38,000.

No.

Yeah.

He came to me with 25,

had been on a good run.

I matched his 25.

Where the f***

did he get $25,000?

Now, that's a question

for him, isn't it?

If you can't get me my money,

I'm going to have to have a

different conversation with Samuel.

You and Donny

been getting along?

He seems disgruntled.

I'm sorry.

What'd you say?

Larry,

when I say something and you don't listen,

it makes me feel...

I don't know...

invisible.

No, you're the opposite

of invisible.

What are you doing here?

I didn't have

your cellphone number.

Um, this is Beckett.

This is Ms. Rose.

I should cover up.

Seems like most people

in this world

welcome company, but...

well, we aren't most people.

Who the hell is this?

I'm here to clean the pool.

He's just an old friend, Donny.

We were altar boys together.

You should go back

to being an altar boy,

'cause you did

a shitty job with the pool.

Why don't you boys, uh,

go polish your chalice or something

so I could focus

on my Rosie here

in our dirty, dirty little pool?

Donny.

We were just having a

conversation with my ma, Donny.

Now you're not, so scoot.

All right, Ma.

We're gonna head out.

It was nice to meet you,

Ms. Rose.

Maybe we can take

this up another time.

I don't see that happening,

as I rarely think of the past.

Okay.

Hey, what happened

to your eye, man?

Nothing.

So what's up?

It's another time.

What?

Where'd you get the cash, man?

That was Monopoly money.

I was just showing off.

It was real. Come on.

Heh. Stand in line.

There is no line, brother.

And you think I got

something for you?

I think you got a shiner,

and you ain't telling me sh*t.

I also think you need someone,

someone that's got your back.

I got enough trouble.

Come on, man.

We all got trouble.

Hey, how come you didn't tell me

your mom looks like a movie star?

'Cause she's my mom.

What?

She's always looked like a movie star.

Hey,

you want to get us some girls?

Why don't you get

your own girls?

'Cause they won't be as good as

the ones you get us, you scammer.

It's a two-way street.

All right.

She's really, really pretty,

I'll think about it.

Okay.

Yeah. First we need to get

you some new clothes, though.

My favorite shirt.

Where's Dad?

I don't know.

You should get some sleep.

Oh, I need some parts.

Don't look at me.

I'm not stealing any parts.

Come on.

Just the carburetor.

Out of my realm of expertise.

You're no help.

Get some sleep.

I don't know what

we're doing here,

but thank you for including me,

by the way.

Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Want to see a magic trick?

Why not?

All right, take this hundred.

Buy a pack of gum.

Bring me back the change.
