Wiley I can't work in an office. I don't like wearing suits. I like to ride. Fixed gear, steel frame, no brakes. The bike cannot coast. The pedals never stop turning. Can't stop. Don't want to either. There are 1,500 bike messengers on the streets of New York City. You can e-mail it, FedEx it, fax it, scan it, but when none of that shit works and this thing has to be at that place by this time, you need us. Some of us get killed out here. Pedestrians are a menace. Cabs are killers. One time or another we all get hit. Sometimes we gotta hit back. And we stick together, cause most people just wish we'd get off the street. "Go get a haircut. Take a shower. Get out of the way." They have no idea why anyone would risk their lives in a death maze for 80 bucks on a good day.

Mr. Lin If you lose the ticket I cannot give you back the money. You understand? This ticket now is money... for whoever holds it. If you have problems you don't call the police. You call this number. The Hawala system settles its own problems.

Bobby Monday Hey! Hey, excuse me, messenger guy. That envelope you picked up, I gotta ask for it back.

Wilee Who are you?

Monday Forrest J. Ackerman, head of Campus Security. The woman who gave you the envelope, she's not authorized to use the school account. It's an internal matter I've been investigating. Not your problem. Can I have the envelope, please?

Wilee Yeah, the thing is, once it goes in the bag, it's gotta stay in the bag unless I hear from a dispatcher.

Monday Fine. Call him. I'll talk to him. I got the receipt right here.

Wilee Nima gave that to you?

Wiley Who are you, man?

Monday I'm the guy you don't fuck with.

Wilee Hold my log.

Monday Hey!

Wilee Have a nice day, douche bag!
