-Don't tell me you got in the car.

-You didn't get in the car?

-No.

I threw the keys away, and he ran off.

Lowlife scum. Scum of the earth.

I'll tell you,

it was smart not to get in the car.

I knew I wasn't going to get into the car.

Definitely smart not to get in the car.

-What did he get?

-He didn't get anything.

I didn't have any money in my account.

Honey, Im sorry.

Im sorry.

Don't worry.

Its a good thing I took that money.

-You took the money?

-Yeah. Definitely the right move.

You mean you took my money?

What the hell is wrong with you?

I borrowed the card.

I had a crisis

with my bus bench advertisement.

What are you talking about?

I have a bus bench on Sunset

right near the gates of Bel Air,

big traffic flow area.

They're looking for an actor,

boom, they see me.

Jimmy, you stole my money.

"Stole" is a harsh word, honey.

I used it as an investment in us.

In us? In you, not in us!

The phone could ring any moment.

That could be the call.

Next thing you know, Im in a series.

Then we're living on the Westside.

Bam! It happens just like that.

We're on our way.

You don't have that bullshit job anymore.

Boom! We're on our way.

You took my money.

How could you take my money like that?

You know how strong I am as an actor.

Im bound to be recognized.

You really are a sick nut, you know that?

-Oh, yeah?

-Yeah.

"Ring, ring." Any moment.

Boom, we're on our way.

That money sits there at the gates of

Bel Air right now, gathering momentum!

It was a good thing,

and you should thank your lucky stars

that I got that money out

before that scumbag did.

How many times have I told you

not to go in my purse?

Don't ever go into my purse again.

Ever!

Kid...

I think it'd be a good idea

if you'd hand over your gun.

You want to look for this guy?

You think you could recognize him?

What?

I say you think you could recognize him?

I want to look for this guy.

Ill kill the motherf***er

if I find him, trying to take your money.

Please just spare me this, will you?

Why? You think Im kidding? Huh?

You think Im fooling around?

Yeah? Im fooling around?

See this? I find him, Ill put him away.

-What are you doing with a gun?

-Lowlife scum.

Jesus Christ!

Are you crazy?

Blanks.

William gave me the gun and the blanks.

That's a smart idea. A gun with blanks.

Its all an illusion. That's all it is.

Put that away, please.

You make me nervous with that thing.

That's the whole point.

That's the whole point.

That's the point Im trying to make.

You made it for me.

It frightens you. See?

A guy terrified you today with a gun.

Its terrible.

It was terrifying, right?

A guy pulled a gun on you.
