Hey, hi, you guys.
Where are you guys going?
- We're nobody, going nowhere.
- Nobody goes nowhere.
Knock it off, we're not interested
in conversation, OK, moron?
I know you.
I love your stuff so much. I really do.
Look, if you love me so much,
go away and leave us alone.
No, look, I'm your biggest fan.
Let me go with you.
And I tell you, you gotta get off the street.
The cops know the guys that
hit the Battery are coming through here.
Shit. We've gotta get a new set of wheels.
Great, we just got rid of the old wheels.
Wonderful leadership, Cody.
What's the matter with you?
Are you looking to get run over?
- Me and my friends need a lift.
- So what? This ain't no muni bus.
- We need a lift real bad.
- Look.
Let me make it real clear. Nobody tells me
where to take my bus. You dig?
We're very flexible. We'll take you where
you want to go. You just say the word.
You folks just hop right in.
Make yourselves at home.
I'm driving.
Bird, what the hell are you doing?
Get off this bus. Oh, man.
Hey, how are you guys doing? Don't
worry, we're not gonna hurt you none.
That's great. Oh, I'm glad to hear that.
We're the Sorels. I'm Bird.
These are my associates. This is Lester.
My man BJ. And that's Reggie.
- Aren't you Ellen Aim?
- That's right. It's Ellen Aim.
Hey, Ellen, do you guys need an opener?
We're good.
- We are.
- We can't seem to get anything going.
I handle the management and the
booking. Shut up and leave Ellen alone.
- What did he say?
- I know how tough it can be.
- Baby, you don't even begin to know.
- What did I tell you guys? Cool it.
Hey!
If you've got any chance
of missing the cops, it's through here.
- Yeah, so what are our chances?
- Horrible.
- And terrible.
- That's just great.
Look, we don't want to mess
with Ardmore cops.
They busted me and threw my ass right
in jail because I wouldn't pay 'em off.
- What did they bust you for?
- Disturbing the peace.
- They said I got out of line in some bar.
- Great. I love a girl with class.
- This is great.
- You want to help change this tyre?
Changing flat tyres isn't
exactly my line of work, dear.
If that's the case,
then why don't you shut up?
(mocking grumble)
I wish I could write songs. I just can't
figure out how to do it right, like you do it.
I can't figure out how you work out
the rhymes and the melodies.
Somebody else writes the songs.
Billy buys or steals them. I can't write.
- I always thought those were your songs.
- I just sing 'em.
Yeah, but when you sing 'em, you make
it yours. That's the way it is, right?
I guess so. Who knows?
The famous Sorels sure put
a lot of money into that bus.
I didn't know you had a thing with Ellen.
You better get some smarts.
Adjust to the fact you're out of the picture.
You see, I do things for her,
things a guy like you could never do.
Things that matter in the real world.
You know, the only trouble with kicking
the shit out of you is it would be too easy.
Keep your hands off the suit, buddy.
Come on, hurry the hell up
with that flat tyre. Let's get going.
