What the hell's wrong with you, fool?

- I knew it.

- Get that flashlight out of my face!

Hey, what the hell's wrong with you?

- I thought you said "go."

- I did not say "go"!

I remember the last thing we were

talking about was Linda from Parkview...

-...and you said she--

_..H°...!

I said, Linda is a ho!

Get the goddamn chain! Come on, man!

Let's go! Come on. Move it!

Pull the chain, fool!

Take the moneybag, let's do it!

Come on. We're about to get paid, baby!

Let's go.

Come to Daddy!

The future's behind us, baby!

That is our future behind us.

No!

- Calvin, what are you doing?

- Hey, baby.

Trying to get this studio together

so we can finally make money off this stuff.

That's what you said about

the T-shirt company and Herbalife vitamins.

Why you gotta bring that up?

That's in the past.

This is a whole new venture for us, baby.

Really?

Look, let me show you something.

- Can I show you something?

- Yes.

- Let me show you.

- You've got a picture.

- Yes.

- Okay.

See that?

That right there is Oprah's guesthouse.

That's just the guesthouse.

So, if Stedman act up,

this is where he gotta sleep.

Okay.

Why do you have this?

Because that's what I'm gonna buy

for my baby.

Both my babies.

As soon as I get somebody,

rent out the studio, make a platinum CD...

...and we get paid.

You don't like strangers

coming in and out of the shop.

You want to have them coming

in and out of the house?

It's 7:
00. You gonna be late for work.

You better come on.

I got some eggs for you.

You better come on and get 'em.

That damn shop.

Boy, they sure know how

to kill a man's dreams.

Come on, Stedman.

Calvin!

Come here.

What was that for?

Well, it has been a whole two years

since you took over the barbershop.

I mean, look at you.

You have hung in there.

Baby, you have no idea

how proud I am of you.

You know, your father would've been

proud of you, too. Come here.

- Okay, go.

-All right, I'm going.

Stay off your feet, okay?

My store! Look at my store!

It has been destroyed!

Get away from my shop! Get away!

No! No! No!

Get away from my store!

- Hey, yo, brother!

- Get out!

Brother!

Stay strong, brother!

Yeah, stay strong.

Get out of here! Go on!

Calvin!

It's always something on a Saturday,

isn't it?

What's up, Janelle?

You know Tanesha Jenkins' boy

got a drug problem.

- You think he did that?

- Damn, girl, you gossiping already?

First get your shop open.

Then start the rumors.

I know you are not talking to me

about how to run my shop.

I don't tell you how to run your business

over there. Anyway...

Hey, did you hear--

That's why your nose so big.

You too damn nosy.

Hey! Did you hear about Clarinda?

Her husband caught her in a prime

hoochie-koochie with another man!

- Hey, man.

- Calvin.

- How you doing?

- Fine. How you doing?

-L'm all right.

- Hey, what happened across the street?

You know this neighborhood.

It's getting worse every day.

- How's Jennifer?

- She getting big.

You know. Mean, too.

- So, got some good news for me?

- No.

Calvin, I need a cut like Ronnie's last week.

Little off the top, long in back,

slope to the left like Gumby.

Munster front, Wyclef right.

- Hook that up for me.

- You got any money, Lamar?

I'm gonna pay you back.

I got a job interview.

- When you get that job--

- Come on, Calvin, don't do me like that.

- Just a little edge on there.

- I don't cut hair for free. Out the door!

Calvin, your father

would have hooked me up.

Go get hooked up.

Come on, dog!

Don't do me like that, Calvin!

- See what I got to deal with every day?

- I know, but--

No. Get out of here. Go!

So, what did they say?

The bank's not gonna give you

another loan.

We've already given you

a small-business loan...

...and a grant that you used

on your other businesses.

Calvin, you know I want to help you.

But if you don't pay the property taxes,

the bank is gonna foreclose on the shop.

I'm sorry.

There's nobody you can talk to?

Calvin...

...it's not gonna happen.

All right. Hey, what can you do?

I appreciate you coming by. I really do.

Don't worry about it.

How did you do this for 40 years?

I gotta do my own thing.

Hey, how you doing, Mr. Wallace?

Yeah, this is Calvin.

You know, over at the shop?

I was wondering, was you still interested

in what we talked about the other day?

Yeah.

Okay.

I'll see you then.

All right. Thank you, Mr. Wallace. Okay.

- You got it?

- Yeah.

We gonna get paid.

I never knew money could be so heavy.

Hey, slow down.

- You all right?

- Yeah. Okay, I got it now.

- Hell, no, man.

- What?

- Hey, what's up, big guy?

- What's up, player?

Hey, this is my grandmama's

oxygen machine.

She can't breathe without it.

Let us through.

You see us carrying this thing.

Move out the way.

Come on, man. This thing heavy.

See, you do this all the time, man!

- Billy, come on.

- No, man, he do this all the time!

My mama's trying to come back,

and he is doing that.

It don't make no sense.

That's cool. Just take it down.

Kevin, come open this door!

Kevin!

What's wrong? Why didn't you

answer the door? You knew it was me!

I worked a double last night.

I just got home two hours ago.

Don't play with me, Kevin. Where is she?

- Let's not do this again.

- Where is she?

Wait. You ain't finished.

Why don't you look under the bed?

Go ahead.

I bet you I would hide a woman

under that bed.

If you gonna look...

I'm sorry.

Terri...

...do I look like I'm thinking

about somebody else?

I don't know.

You want to know how I really feel

aboutyou?

Just think about that Babyface song.

Which one?

You know,

there are a lot of Babyface songs.

- No.

-All of them, baby.

You know I do.

Come on. I got some time.

Come on, real quick.

- Yeah.

- Well, real quick.

- Come on.

- Okay.

- No.

- Let me take my jacket off.

- Come on.

- Oh, yeah.

Well, let me take my jacket off.

What are you doing?

No, I'm just helping you

get your jacket off, baby.

Who is she?
