21 Grams

[ Chattering ]

- [ Rock ]

- Check, please.

Look, Daddy,

a volcano.

It's very pretty.

Now drink up your volcano.

All right. We're going.

Mommy's waiting.

Daddy, please.

Just one more minute.

No. We're going.

No.

- Yes. Yes.

- No.

No.

Until I ended up

flatlining at the hospital.

But I survived.

And instead of

letting that scare me,

I kept on going.

Until...

my first daughter

was born.

And now,

I look at my girls...

and my husband,

who has been standing

by me for so long.

Think which one

you're gonna pull out.

I always think, man.

No, you don't.

They didn't lock you up this time

'cause you're not 18 yet.

Next time, they're gonna

lock you up, brother.

Come on.

Well, you're not thinkin'.

Stealing might get you money,

you can tap

some cheerleader's ass,

you can show off riding

in some pickle-colored Thunderbird,

but tell me what's gonna happen

if you shoot a pregnant woman

or an old man, huh?

[ Liquid Pouring ]

You know what'll happen?

The guilt will suck you

down to the bone.

Stealing ain't worth it.

Going to church,

reading the Bible...

and believing in Jesus, brother,

that's your ticket.

[ Snickers ]

Yeah.

You think

it's a fantasy, right?

Huh?

Come here, man.

Get up. Come here.

[ Traffic Noises ]

See that truck?

Beauty, isn't it?

[ Horn Honks ]

I won it

at a friend's raffle.

No sh*t.

No sh*t.

You know what?

It wasn't luck.

It was Jesus who wanted me

to have that truck.

That's bullshit.

I bet you stole it.

Jesus gave me that truck.

And as He who gives

and He who takes away.

Yeah, right.

He doesn't give a sh*t

about us.

Come back.

Come back.

Take off the hat.

Take off that hat.

God even knows

when a single hair

moves on your head.

You're wrong, Nick.

[ Machines Beeping ]

[ Man Thinking ]

So, this is death's waiting room.

These ridiculous tubes.

These needles swelling my arms.

What am I doing

in this pre-corpse club?

What do I have to

do with them?

I don't know when

anything began anymore...

or when it's gonna end.

Who will be the first

to lose his life?

He, in the coma?

Or me?

[ Buzzing ]

[ Sniffing ]

[ Sniffing ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Paper Crinkling ]

[ Clattering ]

All right.

You can get dressed now.

Your Fallopian tubes

are severely damaged.

It, uh, looks like you had

some kind of an infection...

that, uh, wasn't taken

care of properly.

We can try surgery,

but I have to tell you,

I think, uh,

the probabilities

are pretty slim.

Look.

Excuse me for asking this,

but it's important

that you tell me the truth.

Have you ever

had an abortion?

Yes.

Any reason?

I had already separated

from my husband

when I got pregnant,

and l--

No. I meant

a medical reason.

My husband's dying.

I'm sorry?

Paul, my husband,

he's dying,

and I want to have his baby.

We can operate then

and hope you get pregnant

within three or four months.

[ Snickers ]

He's got one month left,

at most.

How'd it go?

Not good, Reverend.

In one ear,

out the other.

Be patient.

All it takes is one sheep

in a thousand,Jack. Come on.

Afternoon, Reverend.

Hey, Wolf, you still having

that birthday party Wednesday?

My place, brother.

Cool.

I may be late,Jack.

I have Bible class on Wednesday.

What the f***

is wrong with you, man?

[ Arguing Continues ]

- I will hurt you, boy.

- Paul. Paul!

Back off.

Back off.

I told you to think.

F*** you!

- Hit me! Hit me!

Hit me! Hit me!

-Jack!Jack!Jack!

Hey, hey,Jack!

Come on! Come on!

Leave it,Jack.

He's a kid,Jack.

- He's a punk, Reverend.

- No, he's a kid.

You think,Jack.

You think.

[ Man On Radio ]

Those who are making decisions

that affect our life,

we must call out to God

to give them His wisdom.

Daddy's home.

I'll see you tomorrow, Tam.

I'll pick the boys up after school

if you want me to.

[ Door Opens,

Warning Signal Beeping ]

[ Girl ] Daddy!

Hello.

Hey, babe.

How's my queen?

[ Wife Chuckles ]

And Hercules.

[ Girl ]

You don't have a queen.

Freddy, help me out.

I got the cooler

from the religious center.

Good.

- Dad, are we gonna

go buy a dog now?

- Help me out.

Freddy, we agreed no dogs.

Grab the other handle.

Lift it up.

You said if I got good grades,

you'd buy me one.

Your sister has allergies,

and dog hair is bad for her.

Bad for her, not me.

Get me a dog.

Freddy, leave it alone.

Well, at least

get me a hamster.

Well, we'll see.

We'll see.

You always say

you promise.

[ Chattering, Echoing ]

[ Man ]

Hey, Wolf.

You back, motherf***er?

Lock down six!

Six down!

Whoo! I win.

Age before beauty.

You're such

a sore loser.

[ Cell Phone Ringing ]

Do you wanna go

to theJacuzzi for a while?

Sh*t.

No, I can't.

Michael and the girls

are waiting for me already.

Okay.

Well, call me later.

I'll call ya.

Cristina?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Reverend ]

And you get away from leading

your family like a man of God...

ought to lead his family

in prayer...

and reading the word of God

and the things of God...

and bringing them

to the house of God,

[ Man ] Amen.

then you're opening the door

for the devil to come in

and slay your family.

[ Congregation ]

Amen.

Jesus is our light.

[ Congregation ]

Jesus is our light.

Jesus is our hope.

[ Congregation ]

Jesus is our hope.

Jesus is our forgiveness.

Jesus is our forgiveness.

Jesus is the water

that quenches my thirst.

Jesus is the water

that quenches my thirst.

If you're saved

and you know it, say "Amen. "

[ Congregation ]

Amen.

Everybody up on your feet.

- Jesus is our light.

-Jesus is our light.

[ Door Opens ]

Hey, honey, I'm home.

[ Toilet Flushes ]

[ Coughs ]

Hi.

Jesus, you scared me.

How are you feeling?

I feel great.

Have you been

smoking again?

Oh, for f***'s sake, Paul.

You know if they find out

you're smoking, they'll take you

off the transplant list.

If I don't smoke,

I'll go f***in'nuts.

Better nuts than dead.

[ Coughs ]

Is that necessary?

I don't know

how the hell you get them.

[ Wheezing ]

[ Whimpering ]

Baby! Baby! Baby! Baby!

Baby!

Oh, God!

[ Man ]

Hey, Al,you want a Coke?

Jack, boss wants to talk to you.

He wants to see you now.

Come on. We both know

I'm not a caddie yet,

but I'm working at it.

And I'm learning, Brown.

Man, I swear to God,

I'm not going to let you down.

No,Jack,

that's not the problem.

What's the problem?

The problem is some members

have started complaining

about your tattoos.

I got a long-sleeved shirt.

No, man--

No long-sleeved shirt...

You can't see it.

is gonna cover that one

on your neck right there.

You're gonna

start wearing a scarf.

Look,Jack.

This club is for people

different from me and you.
