No, she's not,

but she'll be back in a...

in a while.

So you gonna stand out there,

or you comin' in?

I'm gonna come on in.

Girl, check you out.

I thought you were goin' over

to the communists.

Ah. Nah. Not me.

Now, dig, if you were smart,

that's what you would've done.

What?

Man, you don't know what the hell

you talkin' about, girl.

No, it's cool. I mean it's not your

fault you been brainwashed by America.

I mean, at least you made it back

alive, right?

You know, "Hello, how you doin'?"

That would've been real nice...

before you got off

onto all this political sh*t.

Welcome home.

And welcome to the revolution.

- So, this is Sarah's?

- Mm-hmm.

Oh, wow.

- So, is she a smart baby?

- Ahh.

Why don't you find out for yourself?

Hey, y'all. Sorry I'm late.

Traffic on the Cross Bronx was a mess.

Oh. All righty.

There we go.

There you go.

Go play with your blocks.

Go play with your blocks.

Hey.

Oh, no. Look, Juanita.

I'm in one piece.

Hey, I got somebody

I want you to meet.

Come here, Sarah.

Come to Mommy.

Good girl. Come here.

Look at that.

- That's Daddy. Say hi.

- Hi.

This is Sarah Marie Curtis.

- Hi.

- Hello.

Hold her, silly. She's yours.

Oh.

Hey. Mmm.

Hey, um...

Oh, yeah. Be advised.

What's goin' on, my brothers?

- This is it, huh?

- Yeah. This is home.

Dig it. Dig it.

Check out Sleepin' Beauty

back there.

Boy, I still can't get over

how gorgeous she is.

Oh, she got that from her mama.

Oh. Okay.

You know, Juanita...

I wanna let you know l...

I did miss you. A lot.

Don't you think I know that, Anthony?

It's not important anyway. The important

thing is that you're here now.

Shh. Come here.

Oh.

Hey, baby girl.

Hey, Cutty.

Came by to see you a little earlier,

but you weren't home.

Oh, you know I had class tonight

after work...

and then I stopped over by my mother's.

- Oh, yeah. I forgot. It's Saturday.

- Yeah.

I see my little girl's sleepin'

back there, huh?

Yeah. She's all played out.

- Cutty, I wanted you to meet, um...

- Look here.

- Got a little somethin' for Sarah.

- Smiling faces

- Buy her something real nice.

- Smiling faces sometimes

Hey, Cutty, I told you

to stop spoilin' her like this.

Smiling faces

Smiling faces tell lies

- Somebody's gotta do it.

- And I got proof

- Beware

- Cutty, I want you to meet Anthony.

Okay. All right.

Let me just put her to bed. You come on

in and make yourself at home.

Come on in.

Okay. Can I get you something

to drink, or...

Look, Juanita.

Uh, I think I better go.

But you just got here.

Who knows, you could be

expectin' company or something.

Nobody's comin' here, Anthony.

I think I still should go.

Anthony.

I used to see Cutty.

Is that what you wanna hear?

Oh. Blood made that very clear to me.

So then, what's the problem?

Problem?

Why, man throwed two yards on your car.

You askin' me what's the problem?

Sh*t. Obviously nothin'.

Don't come up in here judgin' me.

What the f***, man?

You got a pimp around my daughter?

Oh, he is not a pimp.

And besides, if you cared anything

about havin' a daughter...

you'd have wrote me back

after I sent you our picture.

But don't jump on me

for havin' a life.

You didn't want one with me.

So now what?

Are you gonna leave?

Some bullshit.

Come here.

Come on. Come here.

Sh*t.

Gonna have the aeroplane corn bread.

Here we go.

Ooh!

- You gonna spoil that girl.

- Mm-hmm.

Gonna spoil that one in your belly too.

I don't need no spoiled kids.

Hey, why not?

Not enough black babies are spoiled.

Ain't that right, Sarah, hmm?

You got a point there.

Come on. Sit on down.

Big girl. Come here.

Come here.

Look at you.

Fat girl.

See what we got ourselves here.

Oh, you know what? I think we're gonna

have ourselves a little boy.

Yeah, come on, man.

You got to be a boy.

Boy, boy, boy. Mm.

Ant Junior.

See, it's the power of the mind.

We will ourselves a little boy.

Then can you will yourself

a better job?

Can you will yourself to stop

drinkin' so much?

Come on, honey.

Don't even start that sh*t, all right?

I thought we supposed to be havin'

a nice time here.

Look, Juanita.

l-I'm gonna get myself

a... a good job.

You know how long you been singin'

that same old song now, Anthony?

I mean, in case you haven't noticed,

this here's the real world.

Ain't no free meals here

like in the marines.

Say, let me tell you somethin'.

Wasn't nothin' free in the marines.

I earned every meal

and every f***in' dollar, all right?

Look, everything's gonna be cool.

You know I'll be

five months next week.

You're five months pregnant,

you can't be no nurse's aide.

I said we'll be all right.

Hey, um... Anybody want some speed?

Get the f*** outta here

with that sh*t.

Say, why don't you

cut the bullshit, Joe?

Can't you clear your mind

for one sec, man?

Now, you sure that they

pick up cash money?
