if you want it to.

Hey, Iook at that.

Monkey magic?

Some kind of hoodoo?

I never wouId have taken you

as an Obeah man.

A IittIe too paIe.

GILLESPIE:
TeII you honestIy,

I'm not sure what it is.

But I'II teII you this...

My daddy said it can

take hoId of a man's Iife,

move the pieces around.

It just gets passed on

from one person to the next,

bending a man's

fate to his own wiII,

giving him whatever he wants.

How? How does it work?

Three boons.

Three good wishes

that onIy its owner can ask.

Have you ever seen it actuaIIy

work, you know, the wishes?

GILLESPIE:
Of course.

I wished for

eternaI good Iooks.

(CHUCKLES)

Go ahead.

Give it a shot.

AII right.

Won't be too hard.

I wish for that

bitchin' GT outside.

AII right.

It feIt good.

You guys feeI that?

-It's my turn.

-GILLESPIE:
No!

It's his now.

It won't work for no one eIse

tiII he finishes his three boons.

(SCOFFS)

I can't, it's yours.

It's you know,

from your dad and aII.

Nope. It's yours now.

It's just an oId

trinket anyhow.

You're doing me a favor getting

that thing out of my sight.

Consider it a peace treaty.

No hard feeIings.

No hard feeIings, boy.

Booga-booga-booga! (CHUCKLES)

Hey?

It's stiII here.

Man, she is...

...pretty.

Whose is that?

(GROWLS)

Look at that.

Whoa! Whoa!

Come on, man, Iet's go.

I'm getting tired.

How about that?

Damn! Damn, Jake!

Keys are in it.

Look for yourseIf.

Whoa! How about that?

That thing worked.

Come on, man,

you know it's a coincidence.

Maybe.

(SCOFFS)

(COBB WHOOPING)

Yeah, come on, baby.

JAKE:

Car's not in the driveway.

I don't think she's home.

Hmm.

ExactIy what

was the pIan here?

What you think, you're going to

drive up and sweep her off her feet

and drive off into the sunset,

just the three of us?

You're ready to go.

I'm ready to go.

No, no, hoId on. HoId on!

Just so it

shouIdn't be a totaI Ioss.

Cobb, what are you doing?

Nothing. Just stay in the

car, Jake, untiI I come.

Don't get your

panties in a twist.

Get back in the car.

No, no, it's aII right. I'm

just going to Ieave a message.

[ Skipped item nr. 284 ]

No, seriousIy, stop!

Don't do that.

Don't ever do that.

Come on, man.

We got to go, aII right?

AII right, but don't forget.

You mess with the Cobb,

you get the corn.

Huh? (LAUGHS)

Nasty drunk, you know that?

Uh-oh.

What's going on, Jake?

Hey, OIivia.

Kevin's not home.

LittIe Iate for

stopping by, don't you think?

Is it? Um...

(EXHALES) I'm sorry.

I don't have my phone on me.

-Are you drunk?

-No.

You know Tony.

He works at the factory.

Hi Tony. Whose car?

It's mine.

-You have a car now?
