Do they cook the turkey

with lard?

Let me through!

Watch out! Watch out!

Pardon me, excuse me, pardon me!

(YELLS)

Come on! Let's go! Let's go!

Come on! Come on! Whoo!

Going into the stretch! Whoo!

I did bust your ass, boy.

I told you, you can't f***

with this boy in this wheelchair.

See, man, that's one of

the advantages to being crippled.

Oh, get the f*** out of here.

Hey, f***ing...

You've been in County

too long, King.

How you doing?

Hey, what's up, baby?

Hey, you're looking good.

Staying out of trouble, man?

Oh, I'm trying.

Let's get off

this street corner.

(COUGHING) Hey, you got a smoke?

Yeah, you need one.

MANNY:

So how was it up in County, man?

What, did you read a couple of books?

Yeah.

Did you lift some weights?

Yeah, a little bit.

You suck some d*cks?

Now, come on.

It's great having you back

though, man.

Yeah, you're looking good.

You still a ugly

motherf***er, though.

KING:

Drugs is the toughest habit.

And friends.

Friends are tough to keep too.

Hmm.

I don't know.

What do you think?

Do you want

to tell me something?

You want to tell me

some kind of little...

A little something about your day?

A little titbit?

A little titbit about you.

About your day.

Well, I'm just...

I'm looking to get out of here

and hook up.

You all right?

Yeah.

Don't be a puss.

F*** you.

Okay, man. You gonna crash

with us in the hole tonight?

We saved your clothes and sh*t.

KING:
No, I was gonna look

for Devon, maybe get some.

Has anybody seen her?

No, man, I ain't seen her.

What do you mean?

I mean, I ain't seen her, man.

Well, what in the f***,

you guys?! Goddamn!

I told you to watch out

for my lady.

And... So, what, is that

too much to ask, or what?

All right, look, King, man, last time we

seen her, she was with that kid, Tommy Ray.

I think she's in his stable.

You've seen Devon

with Tommy Ray?

Yeah, she started swinging with him

when you got locked up.

Just out of curiosity,

were you gonna tell me?

Yeah.

Yeah? When?

I don't know.

Thank God you're back.

Hey, Brenda.

Who are you?

Heather.

KING:
You just get here?

Two days ago.

BRENDA:
She's from Chicago.

Trip out. Me too.

Bullshit, you're from Phoenix.

Brenda, you know, the next time I want

you to open your mouth, I'll point at you.

Why don't you sit down.

You're making me nervous.

I'm King.

King? As in what,

Burger?

He's the one I told you about.

Yeah, I bet you did.

Hey, y'all, I was thinking of maybe

going and doing a little train hopping.

Yeah.

How'd that be?

Cool.

Greg's got some speed, don't you?

I was thinking maybe we'd get

some pot and some mushrooms.

Let's get all f***ed up.
