"ALBA:" "Oh, my goodness, what kind of lady?" "Be good, Lila." "Oh, my God." "Huh?" "It's a funny thing, us keeping meeting like this." "Are you going into work now?" "Yeah." "What are you doing here?" "I was just walking by, for the past two hours, hoping you'd show up." "Oh, stalking?" "Okay." "No, I just wanted to see if you wanted to come get something to eat with me." "I have to work." "I have 20 minutes." "Just like..." "Twenty minutes?" "You're the first one here anyway, come on." "Remember, I've been here for a while." "So you want to go?" "Yeah?" "I have to be back, though, 'cause I work here." "I'll get you back, come on." "Twenty minutes." "Twenty minutes." "Like, you don't have to go if you don't want to go." "Twenty minutes." "Okay, let's go." "Twenty minutes." "If my boss calls me, I have to go." "Okay, let's go." "Thank you." "Here, let me get that for you." "Oh, okay." "I'll get you some sparkling water, okay?" "Okay, thanks." "Is that good?" "Yeah, yeah." "No, that's good." "So, is this okay for you?" "No, this is good, this is good." "This is..." "It's good?" "Okay." "I'm trying to figure out what I'm gonna eat." "I think I'm just gonna have a calamari." "Okay." "You know, I ain't that hungry." "WAITRESS:" "All right." "ZULAY:" "You're not hungry?" "No, not really." "Thank you, though." "I'm good." "So, that little girl in the car, that was your daughter?" "Yeah." "She seems sweet." "I saw the way she was looking at you." "Yeah, she's sweet." "What?" "I'm sorry." "There's a big pink thing coming down the road." "Yes." "That's pink bunny man." "You think that's funny?" "Wow." "That's a lot of bunnies right there." "(BOTH LAUGH)" "You want one of them things?" "No." "You know, I'm gonna go get you one, hold on a sec." "No." "He's really gonna go get one." "Excuse me, sir." "Can I get one of these bunnies?" "Yeah, right on, my man." "How much are they?" "$5." "$5?" "Here you go." "Thank you very much, sir." "You have a good day, okay?" "You too." "Excuse me." "Pink bunny." "Thank you." "You didn't want that thing, did you?" "My daughter's going to love this." "She thinks the guy's from outer space or something." "So what's her name?" "Lila." "Lila?" "That's a good name." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "Oh!" "That must be my boss." "I can't stay." "I can't be late for work again, so..." "Well, you just ordered." "Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm just late." "No, no, no, no." "This is our date." "This is our date." "Don't even worry about it, I'll wait for the check." "Date?" "Yeah, it's a date." "Date, okay." "All right, well..." "Yeah, get out of here." "Don't be late." "See you later." "Okay." "You're in a rush always." "Sorry, I know." "(MOUTHING)" "Here you go." "Thank you." "(DOOR CLOSES)" "Harv." "(CHUCKLES)" "What the hell is wrong with you?" "What is this?" "What happened to the whole, I don't know," ""be ready for business, business ready" thing, huh?" "When I'm not being chased out of the damn Bronx trying to hustle up you some money, I'll be a little more alert." "That ain't my fault." "In fact, they actually want you for another fight this Friday." "Are you up for that?" "Yeah." "How'd you do that?" "Well, I told you, I got my connections, you know." "It wasn't easy either." "How much this time?" "Well, that's what I want to talk to you about, but give me a second, I need to put my clothes on." "(CHUCKLES)" "It's about this guy you're about to go up against." "You know, I know you're a tough guy and everything, Shawn, but you're not going to beat him." "But he's gonna..." "Come on, I can handle myself." "I know you can, that's why, when he puts you in the choke move, you're gonna go to sleep, it's that easy." "What are you saying?" "I think you know what I'm saying." "No, I don't know what you're saying." "Sounds like you're saying you want me to throw it." "Well, whatever you want to call it, you know?" "We're gonna make some money, not like up in the Bronx." "You're complaining about that whole thing, right?" "No, I'm not losing." "I know you're not gonna lose, you're gonna do what I'm telling you to do." "I appreciate everything you did for me." "But, you know, the only way I'm going to lose is if somebody beats me." "Okay, then, whatever, let him beat you." "I'm serious." "Martinez came up to me, he said," ""You know, hey, if you go around with me, that's fine, man."" "I don't know." "What?" "You and Martinez what?" "What do you mean, "what"?" "I want to hear why, you know, you said, "Martinez..."" "I didn't say I was gonna do anything." "No, I want to know what you're gonna do, 'cause..." "I mean, here I'm trying to talk to you about making you some money, and, you know, nobody made anything up in the Bronx, right?" "You know that." "I know that." "I understand." "I know." "And you're gonna threaten me now, right?" "What?" "I'm not threatening you." "You're not threatening me?" "I take you off of a park bench, and you're going to threaten me in my house?" "Harvey, I ain't threatening you." "No, I know you're not threatening me, 'cause you know why?" "'Cause you're gonna get out of my house now, Shawn." "Look, hold on." "I'm sorry, okay?" "No." "No, no." "Get out of my house." "Grab your garbage and go." "Okay?" "Okay." "Hey, there, Ms. Florence." "Dog's got a demon in it." "Demons." "You know, I gave you a place to stay, Shawn, 'cause that's what you needed." "It was a place to stay, it didn't have any of this other stuff." "I understand that." "You saw that picture I showed you of Martinez and Jack and me?" "I didn't say I was gonna go with him." "I had a whole lot then, Shawn." "He broke my leg for $100." "That's crazy, right?" "$100." "All I was saying is, I wanted to win." "That's it, that's all I wanted." "It's funny, you lose one step in this game and everybody leaves you." "At one point, there was a whole lot of people that would put a whole lot of money on me." "You really think you can beat this kid, huh?" "I hear he's fierce, you know?" "'Cause if you lose, you get nothing." "You win, you get..." "You get $30,000." "Hmm." "Okay." "Okay, we'll do it." "(PEOPLE CHATTERING)" "(CLEARS THROAT)" "Hi." "Hey, sweetie." "Hi." "Hi."

"Let's get a drink, Harvey." "Aren't you going to have one?" "No, I don't want to." "Go, it's your night, have a good night." "Man, it's raining, come on." "I'm going to go home and count my money." "Leave me alone." "AJAX:" "All right, grandpa." "Don't get in no trouble." "I'm serious, though." "Come on, serious." "Come in, just have one." "I ain't got nothing, go." "Thanks for tonight." "(CHUCKLES)" "Thanks, Renee, I appreciate it." "Yes, sir." "(INDISTINCT)" "Please tell me you're not still putting money in your sock." "What'd your father used to call that?" "Niggerish, that's what it was, right?" "So this is who you hanging out with these days, Shawn?" "These your boys?" "Saw you step out your fancy stretch limousine there." "What, did you all pass around a hat to get that?" "Take up a collection?" "You know, the only enjoyment I got back in college, Shawn, was watching your asshole father humiliate your shit all over the place." "Really?"

"I mean, yeah, I know him." "How do you know him?" "Well, I don't, I just..." "People were talking about him at the club all night." "I guess he's a pro or something?" "What, does he fight?" "A boxer?" "Yeah, I mean, a couple, you know, the guys at the club or whatever, we just came back from this..." "You know, it's not a professional thing, but..." "Out in, like, you know, Korea land, we just came from a fight, too." "You know, it went pretty well." "So you're a fighter?" "No, I mean, yeah." "But not professional." "Just, you know..."

"I told you, if you like, anything I got, the tickets, the hats, the sneakers, you can sell those until I get you another fight, if that's what you want to do." "Go ahead, turn around." "Huh?" "You wanna get paid, right?" "Go ahead, man, get it, I ain't gonna rob you." "I know you're not gonna rob me, 'cause you're gonna turn around." "After tonight, you don't trust me?" "Okay, fine." "I've turned around." "This is me, all right?" "I've turned around, go ahead." "Thank you." "Mmm-hmm." "I've turned around, go." "I was with this girl from the club tonight." "Keep looking and you're going to be with her now." "You can turn around now." "Man, she got a daughter." "She's kind of having a little trouble with the rent, I think." "I kinda wanted to help her." "Stop smiling at me, I know what you're going to say." "Yeah, I bet..." "Why wouldn't I help her, then?" "Beyond the kid and the need for money..." "Why you gotta break everything down?" "That's your problem, man, you don't trust nobody." "(LAUGHING) Here you go." "I'm never trusting you, you and your suitcase." "(LAUGHING) My suitcase?" "Yeah, your suitcase don't trust nobody either." "There's $10,000 right here." "Yeah." "Nice, isn't it?" "I was right, wasn't I?" "Look, I just..."

"What do you want to talk about?" "Isn't there something you should be telling me?" "What are you talking about, Harvey?" "You're gonna make me say it?" "Why didn't you tell me that you were sleeping with him?" "Why couldn't you tell me that?" "'Cause I don't have to tell you everything." "That's why." "Now you want him paying your bills?" "I did not ask him to pay my bills." "Are you kidding me?" "You're bringing him around your daughter, you like him like that?" "What, you think he's better than me, right?" "No." "That's..." "You think you're better than me, that's why you fill his head with all this garbage." "About riding off into the sunset, like this is a movie or something, huh?" "No, no, come here I'm talking to you." "Don't touch me." "I'm talking to you." "Don't touch me." "Stop it." "If he decides to up and leave you tomorrow, you think you're part of his plans?" "You think your daughter is?" "Maybe." "What about your grandmother?" "You're always so paranoid." "Yeah, that's what I am, I'm paranoid." "I'm paranoid." "You still believe in fairy tales." "But you think I'm paranoid, okay." "Does he know how we met?" "You in the back seat, sleeping in your car, with your daughter in the front seat?" "Is that something to be paranoid about?" "Okay." "You think that little thing right here between your legs is gonna make everything okay, don't you?" "That's what you think." "It isn't." "You use that on him." "Don't put no more garbage in his head." "Yo, check this out, yo." "Check what out, this dirty-ass crib you got?" "There are bare wires laying around, man." "Clean this shit up." "When was the last time you cleaned this shit?" "RAY:" "Shut up, bro, I'm about to kick you out." "Evan Hailey KO's Richards." "It's your man from the club." "Z:" "This dude's corny." "No, check it."

"Z:" "Who is that?" "AJAX:" "That's that dude from the club, bro." "RAY:" "No, man, he's the real deal." "Yo, Shawn, no disrespect, man, he's fighting for real money in real venues." "Shawn over here bullshitting with us." "(HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING)" "Look at you, Harvey." "You know, you've been doing that for some time now." "It's called bi-polar or manic depressive."

"Listen, I didn't come here, you know, to take up a whole lot of your time." "I'm just here to tell you that if you've got something for Shawn..." "Look at little Harvey, he's like a little kid." "He's very excited, like he has a secret to share with us." "What's the secret, Harvey?" "I'm just saying, if you..." "If you got something for us, we're ready to go, you know." "He's the biggest draw in this town, and if you're ready for something, we're ready for it." "Wow." "It must be very hard for you to come in here and grovel in front of all of us here." "Especially Martinez." "You know, Jack, I don't have to stay here and take this from you." "Guess what, Harvey?" "We were talking about you and we said that maybe we should put your man in one of our fights." "A big fight. $100,000 to the winner, Harvey." "(MARTINEZ EXCLAIMS)" "MARTINEZ:" "Harvey's excited, huh, Harvey?" "You excited, Harvey?" "$100,000." "Evan Hailey's going to rock your boy's world." "Time out." "He couldn't wait to tell you that one." "See, this is the way it's going to be." "Evan Hailey versus Shawn MacArthur." "And we're going to play up this whole thing about how they went to the same school, you know, the education rivalry." "Rivalry for education." "(SCOFFS)" "Okay." "I know." "As soon as we get the word out, the phone's just going to ring off the hook." "We'll let both of you know." "Harvey, you sure you're ready for this, Harvey?" "Can't help but keep calling my name, huh?" "I don't know, Harvey, maybe I'm stupid, you know?" "But I'm not stupid enough to think that Shawn's going to win this." "That's stupid, Harvey." "Yeah, really." "Really?" "You just don't know how good he is, you know?" "Yeah, I do." "That's why I got Evan." "And the loser gets shit, Harvey." "And you still get shit." "Hey, man." "We need to take a walk and talk for a second." "Okay." "So you gonna tell me?" "Well, I got you another fight." "Yeah?" "How much?" "$100,000." "What?" "Yeah." "(BOTH LAUGHING)" "They want us to fight Evan Hailey." "He's your opponent." "Great." "I'm taking all my money and I'm placing it against us." "You ain't got no money." "You have any idea how much money" "I can raise for something like this?" "Then raise it and put it on us to win." "People like a guarantee, Shawn." "Then guarantee it." "You saw Jerry, those Wall Street guys, even Martinez would get in on this." "We're talking real money." "No, you're talking about money." "No, come on, Shawn." "What do you think, there's a trophy involved in all of this?" "Nobody cares about it." "And if we lose, you know we get nothing." "You get that, right?" "What?" "Come on, Shawn." "Look, all right, look..." "You think I don't understand that I'm nothing?" "I'm nothing, I get it." "I ain't worth nothing." "Nobody said anything like that." "I mean, come on." "All I'm saying is that I don't want to lose." "That's all I'm saying is I don't want to lose." "I'm telling you, Shawn..." "Look, I know it sounds stupid to you." "It's stupid." "But that's what I..." "I don't want to do it, so I won't." "Okay?" "Cut all that stuff, man, listen to me." "I mean it." "Listen, listen." "I'm talking to you." "Harvey." "What, you gonna hit me?" "No, I'm not gonna hit you..." "I'm sorry." "You think I'm your father?" "You're going to slap me around like I'm your father, huh?" "Okay, okay, I get it." "You think I don't know who you are, Shawn." "What?" "I know all about you." "I said, can the moral garbage with me, Shawn." "It don't work here." "Harvey, you don't ever talk about my father, okay?" "You gonna hit me?" "You don't ever talk about my father." "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "Hey." "So you came back." "You know me, the stalker." "You caught me taking a shower." "So, what are you doing here?" "Nothing, I was just..." "I don't know, just kinda wanted to see you." "Okay, well, come in." "My grandmother has Lila, so, come in." "I know it's really hot in here, so, if you want, just grab a seat and I'll be right back." "Hey, listen." "Look, I made some money and I kinda wanted to help you with the notice that I saw on the door the other day." "That's really..." "No..." "That's sweet, but..." "No." "For Lila." "No, I don't need it." "Listen, hold on, hold on." "Just for Lila." "Hold on a second." "Just, please, just listen." "I don't know what I'm trying to say..." "The last thing I want to do is upset you." "All I want... (SIGHS)" "You came in here offering me money." "Just don't..." "It's no big deal, okay?" "I don't know how to..." "(ZULAY EXHALING)" "ZULAY:" "What?" "SHAWN:" "Your hair smells good." "Thank you." "You know, when you wash your hair in the sink, they call it a Puerto Rican shower." "My grandfather used to hate when people called it that." "Of course, he can say it." "I like this, this is nice." "(STAMMERS) I know what happened with your dad." "Oh." "Is that okay?" "I read..." "Me and Lila were on the computer, and we just kinda stumbled across..." "Wow..." "I'm sorry..." "No..." "Checking up on me?" "That's all right." "It's okay?" "Yeah." "So you think I'm crazy now?" "(SIREN WAILING)" "No." "Well, I mean..." "You'd be right." "I mean, I did." "I went a little crazy, so..." "You know that guy Evan, the other night, at the club, you know, after the whole thing?" "Yeah." "We were on the same team and my dad coached us." "Man, he loved Evan." "I was a freshman, and they always used to mess with me." "And I just couldn't take it no more." "I kind of lost it." "(SIGHS) And me and Evan went at it." "And my dad got between us and I didn't even see him, you know." "I just kinda..." "I hit him." "I hit my father." "And I just didn't stop." "You know?" "I just couldn't stop." "My father never forgave me. 'Cause he shouldn't." "(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)" "I got to go get that." "Okay, I have to get going because I have to go do something at the club, I realized." "I'm sorry." "I have to go and do something at the club that I completely forgot about." "So..." "Okay..." "Please hurry up." "I'll walk you." "I'm hurrying." "We do have to go." "I'm sorry, I just..." "Okay." "I heard you the first time, I'm going, I'm going." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "I just forgot I had to go get this stuff done." "You okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine, why?" "Just wondering." "(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)" "You're good?" "Yeah." "Hey, Harvey." "Wait." "What?" "What's going on here?" "Um..." "I was going to tell you, I know Harvey." "Wait, hold on." "You all know each other?" "Yeah, I know her." "I know her." "(ZULAY STAMMERS)" "(HARVEY CHUCKLING)" "Listen..." "Wait, how do you know..." "I mean, how do you know each other?" "What's going on, 'cause, are you together or something?" "No." "Listen, Shawn..."
