is all you ate this? Is this crap enough?
I'm tossing it. Baby. No,
Don't have your junk. Throw away my food.
You'll have some more motivation to go.
And draw. I'm gonna throw away your toys,
then.
They are not toys. They're collectibles.
And they are very fuckingg
expensive. Collectible.
Who is this Spiderman.
Well, who is this Wonder
Woman? Captain American? Yeah.
Whatever. What is this Power
Ranger? What are you? 12.
You know what? Get out.

What are you talking about?
I'm talking about we're over. It's done.
Are you serious? Yes. Get outta my house.
Steve. Do you mean it?
I've never been more serious
about anything in my life.
Leave.
Well, can I at least get an Uber?
It's too many things for me to
carry. I am not even dressed up.
Take this. Take a subway,
a car, whatever you need to,
to get as far away from here as you can.
I don't care.
Mary. Dad,
Jazmine. What are
you doing here? Oh, you look upset.
What happened now? Oh,
Steve broke up with me.
He kicked me out. Not again, dad.
How what'd you do this
time? What'd you do this time?
He said that I don't pay the bill.
That I waste too much water. And,
you know, sounds.
Pretty familiar. Sounds.
Familiar, doesn't it?
Hmm. Anyway,
I'm gonna go to my room. No, no,
No. Jasmine, you
can't go to your room.
We rented it two months
ago. I told you that.
Apparently you weren't listening again.
Dad. Hi.
Who the hell is this? I'm
Stan. Can
you kick him out? Hell no. Absolutely not.
Awkward. He's a great tenant.
Stan pays rent. He doesn't
waste money like you do.
You, you take two hour showers, Jasmine,
You keep the lights on all the time.
You keep the gas stove burning.
Mary,
I told you that was when I was 12 years old
and I didn't know that. Listen,
Firecracker. Jasmine,
you are an adult.
You need to get an apartment and get a job.
Daddy am your little princess,
Princess of darkness, maybe. Mm-Hmm?
You Need to support. We're going on.
Vacation yourself. Oh, yes
we are. Oh,
That's just perfect. I
could just get the
sleeping bag in the garage
and put it in the living room
and stay here. Watch. No.
Hell no. That's not happening.
We're afraid you'll burn it down again.
Stan will watch the house. We
don't need you to watch the house.
Come on. No. You guys serious?
Yes. You need to go.
This is not happening again.
Come back when you have a job.
Okay? I see what's happening
here. You know what?
I'm gonna prove it to you,
Mary and you dad.
I'm gonna find a job and prove to you
that I'm a very independent,
responsible woman.
Good. Do that. We would love that.
We would love it. All right. Goodbye, Mary.
Goodbye, dad. Goodbye. And you too, Stan.
Goodbye. Can you? She seems nice.
Ugh. What now, Jasmine, Can I get an Uber?
You're seriously crazy. I love you,
but no, goodbye.
Oh,
An Uber. The princess wants an Uber. Well,
She didn't ask for a
rental car. Look at the.
Good side. She's got her mother's genes.
Yeah. A hundred percent.
Sarah. My
best friend of whole world.
How are you? Long time. No see.
What do you want?
I listen. I need a place to crash.
No, Why.
Not? You are not staying
with me.
Look I love you so much,
but you are the most self-centered person.
I know. You're not
gonna freeload off of me.
Listen, today is the day
that I'm gonna change my life around.
It's gonna be a new me. Um,
I also need a job.
Okay, well, if I hear anything,
I will let you know.
Uh, what about here? You
seem to be working by yourself.
You seem like you need some help, Jasmine.
No. I love you, but you ruin everything.
And if I hire you,
we're both gonna get fired.
Come On. I'm not the manager.
I I don't hire people anyways.
Well, can I at least have a place to crash?
Please, please. Listen. Listen please.
My parents don't want me in the house.
They have some guy living there now.
And my boyfriend, well,
my now ex-boyfriend broke out with me.
You are the only friend had you don't wanna
trust and depend on.
Please, please,
please. Pretty please. Fine. One week.
And you need to find a job.
I will now. Yes. Yes, I will.
I'm not kidding. Yes, I promise. I promise.
Uh, after you make me a dirty martini
and please make it extra dirty.
I promise I'll,
I'll after that. You can have a beer.
A beer. A beer. I don't
drink beer. You know that.
Whatever ton of beer is
this. I never heard that brand.
My gosh.
Kind of beer is this. It's a beer.
What the hell on the,
can I have some water please?
She could have some
water. And then and also mint.
A mint. Fine.
Hello? Can I get a drink over here? Well,
hello there.
Beautiful. How are you? What's your name?
I'm Omari. Pleasure to meet
you. Please don't hit on me.
I just broke up with my boyfriend
and no, I don't want any rebound. Come.
On. I got a job
offering for you.
It's an offer you can't refuse.
Oh, trust me. I can refuse.
Seriously,
let me ask you a question. Do you smoke?
No. Do I smoke like I smoke?
It's,
it's an offer. It's a job offer. Come on.
This is a chance to make some money.
You know, get out there, do things.
Uh, what kind of job are you offering me?
Is there something that
involves me being on my
knees and scraping it? No, thank you.
It's a, it's a cigarette marketing gig.
You would have to take this and smoke it
or pretend to smoke it
and uh, you know,
you'd go to streets, clubs, bars,
schools, especially schools.
What kind of nonsense. Like
you're telling me,
If they take the product, it pays 500
for people over 40,
a thousand for millennials,
3000 for teens, and 10,000 for kids.
Huh? What do you think about that?
Are you outta your fucking mind? Kids?
Teens? Are you trying to get me locked up?
You would have to wait
until they ask. Of course.
And when they do,
you would give 'em a cigarette from here
and only from here.
Just remember to keep the
two separate. Never together.
And um, this is more like a
Hollywood cigarette, you know,
it burns no smoke and lasts forever.
Um, I'm confused. I still don't understand.
You have gorgeous eyes by the way. You took.
More. So,
uh, what do you think?
Are you, uh, are you in or are you out?
Well, I mean, I don't know.
I mean, um, how would I get paid.
Through the app Of course.
Which app? Cash for cigarettes.
Oh, okay. Let me look.
Just, uh, remember to walk away immediately
after you give him a cigarette.
Oh, I think I just done with it.
Is this the one right here?
No one the hell did he went.
I mean, looks,
I don't know.
What the hell am I doing
with this? It's just crazy.
Woo.
Hey, what is up beautiful.
Hi. You got a cigarette I can borrow?
Sure. How.
You know? I almost confused you
with the cigarette.
I saw you with it and I'm just like, damn,
I gotta take a smoke out of that ass.
Really? Yeah. I think
you got a really nice butt.
How can you tell sitting down?
I mean, look at you just so sexy
that someone like you got.
Gotta have a nice figure.
I guess I do. Yeah, I do work out.
Yeah. You looking for a gym partner?
I like to go early in the morning,
so I mean, look at me.
Um, no, I'm good. You live around here?
Um, kind of, yeah. Yeah.
Well, so do I. Why don't we,
uh, swing by, you know,
get to know each other a little bit.
No,
thank you. You got a lighter I can borrow.
Um, sure. You know,
I'm trying to give up smoking,
but with this tough economy,
it's just so hard right now.
You know? I would
rather suffer with someone.
Sorry, it's not working. Oh, that's okay.
Lemme see if I can really
look from my number.
Be outta liquid. Something.
Ah, I got one right here.
But yeah, as I was saying, I met this guy
who just gave up smoking sex
and eating fatty foods
just until the day he died.
It was crazy.
Oh, okay. So
anyways, I'm gonna get your number.
You know, I just wanted to take you
out, get to know you a little bit.
You know what? Um, I'm sorry. I gotta go.
Wait,
come on. Where you going? I don't mind.
Something came up. Sorry. Are you sure?
Yeah. I don't mind to
take you out to dinner.
Damn. I knew I should
have put on deodorant.
Hey Jasmine,
how's your cute boyfriend Steve doing?
Uh, Steve's he got herpes. Oh.
Oh my God.
Hello? Say where are you?
I'm out for a run. What do you want?
Are you serious? What about Jeffrey?
You were supposed to pick him up. Alright,
I got an Uber. I'll take
care of it. Just get off my back.
Bye. Oh,
Good morning. How can I help you?
Yes, hi. I would like to,
um, know something
that happened, my phone story short.
Some guy told me to download this app
and I think he sent me some money.
I wanted to know if it was real money
or fake money. Oh, sure.
I can help you with that.
Do you have an ID that I can?
Yes, yes, I do.
Use to access your account.
Uh, here. Okay, great. Just one moment.
Yes.
Uh, yes. Jasmine? Yes,
that's yes. All right.
Yes,
I do see that there was a deposit recently
of $500 from a company
called The Cigarette. Yes.
Yes. Alright. Uh, yes,
that is there. That was legit.
Uh, is there something
else I can help you with?
Yes, may I please have the money in cash?
Uh, let's see.
Unfortunately,
it looks like there had been, um,
some fees on your account that left you
with a negative balance.
There were some overdraft
fees and some additional fees.
And what happens with our system, uh,
if there is a negative balance
and monies deposited,
the, that will be used
to bring your balance up to a positive
or as close to positive.
And it looks like that did cover the fees,
but it only left you with a $10 balance
in your account. Are.
You serious? Are you kidding with me?
No, I'm not. I'm sorry. Oh,
that's ridiculous.
Insane. I'm not.
Do you wanna take
the $10 out or leave it in?
Yeah, sure. Okay. I can get that for you.
Just let me note that on your account.
And then since that left
you with a zero balance.
Do you want to close your account or.
No, that's fine. We'll leave.
It for today. Yeah.
Alright. Alright. Alright. Thank you.
Hey, there girl.
Um, I forgot to get the
keys from you yesterday.
Is it okay that I come by?
I noticed, I was just so tipsy
that I just like left there so fast.
You were not tipsy.
You were drunk crying
and calling everyone Steve.
No way. For real.
Really? No way. It was funny.
Anyways, just, just come to
the bar and grab the keys. Okay?
Well thank you so much
really for letting me stay over.
I really appreciate it. You.
Thank you. You're welcome.
Only for one week.
Yeah, I know. Hey, guess what?

bunch of crap at my apartment.
When are you gonna come get all this stuff?
Relax. I'll get them

Jasmin you need to come get your crap.

pairs of shoes at the moment.
So can I throw this stuff out then, or.
No? No, don't touch
any of my stuff.

Oh, what are you stripping now?
No. What does everyone
thinks I'm a stripper.
Well, it's not like you're
qualified for much of anything
except having a round ass.
What kind of woman do you think I am?
Well, it's a matter of fact.
I have a new sugar
daddy and he's your daddy.
I don't even understand that,
but good luck to him.
What are you jealous? The
best revenge against a man
who steals your woman is let him have her.
Steve, you would never find anyone like me.
Oh God. I hope so. You know what? Jasmin?
I used to think you took my breath away,
but really you were just
suffocating me to death.

What Sale of drugs?
What Involuntary manslaughter.
God In smoking in public.
What? Are you kidding me?
I thought that smoking
in probably was legal.
Well, it, it's a misdemeanor,
but Ja Jazmine, I,
I think you should be more concerned
with the involuntary manslaughter charge,
don't you?
I, I guess.
Alright, listen
and give it to me straight.
Tell me what happened. Please don't lie.
I always know when you're lying.
Well, long story short, this guy at a bar,
he made me download this app where
he was paying me money
for selling cigarettes for him.
Wait a minute. Where did all my money go?
What are you talking
about In the app? I don't,
Lemme see your phone. Oh,

These are the cigarettes that
he was giving me to sell. And.
What the What?

I don't understand what happened.
And they were inside
here like a few minutes

Oh my God. Sarah, I'm so glad you're here.
Listen, I need a big favor.
Do you have the recording on?
Um, these cameras right here? Yeah.
Yeah. I need to take, I have 'em in.
They're in the back. Hi Honey. I get them.
Where are my keys? My landlord's not home.
And I was stuck out all night,
Man. I'm sorry. I think
I left it at my parents' house.
I'll, I'll get that from you later.
So can I have the tape recording please?
You are so selfish. And where's my cat?
Um, listen, I have nothing to do
with your escape cat. Right? How.
Do you know my cat escaped?

because that's what cats do.
They always escape and stuff.
Is he dead or alive? Just tell me,
Sarah, listen to me.
Don't get mad. Please relax by accident.
I let the door open and Ari escaped.
But, but after you give me the tape,
I'll go find Ari, or
I'll just get you a new cat.
You can't just get me

Hello? Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.
Hi. I am, uh, I'm, I'm Dr. Bruce.
I'm Jasmin. Nice to meet you. Yeah.
Um, how was your, how was your ride in? It.
Was amazing.
Excellent. Excellent.
Um, would,
would you like a cup of coffee or?
No, I'm good. Thank you.
Excellent. Um, so have you ever worked
for a startup company before?
Yes, I have. Uh, a long time ago.
Okay. Um,
So I don't see a ring in your finger.
No, I don't have one either.
You do not. Um, so, uh, Jasmin,
can you tell me why you think you were
a best fit for this role?
Um, I would have to say
that it was in the family. Mm.
Yeah. My family's all hardworking people.
Gotcha. Out of all the roles
that you've had in the past,
what would you say was your favorite?
Um, I would have to say when I used
to sell vacuum cleaners.
Oh yeah.
Did they, uh, were you in a showroom
or were you going door to door?
Yeah, I was going door to door,
you know, selling them
and, you know, then anyway.
Wow. That takes,
takes a lot of confidence. Yeah. Wow.
Um, that's impressive.
I thought that they stopped
doing the door-to-door stuff
back in the seventies.
Um, well, not really.
They still do New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, some other state.
Um, you know, I used to
destroy a couple of like, carpets.
But anyway, that's, that's the past. Oh.
Mm-Hmm. Okay.
Um, how would you say that your, uh, former
employers would describe you?
I would say very hardworking, independent,
responsible, reliable. Mm-Hmm.
Mm-Hmm. Excellent.
Uh, and what are your expectations
regarding pay for this job?
You mean money wise? Yeah.
Um, I would have to say, um, as soon
as it gave me a big percentage
of the sales, I'm good with it.
I'll work seven days a week,
night or day. Mm-Hmm.
Wow. Okay. Um, excellent.
Have you ever been convicted
of any felonies or anything.
Convicted?
Well, um, yeah. A long time ago.
You know how it is when you're young,
right?
You get in trouble all the time.
Right? Yeah, I get that. Absolutely.
By the way, you have beautiful blue eyes.
Thank you very much. Um,
you have lovely eyes as well. Oh,
Thank you. Tell
me, where do you see yourself in
about five years? Mm.
I would have to say
right there in that chair,
taking your spot.
And maybe,
Well, where am I?
She's alive. What the hell you doing to me?
Care for a cigarette?
No. Get off of me. What the fuck this is,
You know,
it's real surprising how fast you found me.
I mean, considering that
obviously you're not so bright.
Tell really gray, more insult.
What are your fucking freak?
I'm not a monster or a, or a serial killer.
I'm a businessman.
I started this company,
this private drug corporation,
the nicotine ninjas.
I mean,
we did pretty good the first few years,
you know, with the coin.
I remember the classics.
Uh, the, uh, tobacco titty twisters,
the Parliament Puffers,
and my personal favorite, the sugar sticks.
You ever heard of them? No.
Got me off of this. Well,
apparently no one else did.
We were failing as a
company. Sales were horrible.
So what did we do?
We decided to create this,
uh, amazing concoction,
this unbelievable idea.
The Cowboy Killer.
It made one of our taste testers so sick.
He had to quit smoking for two years.
This guy, I mean, he was like a,
a two pack a day smoker, right, Joe?
Right? He's,
he was smoking since he was like 12.
So you're telling me that
you're bad at making cigarettes.
The ingredient in the cowboy killer
would make this taste tester so sick
that he would get sick just
by the thought of smoking.
We're in a million dollar hole here,
a million dollars.
So I thought instead of making a cigarette
that tastes great, let's change directions
and make one that cures smoking.
Nicotine ninjas has developed a cigarette
that not only will make you stop smoking,
but will cure every single
urge you have for nicotine,
for a small price
of three grand, one puff of this cigarette.
And you'll never want to smoke again.
The only problem,
the only setback that we have
with the Cowboy Killer is that
it wears off after two years.
This taste tester,
he quit smoking for two years, and
after two years he started
smoking eight packs a day.
He died pretty quickly.
See, see, the, the, the big picture here is
to make nicotine ninjas go public.
All we need is that little nudge
to get us outta bankruptcy,
to, oh, by the way, uh,
there's going to be a
paycheck for you by the end of the week.
And, uh, this one's not gonna
bounce like the other one.
We, uh, we, we couldn't test it on animals.
I mean, have you ever heard of a horse
that smokes cigarettes? No.
No. Just get me off of.
This. Not, of course not.
So that's why we needed
unsuspecting lab humans.
And naturally we hired you
to test out nicotine addicted rats.
But unfortunately they
had a few side effects.
A few. Are you fucking kidding me?
Just get this shit off me.
Get this off of me. Right now.
You're asking and you might be thinking,
you know,
why didn't we just kill you?
Yeah. Why? And throw you off the bridge.
Why didn't you then?
Because the answer is obvious.
We needed another test subject,
another lab human
to test out our brand new product.
I think we've figured
out all the kinks in this.
One.
So cold here. What the Fuck?
So Fucking upset about this.
Hello? Hello? Is anybody in there?
Hello? Hello? Hello. What's your name?
My name is Jasmin and yours?
I'm Susan. Oh,
thank God you're gonna hear me.
Where are you? I, I think,
I think I'm next door to you.
I think I'm in the next room.
Oh, okay. How did you get there?
I don't know. I was,
I was handing out cigarettes for free
and then I, my boss dropped me off here
and I don't, I don't know,
I don't know what happened.
I can't remember anything.
And where are you from? I'm from Baltimore,
Maryland.
Oh, wow. That's crazy.
Okay. I'm from New York City.
Oh, can you, um,
can you find a light switch or something
or find anything and see if
you can come and help me?
I'm, I'm stuck. I can't move or anything.
Well, my light here is on Do you have
your lights turned on there?
I just told you I can't see anything.
Geez. You don't have to be fucking mean.
I'm sorry about that. I'm just,
I'm really nervous.
I've just been stuck here. I
have no idea for how long?
It could be days. It could be weeks,
it could be a month.
Okay. Well, let's see here. I mean,
I don't know.
They just, they just locked
me inside this room right here.
I,
I don't think if I could find anything here
to break the door.
See what you can do.
If you can just come next
door. I'm pretty short next.
To you. Okay,
I will. I, I'm, I'm sorry,
what is your name again?
Susan. Oh, okay.
Uh, like I said before, my name is Jasmine.
Um, I'm gonna try to help
you. Okay. Hi. Oh, let me see.
Hey Susan. I get off of me.
Off me.
Oh, please, please,
please get me outta here. Alright. Hi.

You shouldn't be teasing our
schizophrenic patients. What.
Are you new Here?
Um, yeah, one week. Oh,
Gotcha.
Temps. I dunno. Anyway,
this we're just testing
to see if there's any side
effects,
but you're lucky you're the first one.
So let's just try to get this lit up.
Why are you choking her? Doc?
Doc, you alright, doc. You alright.
Oh my God. Doc,

My phone. I gotta call
911. Oh God. Oh my God.

Susan. Oh yes. Thank God.
Yes, I'm here. Hello, Susan. Oh,

Can you please turn the light on?
It is so dark in here.
