An Act of War
1
Sanchez.
What's this kid's name again?
Hello.
Jacob?
Who's this?
Sweetie, it's me.
Mom?
You don't sound too good.
I'm okay, baby.
I'm just tired.
Yeah.
Hang in there, you'll be okay.
Has your brother been by lately?
- No.
- But I... I thought...
- I don't want him coming over here. No.
- I just...
No.
Ma, I gotta go to work.
Okay.
Ma, I'll come visit you
real soon.
Jacob.
Yeah.
I want you to know
how proud I am of you.
For everything you've done.
Get some sleep now.
I love you, sweetie.
I love you so much.
Everything all right, Jacob?
Everything's going okay by you?
You sure about that, son?
Yes, sir.
I'm late heading home.
If you need anything,
you let me know, all right?
Take care of yourself, son.
Well, Wednesday night
is my only night off, Frank.
I can't give you
another night off, Nicks.
I don't want another night off.
It's just that,
every day is the same.
I like it that way,
but Wednesday nights I gotta kinda reset.
And it throws me off
a little bit.
All right.
I'm gonna give you
Wednesday nights.
I'll move Tito to the day shift.
Thanks, Frank, I appreciate it.
You think I give a f*ck
about you?
I don't give a shit about you.
You're making my life easier.
Tito falls asleep
halfway through
At least with you,
I don't got to worry about that.
You don't fucking sleep.
Do I know you from somewhere?
Uh, um, no.
Am I confusing you
for someone else?
Do you know a guy named Pete?
Pete? No.
You mind if I sit down?
Did you know that marijuana
was the most commonly used
illegal drug
in the United States?
That a hundred million Americans
And, uh, twenty-five million have
smoked it within the last year?
I get it.
What?
Why you came over here.
I get it.
You get what?
You're, um...
You're a salesman.
Oh, no, no. No.
No, it's okay.
Look I...
That's not the reason why I came over here.
I really did think that, like,
uh, that I'd seen you somewhere before,
but I guess not.
Anyway, if you're looking
for a good time...
You know, I can...
You know I can get you anything.
Anything you need.
I'll keep that in mind, uh...
Oh, my name is,
my name is Marlon.
Jacob.
But, uh,
everyone calls me Nicks.
It's a pleasure
to meet you, Nicks.
Can I get you a cup of coffee
or something?
Oh, no.
Don't get me wrong, I would...
I would love to have
a cup of coffee but I...
I don't think
that's a good idea.
Why not?
With, um, the people here...
They don't...
They don't really
like me that much.
What do you mean
they don't like you?
Just forget it, man.
You know I'm afraid to ask
myself this question,
but I ask myself
this question sometimes.
You know, like,
if I owned this place,
would I want a person
like me to be in here?
I mean, look at me, man.
You know.
You know.
The way I comb my hair and
It is like...
I mean, can you blame them, really?
I mean...
You know?
Not everybody's like them.
Not me.
You know, there's some good left
in the world if you look for it.
I'm gonna end this thing
right now.
Is there anything
I can get for you, sir?
Yeah, there is actually.
I need a cup of coffee
for my friend.
Your friend?
Yeah, my friend.
He's my friend.
What's so hard to believe about that?
He's a nice guy.
Is there a problem with him sitting
and having a cup of coffee with me?
Well, of course not, sir.
Got you that goddamn coffee,
didn't we?
Sugar tits.
Marlon, I think you're the most
interesting person I've ever met.
Shit, I got to go.
