Ooh, what's wrong, right [I don't understand this very well, sounds almost like "ride"] clothes for inhibitions? / You couldn't afford the price of admission. Now the girl in this scene is wearing black body-fitting clothes. So is the guy telling her the clothes are not just for looking and she responding 'You couldn't afford me'?
Yes, definitely. She's scornfully saying she's not interested in him.
He's the bounty quicker-picker-upper. They're talking about an underground fighter,
the best of the best. So he's a fights' money collector?
Well, I'm still not sure. It could just mean that he's very tough, strong, etc. Bounty brand paper towels are supposed to be so strong that they don't fall apart when you wipe up spills with them. There's an expression "to wipe the floor with s/one" which means to beat them up and/or defeat them utterly, so that may be referenced as well.
Okay, what you know about me can fit in the crack in my *ss. Very little?
Yes.
[this makes no sense but it definitely seems to be "Colin Powell,"] come on, now, I'd do the same for you. The guy he's talking to looks like Colin Powell. Is that it?
Yes, that makes sense.
...you gotta give action to get it. This has something to do with the purse money because
that's what they're discussing at the time. So maybe you gotta fight real hard to get money?
Perhaps something about putting some money down or otherwise taking a risk? "You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet," that kind of thing?
...even if they win they are gonna take a beating. Meaning they still won't have
enough money?
Out of context, I thought this meant they would be literally physically, painfully beaten. That they might emerge having won money but bruised and battered.
He's just protecting his position. His authority?
Yes.
What am I doing with a guy like Reno? What'd he pawn back there? What did
he coerce you with?
No, it sounds like he went to a pawn shop and got money for something. Look up "pawn shop" if you dont' know what I mean, but surely this a global business concept :)
The herd is thinning. They are out of opponents? No one wants to fight him.
yes.
Ah, they just don't want their knee caps stomped. Lose money?
Again, I thought this was a reference to the fighters experiencing physical pain, but it could also be money.
He's probably at Trip's. Is this a place or a friend's name?
You tell me. :) Sounds like a friend's name though. It's a common way to refer to what the French (or so I was taught) use chez for. "I'm going to stop by Bill's on my way home," etc.
Healthy people only take enough. They are suffering enough? Sick people take a lot more.
Um, I think this means the energy, time, etc. that people routinely give and take with their friends.
But out of context I'm not sure.
...take it up the *ss trick-style? Take a good beating? Or he's just calling names?
I wasn't sure about this. He could be referring to a particularly degrading beating. "Trick" refers to the act of prostitution, in case you dont' know. Prostitutes "turn tricks."
It's about two and fifty thousand, on the low end of things. Minimum?
Yes.
...separate in my mind. Not my business?
I think he means he did not mentally associate one thing with the other.
Then I went to college and it was a blast. Pretty cool?
Yes, a lot of fun.
...come to the price of somebody else. Someone else pays the price?
No idea what was meant here, but I would guess it's the price that someone else is asking or charging.
I hear that you and [deVeltz, maybe - a name?] were [sounds like "basing." Freebasing?]
The name of the guy is Veltz. Now Reno and Veltz are not exactly friends because
Reno owes him 150 grand. So could it be 'debasing' and can that mean in bad terms?
I don't think anyone would use "debasing" in that context. Racing? Facing (some kind of slang term for planning a fight)? Sorry, don't know.
