[Wind blowing]

[Faint blowing]

[Whistling]

[Humming]

What if we just ate the food

instead of bringing it to them?

Would you like it

if your delivery driver

ate your food?

What if we just take

a couple French fries?

Don't you think they'd notice?

[Hazel]

We'd be real sneaky about it.

Uh-hmm. If we got a low rating

and got kicked off the app,

then what are we gonna do?

[Sighs] You're a buzz k*ll, man.

[Cook] Order's up.

Come on, let's go do this

then we can go home.

-Thanks.

-[Groans]

[Billy] The top. Yeah.

-[Buzzes]

[Billy] You're getting so big.

[Groans]

[Door buzzes]

Let's go. Pull up.

Come on. Go, go, go, go.

-Yeah. This place smells funny.

-How do you know

it's not yourself

you're smelling?

-I don't smell.

-Oh, yeah?

[Sniffs, groans]

You're getting a bath

after dinner.

[Hazel] Stop lying.

-Here you go.

-All right.

Thanks, man. Come on.

[Man] But where's my drink?

Uh, it's--it's all they gave me.

Well, you better go

back and get it.

I'm--I'm sorry, I--I

can't do that, sir.

You're gonna have to contact

customer support in the app

and they'll give you

a credit for the drink.

Yeah? Well, how am I supposed

to eat without a f*cking drink?

[Billy]

Buddy, watch your language

-in front of--

[Man] I don't give a f*ck

about you or the little brat.

-I just want my drink.

[Billy] Okay, man.

You gotta contact

customer support,

they're gonna give you

credit for the drink, okay?

[Man] Yeah, yeah, yeah,

whatever, whatever. Yeah.

Yeah, no wonder you're just

a f*cking delivery driver.

[Billy] Tell him to

have a good day.

-Have a good day.

[Hazel] Have a good day.



[Motor revving]



[Mr. Rodriguez]

Hey, Billy, Hazel.

Hey, Billy. Rent's late again.

I got you tomorrow.

[Mr. Rodriguez]

You gotta let me know

when you have to pay late again.

[Billy] One more day.

[Mr. Rodriguez]

Can't keep doing this, Billy.

I--I hear you, Mr. Rodriguez.

One more day.

[Indistinct chatter on TV]

[Microwave beeping]

[Blows]



[Laughing on TV]

[Billy] Food's up there.

[Hazel] Yeah.

[Billy]

Okay. Be careful, it's hot.

[Cartoonish laugh on TV]

How would the toilet

not be filled with roaches?

Because you flush toilets.

But the--the roaches would

be down in the ocean, then.

-Yeah?

-Right?

But that's why they're

not in the toilet.

But then what if

the fish ate the roach?

Well then, it would be

food, wouldn't it?

Wouldn't you rather have

the fish eat the roach...

-No.

-...than the roach

-in the toilet?

-It would get sick.

That's true.

[Dog barking]

[Phone vibrates]

[Siren wailing in the distance]

[Coughing]

[Laughing]

That's the sh*t, homie.

Whoo!

Thanks, man.

Whoa.

[Dog barking]

g*dd*mn.

-Hey.

-Hoo!

I can throw you an O

if you need some extra cash.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I'm out the game.

Can't get pinched again.

Look, I'm just saying.

No, it's just...

I got this delivery

thing right now

and I don't wanna mess it up.

You can't be making

more than, what,

12, 15 an hour after

it's all said and done?

It's cool, man, really.

-I got bigger plans.

-Oh, yeah, like what?

-You ain't got no plans.

-Shut up.

-You don't know.

-No, I know you.

[Crickets chirping]

No, man.

I'm good on that.



Uh, uh, uh. Can only get one.

Put one back.

But you said

I can have a special treat.

You want tortilla chips

as your special treat?

[Sighs] No.

[Billy] Come on.

Is that your treat?

Okay. Put it in the basket.

Look at all your freckles.

[Register beeping]

39.45.

Uh, you sure you didn't

scan something twice?

Are you asking me to check?

Could you?

That's everything.

The total's 39.45.

Um, we're gonna

have to take the--

the fruit punch off,

I'm sorry.

-But you promised me.

[Billy] I know I did,

but I don't have enough

to cover it, okay?

We'll get you something

special next time.

You're not giving me

a choice, buddy.

Could you take

the fruit punch off, please?



[Register beeps]



[Engine stops]



What took you so long?

The app said you'd be

here 30 minutes ago.

I'm sorry about that.

There was construction traffic.

What is this?

You brought your kid with you?

I'm not giving you a tip.

The food's probably cold by now.

Look, man, do whatever you want.

You got your food.

Have a nice day.

You know what?

You're getting one star. Uno.

[Billy] Here.

It's okay, Dad.

He's an a*s.

Yeah.

Come here.

[Indistinct chatter over radio]

[Whirring]

[Billy] Hazel, stop that.

You're gonna make

yourself dizzy.

[Hazel] But I wanna get dizzy.

[Billy] You're silly.

Gonna get in a spin, and spin,

and spin until I fly like--

like a helicopter.

[Billy] Okay. But don't

make yourself sick.

[Hazel laughs]

[Billy] Hazel, Hazel,

Hazel, stop, stop, stop.

[Man] I'mma k*ll you.

I f*cking swear.

I'll be out in no time,

and then you'll see.

-What happened?

-I can't say anything right now.

Just go back to your apartment.

[Man on TV]

Landed in the deciding game

of the American League

East pennant race,

Dave Stieb gets the start

for the Jays,

while the Yanks send

Guidry to the mound.

The 3-game series

is even at one apiece

after the Blue Jays stormed

back in the top of the ninth

with 12 runs to win

the game 15...

[Paper crinkles]

It left the Royals

to clinch that division...

Where's the f*cking sock?

[Hazel] I'm from nighttime,

and you're from daytime.

I got this one.

Hi.

Can you give us some change?

We need money for candy

because we have diabetic

low blood sugar.

So if we don't eat candy,

we'll die.

[Chuckles]

Mmm.

This one tastes like sunshine

and rainbows combined.

You don't know what

rainbows taste like.

Sure I do.

It tastes like chocolatey,

sweet, and sour

all combined into one.

Let me try.

[Siren wailing in the distance]

You got a lot of light

in this unit, lots of space.

[Kids laughing and giggling]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, quiet.

Guys, slow down.

Would you like some tea?

And it ended up as a big-headed

snotty-nosed sh*t monster.

What's a sh*t monster?

[Luca] It eats your face off

when you look at your poop

in the toilet.

It jumps out at you.

Ew. You're gross, man.

[Laughs]

[Cosmo] Yo, Luca. Lunch.

[Luca] Gotta go,

catch you later.

[Hazel] Okay.

-Hey, Hazel.

[Hazel] Hey, Cosmo.

-You good?

[Hazel] Yeah.

-All right.





[Phone chimes]

[Woman on TV] Imagine

your toes in the sand

and the sound of the ocean.

An ice cold drink.

Taking horseback trip,

a guided tour...

[Vanessa] This is Vanessa

from Sovereign Savings Bank

calling in regards

to your overdue account...

[Indistinct chatter]

I have to go to the bathroom.

You can't wait

until we get home?

Number one or number two?

Okay.

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you.

I was wondering if you might

be able to do me a favor.

[Hostess] What can

I help you with?

I'm a delivery driver

waiting for an online order

and my daughter needs to

use the bathroom.

Would you mind if she just

ran back there really quickly?

[Hostess] I'm really sorry, sir,

but the bathrooms

are for customers only.

Okay. I've been

waiting 40 minutes

because your kitchen

is backed up or whatever

and--and now she's gotta go.

I'm not asking for much here.

I'm so sorry,

but it's our policy.

Come on.

She's 7. I mean,

you know what it's like.

When you gotta go, you gotta go.

I'm...

sure you can make

an exception just this once.

I--I really wish I could,

but my bosses are pretty

strict about it.

Come on, lady,

I can't hold it forever!

[Hostess] Uh...

Yeah!

I--I really hate to

bother your customers

and--and make a scene.

-Is that what you want?

-Please, just keep it down.

Oh, now you want me

to keep it down.

I could lose my job.

I can get louder.

Your boss is gonna like that?

All I'm asking is for you

to let my little girl

use the bathroom.

[Hostess] Okay, okay, okay.

Just stop.

Was that so hard?

[Sighs] No. Wait. Follow me.

[Indistinct chatter]

What are you looking at,

Warren Buffett?

[Hostess scoffs]

That's Philip.

His wife takes all his money,

so he has to work two jobs.

During the week,

he's a businessman.

And on the weekends,

he makes balloon animals

for kids' birthday parties.

There's money

in balloon animals?

Oh, yeah.

It's a gold mine.

Well, I guess we're

in the wrong business.

It's okay.

You have to be

really good at it,

and we don't know

how to do that.

Your turn. Do the lady

with the stroller.

Oh, that's Susan.

You don't wanna

know about Susan.

-Why not?

-Susan has, um, emotional--

what's called an idiosyncrasies.

What's a Indian sink crazy?

It's like a weird

or unusual thing a person does.

What does she do?

She's known to have

a short fuse,

doesn't like strangers,

hates pandas.

Uh-huh. If you say

one wrong thing,

she'll really blow up at you.

Wow. Susan sounds like a bummer.

[Billy laughs]

I feel bad for the baby

in the stroller.

Yeah.



[Dog barking]

[Billy] This should be it.

I wanna pet the doggy.

I don't know if that's

a type of dog you pet.

Hey, doggy.

[Billy] Be careful, Hazel.

-Hey, here you go.

[Man] Thanks.

[Hazel] Come here, doggy.

-Have a good one.

-Hazel.

-Bye, doggy.

[Dog whines, barks]



This isn't working.

Don't worry, it will.

Come on.

Excuse me, sir.

Me and my dad got separated

from our camp field trip

and now we can't get

in the museum.

[Man] Hmm.

Our whole day is ruined.

[Man] You can't get

into the museum?

She, uh--she wanted

to take charge.

[Man laughs]

Uh, I don't have

enough money on me

to pay for admission.

If you could just buy us

a couple of tickets,

we'd really appreciate it.

And we can get reconnected

with our group.

[Man] Okay. I'll help.

Thank you so much,

you're a lifesaver.

Thanks, man.

Wait here, I'll get the tickets.

This place reminds me

of "Alice in Wonderland."

It's the paintings.

I thought so.

I wish I could be the queen.

[Billy] That'd be

nice, wouldn't it?

I would have the best dresses.

Bet you would.

The old lady in the painting

had a really pretty dress.

She did.

Do you think we could get Swiss

cheese sandwiches back then?

I honestly don't know.

I bet if you were

a king or a queen

You could get

Swiss cheese sandwiches.

You would think so?

Still nothing?

Yup.

[Man] Now serving E5.

Hmm, when are they

gonna call us?

Soon.

I'll be a grandma

by the time that happens.

We've been here five minutes.

It feels like five years.

I'm thirsty.

I'll get you something

to drink when we leave.

I'm thirsty now.

Hey, well, just think

hydrating thoughts, okay?

Control your breathing.

[Breathes deeply]

[Exhales]

[Whistling]

Is that what you're doing?

Where'd you learn that?

-TV.

-TV?

Now serving A36.

That's us.

Let's go. Come on.

Let's go. Come on.

When I started, I was clearing

at least 500 a week,

but for the past few weeks,

it's been more like 350.

And then we've gone

long stretches

without getting any jobs

or any calls.

I'm--I'm just trying

to figure out why.

[Man] Yeah, you're not the first

person to ask about this today.

So we've had

an influx of drivers,

lots of students for the summer.

that could be

a contributing factor

to why you're getting

less deliveries.

I can't wait--don't push

on the table, Hazel, please.

I can't wait until the fall

to pay my bills.

[Man] Dude, I wish there

was something

I could do for you

but unfortunately,

that's just, like, the ebb

and flow of these things.

It can be seasonal.

So, um, what am I

supposed to do?

Come on.

Wait right here.

Oh, look at this,

you guys hiring?

Great. Thank you.

[Man] Okay.

Have a good one.

In here. In here, in here.

Hey, you guys hiring?

I got a resume

right here for you.

Okay. Great. Thank you so much.

[Hazel laughs]

Do you think aliens

on other planets

have to go to work?

I don't want to go

to work when I grow up.

[Chuckles] Good luck with that.

[Hazel] I wanna stay

home all day long

and eat food and watch TV

and never leave the house.

I think it's time

for you to go to sleep.

It's getting late.

What did you want to be

when you grew up?

I don't remember.

Go to sleep.

Fine.

[Distant engine revving]

[Distant dogs barking]

[Tom] Hey, Billy,

it's Tom from Architects LTD.

It looks like there were

some discrepancies

in your work history,

so unfortunately,

we're not gonna be able

to honor the job--

-[Phone dialing]

-Come on, pick up,

pick up, pick up, pick up.

[D] They always come

crawling back.

Hi, Deandra.

[D] It's just D now.

I need some work.

[D] Of course you do, sweetie.

Can I come see you?

[D] I'll have to put you

on my calendar.

I'm hard up, D, I can't wait.

[D] What are you doin' now?

I haven't seen you

in what, two years?

What happened with

you goin' straight?

It's harder than I thought.

Life's not fair, baby.

-Uh-uh.

[D] But I'm glad you called me.

You were always

one of my favorites.

[Chuckles] Thank you.

Stand up.

Turn around.

You work out?

Uh, not in a while.

[D] Nice enough, though.

All right.

You can face me again.

What kind of availability

are we talkin'?

Whenever you need.

[D] Same bag of tricks,

nothing additional?

-Same bag of tricks.

-All right, baby.

You have just gotten

yourself hired.

[Engine revving]

Let's see.

Come here. Turn to me.

I'mma need you to stay

here on this one, okay?

-But I always come with you.

-I know. I know.

But this time, it's different.

I have to, uh, I have to take

care of some adult stuff, okay?

Okay.

[Billy] Just sit

right here, okay?

[Whimpers]

[Doorbell dings]

-I'm here to see Victoria.

-Oh, that's me.

I'm Billy. Nice to meet you.

So polite. Come in.

[Chuckles]

Have a seat while

I go freshen up.

Okay. Thanks.

I'll be right out.

Don't you go anywhere.

[Hazel humming]

[Victoria] Ugh,

my husband bought that couch.

I hate it,

but he thinks it's comfortable.

It's fine. You ready?

[Victoria] Yeah. Follow me.

If my husband knew I was

using his money for this,

he'd go nuclear.

You have nothing

to worry about, though.

He's a big p*ssy.

[Victoria exhales]

[Victoria breathing heavily]

Well, thanks again.

I really enjoyed myself.

You do great work.

[Chuckles]

Anytime.

[Hazel] Well, one,

two, three, four.

You're still just

going in to battle.

No. Don't stop.

[Billy] You ready?

Come here. Let's go.



Right.

Okay.

Boom.

All right. We're

walking from here.

Why do we have to walk?

Because we want them to think

that we're people with money

and this scooter doesn't help.

Okay.

[Man] All right.

Thank you so much.

[Woman] I appreciate it.

[Man] Yes.

No, I appreciate you both.

[Billy] Hey, hey, hey, hey.

-Oh.

[Billy] Hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, get back here.

-She loves the house already.

-Yes, she does. I'm sure.

You folks--you guys, uh,

here for the open house?

-Still going on, isn't it?

-Of course.

I'm Jack. This is

my daughter Samantha.

My name is Scott.

And, uh, how old

are you sweetheart?

Old enough.

-Okay.

-Okay.

Well, uh, please, come in.

You have any questions at all,

don't hesitate to ask.

-Thanks, Scott.

-Mm-hmm. Come on in.

[Hazel] And this is

where my bed would be.

And this is the play area

where I keep

a bunch of new toys.

And here will be where

all of my dresses would be.

A closet all to myself.

There's so much space!

It's perfect.

You guys have any questions?

-Not yet.

-Hmm.

-It's a nice place.

-Oh, yeah.

Uh, we've seen

a lot of interest.

Should get snapped up quickly.

-Hmm.

-Hmm.

This place isn't haunted is it?

[Chuckles]

Not that I know of, sweetie.

Good. Because we don't

want roommates.

No way. [Laughs]

Have you ever ate

strawberry cake?

-No.

-Me neither.

Just vanilla or chocolate.

I haven't ate vanilla

in my whole life

and I've never had vanilla

chocolate in my whole life.

Mm-hmm.

Your mother loved cake.

I don't remember her.

I know.

You were too young.

What was she like?

She was tall.

Slim but not too skinny.

She had hair just like yours.

She cared about everyone.

She was wonderful.

Do you miss her?

I do.

I wish she could be here.

I'd share my cake with her.

She would love that.

What?

What?

I feel a sugar high coming on.

Then more for me, I guess.

What? I can't have all of this?

Come on.

Wait here, okay?

I won't be long.

Why can't I come with you?

Because I said so.

What am I supposed to do?

Here. Here, play a game. Okay?

I see you in a few.

Stay by the bike.

[Doorbell dings]

[Birds chirping]

[Footsteps approaching]

[Woman giggles]

[Exhales]

[Giggles]

[Phone chiming]

[Video game trilling, beeping]

[Inhales]

You wanna, um...

see the bedroom? Ha.

Thank you,

but, uh, I have to go.

Oh, come on. Don't be shy.

I really have to go.

I'm not asking you to do

anything for free.

I'm sorry, I can't.

You mean you won't.

[Paper rustling]

You can go.

Oh, yeah. We are totally

in a fancy hotel.

Not anymore.

We just went out.

And now we're at the beach.

[Video game music playing]

He's asleep.

[Both giggling]

[Both laughing]

[Shaving cream squirting]

Hazel!

[Continue laughing]

Get over here!

Oh, my God. Come here.

Luca. Is this your idea?

Is this your idea,

you little stinker, huh?

Huh? Huh? Huh?

[Continue giggling]

Oh, my God.

[Hazel] Anyways,

as I was saying,

there're giants that live

in the clouds.

[Luca] No, there aren't.

[Hazel] Yes, there are.

I saw them.

They're old

and have long beards.

[Luca] You're a liar.

Oh, you don't have

to believe me.

My dad saw them, too.

He'll tell you.

[Birds chirping]

[Bottle pops]

[Bottle cap clatters]

[Exhales]

Victoria?

The f*ck is going on, Victoria?

-Who the hell is this?

-Relax, Dennis.

-He's just a plumber.

-You're f*cking a liar.

-I should get going.

-No one's going anywhere

until I find out what you guys

were doing in here.

Okay. [Chuckles]

Look, man. I don't really care

what you think

was going on here,

but you're not holding

me against my will.

Now step aside.

[Victoria]

Let him go, Dennis.

Aah!

Dennis, stop!

[Screams]

[Dennis grunts]

[Billy groans]

[Hazel running]

[Billy coughs]

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy! Daddy!

[Heart monitor beeping]



[Billy] Hazel?

Daddy.

-Are you okay?

-Mm-hmm.

I should be asking

you the same thing.

I'm okay,

but can we go home now?

Yeah. We have to ask

the doctor first, okay?

I'm glad you're okay.

Me too.

I'm sorry.



Ow, ow, ow.

[Groans]

f*ck.

[Cosmo laughs]

sh*t.

Hmm?

Hold on. Pause it. Pause it.

Uh-huh.

What?

Oh, hey.

Dude, I haven't seen you since

you got outta the hospital.

-You doin' all right?

-Yeah, I'm fine.

Listen, I--I'm sorry I didn't

come by to visit or anything.

I just--I didn't wanna

bother you, you know.

It's okay.

Well, you wanna come in?

Luca's gotten really good

at this one video game.

I can't beat him

for the life of me.

Listen, I need to

ask you something.

Yeah, man. What's up?

I need your help.

You know I got your back, man.

What do you need help with?

I think I need to get

back in the game.

Nah.

-Yeah.

-Nah.

Nah. Nah, nah, nah.

Nah, nah,

nah, nah.

-Stop smiling.

-Hey, come here.

Mr. "Oh, I'm done."

Mr. "Oh, I'm good."

Yeah, my a*s, bro.

-Are you done?

-No. Get your a*s in here.

[Knocks on door]

[AJ] Billy boy.

[Billy] What's up, AJ?

What's up, man?

Good to see you.

-What's up, girlfriend?

-Hi, AJ.

[AJ] Hi, look at you.

You got so big.

You guys thirsty?

-All right. Come in. Come in.

-Come on.

Subwoofer on his system

is just out in this world.

And when the music hits, man,

I--I can't even explain it.

It's like a--

it's a spiritual experience.

It's like boom, boom, boom.

And you're like, whoa!

It's crazy and you're--

oh, uh, I--I--I'm going on

too much, you know.

-Nah, man. You're good.

-Hah ha ha! Yeah. Yeah.

-So, how are you guys doin'?

-Just fine, man, really.

You like going out

with your dad?

We really should be

going in a minute.

We got a lot of

other stops to make.

-Can we--yeah. Yeah.

-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let me just grab my stash.

Let me grab it.

[Helicopter whirring

in distance]

[Billy, whispering]

Oh, my God.

[Hazel, whispering] What?

[Billy, whispering] Nothing.

[AJ] All right.

Got you right here, Billy boy.

-Right here.

-Ah, you the man.

-I got you squared, man.

-It's great.

-All right, little lady.

-Come on.

It was good seeing you.

-Fist bump.

-Come on.

-Bye.

-Come on. Bye, AJ.

All right, man. Peace.

Hey, come here.

Why does AJ need medicine?

Oh, everybody needs something.

And his doctor

won't give it to him?

Well, AJ needs special medicine

that regular doctors don't get.

So, do all the other

people we're seeing?

Exactly.

It's not fair they don't get it

from the doctor.

Yeah.

It is what it is.

Okay.

You ready?

Yeah.

[Scooter starts]







[Dogs barking in distance]

Hmm.

Mine!

All yours.

Hang on. You ready?

[Giggles]

You wanna play again?

[Pounding on door]

We'll keep playing in a minute.

[Dogs continue barking]

Hey, man, we got a problem.

What happened?

You know, this batch?

It was dirty.

AJ is dead.

You're f*cking kidding me.

No, I wish that I was, man.

You said everything

would be fine.

I f*cked up, man. I'm sorry.

Damn it.

I had to burn my phone.

You should do the same.

I mean, get outta

here for the night.

I don't know what's coming.

Okay, but where am

I supposed to go?

Get a hotel or something.

I got one for me and Luca.

Look, you won't tell me

where you're going

and we won't tell you.

All right?

And we'll link up

when things cool down.

Go. Now.

Okay.

Can we play again?

No.

Why not?

I need you to grab some

toys and your clothes.

We have to go, quickly.

I don't understand.

[Billy] I don't have time

to explain everything to you.

I need you to help me pack.

We have to leave.

We're gonna go stay

somewhere else for the night.

What's happening?

Hazel, no questions.

I'm scared.

Look at me. Look at me.

Look at me. Stand up.

Don't be scared.

I need you to be a big girl.

Everything's gonna be all right.

You do what I tell you,

we're gonna be fine. Okay?

Okay. Take this.

Grab your stuff.

Get Snowflake.

Hi. Uh, how much for

one room for one night?

Oh, 79.

Price has gone up?

Yeah.

Used to be 59.

Do you want the room or not?

Yeah, sure.

You okay?

[Yelling in distance]

Come on.

[Yelling continues]

[Helicopter blades

whirring in distance]

[Hazel] Something bad

gonna happen to us?

No, baby. Nothing bad

is gonna happen.

We're just being careful.

I wanna go home.

[Sobs]

I know.

But we're gonna go to sleep

and tomorrow when we wake up,

everything's gonna be better.

Promise?

I promise.

[Sobbing]

[Police siren wailing]

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm here.

[Helicopter blades whirring]



[Mr. Rodriguez] Billy.

Hey, Billy.

You're in danger

of being evicted.

I don't have to do that,

but you're leaving me no choice.

I will get you the rent

as soon as I can, I promise.

That's not good enough

this time.

This is your final warning.

Your final, you hear me?

Yes, sir.

[Door opens, closes]

Yeah, just like that,

in circles.

Perfect.

[Knocks on door]

Just keep trying.

Hey, man, you got a sec?

Not really.

Well, I need to talk

to you for a sec.

What do you need?

I gotta show you something.

So bring it by.

Man, it's work-related.

Hold on.

Hazel, I'm gonna go

to Cosmo's real quick.

Just keep trying.

I'll be right back, okay?

[Hazel] Okay.

[Door closes]

Lock it.

[Video game sounds]

[Billy] Hey, Luca.

Hey, Billy.

[Plastic bag crumples]

Please tell me

that's not f*cking coke.

Why, are you gonna be mad?

I would be f*cking mad, yeah.

Okay. But that's not important.

What's important

is that I already have a buyer.

You come in this deal with me,

and we can split 10 Gs, 50-50.

What about AJ?

I mean, did you learn nothing?

I tested it.

-It's clean. Yeah.

-You tested it?

I don't know, man.

[Cosmo] What,

it's one last deal.

And then you can take

the proceeds and invest it

in something,

I don't know, straight.

I can't.

You're just gonna

do me like that?

Oh, you know it's not

like that, man.

I can't show up there alone.

It could blow up the whole deal.

They think they're dealing

with professionals,

not just a one-man band.

Look, I know you need the money.

It'll be the easiest 5 grand

you ever made in your life.

Except nothing

is ever easy with you.

Oh, that hurts.

-That's because it's true.

-Oh, yeah.

'Cause you're only thinking

of yourself, Cosmo.

I don't need this, man.

Ah, f*ck.

Don't you just...

don't you just wish

things didn't have to be

so hard all the time?

All the time.

[Cosmo] Then do this with me.

10 Gs.

50-50.

50-50.

Yeah, okay.

I'm so f*cking broke.

Does that mean you're in?

Yeah.

I'm in.

-You're not gonna regret this.

-Stop smiling.

God.

[Sighs]



[Knock on door]

[Indistinct TV chatter]

Oh, God.

-All right, kiddo. Oh,

-what's up, Luca?

Hey, Billy, this is Julie.

She's gonna watch the kids

while we're out.

-Nice to meet you.

[Julie] You too.

[Cosmo] Yeah.

-Come on in.

[Cosmo] Thank you.

-I love you.

-Bye.

Okay.

[Billy] Hey.

[Cosmo] Huh?

[Billy] Where'd you find Julie?

I met her through a good friend.

Hmm? You're good.

Just don't worry about her.

[Billy] You got the stuff?

-Yeah, yeah.

Would you just take

some deep breaths?

Relax. Brother Cosmo's

got it all figured out.

Hey, wait here for a sec.

I'll be right back.



[Cosmo] Whew.

All right, partner. Let's do it.

-It's a nice touch.

-Oh, thank you.

I gotta keep it professional.



[Cosmo] All right?

You're kind of quiet.

Yeah, I'm good.

Don't worry about the deal.

All right? Your brother Cosmo's

got it all covered.

When we get there,

uh, park,

call them, they show up,

we exchange the goods,

and bam, we're done.

Just like that.

-Sounds good to me.

-Yeah?

Yeah? 'Cause we gotta get

this money, man.

Huh? [Laughs]



[Insects chirping]

Yeah, we're here.

Okay.

Yeah, that's us.

Okay.

They're on their way, man.

-Should we get out?

-No, no, no. No, no.

They said, uh,

they're gonna drive up.

And then we're gonna get out

with the briefcase.

-Okay.

-Yeah.

How do I look?

You look like a drug dealer.

[Cosmo] Good.

[Laughs]

-Are they coming or not?

-Oh, would you relax?

They said that they're coming.

They're on their way.

You know, f*ck it, man.

Once I get this cash,

I'm gonna get me a gold watch.

Hmm. I deserve it.

What happened to investing

in a legit business?

[Cosmo] Sometimes you gotta

treat yourself, man.

All right? And there's gonna be

plenty left over for business.

All good?

[Cosmo] Yeah.

[Billy] Where are these guys?

[Cosmo] I don't know.

They should be here by now.

[Car alarm blaring in distance]

I don't like this, man.

There you go. That's them.



You ready?

Yeah.

Okay.

Let's roll.

[Sighs]



-What the f*ck are they doing?

-Man, I don't know,

but shut the f*ck up

and act natural.

You must be Cosmo.

The one and only.

This is my associate.

Is it in there?

Up the line.

It's good sh*t.

Tested it myself.

[Man] Yeah? Huh.

-Hmm.

[Man] You all right, buddy?

I'm good.

Good stuff.

-How much you want for it?

-Fifteen.

I don't think

it's worth more than 7,500.

[Cosmo] Well, 12 then.

[Man] You know,

I can't go that high.

Well, f*ck it, 10.

-You got 10.

-Great.

[Man] Ten.

[Police siren wails]

Hands on your head!

Hands on your head!

[Police siren wailing]

[Panting]

[Police siren wailing]

[Grunts]

[Officer] Stop resisting!

[Panting]

[Indistinct radio chatter]

[Woman] 13-A, 61, 13-A, 61.

This a TAC 2 for 13 Victor 6.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Woman] Now you can hug him,

but you have to wait

until he comes over here, okay?

[Gasps] Daddy!

[Sighs]

You look great.

Has she been behaving?

[Woman] No major incidents.

Nothing major?

Hazel, what have

you been putting

this poor woman through?

-Nothing.

-Nothing. [Laughs]

I found a flower outside

I wanted to give you,

but they said

I couldn't bring it in.

It's okay.

I'm just happy I get to see you.

Me too.

Are they taking

good care of you?

[Hazel] I share a room

with two other girls.

They're okay.

[Woman] Why don't

you tell your dad

about your art projects?

[Hazel] I got to paint,

and I painted a picture

of a big house

with you and me in it.

[Woman] She's quite

the artist at her age.

I can't wait to show you.

I can't wait to see it.

I bet it's beautiful.

[Hazel] Do you have bunkmates?

-Just one.

[Hazel] Are they nice?

Um, he doesn't say much to me.

We keep to ourselves.

Wish he didn't smell

so bad, though.

He's a little stinker like you.

-I'm not a stinker.

-You say that,

but I know different.

What else have you been doing?

[Hazel] The other night,

we baked cookies

and had a movie night.

But we're not allowed

to watch TV

the rest of the time.

What kind of cookies

did you bake?

Chocolate chip, obviously.

Obviously.

You let them have

that much sugar?

Oh, they only get

one cookie each.

-You getting outside much?

[Hazel] Oh, yeah.

We go out to

the playground to play

with all the other kids

in the neighborhood.

I met one kid who's

missing 3 fingers.

3 fingers?

[Hazel] And then we have school

and then recess.

My teacher Ms. Simpson

is really nice.

Oh, what do you do there?

[Hazel] We do puzzles.

We paint the outside

of the wall with soap water

because it disappears

and doesn't ruin anything.

Do you like the other kids?

Have you made some new friends?

Okay. Well, tell me about them.

[Hazel] My friend Sally told me

her dad works at the hospital

-and works on people's brains.

-Wow.

[Hazel] And my friend Hector

shared his candy with me once

-at lunch one day.

-Oh.

They sound like

some good friends.

I can't wait to meet them.

Miss you.

I miss you too.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Birds chirping]

[Man] You Billy?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

I'm Rick. Follow me.

No fighting,

no biting, no drugs,

no drinking, no messing

with other people's stuff.

Curfew's 10:00 p.m.

You'll be required to show proof

of your job search.

This is you. You're top bunk.

Remember, no bullshit.

Follow the rules

and we won't have any problems.

-Okay?

-Mm-hmm.

[Machine whirring]

[Sighs]

[Judge] Rise, please.

In the case of 7-year-old Hazel,

you are the biological father

and parental evidence of such

has been registered

with the court?

Yes.

[Judge] What is your current

living situation?

I'm living in a group home.

[Judge] Are you employed

or looking for work?

I'm still looking.

Before I can release

the child to you,

the court has to determine

that doing so

would be in the child's

best interest.

The first step toward that

would be finding employment

and a suitable living situation

for the child.

The child will remain

in state custody

until those requirements

can be satisfied.

Do you understand?

I do.

[Judge] It is so ordered.

The court

will reassess in 6 weeks.

[Indistinct chatter]

You okay, sweetie?

Why don't you join

the other kids?

What do you see out there?

Yeah, it's not a very

exciting street, huh?

I know you miss your dad, honey.

But you'll see him again, soon.

I promise.

Oh, it's okay. Come here.

-[Sobs]

-You let it out.

-Hey, how's it going?

[Man] All right.

How are you doing?

What can I do for you?

Well, I saw your help

wanted sign in the window

and I have a resume here

if you're, uh, still hiring.

[Man] Oh. Yeah,

I can take that.

Great.

Okay. Yeah. We'll give you

a call if we're interested.

-Okay. Appreciate your time.

-Uh-huh.

[Billy] Hey, man.

Are you--are you hiring?

Nothing?

Thank you.

-Hi.

-What can I do for you?

I didn't wanna bother you

but, uh, I was just wondering

-if you're hiring?

-Oh, we're always hiring.

-[Telephone rings]

-Great.

-Uh, can I give you a resume?

-For sure.

-I'm Billy.

-Paula.

-Nice to meet you, Paula.

-You as well.

I will make sure this gets

into the right hands.

Okay. Have a great day.

[Paula] You too, Billy.

How would you say

you handle stressful

or, uh, pressure situations?

I like to think I keep cool.

My philosophy is that

panicking never helped anyone,

it only makes things worse.

But keeping a cool head is,

it's important to me.

Great. The marketing

position is entry level,

so, um, you'll

have to learn quickly.

Uh, can you walk me through

your technical skills?

Well, I've always been good

with phones, apps,

and what have you,

been on computers

since I was a kid,

so I can learn

software pretty quickly.

What is it about sales that

attracts you to the position?

I like working with people

and helping them

find what they need.

And what do you do

when you're not working?

Um, I like to spend time

with my daughter.

-Oh, yeah?

-Yeah.

-How old is she?

-She's 7.

What's her name?

Hazel.

[Woman] Cute name.

-Thanks. [Chuckles]

-Yeah.

Okay. I have

kind of a silly question

that I have to ask you

because it's something

that I ask everyone.

I think it's reflective

of a person's character.

If you were an animal,

which one would you wanna be

and why?

-It's a great question.

-[Chuckles softly]

Um, you know,

I guess if I was an animal,

I would wanna be

a butterfly.

Yeah.

I've always admired

the transformation they undergo

from caterpillar into

a beautiful, delicate creature.

It's miraculous really.

-Thank you for answering that.

-Sure thing.

All right, Billy, I--I think

that's all I have for you today.

It's been a pleasure

speaking with you.

Do you have

any questions for me?

Uh, only that, um, I'm wondering

how much you like working here.

I--I really like the culture.

I think the management

is really supportive

of their team

and I feel cared for.

That's important to me.

[Dog barking in the distance]

[Paula] Hey, Billy. It's Paula

with Central Marketing.

I have good news for you.

We'd like to extend

an offer of employment.

Give us a call back when you can

and we'll take it from there.

Congrats, Billy.

Oh, yeah.

[Cell phone vibrating]

Can you, uh, give me a sec?

-Hey.

[Paula] Hey, Billy, it's Paula

again with Central Marketing.

-How's it going?

[Paula] Not good, I'm afraid.

Your background check

came back and it was flagged

for your criminal record.

We need to rescind the offer.

I'm sorry.

I understand.

Thank you for the call.

[Paula]

No problem. Good luck, Billy.

Yeah. Thanks.



[Indistinct shouting]



-Guy with the resume.

-You got a sec?

[Man] Uh, look,

if it's about the job,

I haven't made a decision yet

about which candidates

-I'm gonna bring in, so...

-Yeah. Uh, about that.

All right. Uh, I gotta open up.

Just wait here,

I'll come back and get you then.

Okay.

[Door open, closes]

-Okay. Come on back.

-Great.

-Seat, if you want.

-That's okay. I--I don't, uh...

I don't wanna take up

too much of your time.

All right. Well, like I said,

we've got a lot of candidates

for the sales position,

so it's just gonna

take me some time

to sort through all of them.

Can I level with you?

[Man] Sure, why not.

I just got out of prison

and I need a job to get

my daughter back from the state.

I'm at the end of my rope

and I don't know

what else to do.

I'm a hard worker. I'm honest.

I'll do whatever it takes,

but I need this job.

If I don't get her back soon...

they're gonna take

my parental rights away

and I'll never see her again.

Well, why should I help you?

I mean, I don't know you.

You walk in off

the street asking for a job.

I mean, why shouldn't

I hire somebody else for it?

Because I need it

more than anyone else.

That means I'm gonna

work harder than anyone else.

You can count on that.

What were you in for?

Misdemeanor drug charge.

[Man] Nothing violent?

No, sir.

[Sighs] Well,

your honesty is refreshing.

There's too many

f*cking liars in this town.

[Chuckles softly]

Yeah.

-Here, come on in.

-Thank you.

Sure.

So the place comes furnished

or not, whatever you like.

-Feel free. Look around.

-Thanks.

Let me know if you have

any other questions.

Yeah, will do.

How are the neighbors?

Neighbors are fine except

there's one guy down the way.

-Yeah. Yeah.

-He gets a little noisy.

So is it just you?

Uh, no. I have--I have

a daughter.

-Oh, nice.

-Yeah.

-A little hot. AC, works yeah?

-AC does work, yeah.

I just turned it off because

there's nobody in here.

Okay.

Okay.

[Man] So, you're all set.

[Billy] Appreciate it.

[Judge] Rise, please.

In the case of 7-year-old Hazel,

the court has determined

that the biological father

has found a suitable work

and living situation

and has been verified

by the state agencies.

We will hereby

return the child to you.

Thank you, Your Honor.



[Vehicle approaching]

[Gasp]

[Chuckles] Hey, little stinker.

Oh.

Oh. You ready to go?

I have a surprise for you.

Okay. All right.

Keep them closed.

Almost there.

Keep them closed.

Your eyes closed?

Okay. You can open up.

This is all mine?

Mm-hmm.

[Chuckles]
