What's up, homosexual?

[ Gunshots ]

[ Gunshots ]



You're gonna pay me
in seven days, or you die.

Why don't you go back
and work for Tyan?

It's the easiest job
in the world.

Devin: I need to know
how you feel about Adam.

Warrick:
Hey, Adam, it's your dad.

I thought I might come by
and see you,

you know, check out
the new house.

Maybe we'll go get some food.

We'll hang out or something.

[ Tape rewinds ]



Hey, Adam, it's your dad.

I thought I might come by
and see you,

you know, check out
the new house.

Maybe we'll go get some food.

We'll hang out or something.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

[ Whispering ]
Who's that, Dad?

That's your mom.

Wow!
I got a mommy?

[ No audio ]

[ Tape rewinds ]

Hey, Adam, it's your dad.

I thought I might come by
and see you,

you know, check out
the new house.

Maybe we'll go get some food.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

You have pretty eyes.

[ Chuckles ]
Thanks.

Let me thank you
with a lap dance.

No, thanks.

-She's not here yet, Adam.
-Yeah, but have you seen him?

I told you, hon.
I'll call you when he shows up,

-all right?
-You still got my number, right?

You sure you don't need
this picture?

I've seen it
enough times already.

All right.

Hey, you know what?

Uh, I think I got
my eye on you.

If you took off your sunglasses,
maybe you would.

[ Chuckles ]

You want to go
in the booth?

Not really,

unless you want to.

No, not unless
you want to.

[ Both chuckle ]

Happy Mother's Day.

-What?
-Today's Mother's Day.

I thought maybe...
you had a daughter or son.

-I look that old?
-I didn't mean it like that.

It's okay.

Actually,
I have two sons.

It's my youngest one
Gilbert's birthday tomorrow.

What about you?

What did you get
your mother?

Well, I'm just gonna
spend time with her.

Aww, that's nice.

I bet
she'd really like that.

See that guy over there?
[ Chuckles ]

He's been asking for a lap dance
for about three weeks.

So I got to go give him that
and...

We can hang out afterwards
all night, if you like.

Okay.

Okay.

Uh --
[ Both chuckle nervously ]

[ Sighs ]

Okay, I'll be back.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

-[ Panting ]
-[ Speaking indistinctly ]

-[ Grunting ]
-[ Moaning ]

-Yes, Adam!
-Hey, Adam.

You know, Adam, uh,

you're getting
out of shape.

I'll charge you money
for that.

So, which one is she?

Uh, that's her
right there.

Her name's Sirena.
What I'd tell you?

She says she used to live here.
She just got back in town.

Yeah.

She's very sexy.

So, I'm gonna need to see
if you two have any chemistry.

Hey, Tyan, why don't I, uh,
bring her over to the booth?

Yeah.
There you go.

[ Bottles clanking ]

Show time.

Tyan, this is Sirena.

**

-Hello.
-Hello.

Adam, do you want
to introduce me to your friend?
Come here, come here.

This is my friend.

And this is not.

You know
who my friend is?

Um...
[ Chuckles ]

he's, uh --
He's my favorite customer.

He's my favorite actor.

Are you in movies?

Not anymore.

I quit.
You know that.

I'm doing you a favor.

-A favor?
-Yeah.

You act with beautiful girls

to pay off a loan.

Sirena,
convince him to act.

[ Chuckles ]

Okay.

Well, it's about time you get to
see what you've been missing.

So, what movies
have you been in?

Only bad ones.

You can touch me.

No touching allowed.

[ Children shouting ]

[ Claps hands ]

-Sirena.
-Yes?

Take a break.

Sure.

I'm still not gonna
act anymore.

You hear me?
You hear me, motherfucker?

I'm gonna pay you
the money that I owe you.

Okay?
How much is it now?

$30,000.

How you gonna come up
with that money?

You can't even read.

I got a house.

-I got furniture to sell.
-Yeah.

You owe me the money
because you wanted the house.

Well, nobody visits me.

You would rather risk
owing me that money

than fucking Sirena?

I'll let you fuck her
as many times as you want.

You don't pay me in seven days,
you die.

Count that
on your fucking fingers.

I guarantee you,

I'll be alive
in seven days.

And when I bring you
$35,000,

you won't bring Sirena
into the business.

Sure.

For $37,000.

Well, I will see you, my friend,
in seven days with $37,000.

**

Can I have
an application, please?

-Thanks.
-Hey, if you fill this out

right now,
you get an interview today.

No, that's okay.
I'll bring it in tomorrow.

No, but the position
might be filled by then.

Uh, that's okay.

I'll bring it in tomorrow.
Thanks.

-Hey, Cory.
-Hey, Adam.

-[ Chuckles ]
-[ Groans ]

I got you.

-[ Chuckling ]
-[ Groaning ]

Just barely.

Whatcha doing?

Uh, my mama never
picked me up from school.

Devin told me to wait here
when she doesn't come.

I don't mind it.

A lot of the kids here
give me toys to play with.

I don't have
many toys at home.

Well, when's Devin coming?

Uh, I don't know.

Here, you can call him.

Ah.

[ Laughs ]

No. That don't work.

-It doesn't work.
-Mnh-mnh.

Come on.
I'm gonna take you home, okay?

Oh, no.
I don't know my way home.

I know the way.

-Will you read to me?
-Oh, sure.

Wow. It's a rat.

Yeah, him.

-[ Chuckling ]
-It's a rat.

Yeah.
It's a rodent rat.

-Rodent rat. Ah.
-Yeah.

[ Dog barking in distance ]

"Rodent rat
with a green hat."

-[ Chuckles ]
-That's him.

[ Speaks indistinctly ]

And then they --

-Scary.
-Yeah, yeah. Looks mean.

-Yeah, he looks mean, huh?
-Mm-hmm.

[ Stammering ]
He's a monster.

-He's a monster?
-Yeah, he is.

-Hey, guys.
-Hey.

Hi, brother.
Adam reading to me.

-I can see that, Cory.
-Yeah.

Hey, you should go to bed.

No, Adam's gonna
read to me.

Cory, it's past
your bedtime.

All right.
Bye, Adam.

Night.

Here you go.

Come on. Sit down.

I don't want
to go to bed.

Well, you got to
go to bed, okay?

Will you read to me?

Cory, don't do this to me
tonight, okay?

How about my pajamas?

[ Sighs ]

You don't need to wear
your pajamas tonight.

-Why?
-Just get into bed.

Good night.
[ Smooches ]

Sleep tight.

-Hey.
-Hey.

So, uh, Angeline
didn't pick him up?

Nope.

Thanks.

-Did you eat today?
-[ Sighs ]

Yeah.

Um, can you

help me fill this out?

It's another application.

What happened to the other one
I did for you?

Well, they don't match.

I compared them, but --

So I guess this means you didn't
show up for Tyan today.

Uh, you'll find out tomorrow.

Look, it's just
different formats.

Um, this one's
two references.

Give me that paper.

I'll be one.

And, uh, who do you want
for the other one?

That gay guy
you always hanging out with?

Why you got to add gay
in the sentence?

Why you always got to be
talking him to school

and picking him up
afterwards?

So he don't get beat up.

Kind of like I did for you
at the orphanage?

Why don't you just --
Just put down Kobe.

I heard Kobe broke up
with her boyfriend.

Yeah. Um,

he cheated on her...

just like you cheated
on your girlfriend.

Yeah, well, that's why
I never went out with her.

Well, Kobe deserves
better than you.

Yeah?

You like her so much,
then why aren't you with her?

She deserves better
than me.

Why don't you make copies
of both in case you lose them?

Good night, Adam.

Good night.

[ Door shuts ]

-Oh.
-It's not like I've never seen

your naked body before.

You're always trying
to show it off.

[ Sighs ]

Your body looks nice.

'Cause I've been
working out.

If I get aroused,
I'm sorry.

If I don't get aroused,
I'm sorry.

[ Clears throat ]

Devin asked me out.

He's a good guy.

So are you.

Why don't you ask me out?

I'm an asshole.

I'm doing you a favor.

I'll ask you, then.

Would you like to go out?

Devin's my friend.

You never treated him
like a friend.

Then I'm glad to know
my plan's working.

If you're gay,
you can just tell me.

You think that I am?

You never deny it.

Never admit it.

You not aroused.

[ Sighs ]

-You spending the night?
-Yeah.

I ain't sleeping
on the floor.

I don't have anything
to worry about.

I'm not a guy.

[ Chuckles ]

Why don't we take
the plastic off?

It'll be more comfortable.

Mm, I don't want
to mess up the bed.

My dad might be
comin' over.

Well, how am I supposed
to get into the blankets?

Hold on.

Use this.

How's that? There you go.
Good night.

Ouch.

Is this real?

Why else
would I have it?

You know I don't know

when you're joking
or when you're serious.

I like that.

Have you ever
slept with a girl?

I never actually got to sleep
with one.

Have you ever fallen in love
with a girl?

Yeah.

What happened?

I never told her.

You should.

She deserves
better than me.

Here.

What?
I'm not a stripper.

You know, she doesn't
just strip. She dances.

Why don't you caller her
a dancer?

I'm not gonna give you
a lap dance.

[ Chuckles ]

It's for the food
you always buy.

You know, maybe the dancer's
my mother.

Oh, everyone's
part of your family.

You ain't my sister.

Well, if they're all
part of your family,

why aren't you with them?

Ask my father.

He's the one who left.

I mean, I bought this house
so he'd stay.

cut furniture,
help him get into character,

be a real father, but...

I just don't want to lose
the rest of my family.

Is that true?

You know what's true?
I'm tired.

Mm.

[ Yawns ]

[ Panting ]

[ Panting ]

-[ Moans ]
-[ Panting ]

Adam?

Mm.

Are you awake?

Is there anything
between us?

No.

[ Birds chirping ]

I'm gonna start
seeing Devin.

We can't go on like this.

He's a good guy.

So are you, Adam.

[ Conversing indistinctly ]

-Hey, Cory.
-Yeah.

Let's play that game
where you close your eyes,

and you try to find
your room.

Oh, okay.
My memory -- Where is it?

You won't get a chance
to beat me.

-Okay.
-I'm gonna win.

-Get in there, buddy.
-Watch.

-I'm watching.
-I told you! I won!

-You sure did!
-Yeah.

Hey, why don't you get ready
for the park?

Okay. Park.

Why'd you have to bring that?

Tyan: She's my wife.
Keep a marriage happy,

a husband's got to buy
his wife gifts.

Was your other wife
this happy?

I don't --
I don't want to --

I don't want
to go to sleep.

[ Babbling indistinctly ]

-Shh.
-[ Babbling ]

[ Whimpering ]

I got Cory a gift, too.

So you're admitting
that you're his father?

Not if he's still retarded,
I'm not.

Let me see your fist.

You're not bruised.

You're not
beating on Adam enough.

Now they look like
you've been beating on him.

They don't bleed tomorrow,
I'm gonna do it again.

You got to get used
to beating on your friend.

You may have to
kill him someday.

Or in seven.

[ Plates smash ]

There's no way
that I'm gonna kill Adam.

-He's my friend.
-Adam owes me $37,000.

If he doesn't pay,
then you'll have to kill him.

You can't pay that
in seven days.

You won't have
a friend, then.

You wanted to come
work for me.

I put a roof over your head,
clothes on your back, all right?

The job you wanted
was the responsibility of Adam.

Yeah.
To take care of him.

-$28,000!
-Look after him.

All right. You pay me $28,000,
your job's over.

You won't have to kill
your best friend.

Okay, I'm ready for the sand,
brother.

Oh, hi, friend.
My name is Cory.

I live here.
What's your name?

Hey, Cory, hey.
He's just a salesman,

a salesman
of Lincoln Logs.

Oh. Did you buy them?
I'd like to play with them.

No, I didn't buy them.

I'm gonna get you
some better ones, okay?

If you decide not to pay,

then you'll kill Adam,
all right?

I'm being nice here.
I'm giving you options.

If you decide not to choose,
then I'll kill you.

Say bye to the salesman.

Bye-bye.
Can I have them?

No, they're broken.
Come on.

Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

When are you going
back to school?

I'm taking you to school
right now.

You know what I mean.

I told you. I work nights.
I got to sleep during the day.

What's up, homosexual?

You can let Gilbert go,
heterosexual.

I'm you're problem.

Are you sure about that?

[ Trigger clicking ]

Yeah, I'm sure.

Don't get my hopes up
if it ain't loaded.

-Come on, dude.
-That was amazing.

[ Chuckles ]

How'd you know
that wasn't loaded?

You know
he's got bad luck.

Amazing. That was...
Wow.

Hey, Adam, it's your dad.

I thought I might come by
and see you,

you know, check out
the new house.

Maybe we'll go get some food.
We'll hang out...

Kobe: Have you ever
fallen in love with a girl?

Devin: If you like her so much,
then why aren't you with her?

Adam: She deserves
better than me.

Kobe:
Would you like to go out?

Kobe: Is there anything
between us?

Adam: No.

**

So, I want to --

Well, I want to
tell you something. Um...

It's okay.

It's really hard.

* Well, she's deep crimson lips,
like a secret eclipse *

* And I'm all in blurs *

* A slim summer dress
and where we can distress *

* Around this pearl *

* And, oh, but these lashes
left me to ashes *

* And heavy life
sleeping for days *

* But we won't get no rest,
obsessed by a quest *

* I'm a homesick boy
far, far away *

* And rain and a nation gave *

* A fall,
and I can't be blamed *

* She's a walk in Spain *

* She's a walk in Spain *

* Mm-mm-mm-hmm *

* Uhh-huh *

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Telephone rings ]

Hello, Da--
He is?

I'll be right down.
Thanks.

-What's that?
-Uh --

Adam.

-Hmm?
-There you go.

Thanks.

You right-handed
or left-handed?

Right.

Did you eat today?

Yeah.

We'll, I'm flattered that you
paid somebody to kick my ass.

Yeah, well, I don't like
hurting you, so...

I'd rather be hurt by a friend
than someone I don't know.

Yeah, well, if you
show up for work,

nobody will have
to hurt you.

I don't want my heart broke
no more, okay?

Right.

Now, um, can we
do this tomorrow?

'Cause I got somewhere
important to go.

-It's gonna take a minute.
-I don't got a minute.

I can do it in 30 seconds.

-30 seconds.
-30 seconds.

You're that good, huh?

We'll find out.

I kind of want
to stay around for this,

but, uh, I'm just gonna
have to hurry back.

Uh, since your friend, here,

Brutus, is, uh --

-It's Sergio.
-Oh, sorry.

Since he's kicking my ass,
you can wait inside.

-You can wait outside.
-No, we're gonna go with you.

**

* It'll take your whole world *

* Break it apart *

Thank you for calling me.
I really appreciate it.

Where is he?
* Leave you no choice *

* But to make a new start *

* Not really knowing *

* What the future will bring *

* A broken heart *

* Is a beautiful thing *

* It'll take your false hopes *

* Shoot 'em on down *

* Get you so low *

* Put your feet on the ground *

* Make a strong man weep *

* Make a blues man sing *

* A broken heart *

* Is a beautiful thing *

* A broken heart *

* Is a beautiful thing *

* It's an awful blow *

* Make you wonder
what you're living for *

* But all the suffering
you go through *

* Only goes to show
what love can do *

* A broken heart *

* Is a beautiful thing *

* A broken heart *

* Is a beautiful thing *

-Where do you want him?
-On the bed.

I got to piss.
Where's your bathroom?

-Are you still kicking my ass?
-Yeah.

Then you still ain't
allowed in my house.

You can piss outside, all right?
See you later.

-Right here?
-Yeah.

I'm gonna change these clothes.
I don't want to get them dirty.

[ Grunts, sighs ]

[ Urinating ]

Oh, little flower.

-Getting all excited?
-Not really.

Let's go.

All right,
let's do it here.

All right, so, why don't
you give me a practice hit

so I can get used to you?

-Okay, I'm gonna hit you.
-Uh-huh.

You're gonna fall down.

Oh.
But then I don't recall this.

[ Gunshot ]

Relax.
It's just a BB Gun.

What are you doing
carrying this around, man?

Somebody's gonna think it's
real. They're gonna shoot you.

It's all part
of a backup plan.

-Asshole.
-Let's time this,

see if it takes 30 seconds
for me to go down.

Look. You don't hit him
in the face.

You don't hit him
between the legs.

He needs to look good for work,

and he needs to perform well
for work.

-Okay?
-Yeah, just don't talk to me.

You're ruining
my concentration.

You ready?

All right.

[ Both grunting ]

Will you quit showing off?
Just go down.

Oh, I almost forgot.

[ Chuckles ]

Was I supposed
to fall down sooner?

What do you got to give him
a cheap shot for, man?

-He's going down.
-Hey, he was making fun of me.

Devin: You all right?

Haven't gotten up,
have I?

Take some deep breaths.

Let me see.

Ooh.

Put some ice on there.
You'll be all right tomorrow.

Ah, what a great friend
I got, huh?

I am.

You're still alive
because of me.

Well, then, I guess
I owe you a favor.

-Let's go.
-You didn't have to hit me.

[ Doorbell ringing ]

Kobe: He okay?

Yeah, he's just nervous
about seeing me.

You don't look okay.

-You look tired.
-[ Sighs ]

So, you're really my daddy?

We got the same last name,
don't we?

Yeah.

You can call me, like, uh, Dad
or Warrick.

Cool?

Okay, Dad.

...disappoint you no more,
so, uh...

Yeah, I think --

Yeah, you're better off
without me in your life anyway.
Dad?

So, uh...bye.

[ Dial tone ]

[ Click, beep ]

[ Tape rewinding ]

Warrick:
Hey, uh, Adam, it's, uh --

It's me, you know?

Hey, I just --
I really love the house, man.

You did a great job.
It looks -- looks great.

I, uh --
[ Clears throat ]

Sorry about leaving. You know,
I was gonna wake you up,

but then I was afraid,
you know,

we wouldn't have nothing
to talk about, so...

I just don't want
to disappoint you no more,

so, uh --

Yeah, I think --

Yeah, you're better off
without me in your life anyway.

So, uh...bye.

[ Click ]

[ Knock on door ]

Yeah?

Oh, you're awake.

I was gonna surprise

and fill your refrigerator
full of food.

Well, I'm about
to get my dad up.

We got a lot
to talk about.

Oh, your dad's
still sleeping?

Yeah.

Um, well, I'll just
let you two alone.

Thanks.

Hey, guys that hold hands
are faggots.

I'm not a faggot.
Are you a fag?

No.

So, you're really my daddy?

Got the same last name, don't
we? Got the same last name,

-don't we?
-Yeah.

You know, really, a kid your age
shouldn't be calling me Daddy.

When I was your age,
I called my old man Daddy,

and the other kids thought I was
a baby for talking that shit.

They liked to kick my ass.

[ Distorted ]
So you can call me, like, uh,

Dad or Warrick.

-Dad or Warrick.
-Okay, Dad.

Listen, uh...
Listen, uh...

Why don't you do me a favor?

Want you to, uh,
stay right here

for just a few minutes, okay?

I'm gonna go in here
for just a moment.

You stay right here.
Now, don't go anywhere, okay?

-Stay right here.
-Okay.

Be right back.

[ Wind howling ]

Angeline...

The house
needs to be clean.

Social Services
is coming tonight.

They're gonna take Cory away
if they see this.

Do you hear me?

Jesus.

Get up.
[ Grunting ]

Stand up.

[ Laughing ]
Brother, brother...

[ Speaks indistinctly ]

The monsters
were about to get me.

And I told them
you were coming home,

but they didn't believe me.
They're gonna be sorry, right?

Sure are, buddy.

-Okay?
-All right.

I'm gonna go
take care of them.

All right.
Be careful, brother.

-I will.
-Bye-bye.

Okay, Cory,
I'm hunting the monsters.

Rowr.

Rowr.

Okay, they're all gone.

Are you sure?

Yeah.
I think they're all gone.

Yeah, they sure are.
[ Chuckles ]

-Go to bed, okay, buddy?
-All right.

Hi, brother.

Hey, what's going on?

Mom has to read me a story,
but she keeps forgetting.

All right. Come here.
Sit down.

[ Sighs ]
So, what do you got here?

Rodent Rat.
Will you read to me?

Yeah.

Here, give me the chain.

All right, get comfortable,
Cory.

Okay.

Rodent Rat.

[ Sighs ]
Part One.

[ Buzzer ]

Hi, Ms. Walker.

-Hi, Devin.
-Come in.

You look great.

Yeah.
Your mother around?

Oh, no. She just started
a new job tonight.

Mm-hmm.

So...

Where's Cory?

Oh, uh, he's sleeping.

I'll show you.

Sorry.
Uh, just right back there.

Mom fed him real good
before she left,

knocked him right out.

Walker:
And what was for dinner?

Oh, uh...
good, old spaghetti.

Mm-hmm.

You look filthy.

Oh, yeah. Cory and I were
playing out in the backyard,

and, I mean, I haven't even had
a chance to take a shower yet.

Mm-hmm.

You make sure Angeline is here
when I stop by next week.

Yeah.
Sure thing, Ms. Walker.

Okay.

[ Smacks lips ]
See ya.

[ Sighs ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshots ]

[ Knocking on door ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Chuckling ] You don't have
to do pushups for me.

[ Panting ]

So, uh...

you and Devin break up?

No.

Then why are you here?

What?
[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]
Uh, you look different...

like, older.

And you smell different.

I know what it is.

You're like
everybody else now.

You had sex
with Devin, right?

Yes.

Was it in a bed?

It was.

Did he wear a condom?

Yes.

Was he gentle?

Oh, very.
[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ]
I don't want to hear any more.

You hungry?

Well, let's go celebrate.

[ Sighs ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Birds chirping ]

Hi, brother!
[ Chuckles ]

Hey.

-Shh! Mom is sleeping, okay?
-Oh, yeah.

I think it's almost Easter,
brother.

The neighbors have been
putting out the Easter eggs.

Uh, yeah.
Easter's tomorrow.

Yeah. I haven't even
colored any eggs.

Is the Easter Bunny
gonna hide them this year?

How about I hide them?

Would you like to celebrate
Easter right now?

Boy, would I ever!
[ Chuckles ]

Yeah!

All right.
You've been a great guy.

Why don't you, uh, go
into your room and get ready

-while I use the phone, okay?
-All right.

[ Dialing ]

Uh, hi. Um,

I-I think my foster mother
died of an overdose.

Um, okay.
Uh, I'll leave the door open.

Okay.

-Okay, I'm ready!
-Okay, let's go.

[ Laughing ] Bye-bye, Mom.

Devin's gonna take me
Easter-egg hunting.

Cory!
We don't want to wake her, okay?

Oh, all right. Shh.
We should be quiet.

Bye, Mom.

Let's go.

Leave it open, okay?

-Mama's sleepin'.
-It's okay.

Easter. Come on.

This isn't the way
to the park.

Yeah, I know. We're not gonna
go to the park.

We're gonna do it
right here, okay?

Why don't you go wait
over by the wall?

All right.

Just wait right there.

-[ Chuckling ]
-Ready?

-Yeah.
-Why don't you close your eyes?

[ Chuckling ] Okay.

[ Laughs ]
I'm really excited!

I never done this before.

You ready?

-Okay. Ready?
-Yeah.

-Okay.
-[ Chuckles ] Yeah.

Why do they hide the eggs
for the Easter Bunny, brother?

I don't know, Cory.

Why don't I get
the chocolate Easter bunny?

All my friends do.

Yeah, I'll make sure
the Easter Bunny gets you

-a nice chocolate bunny.
-Yeah. I like that.

I found one!
[ Laughs ]

Found one.

-I'm good at this, right?
-Really good.

Yeah. Would I be able to meet
the Easter Bunny tonight?

Well, he won't come
if you're awake.

-He won't?
-No.

All right. I'm gonna try real
hard to sleep, then, okay?

Will you make sure
I'm asleep, brother?

[ Both speak indistinctly ]

[ Egg cracks ]
Oh. I broke one.

[ Sirens wailing ]

[ Chuckles ]

-I love you.
-I love you, too.

Cory, why don't you go in your
room, go hide these eggs?

I'll -- I'll come
and find them.

-All right.
-Go.

Can I have him for tonight?

You can pick him up
in the morning.

Make sure he gets these
in the morning.

Come on. Turn around.

What did I do?

I don't know yet.

Why'd you leave with Cory?

I knew it'd be my last night
with him.

Listen.
Can we just take these off

so I can give him a hug
when he leaves?

I think we should play it safe.
Keep them on.

Why?
What am I gonna do?

I don't know, but I'm not gonna
take any more chances.

[ Chuckling ]
Hey, brother.

Ms. Lucy said I'm gonna
go meet new friends.

Oh, that's great.

Why you got your hands
behind your back?

My hands are real cold,

so I'm keeping them
in my pockets back here.

Why don't you keep them
in your front pockets?

Oh, that's a good idea.

You always were smarter than me,
brother.

[ Laughing ] That's because
I'm your older brother.

Happy Easter, brother.

Happy Easter, brother.

Come on. Let's go.

What about him?

He'll be okay.

We're gonna go meet
that nice, new family.

I want my brother.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughs ]

Hi, brother.
Wait, no. No.

No!
[ Chuckles nervously ]

You moving?

No. Why you think that?

Well, there's a sign posted
in your yard.

Don't believe
everything you read.

All right, well,
you should move.

You know, we could actually
be like a year or two older

than we really are.

Or younger.

I keep thinking
I've got this mom out there...

who thinks about me,

comin' back to get me.

If she didn't want me...

I'd just like to ask her
when I was born.

I wouldn't bother her
any more.

Look, I don't want
to know this.

I mean, you opened up
to the wrong person.

You got Kobe
as a girlfriend now.

Tell her.

Here.

It's your chance
to get out of here.

You got nothing
keeping you here.

You don't know
what I got.

Fine. You want to stay?

Then why don't you go back
and work for Tyan?

It's the easiest job
in the world.

What do you do, you fuck chicks
who look like models?

What's so hard
about that?

Don't ever make Kobe
feel that way.

I won't.

I love her.

Good answer.

Thanks, um, for, uh,

you know, having faith in me
to pay the money back.

You don't have
that kind of money, Adam.

Well, then, you're gonna have to
start hating me pretty quick.

Right.

Except I can't.

We grew up together.

I'm all grown up now.

You are the only family
that I got.

I do not want
to lose you, Adam.

You got Cory.

Angeline's dead.

They took Cory away.

I'm sorry.
Come here.

[ Inhales deeply ]

[ Children talking, yelling ]

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Sighs ]

I didn't realize
I was so close.

Don't worry about it.

Everybody gets cold.

Feeling better?

Yeah.

Well, then, I guess
I can be an asshole again.

Hey.

I paid $100 for this.

So now I owe $37,100.

He's gonna kill me
if I don't kill you.

Great.

Look at the mess
you got yourself into.

Yeah, well, you know,
I had to look after you somehow.

I'll pay back the money,
I promise.

-How can you be sure?
-Because I said I promise.

Just pay it, Adam.

[ Knocking on door ]

Coming!

-Mom.
-What?

-Are you gonna answer it?
-Yes.

Hello?

Devin: Yeah.

Uh, Devin?

Y-- uh, yeah.
What, were you expecting me?

No. Never.
[ Laughs nervously ]

Why don't you, um, come in?
Come in.

Okay.

[ Exhales sharply ]

-Hey.
-This -- This is Gilbert.

-Hi.
-Hi.

-How's it going?
-Good.

-Uh --
-Are you going somewhere, honey?

-Yeah. I'm late. I got to go.
-No, stick around. Why don't --

No, Mom, seriously.
I really need to go.

-Okay.
-I'll see you later.

-Okay.
-Bye. Uh, nice meeting you.

Yeah. All right.

-[ Laughs nervously ]
-Hey.

Hi.

Okay.

[ Sighs ]

Oh.

So, um
[Laughs nervously]

h-how did you find me?

Oh, uh...
I went down to the club.

Antonio told me
where you lived.

Um...

are you in love with Adam?

[ Chuckles ]

Never thought about it.

[ Breathes deeply ]
I guess that means no.

Well, could you be?

No.

Is that why you came here?

Yes.

Look, I need to know
how you feel about Adam.

He's a friend.

No, he's not!

He's not gonna be
anybody's friend!

Adam's in trouble.

What about you?
Are you in trouble?

Yeah.

I'm not gonna be
anybody's friend, either.

[ Sighs ]

What do I have to do?

You know what Adam does?

Yeah, he's in movies.

Adult movies.

I want you...

to sleep with Adam.

You'll get paid
1,000 bucks a scene.

I'll make sure it's
the safest situation possible.

[ Breathes deeply ]

What about you?
Are you gonna be there?

No, that's not my thing.

I'll do it.

Yeah?

Yeah.

-Thanks.
-[ Voice breaking ] Thanks.

Okay, bye.

-All right.
-Yeah.

-Thanks.
-Okay.

[ Door shuts ]

[ Sobs ]

Warrick:
Hey, Adam, it's your dad.

I was just calling to,
you know,

see how things were going.

I mean, um, I was thinking
about maybe visiting you

or something.
You know, it's been a while.

Think of it as doing something
for your son.

I thought you were
supposed to be asleep.

Who's that, Dad?

Um, uh...that's your mom.

[ Camera shutter clicks,
printer whirs ]

Are you coming?

-Yeah.
-Good.

Why are you taking me
over here?

Because...

I found
who I was looking for.

Why are you taking
your top off?

Because...you have to
get used to my naked body.

We're gonna do
a scene together.

We already
been seen together.

No, for the movies.

Look, I don't got no money
for you tonight.

I think you should put
your top back on.

Please.

How much?

How much did he give you?

Who?

Devin.

For what?

For giving me money.

He turned out to be
more than I expected.

His mom would be proud.

I am.

You're his mom?

You can stop.

Stop pretending.

Okay.

Now I know why you didn't want
to give me a lap dance.

You were watching over me
for Devin.

-[ Sniffles ]
-Somethin' like that.

I figured that's what
he'd do for me.

When were you
gonna tell him?

Soon.

How did you know?

Doesn't matter.
I just did.

I ain't doing
a scene with you.

You don't know nothing
about me.

You don't even know
my last name.

I know everything.

I know everything
I need to know about you.

I know that your name
is Adam Blande.

I know that your address
is 1125 Webster Street.

I know
that you're Devin's friend.

I know that
you got him into trouble.

I ain't gonna put you
in trouble.

[ Crying ]
Oh.

Adam, fuck me,
please. Please.

I can't.

-I can't.
-Oh, yes, you can.

This looks like me
when I was younger.

It's not.

How would I have a picture
of you in my wallet?

Adam, Tyan is expecting
your answer tomorrow.

I'll give you my answer
tomorrow, too, okay?

When's Devin's birthday?

April 1st.

April Fool's Day.

1977.

[ Sobbing ]
Adam, please don't go. No, no.

Please don't go.
Please don't go.

Please don't go.

No.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

We had a deal.

Hey. She came to me, okay?

I'm not gonna turn down
a franchise.

-Hi, Adam.
-She just saved your life.

I told you, I'm not doing
nothing with her.

Well, then,
you owe me $37,000.

My apologies -- $35,000,

since she's working
for me now.

-Ooh, come on.
-You know, actually,

right now, I owe you

$34,999.

That all you got?

I got one more day.

Excuse me.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Sighs ]

Man: Yeah, I know
I told you that. Yeah, I know.

I realize that.

I probably think I made
some kind of a record.

[ Chuckles ]

You can thank me later,
all right? We'll do Italian.

[ Chuckles ]
Sorry.

Adam,
got your check for you.

$37,600.

Already took out my 6%.
[ Clears throat ]

-Good.
-Yeah.

They're comin' by around 6:00
and 7:00 to change the locks.

That'll -- That'll give you
enough time

-to get your stuff out, right?
-Yeah.

Great, great.

Well, good doing business
with you, man.

-Yeah.
-All right. Hey -- Oh, hey.

Hey, there you go. Pass these
out to your friends, will you?

It's important, you know,
for my biz.

-You take care, all right?
-You, too.

Let's do lunch sometime, okay?
Okay.

[ Door shuts ]

[ Sighs deeply ]

[ Clears throat ]

[ Dog barking ]

Your old plane ticket.

You sold your house?

Got the money?

Yeah,
be all settled tomorrow.

Where you moving?

Up north, I think.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Oh, hey.

Open it.

Oh, wow.

What do you think?

Well, Devin, I'm flattered,
but I can't marry you.

[ Chuckles ]

I'm gonna ask Kobe
to marry me.

Wow.

-Sorry.
-Don't drop it, man.

Sorry.

I'm gonna propose
to her tonight.

Just, you know, don't do it
on the phone.

[ Chuckles ] No.

I'm gonna go over
when she's sleeping

and slip it on her finger.

When she wakes up...

ask her to marry me.

Wow.
[ Chuckles ]

Uh, what time
you gonna go over?

Like 11:00.

That's when
she goes to sleep.

Wow.
Good luck, you know?

Yeah.

Just, you know,
don't get to excited.

We got to make sure,
you know, you eat.

Get somethin'
in that stomach.

[ Laughing ]
Yeah.

Come here.

All right, man.

[ Clears throat ]

See you later, huh?

Kobe: Is this real?

Devin:
It's just a BB gun.

Adam:
Why else would I have it?

Hey.

-I'm not getting beat up today.
-I've been practicing.

I know I can get you down
in 30 seconds this time.

Well, I'll have to pay you
to beat somebody else up.

-Uh...
-3:00.

I...got an appointment
at 3:00

to break this guy's finger.
I'm gettin' 50 bucks,

-and my guy, he's --
-100 bucks.

-100 bucks.
-Oh, 100 bucks.

3:00. All right?
Come on.

I think I could --

Yeah, bring it on!

Excuse me.

I got a message from Adam.

Yeah?

[ Both grunt ]

Sorry.

Okay, uh, j-just one more.

I-I'm sorry.

All right.

So, uh, I'm gonna
give you $500

if you're here at 3:00
for the next five days.

What do I got to do?

Just make sure
Ron doesn't beat up Gilbert.

All right.

Um, open up
that calendar thing.

I want you to say this
to Gilbert.

Wow. It's, like, the best job
I had in my life.

[ Chuckles ]

-Okay.
-Okay.

Okay. Shoot.

-All right. "Adam moved."
-"Adam moved.

If he don't keep in touch,

don't take it personal.

You have nothing
to worry about.

Adam."

I guess I'm gonna be walking you
home for a little while.

No. It's okay.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

I think I can handle it
on my own.

Thank you.

Yeah.

[ Sighs ]

You remember that girl
I told you I was in love with?

Yeah.

What was her name again?

I never told you
her name.

I don't want
to make her hate me.

Why?

I'm moving.

It'll be easier for her.
She won't be sad when I'm gone.

Well, maybe she'd want
to go with you.

No.

She needs
to live her life here.

When are you moving?

Tomorrow.

Well, we don't have
much time.

How do you want
to do this?

I made it easy for us.

I told her to come over
around 11:00,

just to come in,
not even knock.

We'll be in bed.

I'll go change.

What's that?

Uh, you said you want
to see me on videotape.

I'm gonna show it
to you later.

Is the girl on the tape
the one who's coming over?

No.

But you'll meet her soon.

Right.
[ Sighs ]

I mean, you're a pro now.

I don't got to tell you
what to do.

I don't pull hair.

With me, you would.

It would be so intense,

you'd need to hold on
just to keep up with me.

Your hands would be sliding all
over my skin from all the sweat.

The bed would be moving too fast
to even get a grip.

The sheets would be shredded
from your nails.

You'd have no choice.

You're making me
want Devin here.

I'm gonna close my eyes.

Okay.

Just make sure you say my name
and not Devin's.

No kissing.

I never tried before.

Because I'm not a guy?

Kobe: Yes. Yes.

[ Chuckling ]
Oh, yes, Adam.

[ Moaning ]

Yes, Adam.

[ Moans ]

[ Strained ]
I need a couple more seconds.

Oh. It's not what you think,
Devin.

No. It's not like
we're in love or anything.

It's not
what you think, Devin!

No, it isn't --

-[ Grunting ]
-No, Devin!

[ Crying ] Please!
It's not what you think!

We were just pretending!
You have to believe me!

Why don't you save it
for tomorrow?

But Devin --

[ Door slams ]

[ Moaning ]

[ Sobbing ]
You're an asshole.

Yeah, I told you I was.

[ Moaning continues ]

Yeah, you see that?

I could never do that
with you.

You're too ugly.

If I kissed you,
I'd throw up.

[ Sobbing ]
Get out!

Oh, Adam.

I'm glad you're leaving.

I wish you were dead.

Yeah, well your wish
will come true.

[ Sobbing ]
Get out!

Get out! Get out!

Get out!

[ Sobbing ]

[ Moaning continues ]

Oh, Adam.

[ Sobbing ]

Warrick:
Hey, Adam, it's your dad.

I was just calling to,
you know,

see how things were going.

I was thinking
about maybe visiting you

or something.
You know, it's been a while.

You should be wearing
your sunglasses, Antonio.

It's a beautiful day out.

Oh, no.
I want to see this.

Do you have the money?

That's a tough question.

I'm gonna have to say no.

Devin, do you?

If I'm gonna get shot,

I don't want to get hurt more
by falling on this.

Tyan:
Adam, put the BB gun away.

I'm doing this for you, Devin.

Devin: It's your chance
to get out of here.

You got nothing
keeping you here.

Kobe:
Is there anything between us?

I got this mom
out there somewhere.

Warrick: You're better off
without me in your life anyway.

Adam: I figured
that's what he'd do for me.

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshots ]

[ Gunshot ]

I'm gonna make this quick.

I got to get back to Kobe.

[ Coughing ]

I told you
I'd make it easier for you.

Kobe was right.

We were just pretending.

She loves you.

She loves you.

My plan worked.

[ Wheezing ]

You arm will be cool.

Doctors can fix it
right up.

[ Coughs ]

I got the money, too.

[ Coughing ]

Why didn't you
give it to them?

It's your money.

You got a mom

and a brother
to look after.

What are you talkin' about,
I got a mom and a brother?

[ Wheezes ]

It hurts for me to talk.

Sirena will tell you.

Oh.

I'm getting cold.

My dad never told me
when my birthday was.

[ Coughs ]

It's always the first day
we met in the orphanage.

[ Sirens wailing ]

-Get out of here.
-No.

I'm not gonna leave you.

[ Wheezing ]

You're my family, Devin.

[ Sirens wailing ]

[ Coughing ]

Warrick:
Hey, uh, Adam, it's, uh --

It's me, you know?

Hey, I just --
I really love the house, man.

You did a great job.
It looks -- looks great.

I, uh --
[ Clears throat ]

Sorry about leaving. You know,
I was gonna wake you up,

but then I was afraid,
you know,

we wouldn't have nothing
to talk about, so...

I just don't want
to disappoint you no more,

so, uh --

Yeah, I think --

Yeah, you're better off
without me in your life anyway.

So, uh...bye.
