Now I'm with seven honeys

of which I can choose from.

(ALL LAUGHING)

DANIEL:
Oh, my God.

This guy understands me.

Well, it's simple.

I don't know

why God gave us 1O fingers,

because we's only gonna need three.

Get a goal. Get a plan.

And get up off your ass!

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)

Which one are you, playboy?

Me?

No, someone else sitting in your seat.

(PEOPLE CHUCKLING)

Come on, which one are you?

I'm a do-er?

Is that a question?

I'm a do-er.

What is this, Valentine's Day?

Say it like you want to hunt it, skin it

and mount its head on your wall!

- I'm a do-er!

- What?

- I'm a do-er!

-(YELLING) Yeah!

- I'm a do-er!

- Let's do it!

- I'm a do-er! I'm a do-er!

-(ALL CHEERING)

- ALL:
(CHANTING) Do-er!

- I'm a do-er!

- ALL:
Do-er! Do-er! Do-er!

- I'm a do-er!

I'm a do-er!

DANIEL:
He singled me out

and gave me my own

private training session.

I will make him proud.

- I wish I had a camera.

- All right.

Get the b*tches on the boat.

Okay? We got to go.

Get the b*tches on the boat.

We got to 9!

DANIEL:

I'm a do-er with a three-finger plan.

Finger one, find a guy with money.

Finger two,

make him give you everything he owns.

Finger three,

make America a better place.

Leave the guy broke and clueless

as to who made him that way.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

'Cause that's

some straight-up gangsta sh*t.

- Why do you want to do this?

-(SIGHS)

ADRIAN:
She's out of your league, bro.

Wow.

Adrian, you're f***ing magnificent.

You walked in that door,

you were 28% body fat,

you wanted to be six.

I gave you that.

You want to be two, I will give you that.

You deserve that.

You want to be a monument

to physical perfection?

You want to be a shrine?

You should be!

You wanted change, right?

All you got is change in that fanny pack.

Is that what you want?

(SIGHS)

When's the last time

you paid your rent when it was due?

When's the last time you took one of

those plump b*tches out to dinner

and didn't sweat them ordering dessert?

You love those big b*tches.

And they love to eat.

It's okay. That's important!

But this being broke sh*t's

got to stop, man.

You need some money

to go with that body, man.

DANIEL:
Adrian loved the idea.

Hey, that guy wants a job.

Will you interview him?

But to implement a plan of this intensity,

we needed to secure another operative.

(GRUNTING)

Where'd you do your time, pal?

Up north.

Club Fed Correctional. White collar.

I learned a lot. It's all businessmen.

Hey, how many grams of protein

do you eat?

How you fixed for a job now?

(SIGHS) Well, it's not good.

It's kind of hard when you got a record.

I know.

It doesn't feel real good

when Mickey D's tells you
