- Yolanda.

- Yolanda. I like that.

- Thank you.

Tell you what, Yolanda.

If I could impress you,

would you let me call you one time?

You gonna impress me?

Knock yourself out.

How the hell you do that?

Walking is the only thing

I can't do, baby. You feel me?

It's 717...

- I'm listening.

- 21...

- 82.

- That's what I'm talking about.

Bye.

I just love watching you walk.

- Stop.

- You look good coming and going.

Thank you.

Did you get the number, man?

I knew your ass was good

for something, motherf***er.

- She is beautiful, Luc.

- I wasn't bullshitting, was it?

Hell no. She's fine.

Man, I'll tell you, I'll wait

out here fifteen hours for that.

Sh*t, she just looked back.

Don't look. Don't look.

- Alright.

- Just be cool.

We should just peel out of here.

Yeah, she's looking all the way.

- Don't look anxious, right?

- No, we gonna go the opposite way.

- We can't be, you know...

- I'm in there then, sh*t.

You see that ass? Like a motherf***er.

Sh*t, I'ma put her ass in a wheelchair.

Sh*t.

Two years? Jesus.

- Hey.

- Yo!

- Where's the man? Where's Danny?

- He's inside. Let me go get him, brother.

- Danny.

- Yeah?

The boys are here.

Sh*t.

- Danny boy!

- Motherfuckers.

Welcome home, man.

- Come here, man. God damn.

- What's up, brother?

- Ain't nobody tamper with you, did they?

- No, no, no.

- Mel?

- I'm good. Taking the night off.

- Don't be a p*ssy, man. Let's drink.

- Yeah. He just got out of the joint.

Hey, the motherf***er's in training.

Won't you two just chill the f*** out?

Just trying to make some changes.

What? It's my first night back, man.

I thought we was gonna roll all night.

- We are, man. I'm hanging!

- You're hanging.

What the f*** you talking about, hanging?

I've been away two years.

You're gonna hang my first night back?

Man, the brother is getting

his life together for Rex.

- No sh*t.

- Yeah, man.

- You doing it for your boy?

- I am.

Good on you then, brother.

I'm proud of you.

- You're a good man, Mel.

- Yeah.

I, however, am not a f***ing good man.

And if I wake up alive tomorrow, I'm gonna

consider this night a motherfucking waste.

I probably won't remember none

of this sh*t anyway.

- He never remembers sh*t.

- Don't take too long, guys.

- Come on up.

- I gotta try, man. That's all. I gotta try.

- It's f***ing good to see you, brother.

- You too.

- It's good to see you, too, Luc.

- Hell yeah, that's good.

Let's get to seeing some ass right here.

You see that right there?

That's what's good to see. Time to ride.

Hey, what up, homie?

Hey, holla at your boy.

That's what's good. You straight?

You staying out of trouble?

Alright, man. Stay out of trouble, man.

You know what this is?

- I don't know. You tell me.

- It's sober hand.

Okay.

I'm sober.

When I was in the hospital,

I did a lot of thinking.

All the things you were saying.

Lucille's been telling me for years.

And I'm ready.

I'm ready to do some good

in this community.

Is that why you show up to crime scenes and

relieve the suspects of their stolen goods?

Come on, man. That was then, this is now.

I've been through something.

No f***ing around. I wanna help you.

Really? Ready to take on

that responsibility?

Yes.

Tell me what you want me to do.

I always knew you'd be the one, Melvin.

Your natural abilities, the sh*t you can do.

I've known you for years.

It's still amazing.

Hey, what's up, b*tches?

That's the sh*t I'm dealing with

every goddamn day.

You know that motherf***er

peddles rock and smack to kids

not much older than your son.

Yeah, I know.

That's why I'm here.

Thanks, Jimmy.

Thanks for believing in me, buddy.

Be careful with Nathan.

He's a dangerous motherf***er, man.

Alright.

- You ready?

- Yeah, I got this.

- Melvin.

- Sh*t. I'm sorry, man.

You... you are not as ready

as you think you are.

What the hell you doing here?

What you want?

Where's Nathan at?

You know you don't belong

around here so take your ass home.

Get Nathan down here now.

Say what, now? So you giving me orders?

- Get the f*** out of here before you get hurt.

- I'm not moving.

- Maybe this'll help you.

- Yeah? Go for it. Make your move.

Make your f***ing move.

What you got?

You got a piece back there? Bring it.

- Man, how the f*** you do that?

- You tell Nathan I wanna see him.

Anytime, anywhere.

Bunch of f***ing pussies, hurting kids.

This is just a small way of saying

welcome to our home, Ryan.

It's Melvin's favorite cake.

I'm really thrilled that he has decided

to make certain positive changes.

- Come on, Mom. Please?

- Mom, that is embarrassing. Stop.

Thank you so much for welcoming me

into your lovely home, Miss Hesper.

Melvin, would you like

to personally greet Ry?

Love to. You hurt my sister,

I'm gonna break your f***ing jaw.

- Melvin, language.

- I'm just kidding you, buddy.

Sorry, Ryan, let me just apologize

for my mentally handicapped brother

- who's a total dick.

- Ryan. How hungry are you feeling?

It certainly looks delicious. I'll take

a healthy size piece. Thank you very much.

You do have lovely manners.

I appreciate a young man who knows

how to say please and thank you.

And where's your delightful accent from?

I'm originally from Oklahoma, Miss Hesper.

- Well, please call me Eileen. I insist.

- Stop it.

No, me and the kid's father, we went

up to Oklahoma once. It was...

- What the hell is going on?

- Seriously, can you stop?

And we were in this like yellow Cadillac.

And it was just so much fun.

- What the f***!

- Ryan, language please.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- Stop showing off.

Well, great. Thank you. Thanks, Melvin.

I swear to God, you are such a penis!

What? I thought that went rather well.

I liked him. She liked him.

I'm playing around, Mom. Jesus.

One evening where we could just sit

as a family and have a nice little piece...

Come on. I'm just... F***.

Hey, man.

Where the f*** are you going now?

It's Lucille.

What is he?

I don't know.

I have no way of explaining it.

- Where's 167?

- Right there.

Look, Mel, man, you need to leave.

You can't be around us, man.

- How is he?

- How is he?

Nathan walked up and stuck a bullet in him

'cause of something you did, man.

Just walked up and shot

the cat outside my place.

- I'm sorry, Luc. I am so sorry, bro.

- Hey, Mel, listen, man.

If you're really sorry, the best thing

you can do is leave, bro.

- Yeah, just get the f*** it.

- F*** you, Lyle.

- This is between me and Lucille.

- But it's not between you and Lucille anymore.

It's between all of us. You're the one

who brought us into this thing.

- You need to walk away.

- He's right.

I mean, you started a war

we can't fight, bro.

Hey. Hey!

- Promise me.

- Mel, look what you got us into.

Luc, talk to me.

Let me take care of you, brother.

Get the f*** out, Melvin.

Alright.

You gotta be f***ing kidding me.

Melvin.

Hey, Jimmy.

I thought you were giving up the drink.
