or what?

Just for a couple weeks, till I can

save enough to get my own place.

GREG:
Just like Bob Zurowsky.

All your friends still living

at home, aren't they?

What a bunch of f***ing losers.

JIMMY:
F*** you!

GREG:
What's your problem?

JIMMY:
What's your problem, b*tch?

Don't kick my clothes!

-Don't f***ing judge me!

-Why don't you grow up!

STEPHANIE:
Stop it!

JIMMY:
It's him, not me!

I've fought guys bigger than you.

JIMMY:
F***ing punk.

STEPHANIE:
Stop it!

JIMMY:
Hey, Lily.

Hey, baby.

What are you still doing up?

You woke me up.

Yeah, I'm sorry, baby.

What'd I do?

JIMMY:
Go back to bed.

LIL Y:
Will you sing to me?

Yeah. Of course I will. Come on.

JIMMY:
[Singing] I know this girl

Her name is Lily

And it's past her bed

T-l-M-E

She goes to sleep

And she can just dream

And not have to be

In a stinky trailer with me

So when I feel blue

Don't know what to do

I look at you

And I just say

Good night, baby. Go to sleep.

STEPHANIE:
If you're going to live here,

you have to get along with Greg.

He started it.

STEPHANIE:
You can't f*** this up

for me, baby.

-You just can't.

-Whatever.

[Greg laughing at TV]

No milk.

Can I get a ride to work

in the morning?

Where's your car?

I left it for Janeane.

You're going to let me

borrow your car?

Nope.

It's your birthday present.

My birthday's not for two weeks.

I know.

But you're still

my little Rabbit, right?

I need to get to sleep.

Bunny! What up, doe?

Heard about you and Janeane.

-I thought you might be back home.

-This ain't my home.

Why you up so early?

Up, man? I ain't even been to bed.

I came to talk to you--

I don't got time to talk right now.

I'm late for work.

-Can you give me a ride?

-My ma's got the car.

JIMMY:
Don't tell nobody

I'm living back here, man.

WINK:
What happened last night?

I heard you got caught out.

People are saying f***ed up sh*t.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Why are you still going to

The Shelter?

There's nobody there but clowns

who ain't got deals and never will.

You need to stay at home.

You know Wink's got you.

-Whatever, man.

-I'm telling you, I'm on my way.

I'm taking you with me.

You're the franchise, baby.

-The franchise?

-Yeah.

I'm taking a f***ing bus to work.

Look, I was just on the horn

with my man Roy Darucher.

-The promo guy?

-Yeah.

Roy's all hooked up at 98.

So what's he need you for?

What's he need me for? Talent, dawg.

You know that's my specialty.

I'm the one

that tipped him on Big O...

and got that fat man out of

flipping burgers at Mickey D's.

Roy liked what he heard,

paid for the nigga's demo...

and boom, just like that,

Big O got a deal, all because of me.
