out here.

- The streets is talking.

- What's the talk?

They trying to catch a body.

That's you.

- Where's Nicky at now? -They

say he staying out in N.Y.

But he coming in tonight

on the late boat.

Soon as he's here,

they getting busy.

You want us to call up the team?

I got you, kid.

Yeah, I don't know.

I hit you up later.

Yo, Nel.

Why'd you come back?

Where else am I gonna go?

I don't see no ice.

Y'all motherfuckers

really don't listen, huh?

Y'all gotta move.

This is me right here.

I do this here.

Stay the f*** out the flats.

Where'd you put the work at?

What? You think

I'm playing with you?

Yo, get off of him!

Yo, back up.

I'm serious, man.

Fall back.

What's going on?

I need everyone out of here.

You picked a hell

of a time to go up there.

- It's just for a couple days.

- You and your criminal friends.

Why do you keep

calling them that?

- Because that's what they are.

- Not all of them.

Oh, I'm sorry. My apologies to your one

friend who doesn't have a criminal record.

I'd love to meet him.

Maybe we could all get brunch.

You at least gonna Finnish

the goddamned crib?

I already told you,

it don't got all the parts.

- Did you call Ikea?

- They said they'd send them.

When?

Soon.

And you're just gonna leave

all that sh*t on the floor.

I can't even walk around

barefoot in my own house.

Just don't walk there.

One of those little screws

might roll around.

- It's on the rug.

- I walk on the rug.

I sit on the rug.

That's my grandma's rug!

- Why are you shouting at me?

- Because I'm stressed.

And when I get stressed,

my brain gets stressed.

And when my brain gets stressed

it makes cortisol.

You ever heard of it?

It's toxic, by the way.

That's what you're doing

to me right now.

And that goes down through me

and poisons him.

I want you to know that's what

you're doing. You're poisoning us!

No one's poisoning you, Janine.

Can't you just do something nice

for once in your life

so I can create

dopamine instead of poison?

- The doctor said you should...

- Are you a doctor?

Did you even get

your g.E.D.?

- I passed the math. -Do you come to

any of the appointments with us?

- Some. -The f*** do you

know what the doctor says?

- I know what the doctor says.

- What'd the doctor say?

- That I need to relax!

- So do that.

Go f*** yourself, Nicky.

You just gonna sit there

and eat cake?

- Angie baked it.

- It burned.

- Teresa, go to your room.

- Why I gotta go?

- Now!

- Every f***ing time.

- We need to leave town.

- I ain't going nowhere.

- We can be in Boston tonight.

- Boston.

- We can stay at my uncle's.

- I don't know about that.

- What's there to know?

- I'll call him right now.

- I just got home. Damn. -Well,

sh*t's changed a little ways.

- Well, I've changed too.

- Baby...

Can I have my cake

and eat it, too?

- That's not even what it means.

- What the f*** you mean?

Can you just do this for me? We

still gonna get a place together?

- Of course.

- So let's do that.

- In Boston?

- It's not that far.

- What about your job?

- I'll find work out there.

- Your uncle don't like me.

- He'll get over it.

None of that matters.

We'll figure it out.

There are people coming

to kill you.

Get the f*** out

of here already.

I don't like this.

It's just a couple days.

- Can I help you?

- Two for Boston.

Just missed one.

That'll be $42.50.

Do you know what time the last

bus from New York gets in?

Last bus from port authority

gets in at...

11:
55 pm.

Wanna get something to eat?

I'm good.

You'll like Boston.

You'll see.

I ain't with the Red Sox.

- You don't like big papi?

- I am big papi.

- Yeah, but you're kinda short, though.

- F*** you.

Good book?

- Excuse me?

- It look like a good book.

It's a magazine.

- Trouble getting your ticket?

- I'm sorry?

'Cause, I had trouble with mine.

Think some of the buses

is having problems.

Yeah. Problems.

- Where you say you was going?

- I didn't.

What's up?

These guys bothering you?

- It's all right.

- We was just asking...

- I'm not talking to you.

- Let's go outside.

- You going somewhere?

- Do I know you?

How far you gonna run this time?

- Don't make us go too far.

- You don't have to go nowhere,

- I'm right here.

- Don't do this.

- You got something to do?

- Who the f*** is you?

- I got this.

- Got what?

- You wanna swing at me?

- Walk away.

Go ahead, swing at me, son.

- Tell your b*tch to get out the way.

- What the f*** you say?

Look at me! Look at me!

Look at me!

The hell is wrong with you?

- Let's go. Let's go!

- Get yours soon enough.

- You're cotton candy.

- Baby's bottom, nigga.

- What's wrong with you?

- I didn't start that!

I don't care who started that.

What are you, five years old?

I'm not gonna let

some dude disrespect you.

- I didn't ask for that.

- You don't need to ask.

You see? This is exactly

why we need to leave.

I ain't going.

- What?

- I can't go to Boston.

What are you talking about?

I can't wake up every day worried

about people coming to get me.

So you're just gonna jump

back into the same bullshit?

- Livvy, you didn't...

- No, that makes no sense.

I ain't running this time.

I ain't scared.

I waited for you.

You messed up and you

went away and I waited.

You promised me.

You said no more running

around here, no more marines.

I'm sorry.

You f***ing promised.

- What's up?

- Kade's on his way now.

Nel, yo!

Good to see you, man.

- Yo, sit down, I got you.

- I didn't come here for a cut.

- Hey, yo. Listen up.

What I tell you about

touching the remote, nigga?

- Shut the f*** up, Cezar.

- I was at the bus station.

I got into it with two dudes

from up the hill.

- The f***? -They were

talking sh*t to my girl.

I think they were

waiting for me.

- They messed with Livvy? -These

motherfuckers got no respect.

Y'all know Nicky Quinn

is coming, right?

Nicky Quinn?

- Sh*t.

- Oh, he coming here?

F*** that.

I need to know if y'all got me.

Yo, I don't want

no problems in my shop, yo.

- F*** your shop.

- Nel, how you want to do this?

The only thing I'm thinking is,

I wanna get 'em by surprise.

- That's what's up.

- The bus gets in at midnight.

As soon as they get out the station,

they're gonna be on central.

There's no cops, no nothing.

- Right.

- They get a few blocks away

- we press 'em. That's it.

- Bomb, nigga.

- I can get with that. -Yo, we all

down to fight for you, Nelson.

Yo, who you fighting, son?

- How many people they got?

- I don't know. I only saw two.

- That ain't nothing. -They might

have more coming, though.

- I'll Merc their whole family.

- We're closing early tonight.

- What can I say?

- P*ssy.

- 'Sup, Nelson?

- Kade.

I heard you was back.

I am.

What you come here for?

So we could handle this.

Why would we do that?

It was been real quiet

for a minute now.

Things are good.

There's no heat on us.

It's true, Nel.

Okay, so y'all doing good.
