(People playing pool and the jukebox playing in the background)
Random chick: (placing glass down on the counter) You're not going to forget to call me tonight? (Walking away) J: Of course not. You'll have my full attention when I'm done doing what I have to do. Random chick: (looking back) OK, I picked up something special for you to unwrap later! J: I'm looking forward to it. Just give me a couple hours and be ready when I call. Random chick: Oh I will be! ... Random customer: Let me get.. Marie: Hold on, can't you see I'm talking. Coño! Marie: Why do they fall for your bullshit? J: It's not bullshit. She will have my undivided attention tonight. (laughing) Tomorrow's another story. Marie: I see. So how come you never tried giving me your undivided attention? J: You know I can't f**k with you! I have to see you damn near every day. Marie: What does that have to do with anything? J: You know what I'm about! I'm not trying to s**t where I eat. Marie: So if I didn't work her and I was just visiting, you would make time for me? J: (laughing) It depends on how long you are staying for. I have commitment issues. Marie: Boy you make no damn sense. You're f*****g retarded. J: Nah fo'real though, you still f*****g with Juan, right? Marie: Something like that. (smiling) What you scared of him? J: No temo a nadie! Marie: Así que ahora usted habla español! J: Only when I need to make a point. (Laughing) Marie: (rambling in really fast broken English and Spanish) J: Slow down you lost me like twenty syllables ago. Marie: Give me your hand. J: Que? Marie: Just give it to me. ( takes his hand and scratches her fingers in his palm ) Do you know what that means? J: (grinning) Yeah!! Girl you better stop playing. Marie: Who said I was playing? Random customer: Let me get.. J: She's closing down early tonight. (reaching in his pocket) Last rounds on me! Marie: And why am I doing that? J: (climbing over the bar) I'm changing my plans so I can see if you're really with it. (Marie taking orders and pouring drinks) Marie: But I thought... J: (placing his arms around her waist from behind) Just tell everybody you closing down early tonight. Marie: But... J: (whispering as he kisses her neck) I thought you weren't playing? Marie: (sighing) I'm not, but there's still people here. J: (unbuttoning her jean) I don't see anyone but you! Marie: mmm...(grinding her a*s against him) F**k... J: (rubbing her breast, shoulders, then belly) Your skin is so beautiful and soft... (sliding his hand in between her jeans and thong) Do you want me to stop? Marie: No. .... Los: Are you sure you want to do this? J: Yeah I've been thinking about it for a minute. Los: I can't believe you're going to stop. We getting money right now.

We walked down the boardwalk, stopped to eat and talked like we use to do. Jackie: What did he buy you? Renee: (laughing) Why do you think he brought me something? Jackie: Because eveytime he f***s up he buys you something. (Laughing) Renee: Earrings. But I didn't take any money from him. Jackie: Where are you at now? Renee: We stopped at a bar by the casino so he could talk to some people. Jackie: Was a Spanish girl named Marie there? Renee: Yeah, how did you know? Jackie: That foul mother f****r!!! Renee: Why? Jackie: That's the girl I heard he was f*****g with. Renee: I can tell she likes him but I know he wouldn't f**k with her. Jackie: And why is that? Renee: Because she's tall, ghetto and... Jackie: And what? Listen Chis and her boyfriend are real cool Renee: Chris? Jackie: Yes, Chris the one that use to hang with Keith. Renee: I just ran into him.

Jackie: Well her boyfriend messed up some money and... Renee: Drug money?? JaSun doesn't mess with drugs. Jackie: Renee come on, you really believe that gambling story he tells you. Like I said, her boyfriend Juan fucked up some money and Dre beat his a*s. Renee: So what does that have to do with JaSun. Jackie: Juan found out he was f*****g her and wasn't going to pay for the stuff Dre fronted him. Renee: So Dre gave Juan drugs, not JaSun? Jackie: Renee, Jasun sells drugs and cheats on you. You really don't see it? Renee: (crying) I know. I just didn't want to believe it. Jackie: Don't even cry over his stupid a*s. F**k him!! Renee: He's waiting for me know. He thinks I'm talking to my dad. I'll call you back when I get home. Jackie: ok. Stop crying and quit his cheating a*s. Renee: bye ... Marie: So girlfriend? J: Not right now Ma. Marie: Not right now!?? (really really fast Spanish)...f**k you!! (Walks away) Los: I tried to warn you. J: F**k it, I'll handle that along with that Dre s**t later. I told him to send Ty. Los: She's back. J: So I'll hit you later. Renee: You ready? J: Yeah we can wait out front. Renee: Nice meeting you. Los: You two be safe. Don't do anything I would. ... J: Just call me a cab!! Renee: Let me explain! J: Nah, l'm good! You've said enough! Renee: Don't be like that! You think this is easy for me? J: Obviously it is! What kind of fucked up reason is that!? We need space because we don't spend time together! Renee: Really? Would you rather I said it was because of all the other girls you have been f*****g with.. J: What other girls? Renee: Don't even try to play stupid! Everybody's telling me you're f*****g around with this b***h and that b***h.. J: Who the f**k is telling you that bullshit!? Renee: Stop!! You can't even be honest with me now. I know you fucked that b***h I meet tonight !! J: Who Marie? Please, why would I cheat on you with her? Renee: Because you're a f*****g dog!! (tears begin to flow) How many? J: How many what? Renee: How many of these stupid b*****s have you been f*****g with? J: WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Renee: STOP SCREAMING IN FRONT OF MY F*****G HOUSE! J: I'm sorry, stop accusing of s**t I didn't do. Renee: She called my house!! J: Who? Renee: That Puerto Rican b***h from the bar. I can't believe you introduced me to that b***h. What the f**k is wrong with you!? J: What is wrong with you? Why the f**k would I want you to meet some b***h I'm f*****g? That just sounds real f*****g stupi... Renee: I saw the way she was looking at you and the whole way home I kept hearing her voice in my head. I know that's the b***h that has been playing on my phone. J: Just because someone is calling you and saying s**t doesn't make it true. You know what I'm out here doing. I don't have time for these stupid b*****s. Renee: STOP F*****G LYING TO ME!! Stop lying and admit it. You like f*****g around with stupid b*****s and buying them s**t.
