...like some English person.

You talk like this to your parents?

How do they feel about it?

They hate it,

but their parents hated what they did.

So, it is about rebelling

against your parents.

It's about doing what the f***

you wanna do.

Sam? Oh, my God!

Hi. How are you?

You've changed so much.

I have. I'm a filmmaker.

I'm doing a documentary.

Really?

What's your name?

Scott.

-Howdy, Scott.

-How you doing, pal?

What do you want?

-Nothing. Just watching.

-Watching what?

The approach to Staten lsland.

Are you married?

Yeah, I'm married.

I live on the Upper East Side....

-I don't mean to be strange or pushy or...

-Well, you are.

...come off like a cushion pusher to you.

I don't understand.

Why do you guys always gotta come up

and talk to me?

I'm not gay. Do I have a sign on me

that says "f*** me" or something?

-'Cause I don't like dick.

-Right.

I'm going to my girlfriend's house.

Girlfriend, girlfriend.

-What's his name?

-His name. Real funny.

I'm married, too.

Actually, that's my husband.

Back up. Every day I got

one of you freaks coming up...

...and trying to hit on me.

I don't understand. What's the deal?

Do I look gay?

Am I wearing a G-string and Daisy Dukes?

-It's more of just an energy.

-Let me know if you see it.

-'Cause I don't know what it is.

-I just saw you walk in.

-Is my walk feminine or something?

-Let me see. Give me a walk.

-Did you see it when I walked in?

-I wasn't paying attention.

What makes you think

I wanna go with you?

It's your energy.

-There's nothing to do about it?

-I don't know if it's internalised.

Do you go up to people randomly

and bother them?

-Yes.

-You're bothering me.

-I don't mean to.

-Can you leave me alone?

Certainly--

All right. Nice meeting you.

Let's leave it at that.

-Goodbye. Take care.

-Very well.

-I don't know about this sh*t.

-Just trust me on this sh*t.

-This is Brett Ratner right here.

-Rich, good to see you.

-Cigar, what up?

-Good to meet you.

I heard your record. I'm a big fan.

-It's incredible.

-I don't make records.

He sent me the demo.

I sent him the tape,

the demo of the Cream Team.

Why do you think I came out here?

I hope you came out here to do work.

That's what we want.

I'm here to sell records for you.

Every time I call this nigga,

he be having a joint, playing.

I'm doing Hollywood films,

you got a hit record.

I wanna do a video. Because

if I do it, it's gonna cross over.

I've never been to Staten lsland before.

But I know what you

and your music are about.

And I know what you're saying.

I respect what he do,

but we ain't the same type of people.

We're black, he's white.

The truth is, I'm white, I'm from Miami.

But I love your music.

I'm just here to make it look great.

That's my job.

He gonna Hollywoodise it for us.

I'm gonna give you the production values.

He gonna make it look like it's Hollywood

even though it ain't.

-We're gonna take it from the purest form.

-I know what your audience wants...

...and I know how to cross it over

at the same time.

All I want to say is,

if my man believes in you, I believe in you.

-What's going down?

-Sorry. Sam Doneger.

I'm doing a documentary.

Rolling up on a nigga

with a camera and all this sh*t.

This is a camera.

I'm just working with myself.

I'm doing a documentary

on this phenomenon I've witnessed...

...all over America.

Hi. Sam. What's your name?

Brett Ratner.

Brett. Rush Hour. Great.

You said you were going to the wall.

Is this the wall?

Okay, I want to interview you.

Holly sh*t! Brett f***ing Ratner!

Why didn't you tell me he was coming in?

I know you know this cat, man.

We're doing a video here.

Now I know I gotta watch my back.

I'm f***ing with analogue niggas.

You know these motherfuckers?

-I don't know them.

-They bought your record.

Don't leave me out.

What goes on? Oh, my God.

This the pesky lady

with the camera right here.

-Yeah, I'm doing a documentary.

-Miss Doneger.

-Sam's my name.

-What you be needs to know?

-I wanna know about the wall.

-All right, I'll tell you about the wall.

This wall is a monument

to two former soldiers that lived out here.

America is definitely eating its young.

It's time we did something about it...

...and took responsibility

for our ways and actions.

That's why you got,

"Can it be all so simple?"

It ain't that simple.

It's never that simple. That's why

after the laughter there's always tears.

You'd be surprised how many white kids

do know what time it is.

The same way we was taught

when we came here...

...on the slave ships, we teaching now.

So who are the slaves today?

We still the slaves.

-The average working man is a slave.

-We all sharecropping.

But the thing is,

this music is so influential and so real...

...there is not a wall built

that can hold it down.

Me and Charlie wanna come

hang out with you.

You all got too much

extra baggage around.

-If we lose our boyfriends, can we come?

-What did I just tell you?

-I'll say I'm not feeling well.

-I wanna go.

When we get off the ferry,

let's jump in a cab and ditch them.

Let's get something to eat

when we get back.

Let's get it when we get to Chinatown.

There's only one cab.

There's not enough for everybody.

We have to stick with these kids.

-You wanna meet up later?

-We gotta take two cabs.

-I'm just gonna chill out.

-Let's go over to my house.

Let's go.

-Charlie, wait!

-We'll talk tomorrow.

-I can't find my nose ring.

-Something's f***ed up. Let's follow them.

This is f***ing bullshit.

-What's wrong?

-Get in. Go.

Come on, I ain't got all day.

You're under arrest.

For what?

I want you to understand

that you're breaking the law.

If you're fine with that, then so am l.

Just tell me you understand

what you're doing.

I know what I'm doing.

You got the money or what?

I got the 10. Then you get the 15,

then the 25.

Where is it?

What you want from me?

-Rich.

-Rich?

Rich is not even in--

He's just the biggest gangster in Harlem.

Rich is into entertainment, rap.

He's not a street hustler.

Okay, then you go to jail.

What's this all about?

It's about you going to jail

unless you give me Rich. You're f***ed.

I'm a f***ing New York City detective.

You're under arrest. You're f***ed.

For $50,000.

You and Cigar arrange that meeting

at the gym for me?

You know I handled that.

2:
00, he wants to talk.

Everybody gonna be there.

-Who is it?

-Wren and Marty to see Charlie and Kim.

Oh, sh*t!

Yeah, let them in.

-What the f*** are they doing here?

-I don't know, but chill.

Charlie, come on, I want to talk to you.

No, not now. What do you want?

-I want to talk to you. Please.

-Tell me now. What?

-Can we talk?

-What do you want to talk about? Stop it!

-Calm down, man.

-Get off it.

Don't be starting with him.

It's my problem.

What do you mean,

don't be starting with him?

It's my f***ing problem.

I don't even want to talk to you about it.

Chill out with that bullshit.
