Wow.

Can I at least

talk to him?

Roger, the kid is nine

years old, all right?

His dad just got shot

in the heart, all right?

Don't you think he's

been through enough?

Okay. Well...

are there any other kids?

No. No, man.

This is the third time

this has happened.

I mean, maybe it's time to

stop chasing rainbows, buddy.

All right. Okay.

- Sorry, man.

- No.

Take it easy.

Oh, sorry.

You have to take

your hand off.

Okay, go. Take it. No.

Take your hand off.

Roger, just stand away

for one second.

Okay, the buzzer...

G- Go now.

Hey, Roger!

Hold up, man.

Listen, I know...

Are you... crying?

I'm sorry.

It's not just Wally,

it's... everything.

- He's crying.

- Mac!

It's all right, man,

it's... it's okay, it's...

Uh, yeah. Shh.

All right, man.

Listen...

Okay. Listen.

Listen, man.

I know this guy,

all right?

And he, uh...

he runs this thing.

I think it'd be

a big help for you.

What do you mean?

What kind of thing?

Look, here, just call

this number, all right?

But you didn't

get it from me.

I don't understand.

Look, Roger, I...

I used to be like...

you, you know?

But look at me now, man.

I run this entire place.

I'm dating two

different Asian chicks.

You want things to change?

Call the number and

follow the instructions.

I got to go.

Call it... or burn it.

Hey, Perkins, what the

f*** did I tell you?

Get inside and

get your pudding.

MAN:

Hello.

Hi, I'm calling about...

For new student registration,

please press one.

I- Is this a recording?

Just press it.

Hello?

Just press the damn button,

you a**hole.

Uh, I think I have

the wrong number. Sorry.

Hello?

Congratulations, you're

already my worst student.

Who gave you this number?

Uh, I have to go.

Hey, relax.

I'm here to help, okay?

Now, who gave you the number?

His name is Ian Winsky.

Do you always rat out

your friends that quickly?

- That says a lot about you.

- I wasn't ratting out...

Would you not interrupt

me for five seconds?

Open your goddamned ears.

I'm sorry.

We got a new class

starting this Tuesday.

Registration is $5,000,

cash only,

in a plain manila envelope.

No talking.

Listen up, 'cause I will not

be repeating this again.

When entering

this building,

you will talk or

speak to no one.

If some a**hole wants to talk about his

goddamn French test,

- Understood?

- Yeah. -Yes.

Envelopes.

Manila.
