I'm good. Just trying to keep up.

Cam. Is that short for Camaro?

Shut... You have a learning disability, dude.

Excuse him.

- Where you from?

- Queens.

- Play any sports in high school?

- Nah, I barely went.

I tried baseball once,

did some martial arts.

Yeah, I wasn't much of a jock

in high school either.

Look at you. Hello.

Where'd you do your time?

It's okay. You're not the only one

in here with a record.

- Abbot House. Hillside.

- Juvi.

Yeah.

Did six months in Otisville

a couple years ago.

Oh, sh*t, what for?

B & E. Boosting cars.

Just bullshit stuff.

You ever go in hard? Pull some hold ups?

No. I didn't want to go that way.

Right. So, what'd you do for money?

I'm a bike messenger.

Fifty points for the bike messenger.

What do you guys deliver?

Documents. Just business stuff.

At least, that's what they tell you.

I don't know. I mean,

they hand me a package, I drop it off.

- Sure, but it could be anything, right?

- I guess.

You never look inside the bag?

No.

Never?

- No. Why would I do that?

- Just curiosity.

- It's none of my business.

- But you're the one carrying the package.

Look, as long as after I drop it off

they pay me my money,

I don't really care

what's inside the bag.

So what do you guys do?

We do whatever we can not to get caught.

That looks like fun.

They are no limits, my friend.

Only plateaus.

Plateaus?

You've got to constantly push past

what you think you can do or you stay stuck.

I like that one. What else you got?

Well, how about this? This whole thing,

parkour, free running, tracing...

whatever you want to call it,

is just a state of mind.

Now the real obstacles are not out there.

They're in your head. Okay?

I don't know. Those obstacles

look pretty real to me.

Well, you're gonna have to start

seeing 'em differently.

Got it.

So look where the car isn't.

Exactly.

- So... how's that new bike treating you?

- It's good. Thanks again.

- Where is it?

- I... left it at home today.

Liar.

Somebody clipped it.

I didn't want to say anything.

It's all good. I get it.

You're one of those kind of people.

What kind of people is that?

Can't hang on to anything nice.

I guess I haven't had enough practice.

Don't worry about it.

I should've known better. I mean...

Next time I'll just take my wallet

and burn it.

Hey, Niks! Let's go!

You guys all work together?

See you around, Cam.

Good to meet you, Cam.

Don't let these guys get you in trouble.

Oh, sh*t!

Excuse me, is Jerry here?

Back there? Okay.

- Excuse me, Sir. Is Jerry here?

- You just missed him.

- Do you know when he'll be back?

- When he returns.

Okay.

Hey!

- What are you doing?

- Hey, Cam.
