Yeah, I ain't no b*tch.

No, the Twinkies come...

Look at me.

Did you steal the Twinkies?

Yeah, I stole 'em.

Go home.

- Well, I'm...

- No, go home!

I'm sorry, please!

Just please!

No, I don't have

time for this sh*t.

Look, I'll pay you back.

No. Go home.

I can work here

for free today.

I'm not your babysitter,

Kamilla.

Daniel is.

What?

Besides, if I can't stay here,

I have nowhere else to go.

Go to school.

Don't be tryin' to guilt trip me.

Get outta here!

Go!

Hey, hey, hey, hey...

No, just give him a couple hours.

He'll be good, a'ight?

Close the door.

- You're overreacting, man.

- Nah!

You know she shouldn't be here.

I remember the day

that I met you

- Hey, Jesus!

- Kamilla, a donde vas?

Hand in hand

we strolled through the park

Then all of a sudden

you kissed me

and you started

to play with my heart

You said you would love me

Stay with me everyday

Yo.

Why don't you go

fix the signs?

Okay.

Is there anything else

that I can help you with?

Yeah, I'd like to see this in size...

Hi, do you need

help with that, ma'am?

Yeah, can I get these

in size 8 1/2?

- Kamilla.

- Huh?

DKJ-786.

- DKJ... okay, 786.

- 786.

- It'll just be a couple of moments.

- You guys are really busy today, huh?

DKJ-746?

- 786!

- 86.

Jesus.

Can I have help over here?

- How's your day going?

- Good!

Yeah, just give me

a couple of minutes.

Catch.

What's wrong with you?

BVJ-459.

Okay.

- BVJ-459.

- BVJ-459, Got it.

- How you doing today, ma'am?

- Oh, good.

Yeah, she's our little helper.

BVJ-459.

Uh, could you watch

the counter, please?

Yeah.

Ain't it wrong to have

such a young girl

employed by the neighborhood?

Ah, she's adopted.

Yeah, she's half Korean,

half Black.

I'm being held here

against my own will.

Uh, hold up.

This is with the sale

and the discount?

Yeah.

This don't add up.

It does add up.

There's taxes on these things.

That's false advertising.

Listen...

Taxes don't go to me, okay?

The taxes go

to the government.

We all gotta pay that stuff.

You people always

tryin' to rip us off.

"You people"?

B*tch, you act like you ever

heard of f***in' taxes before?

- Oh, hell no!

- No, no, f*** it!

- You ain't gettin' my business.

- Bounce. F*** you.

- Damn chink!

- Hold on, ma'am.

No, let her go, f*** it.

The f*** do you mean,

let her go?

She wasn't gonna

buy sh*t anyway, f*** it.

Does that matter?

Yo, you ever heard of

"the customer's always right"?

Dawg, she's acting like she's

never heard of taxes before.

What am I supposed

to do with that?

Who the f*** cares, man?

Yo, next time,

just keep your mouth shut

and finish the f***ing sale.

I'm not doing anything different

than Appa would've done, man.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

Dad pissed of half the

customers who came in here.

Where is he?

Where is he?

Kamilla.

- Huh?

- You hungry?

Yeah.

Help her.

I thought police was supposed

to protect us, you know?

Um, you know, I feel even

if he did something wrong,

you know, he didn't...

What do you wanna eat?

I don't know.

Maybe a...

chicken salad sandwich?

Chicken salad?

Or chicken nug...

Oh, sh*t.

Who'd do this?

F***.

What up?

Ha! you quit that job yet, man?

Nah, nigga, I'm 'bout

It's worth it.

Man, I don't care if he sees me.

Oh.

You little smart ass.

Why are you always hangin'

around our place, anyway?

Why not? I mean,

who'll protect you guys?

What do you mean?

No one in this

neighborhood likes you.

Ah, that's true.

They're all like,

"Look at those Chinese people

"comin' in our neighborhood

and rippin' us off.

"All them gooks, they be

No, no, no, no.

You have to finish school, okay?

Fine.
