We'd also like to take a moment

and women flying with us today.

On behalf of this entire crew,

we thank you for your service

and welcome you home.

As we begin our initial descent,

please make sure your seat backs

and tray tables are in their...

Can you gift wrap this for me?

We don't do that.

Ohh! Aah!

I baked you a cake,

you little sh*t.

What are you doing here already?

- I got in early.

- No sh*t, you got in early.

- I'm throwing you a surprise party.

- For real?

You better f***in'

act surprised.

- Where you going?

- Nowhere.

- Get over here.

- What?

Shut up.

Let me look at you.

You look skinny.

You lost weight?

I don't know.

Oh, wow.

Look at you.

What is that?

Gimme a real hug.

Hey, I got something for you.

- Thanks, Nelly.

- What? You don't like it?

Your niece ain't a kid anymore.

So I'll keep it, then.

I'll get you something else.

What you want, condoms?

Don't say that to her.

- Go put on your dress blues.

- Come on, Ange.

- I just got in.

- I don't care.

- They're all wrinkly.

- So f***in' iron them.

- And the white gloves.

- I ain't wearing the gloves.

Yes you are. I like them.

They're nice.

I gotta go see Livvy.

No, you don't.

- Why not?

- Ma, think the cake's done.

- Because it's a surprise party.

- You invited her, right?

- Of course I did.

- Ma!

- What?

- The cake's burning!

So take it out, mama.

Ha ha ha!

- Oh, sh*t! What up?

- Yo, when you got back?

- Just now, man.

Damn, welcome home.

When's the parade?

You deserve a parade, my nigga.

- Where's Cezar?

- Let me shape you up.

They don't got

no barber shops in Iraq?

- Afghanistan. -It's all long-ass

Taliban beards n' sh*t?

Hey, yo, how many a-rabs

you shot out there?

C'mon, man.

Why you ask me that?

Yo, sit down.

Let me cut you up.

- I'll see you later.

- No, no, no. Wait, wait.

What's up?

You don't trust me?

Tell Cezar I'll be back.

You not happy,

you don't gotta pay.

I'm not happy,

I got a f***ed up cut.

Free, I do it for free,

so c'mon, man.

Cezar's my barber.

You know my sh*t is Gucci.

Oy.

Ah!

Mmm. Damn.

What?

- You smell so good.

- I need to take a shower.

Nah. Don't take a shower

ever again.

It's crazy to hear your voice.

Like, in person.

You sound different

on the phone.

How did I sound?

I can't explain.

Soft.

- And sexy.

- That's 'cause I was at work.

I like it when

you talk like that.

Get off of me.

- Where you gonna live now?

- With you.

Our place is kinda small.

So let's get

a bigger place, then.

- You don't like my place?

- No, I do.

- You said this place is...

- No one helped me move.

I had to hire these guys

and they broke my desk.

Why didn't you tell me?

I would've had people come.

I couldn't reach you.

So what you need moved?

Let's move things right now.

Want me to move this bed?

Nelson!

Welcome back, papi!

Hey. Shh.

It's supposed to be a surprise.

- Okay. I'll see you inside.

- Okay.

- How you doing?

- Fine.

You look beautiful.

She's beautiful.

Thank you.

He's coming.

He's coming!

He's coming. Shh.

Listen. Shh, be quiet.

Quiet, quiet, quiet.

He's coming.

He's coming. Shhh.

Come here, come here.

Shh! Shh.

Surprise!

Whoo!

All grown up.

- You're so cute.

- Pick me.

Here you go.

Oliver, all right.

We're gonna look at the camera

and we're gonna say "cheese."

Cheese!

- No, you don't.

- Ow.

- My man.

- Maury.

Hey, you know you were

missed out here.

Yeah, well,

I'm happy to be home.

- How you been?

- These are interesting times.

Yeah, that's a nice hat.

- You like this?

- Yeah, it looks good.

- Well, it's yours.

- No.

- Hey, I want you to have it.

- It's not me.

But it looks good on you.

- You know I moved.

- No. Where you at now?

I bought a house over

in south Hadley.

- For real?

- Mm-hmm.

- You're moving on up.

- It's a really cute place.

- You should stop by. -You brought

the birds with you, right?

Of course.

They love it out there.

- What did you learn out in the marines?

- I learned a lot.

- Oh, yeah?

- Mm-hmm.

- Computers?

Yeah, in the commercials

they're all on the computers.

Nah, not me.

What employable skills

do you currently possess?

I know about heavy artillery.

- You gonna re-enlist?

- I don't think so.

- Thought about jobs?

- No, but I need to.

Do you know why Dominicans

make great drug dealers? Hmm?

Because they know

how to talk to people.

In the '80s, Colombians,

they had all the product

but zero people skills.

Boricuas, Peruvians...

No one knew how

to talk to black people.

Dominicans can sell anyone.

Black, white, purple, brown.

In this business, it's all

about personal relationships.

I could use a man like you.

How do you feel about

steering the ship?

- Me?

- I need someone I can trust.

What do you say, Nelson?

Your own enterprise.

I appreciate the offer.

I really do.

But I'm trying to do

something else right now.

Like what?

Settle down, have a family.

- You're a family man.

- That's the plan.

Okay. It's a good plan.

Silver frame, half-tint, non-polarized

photochromatic lenses."

I don't want

the same glasses as you.

It's like when

they looking at you,

is like they looking at me.

What's going on?

Those f***ers is back

on state street.

Yeah, I got something for 'em.

Yo.
