for fighting.

Is it like that?

I tell you something in

confidence, man-to-man,

and now you throwing that sh*t

back in my face?

I told you

that's who Kenny was

when he was with his mother.

He ain't that kid no more,

he with me.

I'm happy for you.

Nevertheless,

keep your son

away from mine, man,

or we gonna have a problem.

Bruh, we got

a problem right now.

Two black fathers

bonding in the hood.

It's rare.

It's like catching a unicorn.

You don't see it every day, is

what I'm trying to say. Right?

You want a latte?

"One-Stop's Home

and Office Decoration."

Ghetto office.

Ghetto office, you

decorate somebody's sh*t.

So the dog

ate the whole condom?

Yeah.

Frame your face. Sh*t.

Okay, Eddie.

Come on, man.

You know what, I've happened

to have enough of him.

Lord, they shooting!

They shooting out there!

Eddie, stop playing! Get down!

Hell! It'll take me

too long to get back up.

I ain't getting down there,

it ain't worth it.

It's fine.

This ain't Fallujah.

Come on. Everybody, stand up.

My God. I gotta go.

I can't take it.

Baby, that's a gang out there.

It ain't no ice cream truck.

The idea is stay away

from the bullet,

don't go towards them.

I don't think

you understand, Eddie.

My car broke down

earlier today.

I can't be caught outside

with no car

and it's dark

and they're shooting...

Draya, I got you.

It's crazy right now!

I gotta get Maya anyway.

You're on the way,

so I got you.

Are you serious, Rashad?

Hold on,

let me get my stuff.

Thank you.

All right.

You good, Eddie?

Yeah, I'm good.

I need to get on

out of here anyway.

Yeah. No doubt, no doubt.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

With all that ass,

she ain't safe nowhere.

The New York Times

broke this down recently.

Okay, let's see.

The second amendment means

we have a right to bear arms.

Should it also mean that

there is no place in our...

I cannot believe

that crazy man

came in the store

doing that today.

He was wild!

No, he played us all.

He was crazy.

Crazy!

All right, then.

I'll catch you tomorrow.

Are you okay, Rashad?

Like, seriously.

Like, I don't know, lately

you've been so stressed out.

I'm good! I'm good.

You good?

Draya, I'm good.

Well, if you need anything,

even if you just want to talk,

I'm a great listener.

I know you cool.

I appreciate that.

I might take you up

on that one day.

Well, what time

you gotta pick up Maya?

Maybe we can go upstairs

and we could talk now.

Come on, Draya.

What?

You're inviting me

to your house

just to come and talk?

As opposed to what?

I mean, I ain't been out

the game that long, Draya.

Are you serious?

A pretty girl tries

to comfort you

in your time of stress

and whatever the hell else

you're going through,

and you gonna

take it there with me?

Look, my bad.

I thought you was really...

Come on.

Just because I'm thick,

it doesn't mean

I don't have a soul.

But the way you was talking,

it felt like you wanted to...

You know what?

Good night, Rashad.

It felt like...

I thought you was...

Good night, Rashad!

Draya, it felt...

Draya! Draya!

Damn!

Damn...

Man.

Man.

Man, she definitely wanted it.

I know she wanted it!

Hell, yeah!

What do you think?

You think

I ain't gonna think that?

I mean, she got the...

She sitting there

with it all out like, "Yo."

Leaning over. I mean...

I ain't tripping, right?

I ain't been out

the game that long.

You know what I'm saying?

Damn! She said, "You wanna

come inside and talk..."

She definitely wanted it.

Right? Right?

Baby, I just wanted you

to know that you were right!

You hit the nail on the head.

-Babe, listen.

-You had the hammer!

We gonna send his heathen ass

to Catholic school!

-Babe, stop it!

-I'm gonna call the Catholics.

I'm gonna call Jesus.

Somebody call some Marys.

-Okay...

-The Holy Cross, we coming!

You and your lady

having problems?

I can help. You know

I have counseling services.

I got single, I got couple,

I got group.

If you choose groups,

the responsibilities would be

to bring in cookies and, or,

fruit punch

every third meeting.

No, thank you, man. I'm good.

We don't need no damn session.

Here, man. Here's the check.

Calvin,

before I take that check,

I'm going to tell you,

it's non-refundable.

If I take that check,

that check goes away.

And if you don't have that

remaining balance on Monday,

I promise you,

it is not a homing pigeon,

it does not come back.

You know how Mike Tyson has

those birds on that roof?

He can let those birds go.

"Go, go!" You know?

Birds fly around,

birds come back on his hand.

He looks at that bird.

Right?

That ain't gonna happen.

You understand?

I know what

non-refundable means.

It's forfeited.

I just wanna let you know.

'Cause you're my man.

Damn, man. Is it One-Stop

or nonstop? Take the check.

Certified check. Nice.

It's a pleasure doing

business with you, Calvin.

I'm gonna hold off

on that handshake

until you make that remaining

balance payment on Monday.

Just in case

you do some nigga sh*t.

Hey, don't tell nobody.

It's going down

this weekend, y'all!

Jackie, what are you

talking about now?

Girl, my husband's

got me all stressed out.

Police got him working

back-to-back double shifts.

Okay. I just need

a little touch up now, Angie.

Touch up?

No. No, baby,

you got to pull them roots

all the way up

like a turnip...

Turn it over, ball it

and then put it back

in your head.

Jackie, I mean, no shade,

but, God,

you should be ashamed

to walk out

the house like this.

Girl, how you gonna say,

"No shade,"

and then shade

the sh*t out that lady.

Thank you.

Y'all know the boy

that got shot didn't make it.

My God. That's terrible.

No.

Pronounced him dead

this morning.

My husband said that

this whole thing started

because of some fight

that happened over there

at the high school.

Y'all know

what happened last time

one of their leaders

got killed.

It was a bloodbath.

Well, the police chief's

planning on

doubling the amount of cops

on the streets this weekend.

Man, I'm so tired

of this mess!

Every time I turn around,

somebody is killing somebody

over nothing.

And what are we

supposed to do?

Lock our doors, don't snitch.

Pretend like

this sh*t is normal?

This is bullshit,

this is not normal.

Then we gotta do

something about it.

Shorties out here wiling

and that's our fault.

That's on us.

Look, if we get people

to come to the shop,

I don't care what neighborhood

they from. They from Chatham,

from Englewood, East Side,

crazy, wherever they from,

we just need people

from the city

to come meet up in the shop,

and we just talk.

And give them

a chance to speak.

They're gonna

come up with ideas.

I think that's a great idea,

Rashad.

Really great idea, baby.

Well, I say we do it.

Y'all know

we have to do it.

I mean,

the gangs have us scared.

They're killing everybody.

We don't wanna

walk outside anymore.

Them people downtown,
