Hey, I'm not out that way though.

I'm gonna be in the town all day.

It's cool, I can come to you, bruh.

Gmme about an hour.

All right, turn around.

Bend over, squat.

All right, you're good.

- Hey baby.

- Hey Mama.

Happy birthday.

What happened to your face?

You look nice today.

My girls came to see you last night?

- We played board games.

- I bet y'all let her win, too.

- Of course.

- Y'all hella weak for that.

She'll get no easy wins around me.

- Mm.

- What?

Remember that microwave popcorn

you bought a while back?

- Hella good.

- Yeah.

While I was putting it in the bowl,

Tatiana just standing there,

staring up at me,

looking like she wanted

something.

OK, then what? Come on, Ma.

She says, "Grandma,

do we have any dark butter?"

Dark... What's dark butter?

I'm thinking maybe she watched

Food Network or something.

I said, "Sweetheart,

what's dark butter?"

And she said, "Well, when my daddy

took me to see Wall-E,

he asked for light butter.

So now I want to try some

dark butter this time."

- She too smart...

- This Moms right here?

- She a snitch, too?

- What the f*** you say about my moms?

- F*** you and this b*tch.

- Talking tough with these guards.

I'm gonna see your b*tch-ass

on the outside.

- B*tch-ass Palma Ceia n*gger.

- B*tch-ass motherf***er.

- Oscar...

- F*** DGF!

- Is there a problem in here?

- Oh, f*** you!

- Is there a problem here?

- No, we good.

Yeah, we good for now.

Yeah.

Yeah, f***ed up...

Calm down.

Oscar.

What happened to your face?

Dark butter...

She always listenin'.

Too damn smart for her own good.

Pre-school said, we should think about

starting her in school early...

Phina tell you that?

Yeah, we'll put her in private school.

Uniforms.

I was looking at Saint B the other day,

and they got this new thing where

they start 'em off speaking Spanish,

- then they put them back on English...

- I'm not coming here anymore.

What?

I'm not coming here

for these visits anymore.

- This is my last time.

- I know, I know...

I know, this is

the last time for me, too.

I told you that.

I ain't going down no more.

You wanna keep putting Sophina through

this, then you go right ahead, OK?

But Tatiana? That baby

doesn't deserve this, Oscar.

She's too young to know what's going on.

So I guess that's why

she asked me why you love

taking your vacations more

than you like being with her.

- She ain't say that.

- Oh, so I'm a liar now.

Ma, you got to tell her I love her.

- Tell her I...

- Tell her yourself.

The next time you call home,

you tell her yourself.

Or better yet,

let her come visit you here.

Yeah, but I...

She don't need to be exposed...

You already exposed her...

- You already exposed her to this.

- So what, you gonna leave me?

You gonna leave me again?

What kind of mom is you?

You gonna f*** around

and leave me in here?

You ain't never had

my f***in' back anyway.

I'm in here by myself.

- I love you, Oscar.

- You don't love nothin'.

I do.

And I'm praying for you.

I'll see you when you get home.

Hey Ma, hold up. Let me get a hug, Ma?

Grant,back to the visiting area.

Hey Ma, I'm sorry!

Get the f*** out of here!

Ma, I'm sorry! At least get a hug!

Ma, let me just get a hug!

Hey Ma, I'm sorry!

Get the f*** off me!

Get the f*** off me!

Hey Ma, I'm sorry!

Ma, I'm sorry!

Get the f*** off me!

Get the f*** off me, bruh!

Hey, Ma...!

Sh*t, bruh. I didn't think

we was ever going to hook up.

- What's good?

- I'm smooth.

I got good news

and bad news, though, my nig.

Don't tell me you ain't got it.

- Sold it to a white boy.

- For real? For how much?

Gave me a rack for it.

I wasn't gonna pay that high.

I still need it, though. What's good?

For the drive up?

Right on, Osc.

No, you're good, bruh.

- You sure?

- Take it.

Right on.

Burn one with your boy

right quick, though.

Nah, it's all you, bruh.

Right on, Osc.

All right, bruh. Be smooth.

Yeah.

Can you take me to my grandma's house

real quick to get changed?

Yeah.

What kind of cake you get?

Carrot cake.

Why you ain't get ice cream?

'Cause it ain't your birthday.

You know, it'd be hella easier

if you had your stuff at my spot, right?

Why don't you just move in?

Maybe when you stop blowing trees

in the car before we pick up T.

Can you roll down the window, please?

Hey T! T! Come here.

- Daddy!

- Hey, what's up, nugget?

Hey, what's up, girl?

How you doin'?

- Good.

- Good?

We played freeze tag today.

Really? Did you win?

- They couldn't catch me.

- Think you fast, huh?

Think you're faster than Daddy?

Mm. Really?

What's that?

Hey!

Undefeated! Undefeated!

You still haven't beaten me yet.

You know that, right?

- Eh.

- Eh.

- What are you doing?

- What do you mean?

- You're going to break this car!

- It'll be all right.

- It's already falling apart.

- I can't lose. Undefeated.

Daddy's 100 and 0.

Big, big, big cheater.

You're a cheater.

I didn't cheat.

How do you know if I cheated or not?

You were sitting in the car.

T, Mommy's a hater.

- Grandma?

- Yes?

Can you watch T tonight?

We want to go to 'Frisco.

Ask your sister.

But Rose got hella kids to watch.

But what's the difference

between watching six kids

or watching seven kids?

- S.

- S.

Daddy, what's that on your shirt?

Daddy had an accident at work.

How is work, by the way?

Work is... work.

I'll be back.

What you think?

It's cool.

Put a shirt on the bed

for you, if you want.

Right on.

Are you all right?

Osc... What's up?

Hm?

F*** it. I lost my job.

For what?

Being late.

Last couple of days,

trying to get some money.

And they told you today?

On your day off?

Can I keep it real?

They told me two weeks ago.
