Dirty Dealing

Hi.

How are you?

Go guys, win some money.

Nice hit.

It's the come-out roll, you want the hard ways working?

Yes, always working. Hard ways working.

Hard ways working, come-out roll, place your bets.

11, winner, pay the line.

Yo Kora, you and Josh going to Raine's tomorrow?

Yeah, once you and Lexie was coming,

there was no getting out of it.

What's going on tomorrow? Oh, just a pool party.

With all you girls?

And a few of our equally hot friends.

Is this one of those skinny dipping pool parties?

Well yeah, duh.

The thing is since we're all so young,

hot and bisexual, it usually degrades into

a freaky lesbian orgy into the wee hours of the morning

and if we get in the mood for some dick,

we order pizza and have the delivery guy join in.

You know, it's amazing how accurate porn movies really are.

Thank you Aero, you've given me

a wonderful visual I can spank to later.

For another 100, I promise to think

of you when I'm pumping the muffin later.

Hell, I'm sharing a room with this loser.

It's worth 100 just to know he's not a fag.

Oh, how sweet.

Maybe you can help him rub one out later.

It's expensive? Yeah.

I spent 40 grand on that a year ago.

Now it's worth 100. Wow,

100 grand for a painting.

Yeah, crazy huh?

But I've spent a lot more since then.

I have a Chagall,

Manet,

a couple of Picassos. I heard of him.

Did ya?

I think that's my favorite one.

I'm not sure why but I think

because it's the first one I ever bought

and I remember thinking someday,

I'd have a collection of original

artworks to fill up my whole house.

This is a great office.

So do you really own the whole casino?

Yeah, I sure do.

I made some wise moves over the years.

What can I say, I'm a genius.

That is so fucking cool. Yeah baby, it sure is.

We should go over to my place because

I have some really amazing things.

I bet you have a huge house.

Oh yeah, it's like

tremendous. Is it a mansion?

Yeah.

Wanna go for a ride?

Let's go.

I have to be home by one, otherwise my dad will freak.

So why don't you tell me what you

did in school today, do you have any homework?

Well, we had a multiplication test today.

I'm pretty sure I did good on that

and Laura got sent to the principal's office

for throwing paper towels on the bathroom ceiling.

Mom. Yes, honey?

All your friends are really cool, but

sometimes I wish dad was around, too.

Yeah, me too honey, sometimes.

But when I think of what it'd be like having dad around,

it's not really him I don't think.

What do you mean?

I mean, when I think of him, it looks

like him but he's nicer than I remember.

What do you remember?

I remember him yelling a lot and you crying a lot.

But I don't know if that's how it really was.

Yes honey, that's how it was.

Which is why when I miss him, it's not that I want him back.

I just wish he were a different person,

a better person like you.

Maybe he's a better person now.

I wish that were true but it's not how it works.

I was kind of hoping he'd show up for my birthday but

I guess I kind of knew he wouldn't.

He's never coming back, honey.

But it's got nothing to do with you.

All the decisions he makes are about him.

Some people are just like that.

You're not like that, you're the best mom in the world.

I'd like to think so.

Besides, it's easy when you have the best kid in the world.

I bet you'd never miss my birthday.

Never, I'll always be there for you, you know that right?

I love you, Josh.

Come here, give me a hug. I love you, too.

Ouch mom, you're crushing me.

I never hear you complain when

Lexie gives you a big squeeze like that.

She's gonna be there, isn't she?

She'll be there. We gotta go back inside.

Why? I forgot something.

What? You'll see.

How many other girls are gonna be there?

Thank you, Josh. Hey guys.

Okay, this was totally his idea.

Thank you.

I was only gonna get one for you but

I didn't wanna hurt their feelings so I got them one, too.

That's just sweet.

Do you wanna go swimming?

Throw him.

Hey, what's under your arm right here?

It's nothing. Are you sure?

Yeah.

Hey, there's something under his arm.

Lemme see.

Come here. It's nothing.

What is it? It's nothing.

Let me just... (SPLASH)

You're a troublemaker.

Uh-oh.

How's a going in there, sport?

This is too cool! This is the best game ever.

Damn girlie, you must be way desperate to be

using a PlayStation to lure guys to your place.

What, you got a thing for virgins now?

Are you saying there's any in town you missed?

No, it's Mike's.

He's playing some game of only remembering it's here

around midnight, it's been here for four months.

He's trying to get a booty call out of the deal.

My goodness, in my opinion, after it's been

abandoned for four months, it's officially yours.

I'm not quite ready for that yet but if it happens,

Josh can have it. Shh, not so loud.

I don't want him to get his hopes up.

Okay, who's hungry? Ooh, I am.

Josh, food's ready.

Got room in there after all those sodas?

I got room for more hugs. Oh.

How adorable.

Little Josh. That's good.

Yes yes yes, yes.

It's leukemia, Kora.

But we've found it very early.

We're actually lucky I think, all things considered.

We can get a handle on this, really we can.

He can't die, he's all I've got.

He's not gonna die.

Jesus Christ, he's only eight years old.

Hey, honey.

Hey!

How's it going, guys?

Hey, what's the word from Kora?

They get back from the place in Colorado tomorrow

and they caught it in time but he's definitely

gonna have to have a bone marrow transplant.

Jesus, I heard that's harrowing.

It is, but they have a donor already.

What?

That's amazing, I thought that would be the hard part.

It is but they put his information in

the database and they found somebody right away.

That must be such a relief. Yeah.

Things are really coming together right.

Still, it must be fuckin' scary for Kora.

Yeah, I mean when I found out, I could hardly sleep.

I can't imagine what she's going through.

Raine. Yeah?

Are you on your break?

That's just where I'm headed.

Well maybe you can head there a little faster.

Or can you not go that fast in those second hand

80s stripper shoes without falling flat on your face?

Oh hey, do you want me to get you

some more cake if there's any left?

Nevermind, I can see you've had plenty.

Bitch, take your break and if they implement

a dirty whore curfew in the next 20 minutes,

I'll call you and let you know.

Well young man, how would you feel about coming back

in a few weeks, see if we can make you all better?

Really?

Everything is good, Dr. Buttu was right.

We caught it very early and that

often makes a world of difference.

Oh my god, thank you, thank you, that's amazing.

Thank you.

Thank you so much, thank you.

Oh my god, baby.

Friday's my last day.

How long you gotta be out for?

Probably two months.

The transplant itself isn't the hard part.

It's that he's gonna have to have chemo before and after.
