Are you out your mind? You don't just do that.

Hey,

what is going on here?

Cora, I was out there trying to electrocute Justin.

Execute him. Whatever it was, I was doing it.

Cora, your daddy just took down the health teacher. I haven't seen a tackle

that since I started coaching here. You ain't seen no tackle since you've been

coaching here. That's why y 'all sorry they never won a game and ain't gonna

never win a game because y 'all sorry.

I'm sure he had his reasons.

And my guess is he was dropped on his head as a child.

And my guess is he is with child.

When you gonna have your baby?

Officer Brown.

Huh? I just got a call from Mr. Spencer. He said that you attacked him and

knocked out his two front teeth. Mr. Brown.

At the rate that man was born, he wasn't gonna have them teeth for long anyway.

He is running a powder ring around here.

And I don't mean baby powder. I had to take him down. I started choking him

and he wasn't tapped. I tried to get him to get rid of that powder, and I poked

his teeth out. Now he whistled like that.

Mr. Brown, sounds like the man was just taking some powdered aspirin.

Oh, they still make them?

Yes.

Well, you should have said something.

Oh, shoot.

You had your foot on his throat.

Oh, that's what he was trying to say, that, oh, oh, oh.

Now that you got Mr. Spencer in traction, and there are no subs

tomorrow, now I have nobody to teach health class.

Coach Reggie, what are you doing?

Don't look at me. I got a meeting with the football coaches tomorrow.

Why don't y 'all meet in the end zone, somewhere y 'all never been?

Well, I'm free second period.

How long is Mr. Spencer going to be out?

Probably for just a few days.

Okay. You know what? That's what I love about you, Ms. Simmons. Just so kind and

helpful. A real volunteer spirit you have. I really do appreciate you. Thank

you. Hey, man!

Hey, Ricky, he's still your boss. You can get fired.

So it's settled then. Tomorrow, I'll bring the students over for health

All right. So what's the lesson plan?

Carl, I hope it's on hygiene.

Them kids should get an F for funky. You smellin' like I ain't runnin' down the

hall. I went you there.

Oh, well, put your arms down. You smell like walkin', walkin'. What the fuck? I

believe Mr. Spencer said that they were watchin' a film.

Oh, a film?

Okay, good. Curry, what I'ma do is I'ma bring us some popcorn, and I'll bring

the video camera so we can make sure we bootlegged. Mr. Bryan, you can do that.

Okay, Curry, well, I just won't bring no popcorn.

I'll see you at the house. All right. Hopefully you won't be there smellin'

your mama.

I need the Bayes and Bannery ass.

Oh, by the way, the name of the film is The Miracle of Childbirth.

Oh, what?

Childbirth is sexual education.

Hurry,

Brianna, you're going to be late.

Yeah, I'm going to be late, too.

Look, who's taking her to school, me or you?

Oh, no, no, no. She's actually riding with a boy from school.

A what?

A boy?

Will, baby, relax, okay? She says they're just friends.

Oh. Well, aren't we blessed?

A son who's a genius, a daughter who's only friends with boys she goes to

with, and this one's gonna be the next president. Shh, baby, stop it, okay? No

one's supposed to know. I don't know.

Hold on. I'm coming!

Yo, what up, fam?

Hi.

You must be Brianna's friend.

You must be B's sister.

Oh, well, you know what kind of... Uh, come in, please.

I'm Antonio, but you can call me Tone. That's my DJ name.

Oh, okay. Well, I'm Sasha, and that's Will. We're Brianna's parents.

Say hi to Tone, Will.

Hi.

Antonio.

Nah, nah, nah, man. It's tone. Like, chicka -chicka -chicka -tone.

Chicka -chicka -what?

Yeah.

Brianna!

Chicka -chicka -tone is here!

Will, don't you have a surgery this morning?

Mm -hmm.

You'll survive.

So...

You go to school with Brianna?

Nah, I just be hanging out up there. You know, like, telling jokes to the kids,

cracking some skulls. You know how I do it.

Yo, come on, man. I'm just kidding.

I'm a junior.

Listen, man.

You uptight. You need some fiber in your diet.

Come here, little girl. Um, okay.

All right.

Your little friend in here.

Excuse me. I'm bad, huh?

Your new friend needs some manners.

Okay, first of all, Will, he's not a new friend.

Me and Tony used to be in the group home together.

We go way back.

Like fried bologna and government cheese?

Yeah.

Look, we're just friends, all right? I think it's chill pill, Will.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Chill pill?

So when did you start talking like this, little Miss Salt -N -Pepa?

Who's Salt -N -Pepa?

Hi, class. I'm Miss Simmons, and I'm subbing for Mr. Spencer today, and we'll

watching a film called... Hold up, Curry. I'm coming. I'm coming in here.

What are you doing? I'm scared. All right.

I'm going to watch the movie, too.

Be quiet while the movie's on. Be quiet.

Well, I'm sure some of you know Officer Brown.

I heard he beat up Mr. Spencer.

That's just lies and full of in -your -windows.

But anyway, okay, we're watching a movie called The Miracle of Childbirth.

Are you okay? Somebody give me the hammock.

I can't watch this.

I done seen it in person and it ain't funny. Mr. Brown!

Mr. Brown, wait! You turned on my clip!

This boy too grown to be in school anyway.

Looking like somebody's dead.

Well, all right. Here we go.

Miss Simmons.

Miss Simmons.

The movie's over.

Oh, and that's the Miracle Chalmers.

Next time, get your ginger ale.

Yes, Tamika?

Um, I need some lady advice.

Well, you're not grown, so you mean some teenage advice?

Yeah, I have this friend.

And she's kind of thinking about considering having sex.

Oh.

Um.

Okay, well, does your friend know that she could get pregnant or catch an STD?

That's what condoms are for, right?

Yes, but that doesn't always work.

Yeah, I heard.

I mean, she's heard that.

Well, maybe your friend should probably wait until that very special time.

Like, when she gets married, you only get one first time.

Yeah. Thanks, Miss Simmons.

All right.

Hey, Jamaica. Hi.

So, that wasn't too bad, now was it?

It was a little awkward. I had one student tell me she was thinking of

sex. And what did you tell her? I told her to wait till she gets married.

Good advice. If a boy thinks she's worth it, he'll be willing to wait.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

So I see the popcorn on the floor. Your daddy must have been in here.

Yes. Look at this mess.

Wait, do you remember that one guy, Xavier, that used to steal everybody's

stuff? Yo, that dude was... Sick.

You know they found him all under his bed after you left, right? Nuh -uh.

That's it.

I had a good little stock hustle going, though.

Um, yeah. I swear you talked Xavier into stealing those stocks so you could sell

them. Nah, nah, nah. A hustler just knows how to make the most of other

bad habits.

Yeah.

Man, on some real stuff, I don't know what I would have done if you weren't

there. It's like, I didn't know when I was going to see Joaquin again.

I was scared.

Yeah, I took you under my wing.

Yeah.

So, how's the foster home you're in now?

I mean, Ms. Thomas, she's cool. I mean, it's like six of us guys there. Yeah,

that's cool.

Are you still rapping?

Like, gifts on Christmas morning.

And I usually have this club on the weekends on the West End.

I spit sometimes.

You should come see me.

Well, maybe I will.

So, spit.

Wait, right now?

Yeah.

Oh, what?

This little chum chum. Yeah, I got

this chick that I've known from around the way. Every day we used to hustle,

my back in the tussle. But the farthest little thing I have to say, so I spit

rhymes to her, drop lines to her, and now I want to give my time to her.

Wow.

That was...

the weather up there?

Save it, Brianna.

Look, I think I should go. Yeah, leave.

Boy, walk out or get carried out.

I'm really sorry about this. It's cool.

I'll call you tonight, alright? No, don't even bother. Let's go, Brianna.

Will!

What's your problem?

Who are you raising your voice to?

What's going on out here?

Little Miss Hot Pants was just saying goodbye to her friend.

Why are you still here? I'm gone.

you have to embarrass me like that okay would one of you just tell me what's

happening nothing oh nothing like like little mr whatever his little name is

and you were just friends nothing i came back from my run and her and mr thug

life are out here kissing it was our first kid and he ruined it good you

need to be wasting your time with that little hoodlum anyway hoodlum hoodlum

because he's not like you will watch because he's not a doctor who kills

Hmm, who's better? Let me think.

You know what? You better get her. Look, look, look. Both of you need to calm

down.

Brianna, you have to understand that Will is just trying to look out for you.

doesn't even know Tone.

I know people just like him.

Sagging pants, big old chain.

I grew up with guys like that. And almost every single one of them is

dead or in jail.

See, that's not fair, because he's not them.

Oh, just a matter of time.

All right? You're just too blind to see it, little girl.

You know what, Will?

You're the one who's not looking.

What?

What? Come on, Will. Come on, Will. Look, he seems like a nice enough kid.

Nice enough does not mean good enough. It's my job to protect her. Okay, well,

how do you expect to do that if you keep pushing her away?

Baby, she's a teenager. The more that you push, the more she's going to run in

the opposite direction.

Listen, listen.

We'll have him over for dinner, and then we'll try to get to know him.

Once we do that, we can decide what's best.

Get to know him. Get to know him, Will. Give him a chance.

Okay?

Okay. Okay. Fine.

Fine. If he don't gonna be in prison already.

Hey, sweeties. Hey.

I just came by to see how something went yesterday.

You didn't faint, did you? No.

But Mr. Brown almost did.

He was up all night having nightmares talking about he's not birthing no more

babies.

Look at him.

Wouldn't the kids act like they've seen it all before?

Why would I put it past them? These kids are like 15 going on 25.

I had one student ask me about having sex. And I told her to wait until she

married. Oh, really?

Yes.

That's one conversation we've never had.

What is there to talk about?

I'm a Christian woman and I'm living my life according.

According to what? According to the book. What book?

The good book, the Bible.

I'm staying celibate until I get married.

You're not saying this to force me to marry you, are you?

No.

Lord, no, what?

What? You don't think I'm the marrying type?

I'm telling you, Carl, I put up my player's shoes a long time ago.

Well, you should have put those raggedy things up with it.

You know what's funny? I was saying the same thing to Gordon that I'm saying to

you.

It was funny.

What? What?

What is it?

What? What?

You and Gordon was talking about sex.

We were talking about a student.

Y 'all was talking about having sex with a student.

talking about a student, and he said if a man loves you, he will wait.

Oh, he did, did he? Yes.

Well, he is just trying to get you to put your guard down.

What are you talking about? That is the oldest trick of the book.

What book?

The player handbook.

Well, what would you know about the player handbook?

I don't. What?

Look, anyway, Gabe recognizes Gabe, and any man that says that is full of it.

Are you talking about Gordon or are you talking about you?

That's just hurtful.

What are you doing?

Reggie!

No,

you won't put that back!

Give me this.

Give me my... Give me my... Oh!

So you're going to sit here and look me dead in my face and tell me you ain't

lying? No. You ain't got nothing to do with the powder ring at the school.

What powder ring, man? Oh, you ain't got nothing to do with it.

Just raise your voice to me and come up. Man, you be more respectful. Say, yes,

Mr. Man.

So,

Antonio, tell us about your family.

Well, my mom's doing a bid, her third.

Oh, your mama bid the auction bid? Give me $50, $25 on $30, $35 on $40, $45.

Your mama do that? Nah, nah, she's in jail.

Shut up, Carl. Where's mama in jail? Your mama in real prison.

I bet you Muddy a punker.

I haven't seen my dad since I was little.

What? Well, you know, Will, you ain't seen your daddy since you was little.

and Skintone here got something in common.

He ain't seen his daddy in a long time either. Come on, Mr. Brown, help me with

the dishes.

I don't want to.

Come on, Mr. Brown, help me with the dishes. Cora, I said I don't want to.

Come on, help me with the dishes. What am I going to help you do with the

dishes? Wash the dishes. Clean them.

Cur, I wish you was somebody else.

Like, somebody.

So, I, uh, I guess not knowing your dad must have been tough.

I mean, yeah, but I roll with it.

Antonio is a DJ and a rapper.

Of course he is.

Oh, that's nice.

Yeah, I love music. Like, rap is a way for me to express myself, you know?

Why do all you kids want to be rappers?

Well... With plenty of money and women, right?

I mean...

Yeah, but that's not why I want to do it.

Okay, so enlighten me.

I want to do something different.

I got something for you. Hold on.

He got a gun!

He got a gun!

I want to put rhymes to stuff like this, you know? Boy, you're a regular Little

Ratchy. That's Little Ratchy and Little Richard mixed.

Where's your bathroom?

Well, I don't have one.

Bro.

Third door on the left.

You ain't about to ask you, man.

Come on, Master Pee -Pee.

And keep your hands in your pocket where I can see.

Go on upstairs.

And pull up your pants.

I think Cora needs me in the kitchen.

So, what do you think?

Well, actually, he's not bad.

But you got to admit, Brianna, the sagging pants and the big old chain and

that. Maybe he has baggy pants because they're hand -me -downs. Did you ever

think about that?

Before I got here, you probably would have thought I wasn't good enough

Okay. Good point.

I mean, he's talented.

He's smart.

He's a 3 .8. I have a 2 .0.

He can help me with my homework.

Well, maybe, just maybe,

I'd jump to judgment on this boy. Maybe.

But I am not going to apologize for being concerned.

I'm glad you're concerned, Will.

Well, good.

Because I definitely can't say that I approve of this young man just yet.

And I especially find it disrespectful that he put his lips on my daughter.

But, you seem to like him, and since you do, then

I will try to get to know him.

Otherwise, I'm going to have to kill him.

Fair enough.

I'm just going to take all these sharp objects away before he gets back.

Elliot, you do not get extra points for coloring your

paper.

Hey, Ms. Simmons.

Hey, Tamika. So does your friend need more advice?

It's really me I was talking about, not my friend.

Oh, I didn't even know that.

The truth is...

My boyfriend is the one pressuring me to have sex.

Well, first of all, no one can pressure you into doing anything.

There are things you choose to do and choose not to do.

I never thought about it that way.

We do love each other, though.

Well, if he really loves you, he'll respect your decision.

And you have to be strong enough to do what's best for you.

Yeah. All right.

Thanks, Miss. You're welcome.

Bye. All right. See you later.

See you later.

Okay, Cora, we can go through a long, drawn -out process, which you've

me. Why don't we just skip on that?

So what do you suggest we do?

Well, how about I say that you mean the world to

me, and I'm sorry.

And you say, okay, handsome Reggie.

I'll bake you a peach coffee.

Okay, handsome Reggie. Yeah.

I'll bake you a peach cup.

Ooh, extra peaches? Extra peaches.
