Miles Ahead Page #4

---

Gotta give this little bird

a thing for my friend.

Won't take a minute.

- Hey, Frances.

- Hey, Buddy.

- This is for you.

- That's sweet.

- How you doing? That's good.

- I'm good.

So, you remember Phil, right?

Hey, Ana, let me... Let me get a 20 spot.

Sure, Miles.

- Hey, you know Phil.

- Well, thank you, Buddy.

Sure thing.

See you later.

Hi.

I'm Miles Davis.

I know. Frances Taylor.

Look.

This is my phone number.

Well, now you don't have to stare.

- Bye-bye.

- Bye.

Hello?

Miles, come watch me dance.

How about a little dark meat

for Thanksgiving?

Frances.

What are you doing?

Sh*t!

Hey, it's cool. I got you, man. Hey.

Let me drive.

Miles, Miles, look.

I should have told you what was up

right off the bat.

Miles.

Miles. Hey!

Look. Hey, listen.

I understand where you're coming from

with those guys upstairs.

It's never enough, right?

They suck you dry and they f*** you over.

Hey, listen.

Listen, listen, listen, listen.

F*** the interview. Let's get right.

I know what you need!

Let me get you right!

I probably shouldn't shout this next part.

I know this kid.

He gets it like... From the root.

It's not stepped on,

and we can go right now.

It's the best coke in the city.

You is a crazy white motherf***er,

you know that?

Yeah, I know.

So, where's it at?

Columbia.

We just left Columbia, motherf***er.

The other one, motherf***er.

I did a story on this kid's old man.

Big shot doctor,

he was into some crazy sh*t.

The point is, this rich little f***er's

really got the goods.

How much you holding?

Whatever's in that clip.

All right, just follow my lead.

Man, this better not be no bullshit.

Beat it.

What the f***...

- No. No.

- Hey, Justin. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Who the f*** are you to show up at my...

You know what

"off the record" means, a**hole?

You knew what was up with that.

You wanted to burn your old man, I helped.

So what?

- So what?

- Man, get on with it.

Yeah, come on in.

- All right, let's do this quickly.

- Wait, come here a sec.

What's going on?

- Why is he with you?

- Mate, mate...

- Right... Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.

- Yeah, yeah.

So, what can I do you for?

- Make it an eighth.

- A quarter.

Quarter? Yes, sir.

A quarter? We've only got 500 bucks.

That's your problem.

You want to sit down, Mr. Davis?

Yeah. Scoot over, girl.

What an honor.

You know who the f***'s sitting

next to you right now, Tami?

His sh*t is mind-blowing.

I mean, I've got the classics

right here, you know.

And not just yours.

I've got the whole original experience.

Blues. Gospel.

Black music, it's where it's at.

All right.

No, no. It's 800.

What?

It would be 600 bucks
