1982.
3
00:00:04,573 --> 00:00:06,824
That was the year I turned 13.
4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,455
Before I was a comedian, I thought
the coolest thing that would happen to me
5
00:00:10,529 --> 00:00:11,912
was being a teenager.
6
00:00:13,934 --> 00:00:17,622
I was gonna have women, money, stay out late.
7
00:00:18,138 --> 00:00:20,193
I thought it was gonna be the bomb.
8
00:00:22,260 --> 00:00:22,923
'sup?
9
00:00:29,506 --> 00:00:33,866
Chris! Chris! Chris!
10
00:00:35,652 --> 00:00:37,370
Boy, was I wrong!
11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,741
Chris!
12
00:00:39,258 --> 00:00:42,418
Get in the bathroom and
wipe the pee off the toilet seat!
13
00:00:43,733 --> 00:00:45,067
Disgusting!
14
00:01:23,116 --> 00:01:27,860
When I was 13, my mother convinced
my father to move us out of the Project.
15
00:01:27,963 --> 00:01:31,161
She always said Project is
just another word for experiment.
16
00:01:31,723 --> 00:01:34,403
In a lab, the government gives rats cheese.
17
00:01:34,636 --> 00:01:37,411
In the Projetcs,
the governement gives people cheese.
18
00:01:38,821 --> 00:01:41,356
Dad, can we stop at McDonald's?
19
00:01:41,404 --> 00:01:42,703
You guys have MacDonald's money?
20
00:01:42,734 --> 00:01:44,309
Julius, the kids have to eat.
21
00:01:44,385 --> 00:01:45,862
They ain't got to eat MacDonald's.
22
00:01:45,955 --> 00:01:47,866
We got some beloni in the back. I'll pull over.
23
00:01:48,006 --> 00:01:51,165
My father Julius always kept
beloni handy just in case.
24
00:01:51,259 --> 00:01:52,862
We get one combo meal.
25
00:01:52,957 --> 00:01:56,307
Drew gets the burger, Tonya gets the fries,
Chris you can have the drink.
26
00:01:56,353 --> 00:01:58,477
One time I just got ice.
27
00:02:00,070 --> 00:02:02,863
We moved to an apartment in Bedstyle, Brookyn.
28
00:02:03,942 --> 00:02:07,773
Now had we known that Bedstyle
would be the center of a crack epidemic,
29
00:02:08,035 --> 00:02:10,138
I guess we'd have picked some place else.
30
00:02:11,407 --> 00:02:13,461
Bedstyle even had its own motto:
31
00:02:13,555 --> 00:02:15,561
"Bedstyle, do or die"
32
00:02:16,877 --> 00:02:18,355
Look at that! Look at that!
33
00:02:18,449 --> 00:02:20,455
Those were some of the guys that were gonna die.
34
00:02:21,377 --> 00:02:24,536
If I ever catch any of y'all spray painting
on anybody's wall,
35
00:02:24,676 --> 00:02:27,864
I'm gonna put my foot so far up your behind,
you'll have toes for teeth.
36
00:02:29,227 --> 00:02:30,130
Get inside.
37
00:02:30,364 --> 00:02:31,987
That's my mother Rochelle.
38
00:02:32,079 --> 00:02:34,373
She had a hundred recipes for whooping ass.
39
00:02:34,467 --> 00:02:37,145
Boy, I will slap the caps off your knees.
40
00:02:37,286 --> 00:02:39,579
I will knock you into last night.
41
00:02:39,724 --> 00:02:44,079
I will slap your name out the phonebook
and call my Bell and tell I didn't.
42
00:02:44,502 --> 00:02:46,220
That's my younger brother Drew.
43
00:02:46,314 --> 00:02:49,522
There's nothing worse than
having a little brother that's bigger than you.
44
00:02:49,801 --> 00:02:53,878
My sister Tonya was the youngest and
would do anything to get me in trouble.
45
00:02:55,331 --> 00:02:56,617
Chris, clean that mess up.
46
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:58,175
- Tonya did it.
- Huh-uh!
47
00:02:58,358 --> 00:02:59,549
Did I ask you that?
48
00:02:59,735 --> 00:03:03,183
Since I was the oldest,
I had to be the emergency adult.
49
00:03:03,371 --> 00:03:04,464
If you smell smoke,
50
00:03:04,489 --> 00:03:06,251
and you think the house is gonna catch fire,
51
00:03:06,321 --> 00:03:08,532
get your brother and your sister
and get out of here.
52
00:03:08,611 --> 00:03:11,339
If you smell gaz and you think
the house is gonna blow up,
53
00:03:11,395 --> 00:03:13,564
get your brother and your sister
and get out of here.
54
00:03:13,627 --> 00:03:14,918
If you smell smoke,
55
00:03:15,006 --> 00:03:16,774
and your brother catches on fire,
56
00:03:16,917 --> 00:03:18,631
get your sister and get out of here.
57
00:03:18,732 --> 00:03:20,540
Fortunately, the house never caught fire...
58
00:03:20,634 --> 00:03:21,920
and neither did my brother.
59
00:03:22,294 --> 00:03:25,983
Mom, why is it that Drew and Tonya
get to go to school in our own neighborhood
60
00:03:26,123 --> 00:03:28,369
but I have to go all way out to Brooklyn Beach?
61
00:03:28,464 --> 00:03:31,669
Brooklyn Beach was a poor italian neighborhood
on the other side of town.
62
00:03:31,932 --> 00:03:33,604
It was just like Bedstyle,
63
00:03:33,743 --> 00:03:36,135
take away the gangs, add the mob.
64
00:03:36,275 --> 00:03:39,318
Because the junior high school
around here is like a
65
00:03:39,505 --> 00:03:40,792
hoodlum factory.
66
00:03:41,126 --> 00:03:43,894
And those white kids, they get an education.
67
00:03:43,988 --> 00:03:45,421
Not a Harvard type education,
68
00:03:45,513 --> 00:03:48,719
just a not-sticking-up-a-liquor-store type
education.
69
00:03:48,861 --> 00:03:49,617
Hey, dad.
70
00:03:49,992 --> 00:03:50,607
Hey, baby.
71
00:03:50,888 --> 00:03:52,608
What's up, dad?
72
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:54,542
Hey, daddy.
73
00:03:55,058 --> 00:03:56,058
Hey, baby.
74
00:03:56,150 --> 00:03:57,634
Tonya was my father's favorite.
75
00:03:57,722 --> 00:03:59,351
What's wrong with your oatmeal?
76
00:03:59,485 --> 00:04:00,916
Chris made it too lumpy.
77
00:04:01,058 --> 00:04:02,197
And she knew it.
78
00:04:02,460 --> 00:04:04,132
You don't have to eat it
79
00:04:07,798 --> 00:04:09,808
I know you're not gonna threw that away.
80
00:04:10,792 --> 00:04:11,790
Eat that.
81
00:04:12,029 --> 00:04:13,839
That's 30 cent worth of oatmeal.
82
00:04:14,453 --> 00:04:16,840
My father always knew what everything costs.
83
00:04:17,028 --> 00:04:19,734
That's a dollar 9 cent in the trash.
84
00:04:20,202 --> 00:04:23,122
That's 2 dollars on fire.
85
00:04:24,156 --> 00:04:28,661
That's 49 cent of spilled milk
dripping all over my table.
86
00:04:28,847 --> 00:04:30,614
Somebody's gonna drink this milk.
87
00:04:31,554 --> 00:04:33,128
Baby did you see this?
88
00:04:33,503 --> 00:04:35,559
I've paid this.
89
00:04:35,745 --> 00:04:37,607
- It says you paid half.
- I know.
90
00:04:37,842 --> 00:04:40,713
I gave you all the money how come
you only paid half the bill.
91
00:04:41,182 --> 00:04:43,588
I cannot even believe that you'd ask me that.
92
00:04:43,635 --> 00:04:46,490
Just asking you a question. I'm trying to find out
what's going on around here.
93
00:04:46,582 --> 00:04:49,313
No, you're not. You're questioning my judgement.
94
00:04:49,450 --> 00:04:52,129
You act like there's not
a big red bill sitting on the table.
95
00:04:52,223 --> 00:04:53,509
Okay, fine.
96
00:04:54,026 --> 00:04:55,223
You do it then.
97
00:04:55,357 --> 00:04:56,579
- I will.
- Okay.
98
00:04:56,669 --> 00:04:57,524
- I am.
- Good.
99
00:04:57,664 --> 00:04:58,470
- Fine.
- Fine.
100
00:04:58,564 --> 00:05:02,204
My parents taught me love is never
having to say "kiss my ass".
101
00:05:02,296 --> 00:05:03,535
Where the stamps at?
102
00:05:05,001 --> 00:05:06,423
I was never cool growing up.
103
00:05:06,516 --> 00:05:09,195
The coolest thing about me was
this pair of white sneakers I had.
104
00:05:10,838 --> 00:05:11,989
No, no, no, no.
105
00:05:12,019 --> 00:05:13,968
Boy, you're not going to school in no sneakers.
106
00:05:14,029 --> 00:05:17,340
Believe it or not, there was a time where
you couldn't wear sneakers everywhere.
107
00:05:17,566 --> 00:05:19,332
Why? Everybody else wears sneakers.
108
00:05:19,426 --> 00:05:20,759
Because you look raggity.
109
00:05:20,899 --> 00:05:22,474
Plus, you have an assembly today.
110
00:05:22,930 --> 00:05:24,277
Boy, you're gonna lost your mind.
111
00:05:24,370 --> 00:05:26,185
My mother hated raggity.
112
00:05:26,379 --> 00:05:30,112
She always said it's better to be poor
and neat than rich and raggity.
113
00:05:30,248 --> 00:05:32,017
I think she said that because we were poor.
114
00:05:32,109 --> 00:05:32,728
Here.
115
00:05:33,992 --> 00:05:35,477
Wear Drew's good shoes.
116
00:05:36,457 --> 00:05:38,079
I hate these shoes.
117
00:05:38,227 --> 00:05:40,034
And everybody will make fun of me at school.
118
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,946
You've only been going there for a week.
119
00:05:42,128 --> 00:05:43,607
You don't know everybody.
120
00:05:43,653 --> 00:05:45,378
I was the only black kid at the school.
121
00:05:45,652 --> 00:05:47,137
They know me.
122
00:05:48,876 --> 00:05:50,347
This is so embarassing.
123
00:05:50,449 --> 00:05:51,726
How come he's wearing my shoes?
124
00:05:51,819 --> 00:05:53,588
Because you only have one pair of feet.
125
00:05:53,754 --> 00:05:55,492
but, Chris, don't fool around after school.
126
00:05:55,550 --> 00:05:57,831
I need you to be here
to let Drew and Tonya in, okay?
127
00:05:58,112 --> 00:05:58,875
You won't be here?
128
00:05:58,964 --> 00:06:00,105
No, I gotta work today.
129
00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:01,299
But you know the drill.
130
00:06:01,415 --> 00:06:02,844
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
131
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:05,161
Daddy's gonna be asleep
and don't wake him up 'til 5 o'clock.
132
00:06:05,214 --> 00:06:05,970
That's right.
133
00:06:06,582 --> 00:06:07,482
Chris!
134
00:06:07,998 --> 00:06:09,813
You got your bus pass?
135
00:06:09,860 --> 00:06:11,002
Yeah, um...
136
00:06:11,950 --> 00:06:13,612
- Somewhere around here...
- Hmm-hm.
137
00:06:14,223 --> 00:06:18,206
You keep on. You lose this bus pass and
your behind is gonna be walking to school.
138
00:06:18,433 --> 00:06:19,094
Oh.
139
00:06:20,973 --> 00:06:22,723
- Here's 2 dollars for lunch.
- Thanks.
140
00:06:23,111 --> 00:06:24,788
All right, now be good.
141
00:06:25,204 --> 00:06:26,252
- Bye, mom.
- Bye, mommy.
142
00:06:26,436 --> 00:06:27,292
Bye, baby.
143
00:06:27,995 --> 00:06:29,380
Hold your sister's hand.
144
00:06:30,046 --> 00:06:31,418
Now go in the street.
145
00:06:34,426 --> 00:06:36,243
Keisha was the girl next door.
146
00:06:36,522 --> 00:06:38,870
At 13, I didn't know a lot about sex.
147
00:06:39,056 --> 00:06:41,107
But I knew she had something to do with it.
148
00:06:41,255 --> 00:06:42,113
Hey, Drew!
149
00:06:42,149 --> 00:06:43,002
Drew?
150
00:06:43,096 --> 00:06:44,242
What's up, Keisha?
151
00:06:46,965 --> 00:06:48,196
You know her?
152
00:06:48,532 --> 00:06:49,605
Yeah.
153
00:06:50,435 --> 00:06:54,556
Drew was so cool he got girls
at 10 that I couldn't get until I was 30.
154
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,234
Listen, when y'all get to the house,
155
00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:58,682
don't ring the bell or knock on the door.
156
00:06:58,823 --> 00:06:59,917
Just wait, okay?
157
00:07:00,198 --> 00:07:00,942
Whatever.
158
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,600
What if I have to go to the bathroom?
159
00:07:02,695 --> 00:07:03,555
Go at school.
160
00:07:03,642 --> 00:07:05,074
That bathroom is so nasty.
161
00:07:05,448 --> 00:07:06,446
Listen...
162
00:07:06,727 --> 00:07:10,175
You wake up daddy,
he's gonna punch me square in the face,
163
00:07:10,503 --> 00:07:12,749
and if he does that,
I'm gonna punch you in the face
164
00:07:13,125 --> 00:07:16,141
and then he's gonna kill me and wound up in jail.
165
00:07:16,234 --> 00:07:17,713
Now do you want daddy to go to jail?
166
00:07:17,817 --> 00:07:18,371
No.
167
00:07:18,513 --> 00:07:19,174
No?
168
00:07:19,408 --> 00:07:20,552
Alright then.
169
00:07:22,102 --> 00:07:25,213
Even when my mother got mad,
she still made my dad's dinner.
170
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,256
...on my mind.
171
00:07:26,487 --> 00:07:28,783
Vegetables, patatoes and its favorite:
172
00:07:28,886 --> 00:07:30,403
a big piece of chicken.
173
00:07:32,874 --> 00:07:35,421
I had to take two buses to school everyday.
174
00:07:35,504 --> 00:07:38,519
Was the junior high school
across the street really that bad?
175
00:07:41,716 --> 00:07:45,692
Like rock 'n roll,
school shootings were also invented by blacks
176
00:07:45,785 --> 00:07:47,504
and stolen by the white man.
177
00:07:48,772 --> 00:07:50,973
My first bus was the 26.
178
00:07:51,207 --> 00:07:54,269
I read the newspaper every single day.
179
00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:57,309
I learnt more in the way to school
than I learnt at school.
180
00:08:00,224 --> 00:08:02,480
My next bus was the 44.
181
00:08:02,564 --> 00:08:04,619
I was the only black person on the bus.
182
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:06,623
And nobody was sitting next to me.
183
00:08:06,716 --> 00:08:08,194
I mean nobody.
184
00:08:09,285 --> 00:08:12,578
If you think she's mad now,
wait 'til her daughter brings home O.J.
185
00:08:15,399 --> 00:08:19,424
My mother thought going to a white school
meant I would get a better education
186
00:08:19,517 --> 00:08:20,997
and I would be safer.
187
00:08:21,370 --> 00:08:22,418
Wrong!
188
00:08:23,558 --> 00:08:25,119
That's Joey Caruso.
189
00:08:25,307 --> 00:08:27,747
A little thug with a big chip on his shoulder.
190
00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:30,557
You know I manage to avoid him
before I wore these shoes.
191
00:08:32,146 --> 00:08:33,721
Nice shoes, Bojangles.
192
00:08:34,755 --> 00:08:35,896
Bojangles?
193
00:08:36,742 --> 00:08:40,271
That's not what your mother call me
when I was tap dancing with her draws last night.
194
00:08:43,381 --> 00:08:44,907
I know you think I'm crazy.
195
00:08:44,961 --> 00:08:48,162
But if I let him get away with that,
he'd be doing it all year.
196
00:08:48,348 --> 00:08:49,635
Now I couldn't beat him,
197
00:08:49,729 --> 00:08:52,362
but I thought maybe I could outblack him.
198
00:08:52,455 --> 00:08:54,512
- What?
- Did I stutter?
199
00:08:55,929 --> 00:08:57,159
You know who I am?
200
00:08:57,233 --> 00:09:00,156
You step on my shoe again
and I'm gonna tell you who I am.
201
00:09:00,932 --> 00:09:02,008
I don't play that.
202
00:09:02,129 --> 00:09:03,560
I'm from Bedstyle, boy.
203
00:09:03,668 --> 00:09:05,518
I bring half a marcy up in here.
204
00:09:06,224 --> 00:09:09,870
I will beat your butt so bad.
You're gonna need crutches in your sleep.
205
00:09:10,376 --> 00:09:11,518
Hey, this might work.
206
00:09:11,613 --> 00:09:12,899
You know what else I'm gonna do?
207
00:09:14,403 --> 00:09:15,304
What's your name?
208
00:09:15,632 --> 00:09:16,377
Chris.
209
00:09:16,888 --> 00:09:18,894
I'm Dr. Raymond your new principle.
210
00:09:19,176 --> 00:09:20,559
Now get off my feet.
211
00:09:22,956 --> 00:09:24,098
That's funny?
212
00:09:24,615 --> 00:09:25,854
That's not funny.
213
00:09:26,289 --> 00:09:27,369
What's your name, son?
214
00:09:27,663 --> 00:09:28,508
Caruso.
215
00:09:28,928 --> 00:09:31,366
Fix yourself up next time you come to my school.
216
00:09:33,105 --> 00:09:34,837
See those shoes?
217
00:09:35,527 --> 00:09:36,575
They say something.
218
00:09:36,903 --> 00:09:38,285
They say I'm a student,
219
00:09:38,756 --> 00:09:39,753
I want to learn.
220
00:09:40,895 --> 00:09:41,976
I want more of that.
221
00:09:44,052 --> 00:09:45,185
And less of this.
222
00:09:47,770 --> 00:09:49,346
Don't bump into me again.
223
00:09:50,709 --> 00:09:52,715
Even though Caruso was messing with me,
224
00:09:53,002 --> 00:09:55,099
getting embarrassed made him even madder.
225
00:09:55,286 --> 00:09:56,746
So you know what's coming next...
226
00:09:56,887 --> 00:09:58,174
This isn't over, nigger!
227
00:09:59,926 --> 00:10:02,159
He got away with calling me nigger that day.
228
00:10:02,422 --> 00:10:04,909
The later in life he said it at a DMX concert
229
00:10:05,158 --> 00:10:07,163
and almost got stomped to death.
230
00:10:08,466 --> 00:10:10,665
You're really from "Bedstyle do or die"?
231
00:10:10,947 --> 00:10:11,571
Yeah.
232
00:10:11,903 --> 00:10:13,014
You've ever been shot.
233
00:10:13,340 --> 00:10:14,003
No.
234
00:10:14,112 --> 00:10:16,056
At least not yet.
235
00:10:16,571 --> 00:10:18,388
- I'm Greg.
- I'm Chris.
236
00:10:18,808 --> 00:10:21,469
Greg wasn't my first choice for a friend.
237
00:10:21,564 --> 00:10:24,243
But mutual ass kicking seem
to bring people together.
238
00:10:24,383 --> 00:10:26,665
- Cool shoes.
- Thanks.
239
00:10:26,952 --> 00:10:28,923
If that was the new principle,
240
00:10:29,439 --> 00:10:30,342
who was the old one?
241
00:10:31,281 --> 00:10:32,615
I didn't touch her!
242
00:10:32,796 --> 00:10:34,416
I don't know what you're talking about.
243
00:10:34,712 --> 00:10:38,296
Mr. Palmer was accused of doing something
that we can't tell you about
244
00:10:38,345 --> 00:10:39,705
because of the network sensus.
245
00:10:39,798 --> 00:10:41,614
The school settled the lawsuit out of court
246
00:10:41,659 --> 00:10:43,235
and he's not allowed to teach anymore.
247
00:10:43,330 --> 00:10:45,623
If he moves to your neighborhood,
you'll get a warning.
248
00:10:47,316 --> 00:10:49,381
Back at home, my father should have been in bed.
249
00:10:49,557 --> 00:10:51,959
But he'd rather lose sleep than money.
250
00:10:52,708 --> 00:10:53,856
What are you doing?
251
00:10:54,029 --> 00:10:55,231
I'm paying the bills.
252
00:10:55,361 --> 00:10:56,984
See, it says 40 dollars,
253
00:10:57,314 --> 00:10:58,647
I'm paying 40 dollars.
254
00:10:58,742 --> 00:11:01,196
And that's exactly why
I don't let you pay the bills.
255
00:11:05,743 --> 00:11:07,362
- Where are you going?
- To work!
256
00:11:07,737 --> 00:11:09,600
Is Chris gonna be home in time to wake me up?
257
00:11:09,696 --> 00:11:11,177
Can I see in the future?
258
00:11:11,548 --> 00:11:12,741
What's wrong with you?
259
00:11:15,511 --> 00:11:17,261
Probably can see in the future!
260
00:11:21,258 --> 00:11:23,313
By lunch time, I was starving.
261
00:11:23,453 --> 00:11:24,547
I'm gonna go get a hotdog.
262
00:11:24,641 --> 00:11:26,038
I'm gonna get a slice of pizza.
263
00:11:36,698 --> 00:11:38,081
Give me back my bus pass.
264
00:11:38,223 --> 00:11:40,277
You want it, take it you little...
265
00:11:44,985 --> 00:11:46,603
After school, Satchmo.
266
00:11:56,242 --> 00:11:58,163
After school, I had a plan.
267
00:11:58,252 --> 00:11:59,298
This is crazy!
268
00:12:00,217 --> 00:12:02,565
Man, it's a school fight.
School fights only last a minute
269
00:12:02,610 --> 00:12:04,487
because somebody always comes and breaks them up.
270
00:12:04,539 --> 00:12:06,289
All I have to do is get in the first punch.
271
00:12:07,445 --> 00:12:08,538
Somebody will stop it.
272
00:12:09,149 --> 00:12:14,857
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
273
00:12:15,090 --> 00:12:16,281
What are you waiting for...
274
00:12:16,421 --> 00:12:17,418
Cornbread!
275
00:12:20,630 --> 00:12:22,300
This should be over any minute!
276
00:12:44,708 --> 00:12:47,668
Somebody's gonna stop this!
277
00:13:00,413 --> 00:13:03,621
Wait! Wait! Wait!
278
00:13:03,997 --> 00:13:04,803
Wait for me!
279
00:13:04,944 --> 00:13:06,160
Thank you! Thank you! Yeah...
280
00:13:07,371 --> 00:13:09,176
Come on, 'mam! Come on! I've got a schedule.
281
00:13:09,263 --> 00:13:11,813
Wait! Hold on, please!
282
00:13:11,986 --> 00:13:13,372
There's a kid trying to catch you.
283
00:13:13,464 --> 00:13:14,654
Yeah, I know. I see.
284
00:13:15,216 --> 00:13:16,792
Wait! Wait! Wait!
285
00:13:21,854 --> 00:13:23,170
I bet you don't get me tomorrow.
286
00:13:23,292 --> 00:13:24,148
I bet I do.
287
00:13:24,201 --> 00:13:25,117
You do? I gotta close now.
288
00:13:25,153 --> 00:13:26,352
Cut that out, you bunch of hoots!
289
00:13:26,403 --> 00:13:27,405
Back off!
290
00:13:32,096 --> 00:13:34,454
I was still hungry but I was almost home.
291
00:13:34,587 --> 00:13:35,909
What could go wrong now?
292
00:13:36,291 --> 00:13:37,101
Dad!
293
00:13:37,970 --> 00:13:38,827
Dad!
294
00:13:39,931 --> 00:13:40,788
Dad!
295
00:13:41,354 --> 00:13:42,976
That girl is trying to get me killed.
296
00:13:43,070 --> 00:13:43,972
Dad!
297
00:13:44,661 --> 00:13:45,273
Da...
298
00:13:45,882 --> 00:13:47,602
Girl, you want daddy to go to jail?
299
00:13:47,844 --> 00:13:48,990
I told her to quit.
300
00:13:49,071 --> 00:13:50,510
I have to go to the bathroom.
301
00:13:50,595 --> 00:13:51,737
I told you to go at school.
302
00:13:51,852 --> 00:13:53,164
That bathroom is nasty.
303
00:13:56,751 --> 00:13:58,217
Listen, we're going in.
304
00:13:58,686 --> 00:14:01,031
But once we get in, I don't wanna hear any noise.
305
00:14:01,135 --> 00:14:02,794
None. Do you understand?
306
00:14:02,888 --> 00:14:03,510
Yes.
307
00:14:16,905 --> 00:14:18,913
My father always slept in his uniform.
308
00:14:19,023 --> 00:14:20,148
That way when he woke up,
309
00:14:20,250 --> 00:14:21,490
he'd be ready to go.
310
00:14:25,054 --> 00:14:27,733
...gonna pay bills. I'll pay the bills.
311
00:14:41,795 --> 00:14:45,503
You may not think messing up
a pair of 40 dollars shoes is such a big deal,
312
00:14:45,584 --> 00:14:49,217
but you have to realize that
my father's car only cost 65 dollars.
313
00:14:49,394 --> 00:14:51,202
I had to get those shoes clean.
314
00:15:19,114 --> 00:15:21,725
For the first time that day,
things were going allright.
315
00:15:27,084 --> 00:15:30,341
All I had to do now was
keep everybody quiet 'til 5 o'clock.
316
00:15:41,723 --> 00:15:43,586
Dad. Dad.
317
00:15:44,808 --> 00:15:45,614
Time to get up.
318
00:15:47,635 --> 00:15:48,637
It's 5 o'clock?
319
00:15:49,526 --> 00:15:50,091
Yep.
320
00:15:51,825 --> 00:15:53,293
It's not 4:59?
321
00:15:53,918 --> 00:15:54,885
Nop.
322
00:15:58,410 --> 00:15:59,950
Which job am I going to?
323
00:16:00,171 --> 00:16:01,844
You're driving a truck.
324
00:16:11,058 --> 00:16:12,311
Hello.
325
00:16:12,459 --> 00:16:14,112
Hey, baby. It's mommy.
326
00:16:14,258 --> 00:16:15,278
Is your father up?
327
00:16:15,463 --> 00:16:16,895
- Yep.
- Good, good, good.
328
00:16:17,165 --> 00:16:20,316
Take his plate out of the refrigerator
and put it in the oven for him.
329
00:16:20,691 --> 00:16:21,560
What plate?
330
00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:23,306
The one with the big piece of chicken.
331
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,928
Haven't I told you
"do not eat the big piece of chicken"?
332
00:16:42,209 --> 00:16:43,162
But I was still hungry.
333
00:16:43,328 --> 00:16:46,584
My mother wasn't really mad at me,
she was looking out for my father.
334
00:16:46,727 --> 00:16:47,963
You see how big he is.
335
00:16:48,161 --> 00:16:49,777
She didn't want him to go to work hungry.
336
00:16:49,827 --> 00:16:52,416
Because if he goes to work hungry
then he'll be grouchy.
337
00:16:52,496 --> 00:16:54,793
And if he's grouchy,
he might call his boss Cracker.
338
00:16:54,935 --> 00:16:56,377
And if he calls his boss Cracker
339
00:16:56,457 --> 00:16:58,560
then we'll live in the Projects again.
340
00:16:58,746 --> 00:17:04,074
But do not eat the biggest piece of chicken.
341
00:17:04,750 --> 00:17:05,870
Do you understand?
342
00:17:12,264 --> 00:17:14,465
At least, you didn't mess up these school shoes.
343
00:17:19,590 --> 00:17:21,357
Come over here and give me some sugar.
344
00:17:25,684 --> 00:17:27,210
Now go to bed.
345
00:17:31,677 --> 00:17:33,785
- Rochelle.
- What?
346
00:17:34,485 --> 00:17:36,738
Look, I'm not trying to tell you what to do.
347
00:17:36,826 --> 00:17:39,506
But I'm working hard trying to pay for this place,
you know that.
348
00:17:39,620 --> 00:17:42,779
Julius, just because you make money
doesn't mean you know how to spend it.
349
00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:44,867
You gotta know how to work the system.
350
00:17:45,187 --> 00:17:47,243
- What system?
- The debt system.
351
00:17:47,995 --> 00:17:50,387
I run this house like they run the country...
352
00:17:50,462 --> 00:17:51,563
on a deficit.
353
00:17:51,713 --> 00:17:52,940
Rent is due on the 3rd,
354
00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:55,968
I don't pay 'til the 9th because
you don't get your check 'til the 7th.
355
00:17:56,047 --> 00:17:57,760
If you pay the light bill now,
356
00:17:57,811 --> 00:18:00,019
I won't have money for the groceries,
the rent will be late
357
00:18:00,052 --> 00:18:01,482
and then you'll have to work overtime.
358
00:18:01,512 --> 00:18:03,003
You want to work overtime again, Julius?
359
00:18:03,070 --> 00:18:04,098
No, I don't think so.
360
00:18:04,210 --> 00:18:05,623
If we don't owe people money,
361
00:18:05,716 --> 00:18:07,684
we won't have any money at all.
362
00:18:10,189 --> 00:18:11,309
Um...
363
00:18:12,413 --> 00:18:15,030
why didn't you just say that then?
364
00:18:15,116 --> 00:18:16,718
Because you didn't ask.
365
00:18:21,393 --> 00:18:22,059
Baby...
366
00:18:22,901 --> 00:18:23,965
Don't baby me.
367
00:18:24,889 --> 00:18:25,721
Come here.
368
00:18:26,639 --> 00:18:27,764
I'm sorry, okay?
369
00:18:31,285 --> 00:18:33,117
Who told you to open the mail anyway?
370
00:18:34,511 --> 00:18:35,730
Come here, Pooky.
371
00:18:35,889 --> 00:18:38,235
Last time you said Pooky I got pregnant.
372
00:18:38,347 --> 00:18:40,198
You're my Pooky. You're always my Pooky.
373
00:18:40,283 --> 00:18:40,898
No Pooky.
374
00:18:40,991 --> 00:18:42,760
Okay, little bit of Pooky.
375
00:18:44,122 --> 00:18:45,897
- Love you.
- I love you too.
376
00:18:49,956 --> 00:18:52,375
My dad always checked on us in between jobs:
377
00:18:52,514 --> 00:18:55,051
his night job and his late at night job.
378
00:18:55,896 --> 00:18:56,814
Dad?
379
00:18:57,509 --> 00:18:59,559
Hey, man. I thought you were asleep.
380
00:19:01,015 --> 00:19:03,263
I'm sorry I ate the big piece of chicken.
381
00:19:03,789 --> 00:19:05,738
That was 89 cent worth of chicken.
382
00:19:06,339 --> 00:19:08,159
What? You didn't get enough to eat at school?
383
00:19:08,476 --> 00:19:09,445
I was still hungry.
384
00:19:09,850 --> 00:19:10,819
Now I'm still hungry.
385
00:19:12,575 --> 00:19:15,814
Look, next time,
eat a little some extra breakfast, okay?
386
00:19:16,049 --> 00:19:16,568
Okay.
387
00:19:17,891 --> 00:19:18,600
Here.
388
00:19:19,581 --> 00:19:21,252
And don't go pulling this money out.
389
00:19:21,346 --> 00:19:22,824
somebody'd try to rob you.
390
00:19:24,266 --> 00:19:25,781
Don't tell your mother about this.
391
00:19:28,183 --> 00:19:29,479
Everything okay at school?
392
00:19:29,892 --> 00:19:31,422
I didn't tell him about the fight.
393
00:19:31,935 --> 00:19:34,335
My dad went to school during the civil rights era.
394
00:19:34,685 --> 00:19:38,201
After hoses, tanks and a dog bites on your ass,
395
00:19:38,350 --> 00:19:41,016
somehow Joey Caruso didn't compare.
396
00:19:41,801 --> 00:19:43,617
Yeah, it was alright.
397
00:19:45,310 --> 00:19:47,317
Okay. I'll see you in the morning.
398
00:19:48,208 --> 00:19:50,664
My father wasn't the type to say "I love you".
399
00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:53,469
He was one of four fathers on the block.
400
00:19:53,562 --> 00:19:56,151
"I'll see you in the morning"
mean he was coming home.
401
00:19:56,299 --> 00:19:59,255
Coming home was his way of saying "I love you".
402
00:19:59,771 --> 00:20:02,596
Unplug that clock boy.
You can't tell time when you sleep.
403
00:20:03,112 --> 00:20:04,447
That's 2 cents an hour.
404
00:20:06,948 --> 00:20:09,165
What the hell happened to my towel?
405
00:20:10,278 --> 00:20:12,921
