Yeah, well I guess that's done.

What's done, carlos?

In '95 there was a drive by shooting and a kid was killed.

Angel- -And he was driving.

What, the kid from your grade?

Look, I didn't know what he was gonna do, ok?

Yeah, I was driving-

you think you could just hide it?

No!

Father Rivera said, you know, that if I work every day-

-It would just go away?

There would be a reason I wasn't in jail or on the other end.

Why are you even listening to him?

He's just like Hector!

No, he's not.

It's alright. It's cool, it's cool.

You're right.

The past is all that matters anyway.

Carlos.

Come on, baby, let's just go home.

-Why did you do this?

Don't you get it baby- why don't you listen to me?

It's like you want it-

-Stop it.

Why are you like this?

[sobs] For you.

Everything I do is for you, Angela, but...

are you drunk?

Shut up. [slap]

Oh!

[winces in pain]

Mom!

Rosie!

Angel!

Rosie! [screams]

[whispering] Angel...

[sirens blaring]

Angela.

Not hungry?

Where's my mom?

She had a meeting.

Why are you so late?

I just- I was- I got busy.

Come come.

This will help these dark circles.

You work all night.

You don't sleep.

-You don't sleep.

I have a big long sleep waiting for me just around the corner.

Why invite it?

It was for work.

So you can go back to New York?

You wanna leave us so bad?

Hmm?

[sighs]

You two.

You throw knives at each other all day long.

Like that's gonna help.

You're hurting her.

Close them.

We Santiago women are strong.

And beautiful.

Now wash.

And some have compared the cyclops to a war-like

and militant- well...

look who's here.

Class is almost over.

I'm sorry.

No, you're not.

You're being disrespectful to myself.

Your fellow students, and our material.

You are continually late.

You haven't done the reading.

I did the reading.

What?

I did the reading.

You did?

-Yes.

Alright.

Then perhaps you'd be so kind as to open our discussion.

How would you interpret the central struggle of Ulysses?

A parallel of each individual struggle for self in a

directionless ocean of uncertainty?

Or, simply the story of a man who refuses to stop

and ask for directions?

[laughing]

Well, I don't- what is an odyssey?

It's a journey.

It's a... big long pointless voyage.

Ulysses didn't ask for an odyssey.

He was just trying to get home.

You know, home where there's always milk and honey,

and it's quiet and safe and warm.

But it's the getting there that's the problem.

There's no road signs home.

No Thomas Guide saying you are here, home is there.

'Cuz when you're out on the stormy seas and you're fighting

sirens and harpies and a crew full of pigs,

home's so far away it's a fantasy.

And even if you get there,

you're still gonna have to fight.

For your people.

For your kingdom.

I mean the woman that you love, she doesn't even know you.

So, there's never going to be no milk and honey.

Just be happy with your pizza and beer.

[knocking]

Hey.

Hey.

So, how's your mom?

She's fine.

You weren't at practice today.

Right. Sorry, I had work.

For what?

I need a plane ticket.

This is it, huh?

You running?

Poor little Angel.

Run, run, run.

Well tell me something,

when were you gonna let us know, huh?

The day of the battles?

Well, like you're a saint?

What, you think I couldn't handle it?

You jump at shadows, Angel.

They need you, don't you get it?

You're 6.

They can't do nothing as 5.

Fine.

Trece will take your solo.

As it turns out you were wasting floor space.

Rosa Maria Ibanez.

Oh, I didn't tell you about her.

She's the one the who didn't make it out of that alley.

You ready?

K, give me your hat.

And your jacket.

Rosie!

Why'd she look like you?

No!

Rosie, no?

She just kept callin' to me.

And callin' to me, and callin' to me, and I couldn't-

alright, well what could you do?

I couldn't' do anything.

[crying]

I put her out there. Don't you understand that?

I put her out there.

Hector just did the dirty work.

I get it.

She's gone.

And you got 2 good knees, and a scar heeling on your

back pretty good.

You don't think I know

how one mistake can trap you forever?

Shit happens.

But you're wearing it all like camouflage.

She's not your excuse and she wouldn't want to be.

I feel like i'm always explaining the world to you.

I'm done.

Now, this is all on you.

There's a prayer at cipher every year,

and I was gonna give it to you.

What, and now you're not?

No.

Now, I am.

Step up, Angel.

♪

Alright, alright, alright.

Let's get this thing started, people.

The cipher is about to begin.

Check this out.

We got crews from all over the world.

Let me just say, nothing is over until that last b-boy spins.

Alright, now, here's one of our judges.

Needs no introduction.

Ya'll please give it up for Poe One.

[cheering]

What's up, ya'll?

You guys ready?

You guys ready to battle?

You guys ready?

Check it out.

This is step into the cipher, ya'll.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

So, before we start the battle, I like to start

this battle with a prayer.

You know what i'm saying?

So I need, uh, I need Angel up here.

Where's Angel at?

Scared?

No.

[deep breath]

On the inside of my rib cage is a rage

that speaks the language of the beat.

It says to me be, girl, just be.

Just be a b-girl.

I used to be a b-girl.

Improve with practice.

Actually I was a natural, can you catch my drift?

Lifting my 6 step sweeps.

Windmills.

Drills.

Drills. Drills.

I was that b-gril turning heads with my head tracks.

Battling whole crews.

Black and blue 'til they look hurt

just looking at my foot work.

Skill, yes.

But I was just being that b-girl whose whole world is a circle.

Oohs and ahhs.

Claps and snaps and claps and applause.

I was just being that b-girl because in a circle,

in a crew,

this is who I was and this was all I knew.

I was that b-girl that made it look easy.

I was that b-girl because it was easy.

Until easy got hard.

And even Cece's trip me up like air flares and I just fall.

And muscles tear and falling hurts harder.

Bartering bruise for bruise on top of bruise,

on top of bruise.

No break throughs. Just bad news.

And everything I knew, everything I knew just flew.

Like it was ripped out from under you.

See, I knew how to be that b-girl.

Now, i'm learning to just be.

Me.

They say the heart speaks the language of the beat.

It says to me, b-girl just be.

Girl just be.

Your whole world is the whole world.

No circle, no applause.

Be that b-girl because.

Because the word, the light, the beat, the fight.

They're all in the house tonight.

So dj, turn up that needle and make it spin.

And let the battles begin.
