Jamesy Boy Page #3
If we let it, you know?
What?
You can sleep here if you want to.
Hold.
Open 42.
Watch out!
Hey, old timer.
You got anything to read?
Come on, I've been in the
hole for three weeks.
I'm going batshit.
I don't wanna be friends, guppy.
I've been down more than three
years, I ain't no fish.
JB...
Guillermo runnin' his mouth, man.
Punk ass said you snuck him
in the shower.
Wants to put a knife in your back.
So what?
So we should handle that.
Why does nobody test that guy?
'Cause that guy made it known
he didn't wanna be tested.
Motherf***er's got
status in the yard.
Killed five people inside and
saying he's done two more since.
Hold!
Planning a vacation?
Don't talk to me.
Why I'm right?
'Cause poetic seizures keep me
thinking in Morse code,
so I write all the Tory
hallucinations in sign language,
so you can see how it sounds
when I write, all right?
but chain gangs,
street gangs turn into literary
genius, am I right?
I rewrite, everybody start,
everyone have to write...
Yard's over!
Yo.
What's in Rio de "Janeerio"?
Shut up.
Hit.
Hit.
Somethin' better.
Somethin' better?
It's pronounced "Janeiro".
You've been?
Only in my mind.
I got this kid hurt.
There was a fight in the
showers and he got stabbed.
So?
So, I'm gonna
Oh, starting
a yard war is a good way
to make sure you don't
go back to the real world.
Maybe that's what you're scared of.
I'm not scared.
Oh, you think you different
News for you, kid.
You're not.
Go!
Oh, sh*t!
Hey.
Um, can I get two grape cigarillos
and a pack of racks, please?
Do you have ID?
Oh... I think I forgot it at home.
Come on, we're friends aren't we?
Just take it.
What?
I don't want any trouble.
I've seen you around.
I know you deal drugs.
I'm not robbing you.
I'm paying, see?
I'm James.
Hey.
Come here.
Let's go somewhere and f***.
Uh-huh
It's a fly little low so
I thought you got that outfit
last week week
When you were shoppin'
Call it heavy
on the latest
Hey yo, slow down.
Yo!
Are you deaf?
Hey, yo, slow down.
What, here?
Yo, pull the f*** over!
Pull over!
What the hell is wrong with you? You
know with the sh*t we got in the trunk?
If a cop pulled us over
we would get ten years.
Roc sends you on a couple errand boy jobs
and suddenly you're f***ing invincible?
No.
Then what?
What?
I've invincible all along.
Ugh!
Plus, with the amount of paper
I've been puttin' in Roc's pocket,
he's gonna start
taking me more seriously.
I ain't nobody's b*tch, Crystal.
Grimey, f*** this.
Jamesy Boy here, talkin' me
into bringing him back
to their own crib,
to plan their next move.
But once, now look, once he's inside...
Wha'd you do, man?
I robbed them.
Oh, sh*t.
Naw, right?
Swear to God,
picks up one of their
own pieces, right?
A'ight.
Mm-hmm, yeah.
Stands one guy, against four.
Eenie, meenie, miney,
motherfuckin' Moe.
Sh*t.
Tells him he's collecting
a "disloyalty tax".
Disloyalty tax.
Hold up.
What the f*** happened after that?
They sh*t their pants,
is what happened!
They paid him!
They pissed all over their rug.
And I end up making money
on what's supposed to be
a strike against me.
Right?
But that sh*t ain't even the point.
Naw.
The point is,
Jamesy Boy's got loyalty.
It was good.
I want to talk to you about
some ideas I got.
Maybe a couple deals I think
I could line up on my own.
All right.
Drink one of these.
Put some f***in' bass
in your voice.
Not now.
Right?
You keep putting in that work
on the smaller jobs, we'll see.
All good?
Cool.
All right.
By the way,
congratulations on Crystal.
Thank God for the sluts, right?
Hon, look what I found.
What is this,
like a diary or some sh*t?
You writing down your feelings?
What are you doing?
Can you imagine if Roc
or Drew found this?
Give it back!
Oh my God.
I said give it back to me!
Oh! Calm down.
Hey.
I just didn't know
my big tough gangster
had a soft and chewy centre.
What?
Hey!
Hey.
Come here.
I'm sorry, okay?
I promise we'll never
All right?
How was your drive?
Long.
There was construction,
the weather's sh*t, of course.
How's Holly?
Better.
She says hi.
She looks like she might actually...
make good.
I guess I probably
helped with that.
"Now you best behave yourself
or you'll end up
You haven't ended up
like anything yet.
God, I hate...
I hate this place.
I could've been here too.
No, you wouldn't have.
Thanks.
What do you want for Christmas?
What?
Your hearing's in five weeks,
it's your first
Christmas in four years,
you can bet there's gonna be
something under the tree.
When was the last time
you got a tree?
I'm getting you a kickass present,
so unless you want socks,
you better say something.
Just a hearing, Mom.
We've both got dealt
shitty hands, boy,
but things are gonna get better?
Yeah.
Yo.
Well?
Is it honest?
Yeah.
Why the hell do you
care what I think?
You really kill five people?
There's a giant bay...
and in the middle there's a rock...
and way up high on the mountain...
there's a 100-foot tall
statue of Jesus Christ...
with his arms spread out.
They speak Spanish there, right?
Naw.
No, Portuguese.
It's the only country
in South America
where they don't speak Spanish.
And they eat those, um...
those little bananas, right?
Plantains.
Hmm.
Now you keep writing.
it don't even matter
if it's good or not.
You do everything you can
to just block this sh*t out.
Just block it out.
Prisons are packed
with crowded spaces.
Lifers and guards,
with hollow faces.
Amongst the sea...
But amongst the sea
of tribulation...
Well, I'm waiting on a day
when the people walk free
To see and the penitentiary
is on fire
There's only
to be your mother
Or your brother or the one
to come before you for
I'm waiting on a time when
the people walk free to see
And the
penitentiary in our mind
There's no need
to bleed for your father
Or your son all the
the one that you recall
When the penitentiary
is on fire
When the penitentiary
is on fire
I'm waiting on a day
when the people come free
Cesario, get up man.
You gotta show them you're
strong, get the f*** up, man.
All right.
What's up with you?
What's up, ha.
Read that.
I had a girl on the outside too.
I was crazy for her.
But after I went down,
she stopped talking.
It's tough.
But it's not the end of the world.
I guess so, ha.
Stephanie was like the whole
reason I kept going.
Two f***ing years.
So, you know, um,
when I was in the med ward,
there were these visitors that
would come in and read to us.
One of them told me something.
That we have the right
to file a formal complaint
and bypass the COs, and go
straight to the administration.
You can't do that.
If there's an investigation,
