How It All Goes Down
Ben Day—January 2, 1985 8:38 p.m.
- Trey confronts Runner at the bar, and Runner immediately starts groveling, saying he doesn't have the money he owes him.
- Runner doesn't even recognize Ben, his own son, although he blames his oversight on Ben's new hair color.
- Trey wants to know where all Runner's money is.
- Runner says that his ex-wife hides money all over the place, and they should go get it from her.
- Trey threatens him, saying that he better have the money by the next night.
- Before they leave, Ben tells Runner he got Diondra pregnant. Runner says, "I doubt it's yours" (23.56). This is one instance we might actually agree with this loser.
- Ben is very angry in the car. "Someone should fucking die" (23.63), he says.
- Trey has an idea and drives somewhere, but he won't tell Ben where he's going.
