Over/Under (2013) - full transcript

[ TICKING ]
UH, RIGHT. OKAY.
SO, HERE GOES.

[ CHUCKLES ]
AS YOU KNOW, I'M A TRADER.

I, UH --
I'M NOT REALLY A NUMBERS GEEK,

BUT I'VE GOT STRONG CONTACTS
IN THE FIELD

AND I'M NOT AFRAID
TO TAKE BIG CHANCES

THAT KEEP MY CLIENTS
VERY WEALTHY.

SO, BOTTOM LINE IS I, UH --
I MAKE A PILE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

BUT, YOU KNOW, A PILE
IN THIS CITY, IT'S LIKE --

UH, IT'S LIKE A WAD OF GUM
ON THE SIDEWALK.

[ CHUCKLES ]



UM, SO, I MET --
I MET MY WIFE, VICKY,

ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO AT A PARTY
IN THE MEATPACKING DISTRICT.

SHE HAD ON THESE JEANS
SO TIGHT YOU COULD --

YOU COULD READ HER FORTUNE.

AND THE MOUTH ON HER.
[ CHUCKLES ]

SHE WAS --

WE WERE SCREWING IN THE BATHROOM
THREE HOURS AFTER WE MET.

PRIMAL, I MEAN...

SORRY. UM...

VICKY'S NOT REALLY ONE TO PAY
MUCH ATTENTION TO CAPITAL.

SO -- AND SHE LOVES TO PLAY.

SO, WE WERE A BIT, UH,
EXCESSIVE, I GUESS.

YOU KNOW, JETTING OFF TO CABO
ON A SECOND'S NOTICE,

GETTING OUR FREAK ON
IN THE BACK OF A LIMO



AFTER A NIGHT OUT AT THE CLUBS.

I MEAN, WE BURNED THROUGH MONEY.

BUT, UH...

[ CLEARS THROAT ]
A COUPLE THINGS HAPPENED.

FIRST, MY JOB.

I MADE A BAD CALL
ON SOME GOOD INTEL,

AND I COST MY COMPANY A LOT OF
MONEY -- ROUGHLY $80 MILLION.

[ CHUCKLES ]

SECONDLY, I, UH -- I STARTED
TRADING OPTIONS ON MY OWN,

OUTSIDE MY JOB, JUST FOR KICKS.

TOTALLY LEGIT.

AND THAT FEELING, MAN.

BEATING THE ODDS
WITH MY OWN MONEY.

I MEAN, I'M NOT
SOME HUGE CORPORATION

THAT CAN TAKE, LIKE,
A MASSIVE HIT.

I'M JUST A GUY AND HIS WALLET,
YOU KNOW?

THE STAKES ARE SO, GOD,
UNBELIEVABLY HIGH.

[ HANDS CLAP, RUB ]

SO, THEN, UH...

THEN I MADE A BAD CALL
ON SOME BAD INTEL.

AND I NEEDED TO RECOUP,
SO I DOUBLED UP.

AND THEN I DOUBLED UP AGAIN,
AND THEN I DOUBLED UP...

AGAIN.

I'M TWO OR THREE DAYS
FACING EXPIRATION, BASICALLY,

AND I'M TRYING TO SELL
BUT NOBODY'S BUYING.

AND I SEE IT HAPPENING.

I-I-I -- MY BRAIN KNOWS
THAT I GOT TO PULL OUT,

BUT I JUST --
I WAS HIGH, MAN, YOU KNOW?

SO, I, UH...

SO, WHAT DID I DO?

I RODE THOSE SUCKERS DOWN

UNTIL THEY WERE WORTH
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

[ TICKING CONTINUES ]

[ SMACKS LIPS ]

[ CHUCKLES ]

AND THEN THE, UH -- AND THEN
THE THIRD THING HAPPENED.

ANYHOO.

UM, THE FOLLOWING WEEK,

I-I SHOWED UP IN THIS
HERE CHURCH BASEMENT.

HERE I AM.

I'M PAUL, AND I'M AN ADDICT.

[ TIMER RINGS ]

[ BELL DINGS ]

[ DANCE MUSIC PLAYING ]

TO KILLER KELLER
ON ANOTHER MAJOR SCORE.

IT'S NOT A DONE DEAL YET,
COMRADES.

THE STOCKS ARE TRADING AT
DISCOUNTS TO NET CURRENT ASSETS.

THEY HAVE MINIMAL DEBT.
THEY'RE GENERATING EARNINGS.

TRUE.
THE TECH STOCK IS FREAKING
BUYING THE AEROSPACE STOCK.

EVERYTHING POINTS
TO THE DEAL GOING THROUGH.

WELL, STILL, THE MARKET'S
INEFFICIENT RIGHT NOW.

BUT, HEY. SCREW IT.

MILLIONS HANG
IN THE BALANCE,

AND I'M SITTING HERE DRINKING
$2,000 COGNAC LIKE IT'S WATER.

[ Muffled ] SOMETIMES THIS
BUSINESS MAKES ZERO SENSE.

ZERO.

HIGH-ROLLER HEAVEN
UP HERE.

THAT HITLER YOUTH
KEEPS THROWING EYES AT YOU.

THREE MONTHS AGO,
I CLEANED HIM OUT OF 85 GRAND.

[ LAUGHTER ]

YOUR FIRST TRADE OFF THE BOOKS.
THAT WAS SOME SICK LUCK.

NOT LUCK. CHOPS.

A MAN AFRAID OF RISK
IS A MAN AFRAID OF LIVING.

YOU SHOULD JUST
DITCH THE LEGIT WORLD.

DIRTY DOUGH
FAVORS THE BOLD.

ILLEGAL GAMBLING
IS THE DEVIL'S WORK.

WE GAMBLE FOR A LIVING, KELLER.
WE CALL IT "BUILDING EQUITY."

SAME SHTICK,
DIFFERENT NECKTIE.

NO, WHAT WE DO
IS ENGINEER PROFIT

FROM THE COLLAPSE
OF THE GLOBAL MARKET.

IT'S NOBLE.

ARE YOU SAYING IT'S LESS ETHICAL
THAN FANTASY FOOTBALL?

[ LAUGHS ]
I'M SAYING
YOU PAY TO PLAY.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!

A LEFTOVER.

GUESS SHE DIDN'T HEAR
I GOT HITCHED.

HOW ABOUT FLINGING YOUR CASTOFFS
TO US SINGLE DUDES?

GENTS, TAKE YOUR PICK.

I GOT MY DIAMOND.
WHO NEEDS CUT GLASS?

OUCH.
THAT WAS HARSH.

SPEAKING OF,

MY GORGEOUS AND HIGHLY
UNCONVENTIONAL BRIDE AWAITS.

IT'S LADIES' NIGHT. I'LL SEE
YOU INFANTS IN THE MORNING.

HE'S A LUCKY BASTARD.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING ]

[ DANCE MUSIC PLAYS ]

Vicky:
LOOK STRAIGHT IN THE CAMERA.

PUT YOUR HEAD BACK.
A LITTLE BIT. YEAH.

YOU'VE GOT
BEAUTIFUL EYES.

[ ELEVATOR BELL DINGS ]

Paul: VICKY.
Vicky: YEP.

HEY, BABE.
HEY, YOU.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING ]

[ SNIFFS ]

HONEY, WHY ARE YOU
WORKING FROM HOME?

THE AIR STILL BROKEN
AT YOUR BROOME STREET STUDIO?

YEAH, LANDLORD
GROPEY McRAPENSTIEN

IS TOO BUSY
LOTIONING HIS HANDS TO FIX IT.

GOD, I CAN'T WAIT TILL
MY BROOKLYN STUDIO IS READY.

WHEN DID HE SAY?
TWO WEEKS.

FLOOR PEOPLE
ARE COMING TOMORROW. YAY.

YAY. WHO'S THIS?

PAUL...
THIS IS FRIDA.

HI, FRIDA.

LOVE BROOKLYN. SO EDGY.
[ CHUCKLES ]

YOU'RE SHINY.

FOR MY EROTICA
PORTFOLIO.

I FOUND HER
OUTSIDE THE ELDRIDGE.

SHE WANTS TO BANG US WHEN WE'RE
DONE HERE, IF THAT'S COOL.

DO YOU MIND
IF I SHOWER FIRST?

I THINK YOU LOOK FINE
JUST LIKE THAT.

I'D RATHER YOU DIDN'T.
[ LAUGHS ]

SEE YOU IN A LITTLE.
SEE YOU.

OKAY.

JUST HEARD. MAN!

I'M, UH...
YEAH. IT'S --

I DON'T GET IT.
EVERYONE LOST BIG.

THAT AEROSPACE DEAL
WAS SMALL BEANS.

I MEAN, OKAY,
MEDIUM BEANS.

YOU GOT ANY, UH,
PROSPECTS, OR...

YEAH, I AM GONNA WALK
OUT THAT DOOR,

TAKE THE ELEVATOR
DOWN TO THE LOBBY CAFE,

GRAB A CARAMEL MACCHIATO,
AND SIP IT VERY, VERY SLOWLY.

AND THEN I'M GONNA
WHIP OUT MY iPad

AND CHECK THE PROFITS
ON MY OWN OPTIONS.

I'VE BEEN TRADING.

YOUR OWN DOUGH?
MY OWN DOUGH.

ON AN iPad?

OH, I HAVE AN APP.

WHO, ME? I'M REGALLY DECIMATED,
THANK YOU.

ASIDE FROM JUST GETTING
UNCEREMONIOUSLY CANNED,

THEY'RE ABOUT TO CLOSE
WELL BELOW THE STRIKE PRICE.

YEAH. MY MONEY IS GONE, PAL --

I'M ALREADY GONE.

SINCE WHEN?
LAST WEEKEND.

30 MINUTES IN A CAB,
40 MINUTES ON THE TRAIN.

YOU'RE RIDING
THE TRAIN NOW?

NO, YOU ARE
WHEN YOU COME VISIT ME.

IT'S TOO SOON TO MOVE SO FAR
AWAY FROM YOUR SUPPORT GROUP.

OH, WALLY, I'M GOOD, MAN.
TRUST ME.

I-I MEAN, LOOK,
DO I MISS THE HEADINESS,

THE -- THE ADRENALINE?
SURE. BUT NOT ENOUGH.

I MADE SOME SOUND INVESTMENTS
THAT HAVE PAID OFF,

VICKY'S FREELANCE WORK
IS PICKING UP,

AND THE MARKET
IS PICKING UP.

SO, HONEST TO GOD,
THINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER.

I AM ACCEPTING LIFE
ON LIFE'S TERMS.

YOU SOUND

WELL, I'M THAT GUY.

AIN'T THAT SOMETHING.
HEY, TERESA! COME LOOKIT!

LEAVE HIM ALONE,
AUNT CARLA.

NUNZIE, WOULD A LITTLE EXERCISE
KILL YOU?

SHOULDN'T YOU BE IN A DARK ROOM
SUCKING DOWN A CAMPARI?

WAY AHEAD OF YOU.
[ CACKLES ]

PEDRO,
TENGA CUIDADO CON ESO!

EASY! SHE ALREADY GOT
A FOOT IN THE GRAVE.

HEY, AUNT TERESA.

WHY YOU BARBECUING OUTSIDE?
IT'S HORRIBLE OUT.

MAYBE HIS GAS
GOT CUT OFF.

YEAH, YOU LADIES,
YOU WOULDN'T KNOW

ANYTHING ABOUT THAT,
WOULD YOU?

NOPE, NOT ME.

SHE'S LYING, MARINO.
TURNED IT OFF HERSELF.

IT'S MY BUILDING.
I CAN DO WHAT I WANT.

AND YOUR FATHER HASN'T PAID ME
A DIME SINCE APRIL.

OKAY. WELL, COULD YOU, YOU KNOW,
MAYBE TURN IT ON AGAIN?

SURE, IF YOU'D GET YOUR POP
TO SELL ANOTHER UNIT

IN THAT OOH-LA-LA
BUILDING OF HIS.

WHICH ONE IS THAT?
PETER?

ANTHONY.
THE SLOW ONE.

VAL DROPPED HIM OFF
TO GET HER NAILS DONE.

COME ON, AUNT CARLA.

WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING
WITHOUT THE GAS, ALL RIGHT?

WE CAN'T COOK, WE CAN'T
TAKE SHOWERS, DO THE DISHES --

SHOULD HAVE PASSED THE BUILDING
DOWN TO YOU KIDS

INSTEAD OF RACKING UP
ALL THAT DEBT.

OKAY. OKAY.
HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
STOP, STOP.

DON'T TALK THAT WAY
IN FRONT OF NUNZIE, ALL RIGHT?

IT'S DISRESPECTFUL.
OH, I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT'S DISRESPECTFUL.

SPENDING DOUGH HE DON'T GOT
ON A FANCY OVERHAUL

AND INVITING A BUNCH OF CITY
JERKS TO COME PISS ON OUR LAWNS.

AUNT CARLA, YOU'RE LOOKING
VERY FETCHING TODAY.

HOW DO I GET THE GAS
BACK ON?

TAKE MY GARBAGE OUT.

AND TERESA'S.

AND TRIM THE ROSE BUSHES.

[ BELL RINGS ]

ALL RIGHT, WHO LIKES THEIRS
AL DENTE, HUH?

[ HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYS ]

Louis: MARINO!

HEY, LOUIE!
HOW'S THE LEG?

STILL ATTACHED.

HEY,
SHOULDN'T YOU BE OFF

MAKING BIG NUMBERS
OUT OF LITTLE ONES?

HEY, SHOULDN'T YOU
BE ON DIALYSIS SOMEWHERE?

[ LAUGHS ]

[ SCRAPING ]

WHOA. WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
TOMMY. BILLY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS,
A CHURCH SALE?

YOUR DAD SAID
IT WAS COOL.

HE DID, HUH?
"JUST TAKE IT"?

YEAH.

WATER IT TWICE A WEEK.

ALL RIGHT.

[ BELL RINGS ]

HEY.
WHY YOU
GIVING AWAY PLANTS?

WHAT? THE BOYS WANTED
SOMETHING NICE FOR
THEIR GRANDMA'S YARD.

ROSIE'S BEEN GOOD TO US.

THAT WAS A $50 TREE.
AH, WE PAID LESS.

$37.75 -- YOU GIVE AWAY ONE
PER WEEK, WE LOSE $637 A YEAR.

IN HIS HEAD,
HE DID THAT!

WHICH IS $2,548
EVERY FOUR YEARS,

WHICH WOULD COVER EIGHT
SEMESTERS OF CLASSES AT I.T.T.

WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES.

AND THE OTHER TWO UNITS
HAVEN'T EVEN SOLD YET,

WHICH MEANS
YOU OWE THAT MUCH

PLUS HALF PER MONTH
ON EACH UNIT.

MARINO, WHAT YOU
HAVE YET TO GRASP IS

YOU DO THESE PEOPLE FAVORS,
THEY DO YOU FAVORS IN RETURN.

IN THIS TOWN, THAT'S WORTH
A HELL OF A LOT MORE

THAN A COUPLE
OF MEASLY SHRUBS.

SHRUBS?
YOU'RE GOING BANKRUPT.

THAT'S WHY
I KEEP YOU AROUND.

NOW GO WORK YOUR MAGIC
ON THE BOOKS, HUH?

[ DOG BARKING ]

HEY. HOW YOU DOING?
HEY.

[ BELL TOLLS ]

YOU TAKE ALL OF THESE?

UH, YEAH.

THAT CHICK BACK THERE
COULD USE A BRAZILIAN.

I WILL PASS THAT ON.

HEY, BABE, UM, LISTEN,

JOSé WANTS PAYMENT FOR
THE BATHROOM BEFORE HE STARTS,

AND I CAN'T FIND
YOUR CHECKBOOK,

SO CALL ME AFTER
YOUR INTERVIEW.

OKAY? BYE.
[ BEEP ]

NICE PLACE.

HOW MANY UNITS IN THE BUILDING
GOT BOUGHT?

UH, JUST THIS ONE.

SHOULD HAVE WAITED
TILL THE MARKET BOTTOMED OUT.

YOU WANT A BISCOTTI
WITH THAT?

YOU GOT ANY
NORMAL COOKIES?

HEY.
HEY. YOU'RE HOME.

WHY ARE YOU HOME?
DID IT NOT GO WELL?

YEAH. WENT GREAT.

THEY FLIPPED FOR MY PORTFOLIO,
THEY LOVED MY TIE,

AND THEY SAID I WAS THE BEST
CANDIDATE THEY'D SEEN ALL WEEK.

BUT?

THEY CAN'T AFFORD ME.

I'LL TAKE CASH.
WHATEVER YOU GOT.

IT'S FIVE.

HEY,
DID YOU SEE THE --

THAT AWESOME COFFEE ROASTER
PLACE UP THE STREET?

THERE'S ANOTHER ONE
A FEW BLOCKS DOWN.

YOU SHOULDN'T LOWER YOUR QUOTE
OR ANYTHING?

NO.
WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT?

NO, I-I'M JUST SAYING
YOU SHOULDN'T.

OKAY.

HOW'S IT GOING,
ALL THE ORGANIZING?

WELL, MY PROP CLOSET
IS NOW YOUR WARDROBE,

MY EDITING ROOM
HAS BECOME OUR BEDROOM,

AND LITERALLY EVERYTHING I OWN
IS ON WHEELS, SO...

YOU'RE AMAZING.

WE'RE BROOKLYNITES.

[ LAUGHS ] I KNOW.
ON THE BLEEDING EDGE.

[ CHUCKLES ]

OH, UM...THE HINGES
ON THE KITCHEN CABINET

WERE INSTALLED BACKWARDS,
SO...

[ HORN HONKS ]

COME ON.
I'M COMING. I'M COMING.

I'M THE ONE
WITH THE HEELS.

I'M JUST --
I'M ADMIRING THE VIEW.

MY GOD, THAT DRESS.

SAKE,
COMPLIMENTS OF ICHIRO.

OH, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

MUST HAVE BEEN THAT MAMMOTH TIP
WE LEFT YESTERDAY.

OKAY, WE HAVE TO
STOP SPENDING LIKE THIS.

[ British accent ] NO, I SHAN'T
GIVE UP MY COMFORT FOOD.

YOU'VE ONLY BEEN ON, LIKE,
THREE JOB INTERVIEWS.

TELL ME YOU HAVE A PLAN.

[ Normal voice ] LET ME ASK YOU
SOMETHING SERIOUSLY.

HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN TALKING
ABOUT STARTING UP MY OWN THING?

Two years.

IT'S TIME.

INVESTORS ARE PULLING OUT
OF THE LARGER FIRMS,

AND THEY WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE
SMALL WITH A LOW RISK INDEX.

AND WHO BETTER THAN A GUY
WITH A GREAT TRACK RECORD,

A PRISTINE CLIENT LIST,
AND YEARS OF EXPERIENCE?

YOU'RE ON.
JUST PLAY IT SEXY.

MM.

OW, OW!

[ LAUGHS ]

[ CHILDREN LAUGHING ]

IS THIS ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD
AN ENORMOUS DAYCARE

OR AM I JUST DRUNK?
UH, BOTH.

WHERE ARE
ALL THE INDIE PUNKS

IN PLAID SHIRTS
AND IRONIC FACIAL HAIR?

HEY, YOU THINK WE SHOULD HAVE
LOOKED AROUND A LITTLE MORE?

YOU KNOW, CHECKED OUT
SOME OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS?

NO, IT'LL BE FINE.

WE'LL HAVE TO KEEP OUR HEADS
ABOVE TOT LEVEL.

MM. CHEERS.

SO, I'M THINKING...

HMM?

...MAYBE YOUR DAD
CAN FLOAT US FOR A BIT.

[ LAUGHS ] NO.

COME ON. JUST UNTIL
WE GET BACK ON OUR FEET.

WE ARE BACK ON OUR FEET.

I NEED INVESTORS.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE,
LIKE, A BIG THING.

OH, BUT IT WILL BE.
HE'S VICTOR HARMON-CASTLE.

[ As Victor ]
HE DOESN'T SUFFER FOOLS.

HE DOESN'T THINK
I'M A FOOL.

BABY,
ONLY FOOLS PISS AWAY

THE LAST OF THEIR SAVINGS
ON ZAMBIAN WOMEN'S BOXING.

WELL, WE NEVER TOLD HIM
ABOUT THE GAMBLING,

AND IT WOULDN'T BE
A TON OF MONEY.

NOT FOR HIM, ANYWAY.

I WOULD RATHER
MOP DIARRHEA

OFF THE FLOORS
OF THE LOCAL GERIATRIC CENTER

THAN ASK HIM
FOR ANOTHER DIME.

[ BABY COOING, SUCKING ]
[ GASPS ]
JESUS, GOD, NO.

IS THAT EVEN LEGAL?
THAT KID'S LIKE 8.

MIND YOUR OWN
BUSINESS.

LADY.

YOU'RE WAVING YOUR UDDERS
TWO INCHES FROM MY WATER GLASS.

IT'S MY BUSINESS.

AND, HEY,
WEREN'T THE SUBURBS INVENTED

TO PROTECT YOU
FROM PEOPLE LIKE ME?

I'LL BE
IN THE BATHROOM.
OKAY.

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

YOU EVIL SLUT.

AREN'T I JUST?

DEATH TO THE BREEDERS,
MY LOVE.

CLINK.

[ LAUGHS ]

Nunzia:
HEY, DADDY.

COULD I TAKE AN IMMERSION
BLENDER FROM THE STORE?

IT'S REALLY EXPENSIVE,
BUT THEY TOTALLY LAST FOREVER.

WHATEVER YOU WANT,
CARAFFIA.

YOU'RE GONNA MAKE SOMEBODY
A WONDERFUL WIFE ONE DAY.

YOU KNOW THAT?

I DON'T WANT TO BE A WIFE.
I WANT TO BE A CHEF.

WHOA! EXCUSE ME!
Love you, baby.

YOU HEAR THAT, MA?

[ SPEAKS ITALIAN ]

Liliana:
PEDRO, NO ES CODICIOSO.
BUT I'M HUNGRY!

GIVE US A SONG,
WOULD YOU?

OH, COME
ON. NOT NOW.

OH, COME ON,
COME ON, COME ON.

COME ON.
ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

[ SINGING IN ITALIAN ]

[ SINGING FADES ]

BRAVA! BRAVA!

[ APPLAUSE ]

WHAT?

STILL NOT USED TO SEEING YOU
IN YOUR SKIVVIES

THIS LATE
IN THE MORNING.

YEAH, WELL,
THERE ARE WORSE THINGS.

LIKE WHAT?

UM, ME
COKED OUT OF MY MIND

SCREAM-CRYING THAT I JUST LOST
800 GRAND ON A COIN TOSS?

WOW. FUN MEMORY.
THANK YOU FOR THAT.

HEY, I'M JUST KEEPING LIFE
IN CONTEXT, BABE.

MM-HMM.

PAUL.

YES?

OKAY.

I WILL HAVE THREE LEADS
BY THE END OF THE DAY.

I PROMISE.
DON'T CALL MY DAD.
OKAY?

OUR STRAITS
AREN'T THAT DIRE.

AS LONG AS I HAVE WORK,
OKAY?

EXACTLY.

OKAY. GOT TO SET UP
FOR MY 10:00 A.M.

THIS ONE WARNED ME SHE'S
"ENORMOUS."

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

HEY. DON'T LET HER SIT
ON THE BUBBLE CHAIR.

[ CHUCKLES ]

ARE MY NIPPLES VISIBLE?

NO.
THAT'S GOOD.

THERE'S A FINE LINE
BETWEEN TASTEFUL AND TACKY.

OH, YOU DON'T KNOW
ANNIE LIEBOVITZ, DO YOU?

NO.
I LOVE HER.

IT'S SO SAD, WHAT THEY
TRIED TO DO TO HER
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

AS AN ATTORNEY,
I FIND IT REPUGNANT.

[ SIGHS ]

AAH! I'M SO THRILLED
TO BE DOING THIS!

THE FEMALE BODY
IS A MIRACLE.

HEAD LEFT A LITTLE.
MM.

AND ALSO A NIGHTMARE
SOMETIMES.

I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN PREGNANT,

BUT THE INTESTINAL BLOCKAGE
IS UNREAL.

[ CHUCKLES ]

BUT, VERONICA,
IT'S SO WORTH IT.

IT'S CREATION.

YOU KNOW HOW YOU MAKE BEAUTY
WITH YOUR LENS?

WELL, I'M MAKING A HUMAN
WITH MY BODY.

IT'S SO...

WHAT'S THE WORD
I'M LOOKING FOR?

PRIMAL.
[ CHUCKLES ]

WE TAKE SUCH PAINS
TO BE CIVILIZED.

WE GET OUR HAIR
AND OUR NAILS DONE

AND SIP OUR BEVERAGES
AND MAKE POLITE CONVERSATION.

BUT BENEATH IT ALL,
WE'RE ANIMALS.

CAN WE PHOTOSHOP
MY STRETCH MARKS?

BENJAMIN.
HEY, IT'S PAUL KELLER.

[ CHILD BABBLING ]
HOW ARE YOU, PAL?

YEAH.

OH, WOW.
I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

UH, WELL, HEY,
LEMONS FROM LEMONADE, RIGHT?

I'M SURE YOU'LL FIND A NEW WIFE
IN NO TIME.

[ CHUCKLES ]

NO, LISTEN. UM,
IT'S FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK.

I'M ACTUALLY -- YOU KNOW,
I'M ON THE VERGE OF BUSTING OUT

MY OWN LOW-RISK
ASSET-MANAGEMENT THING,

AND I THOUGHT I'D GIVE YOU GUYS
FIRST DIBS.

[ CHILD CRYING ]

NO, DON'T WORRY.
IT'S COOL.

MAYBE THE GREAT BLACKOUT
OF 2012.

NO.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
IT WAS, BABE?

THE ELECTRIC BILL?

WE ACCIDENTALLY HAD IT SET

TO AUTOMATIC PAYMENT
ON YOUR OLD CREDIT CARD.

YOU KNOW, THE ONE WE CUT UP

DID YOU CALL THEM?
MM-HMM.

THEY'LL FIX IT WHEN THEY

ABOUT 12 CIGARETTES.

HONEY, I WILL DEAL WITH

I CAN'T DO IT.

OH, I FEEL TRAPPED.
I WANT TO SHRIEK.

I WANT TO TEAR

OKAY.

WELL,
WHAT CAN I DO, BABY?

WELL, YOU COULD PRESS
THIS CIGARETTE INTO MY NECK

AND BEG ME TO SUCK YOU.

I DON'T BEG

YOU KNOW, THE KIND
THAT TASTE LIKE PUDDING?

UH, I WOULDN'T KNOW.

THEY'RE NOT REALLY

OKAY?
HE HAD A SCARE LAST WEEK.

SO, WHO DO THESE GUYS LIKE?

CINCINNATI. GOT IT.

WHAT IS HE,
A SIDELINE BOOKIE?

YEAH, BUT I DON'T THINK
HE'S DONE IT BEFORE.

HE SEEMS
A LITTLE TOO SHAKY.

WELL, IT TAKES PRACTICE,
LIKE ANYTHING ELSE.

SEEMS LIKE
HE'S GOT A DECENT HEAD.

I GET A GOOD FEELING
OFF OF HIM.

AND THAT WIFE OF HIS, HUH?
OOF, WHAT A KNOCKOUT.

WHERE'S HE
GET HIS LINE FROM?

THE NEWSPAPER.

WHAT? ARE YOU K-- THE PAPERS?
HE CAN'T OPERATE LIKE THAT.

IT SHOULD BE SOME FELLA
FROM VEGAS.

OR THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.
OR ON THE INTERNET, EVEN.

THEY DO EVERYTHING ONLINE
THESE DAYS.

OR ME.

YOU DON'T KNOW SQUAT
ABOUT LINE-MAKING.

POP, IT'S CRUNCHING,
RIGHT?

I COULD DO THAT
IN MY SLEEP.
COME ON.

I'D GRAB EVERY STAT EVER MADE,
PUNCH THEM INTO MY NOGGIN,

FIGURE THE LIKELIHOOD
OF A CERTAIN TEAM

WINNING BY A CERTAIN AMOUNT,
AND THEN CALL AROUND,

SEE WHO'S INJURED,
WHOSE MOM DIED, WHATEVER.

WHATEVER WOULD TRASH
A PLAYER'S GAME.

YEAH, UNCLE LOUIE
WAS A BOOKIE.

HUH, YOU NEVER TALKED TO HIM
ABOUT MAKING A LINE.

AND SAMMY HOOCH.

YOU KIDDING ME?

I LOOKED UP TO LOUIE
LIKE HE WAS FREAKING BATMAN.

AND HOOCH
IN THAT STINKING DELI,

RUNNING NUMBERS
BEHIND THE REGISTER --

BUSTED. BOTH OF THEM.

THEY GOT LAZY, POP.

THIS GUY, HE AIN'T LAZY.
HE'S CRISP AS A CRACKER.

ALSO...I THINK HE'S SCARED
OF SOMETHING.

I THINK I CAN PLAY HIM.

LOOK, I DON'T LIKE IT, HUH.
YOU'RE NOT USING YOUR HEAD.

WHAT ABOUT STATIC
FROM THE OLD GUARD?

BUNCH OF OLD MEN IN UNDERSHIRTS
PLAYING BRISK?

I THINK
I CAN HANDLE THEM.

[ SIGHS ]

THERE ARE SAFER WAYS
TO MAKE A BUCK, MARINO.

[ THE XX's "INTRO" PLAYS ]

[ VOCALIZING ]

THIS IS A KOI POND.

THIS IS A BAMBOO FENCE.

UH-HUH. AND WHAT ARE

AND THIS?

THAT'S SOY SAUCE.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

I LOVE IT.

IT IS OUR DREAM.

OH, IT'S A BEAUTY.

WHEN DO YOU START
CONSTRUCTION?

OH, WE PLANNED THIS GARDEN
FOR THREE YEARS,

BUT BUSINESS
IS TOO SLOW NOW.

YOU KNOW, I SEE MEN LIKE YOU
WITH MONEY.

I KNOW
YOU DO SOMETHING RIGHT.

YOU SURVIVE BAD WEATHER.
I HAVE GREAT ADMIRATION.

IT'S ABOUT LUCK,
ICHIRO.

ONE MAKES LUCK. [ CHUCKLES ]
I NEED THE RECIPE.

IF YOU DON'T MIND MY ASKING,
HOW MUCH WOULD THIS COST?

$100,000.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU YOU COULD
POTENTIALLY HAVE THAT MONEY?

BY MONDAY.

IN CASH.

I WOULD MAKE
SARCASTIC FACE.

BUT LET'S TALK.

OKAY.

[ SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ]

AND WHICH FAMOUS MODEL
GAVE YOU THIS?

NAOMI. OH, GOD.
WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT.

[ INHALES DEEPLY ]

I, UH, THREW MYSELF A PARTY
TO GET OVER MY EX-WIFE,

AND THEN SHE SHOWS UP

WITH HER STUNNING NEW
JOURNALIST GIRLFRIEND.

I GOT OUTRAGEOUSLY DRUNK,

WOKE UP NEXT TO A GIRL
FROM MY PORTRAIT CLASS.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY STUDENT
YOU SLEPT WITH.

JUST THE BEST,

[ GLASSES CLINK ]

SO, TELL ME ABOUT
LIFE IN GOTHAM LITE.

WELL,
MY STUDIO IS DREAMY.

AND WE HAVE
A GORGEOUS ROOF DECK.

OH, DEAR LORD!

SO, PAUL'S OUT OF WORK AND WE'VE
GOT A MORTGAGE TO PAY, SO...

WELL, IF YOU
HAD STAYED WITH ME,

WE WOULD HAVE BEEN BROKE
WITHOUT A ROOF DECK TO PAY OFF.

[ SIGHS ] I DON'T WANT TO
BE BROKE, OLLIE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT,
LIEBLING?
GLAMOUR.

A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE ADDICTED
TO CHAOS IS WHAT I WANT.

[ LAUGHS ]
YOU CAN'T FIND THAT IN BROOKLYN?

I HAVEN'T REALLY
BEEN LOOKING.

WELL, THEN LOOK.
BE OPEN TO IT.

WHERE DO I EVEN START?

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION,
MAYBE?

"WIPE WARMER."
[ Laughing ] WHAT?

BABIES NEED TEMPERATURE-
CONTROLLED ASS WIPES?

[ CHUCKLES ] SHOULD I PUT THAT
ON THE REGISTRY?

HMM?

WHAT? AND A BLANKET
WITH ARMS AND A ZIPPER.

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH A REGULAR BLANKET?

SHOULD I PUT THAT ON THERE, TOO?
[ CHUCKLES ]

¿PAPI, QUE HACES?

HUH? NADA.

THEN YOU, UH,

AND THIS NUMBER RIGHT HERE --
THAT'S THE ANSWER.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

CHECK IT.

ALL RIGHT.
YOU SAW THAT ON YouTube.

I SWEAR TO GOD
I JUST MADE IT UP.

HOW?
I DON'T KNOW.

I'M LIKE AN IDIOT SAVANT

WHY YOU GOT TO GO AND DOG ME

'CAUSE WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO,

WHAT ABOUT COLLEGE?

PAPI, SOME RICH KID
WITH YOUR SKILLS

WOULD HAVE HAD SCHOLARSHIPS
COMING OUT OF HIS ASS,

BUT YOU DON'T EVEN APPLY.

WELL, I DID.
LAST WEEK.

REALLY?
YEAH.

I FILLED OUT THE APPLICATION
AND EVERYTHING.

I SHOWED IT TO POPS,
AND HE CRIED.

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM
CRY BEFORE.

NOT EVEN
WHEN MOMS DIED.

PAPI, I'M SORRY.

COME HERE.

[ GRUNTS ]

YOU REMEMBER
THREE SUMMERS AGO,

WHEN THOSE GOWANUS KIDS
WOULD POUR RUBBING ALCOHOL

INTO THE CRACKS
IN THE SIDEWALK AT NIGHT

AND SET THE STREET
ON FIRE?

AND YOU AND ME WOULD SIT
WITH OUR BEER AND WATCH,

AND YOU'D TELL ME ONE DAY

YOU WERE GONNA SET THE STREETS
ON FIRE, BUT WITH YOUR MIND?

AND I WAS LIKE,
"WHOA, THIS BRO'S DEEP."

WOW.
DID I REALLY SAY THAT?

[ Laughing ] YES.
OH. YEAH, I REMEMBER.

MAYBE YOU GOT TO DO THAT...

YEAH. COME ON IN.

I PROMISE I'M NOT
TRYING TO SEDUCE YOU.

THE POWER'S STILL OUT.

YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN
THAT GENERATOR.

[ Chuckling ]
YEAH. WHISKEY?

NO, I'M GOOD.
THANK YOU.

SO, HOW CAN I
HELP YOU?

WELL, I WAS THINKING
YOU COULD TALK THIS PLACE UP

TO YOUR BUDDIES,
YOU KNOW?

THE FACT IS,
WE NEED THE CASH.

LIKE, BAD.

WELL, YOUR DAD'S GOT CASH,
RIGHT?

I MEAN, THE STORE,
THIS BUILDING,

YOUR FAMILY'S BUILDING.

THE BUILDING'S BEEN
IN THE FAMILY FOREVER.

BUT NOW IT'S ALL LOANS.

THE STORE IS GOING UNDER,

AND THE PLACE WE LIVE
BELONGS TO MY AUNTS.

I WISH I KNEW SOMEONE
WHO WAS LOOKING TO BUY.

I'D HELP YOU OUT,
BUT I...

WELL, MAYBE
AS AN INVESTMENT?

YOU KNOW,
RENT IT OUT OR WHATEVER?

YEAH, WHO EXACTLY DO YOU IMAGINE
MY FRIENDS TO BE?

DUDES WITH MONEY.

DUDES WHO MAKE MONEY
BY SPENDING MONEY.

DUDES WHO MAKE
MONEY BY MOVING MONEY AROUND.

ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE ASKING?

YOU KNOW, I MOVED HERE
TO GET AWAY FROM PEOPLE LIKE ME.

YEAH, I KNOW.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL --
I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

COOL.

COOL.

[ CHUCKLES ]

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
I CAN HELP YOU WITH?

NO.

IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN HELP YOU WITH?

[ CHUCKLES ]

UH, NO.
NOT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

WELL, IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU WERE
LOOKING TO DO A LITTLE DIRT

ON THE PHONE THIS MORNING,
A LITTLE PRE-SEASON ACTION.

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU HEARD BUT, UH --
LOOK, LOOK, LOOK.

I AIN'T NO SNITCH,
IF THAT'S YOUR BEEF.

NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW
NOTHING,

ESPECIALLY
IF THERE'S ROOM IN IT

FOR A KID
WHO NEEDS TO MAKE A BUCK.

[ INHALES DEEPLY ]

I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK

YOU MIGHT BE JUST A TOUCH
OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE.

WELL, YOU COULD ASK ME
WHAT I GOT, THEN.

WHAT DO YOU GOT, THEN?
A COUPLE PLAYERS.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN BABIES.
I NEED BIG-TIME PLAYERS.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
PLATINUM.

YEAH, I GOT THEM.
NO JOKE.

WHO ARE THEY?

FRIENDS OF FRIENDS.

LOOK, YOU DON'T NEED TO MAKE OUT
WITH THEM OR WHATEVER,

I MEAN,
TAKE 'EM TO THE PROM.

YOU JUST SIT DOWN WITH THEM,
HAVE COFFEE.

YEAH. COFFEE.

[ CROWD CHEERS ]

Man: ALL RIGHT. YOU KNOW
WE'RE FROM DETROIT, RIGHT?

SO WE CAN'T BE BETTING
ON NO PUSS-ASS NEW ORLEANS TEAM.

WELL, IT'S NOT
ABOUT THE TEAM, RIGHT?

IT'S ABOUT THE POINTS.
WE KNOW HOW IT GOES.

WE'VE BEEN DEALING DIRT
SINCE WE WAS IN DIAPERS, MAN.

AIN'T THAT RIGHT,
MONOXIDE?
HOLLA AT YOUR BOY.

ALL RIGHT,
THINK OF IT THIS WAY.

WITH US, IF YOU GO
WITH NEW ORLEANS AND THEY WIN,

YOU STAND TO MAKE
AN EXTRA 5%.

NOW, WE'RE THE ONLY GUYS
IN TOWN THAT ARE GONNA --

HOLD ON. HE DON'T UNDERSTAND
NONE OF THAT.

JUST THE HARD NUMBERS.

NUMBERS. OKAY.
UH, I GOT SOME NOTES. HANG ON.

OKAY, LOOK. CINCINNATI'S AT,
WHAT, PLUS 6.5, RIGHT?

BUT IF YOU GO WITH
THEM YOU GOT TO LAY,
SAY, $115 TO WIN $100.

THAT'S 15%. NOW,
NEW ORLEANS BACKERS CAN
LAY $105 TO WIN $100.

THAT'S ONLY 5%, SO, IF YOU LAY,
SAY, 30 GRAND ON NEW ORLEANS,

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT $1,500,
AS OPPOSED TO $4,500.

EVERYWHERE ELSE
IT'S $110 ACROSS THE BOARD.

I MEAN, YOU WILL NOT FIND
A BETTER DEAL THAN THIS.

LOOK, YOU GO WITH NEW ORLEANS,
YOU JUST GOT TO MAKE SURE

CINCINNATI
AT A MAJOR DISADVANTAGE.

THEY GOT TO LOSE
BY SEVEN OR MORE.

GOT PEOPLE
ALL UP IN THROUGH THERE.

AIN'T THAT RIGHT,
PERNICIOUS?

UH, YEAH.

PERNICIOUS, I'M NOT SURE

I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT
ANY SHADY GOINGS-ON, OKAY?

THIS AIN'T SHADY.
THIS IS FAMILY.

FAMILY'S ALWAYS
GOT FAMILY'S BACK.

ALL RIGHT, SO, YOU IN?

BUT YOU NEVER FOLLOWED UP.

THIS IS MY FOLLOW-UP.
I'M DOING IT.

OH! WONDERFUL!

BRAD,
DID YOU HEAR THIS?

YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE
A SELF-STARTER!

YOU REMIND ME OF MYSELF.

AND IT'S CLEAR YOU'VE LEARNED
A HARD, HARD LESSON

ABOUT THE VALUE OF MONEY.

IN SPADES.

SO, TALK ME THROUGH IT
WITH VERVE.

HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED?

$5 MILLION.
POCKET CHANGE.

STARTING SMALL.
EQUITIES? BONDS?
PROPERTIES?

A MIX, REALLY.
CLIENTS?

A TRIO FROM DUBAI
ITCHING TO RISK.

I LOVE IT.

I'LL HAVE TO DISCUSS THIS
WITH MY MONEY PEOPLE, OF COURSE.

WELL, HERE'S THE THING.

THEY, UH...
THEY'VE GOT OTHER OFFERS

FROM MULTIPLE PEOPLE,

AND THEY NEED TO MAKE A DECISION
BY TOMORROW.

SUNDAY?

IMPOSSIBLE.

CAN'T DO IT. NO.

UH, VICTOR HARMON-CASTLE
CAN DO ANYTHING.

MOST THINGS.

HE CANNOT EXTRACT $5 MILLION
FROM HIS HEART-SHAPED BUTTOCKS.

I CAN'T LOSE THESE GUYS,
VICTOR.

CAN YOU DO A QUARTER
OF A MILLION UP FRONT?

I'LL WORK ON IT.

[ BEEPING ]

OH, WE DIDN'T
ORDER THIS.

COMPLIMENTS
OF MY FATHER.

OH, HEY. HOW ABOUT THAT?
THANK YOU, ICHIRO.

THANK YOU.

MORE FREE STUFF.
THAT'S WEIRD.

ISN'T THAT WEIRD?
HUH?

[ SIGHS ]

I THINK I GOT TO GO
TO THIS GARDEN BRUNCH TOMORROW.

PREGNANT HAILEY
IS HOSTING.
MM-HMM.

IS IT OKAY IF YOU DON'T COME?
IT MIGHT BE A LADY THING.

A BUNCH OF BROADS
ALL PERIODING TOGETHER?

NO THANKS.

I'LL JUST CATCH THE GAME
SOMEWHERE.
OKAY.

DO YOU THINK
I'M AN ASSHOLE?

MM. SURE?

SOMETIMES I JUST THINK
I'M A HUGE, JERKY BITCH.

LIKE, I HAVE TO WORK REALLY HARD
TO BE POLITE --

MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE.

WHAT BROUGHT THIS ON?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.
I'M JUST THINKING.

WELL, YOU ARE FRANK AND INCISIVE
AND HELLA GORGEOUS.

AND THAT'S A REALLY TOUGH
COMBO PLATTER

FOR MOST REGULAR PEOPLE.

ARE YOU GONNA EAT
YOUR DRAGON ROLL?

NO.

THEN I AM GONNA.

HEY, ANTHONY!

HEY. GOOD TO SEE YOU, PAL.
WHAT'S GOING ON, PAULIE?

MICHAEL,
GOOD TO SEE YOU.

HEY, TONY!

SO HE CAN WIN.

COME ON, YOU KNOW.
I MEAN, LET'S GET WITH IT.

HE'S DOING
WHAT HE NEEDS TO --

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]

YOU'RE A GOOD KID,
MARINO.

I MEAN, OTHER BOYS
NEVER WANT TO PLAY NO CARDS.

YOU KNOW, VIDEO GAMES THIS,
iPods THAT.

I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN,
YOU GUYS ARE GREAT.

I LOVE THE COMPANY.

BACK IN THE DAY, THERE WAS
A CARD GAME EVERY NIGHT.

YOUNG AND OLD,
ALL HOURS.

NO KIDDING.
HANG OUT ON THE STOOP,

TALKING TRASH, PLAY BALL,
THIS AND THAT.

JESUS.
YEAH, PUSHCARTS
WITH WATERMELONS.

AN AROMA
EVERY FEW BLOCKS.

[ CHUCKLES ]
I MISS THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD,
BOY. LET ME TELL YOU.

I'LL TELL YOU
SOMETHING ELSE.

I'M NO FAN
OF THIS NEW ELEMENT HERE.

WHAT YOU GUYS MISS
IS COMMUNITY.

I MEAN,
THESE NEW FOLKS COME IN,

THEY DON'T WANT TO TRASH
EVERYTHING.

I MEAN,
THEY NEED COMMUNITY, TOO.

KID, THEY'RE IN AND OUT
IN SIX MONTHS.

HOW DO YOU BUILD COMMUNITY
FROM THAT?

NOT ALL OF THEM.
I MEAN, SOME START FAMILIES.

SOME ACTUALLY
WANT TO BE A PART OF IT.

AND -- AND THEY HAVE MONEY.

THEY CAN HELP US.

OH, SURE THEY COULD.
BESIDES LEAVING?

[ LAUGHTER ]

WELL, I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
LET'S SAY ONE OF THEM CAME IN

WITH A BUNCH OF PEOPLE
IN HIS POCKET, YOU KNOW?

I MEAN RICH PEOPLE.

AND HE BOILED UP
AN OLD-FASHIONED NUMBERS RACKET,

YOU KNOW,
JUST LIKE BACK IN THE DAY.

EVERYONE GETS INVOLVED.

I MEAN, POSTAL WORKERS,
COLLEGE KIDS,

WALL STREET HACKS,
GUYS ON WELFARE.

YOU KNOW WHEN THOSE GUYS
CAME OVER FROM ITALY

AND THEY
STARTED RUNNING NUMBERS

THE SECOND
THEY GOT OFF THE BOAT?

THE COMMUNITY BUILT ITSELF.

IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.

YOUR OLD MAN DON'T KNOW
YOU'RE HERE, DOES HE?

NO.

WELL, THEN, GET OUT
BEFORE WE TELL HIM, HUH? GO.

COME ON.
I'M JUST TALKING.

GO.
FIND AN iPod FOR YOURSELF.

GO AHEAD. I MEAN IT.
I MEAN IT.

PLICHE.

TROUBLE.
TROUBLE, TROUBLE, TROUBLE.

I'M JUST FAT.

OH, MY GOD.
I'M SO SORRY.

THIS AFTERNOON, BY ANY CHANCE?

MY HUSBAND AND I,
WE WANT TO GET SOME SHOTS

WITH OUR 4-YEAR-OLD TWINS
WHILE I'M STILL PREGGERS.

I, UH, UH...I --

WE WANT IT TO BE VERY INFORMAL,

CHASING US

OR WHAT ABOUT

SO, WHAT DID WE MISS?

CINCINNATI Q.B. IS OUT.

APPARENTLY HE WAS
GETTING HIS CAR TOWED LAST NIGHT

IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE,
GOT INTO A SCRAP

WITH ONE OF THE TOWING GUYS,
BANGED HIM IN THE JAW.

NOT SURE
IF HE'S IN JAIL OR WHAT.

THANK YOU.

HEY, DID MY SON TELL YOU THAT HE
WAS CAPTAIN OF HIS MATH TEAM?

[ CHUCKLES ]
