What do you want?
I wanna be rich.
And do you know what I want?
Yes.

The sins of the father
will be paid for by the son.
Your time starts now.
What's up, man?
Anybody here from Australia?
Whoo!
All right.
I love that country.
I was there a few years ago on tour.
Here's a song I wrote
when I was there.
Doing good.
I told you he would.
Yeah, he's doing well.
So when are you going to tell him,
or you just gonna keep dropping
those big tips?
Better this way.
Ain't trying to get all up
in your business,
but, man, he should know.
The only thing he should know
is that he has got a job.
As long as that's the case,
the fat envelope is gonna keep coming.
Oh.
What?
No!
Time is running out, James.
No.
Where to, mister?
Drive me until it runs out.
Rough night?
Something like that.
Well, you're welcome
to take a nap if you needed to.
It's been six days since I slept.
Six days?
I made a bad deal.
Hello?
Hey, I just need
a little bit more time, please.
Can you pick me up, please?
You got kids?
Sure.
You?
No.
I mean, yeah, but it's, it's weird.
We don't talk.
Never did.
I'm no good
He didn't even know me.
Now, what now?
Have you run out of time?
What you say I should do?
Well, whatever happened
between you two,
let it go.
Let him go.
You can't fix what you already done.
Wait for me.
keep your money.
I already got plenty of your mone.
I'll wait.
So for now, you got time.
Hey, we got anybody here
from Australia tonight?
Here's a song I wrote
when I was there.
You sure about this?
Yeah
Fuck it
kids been running more
people out there than in lately.
Yeah.
More than usual.
This is the last envelope.
A little bonus for everything.
Yeah, um, I'm gonna go take a piss.
Let him down easy.
Crowd sucked tonight, huh?
Crowd sucks every night here.
Well, I got something new
that I'm working on
for next time.
You know I love you, Terrence.
There ain't gonna be no next time.
Barely play a set anymore
with those hands.
Come on, Mike.
You got to help me out, man.
I'm really cooking up something new.
Help you out?
I've been helping you out.
Look at you now.
You do too many drugs.
Your band left you.
And you barely play the keys anymore.
Get yourself cleaned up,
maybe we'll talk again.
Mike, I'm not a junky,
it is for the pain, man.
Uh-uh.
Ain't my problem.
It's just for the pain.
Hey.
Come on, man, I got a kid on the way.
Sorry, Terrence.
A drink?
Sure.
Tough set?
you can say that.
Not that it matters much anymore now.
How's that?
Big Mike let me go.
Yeah.
I heard a little bit of that.
And, uh
What's wrong with your hand?
Arthritis, carpal tunnel,
some shit like that.
And maybe all of that.
I know somebody
who could help you with that.
Can't afford no doctors anymore.
This ain't no regular doctor.
What do you mean?
Come here.
- Easy.
- Whoa!
Hold tight.
Hold tight.
All righty.
Hey.
Easy.
- Get in.
- No, you.
- And you.
- Easy.
He's gonna take you
where you need to go.
But you're not coming?
No.
I'm going to catch up.
You're in good hands.
Oh. Okay.
Take him there.
Hey, what do you know about that man?
Mr. James?
Yeah.
He made some bad deals.
Well, this is where you get off.
I ain't the smartest, but
I know there ain't no doctors here.
Now, just go inside.
You'll find your way.
Hmm.
Wait.
No.
Welcome.
Wait.
What?
Wait.
Wait.
What are you?
I am the Giveman.
Giveman?
Wait.
You?
You look just like him.
It's a wonder but you never noticed.
All those tips he left you.
Mr. James?
Your father came to me
all those years ago.
My, my father?
The sins of the father
are paid by the son.
Deals were made for payment,
Terrence.
You can't do this.
I got a kid on the way.
Perhaps we can make a deal.
Anybody here from Australia tonight?
Oh, man, I love that country.
I was there a few years ago on tour.
Here's a little something
I wrote while I was there.
