Hoping to start anew, he pursues his ambitions to become a young entrepreneur by developing small businesses, purchasing real estate, and running an auto repair shop. Success seems to find him at every turn and after falling in love with the beautiful Aline (Delphine Chaneac), luck seems to be on his side.

Yeah, sure.

I'm Izek.

Hi.

Uh.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

Okay, so, let's see

what's going on here.

Yeah.

Ah...

So.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I can... I can take care

of this for you, no problem.

Yoni?

Yeah.

Didn't get your name.

what's your name?

Aline.

Nice accent.

Thank you.

Aline.

What's up, Romeo?

Hey, Yoni, can you open

this hood for me?

Yeah.

Take your time.

It'll take about half an

hour, something like that.

Oh, okay.

You want something

to drink, maybe?

Maybe.

Okay.

I know a place

with a great view.

Come with me.

It's not exactly

Mulholland Drive, but...

It'll do.

#oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, he

speaks the languages of love#

#Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, amore, Chiamami#

#Chiamami#

#Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

appelle-moi mon cherie#

#Appelle-moi#

Did you get her number

after that, or what?

What do you think?

I think you're turning

romantic on me.

Ah, look who's talking.

All right, brother.

Good night.

Sweet dreams.

Ah-ah!

You're going down.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You... down.

I felt like the luckiest guy in town.

Business was great,

my best friend was my partner,

and I just met the prettiest

girl I'd ever seen.

The American dream was so

close, I could taste it.

But, like I said,

one wrong turn can

change everything.

Micky Levine...

He was the perfect gangster.

Ruthless and without remorse.

Micky's Flunky, Vince,

handled the business with some

south-of-the-border help.

He wanted everything

the boss had and more.

#It's time you got to win#

#Lonely, lonely, lonely#

Any problems?

- No.

#Your spirit's sinking' down#

#You find you're not the only#

What?

#Stranger in this town#

When do you want to do this?

When do I want to do it?

Now.

Now. Does now sound good?

Sounds good to me.

Maybe f***ing Christmas. Moron.

#Headlines, deadlines

jamming your mind#

Nancy!

Nancy!

#You been stealing

shots from the side#

#Let your feelings go

for a ride#

Half naked all the time.

Can't you put something on?

I liked it. You liked it?

I did, but it's kind of weird, though.

I mean, would you do that?

Do what?

You know, go with an

older woman for money,

Uh, depends.

How much money we

talking about?

You look good tonight.

Thank you.

No problem.

You, too.

Thank you.

Nice building.

Ow!

Whoa!

Did it hurt?

No. In fact, it didn't hurt at all.

So, what, you were just faking?

No I...

I just...

You know, when I was

a little girl,

My Mom say I always

pretend I got hurt

when I fell down,

but that was more because

I was embarrassed.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, that makes sense all right.

If you're a big faker.

Come on, you faker, hop on.

#Oh, I could hide 'neath the winds#

I like this song.

#Of the bluebird as she sings#
