So how you guys doing?

We're fabulous.
How are you?

I'm fabulous
every day.

Driver:
Where you from?

- L.A.
- Wow.

We want to go
to Brooklyn tomorrow.

Are there dudes there?
That's what I need to know.

- Yeah, there are
lots of dudes.
- Whoop-whoop!

That don't mean it's gonna
be the ones that you want.

[ laughs ]

- So you here to just party
and check the dudes out?
- Yeah.

Somebody tall,
dark chocolate,

straight teeth
with a job, no kids.

[ laughs ]
Good luck.

So you left
your boyfriends home?

- I left my fiancé home.
- I don't have no man.
Brandy is a free agent.

My boyfriend wants me
to break up with him

so he must act
stupid right now.

Wait, free agent.

- No, no, no. Not me.
- I'm a free agent.

- She's married.
- I'm almost married.

She's married.
Free agent, free agent.

- Trying to be.
- Almost free agent.

I go by single.
Don't deem me as free agent.

I'm not necessarily looking.
It's gonna find me
when it finds me.

I'm almost
a free agent.

I'm a free agent 'cause
I'm looking to have fun.

I'm not trying to get married.
I want to just have fun.

That sounds like
you just want to have sex.

- No.
- f*ck it, why not?

You're looking for someone
to do something.

If it happens,
then...

- How about you?
- I'm just hanging out.

You know, if I meet
somebody, great.

If I don't,
I'm fine.

There's somebody
for everybody, though.

That's right.
But, you know, sometimes
when you go out there looking,

either you're not gonna find
what you're looking for

or you're gonna come up
with what you're not
supposed to be with.

- Oh, that is so true.
- You know, so it's kind
of like--

you know, I'm just
hanging out there.

I feel like he'll find me
when the time is right

and when he's
supposed to find me.

- That's good.
- 'Cause my boyfriend...

like, really,
we're about to
move in together

and everything just
changed last minute.

So what happened?

His daughter,
all of a sudden,

says that she doesn't
want me to move in.

- Driver: Wow.
- All of a sudden
after four years

of kicking it
with the little b*tch?
Yeah.

- How old is the daughter?
- 16!

Hey, tone it down.

- But she's about
ready to move out.
- ♪ Express yourself... ♪

- She's not out yet.
- ♪ Aw, do it. ♪

But all of a sudden--
I say all of a sudden

because I think
it's a jealousy thing,

if you really
want to know.

She might be scared
of a woman moving in.

- I think
it's a jealousy thing.
- It could be.

It's been her
and her dad forever.

That's why I said
she might be scared.

So I'm basically giving
him a couple of months
to get it together,

otherwise I'm about
to "bounce, rock, skate,"
'cause I don't have time.

Driver:
So do you date all kinds
of guys out there?

I date
all kinds of guys.

- I date outside my race.
- ♪ Pimping all over
the world... ♪

My boyfriend is outside
my race, actually.

- What's he?
- He's Mexican-American.

He was born
and raised in America.
[ laughs ]

One time some b*tch was like,
"Does he speak English?"

- I wanted to be like,
"b*tch, really?"
- Ooh!

sh*t, for real?
You should have slapped her.

Be like,
"b*tch, do you know
how to speak slap?"

- [ laughs ]
- "Five fingers to
the face, b*tch."

Have any of you guys
ever slept with a white guy?

Yes, my ex-boyfriend
was a white boy.

I am the only one
in the car

that has never stepped
out of the color line.

She needs to "taste
the rainbow."

White boys,
let me tell you,

I've slept
with my fair share
of white boys

and they do--
the myth is true.

- What myth is true?
- They do eat p*ssy.

Oh, I thought the myth
was that they were small.

That's what I thought
the myth was.

I'm all for the oral.
I'm all for the oral.

I'd rather get it
than give it.

- What?
- I love to suck d*ck.

I love
to suck d*ck.

Giving it
gives pleasure.

- It does.
- I'm a giver.

I'm sorry,
but I'm just like...
[ gagging ]

- [ laughing ]
- Okay.

So what's
the deal with you?

I'm not trying to get
emotionally involved.

You may not,
but it could happen.

I'm not trying
to get married,

I'm not trying
to have your babies.

- I'm just here
for the weekend.
- You never know, Brandy.

Eventually maybe that
would happen one day.

You know, I'm just
really not interested.

She doesn't know
what she's looking for.

Brandy, your mom
is waiting for a baby,
by the way...

My mama can wait.

- You can't plan emotions.
- No, you can't.

- My mama can wait.
- That's true.

You can start seeing
somebody and you think,

"Oh, it's just for fun.
We just gonna hang out."

And three months later
you can be like, "Damn,
I really like this guy."

True dat.
I'm not saying
never say never,

but I'm really guarded.
I'm cool.

- You're guarded?
- Yes, I'm really cool.

I just want to have fun.
Whatever happens, happens.

But what about
your sex life?

There is none.

- ♪ Wa-wa-wah... ♪
- Oh, you're on that.

- I'm being real.
- High-five it.

I'm being real.
There is none.

And I'm very selective.
I'm very picky.

As you should be.

If you're coming with it,
you better come with it.

And I haven't met anyone
that's coming with it, so...

the legs stay closed.

So when was your
last relationship?

Relationship
or sexual relation?

- 'Cause that's two different--
- Sexual relationship.

October.
I'm hopping on
a year almost.

- Uh-oh. Wow.
- See, I would have--

I'd have done
f*cked the old boy
in the bathroom by now.

But you know what?
But--

and it's weird
'cause I'm not--

I'm not missing it.

I'm more like--
I'm bored, I want
to have fun.

I want somebody to
tell me I'm pretty and
take me out to dinner.

- Like, I'm hungry.
- [ laughing ]

Sex with me right now
is just like...

if I get it,
all right, cool.

If I don't,
I'm cool, too.

So whatever.

But I'd be nice
if it happened.

- It'd be nice.
- Brandy.

- I'm not gonna lie.
- Brandy, this is real.

When you turn

you will want to do it--
you will want to f*ck
every day.

But that's
in three years.

Okay, well, I'm 32,
and I want to f*ck
every day.

But I'm not even 30 yet.

That's in three
years, though.

So I got three years
to hold on to this--

this little poonanny
right here and just chill.

You know what?
I love quickies, though.

I don't like
long sex.

I'm more like "get mine."
All that romance and sh*t
I could do without.

I love romance.

I don't like romance
because you ain't
doing it right.

- What?
- What do you mean
you can't "do it right"?

I want to get in
and give me mine

however many times
you can give it to me.

And then you need
to get off me.

- [ laughing ]
- That's what I'm saying.

Because I ain't got time
for all this foolishness.

- Now, when I get married...
- Flick them like a fly.

when I start having
feelings, then maybe we
can start getting into,

like, candlelight
dinners and sh*t.

Until then, I need you
to give me mine,

give it how I want it,
how long as I want it,

and who I want it from,

and I need you to
peace the f*ck out.

[ laughing ]

[ woman vocalizing ]

Um, 25 minutes.
Tell your friend
to hang out.

- All right, peace.
- She got another friend?

- What's going on there?
- I don't know, we're gonna
find out.

Who you going to see?

We're going
to my mother's house

to see if this
f*cking b*tch--

Yo, but why you acting
mad cool with her, then?

Because when you
want to catch somebody
doing something,

you ain't gonna be like,
"Yo, I'm gonna come catch you."

You're gonna be like,
"All right, cool, yeah."

So who you gonna catch?

My ex-girlfriend
at my mother's house

having sex with
some other girl.

- No kidding?
- Yep.

She called me and told me,
"Oh, I'm bringing people."

b*tch, I let you live
in my mother's house

and you're gonna
bring other girls
to my mother's house?

- Wow, that's not cool.
- Like, that's pretty bold.

f*cking people are shady.
Yo, girls--

I love women.
I love women to death.

But f*cking b*tches
are shady, yo.

Like, I moved out
of my mother's house

so that you
wouldn't be homeless,

and now you're gonna
sh*t on me 'cause I want
to move to Brooklyn?

You're gonna bring b*tches
to my mother's house?

She ain't even picking up
the f*cking phone.

- Don't worry about it.
We're going over there/
- She called me.

Yo, you call me?
You call me?

Yeah, I just want to make
sure you know there's people
here when you get here.

Yeah, I know.
I know there's people
there, all right?

Tell her I'm coming.
Tell her I'm coming.

And I'm bringing
people, too.

Let me tell you
something, though.

It better be
mad kosher, b*tch.

- It better be mad kosher.
- Tell her you're bringing me.

Hello?
Oh, my God. No!

What happened?

She's
my ex-girlfriend.

She's like
the love of my life.

Like, I have never
loved anybody

like this in
my whole life.

But the sh*t
with her drinking

and my drinking
to keep up

and all the bullshit,
we had to break up.

I had to break up
with her.

It was either my life
or our relationship.

And I chose my life.

But this girl
still has all of my heart.

Like, I don't think
I could ever love anybody
like this.

So what's she like?

She's beautiful
and she's funny

and she's hood.

I told myself
at one point I would
never date a white girl

'cause f*cking
white girls don't know
sh*t about struggle.

White girls act like if
their credit card gets declined,
that's the end of the world.

Then I met this girl, man,
and she's mixed.

She's black and she's white
and she's experienced struggle

in a way that I never
have experienced.

Her daddy's black,
her mother's white.

She's been called a "n*gg*r."
She's been called
a "white b*tch."

This girl knows me
like no one else will
ever f*cking know me.

- But we can't work it out.
- Why not?

'Cause I don't like her
when she drinks.

And she likes to drink
and I like to drink.

What is different about
her when she drinks?

The last time
that she drank,

she had me
by my f*cking throat.

- Wow.
- She was gonna try
to k*ll me, man.

- She blacked out.
- Oh, my God.

And that's when
I decided that I had
to break up with her.

She got really mad
and just, like, tried
to choke me up.

And, like, I could
f*ck this b*tch up.

You don't understand.
I'm a big girl.

Like, she's
a skinny girl.

And so it
came down to, like,

I'm either
gonna f*ck her up

and f*ck her up
good...

or I'm gonna figure out
a way to get her off me,

to stop choking me

so that I can
just get out of here.

So what'd you do?

It's like I didn't
want that to be my life.

I didn't want to have
to be like,

fighting somebody
that I love.

So I left.

But I love her so much.

And, like, I know
that she's only like
that when she drinks.

But I never want to have
anybody's hands around
my neck ever again.

How did you
meet her?

Oh, man, I met her
at a Starbucks.

She hollered at me.

Everybody thinks
'cause I'm the chubby
one with the hat

that I f*cking cast
a magic spell on her,

but she
hollered at me.

And she was the most
beautiful girl I had ever
seen in my whole life.

And now I just want
to f*cking get laid.

Like, that's one thing,
man, I can say this.

I don't look at love
and sex as synonymous.

Like, I can f*ck someone
I don't love in a heartbeat.

I want to f*ck

- Like every girl.
- I want to f*ck every
girl, m*therf*cker.

I will f*ck all the girls
in the world.

b*tches don't even know.
I might be chunky,

I might wear
f*cking glasses,

but I will make you come
like nobody f*cking else.

Even if you're
straight, b*tch,
I got you.

And I'm not trying
to change your mind.

I'm trying to show you
you got an option,
m*therf*cker.

Oh, my God, the first
time we had real sex,

we had sex for,
like, 13 hours.

That was when I was 21
and I was like,

"Oh, my God, this is
the woman I'm gonna marry."

That's how
we all think.

So what would happen
if you got over there
and she was doing something?

- I don't know.
- Oh, we about to find out.

Don't worry,
I got her back.

Here's my bottom line.
My bottom line is this.

You're throwing
an impromptu party

at my mother's house
with girls I don't know.

What kind of f*cked-up--

only lesbians deal
with that kind of sh*t.

If you're f*cking a dude,
then you're f*cking a dude

and that dude knows
that you're his girl
for the most part.

But lesbians always
got to have this kind
of rules sh*t.

"We're not together,
but we kind of are.

So you can't have sex
with anyone else

and neither will I,
but we're not gonna
be together."

Like, it's f*cking
ridiculous.

I hope you're straight
because it's so much easier.

[ music playing ]

[ door closes ]

Okay, so where
you guys going?

Well, one of us
is going to Flatbush,

us other two
are going to Rockaway.

So how was it?
How's your night been?

We own beer pong,
that's all I know.

- Oh, you won.
- Ran the table.

Give me five.

Whoa, whoa,
don't leave me hanging.

Best teammates right there
'cause we owned it.

- Get out.
- How old are you?

- I'm 35.
- Wow, you look good
for 35.

Why, thank you.
[ laughs ]

- I would never have guessed.
- How old are you?

- 22.
- Oh.

- How many kids you got?
- Three.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

You have kids?
I have a six-month-old.

I have--
she'll be two
in November.

Get out.
You have a baby?

- Adrianna.
- Driver: Oh, how cute.

Godfather
right behind you.

So-- oh, get out.

So you have a baby mama
or are you married?

Yeah, I got a baby mama.

- Really?
- We're together,
so, you know,

it's not terrible.

- Do you get along good?
- You know what?

She got mad love for me,
I got mad love for her

and we're just young,
you know? It's tough.

That's sweet.

So you guys weren't
using protection?

There was some times
we didn't, yeah.

f*cking dumb a*s.

Yo, you get
caught up, you know?
You get caught up.

- You smoke
too much weed for a dad.
- I smoke too much weed.

I did smoke
too much weed.

Didn't she say to you,
like, "Pull out"?

- "On my chest."
- [ laughing ]

"On my face, f*ck it.
Give me a facial."

I'm not gonna get into depth.
All I'm gonna say is
that I didn't.

Or, "On my back, at least.
It's a little more classy."

All I know is that
my daughter was the best
thing to ever happen to me.

- So no regrets?
- No regrets.

And we're both trying
to make it work, but yet...

we can't commit to each other
unless we're for sure

because it's a vow,
you know?

Like you dedicate
your life to somebody,

it's got to be for real.

We skipped a step.

What step
did you skip?

I'm supposed
to get to know her

before I decide to have
a child with her.

You know,
and marry her.

Instead,
we had a child

and now this child is caught
in the middle of both of us

regardless if I choose
to be with her or not.

- You know?
- Mm-hmm.

That's the hard part.

- Do you love her?
- I do.

But I'm 22, you know?

And as far as the feelings
of a male, it's like...

Is it hard
to stay loyal?

Yes and no.

Like, I don't want
anybody else

being that companion,
you know?

- Yeah.
- But I do want
to f*ck 'em.

[ laughs ]

I'm not attracted
to anybody like I am to her.

- Driver: Oh.
- Come on.

So you still feel
attracted to her?

I am very attracted to her.
I am very attracted to her.

- Is she a hottie?
- Yes, she is.

- Do you guys agree?
- Uh, yeah.

All right, she's black
and he doesn't really feel it.

I dig the body.
No offense.

You don't dig
black chicks?

Not really.
Not particularly.

I would.
I mean, why not,
you know?

You?
You dig black chicks?

- I love white girls.
- Oh!

- Especially blonde hair.
- [ laughs ]

There's just something
about it that's like...

- What is it?
- I don't know.

But it's just
f*cking sexy.

Holy sh*t.

- My girlfriend now is white.
- Oh, you got a girl?

Really? You have a girl?
See? Why didn't you tell us?

- Is she hot?
- Are you using
birth control?

I haven't even
f*cked her yet.

- She's a virgin.
- No way!

Yeah!

f*ck' A, Matt!

- Whoo!
- Oh, my God.

- Listen,
it's been my dream...
- That's my dream.

...not even--
no offense,

- but it's been my dream...
- I'm gonna steal her.

...to de-virginize
a virgin.

So how long you been
with this chick?

It's going on two years.

Stick with it, bro.

Do you jerk off
till it bleeds?

[ laughing ]

Driver:
Oh, my God.

I mean, I get a...

blow job
every now and then.

Oh!

Hey, listen,
I could live with that.

- I could live
with that, too.
- Definitely.

That's not
f*cking, right?

So she's still
a virgin.

What about you?
Are you gonna want babies?

Yeah, I want to have
offspring.

I want to be a winner.
I want to pass my genes--

No, you're a failure
genetically.

Aw, why do you
say that?

'Cause he has--
he has passed his--

I can already say it.
The whole purpose of
a species is to procreate.

Shut the f*ck up.
Can I please say my words?

He has passed half
of his-- what is given
to him to someone else.

I sh*t you not,
I'm gonna have 10 kids.

- Right?
- Got it.

I'd like to have at least
five half-Asians, though.

So regardless if he dies
in this cab ride back home...

Success.

...part of him still lives on
through this other person.

- Got it.
- Now...

Pat's swim down
the toilet bowl after
he watches porno.

I haven't passed part of me
down to anyone else yet.

- Uh-huh.
- It would just be...

- Mayhem.
- ...awesome.

Got it.

Okay, so you were
gonna tell me about
the birth.

Tell us about the story
when you got the call--

Yeah, I was smoking blunts
in my friend's basement.

- Oh, it's great.
- And then my parents
finally call.

So I'm walking home
mad stoned and I'm like,

"Oh, my God,
I've got to ask
them for the car."

And they were
like, "Are you high?"
I was like, "No."

Took her.
She was screaming at me.

Hitting bumps
was terrible.

I couldn't help it
'cause it was the pavement,

but yet it was
still my fault

'cause I didn't pave the road
before she got labor pains.

[ laughs ]

So we went there.
She took mad long
in labor.

And then the baby
was put in my arms
and it was just like--

Reality smacked you
in the face.

[ laughs ]

After that,
she came out,

they wiped her down.

Wiped all
the cream cheese
off her face.

Yeah, exactly.

Came into my arms
and that was it.

I was just holding her
like, "Oh, my God."

- And, like--
- The little heartbeat.

If you've ever held a baby,
you know what it feels like.

For a father,
it's amazing.

There's nothing
that could change a man
like his daughter.

And I just held her.
Just held her.

Just held her tight.

And I'll just be laying
there with her in my arms

and tears in my eyes
'cause I'm just so happy
that she's mine.

- Really?
- Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy.

Nothing makes me cry
like my baby.

- How you doing?
- I'm good.

Trying to make some money.
Ain't no money out here.

- Yeah?
- Nothing.

- Where you going?
- I'm going back
to Christopher.

Oh, Christopher.
Okay, cool.

So what's up with that?
No customers tonight?

Nothing. Nothing.

And this is the second
place I went to.

The first place I went to
was the same thing.

No money.
sh*t.

So how long
you been doing this?

I've been doing this
for a minute.

A minute?
What's a minute?

For like, maybe,

- Get out of here.
- Mm-hmm.

But you look
kind of young, though.

- Baby, I'm 40.
- Wow.

So what made you decide
to work on the streets?

The money was good.
At that time, the money
was good.

I'm a young little b*tch

and the first trick
I ever pulled

gives me $200.

Oh, wow.

Just to lick my a*s.

- Whoa!
- I say, you know what?

- He paid you?
- Yeah, he paid me $200
to lick my a*s.

- So I said
I'm gonna do it.
- Wow.

And ever since then
I got opened, and it
was on and poppin'.

Wow.

But back in the days here,
honey, they had boot--

shoe fetishes,
feet fetishes,

they want you
to pee on them.

And let me
tell you something.
They pay money.

- Those are the best ones.
- Yeah?

I would come out here
on a weekend, honey,

within that weekend
I'll make, like, $2,000,

$3,000, no problem.
No problem.

- No kidding?
- I'm dead-a*s serious.

And if I was smart,
I would have saved
all my money,

but, no, I was young,
so I was blowing
the money up

on clothes
and everything.

Had my own apartment
at age 15.

Wow.

But, honey,
those type of johns

don't come out no more.

- They really don't.
- Yeah?

Yeah. I don't know
if it's a recession

or something's going on,
'cause there ain't no
money out there.

I don't blame the tricks

or the johns.

I don't really blame them.
I blame the girls.

I really do.

The going price
is $50-60 for some head.

You gonna go tell
this guy, "$20."

Or 15.
I know times is rough

and sometimes you do
have to lowball,

but you don't have
to lowball like that.

It f*ck your head up.
It do.

Because it makes you feel,
"Am I pretty enough?"

Or "Do I still got it?"
Or "What's going on?"

Oh.

It's nothing cute
about this.

It's not,
because every time you
come out on the streets,

you're taking a chance
on your life.

And trust me, I know
because I've been
in situations.

There was one time--
and we had to make
some money.

So me,
like a dumb b*tch,

I was gonna go in the back
of the thing with this guy.

Okay.

So I'm walking,

but my dumb a*s,
I was walking in
front of him.

When I turned around, he had
one of them cinderblocks

and cracked me
in my face.

- Oh, no.
- Yeah.

And then I was
on the floor--

I will never forget this--
I was laying on the floor

and he said,
"I should k*ll you

'cause you are a sexy
m*therf*cker."

- I will never forget that.
- Oh, my God.

All I kept doing
was holding my face.

I didn't want him to hit me
in my face like that.

He already got me
one good time.

Now, the way I fell
and the way he was holding
that cinderblock,

if he would have
cracked me in my face again,

- I would have been dead.
- Oh, my God.

But what stopped
him was my sister,
thank God, Katrina.

Katrina must have knew
what was going on.

That b*tch was like,

"Girl, where you at?
Where you at?"

- And I started
screaming to her.
- Oh, my God.

My whole outfit
was full of blood.

Wow.

It's rough.
It's rough, it is.

I ain't gonna try
to sugarcoat anything.

This is not the life
that you want to lead.

You got these
crazy-a*s m*therf*ckers
that come up in here,

before you know it,
they put a g*n to your head,
God forbid.

And you give
them the money, honey,
they still pull the trigger.

- That's right.
- They don't give a f*ck.

Wow.

Like, the only pimp
I got now is my son
because I have a son.

- Oh.
- So he's my pimp.

What do you mean
by he's your pimp?

He's my pimp.
He gets all my money.

- That little b*stard.
- Oh.

[ laughs ]
So you take care of him
with your money.

- Yeah, of course.
- Oh, I see.

- How old is he?
- He's... what?

- He's eight years old now.
- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.
- Oh, that's beautiful.

- Does he see you as--
- Mommy.

- Mommy?
- That's-- Mommy.

But someday
you're gonna have
to tell him.

- You're gonna have
to explain to him.
- He already knows.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

- Wow, that's great.
- I don't hide nothin'
from my baby.

Wow, so what if your son
wanted to do what you do?

- Oh, hell no.
- Oh, yeah?

- Oh, hell f*cking no.
- What would you tell him?

- I will crack his skull.
- Yeah?

- I would.
- Why do you say that?

Because this
is not the life.

Yeah, it may sound like
I'm contradicting myself,

I'm being a hypocrite,
but it's the truth.

That's my child
and this is not the life.

I can't stop him
when he gets old, old, old.

But, no, baby,
I would advise you not to.

Go to school.
Do what you got to do.

If you decide
to do what you want to do

when you get older,
that's on you.

But working the streets?
Hell, no.

The regrets I have
is like, honey,

it ain't sh*t out here.
It ain't this out here.

You become
a dried-up prune.

Man, it must be pretty
rough surviving out here.

It is.
But, hey,

you got to hold up
your head.

You got to hold on
to something.

If you got faith,
hold on to that.

So what do you
hold on to?

I have faith.

I know there's
a God up there.

You know, I may be
a crooked b*tch at times,

but, honey, He knows.

He knows my heart.
Where my heart is at.

Just pray to God every night
you leave out that door.

Do you say a prayer
every night?

Every night before
I leave out my house.

What do you say?

I say just keep the good
coming to me

- and keep the bad away.
- [ laughs ]

I do.

And bless those that's
less fortunate than me.

[ music playing ]

- Hi, guys.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Where you going?

Going 4th and 92nd.

Okay, Bay Ridge, right?
Okay, no problem.

So now, wait,
you live here or
you live in Bay Ridge?

- I-- she lives here.
- I live here.

So you came
to get your girl?

Yeah, we spent
the day together.

- That's cute.
- Went to a museum.

How long you
been a couple?


That's pretty long.

I'm almost ready
to tell her I love her.

You haven't
told her yet?

No, I'm joking.

[ laughing ]

I bet you you were
the first one to say it.

- Yeah.
- You were?

Yeah.
We started strong.

Yeah, and then he f*cked up
a couple times.

Oh, sh*t.
What did you do?

Lied.

Broke up with me,
went to Miami,

hooked up with a girl,
came back.

- And then wanted
to get back with me.
- Don't say it like that.

- It's the truth.
- No, it's not.

Okay. So he lied once
to me about going out
to a club.

- Told me he wasn't there.
- It wasn't a lie.

Told me he was
at his friend's house.

And then my friend
called me and said,

"Oh, I've seen
your boyfriend at Glo."

And I was like, "Really?"

I was in bed
and my friend broke up
with his girlfriend.

His girl was
going to be at the club.

He wanted to go there
and just see what's
up with her.

- Mm-hmm.
- So he dragged me out.

So all right.
I got drunk.

I called her
because I missed her.

And made up
an elaborate story
about how...

- I didn't-- no.
- ...he was at his
friend's house.

"I didn't f*cking go out."
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah.

"I was at my friend's house.
How you gonna accuse me?"

I mean, while
he was really out.

And then how am I supposed
to trust him after that?

- You wanted to
see me that night.
- Exactly.

And you were like,
"I want to see you,
I want to see you."

So I broke up with him.

And then we got
back together

because that was
kind of in the beginning
of the relationship,

so I let it slide.
Whatever, you know.

And then we got back together.
We were together for a couple
months after that.

And then he
told me he needed a "break"
'cause he felt "overwhelmed"

and he "didn't know
what he wanted."

He was "confused"
about everything.

I got "unconfused" then.
I knew what I wanted.

- You became "unconfused"?
- I became unconfused.

So now, how did you
find out that he
went to Miami?

Facebook,
it doesn't help, so...

Pictures of him
and girls from Miami.

- Uh-huh.
- Yeah.

But she's leaving out
a lot of key details here.

No, I met a guy--
he broke up with me,

and then I met a guy.

So you met
a girl in Miami.

Yeah, but it was one--
she started talking
to somebody.

First of all,
he broke up with me.

So if a guy's gonna
approach me,

what do I care?
You left me.

He broke up with me
and went down to Miami,

so it looks worse
for him, no?

Kinda.
Sorta.

I was drunk.
I was drunk.

But you want to hold
that against me

like you didn't start,
like, almost a relationship.

It wasn't a relationship.

A couple weeks,
it would have flourished
into a relationship.

- It would not have.
- And I seen her--

we broke up Thursday,
Friday I seen her

in the same circle
with a kid that she used
to hook up with.

And it wound up that he was
at the same spot I was at.

And they
left together.

And you were at the same
spot with a girl he used
to hook up with.

- So let him not fool you.
- No, but you left with him.

Did you not
leave with him?

We went to another
club together.

So you left together.
You were with each other.

- You were with her.
- I wasn't with her.

You were with
f*cking Alessandra.

- I was with
a conglomerate of people.
- Yeah, "conglomerate."

On Facebook with a picture
of her a*s sticking out

and you sent a what,
a comment saying

"Juicy Couture"?
What does that mean?

Was that like an inside
joke or something?

What are you--
I didn't send any
comment like that.

Yes, you did.
Trust me, I know
everything. He did.

And you just all happened
to be in the same--

We missed each other
kind of, like, yeah.

So you were in
the same spot, but--

We're lucky
we missed each other.

It would have been
World w*r f*cking III.

Why, 'cause she was,
like, with the other--

If I would have seen that,
I would have went f*cking wild.

But it's okay for him
to have been there with
a girl he used to go with.

I didn't-- no.
You were standing there--

I walked in with my cousin
and the kid was there.

- That's not my fault.
- You're hanging out
with him, though.

And who knows?
And hold on, the night
we broke up,

she "just happened"
to be with him also.

- He goes to the same spot.
- "Happened to."

- God's honest truth.
- It's a coincidence.

It is. Whatever.
I don't feel like
talking about it.

- It's old news, I guess.
- It's done.

We're back.
We love each other.

That's good.
I'm glad.

I think we get along
really well.

Like, we argue
about stupid things

every now and then,
but we get along really well.

About her boobies
being out.

Oh, please.

I have a big chest
and he gets friggin'
mad at everything.

It's not huge.
It's not like you got
f*cking tanks on you

where they're like,
"What should I do with 'em,

put them in
the f*cking overhead?"

- Everything I put on-- "Oh."
- No, because--

- Like he complains
about this.
- That's nothing.

No, because
it was coming down.
You see the line?

You shouldn't see
no line.

Once you see
the line, no good.

You shouldn't
see no line.

Just for what?
What do you got
to flaunt for?

- You're flaunting.
- How old are you?

Take a guess.

- He's 20.
- He's 20?

You're not even
legal to drink?

- No way. And you?
- I'm gonna be 24.

Oh, lied to her about
the age in the beginning.

- Oh, yeah.
- Did he?

- He told me he was 25.
- Oh, sh*t.

- When did you find out?
- See?

What am I
supposed to do?

I can't tell her
the truth.

So I got in trouble
with a cop.

We're coming out of a club
and I'm going back and forth
with the cop,

this and that,
and the guy's like,

"You're not even
old enough to be out
right now."

'Cause he took his ID.
I'm like, "What?"

I'm like, "Yeah, he's 25."
And he's like, "No, he's not."

I'm, like, arguing
with the cop.

Like, "No, he's 25.
I know he's 25."

And then I took his ID
and I'm like, "Holy sh*t.

- He's not even 21."
- Oh, my God.

I was debating right then
and there if I should
still talk to him.

- f*ck you.
- But what happened?

I-- right?
I stood.

She already felt love
at that time.

Maybe I did.

♪ She really loved me ♪

♪ She wanted to sex me... ♪

- Shut up.
- [ laughs ]

This is a hot topic
for the night, huh?

- Yeah.
- Give me a kiss.

So then he did
the right thing.

Yeah, I guess
in the long run, he did.

He knows.
He got you.

[ laughs ]

[ music playing ]

- How you doing, man?
- I'm good, thanks.

The Royalton Hotel.

Okay.
How you doing
today, man?

- Yeah, good, thanks.
- Good.

- How's your night been?
- Pretty good, you know
what I mean?

Got a couple of nice
ladies coming in.

- Yeah? Okay.
- Yeah, in and out.

What about you, man?

Yeah, I got a couple
of nice guys.

- Huh?
- Got a couple
of nice guys.

- Okay. Okay.
- [ laughs ]

Who's the guys?

Okay, so one guy wanted
to dress me up in leather.

He wanted to dress
you up in leather?

Yeah. Wanted to be really
violent with this,

so I was like,
"No, no, no, no."

Okay, so you're not really
into the violent--

No, like, I'm English.
We don't do that.
We have tea.

Okay.
[ laughs ]

You can dress me up in
leather as much as you like,
but we have tea.

Okay.
[ laughs ]

How old were you when you
first decided you were g*y?

- About five years old.
- Five years old?

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Really?

Your parents,
did you come out to them?

Yeah, but
very, very late.

Very late?
Were your parents
open to sex?

No. God, no.

Quite cool parents,
but, you know,

if they found out their son
was getting f*cked up the a*s

at 13, I don't think they'd
be very pleased about it.

- Right.
- So I was still doing
boys at school.

Doing girls at school.
I think I was just a very
sexual person at that stage.

Oh, okay.

I think I sort of
got through this period
where other people go,

"Oh, do I like boys,
do I like girls? Do I like--"

I just went,
"I just want sex."

You had a pretty
sexual upbringing, man.

Do you know what?
Sex is sex.

Whoever you're
gonna have sex with,
you enjoy it.

- Right.
- It's got to be
no holds barred.

You've got to do
what you want to do,
what they want to do.

Really get on to it.
"Thank you very much.

- Right.
- See you in another life,"
you know?

Wow. So where
do you find partners
in England?

You know,
there's lots of places.

I mean, we have parks
you can walk into.

- Right.
- You can go in there,

you can have a wank,
you can have a blow job,

you can have a f*ck

with about seven
different people
and you go home.

Seven different
people?

Just sit on a bench,
pull your pants down,

somebody will come over
and suck your c*ck.

Wow.

- Are there women
at this park?
- No.

- No?
- No, it's just men.

So do you still
have sex with women
from time to time?

Um...

the last time I had sex
with a woman was about

Yeah, they don't really
do it for me now.

- I mean, you shag women
all the time, yeah?
- Yeah.

So you shag women
all the time.

- So you've got your c*ck
inside a woman.
- All right.

And when you put it in,
what do you feel?

Oh, man.
Moist, wet.

- Yeah.
- Everything.

But is it tight
'round your c*ck?

- Yeah.
- It's tight 'round
your c*ck?

Yeah, it's tight.
Tight as hell.

So you've got
a woman's fanny that's
tight around your c*ck.

Can you imagine
f*cking her in the a*s?

Could I imagine
f*cking her in the a*s?

But it's twice as tight.

So can you
imagine the feeling
you get from that?

The pleasure
is so much better.

- Than a woman?
- Yeah, it's so much tighter.

- Right.
- It's really just gripping
to your c*ck.

And you can feel
every f*cking movement.

That's sex.
That's dirty sex.

That's f*cking yes.

Somebody has my c*ck.

- [ laughing ]
- You know?

Whoa.

But I prefer to be
f*cked than to f*ck.

- You prefer to be f*cked
than to f*ck?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Still like f*cking,
but still prefer
to be f*cked.

So what's
the feeling like?

The difference?

Okay, so the difference
is at the beginning, it hurts.

- Right.
- Then it sort of goes numb.

And then it's really, really
f*cking sexually enjoyable.

You like it so much
and you just can't get enough.

Right. Relationships
between men, like, sex

is just so, like,
open and free, like,
you know what I mean?

- It's a given, you know?
- Yeah.

So you could say
to a woman, "Suck me c*ck,"

and they'd be like,
"Oh, God. God..."

And they'll have
all these hissy fits.

You say it to a man,

they'll be like,
"Okay."

Wow, man.

You don't have to buy
them dinner, you don't
have to fuss them up,

don't have to buy them
jewelry or nothing.

You just get your c*ck
sucked and that's it.

Wow, man.
It's that simple, huh?

It's that simple.

Maybe these women need
to start taking pointers.

- Tonight, you want to try?
- Huh?

- You want to try?
- Try what?

Do you want me
to suck your c*ck?

- No, I'm good, man.
- [ laughs ]

I'm good.

See, but this
is the thing.

- You could
just close your eyes...
- Right.

...and you'd never
notice the difference.

What difference
would you notice?

And we would
do it better.

It's like--
I don't know.

It's like a woman's
soft touch--

A man would suck your c*ck
better than a woman.

- I just--
- Because they know
what to do.

- I just--
- Try it.

Pull up somewhere
and let me suck your c*ck.

[ laughs ]

[ music playing ]

[ clicks ]

[ clicks ]

[ growls ]

We're going to One.
Club One on Gansevoort.

- Or is it
Little 12th Street?
- Okay.

Do you see why I love
coming there, though?

'Cause, like,
the way they treat me.
I get so much love.

Well, how you girls
doing tonight?

Lovely.
And yourself?

I can't complain.
Doing well so far.

Well, we're about to have
a blast right now.

So why you guys
leaving this club
to go to another one?

- 'Cause we're just
club-hopping today.
- We're on a club tour.

- Club tour on a Tuesday?
- Yep.

- That's the best night.
- It's the best night.

- Oh, really?
- Heck, yeah.

So where you girls from?

I was born and raised
in the Bronx.

But I live in Miami now.

What do you do
down in Miami?

- Everything.
- Everything?

- Yes, everything.
- What's one of the things
you do?

One of the things I do--
go out and have fun.

- And you get paid for that?
- Sometimes.

- Really?
- Pause.

[ laughs ]

But I don't f*ck
nobody for money.

I don't actually
f*ck anybody.

I've been on strike.

- You've been on strike?
- Yeah.

What made you
go on strike?

I'm a cancer survivor
and I was in a six-year
relationship.

And when I had
to go through chemo,

the man that I loved

turned out to be
not good for me.

So it's been two years
last week that I'm single.

That's horrible that
you had to go through that

- to find out the truth.
- Driver: Really?

I wasn't the girlfriend
to ever go through e-mails

or phones or messages
and stuff like that.

To me,
that sh*t is whack.

But something told me
to go on his Myspace.

And I did and he was
actually telling girls

that he did
have a girlfriend,

but that the only reason why
he was with her was because
she was dying of cancer.

- Are you kidding me?
- Yeah.

So I dealt with
a lot of sh*t.

- That is f*cked up.
- But I got really fed up.

Especially when I really
needed you the most,

you know,
you weren't there, so...

What was it
that the e-mail said?

Basically that
he was still with me

because he knew
I was dying of cancer

and he didn't want
to break my heart.

So that would be
the excuse of the girls
not to call him at night

because he was at home
with me and I was sick in bed.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I had stage 3
colon cancer.

- Colon?
- Yeah.

- Wow.
- I still have the port.
You see this?

What's that?

This is where my chemo
was going through.

It's like catheters
that go into my main arteries.

It was crazy, but I did
nine months of that.

Oh, wow.

And this September
makes two years

that I'm in remission.

- Nice.
- Holler.

And I actually
haven't been to the doctor
in a couple of months

because I lost my job
and I don't have insurance.

Really?

I lost everything.
Like, I'm struggling
right now

doing what I'm doing
because I have--

you know,
I believe in myself,

but I had money in the bank
before I got sick.

I had to, like,
use that money

'cause I couldn't work.
I was so sick from the chemo.

I couldn't work.
They denied me
Social Security.

And now
I'm f*cked up.

I don't have a car
'cause I got caught up

in payments,
so they repo'd my car.

Cancer kind of
f*cking destroyed me.

But it really didn't
'cause it's just like...

making me stronger to do
what I'm about to do right now.

Just watch out.
Watch out, world.

Wow.

I seen my mom die from cancer
within four months.

- She died in my arms.
- Within four months?

- Yeah.
- When did you find out
you actually had cancer?

I remember I was with
my youngest son at the time.

He was about five,
I would say.

And the doctor was like,
"Do you know the difference

between benign
and malignant?"

And I said, "Yes.
I'm very familiar with cancer.

It runs in my family."
So he goes,

"The biopsy report came back
and the tumor that you had
was malignant."

- Mmm.
- He goes,
"You have cancer."

And I remember
just sitting there

and I just started
to cry.

And I remember leaving
the doctor's office.

The first person that
I had called was my dad.

Hysterical.

And my dad
was always like--

he wasn't around
all the time,

but when he was,
he always gave tough love.

So he was, like, yelling
at me like, "Stop crying.

Why are you crying for?

There's nothing
you can do by crying."

He was, like,
really rough with me.

- And I remember I was
just sitting there crying.
- Really?

And I was like, "Damn,
all I need for you to say is
everything's gonna be okay."

- Yeah.
- Even if it was a lie,

just be like,
"Yo, J, everything's
gonna be okay."

- You know?
- You're right, yeah.

But he was just so--
he was an as*h*le about it.

And that sh*t crushed me.
And I hung up

and I drove
all the way home
just crying.

- But crying not
because I was scared.
- You were with your son?

Yeah. But I wasn't crying
because I was scared.

- How old was he?
- Like five.

I was crying because
I was just frustrated.

Like, "What the f*ck
is my next move?"

I couldn't, like--
you know?

I wasn't ready to die.

There's so much I knew
I had to do in life.

There's a purpose for me
in this f*cking place.

You know?
And I was like,
"I'm not ready."

- Yeah.
- Did you talk to
your kids about it?

Of course.
My kids went
through it with me.

What was it
that you told them?

That Mommy was very sick
and, you know,

that she was gonna
be sick for a little while

and that everything
would be okay.

And they helped me out.

They were there for me
whenever I needed anything.

That's nice.

My oldest son
was with his dad,

but my youngest son,
he would go and get
me water.

He would
get me crackers.

He would feed me.
He would get me a blanket.

- He took care of me.
- Oh, wow. Really?

One time I went to chemo--
through chemo

and I came home
and I was very, very ill

and I jumped off the couch
to run to the bathroom

and he actually
followed me.

And I was
holding the toilet
with both hands

and he came
and he grabbed my hair

and held it up
and pat me on my back

and told me that everything
was gonna be okay

and then grabbed me
a glass of water

so that I can drink.

Are you kidding me?

What was it that he
would say to you?

That everything
was gonna be okay

and to believe in God

and that God was gonna
"make things better."

Really?

My youngest son
is a very spiritual person.

He was five years old
and he took care of me.
