I like you.

That boy was just warming

up last time round.

We're gonna bulk him up

and keep that secret weapon healthy.

Well, we'll see about that.

In the due course of time,

and by the good Lord's will,

we'll try and find an

answer to your inquiries.

But right about now I'm just

concerned about keeping...

Ricky Brown healthy and happy.

When the time's right I'll

apply the right kind of pressure,

provided, however,

the right kind of pressure...

is applied to old Bo.

Come on now, that

would not be civilized,

nor would it be discreet.

I cannot be the one to put

a price on that boy's head.

Besides, I'm sure you have

a pretty good idea...

what it would take for

old Bo to orchestrate...

a choice that might

benefit the future glory...

of your little old college.

Well, that there is

an interesting start.

We'll just let you sit on it,

see if that little seed...

you just planted grows into

a big old money tree.

Uh, that's right.

Bye for now.

Bo here.

Well, my-my-my, when it

rains it sure does pour.

Competition sure

is hottin' up.

When I was a kid,

I wanted to be a nun.

Really.

But I always wanted

children, too.

Can you just tell me one thing?

Did God make this happen?

Make what happen?

Oh yeah, sure.

My bad.

- Pardon.

- Please.

- Please what?

- Please.

- Please what?

- Please.

John, please look at me.

John...

John, it's okay.

I can't.

Okay?

I can't.

This is crazy.

This is my life.

And mine.

Stop it!

Damn, get away!

Hey, hey.

What's going...

What's going on?

Hey!

Come here.

Shh.

Shh. Shh.

Hey. Hey.

Come here. Shh.

You like eggs?

Umm...

Yes, ma'am.

Coffee?

I guess.

You can sit down.

Oh, thank you.

Sleep well?

I think so.

So, you wanna

tell me about it?

About what?

Last night.

Ma'am, I'm sorry,

I just don't remember.

Okay.

Will you play for me?

You know where to find me.

Mm-hmm.

Bye.

- Can I be next?

- I am next.

- I'm a big tipper.

- That's not fair.

That is just not fair.

That is not fair.

Now I...

Keep that sh*t down!

Boy, get your Goddamn

hands off of her!

I told you this ain't

no place for a man!

You little sissy!

Little f***ing sissy, huh?

Hello.

Hello.

Hey. Hi.

You're John's friend.

I guess.

Thinking about a facial?

Oh, no, ma'am.

Just thinking about my mama.

I'm Rosie.

I'm Ricky.

John and I come

from the same town.

I'm just passing through.

I didn't have an invitation.

Even better.

A nice surprise.

- You're French, right?

- Do you speak French?

I know, like, five things to say.

That's good.

Better than nothing, right?

Exactly.

- You speak French well.

- Thanks.

My mom tries to teach

herself languages.

- She's in the beauty business.
