First Time Felon Page #5

l don't let nobody

talk about my family, ever!

Shut up, inmate.

That's it. You're suspended.

Don't push me, man.

Do something. This ain't right, Captain!

That inmate attacked an officer.

He's going back to county!

Come on, everybody back to work!

All right, let's go!

Everybody, let's move it!

Ma'am, Sims was okay.

He was gonna make it.

Boot camp's about tearing down

and building up.

Calhoun don't build up nothing!

He don't do nothing but tear down!

Look at what we do,

helping people save their town!

Y'all wanna play boot camp?

This sh*t here bigger than boot camp!

-This sh*t is for real!

-What will you do about it?

You gonna pout?

Lay down and go back to prison?

l got no time for this sh*t.

You better think about this.

F*** this!

Listen up, everybody, listen up,

The main levee's not going to hold,

-Everybody in the truck nowI

-Guards, let's get the inmates on the bus!

On the double!

You're starting to piss me off.

You wanna go back to prison?

Come on.

Let's move it. Move it.

Give me a hand!

Faster!

Over here!

Hold it.

We got it, we got it.

Come on, man.

Everybody off, back to the truck!

lt's not gonna hold!

Let's go!

Let's go, guys.

lt's slipping! Hold on!

lt's not gonna hold!

Oh, sh*t.

Get down!

We can stop it!

lt's not gonna hold! Yance, come on!

l ain't coming down.

Yance, quit!

No!

You sure about this?

We're on the high ground so we can relax.

What's the matter with them?

They feel that they shouldn't eat your food.

Because they couldn't stop

your town from flooding.

You guys did the best job

that you could do.

There's no reason for you

to feel like you failed.

lf you weren't here

we would've lost everything.

We know we lost our homes, but....

You got out the furniture,

and the clothes and all the appliances...

...and we were able to do this

while you helped us.

Some people even got out

all of their livestock.

What you guys did for us, that was just...

...just amazing.

lt was just amazing.

So...

...would you please come and eat with us?

Come on. Please, you deserve it.

You know what else? You guys are heroes.

You are.

Come on and eat with us. Come on.

Yeah.

Yeah, thank you so much!

lnmate Buber.

lnmate Yance.

lnmate Yance...

...for a job well done. Congratulations.

The levees may break...

...and you may work hard in this life

for some things that won't come through.

But today, believe me,

you have all come through.

All 14 of you men

have been through 120 days...

...of hard work, discipline,

and commitment.

And you all deserve to graduate.

l just want you to know...

...that l am proud

of each and every one of you...

...and you should all

be proud of yourselves.

Life is tough. lt's hard.

Nobody knows that more than you do.

And when you leave here,

you may run into some setbacks.

But no matter what these setbacks are,

no matter how difficult it is...

...l want you to never give up. Never!

Just like Niota.

Hoo-rah!

Hoo-rah!

Hoo-rah!

Hoo-rah!

Let's go, let's go!

l wanted to congratulate you.

And...

...good luck.

Thank you, sir.

l've seen a lot of guys

graduate this program.

A month later they're back in the pen.

But what about you, son?

You gonna be one of those guys?

Or are you gonna surprise me?

Boss Dog! What's up?

l heard you was back!

-What's up, baby?

-Oh, yeah. Ta-dow, what's up?

Gimme some love. Good to see you, man.

Oh, sh*t.

You's a muscled-up n*gger now, huh?

Man, they work your ass

in that there boot camp.

-Goddamn, Pookie, you're dipped in gold.

-Hey, man, business is slamming.

Shout out to my n*ggers, man.

-Ta-dow.

-l got my own corner. Kingpin ain't sh*t.

l'm moving up, motherf***er.

Come on, man, let's walk.

No, dog. Can't go nowhere with this here.

Damn.

-Can't go 100 feet with that.

-Yo, man, bust that sh*t!

-By the time they fix it, it'd be next month.

-No, dog, l'm gonna play it straight.

-How long you in house arrest?

-Four months.

Sh*t. Damn.

Hey, Pook. How the hell you get out?

Sh*t.

Boss, Cook County's bad, man.

But Stateville....

Goddamn.

l seen some sh*t.

l wanted to get the f*** out.

There was a major deal going down.

l heard some n*ggers talking sh*t.

So l took what they said

and dealt myself out.

l been out three months.

Goddamn!

Greg, what's up?

Hey, Pookie, how you doing?

All right. How you doing, man?

What's up with you, man?

You're different.

-What'd they do, bust your ass all day?

-No, dog.

-lt's just weird being back, that's all.

-Yeah.

Hey man, l didn't know

your little sister had a baby girl.

How you doing, Crystal?

What's up?

Hey, how you doing, Miss Yvonne?

Yeah. All that sh*t hits you at one time.

Remember my homeboy, Alex?

-He dead.

-Yeah?

Carl got shot. He dead.

He was in boot camp like you.

Went back to hustling.

What's that motherf***er with the

nappy-ass head and the Mexican girlfriend?

-You talking about Jamie, right?

-Yeah, he dead.

Tanisha dead.

But that was AlDS, though.

Hey man, did you f*** her?

Yeah, me neither.

Hey, whip out the cream.

-Welcome back, player.

-Good to be back, my man.

Boss Dog.

Ta-dow.

-Be safe, man.

-Yeah, man.

Stay up.

''With warmest thanks from your Niota

family. You'll never be forgotten.

''Signed, Sharon.''

She was the cook.

They sent pictures.

See, there's the church we used to eat in.

Oh, every day was like Thanksgiving, boy.

They had this catfish, used to fry it whole

without the head. lt was good.

Wasn't nothing as good

as your cooking though, Mama.

People was thanking us every day,

thanking us for this, thank you for that.

We had a cadence we used to sing.

Y'all wanna hear it?

Yeah.

Please?

-Could we please hear the song?

-Come on, let's hear it.

''They say in Niota,

the people's mighty fine.

''Feed us twice a day,

so now you're friends of mine.

''Oh, won't let you flood,

'cause there's lots of love.

''Ooh, ooh, ooh, hya!''

Y'all in jail wasn't singing about no love.

We was. lf you were there,

you'd have been singing, too.

l know they didn't have no fish like mine.

But it's nice they sent you that card.

My mama had an interview with her boss.

You were never in.

You didn't get back to me.

l couldn't get the anklet turned off...

-...they had to cancel the interview--

-Who's that? Give me the phone.

Yes, is this his parole officer?

Ma'am, why can't my son

ever get a hold of you?

And why can't he go to the library

and get some books?

He likes to read

and he wants to do some job research.

You don't want him to get into trouble?

He had discipline...

...and a lot of activity at boot camp.

He came back all gung ho.

Now you force him

to be idle for four months?

Don't you think

that's a little counterproductive--

Thank you.

There it is.

Ta-dow.

Hey yo, Boss Dog!

What's up, player? Yo, come here, man!

-So you out, huh?

-Yeah. Let's take this ride, player.

Yo, l just got this anklet off.

l only got two hours.

l'll drop you off.
