Fruitvale Station Page #3

give you your job back?

What? What game you running now, Osc?

You ain't sh*t, you know that?

You lie to me, you lie

to your f***ing daughter...

I ain't had to tell your ass nothing.

Food on the table, the lights still on.

I could've kept getting it,

you wouldn't have known sh*t.

Oh, so you would've just kept faking?

And been out there bustin' knocks,

and doing whatever else,

or whoever else...

You say you want the truth, right?

You ain't even tryin' to hear me.

You ain't even trying to hear it.

You ain't even listening to me.

Not after you lie for two weeks,

get cornered, and don't have a choice.

That's some p*ssy-ass sh*t.

What'd you do today? Huh?

I bet you sold that f***ing zip.

I dumped that sh*t, Phina.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

I'm tired.

Thought I could start over fresh, but...

...sh*t ain't workin' out.

You threw a whole zip of weed out

and you don't got a job?

I could slap you right now.

What are you gonna do?

Something legal.

Maybe if I could just

not f*** up for 30 days.

That's how long Oprah said

it takes to form a habit, right?

Look at me.

Don't make me have to go

through this sh*t alone, again.

Get this off. Take it off.

A distinct difference

between "Nah" and "Haa."

Yeah.

Hey, you guys are just in time!

Happy birthday!

Oh, you guys got me a cake, too?

- Yup. Happy birthday.

- Thank you, baby.

Smells good in here.

Here you go.

Look at you...

Hey Grandma.

What's smelling so good?

Oh, Osc...

Baby, you know I only needed two.

You didn't have to spend so much money.

Mama, you don't gotta worry about that.

- Oh...

- OK.

- What's up?

- We're up to no good...

- How you guys doing?

- How you doin', Oscar?

What's going on, Oscar?

- Nothin', hangin' out.

- Yeah?

Get some food. I'm hungry.

Uh-oh, what you got?

Mom's card.

Tay wanted me to go pick her up one.

- There you go.

- Appreciate that.

She's gonna flip out over this one.

- Oh, come on, now.

- That's Chantay there.

We got stuff comin' in.

You want to put it in...

You can't dump it!

No, that's what she told me

when I was this size.

"You can't dump it!"

You know, T,

when your daddy was your size,

just your age, he used to do this

with me and grandma.

Yes, he did, but he didn't do

it nearly as well as you're doing it.

No, he did not. I had to re-crack

everything he cracked.

Sophina, you are in love, honey.

- I am.

- 'Cause he was not a great try.

Who you think gonna win the Super Bowl?

- The Steelers.

- Steelers?

- Yeah, the Steelers. Yeah.

- What?

A Raiders fan cheerin'

for the Steelers.

Yes, a Raiders fan

cheerin' for the Steelers.

Black uniforms,

black players, black coach.

Coach even has a black wife.

I'm going for the Steelers.

You insane!

I know I'm insane.

You know I'm insane?

- It's ready.

- All good!

You ain't goin' to serve us?

I didn't serve you

your whole life, Cephus.

OK, get us somethin' to eat!

Doin' my food dance.

Where my table tray, Wanda?

I got your table tray

at your house, Daryl.

Oh, Cephus, that was you?

That was Cephus,

you know that wasn't me...

I'm sorry, Daryl. I'm sorry.

Here you are, sweetheart. There you go.

You want a little more crab?

I'm good.

Oh, thanks. Thanks.

- None of that.

- All right, you all.

All right, everybody.

Oh, Heavenly Father,

we thank you for having

our family together tonight.

We are blessed that Grandma Bonnie

made her famous gumbo.

In your name, let's feast. Amen.

Amen.

- Happy birthday, Mama.

- Best birthday present.

Thanks for your help tonight.

Come on, Mama.

You ain't got to thank me.

I shouldn't even be letting you do this.

Oh, please. It's relaxing.

Yeah, if you say so.

I say so.

You guys got plans for the night?

Yeah, nothing major though.

Meet up with the fellas,

head out to the city.

You guys going out, out? Or...

I think we're just gonna be low-key.

Catch the fireworks, probably

roll around a little bit after that.

Roll around?

It's gonna be cool, though.

Chill. Plus, Phina's gotta get up

and go to work in the morning anyway.

You guys gonna be drinking?

Mama, they gonna be drinking.

I haven't had a drink since...

- I can't even remember.

- Mm.

Why don't you take the train out there.

That way you guys can drink and hang out

and not have to worry about anything.

Nah, I feel like getting

over there and getting back.

- Not waiting on no train.

- No traffic, either.

You know? You know it's gonna be crazy,

going and coming back.

Yeah, we might take it.

Don't make me follow

you guys to make sure.

Remember prom?

Trying to forget.

We gotta go. We're gonna go, OK?

Honey, thank you.

You good?

- Let me get my stuff.

- Did you say goodbye?

Come here.

- We're outta here.

- I love you.

- All right, now.

- Don't get up, don't get up.

All right, so you going out.

All right, have fun.

Happy New Year.

All right, all right.

- Love you.

- Love you, too.

- Happy birthday.

- Thank you, baby.

- Come here.

- Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Let's just call it a night.

I'm going out.

I don't know what you're doing,

but I want to go into 'Frisco.

We can just watch

the countdown from the house.

Mm-mm.

Let's go out. I wanna have fun.

Get drunk.

All right.

- We'll go to the city.

- Yeah?

Yeah.

- Happy New Year!

- Happy New Year!

Oh no! You guys are so strong!

Hi, happy New Year.

Come on, Osc.

I just got them ready for bed.

That tickles! All right, you win!

Guys, let your uncle up. Come on.

- Let your uncle up.

- You win, you win!

Go to bed. Come on.

Ready to go brush those teeth?

- No.

- No?

'Cause if you don't,

your teeth is going to rot

and your breath's going

to start smelling like gumbo.

- You want that?

- Yes.

- No, you don't.

- Yes.

'Cause then the Gumbo Monster

will get you!

Daddy! Stop!

Go on.

You had gumbo, too.

Get those chompers in the back.

Mm-hm.

Ahh!

Down low.

You almost got me.

- Ouchie!

- Come on.

My feet hurt.

We're getting ready to take off, OK?

You guys aren't going

to sleep over, too?

We already promised our friends

we was going to kick it

with them tonight.

But we'll be back before

you wake up though, OK?

No! Don't go.

I'm scared.

Scared of what?

I hear guns outside.

You know what, baby?

Those is firecrackers.

You're safe inside with your cousins.

What about you, Daddy?

Me?

Baby, I'm gonna be fine.

I'll tell you what, though.

When you wake up in the morning,

we're gonna play Candy Land.

And then guess what

we're gonna do after that.

- Go to the park?

- Better.

Toys"R"Us?

Way better than that.

Why?

I don't know, maybe... Chuck E. Cheese?

- Really?

- I promise.

Daddy's gonna give you hecka tokens

and we gonna play all the games, OK?

And then we're gonna get

your favorite pizza,

and we'll eat it all up.

Even Mommy's

'cause she can't have carbs.

What's a carb?

You ain't got to worry

about that right now.

I love you.

I love you, too, Daddy.

- Sonja... Nigga, I passed...
