Um... Two name. Um, three.

What three names? I

have to sound out three letters.

Who wants breakfast? Me!

Me!

You can make your own breakfast.

What do y'all want? Cereal?

Yes!

Let me see what this says.

"Mom, you love me because

you like 'mens'?" What?

What?

And this one says,

"Happy birthday, Dad. For

Dad, who I love. Boy."

Ew! That's him.

Thanks very much. She called

me a boy, right, E'niyah?

Shoot.

That looks like a... I did

not make nothing on this.

You didn't make nothing? You just

folded up the pink paper for me?

I'll go make another one.

Can you try and make me

a triangle, please?

I don't know how!

I gotta hang all the

pictures on the wall.

You gotta make me a triangle

so I can put it on the wall.

I don't know how.

Go ask Mommy to help you.

Or do you want me to help you?

I want you to help me.

So go get a crayon, and we're

gonna do it right here.

That guy came knocking

on my door. He said...

Hi, baby. How you doing?

Look at him.

Spend some time with your titi.

She came to see you.

Hi, Titi.

My God. You got

so handsome and big.

Where you going? I gotta, um...

You know where he's going? He's

coming with us for a caf con leche.

We're gonna have some caf.

You know I hate coffee, Ma.

Come on. You have to come with me.

Your aunt came to see you.

Let's go and spend a

little time with her,

have a caf con leche con pan.

You look like you lost weight.

I'm, like...

Now he's making Titi feel good.

Your titi came to see you.

And you don't give me

a kiss or a hug either, macho?

Come on, Ma. Ant's waiting.

My God. I don't know.

They get big too fast.

I didn't realize I was so heavy.

He told me I lost some weight.

Want you to make a

run, pick up a little package.

Holla back at me later on.

All right?

Take a walk. Talk it out.

We out of here.

Is he bothering you?

Just a bit. Just a little bit?

We're drinking

our drinks right now.

How do we stay in touch?

Yo, what's good, man?

What the f*** you doing out here?

What you doing?

Nothing. Just chilling.

Enjoying the night.

Who this? Who this?

Hi. Jasmin.

This my girl, Jasmin.

This your girl? Yeah, man.

You got a good one. Come here.

You all right? Yeah, I'm okay.

Tell her relax.

She around family.

She a little too nice for you.

Turn around for me, sweetie.

Taking care of John?

Of course. All the time.

Don't work him out too much.

I need him to, you know, be

energized in the morning.

Bye, brother. Why?

Why?

None of your business right now.

We'll see how long

you stick around.

Come on, man.

Watch your mouth, yo.

For her? Yeah, man.

F*** outta here. Go ahead.

Take her home, Johnny.

You some disrespectful-ass

nigga, man.

What happened? John.

What, man? Don't get too

big for your britches.

You're disrespectful, man.

Where does

your mom think you're at?

She thinks I'm here, just alone.

She probably knows that

someone's over here.

I don't want her to know that.

She started talking to me

about condoms earlier.

So what else did she say? Did

she mention anything about me?

Of course. She always mentions you.

What did she say? She said,

"When is the wedding day?"

My God. Shut up.

You know my mom.

And what did

you tell her? Did you tell her a date?

Look at you. Look at

you, moving hella fast.

I told her that I like you.

I told her you were cute too.

My phone is, like,

going crazy over here.

Why don't you put it on silent?

All these people... I wonder

who's texting me right now.

It's not me.

No, but, seriously,

don't try to fight

for something so hard.

You might get answers

you don't wanna know.

What if I do wanna know?

Sometimes things

are better left unsaid.

It was like when I was, like, seven.

We were just at the park.

And he would always run and I would always

chase him, but I could never catch him.

He was way too fast.

And he grabbed my right hand

with his right hand,

and he grabbed my left hand

with his left hand.

He just started running,

and I had to, like, try to keep up

with him because he had my hands.

And I could.

For like a brief second I was

running just as fast as him.

And, like, I knew I was flying.

I'm up!

Are you up or are you awake?

I'm up, Ma. I'm up.

F...

You better clean this room before

you leave the house! You hear me?

I got it, I got it, I got it, Ma.

I got it.

I mean it.

Yes.

I don't wanna work

in no supermarket.

Nene, you know, work is work.

As long as it's honest

work, it's work. This...

What's wrong

with the supermarket?

Can you just stop by

before you go to the park?

I'll stop by and see

what they're hiring for.

Because Don Jose's

waiting for you.

I already talked to him about it.

He's already waiting for you.

Look at you. He gonna come up to me and

gonna start asking me mad questions.

Well, he gonna ask you questions

to give you the job, John.

I don't even wanna work there.

You just walk in

and they gonna hire you?

But you setting me up for interviews

you haven't even talked to me about.

Cause if I talk to you

about it, you're gonna say no.

I'm just looking out. You're

always doing that, Ma.

I'm just looking out. I know

you always looking out for me.

So, what up, yo? You Primo boy?

Primo sent me. I'm not his boy, man.

My name is John.

So whose boy you be? Melvin.

You Melvin's boy?

Yeah, man.

Your old man was good people, man.

Definitely, definitely.

Well, come here, man.

Let me holla at you, man.

Yo, anything you need,

you come holla at me, all right?

I got you.

Melvin was good to me.

You heard? All right, man.

Good looks, man. I got a little

something for you though, man.

Yes, sir.

You know I respect that.

That's just good business.

Hold up, man.

All right, let me see it.

All right, I like that.

I like that.

Stay where you are. Stay

where you are. My man.

All right. Yes, sir. All right.

That's just good business, man.

I like that. Yeah, man.

All right. Three hundred

for two shifts.

Thanks, bro.

You should count that.

I just watched you count it.

I trust you.

Well, um...

Question:
Kinda need some more shifts.

You got anything going?

Thing is, I only need

bouncers two nights a week.

Friday and Saturday.

Well, I can kind of use

anything right now.

I got something.

My sister's ex is a nut job.

Nothing serious. But he just

gets out of hand sometimes.

I'll take it.

Hold on. I'll call you later.

All right.

What's up, Ma? Hi, baby.

What happened?

I was outside.

Come here.

Come on, Ma. Come here.

What's up?

What's up?

Stop looking at me like that, Ma.

Come on.

You think I don't know, John?

Know what?

Did you went to talk to Don Jose

about the job in the supermarket?

Come on, Ma, don't start with this.

Please don't.

What were you doing in the park?

Nothing. I was just playing

ball with Ant. Come on.

That's what your father

used to say to me, John.

But I didn't

pay attention to him,

'cause we were little kids
