Hustle & Flow
See...
...man ain't like a dog.
And when I say "man,"
as in mankind, not man as in men.
Because men,
well, we a lot like a dog.
You know, we like to piss on things.
Sniff a b*tch when we can.
Even get a little pink hard-on
the way they do.
We territorial as sh*t, you know,
But man...
...he know about death.
Got him a sense of history.
Got religion.
See...
...a dog...
Man, a dog don't know sh*t
about no birthdays or Christmas
or Easter bunny, none of that sh*t.
And one day
God gonna come calling,
so, you know,
they going through life carefree.
But people like you and me, man,
we always guessing.
Wondering, "What if?"
You know what I mean?
So when you say to me,
"Hey, I don't think
I gotta say, baby, I don't think
we need to be doing this neither,
but we ain't gonna get no move on
in this world, lying around in the sun,
licking our ass all day.
I mean, we man.
I mean, you a woman and all,
but we man.
So with this said...
...you tell me what it is
you wanna do with your life.
I don't know.
- I mean, I guess I could, like...
- Hold up a second.
What's happening with you, man?
You like what you see, huh?
Look here, baby,

Twenty in the front, 40 in the back.
Hello?
Why don't you walk over there
and explain it to that motherf***er.
- Damn.
- From the D&Z sports desk,
I'm Dennis Phillippi, and the answer...
- Hot 107. 1, number one for hip-hop...
- Nothing but a bunch of jive and junk.
Coming up, your chance
to win a trip to Las Vegas.
Holler at your boy, it's Hot 107. 1.
- Please! F***ing with me, man! Hey!
- Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, what the hell?!
- Pull that sh*t again,
- Motherf***er, how you like that?
Boot your ass to hell.
- You heard me!
- Get the f*** up out of here.
Deranged son of a b*tch!
- You all right, Nola?
- Thanks, D.
Come on in, man. Come on in here.
Damn, man, you gotta
get some security up in here.
I'm the only
motherfucking security in here.
Sure is good
not to be cracking heads.
So, what you need, man,
a half or full O?
Ounce will do good.
Fourth coming up and all.
Righteous, man.
Hey, you remember
to my brother's house for playoffs?
Yeah, I remember that sh*t.
That ain't this, now, man.
We talking about... That's
a whole other zip-up bag on that.
That's f***ing prime product
right there.
We got some big company
coming in here for the Fourth.
Thought you may want
to get you some money.
- Big company?
- Yeah.
- Like what?
- You know Skinny Black?
Skinny Black.
Yeah, that...
Yeah, I know who Skinny is, man.
I know Skinny from
way back in the day.
See, I know Skinny
when he was hustling
his underground tapes
down at the drive-in,
out the back of his Cutlass.
Not no more he ain't.
Last one he put out went platinum.
- Platinum?
- Yeah.
- That's more special than gold, right?
- But he's still in Memphis.
He and his brother Tigga hook up with
their friends every Fourth of July.
I shut the place down,
make it all private for them.
And they just buy me out.
- Bullshit.
- No sh*t.
Yo, Skinny rolling like that, man?
Best get your ass up here
with that good sh*t.
Those boys don't want
none of this dirt weed.
So you're trying
to hurt my feelings, right?
- Just trying to help out a friend.
- For sure, man.
All right, all right, all right,
goddamn it,
we're going into a 2-for-1
for all you balling motherfuckers.
You gonna love this sh*t.
These lovely ladies will be doing
two dances for the price of one.
We got Luscious, we got Phoebe
and we got Lexus
coming up to satellite one.

- Wet out there, huh?
Yeah, sorry, man.

These lovely ladies will be giving you
two dances for the price of one.
- Come here. Excuse me, daddy.
- Don't you see me on a hustle?
- Where you at?
- I ain't at sh*t.
- I was on my third dance.
- Don't tell me...
You think I can just run up in here,
snap my fingers
and make these motherfuckers
- Watch your motherfucking tone...
- I ain't even made payout yet!
This one is pretty good.
My motherfucking house
got broken into too, b*tch.
- Hell, no.
- Hell, yeah, they kicked
both my doors in, girl. Stole the last
pound of hydro weed for the party.
You hear that?
That's my gut saying,
"Hurry the f*** up," okay?
- Come on.
- Look at this.
Hell, no. Look at this sh*t. What
the f*** you call that, the clapper?
Lights on, lights off. Don't play.
I'm gonna roll tonight.
I don't care what you say, D,
I ain't working day shift no more.
I don't care if I got to
take me a taxi ride home.
- You gonna work if I say you gonna.
- I ain't working with these skank-ass,
- trucker-bait ho's no more.
- Kiss my ass.
- B*tch, f***ing take my sh*t again.
- Sh*t don't make no sense.
If I'd known y'all was gonna take your
sweet f***ing time, I'd have come in.
Trudy says she made $500
last night, $500, you heard me?
- B*tch got that birthmark on her face?
- Five hundred dollars
for dancing for some man
who makes cotton.
- What she do for him? She tricking.
- It ain't fair.
I'm tricking! I ain't making $500.
- What the hell, fool?!
- Hey!

- Get your ass away from our car.
- What the f***'s wrong with you?
- Hey, D!
- It's only me, it's Harold.
- Get the f*** away from my car!
- It's me, Harold, Djay.
- Get away from my car, man.
- It's your dog.
- You're lucky as sh*t,

Nigga, I'm gateway mother... Man,
don't waste my time on no bullshit.
Wait, wait, wait. Check this out.
Check this out.
Check this out.
What can I get for this?
You think I look like
a pawnshop, man?
Is that...? I got "pawnshop"
written on my forehead?
Come on, Djay, f*** with me.
- F*** with me, Djay.
- Where you get it?
You know the business.

- No, none of that, man.
I used to play this thing myself,
all the time.

- Man, like a pro!
Let me see that motherf***er, man.
Yeah, man, I used to have
one of these when I was a little kid.

- But that's bigger and better.
F*** with me, now, D.
- F*** with me, Djay!
- Shut the f*** up, man.
- Nigga, I'll give you a quarter for it.
- A quarter?
Man, you mean a half and some. I can
get more than that at the pawnshop.
Take that sh*t to the pawnshop,
let's see what you get.
No, take it over there, man.
Give them your thumbprint.
- You on. You got it, you got it.
