[Panting]

[Chattering]

How you been? Can I have some of this?

I'll come back, Mommy.

- Yo, what's up, man?

- I can't believe you didn't wake me up.

What am I?

Your p*ssy watchman?

I need my eight hours.

I must say though, dog, you got skills.

I need to try your

cologne or something.

I'm serious. I just hope she doesn't

get in too much trouble, man.

Her? You need to worry about

if the Hammer gonna chop you to pieces.

He's a rich boy. The worst he can do

is get his dad to fire me.

You know how he got that name?

- 'Cause he hammers people to pieces?

- No, man.

Andrea hit him in the head

with a hammer when he was a kid.

- He's got a little dent right there.

- [Laughing]

- He had you runnin' though.

- Only 'cause your ass didn't wake me up.

[Horn Honks]

- That your ride?

- Yeah.

- Which reminds me.

- Hmm?

- You owe me a bicycle now, dog.

- Come on, man.

Yo, we're all dogs, man.

But, yo, some of us just pedigree.

- [Horn Honks]

- Kimo! How you doin'?

Hey, I'll see you at school.

Whitey boy.

Why-Why doesn't he like me?

Well, you're just not from around here.

That's all.

That's cool.

[Chattering]

Ah, my boy.

What's happenin'?

- It's a day of work.

- The boss not here.

Boss not here?

Where is he?

- Hey, yo, Antoine.

- Yeah, yo.

Someone last night

raped his daughter.

Raped her? Raped her?

Yo, I've got to go.

Bro gone mad.

When acid is added to the universal

indicator, what color does it turn?

[Together]

Red.

We can then neutralize the acid by adding

small amounts of alkali drop by drop.

- And what color does it get to?

- [Together] Green.

- Now, make sure that those test tubes-

- Psst. Yo, Keisha.

Girl, what's up with you

and this tub o'lovin'?

Girl, you know I got

a sickness for the thickness.

- Kimo.

- Shy, what are you doin'here?

- I'm looking for Andrea. Have you seen her?

- No, man.

Oh, you come to get some more, huh?

A little quickie in the washroom.

You've gotta stop saying that sh*t, man.

You're gonna get me in trouble.

Yo, Shy, you were

at my house this morning.

That was you, motherf***er.

I saw you.

You come to my house,

and you rape my sister.

- No, no, no. I didn't rape your sister, man.

- I saw you there.

You lie to me about raping

my f***ing sister?

- You f*** with my father's name.

- I didn't rape your sister.

- You f*** with my family name, huh?

- [All Shouting]

- Fight! Fight!

- [School Bell Rings]

- [Shouting Continues]

- Break it up! Break it up!

I want you, you and you

to the office right now! Let's go!

- [Shouting Continues]

- Man.

I don't want you to worry, baby.

But you have to understand this is not a-

some kind of innocent mischief.

This is a serious situation here.

We make mistakes.

It wasn't a mistake.

Darling, you don't

understand what love is.

You don't know man-woman love.

I will talk to the police.

I will handle all the legal concerns.

- But why?

- Because this boy, he come in through a window-

- I let him in.

- You never let no one in your house!

Eh?

You let him in for what?

To steal the first night

of your womanhood?

Am I to put bars on the window?

- Shy.

- I'm sorry, Mom.

What happened here?

Why were you here today?

I'm serious, kid.

It's gangster, bro.

This is-

This is beyond-

Once you do this,

then there no coming back.

It was just some mix-up.

One of the gangster kids-

You've gotta leave this

school yard stuff behind.

- I know.

- You know how I feel about fighting.

Don't touch this sh*t.

I don't even want this on me, bro.

I don't pick fights.

Look at this face. It takes after you.

- Come on.

- Stop it.

- Hey, you the handle.

- You the blade, man.

[Rooster Crowing]

Hey, yo, for real, though,

what happened with you and Hammer?

I mean he can't

let this sh*t go? Move.

Yeah, that sh*t goes way back.

He came and worked with us one summer down

at the dock, trying to impress his father.

My future brother-in-law, man. He's got

a whole lot of proving to do to the world, yo.

Yeah, but he gotta be

jealous too, though, man.

I mean the brother

not blessed with good looks.

- I prettier than him. In fact, he ugly, dog.

- You're such a pretty boy.

[Laughs]

Ah, move, move.

And, yo, I'm serious

about that bike, dog!

[Horn Tooting]

- Yo.

- Yo, Hammer, what are you

doing, man? This is my house.

- F***! F***!

- [Screaming]

[Screaming]

F***, Hammer!

[Dog Barking]

[Woman]

Andrea...

do you know why you've been made

to come to these sessions?

Because I had a little sex.

Just like every other girl my age.

I don't understand

what's the big deal.

I see you're getting

really upset about this.

Let's talk about something else.

Yeah, let's talk about something else.

Let's talk about Shy.

No! We're not gonna

f***ing talk about Shy.

Leave him alone.

Have you tried

reaching out to him?

He used to call me...

[Clears Throat] on his bad days.

He don't want to see me though.

He don't want to see anybody.

Have you ever been in love?

Yeah.

I'm gonna go now.

[Clears Throat]

Just tell my daddy

I stayed the full hour.

F*** it.

Write whatever you want.

[Chattering]

[Seagulls Squawking]

[Man]

Hey, today Friday the 13th.

Nobody don't go fishing

on the 13th.

Yeah, Shy. It's bad luck, man.

You better stay ashore today.

But if you want, you can come

and play a game of dominoes with us.

Poor sufferer.

[Engine Starts]

You know, they released

your brother today.

- He a little gangster now.

- Shut the f*** up.

So what? We ain't gonna

be able to hang no more?

What's the deal? You want me

to just take you home?

Huh?

No.

I want you to take me somewhere

and f*** the sh*t out of me.

[Engine Starts]

- [Radio Static]

- [Rattling]

What's up, big man?

You're like a ghost

in broad daylight.

I never see you no more.

I've been here.

Or out fishing, you know.

For real though. L-

I've been wondering if you're all right.

I'm survivin', you know.

Put a CD player in the pookie.

You know, you should

roll out tonight.

Richie is having his birthday bash.

It's gonna be

a "pootenanny" holiday.

I'll catch you later, yo.

Correction. You can't just expect

to drop out of the world, man.

It's just looks.

You're still the same person.

You're my dog.

It's just looks.

You wanna try

walking around like this?

I'm trying to

keep my heart clean, Kimo.

It was just a pebble at a window, bro.

It was just a pebble

at a f***ing window!

I will sue this government.

They keep my boy in jail for four months

with no evidence, no testimony, nothin'.

Four monthsl

And they can't find the fool- the animal

that molest me poor daughter?

My princess.

And you, Mr. Hammer.

You disgrace my name.

You disgrace my family!

Only one thing I do when you were born-

I give you a name.

You're not some pygmy in a bush!

You's a Sterling!

When them judge you,

them judge me.

- And no man judge me!

- [Buzzing]

If you run with them a**holes,
