8 Mile Page #4

My bad. I'm sorry.

You gonna let him push you?

FUTURE:
You can't catch me

and you never will!

JIMMY:
Out of my way, freaky girl!

WINK:
Wipe your feet. Hey, wipe your feet!

FUTURE:
You like?

She's getting out of the D, though.

Negro, please.

That's what they all say.

No, I think she's different.

That chick

really blew both you guys?

I'm a sinner, James.

Come to church with me

in the morning.

I saw you talking to Papa Doc

in the Chin Tiki.

-How do you know him?

-You mean Clarence?

He went to Cranbrook

with Christine's brother.

CHEDDAR:
You want to dance?

KYLA:
Not right now.

F***ing Wink.

Trying to keep us in division...

with that fake-ass

Big Willie wannabe talk.

-Nothing wrong with a free demo.

-Free comes with a dick up your ass.

Three One Third is real.

What Wink is talking about is wack.

DJ IZ:
Another example of people's needs

being denied by the city.

The media should be all over this.

It'll happen again.

The city don't give a f***.

What is he talking about?

The abandoned house

where the girl got raped.

DJ IZ:
It's called

an ''attractive nuisance.''

It wouldn't still be standing if

it were on the other side of 8 Mile.

It could have been Lily.

FUTURE:
Burn this sh*t down to the ground.

That's what I mean.

JIMMY:
F***, yeah, man!

Burn this f***ing thing down!

DJ IZ:
This is the definition

of an attractive nuisance.

CHEDDAR:
Come on, let's burn this b*tch.

ROCKY:
Right behind you.

DJ IZ:
That's what I mean.

FUTURE:
I thought I had matches.

SOL:
You got my lighter?

FUTURE:
I gave it back.

CHEDDAR:
I got one.

FUTURE:
Wait, what are you doing?

ALL:
No!

JIMMY:
What the f***, you guys!

SOL:
I'm gonna f*** you up, Cheddar!

Burn!

Hey! I burned the house down!

GUYS:
[Singing] The roof, the roof

The roof is on fire

We don't need no water

let the motherf***er burn

Burn, motherf***er, burn!

It's almost beautiful.

JIMMY:
When I was little, I wanted to live

in a house like this.

You know, how it used to be.

You live with your family?

I got out of there

as quick as I could.

I left home when I was 17.

What about you?

[Sirens wail]

Sort of the same.

When you record your demo...

I'd really love to be there.

WINK:
Hey, girl! Is it hot enough for you?

You're going to be great.

I got a feeling about you.

KYLA:
Let's go, Alex.

I'll see you.

See you.

FUTURE:
Cheddar, bring your ass on!

Come on!

WOODY WOODPECKER: [Over TV]

Pesky mosquito!

Let's see.

Oh, yeah. ''And the mirror said,

'Not you, Queenie.'''

STEPHANIE:
Sh*t!

What's wrong?

We're being evicted. God damn it!

JIMMY:
Come on, Mum. Not in front of Lily.

I can't let Greg find out.

F*** Greg.

I'm three months late.

STEPHANIE:
We've0 days to get the money.

JIMMY:
''We''?

If you want to live here,

you got to start chipping in.

Where's Greg's settlement cheque?

Get the money from him.

I can't.

He's going to ask me and Lily

to move away with him.

Some place nice real soon.

I can't freak him out--

Mum, stop living

your life like this!

If you cared about Lily, you'd get

a job and quit f***ing around.

I got to go. I'll be late for work.

What are you doing with your life

that's so great, Rabbit?

Wink's working on a deal...

where I can get free studio time...

to record my demo.

Yeah.

Right.

'Bye, baby.

[Rapping] Alex Latourno

Hotter than an inferno

Hotter than a crack house

Burn internal

JOE LEE:
Up!

Down!

Why does Manny give me

so much sh*t all the time?

Maybe because

you give him reason to.

Stick to the plan, man.

Just do your work

and shut the f*** up.

Up!

Down!

Why haven't you called?

Janeane, I can't talk here.

You'll get me fired.

I'm your girlfriend.

No, you're not. We broke up.

I'll call you later.

You just left without saying a word.

I left you the car.

Was it 'cause I said I was pregnant?

I know why you said that bullshit.

-You have to go.

-I didn't know what else to do.

Tell me why you left

and I'll leave you alone.

It's not you, okay? It's me.

It's my sh*t. I had to go.

Why?

-What are you running from?

-Nothing!

Would you just go!

Everyone's calling you a loser

from the other night.

-Who is?

-Everybody's talking about it.

How you froze up

and got booed offstage.

F*** you! Go home.

What was that all about?

Sorry, Manny. It wasn't my....

It won't happen again.

Good. Don't be bringing that sh*t

around here.

Now get back to work.

FUTURE:
Rakim was the first rapper

with complex lyrics.

But as far as beats and lyrics go,

Biggie is the bomb.

I can't believe y'all talk about

complex sh*t and leave out 2Pac.

F*** 2Pac!

Nigga, you crazy? Pac's the only

lyrical motherf***er out there!

He's right. His sh*t has emotion.

-What about the Beasties?

-F*** them.

How can you even bring them

in the mix?

They bust some serious sh*t.

Those white boys are

more like busters on serious sh*t.

I won't bump no Beasties.

But it's always easier

for whites to succeed...

in a black man's medium. Right, B?

FUTURE:
Word up. It's true.

FUTURE:
What are you doing, man?

SOL:
Rabbit!

FUTURE:
Oh, sh*t.

CHEDDAR:
Don't worry, Rabbit.

I got your back!

Hey, what's up, B?

You want to f*** with us?

Get off me.

LC:
What the f*** you gonna do?

WINK:
Come on, man!

FUTURE:
Let him go.

[Gunshot]

You want to f*** with us?

F*** with us, yeah?

What the f*** are you doing?

Where'd you get that sh*t?

It's my mum's.

Put it away

before you f***ing kill somebody!

Papa Doc had one!

Put it away!

Man, put it down.

JIMMY:
Come on.

Okay.

[Gunshot]

PAPA DOC:
F***, man.

LC:
Sh*t!

What the f***?

Oh, sh*t!

Let's get out of here.

FUTURE:
Sh*t!

WINK:
We got to get him to a hospital.

SOL:
Where are the keys?

JIMMY:
Get the car!

I got to put pressure on it.

Try not to think about it.

My God.

He shot his f***ing dick off.

-Did I?

-Man, shut the f*** up!

-Take Gratiot to McDougal.

-I live here, too.

FUTURE:
I know how to get there!

JIMMY:
Do it!

Rabbit's going to teach me

to write rhymes.

What were you doing with a gun?

What were you doing

with those f***ers?

I have a show with them!

Calm the f*** down, y'all!

MC Bob.

JIMMY:
What?

CHEDDAR:
MC Bob.

JIMMY:
What do you mean?

CHEDDAR:
Is it a good name?

What's wrong with Cheddar Bob?

I like MC Bob. Right?

Yeah. MC Bob.

WINK:
I got that fat man

out of Mickey D's.

Roy's going to interview him

at JLB and I'll be there.

It's gonna be on!

The doctor said he hit an artery,

but he'll be okay.

That's good, man.

SOL:
Where were you?

Praying. Is he all right?

Let's go, man.

Wink told us how he got in

with Roy Darucher.

DJ IZ:
That sh*t's hot, man.

SOL:
He's doing an interview down at JLB.

Why are you listening to this clown?

What?

You heard me. Clown.

WINK:
Why you got to be like that?

This is a good deal for him.

It's for real.

It's for real?

Like the time you said

your cousin worked for Dr. Dre?

Or the time you were real tight...

with the intern

in Russell Simmons' office?
