Well, we gotta figure something

out, 'cause I'm pregnant.

What?

I mean, we havin' a baby.

Another one. Yeah.

That means bigger place,

more room.

We're a team. We'll do it.

A kiss?

This what I'm gonna have to deal with

in seven months? We can't reach?

It's gonna be worse.

I love you.

What's good?

'Sup, man? Chilling.

Talk to me. What's up?

I'm ready to make some money.

Okay.

This ain't no easy game, though.

You know that, right?

Yeah, I know.

How much do you know?

I'm not, like, an expert on

everything, but I can learn.

But if someone wants to run a

kilo, how much would they make?

Off a kilo alone,

running that...

He'll see more than

three, five stacks.

After you drop off,

package is complete...

Two minutes, you make one call.

"Cookies are finished."

Everything is in code.

You never say,

"The package is delivered."

'Cause then you just

signed yourself over.

And if you in this, you in this.

Ain't no room for error.

There's no room for slipup.

First little small mistake...

will get you a large sentence.

Once that's done... You make

everything seem so freaking...

Everything sounds like

a death threat, bro.

Well, what path you think we on?

I'm trying to... I'm trying to

earn some extra cash, man.

Bro, if you want to earn extra

cash, get a job at Mickey D's.

Come on, man. You know what kind

of extra cash I'm talking about.

All right. Well, this is

what I'm talking about.

We talking about the same thing.

You said you want to man up. Ain't

no room for boys over here.

I'm listening. All right.

So then listen.

And like I said...

You go for your pickup.

You got cash on you.

After you grip your package,

one route.

There's no stops,

there's no in-betweens.

Ain't no go see your girl

or go see your mans.

One route to the drop-off.

A'ight.

Nah. It ain't "a'ight."

It's one route.

I'm not saying I'm, like...

Come with me.

That's my son Sincere.

Come. Come. Quick.

Come here. Putt-Putt.

Come here.

They're not...

They're not sharing.

They're not sharing? Yes.

Okay. What is that, a boo-boo?

Let me see.

Okay, listen. I

need you to do me a favor.

Look at me. Look at me.

I need you to do me a favor.

Daddy's doing business

right now.

Can you stay outside for a

little bit for me, please?

Yes. And I'll come get you?

Yes. It's a deal?

Yes. Can I have a hug?

Don't gimme that cheap stuff.

Give me the real stuff.

Go ahead, fat butt.

And I'll be outside

in a minute, all right?

Okay? Yeah.

I ain't trying to be

in this forever, man.

I got my family

to really provide for.

They depend on me.

But bottom line, everything

I do is for my family.

And there are certain changes in

place right now for my family.

Take it down to brown tacks,

it's like...

I don't touch a package.

I got kids.

Four of 'em.

It ain't for me,

you know? Like...

Especially when I think about

Sincere, you know, like...

The doctors diagnosed him

as being "autistic."

I think my son is perfect.

He's just different from

all other kids out there.

Because he chooses not to maintain

eye contact with a stranger...

My son is perfect.

Come on, Zoe. Get down.

Come on.

So I'm gonna let you try,

but don't f*** up.

Do a run and see what happens.

I got this, man.

Ain't no sympathy in this sh*t.

It's real.

She looks like the quiet one.

Tequila maybe.

Enjoy yourself, baby.

Take it. Have a sample.

You always got some new sh*t.

That's called Barack Obama.

And this is Michelle Obama.

Together, I call it Health Care.

All right. See me

at the end of the night.

Swing back.

You keep the sample.

Both of you? Yeah. That's me.

Keith Miller

Keith Ross Miller, (28 November 1919 – 11 October 2004) was an Australian test cricketer and a Royal Australian Air Force pilot during World War II. Miller is widely regarded as Australia's greatest ever all-rounder. Because of his ability, irreverent manner and good looks he was a crowd favourite. English journalist Ian Wooldridge called Miller "the golden boy" of cricket, leading to his being nicknamed "Nugget". He "was more than a cricketer ... he embodied the idea that there was more to life than cricket".A member of the record-breaking Invincibles, at the time of his retirement from Test cricket in 1956, Miller had the best statistics of any all-rounder in cricket history. He often batted high in the order, sometimes as high as number three. He was a powerful striker of the ball, and one straight six that he hit at the Sydney Cricket Ground was still rising when it hit the upper deck of the grandstand. Miller was famous for varying his bowling to bemuse batsmen: he made sparing use of slower deliveries and would often adjust his run-up, surprisingly bowling his fastest deliveries from a short run. He was also a fine fielder and an especially acrobatic catcher in the slips.Away from cricket, Miller was also a successful Australian rules footballer. He played for St Kilda and was selected to represent the Victorian state team. He played 50 games for St Kilda, for whom he kicked eight goals in one game against North Melbourne, during 1941.Miller's personality – love of the contest, rather than victory, and his larger-than-life rebelliousness and carousing – helped both shape and limit his cricketing career, as he espoused the opposite of the more puritanical values of Donald Bradman, his captain and later national selector. Neville Cardus referred to Miller as "the Australian in excelsis"; Daily Mail sportswriter Ian Wooldridge's response was "By God he was right". This status was reflected when Miller was made one of the ten inaugural members of the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame. more…
