12 O'Clock Boys Page #6

Synopsis: Pug, a wisecracking 13 year old living on a dangerous Westside block, has one goal in mind: to join The Twelve O'Clock Boys; the notorious urban dirt-bike gang of Baltimore. Converging from all parts of the inner city, they invade the streets and clash with police, who are forbidden to chase the bikes for fear of endangering the public. When Pug's older brother dies suddenly, he looks to the pack for mentorship, spurred by their dangerous lifestyle. Pug's story is coupled with unprecedented, action-packed coverage of the riders in their element. The film presents the pivotal years of change in a boy's life growing up in one of the most dangerous and economically depressed cities in the US.

your motherfuckin' bike.

Don't keep f***in' taking me

for a motherfuckin' joke.

I'm sick of this sh*t.

Clean this motherfuckin' yard

up and get this sh*t the f*** up.

All your f***in' company

about to go the f*** home.

So when you were gonna tell me

somebody stole the bike?

I was gonna go

get it back.

Well, when you gonna go get it

back? How you gonna go get it back?

I'm gonna get it back.

You don't

appreciate sh*t, Pug.

I don't have money

like this. You punished.

How are

you gonna get it back?

I'm gonna take it

back. He's dead.

Don't make me act

like Coco.

What you got?

No. This is

University Parkway, dummy.

Yeah? So I should turn around?

He so f***ed. B*tch.

Get in this right lane!

Get in this right lane!

Hey, old man.

Can we cross?

Can we get in?

Can we cross, sir?

Thank you. Thanks, b*tch. Ugly ass.

How the f*** I'm-a get a job,

and they keep...

Pet stores and all them CVS, all that

sh*t, keep giving me their bullshit.

"Oh, you have to be 16." "Oh, you

have to be 15 and nine months. "

F*** that bullshit.

You got a lot

of vocabulary now.

I know. Right? Where'd you

learn all that language?

Good vocabulary,

ain't it?

Where'd you learn

all that language?

School, nigga.

School.

There go the helicopters. Flock

must be over there. Go, go, go.

- Twelve, yo! Hey, yo!

- Yo!

F*** them! F*** them!

F*** the police!

Yeah, f*** them!

F*** the police, yo!

F*** them!

You got your whole

life to see the bikes.

No.

Why not?

Tomorrow or today

not promised.

You could die any minute.

Right or left?

Straight.

He got killed runnin'

from the police that day.

Dropped him

right off his dirt bike.

Right there on North Avenue.

Something wrong

with his mind frame.

I don't know

what's wrong with it,

but his mind frame is nothing

like how Tibba's mind frame was.

I'm doing everything

that I'm supposed to do.

I'm gettin' him bikes.

I'm lettin' him wear

the best clothing there is.

He have all these animals

and pets and everything...

that he just left here

with me to deal with.

He's just roaming the streets,

not listening,

and I can't deal

with it no more.

So when I go to court, I

might just let them keep him...

or put him on

a home monitor.

'Cause this got to stop.

Because he gonna get me

in a world of trouble.

If I go to jail,

they takin' all my kids.

It's sad, but I'm-a

get it straight though.

Trust me on that one.

I'm-a get his ass evaluated.

That's what I'm-a do.

Were you at Chesterfield?

Yeah.

I have a grandson

that live up there.

What's his name? He want

me to call him Jo-Jo.

- Did you pass?

- I think so.

You should know so.

Come on, Pug.

Talk about your grades.

They... They good.

They not excellent.

They good though.

They good enough to get you by? Yeah.

Are you sure?

Mm-hmm.

Mmm. So what does

your future hold for you?

Probably

being a veterinarian.

That's wonderful. You

like animals? Mm-hmm.

That's good. Give me a smile on that.

Look at that fox.

Damn. He came from over there.

That was crazy.

But it takes a lot

to keep one person straight.

What they say? It takes a

village to raise a child.

It really does.

She can raise Pug by herself,

but she shouldn't have to.

One person trying to raise a

motherf***er like that? It's a lot.

Every city has a Pug.

Every hood has a Pug.

This is what

the ghetto produces...

hostile environments,

anger, stress, depression.

You know, dealin' with

all of this sh*t...

on a day-to-day,

on a regular basis,

you gonna have

a negative f***in' outcome.

It's a recipe.

To jump on a dirt bike and

leave all that sh*t behind...

with first, second gear,

third gear...

All that sh*t

don't mean nothin'.

Yeah. We gonna ride, nigga.

We gonna ride.

F*** who's sayin'

we can't ride.

I changed over the years

though.

Because back then,

if that b*tch would've

slapped me on my face,

I would've beat that b*tch up.

I know I would've.

What was it today? Yeah.

My principal wanna

put me out anyway.

She says if I get

in trouble again...

or if I touch

any of her students...

I'm gonna be walkin' out

with silver bracelets.

She don't like me.

Why not?

'Cause I'm the sh*t.

'Cause you're the sh*t? Yeah.

What makes you

the sh*t?

I don't think

I'm the sh*t.

My principal

don't like me because...

I don't know.

She never did.

One day, this little boy tried to

lie and say I took his money, right?

So we all go

to the little...

Me and Bootsy

and the little boy.

He say me and Bootsy, we rob

and we takin' money with a gun.

B*tch, how we bring

a gun to school?

So we tell our side

of the story.

She say, "I don't

believe you anyway.

You always in my office. "

That's some f***ed-up sh*t

to tell somebody, ain't it?

All right, Pug.

Around about 2:
00, 3:00,

we go to the house.

We make sure everybody upstairs

or everybody asleep.

And then,

grab the bike.

My man got the van

for that.

Put the bike in the van

and be gone.

Let me get a picture

of my b*tch.

My new b*tch.

That sound about right.
