Previously on The Riches.
- Pete.
- And where the hell is my best friend, Doug Rich? - You can't bribe Pete.
- I have to try.
What did you do with Pete? You-You killed him.
I hit him, and then- But he fought back.
You smashed his skull in with a hammer! - And I feel real bad about that.
- What if someone comes looking for him? You said he didn't have any friends.
- He's got a mother.
- I didn't even think about his mother.
- [Dahlia.]
What happened with Pete? - [Sam.]
Did he take the money? He's fine.
Everything's all right.
Pete went home.
Look at this.
Bayou Hills.
It's the deal of a lifetime, Doug.
A hundred and fifty million.
And you cash in on 13 million.
- Thirteen million dollars? - All we gotta do is be the Riches for a few months.
Deal closes, we cash in, check out and adios, just like any other con.
[Eamon.]
So what do you got for me? I got Wayne Malloy wrapped around my little finger.
Bollocks.
Wayne Malloy would never give you that job.
He's not stupid.
- [Gasps.]
- Jesus! I want you to tell Wayne to get me a job at Panco or you're going back to prison.
- So that's our new mail boy, huh? - Guess so.
- I'm scared all the time.
- Of what, darlin'? I don't know.
I just got a feelin' somethin' bad's gonna happen.
Holy mother of shit.
It's Eamon Quinn.
- I think you oughta leave.
- Little Ginny Dannegan.
It's my fault that Dale could do this to us.
I'm Dahlia Malloy, and I'm, uh- I'm a parole violator.
You heard I was cool? Yeah.
Mark said you were cool.
- Mark who? - Mark from the A.
A.
Mark from the A.
A.
? Yeah, he said you understand how life could get real complicated.
And, um-Well, see, my life is real complicated.
I, um- I d- I didn't check in with my parole officer before I left Alabama.
You got out of jail when? - Three months ago.
- [Scoffs.]
But I wanted to get in touch with him.
I did.
L-You see, my husband, he's a drinker.
And he left me when I was in jail, and he took my kids, and- Well, I've-I've been looking for him ever since, here in Louisiana.
And I was desperate, because my son, he's- Well, he takes a medication that my husband, he doesn't accept.
You know, he's in denial that my child is very, very sick, that he has- He has cancer.
No.
He has- He has a real rare blood disease.
It's when your immune system turns on your blood.
Called? - Jesus Christ.
I'm so sick of the bullshit.
- No, no.
N-No- It's called- - It's called hemoblastonoma.
- Clark! - Yeah? - No.
Come on! - Parole violator.
- No.
- Outstanding warrant.
- You can't do this! I'm honest! I came here of my own free will.
You can't do this to me.
I want a lawyer! You do now, huh? For what? So he can look up "hemoblastonoma"? - [Handcuffs Clicking.]
- The one thing I hate is when somebody looks me in the eye and bullshits me.
Because it disrespects me.
- I didn't mean no disrespect.
- Don't even start.
! Jesus Christ.
I wish one of you people had the guts to look me in the eye and say "You know what? I screwed up.
"Not because my kid was sick or my mother was dying but because I'm a lowlife, and screwing up is what I do!" [Scoffs.]
"And I'm sorry.
" I am sorry! It's just what I am.
I wanted to tell you the truth.
I swear to God, on Jesus on the cross, I wanted to tell you the truth.
I was just scared to.
I just want a chance.
You know? Change my life.
And I want to stop lying.
[Sniffles.]
But it's really- It's damn hard to stop lying.
[Sobs.]
And it just- It eats up your soul and it destroys you and it destroys everyone around you who you love.
[Exhales.]
Shit.
[Sucks Tongue.]
You got 24 hours.
Okay? What's it, uh, 6:42? You got till 6:42 tomorrow to get your skinny ass a real job and a real place to live with written proof and references I can visit in person.
You can show up at that job for a month maybe I'll take over your file.
Thank you, Officer.
You won't regret it.
You don't call me in 24 hours with a job and a place to live I'll send your mug shot out to every cop in Louisiana and you will be hunted down.
- We clear? - Yes, sir.
[Handcuffs Clicking.]
[Man On Radio.]
Roughly eight percent of the 3,000 public school teachers in St.
Tammany Parish leave every year so hiring 250 to 300 new teachers is quite routine.
- But this year the parish has a few critical needs.
- [Groans.]
Oh- Nationwide, there's a shortage of special education teachers so we're gonna be targeting that area- [Continues, Indistinct.]
Aw, hell.
Dahlia, you are a moron.
[Wayne.]
Gentlemen, this is the right plan.
We invite- Wayne! people for this opportunity.
- Wayne? - Considering our relationship with the mayor's office - we are going to secure- - Wayne.
Jesus Christ.
You scared the shit out of me.
I gotta talk to you.
I didn't hear you come in last night.
Well, I was at Hugh's till almost 1:00.
Just gettin' ready for that investors' meeting? Yeah.
And- Kinda.
He thinks that Gi Gi stole his mojo.
Had to try and talk him into the idea that his mojo was actually in the deal.
I thought they had investors for like a hundred and fifty million.
Out on the golf course.
Apparently they haven't signed yet.
So, I was up all night trying to memorize Now I gotta go in early so Aubrey can drill me - on the Growth and Conservation Act 2006- - Wayne, I gotta talk to you.
Okay, so I did somethin'stupid.
Oh- I mean, it came from a good place.
I think you'll understand, but I'm just- This parole thing is just hanging over my head and I've been thinking I'm sick of being scared.
L-l-l-There nothin' to be scared of.
- Can we talk about this when we get to work? - We're gonna talk about it now.
- Can't talk about it at work.
I'm not goin' to work today.
- No, no.
No, you're going to work today early in case something goes wrong.
- What? - This is the setup to the whole deal.
Dahlia, we need to do this together and I can't do it without you.
Dad, there's a security guard out front.
He's real pissed off about Cael's tent and fire.
What? Okay, that- I need to talk to you.
- The hell is going on? - Hey.
Uh, I'm really sorry but unauthorized bonfires are prohibited by the homeowners' association.
Cael, what's with the tent? He doesn't want to live in the house anymore.
[Sighs.]
Talking to you, Cael.
Cael, why are you living in a tent in the yard? - He thinks the house is stealing our souls.
- It's just that Rule Five of the homeowners' code, um, prohibits unsightly yard structures.
You see, Cael? You're breaking Rule Five.
Take down the tent.
Holy shit, he's obeyin' Rule Five.
Take the tent down, Cael.
I am about to nail the biggest deal of my life, and I do not need this shit from you because I am working my ass off, okay, and I have put everything on the line for this family.
All right.
Thanks, Cap'n Crunch.
- We got it from here.
Okay? - Okay.
What is your problem? Haven't you caused enough trouble around here? Jesus Christ, Cael.
The world does not revolve around you! [Alarm Chirps.]
Ho! Just the man I was lookin' for.
You were right, Doug.
I got in bed last night, and I did not get in bed alone.
[Chuckles.]
Hey there, sugar tits.
Ooh, built like a brick shit-house.
Mm-hmm.
Got in bed with this smokin' hot deal memo.
So the deal talked to you, huh? Hundred and fifty million dollars.
You were so right, Doug.
I started to think about just how big a number a hundred and fifty million really is.
Felt some action right in my pants.
I mean, nothin' makes you hard like knowing you're about to gross more money than the G.
D.
P.
Of half a dozen shit-bag African countries.
Am I right? [Chuckles.]
Just like you said, Doug.
Right? - [Whispering.]
I never said that.
- Nobody steals my mojo.
- Nope.
- You do your due diligence on our investors? - [Elevator Bell Dings.]
- I did, and I'm a little worried about Minkov.
- Why? He's in for 40 mil.
- Exactly.
He goes squirrelly and bails on us, we're up shit's creek.
No, no, no.
He's not gonna bail.
His goddamn ambulance company's being investigated for misuse of Medicare funds.
Which I'm also a little worried about.
- He could be laundering money.
- So? So I'm just saying he's Russian.
When we get in there, don't go all Hugh on him.
"Don't go all Hugh on him"? What the hell is that supposed to mean? That means don't piss him off.
Well, now why would I piss him off? His money's real, and he needs us.
Ambulance company got a lot of bad press.
They dumped some homeless lady out on the street.
Well, that's great.
We'll pitch him that this deal will be great press for him.
You know? Because we're gonna revitalize the community.
Create jobs, growth, opportunity.
He'll be a local hero.
- That's good.
- [Woman On Phone.]
Mr.
Minkov is here.
- He'd like to see you before the meeting.
- All right.
All right.
Come on.
Let's go put the screws to that Russki mother.
Okay, let's see what we have here.
Ah, so you've been convicted of a felony.
Oh, yeah.
It was just a white collar thing.
You know.
I did some time.
It was just two years in jail.
Yeah, l-That could- Should I not have checked that box? I just wanted to be honest and up front with y'all 'cause my parole officer will be calling, and, you know- Is it gonna be a problem? Yeah.
It's just, uh- Well, my boss kind of has a bug up his ass about criminals.
I'm not a criminal.
I've been rehabilitated.
Yeah, he worries y'all might relapse near the cash register.
How am I supposed to live an honest life if the minute I'm honest on an application, you won't hire me? - Sorry.
- Oh, you know what? I don't wanna work here anyhow.
Know why? 'Cause your macchiato's got too much goddamn foam in it! There he is! There he is! Ha, ha! Ho! [Both Laugh.]
Felix, you son of a bitch.
Whoa! You give me the tongue, I'll wring your neck.
- Hugh, Hugh.
Never stop being an asshole, please.
- [Both Laugh.]
Felix, I want you to meet my partner, Doug Rich.
Pleasure.
Pleasure.
Oh, I heard so much of the famous Doug Rich.
Well, I wouldn't believe everything that Hugh tells you.
Hugh? Nah.
No, no, my partner, Barry Stone.
Uh, he's stuck in traffic.
He's gonna be here any minute.
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
- Barry Stone? - Yeah.
- Barry Stone? - Oh, yeah, Barry Stone.
Now, where on earth- But, uh- - Princeton.
- Princeton.
- Princeton, class of'85.
- Oh, my God! Pr- Class of'85.
Oh, my God.
Barry Stone.
- All right.
All right.
Let's get this thing started.
- Okay.
[Hugh.]
Oh, ho.
Small world, isn't it? Goddamn.
What you doin'? Nothin'.
- Hey, why aren't you in school? - I came home.
I'm droppin' out too, I decided.
Don't be an idiot.
You love school.
You love having friends and studyin'.
Those stupid standardized tests.
I'm not lettin' you leave, Cael.
[Exhales.]
So let's just- let's go somewhere.
Except we don't have any money.
Let's bump into some housewives at the mall, make a couple hundred bucks easy.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess.
Um- I just don't want to steal.
That's okay.
You know, we'll do a Molly Brannigan.
- Come on.
You always loved doin' Molly Brannigans.
- In Edenfalls? Yeah.
In Edenfalls at the mall.
Okay.
What do you mean I'm not in keeping with your corporate image? Juggs is a very specific brand.
- Ooh.
- Hey.
Thanks, Erin.
[Chuckles.]
Uh, but theJuggs girl is wholesome and all-American.
She's, uh, bubbly and outgoing.
She's the cowgirl next door.
And a, uh, hardened convicted felon is way off-brand.
I'm not a hardened convicted felon.
I'm the cowgirl next door.
Not according to this.
You know, I committed one crime.
One.
I stole some money on a fake piece of plastic, I did my time and you're telling me that I'm not good enough to flash my tits - at some moron eatin'a hamburger? - [Cell Phone Buzzes.]
- [Wayne.]
Where are you? - Geez, I'm comin' in.
Would you keep your hair on? We got a situation here.
One of these guys went to Princeton with Doug Rich, and he's on his way here.
Wayne, I gotta talk to you.
I got a serious problem.
No, I've got a serious problem.
I've called Sammi and he is going through Doug's stuff to see if he can find anything on this guy.
But I need you to be here to distract him long enough till I can figure out who he is.
[Sighs.]
Shit.
Okay, um- I'll be in in 10 minutes.
I thought you said you were on the inside.
[Dale.]
I am in.
I'm in the nerve center.
So where's Wayne Malloy, huh? You said you were gonna bring him to me.
I am.
I am all over his ass.
But you can't even get into a goddamn meeting.
It's a- [Sighs.]
It's a very high-level meeting with billionaires and such.
You know what I hate, Dale? When somebody feeds me a line of shit.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Uh- I'll pull a few strings.
I'll get in.
I am in the loop.
As we all know, in 2005, Hurricane Katrina laid waste to the great city of New Orleans.
Whole parts of the city are still in ruins.
Now it's time to rebuild.
Want to talk about our vision, Doug? Absolutely.
So, what we are planning is a development that will be a tribute to its Louisiana heritage.
Not just houses and a golf course, but an actual town center that will be an exact replica of the French Quarter.
Except not in New Orleans.
Exactly.
We are making a new New Orleans right here in Ducaine.
It will be called Bayou Hills.
Two hundred acres of brand-new houses starting at $1.
2 million.
[Felix.]
Excuse me, Doug.
Uh- Now, you cleared up the problems with the zoning permits, right? Hundred percent, Felix.
[Clears Throat.]
We got clearance to build on a former state park.
Pristine real estate.
All we have to do is make 10% of the homes affordable housing for the Katrina refugees.
Obviously, they'll have their own parks and pools.
The point is, we are helping people here restart their lives.
We're not just making money.
We are revitalizing an entire community.
- [Woman.]
Go right in.
- [Felix.]
Oh.
! It's Barry.
- Barry? - Yeah.
Excellent.
I have some legal documents that I'd like everyone just to check out.
They're on my desk.
I will just get them and be back- right back- for Barry.
- Excuse me one second, gentlemen.
- There you go.
Thank you.
I'm very sorry.
I'm dead.
He's comin' in- the guy from Princeton.
Oh.
How well did he know Doug? Well, let's hope it was a big class.
Okay, hey, I gotta talk to you about somethin'.
Um, I'm in kind of a situation, and I gotta find another job.
- What? - Well, no-no.
I know it sounds bad.
But I'm really trying to get us out from underneath this thing.
- I keep thinking, if I just get clear of this parole violation- - Are you crazy? With the biggest deal in our lives about to blow up in our faces? Okay.
You better focus here.
This guy can bring us both down.
- All right? - Okay.
All right.
[Typing.]
Shit.
"Barry Stone, C.
P.
A.
'" "Barry Stone, dermatologist.
'" "Barry Stone, C.
P.
A.
" "Barry Stone for all your sewage needs.
" Sammi, give your mom everything you got on Barry Stone.
- Hey.
- L-I can't find anything.
- Oh, sh-What about a yearbook? - "Princeton Univers-" Well, I don't see one.
What about a newspaper, Sam? Like a Princeton newspaper.
Like- Keep lookin'.
What the friggin' goddamn hell are you doin'? Minkov's reamin'my ass on legal technicalities and Barry Stone is gonna lose his shit if he doesn't see his old friend Doug.
Now get your ass in there and reconnect.
- Here's the Dougmeister.
- Hey! Barry.
- Doug? - Oh, my God.
You look completely different.
L-I'd have never recognized you.
- [Both Laugh.]
- [Barry.]
Hey.
- Hi, Hugh.
- [Wayne.]
Oh, my God, we must be getting old.
- River oflife, man.
- [Barry.]
Why, yeah.
I might have- I might have lost a few hairs and put on a couple of pounds of- l- l-You do not at all Iook like you used to look.
- No.
- I mean - didn't you used to be kind of- - It's a rug, man.
Be cool.
Oh! [Stammers.]
- So I'm not completely senile, I mean- - No.
Yeah, I remember you 'cause you-you, uh- The police got you.
I cannot believe you have the gall to bring that up.
- No.
- How was I supposed to know she was just 15? No.
No one knew.
It was- She looked 40.
Yeah, well, at least I wasn't known as the campus coke dealer.
No, you weren't.
No.
I was.
Th-This is boring the shit out of everyone, so, uh- - It's good to see you again.
- Yeah.
- So excellent.
- Yeah.
On with the deal, gentlemen.
Rock and roll.
- [Laughing.]
- Onward.
- [Chuckles.]
- [Felix.]
Jesus.
Fifteen? - [Wayne.]
Let's do the deal, gentlemen.
- [Barry.]
Yes.
- [Men Murmuring.]
- [Barry.]
She was-She was-She was 18.
Absolutely.
I've got no problem with raw fish.
No.
Yeah.
Well, there is one thing that I should tell you- that I should clear up.
In the, uh- In the recent past, l-I was convicted of a crime and I did spend some- Oh, then you know how it is.
Huh.
Well- Oh, thank you.
Thank you, Travis.
That's great.
Yeah.
Uh- Well, I can come by tom- Now? Well, n- now's not such a good time.
Right.
No, m-my personal life's not gonna be a problem.
No, I promise.
Nah, I'll be there right away.
So that about covers financing.
Are there any questions? - [Clears Throat.]
- Yeah.
I would like to know exactly why these deal papers make no mention of applying for C.
D.
B.
G.
's or U.
S.
E.
D.
A.
's.
Hugh? Doug, that's your arena.
Yes.
Sorry to interrupt, gentlemen but I thought you'd be interested to know that we have fresh brewed coffee available in the coffee room.
Thank you, Dale.
- Mmm.
- You may go.
- But it is an excellent idea.
- Is that the handyman? Yes, he's part of our program for hiring people of, uh- of little worth, wherewithal- He's, uh, right though.
There is coffee there, so if we want to break, we can get a nice brewed coffee.
- Roast.
- Doug? - Yes? - C.
D.
G.
B.
's- I'd like an explanation, please.
Yes.
I think that's important.
- Um- - [Cell Phone Buzzes.]
I am so sorry.
Someone's calling me.
God, this is terrible.
Um, C.
D.
G.
B.
's.
They don't apply to parkland, Barry.
You can't, uh, make application.
It's the Community Development Block Grant- can only, uh, apply to pre-existing communities, I think you'll find.
- I see.
What about an H.
A.
P.
? - You're putting me through my paces now.
H.
A.
P.
's.
H.
A.
P.
's.
They are a different kettle of fish 'cause you've got to be a, uh- a 501 -C3, as you'll know.
- 501 -C-What? - What the hell does that mean? - What does it mean? Sounds like a pair of jeans.
- [Beeps.]
But it, in fact, is a registered nonprofit.
- [Clicks Tongue.]
Not us.
- [Men Murmuring.]
You're not a lawyer, are you? No, I'm not a lawyer.
You're a lawyer.
No.
Yes, I am.
- But I know people who aren't.
- [Woman.]
What's he talking about? Oh, wait.
Well, no, no.
You don't cut the head off first.
You cut the fin out first, and- and then you rip the guts out.
- I thought you said you knew fish.
- I do.
I just- I find it easier if I cut the head off first to get to the guts.
You cut the head off first, the whole fish falls apart.
Here.
Here.
Don't screw up.
Okay, I won't.
I swear.
So, um, you've done some time, huh? Yeah, it was just a white collar thing.
- Two years.
- [Knife Clangs.]
It was a maximum security prison.
Very overcrowded.
Lot of fights.
[Exhales.]
As a matter of fact, I knocked somebody's teeth out once with a cafeteria tray.
Been there, done that.
Okay, so, um, you can have the graveyard shift.
No benefits, no overtime.
You don't show up, you're fired.
You call in sick, you're fired.
You come late, you're fired.
[Clears Throat.]
So you live near here? Nah.
I'm lookin' for a place.
Yeah, well, there's a vacancy in my building.
Guy- Guy down the hall from me passed.
- Yeah, you probably whacked him.
- Okay, know what? Why don't you just shut your mouth? All right? Disrespectful mother- I'm trying to help the lady out here.
Welcome to the team.
~ Ma'am, did you never hear ~ ~ Of pretty Molly Brannigan ~ ~ In truth then she left me ~ ~ I'll never be a man again ~ ~ Not a touch on me hide ~ ~ Will the summer sun e'er tan again ~ ~ 'Cause Molly's left me ~ ~ A lonely guy ~~ Thank you.
- Oh, shit.
- Just don't make eye contact.
Oh, my God.
This is so sad.
They're begging.
Thanks, bitch.
I'm a little concerned about our tax liability once the Section 8 housing is eliminated.
Well, that's a nonissue.
We're not gonna eliminate the affordable housing.
- Doug, let's cut the bullshit, okay? - This is not bullshit.
The city would never give us public land unless we make 10% of it affordable housing.
- Shit, 15% of our funding is from FEMA.
- Yeah, I know, I know.
I read the deal memo, but we had a verbal understanding, right? - What verbal understanding? - See, the thing- Nobody paying a million dollars for a house is gonna want to live near poor people.
The low-income housing will have its own area.
- Stop the bullshit, Doug.
- I can show you the blueprints.
Doug.
Doug.
I might have forgotten to mention a minor detail which is that, uh, you're right, Felix.
We had a verbal agreement that the construction will go in three phases.
Phase One- we build the luxury homes.
Phase Two-we sell all the luxury homes.
And then the rich Phase Two homeowners band together and rule out Phase Three.
So, actually, Phase Three never happens.
'Cause you're right, Felix.
Nobody's gonna pay a million bucks to live cheek by jowl with the Phase Three element.
- [Wayne.]
You did kind of forget to mention that.
- Uh, yeah.
Oh, the city will be yellin' and screamin'.
There'll be lawsuits up the wazoo.
But our legal team will handle that.
Right, Doug? Hey, hey.
Just wanted to make sure we're clear on the terms of the deal.
- You know? Right? - We're clear.
Are we clear on the terms of the deal? Can you, you know, guarantee no Phase Three, Doug? Yeah.
No Phase Three.
- Let's sign the deal.
- [Hugh.]
All right.
! - [Laughter.]
- I got a couple cases of champagne on ice in the atrium.
- How 'bout we crack 'em open? - [Felix.]
I thought you would never ask.
Doug, this guy named Chet has called for you twice.
He's looking for someone named Pete Mincey? [Door Closes.]
- Thanks for saving my ass in there.
- You're welcome.
I quit.
No, no.
H-Hang on.
J- Just give me- Just give me a couple minutes.
Just- Yes, I know, I know.
I had problems passing the bar exam- I don't give a shit that you're not a lawyer.
Okay? Lfigured that out a long time ago, but I didn't care.
I liked you.
In this whole crazy, sick place, you were the only person who seemed real.
Right.
Well, if it's any consolation, my son thinks I'm an asshole too.
Do you even get what just happened in that meeting? This is fraud, Doug.
Or Wayne.
Or whatever the hell you call yourself.
And you are using the tragedy of thousands of people as a cheap trick to make money.
- No- - And then you're screwing those people.
No, we're not screwing them.
We will build the affordable housing.
- Don't bullshit me, Wayne! - No, no- I'm not bullshitting you.
We are bullshitting the investors.
That's what you do in a deal.
You say whatever you want to say in order to close the deal then you do what you wanted to do in the first place.
Tha-That's sales.
That's what you do.
You know that.
Why should I believe you? 'Cause if I don't build it, then you can turn me over to the cops.
And because I need to believe me.
Hey, better come to the party before Hugh drinks all the champagne.
- All right.
Okay.
- [Door Closes.]
- L- - [Door Opens.]
Forty, 60.
One, two, three, four, five.
Sixty-five.
Probably get to a hundred, you stop eatin' those five-dollar frozen yogurts.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
You don't want to do this anymore.
Let's get something to eat.
No, I do.
I want to.
Oh, come on.
Like I care what those buffer assholes think.
- Never used to.
- [Chuckles.]
[Laughs.]
Ah, shit, Di.
Come on.
[Sighs.]
I can't do this anymore, Cael.
- Hey, look.
It's okay.
- No, it's not.
Cael, I want it to be like it always was.
- It can be.
- No, Cael.
It can't.
Why not? Why, 'cause I hate it here? 'Cause I like it.
[Sighs.]
I got an English paper due tomorrow.
I gotta go home, so- Let's not do good-byes, all right? I hate good-byes.
It's not like I'm not gonna see you again.
[Baby Crying.]
~ [Music In Background, Faint.]
So he O.
D.
'd? - Yeah, right there on the Barcalounger.
- Hmm.
Was watchin' Survivor.
Kind of a cruel twist of fate if you ask me.
You can keep the chair if you want.
And the toaster oven too.
But I hope you heard me loud and clear.
No turnin' tricks here.
I told you.
I'm not a hooker.
I'm not here to judge.
I just don't want no trouble.
Ain't gonna be no trouble.
My application.
- Okay.
- License.
"Dahlia Malloy.
" That's a real pretty name.
Yeah, I always thought so.
Well, I hope you're happy here, Dahlia Malloy.
Lance was.
Maybe that was just the crack talkin', huh? [Chattering, Laughter.]
Thank you.
Huh.
[Whispers.]
It's all right.
- What makes you hard, Barry? Hmm? - What? Mmm? What turns you on? What floats your boat? Huh? Hookers? Huh? Car? - Underage girl? - Oh- - [Laughs.]
- [Forced Laugh.]
- Gentlemen.
- Oh, Felix, uh- Mmm! Barry, drink up.
Drink up there.
- Look at all this champagne I got here.
Come on.
- It's beautiful.
- [Hugh.]
Havin' fun? - [Barry.]
Yeah, just great.
Thank you.
[Groans.]
Hugh's having fun, huh? - Hugh likes money.
- Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
You'll cut him out of the deal.
What? Doug, you'll be so betrayed when you find out he's been embezzling.
[Scoffs.]
What the hell are you talking about? Relax, Doug.
Relax.
After he goes to jail, you and I will split the profits.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Just after we, uh, sprout wings and fly to the moon.
- Got it.
- Okay.
Or-Or maybe, uh- Maybe I should rip off your goddamn rug! Ooh! Oh, my God.
- That's a very high-quality toupee you've got here, Doug.
- [Groans.]
You Americans make the best - fakes ever! - [Grunts.]
Now, you think I couldn't tell you never went to Princeton, you prick? My partner may be stupid, but I'm not.
Now, I don't give shit who you really are, Doug.
For me, you're a guy who knows how to make money, like me.
So you'll set him up, and we'll split the profits.
It's a win-win.
Okay? [Groans.]
~ [Disco.]
Except for Hugh.
Huh? I'll take that as a yes.
~ [Continues.]
[Line Rings.]
- [Man.]
Yeah? - Yeah, this is Dale Malloy.
Quinn said you'd be expecting my call.
Well, if you're gonna bring your man in, I got the numbers you need.
All right.
- This is Officer Devereaux.
Leave a message.
- [Beep.]
Hi, Officer Devereaux.
This is Dahlia Malloy.
I'm, uh, just leaving you this message 'cause it's, uh, 6:30 and so you don't have to put out that warrant for my arrest because I'm working in the kitchen at Rudy and Flo's Fish Shack and I'm livin' at 206 Mayfield, Apartment 5E.
That's all true.
Okay then.
I guess I'll be hearing from you.
[Line Rings.]
- ~ [Disco.]
- Dahlia? Dahlia, where the hell are you? Oh, baby, thank God.
Listen.
You know I told you about the, uh- my friend who knew the parole officer? Well, it's great because- Jesus Christ, Dahlia.
For the love of God do not tell me that you've been talking to your parole officer.
No.
Um- I just think if we could do, you know, one honest thing- just one thing that we know is true, Wayne.
Dahlia, parole is the tip of the iceberg here.
You know that.
We are committing a list of crimes here as long as my goddamn arm.
We do not want to involve the law.
Right.
Okay.
How was your day? Fine.
[Breathing Heavily.]
Dale is worming his way into all the meetings.
Hugh is drunk off his ass.
And, uh, I think I just screwed a whole bunch of Katrina victims out of their future.
I love you.
Yeah, I love you too.

"A nd haven't you your own land to visit,' continued Miss Ivors "that you know nothing of your own people and your own country.
"' What in the hell is that supposed to mean? It's from The Dead byJoyce.
You've never heard ofJoyce? 'Course I have.
She's one of my favorite writers.
You gotta get educated, Ginny.
- That's how they keep you down.
- [Scoffs.]
Like you ever been to third grade.
Bachelor of arts in English literature - master's in philosophy, University of Phoenix.
- You've never been to Phoenix.
Phoenix come to me right there in the state pen.
Such is the power of the Internet.
It's a new world, Ginny.
