George Washington Page #2

It's just Denise and all them | puttin' words in their head.

She wouldn't be tryin' to talk to me, yo, | 'cause I wouldn't talk back to her.

That's why she's talkin' to George.

I don't care about the other girls. | I care about Nasia.

I think about her all the time.

What's that?

Oh, I dug this up in the ground yesterday.

Why you do that to it, man?

I don't know. I was bored.

Destructive kind, yo. Cheer up, man.

Hey, George. You know, | your Uncle D walked out on us today.

That man's crazy.

I swear, Rico's father thought | he was gonna have a conniption fit.

I thought he was gonna bust. | What do you call it? A crazy move?

Nothing shocks my dad, man. | That's why he's the boss...

...and that's why he just bought | a K-Car turbo, as in King Car Turbo.

That's right.

- That's a good-lookin' dog. | - He is a nice dog. Where'd you get him at?

I don't know. I just found it.

Yeah, I seen a dog like that on television. | Man, that's rare as crap.

Smells like crap.

Have you had that thing | checked out for a hysterectomy?

I think it's got halitosis or something.

You should give it cold lima beans | with a little bit of salt.

Anyways, are you gonna keep that puppy?

- No. My uncle won't let me keep a dog. | - "Oh, that's right. "

Old Damascus would probably cut | its head off or somethin'. He's a crazy...

...man.

I remember this one time we were over | at Barry's house. He was havin' a...

...cookout.

And Barry's cat started freakin' out, right?

Like he was high, | like he was physically insane, right?

And that cat starts pushin' over | people's drinks, you know...

...usin' the restroom everywhere, | and Damascus shows up, right?

And he pulls a whip out of his, | out of his shorts.

That cat runs to the left, | and he pops it to the left...

...then he runs to the right | and pops it to the right.

And then he pops that cat like right | on the bridge of its nose...

...and that cat rolled over | and started shakin', right?

And it was so gross, it was like a...

...like a dead, old, gross, dead... | Squirrel.

Ohh. Excuse me for a second, | would you, please?

I've just had my fruit cup. You're gonna | make me vomit, talkin' about dead...

...squirrels.

No, this... This is little Bobby.

No, that's little Bobby's cousin.

- Oh, it's just Richard. | - That ain't no Richard.

- It's Richard. | - Richard might be his middle name.

- It is too Richard. Look, it's on the back. | - You don't know him.

- Girl, no. | - It's written on the back of the picture.

Why do you let them come over here?

Because you know without me | you won't know about things.

Oh, and here comes Vernon. Look at Vernon.

- Please. | - That boy live here?

- Come in. | - Hey, Vernon, baby, how're you doin'?

- Lookin' good today. | - What's up, y'all?

All y'all lookin' good too.

I know I look good.

Hey, can I speak to Nasia?

- No, you don't. | - Uh-uh.

Nasia. Anything you got to say to her, | you can say it to all of us.

- Thank you. | - Shut up. I don't like you anyway.

- No way. | - Uh-uh. You don't come in here with that.

You don't come up in my house, | dissin' my friends. What is your function?

- I'm just playin', Nasia. | - What's up with your brother? Why he ain't call...

...me?

- Huh? | - Your brother. What's up with him?

- Oh. | - Girl, Denise told me he ain't had no muscles.

What do you want?

I want to know what's up with you and Buddy?

What do you mean? I mean...

You ain't been callin' him or nothin', man. | He told me.

- He said y'all don't even talk no more. | - Yeah, 'cause we broke up.

- Broke up? For what? | - Because he acts too much like a little kid.

I'm looking for a more mature person.

Man, he 13, you 12. Y'all both little kids.

What else y'all supposed to act like?

He's supposed to act more mature.

But you know what? I found somebody better.

- Who? | - George.

George? George is stupid.

- Oh, God. | - His skull ain't even fused together, man.

He can't even take baths. He stink.

He wear the same jeans every day.

He don't even talk, man. | I think something wrong with that boy for real.

You know what? This is not | even your problem. Why...

- It is my problem. | - No, it's not.

Yes, it is, because Buddy is like | my little brother, all right?

And I'm just tryin' to look out for him.

You his first girlfriend. This is comin' from | my heart right here, you know?

You just tryin' to act like | your sister or somethin', tryin' to be...

...fast.

- "What's wrong with you?" | - You know what?

I don't really care what you think.

I mean, I like Buddy up to a certain point.

But you know what? He acts too much like | a little kid, so I found somebody...

...else.

I don't want him goin' around goin' crazy | because some stupid little girl...

...dumped him.

I just wanna know | why "you two"... "why you trippin'."

Because he's too young. Case closed.

I've got people waitin' for me, | so I'll talk to you later.

All right, whatever.

George knew if his uncle found his dog...

...he'd end up killing it...

"'cause he was always killin'stuff"...

...bangin'on things and makin'traps.

The dog was very old and lazy...

...and just ugly...

...but George still loved it.

"It"... "It had bumps. " I mean, not bumps.

More like bugs and fleas and ticks.

All kinds of pests, like, all over its legs.

Oh, that I were as in the months of old...

...as in the days when God watched over me:

When His lamp shone over my head...

...and by His light | I walked through darkness:

When I was in my prime:

When the friendship of God was upon my tent:

When the Almighty was with me:

When my children were around me:

When my steps were washed with milk...

...and the rock poured | out for me streams of oil.

Thank you.

Hey, is that the Bible or Shakespeare?

" I mean, they"... | Yes, there are nice people here.

It's a nice town. I mean, | it's like any other place, I guess.

But it's got its good parts, | and then on the other side of the coin...

...there are the bad parts too.

But it's really too bad you can't see | the stars on account of all the smoke.

Man, you know what? | My room ain't got no windows anyway.

Hey, man, are you still | hanging out with that girl Nasia?

No, man. She dumped me last week at church.

- What? | - Yep.

- Geez. | - For my friend George Richardson.

- Uh-uh. | - It's kind of stupid, though. I mean...

I gave my all to her.

I mean, a plastic ring and a kiss.

I mean, it's the thought that counts.

George... I mean, he's all right.

I mean, if-if somebody had to | dump you for somebody else...

George is probably a three | on a one-to-ten scale.

I miss having her around...

...bein' able to talk to her | about my feelings and stuff.

I mean... She had this glaze in her eyes.

Just made me tingle all over.

Yeah.

It's like that one time | I dated this white girl.

And everything was going good. | You know what I mean?

Like, everything was cool.

And all of a sudden, for no... | For no reason...
