Let me call you back later.

l got somethin' to take care of.

Can you explain this?

He called Mom out a name.

Don't you think

it's been long enough?

l am sick of you using

your mother for an excuse.

l wasn't using her as an excuse.

Then why didn't you tell me

when you got home?

Why you try to hide it?

l didn't think it was important.

No? Your school thought

it was important.

You'll spend tonight thinking

about your priorities...

after you finish

your damn homework.

You said

l could go to the party.

Them hoods you fought with

will be there...

and you don't need

no more trouble.

lt's not that type of crowd.

All my friends will be there.

l don't care if Marvin Gaye

will be there. You won't!

You don't know

how to act no way.

Last time, you didn't come in

till l went to work.

lf you let me go this time,

l'll be back before curfew.

lt'd be different

if Peter's parents were there.

l wouldn't mind you going.

But they ain't.

They work nights just like l do.

Matter of fact,

them folks is out of town.

You kids think you slick,

don't you?

Every little step you take

will be around this bedroom.

Believe it.

You're not goin' nowhere.

You're gonna make me

a social misfit.

l'm tryin' to make you

a responsible person.

But l am responsible.

Listen, get your act together.

Keep your mind on them books

and off them gals.

'Cause you will make

the same mistake l did.

Look, l'm sorry.

l'm sorry.

l shouldn't have said that.

l'm sorry.

l'm under a lot of pressure.

l'm sorry.

But you ain't goin'

to that damn party.

l don't give a damn

what you say.

That's why l hate messin'

with them.

We got to get going.

No time to waste.

Who's that in the car, Play?

That's a honey.

l know what you're thinking.

That ain't for you,

but there'll be a lot more.

We can't fit

a lot of equipment...

and three people

in that little-ass car!

You don't know how

to load things scientifically.

Leave it!

You're tearing my sh*t!

Don't!

Sh*t! What the--

Just leave it alone! Don't!

Play, leave it alone!

Just leave it! l'll do it!

Leave it alone!

Hey, l'm--Hey!

There it is. We got it.

Where am l supposed to sit?

Get out! She's gonna walk!

She's gonna walk!

Of course you can fit.

Try the other side.

You can get in right over--

Excuse me one minute.

Yes, baby?

l don't even appreciate

how you treatin' me.

l'm real sorry, baby.

l do appreciate

the way you look.

No. Don't touch me!

l'll tell you what.

l'll run this over to my crib

and be right back.

Be right back? Kiss my ass!

You gonna take

my equipment and leave me?

No! l ain't goin' for it!

What else can l do?

Kick that b*tch to the curb

and let me ride.

l'm the D.J., man.

Who you callin' a b*tch?

Your mama's a b*tch.

-My mama ain't no b*tch.

-lf l am, she is.

l'll kick your ass!

l'll fight a girl!

l know.

l seen a couple beat you.

l can't. lt would be cold.

Besides,

she's packed in real good.

Look, no.

You know what, man?

l f***ed up today.

l owe you one,

and l'll be right back for you.

-No, you ain't.

-He's got nerve.

l'll kick both of your asses.

Play, don't play.

Don't do that!

Don't drive off!

l'll say it calmly.

Maybe l was hollering.

Play, don't play.

l love you!

Play! Damn!

Hold on, man.

Somebody's at the door.

lt's Sidney.

Yeah, she's a trip.

You know who she is.

You like her.

Go ahead and wait

in the living room...

with your big nose.

Punk. Hi, everybody.

No, man, l said 12:00.

l didn't say 8:
00.

l ain't going

to no party at 8:00.

-Sharane!

-l'm coming!

There'll be

fine women at the party.

Why bring a girl with you?

The incomparable Delfonics

and much, much more.

This is a fantastic album.

Let me borrow it.

No, my brother.

You've got to buy your own.

Come on, girl.

l said l was coming.

You always rushin'.

Whazzup?

My nails are wet.

Let's go outside while they dry.

Leave her at home, man.

She's ugly.

l can't wait to do that dance.

You know the one we been doin'?

Wait, l'm comin' back out.

You move, you lose.

-Come on, Sharane.

-Bye.

She gets on my nerves.

l don't know

if l like my outfit.

Why? You matchin'.

l think l match too much.

l told you about them

Garanimal outfits from K-Mart.

Why you tryin' to dis me?

Want some Kool-Aid?

Peanut, bring us

two glasses of Kool-Aid.

You know l'll ask you

to borrow that tomorrow.

-There ain't no more.

-Make some.

l won't give it to you.

-Sharane!

-What?

-Grape or red?

-Red.

Peanut, fix me

some of that Dick Gregory.

Who's supposed to be there?

Play...

Dragon-breath Bilal.

And your man, Kid.

You go, girl. Yours.

Don't even try it!

That is your man!

l don't know why

you keep sweatin' him.

He got a cute thing happenin'.

He's just so young-actin'.

He needs to chill from hangin'

with his crew and grow up...

then maybe l'll give him some.

You ain't givin' nobody nothin'.

-Don't even try it!

-Watch.

And l'm gonna give you

details blow by blow.

l'm gonna get my coat.

OK. Bye, everybody.

Bye, Grandma.

You drink that, Peanut.

We out of here.

Look at all that sugar.

Just thinkin' about that stuff

makes my teeth hurt.

That's good, girl.

What you talkin' about?

Way down in the jungle deep...

the lion stepped on

the signifyin' monkey's feet.

The monkey said,

"Motherf***er, can't you see?"

"You're standin'

on my goddamn feet."

B-love, yo, bust it!

What's up, cuz?

Bet you thought l cut you,

but l came back as promised.

l ain't goin'.

What do you mean

you ain't goin'?

Read my lips.

l've been waiting an hour

to tell you l'm not going.

You're just a little upset--

This is why

l don't D.J. for free.

'Cause n*ggers

don't be appreciating sh*t.

-l don't appreciate nothin'?

-No, you don't.

Man, take a look in that car.

There's too many for me

to handle.

They all goin' to the party...

and all they asked was,

"Who's the D.J.?"

So l brought them over...

so you could jump-start

before the other brothers.

ls that supposed to convince me?

Ladies, B-love's in the house.

Dragon-breath.

Who you talkin' to?

Look at this hair.

Eraserhead!

Where you going?

Why do you want to know?
