Crash

This guy from my old job at the strip mall is here.

He said his mother gave you a donation for byzantium?

- The kid wants his money back. - My mother gets carried away sometimes

And unfortunately she donated money that we don't have.

This project, the city we're gonna build,

It's gonna help everybody across the board.

You ask me, the homeless deserve what they got.

I'd like you to give this to your mom for me, would you?

Kenny: You could have gotten yourself carved up

Out there today, you understand?

And considering it's my job to protect you, that shit lands on me.

I have been touched by god.

He won't let anything happen to me. Not until I build my city.

Listen, I think you're crossing a line here,

And I honestly don't know if I can support it.

I'm gonna take jonas dixon down.

I'm not about to let a false prophet

Come between me and god's work.

And if you can't handle that...

There's the door.

- ( sitcom on tv ) - ( laughing )

Mom, that guy-- the puny guy, what's his name?

Jon cryer.

I can't wait till charlie catches him in the lie. That's gonna be funny.

When he catches him in the lie it's gonna be hilarious.

What? I thought you loved this show.

I love my evenings in the office

With my dinner and my shows.

I thought that's what we were doing.

I like it, bo. I like having a little time to myself, that's all.

Oh, I just thought that you wanted to watch tv with me--

No, I'm not telling you you have to go.

But could you not ask so many questions?

And maybe not laugh so loud?

Okay?

Man on tv: Think of it this way: Suppose you like banana cream pie.

Kid on tv: I do like banana cream pie.

- Good. - Do we have any?

- No. - Then why'd you bring it up?

I was trying to tell you something about sex.

What does pie have to do with sex?

Thank you.

So what's up?

The owners are opening

Another hostess club in san francisco.

I've decided to make the move and run the new place.

Oh, that's great. Good for you.

Which means someone needs to step up and run club 27.

You're the only girl for the job, inez.

What's wrong? It's a promotion.

You'd be the new boss around here.

No, I know and I-- I really appreciate it.

I just, um...

I just have a lot of things on my mind, that's all.

- Man: Shauna! - Excuse me.

Just give me a loaner and I'll pay you back after my shift.

I don't do loans or layaway with my coke, deedee.

- You pay, I supply. - How about a handjob?

I'll give you a handjob, you give me a discount.

That's a great offer. It's tough to pass on that, deedee.

Look, are you gonna buy this or what? This is my last eightball.

Enjoy.

I am clean out! Picked over like a dead carcass.

The girls are like vultures for the sugar.

And that roxanne chick? Good riddance.

She really had a good thing going here.

I made more money tonight than I made in a month.

Cutting shauna in for part of the profits was genius.

I knew that deep-voiced bitch was low on cash.

Times are dicey, you know? The biggest mistake we made, inez,

Was not moving in on this gold mine forever ago.

Jimmy, not now, please.

What a surprise-- you're in a bad mood.

I'm never getting out of here.

Am I?

I mean, I'm gonna

Keep blowing all my money and I'm gonna be stuck

Working here--

Not for six months like I planned,

But forever, and--

I have no one to blame but myself.

I fucking hate this place.

This place is paradise.

Yo, ben?

I got an idea.

I say we roll a call into that p.I.-- Chuck urmas--

Have him stake out gavin buckley's place for us.

The guy's gotta go home at some point.

You all right?

No, I'm not all right.

Buckley's apartment-- well, you were there. You saw

Manson all over his walls.

I mean, we're dealing

With something sinister here, anthony.

Fuck that manson stuff, man.

Look, rich kids collect all kinds of weird shit.

And the guy, man--

He killed a bunch of people decades ago.

Yeah, it's fucked up, I know,

But people get wiped out all the time.

What city do you live in?

It's the 40th anniversary of the charles manson murders.

It's all over tv. It's in the press.

You know, these murders withstood

The test of time for a reason.

You google manson and see how many websites,

How many articles come up.

It wasn't just

The people that were slaughtered that night.

It was the spirit of an entire generation.

The next day we were still wearing our love beads.

But we were also

Going in and buying guns for self-protection.

Well, I get it. So it's on people's radars.

No, it's not just on buckley's radar.

He's obsessed

With charles manson.

That apartment of his was like a temple.

It was a shrine to evil.

That's what we're up against.

That's what we're chasing--

Evil.

Pure fucking evil.

Hey, what's wrong?

- It didn't go well? - Oh, I wouldn't know.

- I wasn't in the meeting with him. - That's weird.

- I thought he included you in everything? - He has.

Up until now. According to seth,

I'm having a crisis of faith.

Meaning what? In byzantium?

In his ability to walk on water, I guess.

Seth: May I have everyone's attention, please?

People, I know you're busy. This'll only take a minute.

I know how hard all of you have been working.

Well, today all your sweat and effort has paid off.

As you all know, this morning I met

With the l.A. County board of supervisors.

And because of the petitions, phone calls and rallies you've organized

The board has agreed to hold a special session

- Tomorrow. - ( applause )

- Way to go, seth! - All right, blanchard.

Don't get too excited yet.

They're holding a vote to decide whether or not to grant us

The permits we need to build byzantium.

There's no guarantee they're going to vote in our favor,

Which means we need to keep the pressure on.

We need more signatures, more phone calls.

The board needs to know the constituents who put them in office

Want this city built.

We're almost there. Let's bring it home.

God bless you all.

It was a long hard morning. Thank you very much.

Just couldn't help yourself, could you, seth, huh?

Had to get godin there somewher.

Wendy: It sounds like a wonderful idea.

Are you sure you wouldn't be too bored?

Of course not. I'm looking forward to it.

Terrific. So am I.

- Just remember to wear your suntan lotion. - Right.

Hey, you got back awfully fast.

Yeah, the line was short today.

Bo, this is louis eigenberg.

- He's an accountant. - Nice to meet you.

Well, thanks for stopping by, mr. Eigenberg.

It was my pleasure. Enjoy your lunch.

So what did he want? 'cause we can't afford

To hire an accountant. You know that, right?

Oh, relax. I didn't commit to anything.

He was offering, you know, one of those free consultations.

You didn't get anything for yourself?

Naw, I'm not hungry.

So listen, mom,

They are doing a big bingo tournament at the burbank elks club tonight.

- Really? - Yep.

I know you used to go all the time with dad and I thought it could be fun.

We can close the shop down early, grab a bite

And play some bingo. We'll split all our winnings right down the middle, okay?

- Bo, that is so nice. - Yeah, I knew you'd like the idea.

But not tonight. I have plans.

What kind of plans?

Someone from the church-- mrs. Hannan--

She lost her husband about three months back

And I promised I would have dinner with her because she's lonely.

Next time though, okay?

Yeah, I guess, but I thought we could do something tonight.

Bo, they play bingo every night of the week.

Jeez, when did you get to be so needy?

We are loaded up with snow, baby,

Not to mention I got a 10% discount.

More treats for you, more profits for me.

- Champagne, waffles, it's all gonna-- - ( tires squealing )

- What are you doing? - I'm getting the fuck out of here.

That could be the cops, the feds or some shit.

Jimmy, we're not getting into a high-speed chase, okay? No way.

You're right. They've probably got this whole neighborhood covered.

Fuck. I got no luck, man.

I got zero fucking luck in this world!

- Could you fucking relax? - Yeah, all right. Just be cool.

- Is there a problem, officer? - Oh, you think I'm a cop?

I fucking hate cops. I'm bauer lermontov.
