That's enough! He's had enough.

Whoo! Willie, you f***ing won! Ha!

Dude, I thought you were dead

for sure, motherf***er! Oh my...

You f***ing won, Willie!

Yo, pay him motherf***er.

Yeah, yeah. No problem.

None whatsoever.

Willie!

Ladies and gentlemen,

please put your hands together for Willie.

My main man, Willie the Cardboard Boxer!

Whoo! You get that?

Go, Willie!

Hey, man. You need some help?

- What?

- Here, let me push you.

Get the f*** off of me, man!

I got it.

Hey, do you know how to read cursive?

What?

Do you know how to read cursive?

Yeah, I know how

to read cursive, motherf***er.

Then if you read this,

I will push you up the hill.

You wanna read this?

I ain't readin' you sh*t!

- Hey! Don't do that!

- Get the f*** off of me!

You know where the pawn shop is?

Aha, you thought I was lying, right?

Whoa! Is that really him?

Yeah, it's President

of the United States, bro!

And me, you see that?

You believe that?

I'll show you something.

What! Purple Heart.

Wow!

You know what the President

said when he gave that to me?

He said, "I thank you on the behalf

"of the American people.

I thank you for your service.

You're a real life hero, Pinky."

"Pinky"?

Yeah, that's my nickname, son.

I told him. I was like,

"You call me anything, you call me Pinky."

Sh*t. Can you believe that, though?

You're pushing an honest-to-God

war hero, motherf***er.

Iraqi War hero.

Why did they call you "Pinky"?

Because I used to wear a f***ing

dope-ass pinky ring.

But I pawned that sh*t

just like I wanna pawn this sh*t.

Yo, take me in.

Are you out of your f***ing mind, sir?

That's a Purple Heart right there.

You ain't from America, though, are you?

Where you from, my man?

Pakistan.

Pakistan? F***ing figures. God!

They only give them to war heroes.

That's a Purple Heart, right there.

Understand it? To... to heroes!

I know what it is. I'll...

I'll give you $15.

My man you said 50 or 15?

Because I know you said 50. Come on.

- 15.

- 15?

Very few want to buy this.

It's... it's worthless.

It's f***ing not worthless, man.

It's my legs right there.

You... you want to...

you want to sell this to me or not?

F*** you, man.

Keep your money, bro.

I don't need your money.

Let's go, Willie.

Let's go. Let's go.

Yo, yo. Let me tell you something, my man.

This is me and the President

of the United States!

A country you living in right now.

Let me ask you something.

Who f***ing knows you, bro?

Nobody f***ing knows you.

Who knows you? Answer me.

No, nobody f***ing knows you.

F*** you.

Let's go, Willie. Nobody knows this guy.

You're lucky I don't come back here, bro.

This chicken looks okay.
