Can you come up with that 1-8

straight maana?

Yeah. I'll have the money.

You need to take this girl

off the fire, man.

She's done.

Why you gonna dis

my Nubian queen like that?

Maana.

You got a right

to remain silent, Eddie.

You got a right to an attorney.

As you might have expected...

lt didn't take Eddie long

to get himself in a jam.

After holding out

for two or three seconds...

he started offering the cops

anybody he could think of.

The first person

he could think of was me.

lt turned out to be

just the break I needed.

Three times four?

Seven.

No, no. You're adding again.

Three plus four--

Honey, she's already done this.

Honey, she will get it.

Three times four?

Twelve.

right! That's right.

See? We worked on this already.

Excellent.

Uh, three times five?

Honey, can you get that?

Eight.

Daddy, why can't I just use

a calculator?

Honey, you can't learn

with a calculator, OK?

What are you doing here?

We got a problem, David.

Call me on the phone.

l don't like--

Your friend Eddie

just got busted.

He's bending over

for the cops...

trying to save his ass.

And he'll lose

that skinny little thing.

did he name us?

Not yet,

but he will if he has to...

and eventually he'll have to.

Daddy, help me with my homework!

l don't think

he'd talk about us.

lf we whack him,

he definitely won't.

Don't worry, David.

I'll take care of him.

Daddy!

Just a second.

Felix, if there's a problem,

we'll kill him.

I'll kill him myself.

Nancy, get out of here!

For you. it's Eddie.

I'm Felix Barbosa.

Thank you, sweetie.

Thank you very much.

You've got a beautiful wife,

David.

No wonder he doesn't

invite us over, eh?

Don't--

lf you come to my house...

please show a little respect.

He can't help it, David.

lt's his nature.

Uh, I know how to handle this.

He'll get you busted.

No, he won't.

Eddie, my man.

All right.

So, you wanted to meet me?

l like to know

the important customers.

We've met. Now what?

You're taking a lot away

for a guy we hardly know.

Where are you moving this stuff?

Mr. Hull, hey, how you doin'?

All right. How you doin'?

Hey, James.

Say hi to Mr. Hull.

l was to the welfare today...

and I got on

the wrong f***ing bus, and...

by the time I got there...

they changed the time on me,

and sh*t...

without notification, right?

They're supposed

to give me notification.

So I'm off the welfare.

Hey. How you doin'?

You all right?

What did you eat today?

You had ding dongs.

Yeah, he had ding dongs.

You go across the street

to the Mexican place.

-Get some anyway.

-Don't talk back to Mr. Hull.

-Yes, sir.

He's a good boy.

-Go on.

-Yes, sir.

You be careful

crossing that street, James.

You know, Belinda, uh...

lt ain't none of my business,

but you got a really nice kid.

You ought to take

better care of him.

Don't f***ing tell me how to

My kid is clean!

Look, I'm clean, too, right?

l've been tested.

I'm HIV-negative.

Just so you know.

I'm just laying that

out there, but, um...

lt's very hard raising a kid,

Mr. Hull...

so you know that.

lt's not an easy f***ing thing,

all right?

You dig what I'm saying?

l know you like my kid, right?

l could tell you likes him,

right?

So, listen...

l thought of something.

Maybe you like this.

He needs a male role model,

right?

Maybe you would like

to take care of him.

You could have him

for three thousand dollars.

All right, all r--

Two thousand dollars.

But that's it, man.

Two thousand dollars.

What the f*** is that?

That's too much for my only son?

l know

Wait a f***ing minute!

All right.

Hey, I ain't on your sh*t.

Go for your phone call, man.

Where you at, Eddie?

Yeah, I'll be there in a few.

Yeah, all right.

So what do you say, man?

Yo, Mr. Hull!

Oh, sh*t. Yeah, man.

Well, I'm a Christian.

When a Christian

At the arrest tonight...
