you went to the booze

and you got f***ed up.

But that's fine.

-So the f*** what?

-So that's who, that's who...

That's just who you are.

You're a fuckup.

That's it. I don't care.

Whatever. I don't give a sh*t.

You shouldn't give a sh*t.

Who gives a sh*t?

I... I definitely

don't give a sh*t.

Look. Losers like you

are incapable

of taking care of themselves.

You're either leeching off

mommy or leeching off welfare

or living off

the government in jail.

That's you!

You don't know the first thing

about me, bro.

What's to know?

What's to know?

You serve absolutely

no function whatsoever.

It's pathetic.

I probably made more money

in the last two years

than you did in

your whole f***ing life, man.

Let's see, man, a couple

of years from now,

you ever seen me driving by

in my f***ing Lambo.

You're gonna put

your f***in' foot

so far up your mouth, bro.

You don't know what I'm

talking about at all.

'Bout f***in' time.

Hello.

Hello.

Yo, it's Caliph. Buzz me up.

All right.

I'm buzzing you up right now.

Yo, come on. Get in, man.

What the f*** happened

to your face, nigga?

-I told you it was f***ed up.

-You didn't tell me it was

-like this.

-It is. It is.

Aw, I can't even f***in'

look at you, man.

It's disgusting.

Then don't look at me.

I don't know what to tell you.

Where's the bottle?

It's in

this room with this f***er.

What are you whispering about?

Listen. Listen. This guy's

f***in' shot up, all right?

I just want to

get this sh*t over with.

Man, f*** this sh*t.

-Yo, what's up?

-Shut the door!

What the f***! You didn't

tell me there was a f***ing

dog in there.

F***ing forgot about that,

man. That's my bad.

What the f***!

How much did

you bring?

Calm the f*** down.

How much

did you bring?

I thought we were gonna

talk about this sh*t first,

and then decide.

So you brought nothing.

I need to know what the f***

I'm payin' for.

Is this guy serious?

Yeah,

I'm very serious.

I could've run with

my own f***ing car

and got the sh*t

the other day myself.

All right, both of you

get out. We're done.

Yo. Just give him

whatever you got,

and let's get the f***

outta here.

I'm gonna go get $1,000

from the ATM

and bring it right back.

I want 15,000, not 1,000.

How am I gonna get 15,000

from an ATM,

you crazy motherf***er?

This conversation's

over. You can leave now.

-Both of you.

-Don't give him sh*t.

How 'bout we do this?

I'll go to the ATM right now,

and I'm gonna take out $1,000

times three.

-Three Gs for you...

-No.

From the ATM in 30 minutes.

No. Not good enough!

All right. I'm gonna go

to the motherfuckin' bank.

It's gonna take me

about three hours

to get you the 15 Gs.

You want to sit here

and wait here like a dick?

Yeah.

Okay, great. Fine.

Great.

That guy's full of f***in'

sh*t. He's an a**hole.

You see what the f***

I've been dealin' with

-all f***in' night?

-Yeah, I get it. I get it.

I'm gonna f***in'

go right now.

I'll be back at 9:30.

Keep your eye on him,

all right?

I'm gonna go to the BX.

I'm gonna get with Tasha.

And then I'll be back.

That's what I'm talking about.

Hold him

the f*** down.

Yeah. I'll see you, all right?

Yo!

Yo!

What?

What are you doing?

I told you. I'm done.

He's coming back

with the money, bro.

Get off. I'm leaving.

No, we're waiting.

We're f***ing waiting.

Waiting for what?

We're f***in' waiting!

I'm not letting you leave

with that f***in' bottle, man.

F***in' let go of this sh*t.

Get off me! F***ing mutt!

Get the f*** off me!

Sh*t! God damn it! F***!

Sh*t.

Yo, it's me. Yo, you gotta get

back here right now.

You gotta get back here

right f***ing now.

Dude, he left!

He left with it!

What were

you f***ing thinking?

The f***in' dog, man!

Listen, you just gotta come.

They're swarming

the f***in' building.

Hold on. Hold on.

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

Hey, yo!

Stop!

Stop! You're under arrest.

Get the f*** down!

Oh, sh*t!

He's getting bagged

as we speak, man!

It's on top of a parking lot.

In a puddle.

The Sprite bottle.

You can't miss it.

It's right out front.

It's right out front.

You can't miss it.

I gotta go.

I'll call you back.

You never talked to me. Bye.

Police Department!

Come out with your hands up!

Open the door.

Hey, keep an eye

on this crowd.

They're starting

to set up

a perimeter for this.

He went

out the window! Window!

Look up!

All units!

He's on the building!

All units.

Call it in now!

There he is.

Good to see you, Nick.

I'm really glad you're here.

And I gotta tell you,

that is a very cool haircut.

You look really sharp.

Mrs. Nikas, it's so good

to see you, too.

-Good to see you.

-Thank you for bringing

-Nick in. Thank you.

-Thank you very much

for everything.

Okay. Listen, I want you

to come with me.

I'm gonna take you someplace.

I just enrolled you in

this really terrific class.

I'm gonna walk you

there right now.

You are gonna love it.

You know, Nick,

I have to tell you,

what Connie did.

Connie did the right thing.

He did

the really responsible thing.

And the best news is,

he's right where he belongs.

And you're right

where you belong.

And I gotta tell you,

this place where we are now

can be a lot of fun

if you let it.

You know that, don't you?

Energy.

Energy in my hands.

Energy.

Energy in my foot.

- Hi, Peter!

- Hi. Hi, Samantha. Hi.

Please excuse me

for interrupting.

I just want everybody to

meet my friend Nick.

Nick, say hi to everybody.

Hi, Nick!

That's Samantha.

This is Aubrey.

-Hi.

-Aubrey conducts this class.

I've seen these classes.

They're great.

I think you're gonna like it.

It's a lot of fun.

I don't know

nobody here though.

No, you don't.

That's okay.

There's a lot of people here

that are new, too.

You're not alone.

You're gonna have a good time.

And I'll be right out here.

I'm just going to be

waiting for you.

- I'm not leaving without you.

- All right.

Thank you, everybody.

Nice to see you.

Bye, Peter!

Bye, Samantha.

Nice to meet you.

Can I take your coat?

I've really had

a long day.

Hey, guys, say hi to Nick

one more time.

- Make him feel welcome.

- Hi, Nick.

Okay.

Since Nick is here,

we're gonna get to know

each other a little bit more

and play something

called Cross The Room.

So I'd love

everyone to divide up

on one side of the room.

Nick, this way, thank you.

Uh, Rodney, you can actually

get over here.

Backari next to Andrew.

Perfect.

Okay. I'm going to give you

a prompt.

I'm gonna say,

"Cross the room if you

like something.

"Cross the room

if you want to do something.

"Cross the room if you have

ever done something."

And if you have or agree

with those prompts,

you would cross the room.

Now,

you choose whether or not

you want to cross.

You don't have to.

It could be your secret.

You choose your truth. Okay?

Okay.

So let's start with

something easy.

Cross the room

if you like candy.

Mikey and Michael

don't like candy? Okay.
