Let's take it to the stage.

Sorry, sir.

Look, Officer,

it was just an accident.

We don't want to press charges.

They've been in

a few accidents this evening.

They need discipline,

not solitary confinement.

That's true.

Thank you very much.

Too scared to make a statement.

-They're not gonna talk?

-Nope.

They're not gonna press charges?

You perpetrators

were very lucky tonight.

Apparently these people

aren't gonna press charges.

So you're gonna get up,

go home, and go to bed.

But before you do...

l want you to repeat after me.

What?

l am...

What?

l am !

Come on, with feeling.

l am...

somebody.

somebody.

Oh, really.

This is ridiculous.

That's good.

Now get up and go home.

Beat it! Hold it!

Let him go. You go that way.

Sh*t!

The place to be.

-Got some gum, man?

-No.

Groove!

What's up, Play?

Chill! Herman, man.

Make yourself at home.

Too many hard-legs here.

Need more women.

LaDonna! How you doin', baby?

Lookin' real good.

How about giving me

those digits?

Step off.

Baby, l'm taking you places,

meetin' people.

-Clinton, homes.

-What's up, money?

Glad you could make it.

of dancing with you later.

LaShay, how you doin'?

Don't you have any refreshments?

Some soda or potato chips?

You should've got here earlier.

Liter bottles, potato chips,

the whole shebang.

Brothers went through it.

l always get here

too late for the snacks.

There's a store

right up the street.

Anything you want.

Help yourself.

Mama should have fed you

before you got here.

This ain't no soup kitchen.

Yo, what's up, man?

What's up?

Glad you showed up.

What's with your pops?

How much more trouble

A beat-down's a beat-down.

on the dance floor.

Why these cops

keep sweatin' us, man?

They always f***in' with us.

They're gone, man.

Damn.

Look at us, fellas.

This is not right.

We're nervous and tense.

Cop cars follow us,

and we just go to pieces.

-This ain't us!

-This ain't the way.

l know there's a reason

behind all this.

And l know what the reason is.

All because of some f*ggot,

head-like-a-rocket...

stick-your-finger-in-a-socket,

punk motherf***er named Kid.

That's who l mean!

Ever since this fool

came into my life...

l can't do nothin'

but see him, man.

l'll be alone with

my woman sometimes...

damn near ready

to wax that ass...

and all l can do

is vision this fool.

-Word?

-Word.

l know when it comes

to my dick action...

He must have a mental block

or something.

Pee-Wee, you know what l mean.
