D'Angelo comes back down the stairs to the party, a box of liquor in his hands, only to see that the party's broken up. Wee-Bey and Stinkum are watching TV, the latter lying on his stomach on the floor like they're having a sleepover or something. Little Man lumbers over to the couch. D'Angelo asks what happened to everybody, and Wee-Bey mutters that the "party broke." D'Angelo complains that the party broke up in the time he was out getting more booze, but the guys have turned their attention back to basketball coverage on TV, and D'Angelo crabbily puts the box on the bar, whereupon he glances into a doorway and sees a naked stripper on the bed, his face turned away from him. "What's with her?" asks D'Angelo. "Oh, fucked her silly -- what can I say?" says Wee-Bey cheerily. The other guys laugh. D'Angelo slowly moves into the bedroom, looking with some alarm at her splayed-out limbs, as we hear Wee-Bey adding, "She snorted half the shit we brought up in here, too, that greedy bitch." As D'Angelo's view of the girl pans up to her face, it's clear from the slack in her face that she's not just passed out, but just in case, he puts his hand in front of her face to feel for breath, and then turns her head, which flops loosely to the other side. D'Angelo slowly backs out of the room, not taking his eyes off the girl: "Yo, Bey." Wee-Bey blearily looks back. D'Angelo, alarmed, looks meaningfully into the room, and back to Wee-Bey, who rolls his eyes like, "If it's not one fucking thing, it's another." D'Angelo looks from the girl back to Wee-Bey again, apparently frozen in horror.
