He has a good track record,|so just go with him.

Fine. Mars needs|a little bit of Venus.

If I'm going to sleep|in a spook house...

...surround me with chicks|more scared than me.

Speaking of which...

Why would you say that|about my sister, man?

- Oh, sh*t.|- Look who I found.

What? Tia.

That's the nastiest dog|I ever seen.

He's not as ugly|as some people I know.

Anyway, I'm naming him Bones.

Bones?

Let's go get the stuff|we need and bring it back.

Hell, no!

What do you care, then?

I'll tell you something, boy.|Shoot that dog.

Whatever you say, sir.

I think it's nappy time.

Come on, Bones.

Tia, put him in the back.

Don't feed that dog!

What the hell's wrong|with you?

Some holes can't be filled...

...and some hunger|can't be satisfied.

Some people need to stagger|their medication.

I'm serious!|He'll only get hungrier.

Come on, Cynthia.

Y'all people|really don't like dogs.

Ma'am, you need any help|with those bags?

No, thank you.

Really, let us help.

We just moved|into the neighborhood.

We're going to be neighbors.

Let me help you out.

You moved onto this block?

Not really to live,|but to play.

See, I'm a DJ, right?

In that building?

It's going to be le hot sh*t.

Pardon my Francais.

We're making it a dance club.

Nah, but they will be.|They're the best.

How do you know?

- I manage them.|- It's us.

And you bought that building?

Wait a minute.|You look a little familiar.

Are you sure|you're not from around here?

I was born near here...

...but after my mom died,|Dad moved to South.

I grew up in Rossmore Park.

You're a little dark|to grow up in Rossmore Park.

Yo, she's fine.

I guess this is not|Rossmore Park, but...

...thanks for the help.

Hey, anytime.

Here.

I guess|I'll be seeing you, then.

Adam Simon

Adam Simon (born February 6, 1962) is an American director, producer, and screenwriter. His directing credits include Brain Dead (1990), Body Chemistry II: The Voice of a Stranger (1992), and Carnosaur (1993). Simon, along with producer Brannon Braga, co-created the television series Salem. As a screenwriter, Simon is known for Bones (2001), and The Haunting in Connecticut (2009). He plays a humorous version of himself, pitching a project and getting barred from the studio lot in the famous opening-shot of Robert Altman's The Player (1992). He previously appeared, thinly veiled, as a fictional character in Christopher Guest's film The Big Picture (1989) and would reappear in Kim Newman's novel Johnny Alucard (2013), where he again pitches a project and becomes the only person in Hollywood standing up to a particularly sinister studio executive.Kim Newman has noted that Adam Simon has "become one of the most oft-cited figures in contemporary Hollywood satire, and those in the know have begun to play the game of Simon-spotting. [...] Remarkable look- and act-alikes for Adam Simon have appeared in a couple of sinister Hollywood satires: Adam Rafkin (Jarrad Paul) on the cancelled-too-soon TV series Action, who ruins his emotional and physical health on successive drafts of Beverly Hills Gun Club for sleazy überproducer Peter Dragon (Jay Mohr); and Adam Kesher (Justin Theroux) in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, who finds his entire life - and film project - jeopardised when he considers going against the wishes of backers who represent either organised crime or Hell." more…
