- I'll try calling him.

- Please.

"If we ever get free from

the oppressions and wrongs heaped upon us,

we must pay for the removal.

We must do this by labor, by suffering,

by sacrifice and if needs be,

by our lives and the lives of others.

- He coming or not?

- He dropped.

No, man, he'll be here, all right?

Call him again.

- Hey.

- Hey, girl.

- I got some apple pies for y'all.

- Let me get that.

What's up? Where's Zurich at?

- You ain't got no burgers to flip, man?

- You ain't got nowhere to be?

Yo, yo, yo.

You got a boyfriend?

- What's that got to do with you?

- You know.

We'll be done tomorrow.

- Bye, boys. Have a good night.

- Hey. Thank you for the pies.

You're welcome.

- We gotta go now.

- No, hold on. Just a bit more, all right?

- Yo, dude, what the f***, man?

- Glad y'all could make it.

- Come on, bro.

- My fault, my fault.

What's up, boy?

Z, can you just get in the car?

Okay, hold on.

Can y'all come here, real quick?

- Come here.

- What, man?

I just... come here.

I just want us to take a moment

to remember where you're from.

Can we do that?

You know I'm from here. Let's go.

We are not from here.

We are not from here.

Detroit, New Orleans, D.C.

Where you from again, square?

- Indianapolis?

We are not from here.

Nor are the brothers of this fraternity,

I ask you again,

do you know where we are from?

Huh?

We come from kings and queens, man.

Not slaves.

You, you, you, you. Kings.

After we cross them burning sands,

we will act as such.

We are gonna treat each other

with respect,

our pledge brothers before us

and our pledge brothers to come.

With respect, honor, dignity.

All of that, man,

because we earned this sh*t.

I love y'all, man.

Can I get an amen, brothers?

Amen!

- Yeah.

- Amen.

- Right.

- Sh*t.

One who's willing to aid you,

one whose advice has always paid you,

one who debates you

when others have played you,

that's what I call a brother.

One who's been there

when life seems rotten,

one whose ideals are not forgotten,

one who gains a lot more than he's gotten,

that's what I call a brother.

That's what I call a brother.

One who's willing to aid you,

one whose advice has always paid you...

Yo, get off at that exit right there, man.
