Dimitri's getting angry, man.

Yeah.

He can't cover up

your ass anymore.

Ray, we heard you had

some kind of trouble

in one of your clubs?

Yeah. Don't worry.

We took care of it.

I don't know

what I'm doing here.

You're dancing.

That's a matter of opinion.

Yeah.

This is not a negotiation.

You understand?

You wanna cut us off?

Dump us in the lurch, or what?

It's in the ditch.

The expression is in the ditch.

I don't care about

any f***in' expression.

You got it?

This is the way

we do things in the west.

Welcome to the free world.

F*** motherf***er free world.

Okay, Andre.

- F*** the free world.

- Yeah, and f*** you.

- No, f*** you!

- No, f*** you!

- F*** you, b*tch!

- F*** you, motherf***er.

- Boys, boys.

- Shut the f*** up.

How'd you lose your license?

I was operating on a patient,

and the patient died.

Was it your fault?

I was under the influence

of narcotics and amphetamines

at the time, so, yeah, you

could say it was my fault.

How long ago was it?

Ten months, five days...

What time is it now?

So how come

you're still stoned?

Yeah, we'll see who ends up

in the ditch, okay?

Okay.

Yeah, we've been through

wars before, Raymond.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Remember Afghanistan?

- Very bohemian.

- There's no place like home.

Yeah. Listen, doc.

Anything you ever need,

you call me, okay?

Anything. I'm a friend.

- I mean it.

- I believe you.

- Yeah.

- Good night, Claire.

Good night.

- Cyril check in?

- Yep.

Is he all right?

Better than that.

Is he happy?

Extremely f***in' happy.

What does that mean,

extremely f***in' happy?

Hey, nothin', baby. Nothin'.

What's with the doctor, ray?

What do you mean?

Do you like him,

or is he your friend?

Oh, has the doctor

inflamed you in some way

I should be concerned about?

No. I don't like you

telling people what we do.

Do you like the doctor, Claire?

No, I don't, Raymond.

- Do you trust him?

- No.

- Why not?

- Because he's damaged.

But we like that in a person.

A friend. Ray genuinely

liked me, but why?

I'm not sure. Maybe he saw

that I didn't judge him.

Who was I to judge anybody?

All I know is since I met him,

I been kidnapped,

taken to a laker game,

a Bulgarian go-go bar

with Russian gangsters,

and danced with Ray's

beautiful girlfriend, Claire.

Well, at least I wasn't bored.

Get us to a new hotel,

and bring me

we want to talk to you, man!

You weren't supposed

to f***in' shoot him.

What's the point of us

runnin' on bleedin' sand,

didn't he?

I'm really happy to see you.

I finally found something

I can do for you.

What's that?

I can make you a doctor again.

What do you got, a magic wand?

No. But I have a surprise.
