tripped out, man.
- F*** that sh*t, man!
- Let's go. I'll take my car.
Oh, f*** that. We should've
- Just pull up, just pull up.
- Get your sh*t ready, nigga.
Damn!
These niggas here?
All right, hold up.
Get ready, get ready.
Look out, nigga! What's up, punk?!
Possible 187 at corner of
Crenshaw and Century.
They shot my brother!
- Tre, you do your homework?
- What homework?
- Yeah, I did it.
- Can I copy it?
Hell, no. Too bad,
you should've done it.
- Did you hear the shooting last night?
- Yeah, I got under my bed.
Man, you a scaredy-cat.
My mama say, "A bullet
don't have no name on it. "
I ain't afraid. My brothers
been shot and they still alive.
They lucky.
Y'all want to see something?
What?
I ain't saying what.
Want to see it or not?
Is that blood?
What happened?
Somebody got smoked. Look at
the hole in the wall, stupid.
Least I can tell my times tables.
Look! Why is the blood
turning yellow?
That's what happens when it
separates from the plasma.
So that's how the settlers
survived that long hard winter...
...that took so many of their lives,
is by eating foods...
...that were given to them,
like the turkey and the squash...
...and all the foods that we think of
as our traditional holiday meal.
And that's why we celebrate
Thanksgiving...
...to commemorate the unity
between the Indians...
...excuse me...
...the Native Americans...
...and the early English settlers
who were called... Class?
Pilgrims.
That's right, the Pilgrims.
Very good.
The penguins!
Who said that?
- Mr. Styles.
- That's me.
How is it you always have
something funny to say?
Because I'm a comedian.
Would you like to come up
and teach the class?
Yeah, I can do that.
Very well, come on up. Instruct us.
- What's the basis of your lecture?
- What?
What are you going to talk about?
I'd tell you if you let me talk.
- What's the name of this place?
- That's Africa. I know that.
Right, that's Africa.
Did you know that Africa is where
the body of the first man was found?
My daddy says that's where
all people originated from.
That means everybody's really
from Africa. Everybody.
All y'all. Everybody.
I ain't from Africa.
I'm from Crenshaw Mafia!
Like it or not, you from Africa.
I ain't from Africa. You from Africa.
You African booty-scratcher!
Quiet.
Punk, I'll kick your ass.
That's enough.
Count to 10 and be quiet.
I'll get my brother to shoot you!
Get your brother, b*tch!
I'll get my daddy. Least I got one.
I ain't your b*tch.
Ain't nobody's b*tch, b*tch!
Are you listening to me?
Sit down, now! That's enough!
As I said, he's highly intelligent.
He has an enormous vocabulary.
It's just that...
Yes, go on.
It's just that he has
a very bad temper.
It's extremely difficult for him
to interact with the other children.
Perhaps I could recommend therapy
or a child psychologist.
No, thank you.
We can manage just fine.
Is there some problem in the home?
Are you employed?
That's none of your business, but...
...I am employed, and I'm studying
for my master's degree.
- Then you are educated.
- Are we gonna talk about me or my son?
I'm sorry.
Well, we'll be happy to see Tre
back in class on Tuesday.
His suspension was only
for three days, you know.
- No. You won't be seeing Tre again.
- And why is that, may I ask?
- Tre is going to live with his father.
- His father?
Yes, his father. Or did you think
we made babies by ourselves?
- You tell her go jump in the lake?
- What was our agreement?
What did we put down in writing?
"I, Tre Styles,
being of sound mind and body...
...agree not to get into any disputes,
physical or verbal...
...for the rest of the school year.
If I do not conform to this...
...I will go to live with my father,
Mr. Furious Styles. "
"Signed... "
Oh, now, who wrote this?
"Tre Styles. "
You have to work on your handwriting.
Bean pies. World-famous bean pies.
Like a bean pie, mister?
I just don't want to
see you end up dead.
Or in jail.
A drunk, standing in front
of one of these liquor stores.
Can you understand?
Look at me. I'm serious.
I love you.
You're my only son.
How you doing?
- I'm fine. How about yourself?
- I'm living. That's enough for me.
Well, here he is.
- What's the matter? You can't say hi?
- Hi, Daddy.
Go ahead, talk to your friends.
- What's up, Tre?
- What's up, Doughboy?
Well, there goes your son.
You wanted him, you got him.
Why you trying to make this so easy?
Well, it's like you told me:
I can't teach him how to be a man.
That's your job.
So it ain't no weekly thing
no more, huh?
You staying for good?
Chris, you know Tre, right?
Remember, we were playing ball?
Yeah. You the one collect
You living here now?
Thank you, Reva.
Furious.
- Take care of my baby.
- He is my baby too.
This fool got more comics
than a motherf***er.
- Tre, come here.
- Watch my stuff.
What up, Tre?
What's up, Rick?
Well, it looks like you got
all your friends over here.
When you coming to pick me up?
Listen...
...this is just a temporary thing.
When I graduate, I'll get a better
Maybe a house?
Then you can come back, and things
will be better. Okay?
Okay, Mom.
Okay. Can I have a kiss?
- Love you, love you.
- Me too. Bye, Mommy.
- Doughboy, staying out of trouble?
- I ain't got no troubles.
- You got some troubles?
- Lawn trouble.
- Why don't y'all rake these leaves up?
- How much?
I'll give you $5
for the whole lawn.
Five dollars. Man, that ain't sh*t.
- I can make more doing nothing.
- Oh, yeah? Doing what?
He work for his uncle.
That's too bad. I guess I just
have to get my son to do it for me.
Do what?
Want you to rake up these leaves
off the lawn.
Boy, don't look at me funny if I
ask you to do something. Take this.
There's two trash bags right there
on the ground. See y'all later.
Damn, your daddy mean.
He's worse than the bogeyman himself.
Gotta do all these leaves.
Who he think you is, Kunta Kinte?
- Later, Tre.

What you mean, a bogeyman?
There ain't no such thing.
- Yeah, there is.
- Lf there is...
...I'll bet you Hulk
could whip his ass.
Yeah, later.
Tre, I gotta lay down
the rules of the house.
Same thing as weekends,

All right, what are they?
Clean the bathroom sink,
floor and tub.
Yeah.
Clean my room and water the lawn.
Dad, can I ask you something?
What do you have to do around here?
I don't have to do nothing around here
except for pay the bills...

clothes on your back, you understand?
Glad I don't have to pay no bills.
