Goodbye Solo

Why are you laughing?

- I'm not laughing, just--

- No.

- But last time I thought--

- No.

You told me it would cost $200.

I'll give you a thousand

to take me there on October 20th.

But last time I was talking sh*t

because I thought you were talking sh*t.

I'm sorry, sir.

I apologize for my language.

Sorry about that.

I really never checked out the price.

I even forgot--

Yo, what up, player?.

Yeah, I'm just chillin' here, man.

North Side in an hour.

I got you.

Yo, big dawg,

let me call you back, all right?.

I'll call you right back. Peace.

So you're serious?.

It's my birthday today, man.

- What?.

- It's got to be my birthday.

A thousand dollars?.

That's a lot of money.

I don't give a sh*t if it's your birthday.

Can you do it or not?.

You said Blowing Rock, right?.

You want me to take you

two hours from here

on top of some mountain where

you're not meeting nobody,

and you don't want to come back.

- That's what you said, right?.

- I told you all this before.

I don't want to repeat myself to you

and every cabbie in Winston-Salem.

Yeah, but, big dawg,

this is kind of strange.

You got to give me that, right?.

You know?.

You want to talk about something?.

Forget it.

I'll call and get another driver.

- No, big dawg, no--

- Forget it.

I'm your driver. Come on.

I'm your driver, man.

Don't call the other drivers.

They're not good.

I'll telling you, they're not good.

Don't call them.

You know?. Just that--

What are you going to do there, anyway?.

Are you going to go camping?.

Are you going there to chill

with the trees and the birds?.

You like birds, big dawg?.

Are you going to fly away?.

You're not going to jump, right?.

You're not going to do that.

Tomorrow's going to be

a better day, you know?.

- You're just going to the movie now--

- How about a hundred-dollar deposit?.

The rest also in cash on October 20th

when you pick me up.

That's fine. That's cool.

Yo, big dawg!

Yo, William!

That's my cell phone, all right?.

Call me on this one.

Don't call the dispatch anymore.

It's for my preferred client, okay?.

Have a good night.

Marketplace Cinemas.

All right. Call me on Bobworth,

off of South Main Street.

All right. 6-4 out.

What's up, Ken?.

You want a cab?.

- All right. Thank you, ma'am.

- Morning, Pork Chop.

- Good morning, Solo.

- How are you doing?.

- Fine. And you?.

- I'm chillin'.

Listen. Remember the trip

you gave me yesterday

from the Crystal Towers Apartment

to the movie?.

If this guy calls again,

please give me that trip, all right?.

How am I supposed to know who's calling?.

His name is William.

You know, just ask.

I can't do it, and you know I can't.

- Come on, Cab 1.

- Come on, Pork Chop.

You know I'm not supposed

to give out trips like that.

A beautiful girl like you,

you can do whatever you want.

You're rocking this place, you know?.

Cab 1, give 1 641 B.

He's just a friend.

- You know what I'm saying?.

- 1 641 B, Lincoln.

Listen, when are we going to have

our steak at O'Charley's?.

- Steak at O'Charley's?.

- And a Tom Collins.

- Tom Collins?.

- Yeah.

Yo, Mamadou, thank you.

All right.

So you need a ride for the next trip?.

- No, I'm good. Thanks.

- All right.

Morning.

Solo, don't get in our bed

until you take a shower.

And your breakfast is in the fridge.

Bonjour again.

Bonjour again, Solo.

"Captain Abisha Slade had a slave--

"his name was Stephen--

"who produced the first

bright leaf tobacco in 1 839

in Caswell County."

That's right here.

"The farmer needed sandy soil,

and the Appalachian Piedmont has it."

- That's here.

- Bijou, can I see this, actually?.

No. What about my cell phone?.

You know what your mom said.

- Bye.

- You smell like smoke.

Cab number 7, Cab 7.

Hey, William, I thought

you were going to the movies.

- I am, and be careful with my stuff.

- With your luggages?.

- What's going on?.

- I sold my apartment.

You sold your apartment?.

What for?.

Moving into a motel.

I mean, is that all you have?.

Where's your stuff?.

Don't start your sh*t with me again.

Let's go.

I don't want to be late.

All right, big dawg.

I don't get it, man.

Isn't it better to go to a motel first,

drop off your luggages?.

Why am I with you again?.

How come it's always you

that picks me up?.

Because I'm your driver now.

You know what I'm saying?.

And anyway, I have this

I want to give back to you.

- What's this?.

- Come on, man.

Last time you were just upset,

so I saved it for you.

Are you stupid?.

Or you just don't understand English?.

We have a deal.

Would you just drive?.

All right. Okay.

Then you know what?.

Could you please call me

on my cell phone from now on?.

Because when you call the dispatch,

it's always a problem over there.

I don't really give a sh*t which one

of you people picks me up.

That's not really nice.

We're friends now.

I think I want to know why you want

to go out to that mountain.

Do you ask all your passengers

why they want to go places?.

Of course. Sometimes I do.

And when they're fine ladies,

I ask even more, man.

Especially when they have big booties.

You like big booties?.

I pick up a lot of big booties

here in this cab.

You like black women?.

I know this black woman, right?.

She's shaped like a bottle of soda.

I can hook you up.

William, you have family here, right?.

Why don't you move in with them?.
