You got 100 bucks?

You got 50?

All right, you got five bucks?

Then you're wasting my time.

- Good-bye.

- I'll get it.

The crazy things

men will do for love.

Let me see her.

I can't.

Considerate it an incentive

to bring me the money.

All right, fine.

Okay, just don't do

anything to her till I...

look, now you're trying to

tell me how to run my business.

I can't let a valuable commodity

sit around like that unused.

It's called appreciation

of value, frank.

You really should take

an economics class.

If you want your girlfriend's

integrity to be saved,

then it might behoove you

to give me the money quick,

like a bunny.

If she's anything

like her mother,

she'll fetch a pretty penny.

You f***ing son...

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

you didn't know.

Patty was a frequent customer.

Daughter of a prostitute has a

certain ring to it, doesn't it?

Bring me the money, frank,

and she's all yours.

If you fail, she's all mine.

Tick tock.

Compliments on the suit.

You'll get used to it.

Just leave me alone.

Honey, if you wanna

survive around here,

you're gonna need

to make a friend or two.

Nicoletta.

Been here since I was 19.

See that b*tch over there?

You give her any problems,

you're sent straight

to the front lines.

I take it you didn't

come here by choice.

My father owes a lot

of money to Dom Fertelli,

but he's dead.

No sh*t.

Well, I came here by choice.

I wanted to put my sister

through college.

Just seemed so easy.

Four years later

I'm still here turning tricks.

So why don't you just leave?

Honey, if you try

getting out of these walls,

They'll get you.

They have something on us.

They have something

on all of us.

Damn, look,

I can't make $500 in a week.

How am I supposed

to come up with 75 grand?

I mean, do you think

maybe he was bluffing

- about the whole cop thing?

- I doubt it.

Guys like that always got

a guy like Dudley smith

looking out for them, otherwise

they'd have been busted.

Dudley smith?

Come on, man,

it's a movie reference.

You're a Stoner, for god's sake,

yeah, but I'm a video game

Stoner, Simon,

that is like a whole different breed

altogether. You know, entirely, just...

- bro, wait.

- Wait?

I might be able to know somebody

that can get you the money.

And you were waiting

to tell me this when?

I mean, the weed man,

it kicked in.

- Made me think.

- Yeah, okay.

- Then tell me, tell me...

- and the video game-

mm, but, I don't know, man.

Tell me, Simon.

Look, he's called the kid.

I ain't messing with no

kid, Simon, are you crazy?

No, not a kid.

- The kid.

- The kid?

Yeah, he's some

kind of man-child,

so everybody calls him the kid.
