"Playin' with jumps,

makin' it from slums to sponsors

"How we wake up,

catch crime faces like they made up

"Start a rally to get paid up

"When they'll be branchin'

"Take time with families, start relaxin'

"Stayin' small, payin' taxes

"One life to live, one road to follow

"Screamin' our life tomorrow

"Filled with happiness,

cast out the sorrow"

Damn, life is just f***ing crazy, man.

You could be living in heaven

and still living in hell.

I'd be thinking,

can you change who you are?

Do you love the Other,

more than you love yourself?.

Do you wish you were another way?

If you're black, can you bleach?

If you're white, can you dye?

Can you be ghetto

without living in the ghetto?

Do you look in the mirror and see your

face or do you close your eyes and dream?

What do you want?

Can you look within

and embrace your soul or not?

Can you change who you are?

You can look at me as long as you want...

...but I'll always be me

and you'll always be you.

I've got one for Kim.

She said something earlier about:

"I don't wanna eat dick tonight,

just eat my p*ssy right."

-Dirty mouth.

-Is that--

-You know that's Little Kim. It's a quote.

-She's a rapper.

But that's also Big Kim right here.

If you're making that assumption,

is it that you want to have...

...a girl eating your p*ssy

or you don't want dick that night?

I'm just saying that guys for so long

have been taking what they want...

...getting their come on.

It's time girls f***ing get their come on.

What about you guys?

Your husband's obviously gay.

What's that about?

Love. That's what it's about.

My husband is a very sensitive

and complex person...

...and we're crazy about each other.

Right, darling?

Absolutely, my angel.

I have a question for everyone.

Origin of the word "f***." Who knows it?

What's the origin of the word "f***?"

Tell them the origin of the word.

17th century, Charles l:

"Fornication under consent of the king."

Tell me what they can offer you.

What do they offer you?

Why do you wanna be involved in it?

-It's like safety.

-Safety from what?

Safety from anyone

who wants to f*** with us.

Hi. I'm Mark Clear.

How are you doing, Mark?

-You're Dean.

-That's me.

-You're the point guard on the Rider team.

-Yeah, man. Good luck.

Good luck with what?

What does that mean?

That's my way of saying see you later.

Really? That's too bad 'cause...

...l had something

I wanted to talk to you about.

What's that?

I was just wondering if you wanted

to make $50,000. $10,000 up front.

-Are you a quiz show host or something?

-No. I'm your future.

I think you got the wrong guy.

So some rinky-dink basketball game

that nobody gives a sh*t...

...what the score is tomorrow is more

important to you...

...than making $50,000 in cash?

-I'm starting to think you're serious.

-I'm totally serious.

I don't know about this.

This is criminal stuff.

In what way, though?

It's a crime against...

...the federal government.

It's not a crime against some old woman.

You're not hurting anybody.

Only the Federal Government.

Do you care about them? I don't.

What have they done for you?

They haven't done much for me.

-You haven't been drafted yet, have you?

-No.

What happens after you graduate?

I got more interesting things

going on than throwing a game.

If you don't want it, don't take it.

-What if I turned you in right now?

-Turned me in?

I don't think you'd turn me in.

Would this be the worst thing

you ever did in your life?

What? A few bad passes,

a few missed lay-ups.

Who the hell would ever know?

-What's in it for you?

-Don't worry about me.

I'll bet what I want on the game.

I'm gonna make more money than you will.

Think about it.

Tomorrow if you're around at noon,

Time Caf downtown?

Okay.

900 words? No way.

I need at least 1,800.

This is a major article I'm writing.

Look who's sitting there.

District Attorney King.

You boys were playing football.

What's the verdict?

He's got good hands.

Runs in the family.

Billy, an odd-looking guy

keeps staring at you.

-Looks like he knows you.

-Maybe he does.

I should make my way over

and introduce myself to our illustrious D.A.

George Wayne, Vanity Fair, writer.

I read your column every month.

You're wonderful.

You're the much loved, much praised...

-...District Attorney of Manhattan.

-I don't know if I'm praised and loved.

And you are Sheila King,

formerly Sheila Blair.

Assistant D.A. in charge of sex crimes.

Very good.

I've interrupted your lunch because

I'm having a meeting with my editor...

...and we're thinking about doing a story:

"Ten Who Run New York."

And you're on the short-list with the likes

of Donald Trump and the Mayor.

What do you think of that notion?

Maybe you should interview

some of his past wives, too.

-Wives?

-He's got two others besides this woman.

You should meet my brother Will.

He's got a nice resume, too.

Is Will studying to be a lawyer?

He's on his way to law,

but in a different sense.

-My son has a vivid imagination.

-I've got a good imagination, George.

-Call my office tomorrow.

-Sounds like a great idea.

-We can lock it up.

-I like that notion. "Lock it up."

-Nice to meet you.

-Thanks for the intrusion.

What's wrong with you?

-The guy's a journalist.

-This is a great opportunity for your father.

What do you care?

What's it have to do with you?

-It's his f***ing career.

-Watch your mouth.

Are you serious? Watch my mouth?

Since when do you say watch my mouth?

Since she's around?

Don't you ever disrespect my wife

or me in front of a stranger again.

I'll cut you off. Be with your brother.

Buy your fancy Avirex and Kangol hats.

-Go uptown and hang out with him.

-You're really scaring me, Pop.

Go. Why don't you leave right now?

Go home, pack your bags,

move out of our house.

What's that supposed to be, a punishment?

You bet it is.

Either play by my rules or get out.

Do you hear me? Support yourself.
