No. He just said it was 30 years ago.

That's it?.

No friends, no family?.

I already told you,

he didn't say anything else.

He seems cool.

I think he's fine.

Listen. Offer him a round on me, okay?.

Okay, babe.

Solo, when you finally

going to get that cab fixed?.

I got you.

I'm just waiting for this part, you know?.

Listen, man. I told you.

I got a connect in Maryland.

This girl done told him she got

a 725 on the credit score.

Says she can get us 20 Gs

for these cabs now.

I need you to put the drivers

in the car for me.

We could have this fire all around the town.

Have the whole city smoking good, cuz.

- I got a major supply coming in right now.

- It's from Solo.

Cheers, William!

Solo, are you hearing me?.

Yo, man!

You paying me any attention, cuz?.

I need you to get that cab fixed

so we can get this deal going on.

I got you, player.

I need to get my $20 back anyway.

Check this out.

That's what I'm talking about.

What you got?.

I'm going to hit me another.

All right, we'll see.

That's the first one you done hit all day.

William.

Come on, we're here.

Where?.

At my place.

What are we doing here?.

Big dawg, I couldn't

find a motel on the way here.

Why didn't you wake me up?.

I tried, but you wouldn't wake up.

You drank too much.

Big dawg, it's not a problem.

You got drunk, but we had

a good time, right?.

I get drunk all the time.

You know what I'm saying?.

Plus, we're already here, man.

Come on, let's go. All right?.

I'll find you a nice motel tomorrow,

I promise.

All right?.

Let's go, big dawg.

I got you.

You know what I'm saying?.

I'll get you a nice motel tomorrow.

No, don't worry about that.

Don't worry.

I got it, I got it.

Don't worry about it.

William, this is my wife's place.

- All right?.

No. Navani's my ex.

She doesn't exist here.

My wife's name is Quiera, okay?.

All right!

Keep your dick in your pants.

Okay. You know,

just making sure, that's all.

She's pregnant now,

and, you know,

You know what I mean?.

Really?. Wow.

I can't believe they did it

with their hands only.

No, but I would love to.
