Got a name?

Name was, uh... | Herman Gotlieb.

Yeah. I'm in the room | right now.

Coat's here, too.

Coat? What else?

Well, the bellman | also said...

the guy had | a hooker with him.

-A hooker? | -Yeah.

No lie?

I got an address on her.

An address?

Oh, man.

Got a pen handy there, | Hoke?

Give me the hooker's | address.

-Hi! | -Hey.

You showed up.

I brought you | a present.

Oh, really? | I got you one, too.

A present from a client.

Well, hey, I'm more | than a client.

"Sh*t happens when | you party naked!"

Look at us.

I was just gonna get you | the plain "Sh*t happens..."

but I thought you'd like | the "party naked" part.

Hey, that's the best part.

Hi. Um, circe salad, Noira. | It's real good, Junior.

Two.

Right away.

So, uh, Susie...

tell me how you wound up | living in Miami.

Oh, I got a job | at a Burger World...

up in Hollywood...

and I was gonna, you know...

save up and get | my own franchise...

but Pablo offered me | this job.

Well, it pays | a whole lot better.

This is a nice cup, Junior.

I'm gonna get a lot | of use out of this.

It's a good cup.

Hey, did you see | the swimmers?

That's why | I picked this place.

They do, like, | a water ballet.

Ballet in the water. | I like it.

'Cause I like | to swim myself.

I'd rather do that kind | of work, you know?

But you gotta train | for a long time.

So now I want to take | a Spanish course in college.

You know, in my business...

a lot of people don't | speak English...

so I think I'd | be better at it...

if I spoke...thank you.

We'll take | the check now.

Yes, sir.

You know, like, | well, Cuban, also.

And I think that's sort | of like Spanish...Cuban...

but it's | a little different.

This ice cream dressing | is sour as sh*t.

It's yogurt dressing, | not ice cream.

Where you been?

Oh, that's OK.

I never had | yogurt dressing...

up in Okeechobee.

Where is that?

That's where I'm from.

You heard | of Lake Okeechobee.

I'm from California.

I don't know sh*t | about Florida.

You ever heard | of Lake Tahoe?

Lake Tahoe?

How is it?

Lousy.

Who is he?

We're engaged.

Hey, separate checks.

My treat.

Good luck.

Hey, Susie...

we're not gonna be | calling it a night, are we?

I got a homework paper.

I gotta write a haiku | for English class.

I tell you what.

I'm real good | at making up things...

you know, poems. | I could come over.

I could help you | write your, uh...

Haiku?

Definitely.

Let's get out of here.

Thank you. I'm sorry. | I liked the food.

Bye.

So you think this | unidentified assailant...

who broke, uh...

Ravindra's finger | did it on purpose?

Sorry, uh...Ramba.

That's all right. Heh.
