HELLO, HELLO, HELLO!

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING.

AAH!

HEY, BABY, WHERE'S THE BREAKFAST

AT?

CURTIS, IT WILL BE DONE...

AS SOON AS YOU MAKE IT.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT,

BABY?

JUST 'CAUSE I HAD A HEADACHE

LAST NIGHT DON'T MEAN YOU GOT TO

BOYCOTT BREAKFAST.

I TOLD YOU I HAD TO GO TO THE

HELP CENTER EARLY THIS MORNING.

YEAH, HOW ABOUT I NEED YOU TO

CENTER YOUR HELP WITH ME AND MY

BREAKFAST?

BABY, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR

HANDS? I GOT TO GO NOW.

LOVE YOU. MEAN IT.

NO, YOU DON'T LOVE ME.

GET BACK AND MAKE MY BREAKFAST!

GET BACK HERE!

"POUR," AS IN "PLEASE POUR

ME A GLASS OF JUICE."

POUR.

POUR.

P-O-U-R.

GOOD JOB! VERY GOOD!

NO, BAD JOB, BAD JOB.

WHO DRUNK ALL MY JUICE?

NOW I CAN'T POURANY JUICE.

[ CHUCKLES ] SORRY.

C.J., YOUR CHILD IS A

CRUMB-SNATCHING, JUICE

DRINKER-UPPER.

[ LAUGHS ]

POOR.

POOR -- THIS IS DIFFERENT --

DEFINED AS "HAVING LITTLE OR NO

MONEY," POOR.

OH, I GOT IT! I GOT IT!

I GOT IT! I GOT IT!

CAPITAL C-J.

HEY.

OH, MALIK, THERE YOU ARE.

MAN, WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG

GETTING READY?

I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH WHAT YOU

GOT ON?

DAD, THIS IS STRAIGHT FROM

THE CLEARANCE RACK.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A GATOR,

NOT A GECKO.

JUST BE THANKFUL YOU HAVE

CLOTHES.

YOU GUYS ARE SO --

CHEAP.

C-H-E-A-P.

[ CHUCKLES ]

THAT WAS ON MY SPELLING LIST.

MM-HMM.

MM-HMM. [ CHUCKLES ]

[ CHUCKLES ]

HI.

HEY!

HEY, LITTLE BABY.

HOW WAS SCHOOL?

WELL, I GOT AN "A" ON MY

SPELLING TEST.

OOH! THAT'S EXCELLENT!

HOW ABOUT YOU, BIG FELLOW?

IT WAS AWFUL.

UH-OH. WHAT'S WRONG, MALIK?

I TRIED TO TALK TO THE CUTEST

GIRL IN SCHOOL, AND SHE REJECTED

ME, ALL BECAUSE I WAS WEARING

THE LATEST IN NO-NAME BRANDS.

FORGET HER!

IF SHE DON'T LIKE YOU FOR YOU,

THEN YOU DEFINITELY DON'T NEED

HER.

RIGHT, BECAUSE THERE ARE

PLENTY OF KIDS WHO WOULD LIKE TO

WEAR WHAT YOU'RE WEARING.

THEY MUST NOT GO TO OUR

SCHOOL.

I MEAN, YOU SHOULD HAVE HEARD

THE NAMES THAT THEY CALLED HIM.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WHAT'D THEY CALL HIM?

WHAT NAMES?

WHAT'D THEY CALL HIM?

"GEEK."

OH, THAT'S COOL.

"NERD."

OH, YEAH.

"CORNBALL."

CLASSIC.

"LOSER."

"DWEEB."

NO, THEY DIDN'T HIT HIM WITH

THE "DWEEB"!

THEY DIDN'T HIT HIM WITH THE

"DWEEB"!

UNCLE CURTIS, NO.

NOBODY CALLED ME NO "DWEEB."

I JUST DID JUST THEN.

ANYWAY, DAD, COME ON.

I'M TIRED OF BEING BROKE.

CAN I PLEASE GET A JOB?

FOR WHAT, BOY?

SO YOU CAN KEEP UP WITH THE

JONSES?

NO, SO I CAN KEEP UP WITH THE

KEVINSES.

I DON'T KNOW, MALIK.

MALIK, ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE

READY FOR A JOB?

YES, I'M READY FOR A JOB.

OH, PLEASE.

YOU'RE NOT EVEN READY FOR YOUR

CHORES, LET ALONE PICKING UP

YOUR SHOES.

[ CHUCKLES ]

'CAUSE YOU DON'T PAY ME TO PICK

UP MY SHOES.

SEE?

THAT'S EXACTLY THE KIND OF

THINKING THAT MAKES ME THINK

YOU'RE NOT READY.

DAD! DAD. COME ON, DAD.

KEVIN'S DAD LET HIM GET A PAPER

ROUTE.

WHY CAN'T YOU?

I'M NOT KEVIN'S DAD.

THAT'S RIGHT.

THAT'S RIGHT, DAD.

YOU AREN'T KEVIN'S DAD 'CAUSE

YOU'RE BETTER THAN KEVIN'S DAD.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU'RE A HARD WORKER.

YOU SUPPORT FOR ME AND JAZMINE.

YOU THE MAN, DAD!

YOU THE -- YOU THE MAN!

C.J., DON'T YOU FALL FOR

THAT.

EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU ARE NOT THE

MAN.

ALL RIGHT, SON.

YOU CAN HAVE THE PAPER ROUTE.

YES.

SUCKER!

AS LONG AS YOU KEEP YOUR

GRADES UP.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS, DAD.

I'M GOING TO CALL KEVIN NOW.

MALIK, MALIK, COME HERE.

COME HERE AND TALK TO YOUR

UNCLE.

YES.

I'M PROUD OF YOU.

I REMEMBER WHEN I GOT MY FIRST

JOB.

I WAS 11 -- NO, 11 1/2

MONTHS OLD.

I CAN HEAR MY MAMA'S SWEET VOICE

CALLING OUT TO ME NOW --

"GET UP!

"GET UP AND GO TO WORK,

YOU LITTLE BASTARD!"

SO I'D HOP UP WITH MY LITTLE

BOOTIES ON.

AND I'D HOP AROUND THE SIDE.

I HAD TO THROW MY FEET OVER THE

GATE AND COME UP LIKE THIS.

AND I'D RIDE TO WORK, AND ON THE

WAY TO WORK, THERE WAS A RIVER.

I'LL NEVER FORGET IT BECAUSE I

BUILT THAT RIVER WHEN I WAS 6

MONTHS.

AND IN THAT RIVER THEY WOULD

HAVE BAPTISMALS.

SO I'M TRYING TO DRIVE THE TAXI

THROUGH THE RIVER, LEECHES ALL

OVER MY BODY.

I HAD TO SHAKE THEM OFF.

AND THE PREACHER SAID, "COME ON,

SON!

HELP ME BAPTIZE THESE PEOPLE!"

I SAID, "BUT I ALREADY GOT A

JOB!"

HE SAID, "YOU CAN HAVE ANOTHER

ONE IF YOU BELIEVE!"

I HAD TO PUT THE WATER IN THAT

RIVER.

I HAD TO CARRY WATER FROM A

FAUCET THAT THE SCHOOL HAD BY

HAND.

AND I HAD TO PUT THE WATER IN A

LITTLE HOLE IN THE GROUND IN THE

RIVER, AND NOW IT'S A FULL

RIVER.

[ CRYING ]

PLEASE, JUST LET IT REST.

HOW ARE YOU, BABY? HOW WAS WORK?

IT WAS -- IT WAS ALL RIGHT.

GOOD.

JANINE.

YEAH?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

[ Chuckling ] NOTHING.

[ CELL PHONE RINGING ]

NOTHING IS WRONG, OKAY?

I'M -- I'M -- EVERYTHING IS

GREAT. WORK WAS GOOD.

EVERYBODY'S HAPPY.

WHERE'S MY PHONE, BEFORE IT

STOPS RINGING?

YOU JUST KIND OF TRIPPED

RIGHT THERE.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I-I'M GOOD.

OH, OKAY. THE HEELS.

OOH!

HELLO?

WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW, HUH?

YES, I'M SORRY.

[ LAUGHS ] SORRY. YEAH.

I'LL BE -- YEAH, I'LL BE THERE.

I'LL BE THERE. I SAID I'LL --

[ CHUCKLES ]

EVERYTHING OKAY, BABY?

FINE. JUST FINE.

THAT WAS MY GIRL AT WORK, AND,

WELL, SHE CALLED BECAUSE SHE WAS

LOOKING FOR A FILE THAT -- I

FILED IT WHERE I FILED IT, AND

NOW SHE CAN'T FIND IT.

SO I HAVE TO UN-FILE IT SO SHE

CAN FILE IT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE

FILED AND --

CAN'T WAIT TILL MONDAY, HUH?

NO. NO.

WHY PUT OFF FOR TOMORROW WHAT

YOU CAN DO TODAY, RIGHT?

SO I'M GONNA GO AND...

I'LL SEE YOU LATER, OKAY?

MM-HMM.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

OKAY, IS IT ME, OR IS SHE

TRIPPING?

OH, IT DEFINITELY AIN'T YOU.

I THINK SHE'S ON THAT STUFF

AGAIN.

SHE'S ON THAT STUFF, ELLA.

AND NOW I GOT TO GO HIDE MY

STUFF...

FOR, ELLA.

I LOANED IT TO JANINE.

JANINE TOLD ME SHE DIDN'T

HAVE NO MONEY.

I TOLD YOU -- DéJà CRACK.

AND I BELIEVED HER WHEN SHE

SAID SHE WASN'T USING.

WAIT A MINUTE.

NOW, THERE MAY BE AN

EXPLANATION, OKAY?

SHE'S BEEN DOING TOO WELL.

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER

OF ADDICTION, ELLA.

AND, CURTIS, DO NOT BE SO

QUICK TO JUDGE.

LET'S JUST ASK HER -- HMM? --

BEFORE WE JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS.

JANINE, WHAT YOU DOING WITH

WAIT. COME HERE.

JANINE, COME ON, BABY.

WE NEED TO TALK RIGHT QUICK.

COME ON, NOW. HURRY UP.

WE'RE NOT GOING THROUGH THIS

JANINE, ARE YOU GETTING HIGH

WITH BLUE?

NO, I WAS TRYING TO GET RID

OF BLUE, OKAY?

HE WANTS THE REST OF HIS MONEY.

DIDN'T YOU JUST GIVE HIM SOME

MONEY?

ONLY A LITTLE BIT.

HE WANTS ALL OF IT.

SO, ALL OF THE MONEY THAT

YOU'VE BEEN TAKING FROM ME

YOU'VE BEEN PAYING BLUE?

YEAH.

SO, WHY YOU DIDN'T JUST SAY

SOMETHING?

BECAUSE I'VE PUT THIS FAMILY

THROUGH ENOUGH ALREADY.

TRUE THAT. TRUE THAT.

I WANTED -- I JUST WANTED TO

FIX THIS ONE ON MY OWN,

YOU CAN'T FIX IT ON YOUR OWN.

HE'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR YOU.

I'M GONNA HANDLE IT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

C.J., WAIT A MINUTE.

NOW, YOU WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN, OKAY?

I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET, BUT YOU

NEED TO THINK THIS ONE THROUGH.

AIN'T NOTHING TO THINK.

HE PUNCHED MY WIFE IN THE FACE,

AUNT ELLA. LET ME GO.

SHE'S NOT YOUR WIFE.

SHE YOUR BABY MAMA.

I MEAN, TECHNICALLY.

YOU AIN'T GOT TO GO FIND THAT

MAN, C.J.

HE'S BEEN HERE BEFORE.

TRUST ME. HE'LL COME BACK.

AND, CURTIS, I DON'T WANT

THAT CLOWN COMING BACK IN HERE,

ENDANGERING MY FAMILY.

LET'S JUST CALL THE POLICE,

SOMETHING TO GET RID OF THIS MAN

ONCE AND FOR ALL.

ALL THE MONEY.

WHY DON'T WE DO THAT?

WELL, WE CAN'T GIVE HIM THE

MONEY, AUNT ELLA.

IF WE GIVE HIM THE MONEY, HE

JUST GONNA KEEP COMING BACK.

I GOT IT.

I GOT IT!

WHAT, BABY?

I DON'T KNOW WHY I DIDN'T

THINK OF IT BEFORE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY WE DIDN'T THINK

OF IT BEFORE!

WHAT?

LET'S JUST GIVE HIM JANINE.

JUST HAND HER OVER.

"HERE, SHE'S YOURS."

[ CHUCKLES ]

THE SIMPLEST THINGS ARE ALWAYS

THE SIMPLEST THINGS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE.

RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE.

LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK,

LOOK, LOOK, WILL YOU STOP --

WOULD YOU STOP PACING?

I'M SORRY.

I JUST WANT THIS TO WORK, OKAY?

OKAY, SO, YOU TOLD BLUE THAT

WE WERE GONNA HAVE HIS MONEY

HERE, RIGHT?

YES.

AND YOU TOLD HIM TO BRING

SOME DRUGS?

YEAH.

WELL, THEN WE'RE GONNA BE

FINE.

DRUGS!

CALM DOWN. CALM DOWN.

[ LAUGHS ]

LOOK, UH -- LOOK, BLUE, WE

DON'T WANT ANY TROUBLE, OKAY?

AS LONG AS YOU GOT MY MONEY,

AIN'T GONNA BE NONE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M DOING

THIS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M MAKING THIS

DEAL WITH YOU!

WAIT, THIS IS FOR BOTH Y'ALL?

YEAH, IT'S FOR HER, TOO.

YO, YO, WHAT'S UP?

I LIKE HOW YOU THINK.

[ LAUGHS ]

YOU DID HAVE A CHOICE.

MR. BLUE, LISTEN, DO YOU

UNDERSTAND?

DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU PUT OUR

FAMILY THROUGH?

WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD

TO THIS.

YOU GOT HER HOOKED ON DRUGS,

TURNED HER LIFE UPSIDE DOWN!

MISS -- WE'RE -- WE'RE

REALLY -- WE ARE REALLY EXCITED

ABOUT MAKING THIS HAPPEN HERE.

WHOA, WAIT A MINUTE.

IF HER HUSBAND WAS A REAL MAN,

SHE WOULDN'T HAVE CHOSE ME OVER

HIM.

WELL, LISTEN, MR. BLUE.

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME.

CAN WE JUST FOCUS?

AND DON'T UNDERESTIMATE MY

POWER.

HA!

LOOK --

MM-HMM.

LOOK, LET'S JUST DO THE DEAL.

OKAY, I'M FOCUSED.

WHAT -- YOU GOT THE DRUGS?

HE GOT 'EM.

HERE'S THE MONEY.

THAT'S IT?

THAT'S WHAT?

OH, GOD, THE DRUGS ARE ON THE

TABLE!

OHH!

YOU SET ME UP?!

HEY, GET OVER HERE!

ARE YOU DEAF?!

I SAID "FREEZE!"

[ CRYING ] YEAH.

LESLIE SHACKLEFORD.

WE'VE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME

FOR THIS.

LESLIE SHACKLEFORD?!

HA!

YOUR MAMA NAMED YOU LESLIE?

DON'T WORRY.

I'LL BE BACK IN NO TIME.

NOT WITH ALL THE CHARGES WE

HAVE AGAINST YOU, YOU WON'T.

COME ON. MOVE. GO.

[ SIGHS ]

LADIES, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

ALL YOUR HELP.

NO, OFFICER, THANK YOU FOR

GETTING THAT BUM OUT OF OUR

LIVES.

NOW, GET THESE DRUGS OUT OF MY

HOUSE.

I DON'T WANT MY HUSBAND TO SEE

THEM, AND I DON'T WANT TO TEMPT

ANYONE.

THAT MONEY BELONGS TO ME.

THANK YOU.

YOU SURE?

OFFICER, DON'T PLAY.

[ CHUCKLES ] OKAY.

[ CHUCKLES ] OKAY. YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY.

YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY.

THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, FOR ALL

YOUR HELP, ALL RIGHT?

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO

PAY YOU BACK, EXACTLY, BUT --

CASH.

IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP BLUE IN

JAIL, I'VE DECIDED TO TESTIFY

AGAINST HIM IN COURT, SO...

JANINE.

I'M REALLY, REALLY PROUD OF YOU.

I MEAN, IT TAKES A REALLY BRAVE

PERSON TO DO THAT.

THANKS.

[ CLEARS THROAT ]

CURTIS, I WAS BRAVE TODAY, TOO.

THAT WAS STUPID.

WELL, GOOD NIGHT.

CURTIS, I WANT TO GO TO BED,

TOO.

GOOD NIGHT, BABY.

YOU MAD AT ME?

NO.

[ TELEPHONE RINGING ]

HELLO?

YES.

AH.

I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT, BUT I'M

NOT SURPRISED.

OKAY, THANK YOU. GOOD-BYE.

MALIK, COME ON OUT HERE.

YES, SIR?

THAT WAS YOUR JOB JUST

CALLED.

THEY SAID THEY DECIDED TO LET

YOU GO.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE,

MALIK.

MOST PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THEIR

MORNING PAPER DELIVERED AT

NIGHT.

BUT I WORKED MY BUTT OFF.

WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE WORKED

YOUR FEET OFF AND DELIVERED THE

PAPERS ON TIME.

OBVIOUSLY DELIVERING PAPERS

IS NOT YOUR THING.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S

NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE NOT

GOOD AT.

BUT I REALLY WANTED THOSE NEW

KICKS.

[ SIGHS ]

DWEEB.

I LOVE THAT WORD.

IT JUST -- THAT WORD, IT JUST

SUMS IT.

[ GROANS ]

UGH!

WHOO, THERE'S TOO MUCH DRAMA FOR

ME.

I'M GONNA GO FOR A LITTLE WALK.

YOU WANT TO GO, NEPHEW?

OH, NO, I'M COOL.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WHAT THE HELL?!

NO WONDER HE LOST HIS JOB!
