Ah, thankyou.

Yo, Blizzard is in there

He asked me if I wanted

a piece of the action.

You said no?

What are you, crazy?

I don't think so.

Let me tell you

[Gunshot]

That motherf***er took

his destiny in his own hands.

Mmm, some destiny.

What you know about it,

Big Chops?

What you ever control?

I control my life.

That's bullshit.

I got more control

overyour life than you do.

How you figure that?

I'm lettin' you breathe,

ain't I?

You can't even

walkyour own block

without getting f***ed up

by Radames, let's not forget.

Ha ha ha.

Oh, sh*t!

It's Blizzard!

A gunman was killed

in a shoot-out with police

as he attempted to rob

the Harlemwood bar

just under an hour ago.

The gunman,

identified as 20-year-old

Barnett Jerkins,

wounded two officers before

he himself was killed.

On the news at 7:00,

we'll have more on this story

as well as an update

on the campaign...

Y o, man, we were

just down there.

To have the already

financially strapped city

provide more

police protection

on the subway els

after dark.

What the f*** are you doing, man?

Come here!

F***in' Radames.

We ain't sh*t.

Man, what's your problem?

You're my f***in' problem!

People sweat us

on the street,

and you don't even

give a f***.

I thinkyou're

exaggerating.

That's bullshit, man!

We run from the cops,

we run from Radames,

we run from

security guards,

we run from Old Man Quiles

and his bullshit store

when he come

with that bullshit gun.

All we do

is f***in' run!

I feel like I'm on

the god damn track team.

I'm serious!

What's the matter,

Raheem?

Nothin' to say?

That's 'cause

you know I'm right.

In your heart,

you know I'm right.

Yo, big man! Ifyou want

respect, you gotta earn it.

You damn right!

You gotta be ready

to go down,

stand up,

and die like Blizzard did

ifyou want some juice.

Blizzard? Blizzard ain't

stickin' up to nothin' now.

That's 'cause we wasn't there

to back him up!

Ifwe was there--

There'd be five dead n*ggers

instead of one!

You ain't sayin' nothin' now,

right, big man?

I never thought

I'd see the day

when you'd

talk like a punk.

Fuckyou, man!

Yo, chill!

F*** chill!

Checkyourself, Q.

You gotta

snatch some collars

and let them

motherfuckers know

you're there

to take them out

anytime you

feel like it.

You gotta get the ground

beneath your feet,

get the wind

behind your back,

and go out in a blaze.

Otherwise

you ain't sh*t.

You might as well be dead

your damn yourself.

You tryin' to tell me

I ain't sh*t?

I ain't tryin'

to tell you sh*t.

I'll tell your mama

you ain't sh*t.

Yo, man, what

are we fightin' for?

I don't know, n*gger.

You ready to die?

You're f***ed up, man.

Don't turn your f***in'

back on me, n*gger!

You broke

the f***in' vase, man!

What the f***

is y'all doin', man?

Damn, man!

What the f***?

Messin' up my sh*t, man!

Feed y'all!

Sorry, man. Here!

F*** that money, man!

Look at that sh*t!

I got to tell

my parents--

Shut the f*** up!

All right, that's it!

That's it!

Bishop, I want you and Q

to settle this sh*t

right now!

Come on, y'all.

You're like brothers.

F*** that.

You are brothers!

F*** that.

We used to be like brothers.

All right,

we're going to squash it.

What do you say?

Bishop?

Yeah, it's cool.

All right.

I'm not makin' sense!

You're not makin' sense!

[Doorbell Rings]

You know why?

What?

Uh, how you doin'?

Who the hell are you?

I'm just cleaning out

some of Frank's things.

Um, Frank, Q.

Q, Frank.

How you doin'?

Q.

What, did names like

Mustafah and Akbar

become too hard

to spell?

My real name is Quincy,

and I'm not too fond

of that name,

so people call me Q

or GQ, you know,

Iike a nickname,

abbreviation.

Well, uh, Quincy,

shouldn't you be out stealing

hubcaps or something like that?

A**hole.

Excuse me? Speak up.

it's a little late

to try acting

like a husband now?

You're taking this

save-the-children sh*t too far.

Just telling you

foryour own good.

Bye, Frank.

I can't express

concern, what?

So that's him, huh?

attitude problem.
