"But now I'm off drugs, and I actually have a date, so I need the money, I really need the money." "Look, Cricket, I'm sure whatever street mongrel you're dating... she's into lemons, too, so you're good." "Goddamn it." "Goddamn you, you are the worst person ever."

" Look, I am not funny, and I'm sure as shit not cute." "Nobody put me up to this, okay?" "I like you." "I do, and" "I feel like we have more in common than you think." "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "Go behind some Dumpster and bang?" "I was kind of talking about that date." "Oh." "I'm into that." "There they are!" "Davy, Pops." "I met the most amazing girl." "I'm in love." "I'm in love!" "And I owe it all to you, Dad, for giving me a second chance." "Thank you." "Now, let's go in this meeting and show this guy that he is making the right choice investing in the Mara brothers!" "You missed it, asshole." "Huh?" "You missed it." "The meeting." "We lost the account." "Dad, I told you we couldn't trust him." "Goddamn it, Matt." "This was your chance." "Shit." "Okay." "Um, I'll talk to the guy." "I will make this right, okay?" "He's probably down by his car right now." "Carl Lewis couldn't catch him!" "I can." "Mr. Sanderson!" "Mr. Sanderson!" "Matthew Mara." "Did you just do a flip off that truck?" "Yes, sir." "That is how dedicated I am to keeping your business." "Now, look," "I know you have your reservations, but I'm asking you..." "give us a second chance." "I'm not giving you a second chance." "I made my decision." "It's final." "Okay." "Well, guess I'm gonna have to cut your heart out then." "What did you just say?" "I said I guess I'm gonna have to cut... your heart... out of your body." "You see, uh," "I'm from the streets." "And I'm about to poke you full of holes." "He'll do it!" "What?" "Well, th-that's great!" "What changed your mind, Tom?" "Uh, your son here made a compelling argument." "What?" "Oh." "Well, see, he's my boy." "We will not let you down," " Mr. Sanderson." " Uh, D-Davy," " don't push." "Uh," " Yes, sir." "Tom, let's discuss this." "Hey." "What?" "Maybe I misjudged you." "Maybe you're not... just some homeless junkie." "Maybe you're my brother." "Sorry I said that about Carl Lewis." " Belle." " Heard me comin', I guess." "I think I just saved the company." "Wow." "That's great news for you." "And probably bad news for me." "I'm running away." "I got to see the world." "I was wondering if you might want to come away with me." "I-I can't." "I mean, this is my life now." "Yeah." "I understand." "Well, I should go." "Hey, um... could you just help me with my necklace?" "I can never seem to get it off." "Sure." " Here." " No, I..." "I want you to keep it." "Something to remember me by." "Well, good-bye, Matthew." "Well, here's something to remember me by." "Jesus, Mary and Joseph, what are you doing?" "!" " What the hell are you doing?" " I'm making out" " with the woman I love." " What the hell are you talking about?" "That's Dad's dog." "You're making out with my dog!" "Dog?" "Oh, shit!" "Oh, no." "Maybe it's time to make a change." "Nah, I'm gonna smoke it." " I'm Cricket." " I'm Belle." " That's a nice name." " His shoes" " smell like rotten eggs." " Lemons." " Screw you guys!" " You smell his shoes?" "Huh." "He's gone." "Way to go, Rickety Cricket." "So, you did exactly what I thought you'd do, you goddamn street rat!" "Matt, Matt, goddamn it." "I gave you a shot." "You can't go around doing insane shit like kissing dogs." "You got to put all that nonsense behind you once and for all." "Now, this is my last and final offer." "You cut that bullshit out and come work with me, or you go back on the street and crawl back into that manure pile" "I found you in." "So, which is it?" "Huh?" " Hey-o!" " Oh, Cricket!" " Cricket!" " Hey, hey!" "Hey, you guys mind if I go in the bathroom and smoke some PCP?" " Smoke up, bud." " Yeah, absolutely, dude." " Do what you got to do, man." " You do you, bud." "You do you!"
