no one was around

and I couldn't find the keys and...

- I know, it looks a little bit shady.

- No, not at all.

I don't want to know.

Units, dispatch is available.

Do I come across clear?

Come here. Come on,

come on. Come on, come on.

- What are you doing, Frankie? I'm working.

- I know. I know, hey.

- I know what you're thinking.

- What are you doing with a f***ing yellow--

Know why? 'Cause who would think

I stole a f***ing yellow car'!

Who would steal a yellow car'!

Exactly. Nobody. I'm smart.

And, if you're getting p*ssy and

you drive this car, you know she loves you.

- Come on, we gotta go.

- Frankie, I'm working, I can't.

Gotta make time, let's go.

Trust me, we gotta go.

All right, one second.

Hey, Burnell, cover for me.

I'll be one second.

Yeah, all right.

I mean, really, who steals a yellow car'!

It goes with my green jacket.

And the brown.

Oh, so when I stole it,

I f***ed the door up.

I'm like driving around having

to f***ing hold the door.

It's a clown car, man.

This is embarrassing.

Let's just pull around the comer,

we'll jack something that's not yellow, okay'!

It's called y yellow.

I think the suspension on this car's f***ed.

F***, man. Everybody can't

be as good as you, bro.

Everybody can't take the f***ing

hot rods all the f***ing time.

It's easy for me to pop this sh*t. Come on.

All right.

What's up?

Damn, whose funeral?

- Yours.

- Yo, what the f***'s you: problem, man'!

- You all right, Frankie?

- Yo, yo, Ray, man.

Shut the f*** up, Frankie.

- Like Montezuma's revenge of the mouth.

- What? I didn't. Say sh*t, man!

- Why you hitting me, man?

- Yeah, man. What the f***?

- What the f***'!

- What the f***?

What the f*** was you doing

at the police station this morning?

Yo, chill, man. Come on, man.

You think I don't know

about your little girlfriend?

You think she can't

be taken away from your life

just as quickly as

she was brought back into it'!

So let's try this one more time.

Hold up, man!

I was dropping her of! For work, that's it.

All right? I haven't said jack sh*t.

She doesn't know nothing. I swear to God.

- At the police station?

- Yeah, she just works there, that's it.

- She a cop, Frank?

- Oh, man. Nah, man, come on.

- She's not a cop.

- Yo, I didn't know that.

She's not a cop.

Is she a cop?

Please listen to me.

I promise you, she's not

a f***ing cop, all right?

The f***, man'!

She ain't a cop. We cool, right'!

- Jimmy, tell 'em.

- I promise you she's not a f***ing cop.

Chill, man. She ain't a cop. F***.

F***ing my hair all up and sh*t.

- You all right?

- Don't shoot my dick, man.

- You be fight, man, relax.

- Don't point that sh*t at my dick.

Come on, let's go.

- Come on, Jimmy.

- What the f***, Frankie'!

Hey, remember...

remember when you almost blew

your hand off that Fourth of July...

with that homemade

blockbuster you made'!

Sh*t, Jimmy. That was crazy.

Every car alarm

in the neighborhood went off.

And you were just looking at me, right'!

I remember you had

this look in your eye like...

you're like

like you discovered p*ssy or something.

I couldn't hear sh*t for a week.

You're the one that put the sugar

in her gas tank, aren't you'!

That was you.

- Jimmy, come on.

- You tried to set us up so that I couldn't run.

Jimmy.

- That was you.

- Come on, Jimmy. I wouldn't do that.

I swear, Jimmy.

I didn't know they were gonna do that.

I didn't know, man.

I know, it's not nice. I know.

But it's smart though, right?

They needed someone close to you

to get to that you cared about, right? So...

Anyway, look, hey,

it's a good thing, no'!

I like that girl.

Nothing's gonna happen.

Some f***ing brother I got.

You're a f***ing piece of work, Frankie.

You know that?

I'm done eating.

I'm done.

You remember when Dad went away?

Do you? You were young.

Do you remember how Mom fell apart'!

- What the f***'!

- We had nothing!

No one to come to!

I remember that sh*t.

I remember I came home,

I found you locked out of the house...

'cause Mom had a f***ing n*gger over.

And you were filthy.

And I cleaned you up.

I fed you.

I stole everything for us, Jimmy.

Everything, man.

I stole everything for us.

All your gear,

your first set of tools.

Yeah, I made mistakes,

I'm a piece of sh*t.

What can I say? I'm human.

But I always looked out

for my little brother...

to the best of my abilities...

even if they were somewhat

impaired.

It was always me

and you against the world.

Me and you...

against the world.

Me and you, Frankie.

It was me and you.

I'm gonna go take a piss.

Yo, Frankie.

Yeah?

You ever wonder what life

would be like if--

if you never pulled trig

on that cop 10 years ago'!

But I did, Jimmy.

I did.

Hey, I was just thinking about you.

I think we should check out this new place

in the Bywater.

I was just reading about it.

What do you think'!

Something's wrong.

I just wanted to say that your car works again.

Come on, what's wrong with it?

Last week...

we were together...

that was not good.

Of course, I was...

It's stupid to do something never existed

to start again.

I agree with you.

How much do you get me?

This was business, you repair my car.

Let me...

I do not want your f***ing money.

I'm sorry, it's...

- I care about you and can not explain it...

- Apparently not.

- I understand it very well.

- I'm out of town.

When?

- Tomorrow.

- Go traveling again with your brother?

- Do not.

- I write my name.

You must understand.

If it was different...

If I could explain it, as it could otherwise...

I do not want this. Save me.

Go, James.

Listen, I care about you.

I understand that. And yet you go away.

Go.

I'll leave you alone.

Alarm Line, you name it.

- I blow you up, stunned.

- You missed.

This I do not miss.

- Emily, do you want coffee?

- No, I'm already on my second.

An explosion in Greenpoint.

Send reinforcements.

- Could you repeat that?

- An explosion, send reinforcements.

I need units to respond to alarms at

St. Charles and Jackson and in the Quarter

at Ursulines and Chartres.

We have an MVA with a tour bus

I'm sorry, unit 61, could you please repeat?

Did you say, A tour bus and three chained vehicles?

Copy that. Another explosion reported

by city parks. A car bomb.

Looks like it's gonna be a busy morning.

Looks like it's gonna rain.

Nobody f***ing move!

F***ing move,

I'll show you your f***ing insides.

- Come on, get down!

- Down, motherf***er! Down!

No phone calls, b*tch!

You! Down! Down!

Hands, ladies!

Show us your f***ing hands'!

- Against the f***ing wall!

- Let's go, ladies. Out the back.

Get the f*** down!

- Let's go! Move it, move it, move it!

- Give me your cell phones!

- Stay down! Stay down!

- Quick, quick, quick, quick.

- Everybody listen up!

- Take a deep breath and relax!

We're here to rob the bank, not you.

In the five minutes we spend here,

the CEO of this bank will make more money...

off of all of you than we take from him.
