days, and you'll have your money.

Two more days.

You sent your little army, squad down

here, whatever you wanna call 'em.

Know what I'm saying? I sent 'em back

empty-handed, as you can see. Look at it.

It's a little rough

down here, man.

I mean, it's hard right now, man.

That's not my problem!

Getting the package to you,

that's my problem.

I get two days? Two extra days?

That's all I ask for, man.

Been running with you for two years, bro.

Know what I'm saying?

You got it.

Two days. That was rude of me.

Good looking, man. Look out.

Know what I'm saying?

It's just business.

That's cool.

Just business.

It was just business.

It's just f***ing business.

It's just business, right?

Here. Let me do that for you.

But you... You know that you...

Just being in the kitchen alone

is a privilege right now.

If you showed me how to do what you

do, we could be doing it together.

Ew. That's why your corn

be tasting so sweet.

What? Mind your business and

stay out of my damn kitchen.

Maybe I need to stand in the

kitchen with you more often.

You hear my secrets.

If I find out

anybody's cooking like me,

I'll know where

they got it from.

From you.

I'm not telling nobody

about that.

I don't put sugar in corn.

Time to eat, guys.

Come on. Let's go.

Come on, E'niyah. Eli?

Eli?

It's time to eat.

Come eat. Come eat.

I'm hungry.

- I found it.

- Go put it in the garbage.

Eat.

Growing up,

I used to always want

to be a prima ballerina.

I see myself being

somebody important...

and hopefully making a

difference in someone's life.

Making a

difference in whose life?

I don't know.

So what do you want to be?

You'll be, like, a teacher?

No! I mean, maybe. I don't know.

Maybe?

I don't know. I don't think

kids will like me that much.

Go on. Where do

you see yourself?

I don't know.

Sit down.

You ever been to the zoo before?

That's so random, but, no.

It's just a question.

I haven't.

Why not?

I don't know. Because... Not even,

like, a school trip or nothing?

Nothing. I mean, of course

I had chances, I guess.

I just never went.

Why? You were scared? No.

Tell me what's up. Why not?

Isn't it kind of, like,

a kid thing though?

Don't little kids

go to... Hell, no.

You ever seen a grizzly bear?

No.

Them shits is, like, seven

feet tall, 300 pounds.

Like crazy vicious, but at the same

time they're like little kittens.

Mad playful and just...

They're cool. You gotta see it.

I would like that.

So you saying I could take you?

Are you asking me? Kind of.

I think we could

work something out.

Right on time.

What's up, man?

What up, boy?

What's good, yo?

Chillin', man. What up?

What you been up to?

Macking, man.

Why you got this whole

block smelling like sh...

You crazy, man.

I'm-a holla at you, boy.

Where you at?

Girlfriend right here, you know.

Okay. Hubby life.

I feel ya, I feel ya.

Yo. What up?

What's good?

You got that? Yeah.

We good to go.

All right. I took care of it.

I got you, man.

What's good, yo?

You got the goons out here, yo.

Good luck, son.

I'm-a holla at ya.

How's the food?

It's good.

Even though I hate vegetables

or whatever this green stuff is.

So you saw Jasmin today?

How was that?

Yeah. Yeah?

What, Mom?

Did I teach you how to speak...

so you can answer my question

with one word?

She's nice, Ma. She's nice.

I'm not gonna be home

tomorrow night.

Where you going?

I-I gotta go out.

Out where? You got a date?

Crap.

And me find out.

I'm gonna go play bingo. Bingo!

In Titi's house?

It's Friday.

You told me to get out

of the house and do something,

so I'm going to play bingo

in Titi's house.

Tell Titi I say hi.

She was asking about you, so why

don't you go say hi yourself.

I don't wanna go over there.

She annoys me.

And she got those couches with the

freaking... with the plastic on it.

It be sticking to my skin.

I hate... I hate her house.

Are you giving me

that look, like...

You know exactly

what I'm talking about.

You know she put that plastic there

so you can protect the furniture.

Yeah.

She protecting the furniture

for the past, like, 40 years.

But she got it for 40 years

'cause she put that plastic...

She gonna protect it

for another 40 years, right?

Tell her to take that sh*t off.

Now you're getting too, like,

plastic in the furniture

and sh*t.

Come on, Ma.

So...

Do you know, um, about...

About what? Safe sex?

Come on, Ma.

Don't start talking

about this stuff.

So who is supposed to

talk to you about this stuff?

I know about this stuff.

What do you know about?

I took sex ed.

Okay. What did it teach you?

First of all, I learned

how to put a condom on.

You know?

Back in my days, you didn't

have to wear condoms, because...

Come on, Ma.

You'd be with just one person.

And you don't be running around

with Tom, Dick and Harry.

You just stay with one man, and you didn't

have to worry about condoms or no condoms.

There's nothing wrong

with more than one girl.

What?

I did not raise you

to be a player.

I raised you better than that.

Come on, Ma.

I told you about respecting...

I told you about

respecting a woman.

I do respect women.

If Jasmin comes here crying,

you're gonna get it.

Ma, she's not gonna come here crying.

If Jasmin comes over here...

complaining about you and telling

me that you broke her heart,

you're gonna deal with me, boy.

I love you, Mother.

Yeah, I love you too.

The A/C is on.

So why's it not working?

Call the landlord.

So, what, he can come get punched

in the face?

Why you gonna

punch him in his face?

Because he's f***ing annoying

with all this bullshit.

F***ing yesterday

he texted me...

"f you have a problem

with paying the rent..."

and you have a problem

with being there,

"I'll refund you

your security deposit."

Complaining... You ain't fixed the

f***ing closet doors for six months.

How long we waited

for the closet doors,

the bathroom,

the sink was f***ed up?

Six months.

Now you complaining

'cause of one month?

And you gonna tell me

I can get my deposit back?

Come bring my deposit

so I can kick your ass...

all up and down

the f***ing block,

then ship him back

to f***ing Nigeria.

You can't put hands on him.

Why not?

You put your hands on him

and risk him calling the police.

That's why you

do the job to the T.

You mean kill him?

You gonna kill him?

No. Don't have to kill him.

Just bust his head to a coma.

Put him in a permanent sleep.

That is funny, though,

because... Don't say that.

Don't say it.

Give me it!

Give it to him

and leave him alone.

What is he crying for? 'Cause he

went in there with the little stick.

Give it to him.

And y'all be nice.

I ain't got it.

E'niyah, give it back.

Give it to him. And be nice.

Don't start, 'cause I'll shut

down the whole park operation,

and everybody can

stay home and have naps.

No, I... I put

to Elijah, because...

It's supposed to be

duck, duck, duck, goose!
