It's not making any kind of sense.

(SPOON):
Look at her. What if she f***ing dies?

Huh? What if she f***ing dies?

Allthe things we talked about.

The things we wanted to do...

We could even help some people.

And she f***ing dies getting high.

I don't want to go out like that, man.

No.

Ever felt that your luck's running out, man?

I mean...

Lately I've been feeling

like my luck's been running out.

Maybe Cookie OD'ing is some kind of sign.

I don't know. You know what I'm saying?

I'm kicking.

I'm kicking. Are you going to help me?

Get the f*** out of here.

I'm serious. I mean...

We don't even get high off the sh*t any more.

We just do it to keep from getting sick.

That sh*t ain't fun no more.

Gentlemen. I'm afraid your time is up.

- (STRETCH):
Let me think about it.

- (SPOON):
What's there to think about?

(SPOON):
Come on, we just do it. Make it

our New Year's resolution this year.

Stretch, I'm serious. I'm kicking

and I want you to do it with me.

Let me think about it.

OK. Brand-new 1,400-dollar video camera,

remarkably well-priced.

- 500 dollars, you can't beat that.

- (D-REPER):
500 dollars?

- OK, 400.

- (D-REPER):
F*** off, I'll give you 200.

- 200?

- (D-REPER):
OK, 100.

- 100?

- (D-REPER):
Or should I run over your foot?

Alright. But you know

this is f***ed-up, though?

(D-REPER):
All I've got is 83 and change.

You're giving me 83 dollars for

a 1,400-dollar camera? You're killing me here!

Where's the change? Give me the change.

(D-REPER):
F***ing junkie.

(STRETCH):
F*** you, your mama's a junkie.

(CAR ACCELERATING)

F***!

What did you say? My mama's a what?

You said some sh*t about my mama?

I said, ''Your mama's a junkie, b*tch!''

- I kicked the motherf***er.

- (SPOON):
Yeah.

I knocked the motherf***er out.

I didn't need you to hit the motherf***er.

I'd have kicked his punk ass.

Know what I'm ''sizaying''?

- Let go with that Pig Latin sh*t.

- It's Bop.

- Bop?

- Yeah, from bebop.

Take the first letter and put ''iz'' behind it.

Then you add the rest of the word.

Like ''saying'' will be ''sizaying''.

''Cool'' will be ''cizool''.

You know what I'm ''sizaying''?

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah.

Yeah, that's just cool

I'm writing some of that bop stuff.

Yeah, Cee-Cee's playing

at The Spotnext week.

- Why don't you come check it out?

- What night are you playing?

Wednesday and Thursday.

- I'll be there.

- Yeah, I'm there.

Why aren't you happy to f*** off

right now? Come on, I've got sh*t to do.

Yeah, go on and get your

little crazy ass out of here, man.

I've been listening to you

talking sh*t for an hour.

- I've got other customers coming.

- F*** you!

I've spent my money, I'll sit all day, n*gger.
