I got a man really

beaten me up, ok

It wasn't my fault

Are you ok?

But it's cool now

It's cool

I was thinking...

You know I want you to

stay a little longer

Cause I can't

Why not?

Cause I told you

I promised my dad

Well, he's your dad right,

wouldn't he understand

So I'm sure he can save

your soul a week from now, right?

See, I told you...

no problem right?

I was gonna use it to take you

out tonight, but...

That's enough to rent

a hotel for whole week

We can party, hang out,

whatever you wanna do, you know

Maybe I can come back

No, you can't come back

Cause I'll be gone

Listen to me,

This is a once in a life

time opportunity

Give me a week, I'm gonna go

later I'll buy you f***ing ticket

I'll take you there

myself, just give me a week

You'll never meet someone

like me again

Ok

- Alright

Where did you get this car?

I just borrowed it

So what do we do now?

Whatever?

Cheers

- Cheers

It's getting late

Oh My God Selby!

We thought you were dead

Donna, I'm sorry,

I just came and get some stuff

No, honey, you are gonna

talk to your father

You stand right here!

John, yes she's back

She's here

Ok, hang on, hang on

Talk to your dad

Hello?

I found a roommate and...

I can't dad

I'm not even staying

here anymore

I just came by to pick up some stuff,

I'm not even staying at Donna's anymore

Ok.. ok.. I'm an adult now,

I'm gonna stay...

And I gotta go

What are you doing?

She's not even... gay

She's just some old street

hooker, she's just using you

I quit

What?

What're your bags doing here?

I'm staying

Holy sh*t girl, you just

made my day

How did you get them huh?

I took a cab

But Leen, you can take care

of me right? cause...

I've spent all our money

It don't even matter

What you said?

You quit?

Hooking... I quit hooking

Why?

Why? because it's sh*t, it's time man,

I f***ing hate it

I thought you said

it wasn't that bad

Oh.. it is, you know, but,

not always, it's not the point

I got you now

I got everything going for me

So I'm gonna do a broil

This time I'm doing

it a broil

How about that?

Fine, but what are you

gonna do about work?

Exactly... I'll get a job

Go clean... straighten up, you know,

f*** it, man, I'll get a career

House, car... you know,

how about that

What kind of job are

you gonna get?

I've been thinking

about that

I was thinking maybe like

a veterinarian, you know

Cos I f***ing love animals,

you know

Yeah...

But that's a doctor...

you gotta get a degree for that

No, I'm not, no

Sh*t, I know, you know

what I always wanted to be?

What?

President of the US

I just haven't been feeling too good

lately, you know

But I will though, man
