Not so close to the water!

Joey La Torre, you son of a--

Hey, hey, what are you doing?

What is this?

What--hey!

Hey-lo?

Manny, get out of there.

But I'm just

a couple minutes away.

Wherever you're at,

turn around, okay?

What about Florida?

We're going to Florida.

Just get out of there.

Oh!

They got me, Johnny!

Not so close to the water!

Come on, Nicholas,

not so close to the water.

Time out, okay?

No.

- Hey, just a--

What?

It's John.

Don't hang up.

Hell, no.

Motherf***er, what time is it?

Morning or night?

- Morning.

Don't hang up, don't

hang up, don't hang up.

Ugh. John, can't this sh*t wait?

No, it's too hot.

I gotta do it today.

What, did you do a job

without a fence?

No, I had one--

Joey La Torre.

He turned on me,

killed Manny.

Why would he do that?

Doesn't sound like Joey.

Yeah, tell that to Manny.

All right, well,

how much do you need?

It's priceless.

What'd you get,

a Faberg egg

It's better than that.

How much do you need

to be willing to let go of it?

- 4

- What, am I high?

You're gonna be.

We can turn this into $10 million

in the street by tonight.

Then why didn't you ask for 10?

- 'Cause I'm up in it.

Why do you think I called

your stupid ass?

Hey, hey, show some respect.

It's gonna take some time.

I don't have time.

Well, make time, John.

Know your customer.

I mean, these motherfuckers

at 9:
00 in the morning

haven't come down

from their coke yet.

Listen, they see this sh*t,

they're gonna sober right up.

All right, give me 2 hours.

I'm gonna call you back in one.

Hey, I can't drop a deuce

in an hour!

I'm gonna call you back in one hour.

Tell me what you got.

I can't do that.

John, you gotta tell me what you got.

I'm gonna call you back in one hour!

Hey, John.

Hey. How ya doin'?

Good.

- Whiskey go with that beer?

You know it does.

You look rode hard

and put away wet.

My son called.

There you go.

Well, that's a good thing.

First thing

he says to me--

"I know you're

not coming."

I once told the kid

that if I ever made enough,

I'd move out there.

Phoenix.

What you gonna do?

I'm gonna go next week,

after I finish this job up.

Job? What job?

All I see of you,

you're like Tequila Tex

on your stool,

your trusty steed.

Yeehaw!

Uh, what kind of job?

What is it, anyway?

You could call it quality control.

Well, what the hell does that mean,

like, seeing if the teddy bear's

got both eyes?

Somebody wants

to buy something;

I tell 'em whether

it's a fake or not.

And... somebody pays you?

Leonard, you're a piece of work.

He almost fell into the lake!

Hello.

It's me.

If anyone calls, don't answer it.

Are you okay?
