La Haine

You murderers! lt's easy

to gun us down! We only got rocks!

H A T E:

This film is dedicated

to friends and family

who died

while it was in the making.

Heard about the guy

who fell off a skyscraper?

On his way down past each floor,

he kept saying

to reassure himself:

''So far so good...

''so far so good...''

How you fall doesn't matter.

lt's how you land!

More rioting in the projects

outside the city.

Last night a mob of youths

attacked a police station

in the Muguet projects.

Pitched battles

left 14 officers injured.

A mall and nearby buildings

were damaged by looters

who dispersed around 4 a.m.

Alleged police brutality

sparked the riots 2 days ago.

A local teen was severely beaten

under questioning.

The officer was suspended.

The victim, Abdel Ichaha,

is in hospital

in critical condition.

Got a looter under arrest,

a minor.

SAYlD:
F*** THE POLlCE

Vinz! Where the f*** is he?

- What?

- Whadda ya mean ''what''?

Can't f***in' say hello?

Chill, Sayid. What's up?

Tell your bro to come out.

Quit hollering!

You guys made enough noise

Shut up!

Don't play dumb!

You still there? Beat it!

he'll get mad. You try!

l hope the cops tan your hide!

Vinz...

Shut up, Sayid.

Shut up? Be nice

or you're history, fuckface!

Go away. You stink!

You want to play

this early? One...

Three.

You lose.

F*** your sister.

l told you not to talk about her!

She sucks Donald Duck. Get lost!

Jew boy!

You bogus kike, you're nowhere!

- l saw a cow.

- What?

A cow.

Got some smoke?

ln the box.

Last night, during the riot,

l dashed behind a building:

Wham! l ran right into a cow.

Really?

Stop smoking,

your brain's fried!

Off my bed!

l'll say you're taking drugs!

l'll cut your throat, hang you up,

you'll drown in your blood!

Granma!

Get off the bed.

You get out.

Stay off my bed!

Get lost, you snitch!

Move it.

Watch your mouth with my sister!

- Got any salt?

- Respect your granma!

You my father?

What about Dad?

You my mother now?

Go to school!

lt burned down.

Burned down! Savages!

Start that way and soon

you'll skip temple!

- Granma!

- What?

l didn't burn the school!

And you don't go to temple!

You win! l surrender!

lf everyone ran from an argument,

there'd be a stampede, already!

But we'd all be going

the same way!

Mazeltov!

You talkin' to me?

You talkin' to me,

mothafucka!

...the guy says:
''For cash,

l'd even murder!''

He tells his friend:

''l'd even waste you.''

The friend freaks,

so the guy says:

''Don't worry, you're a buddy.

''l won't waste you for cash,

l'll do it for free!''

What a killer line! ''For free!''

''l'll waste you for free!''

What a line, Vinz!

l got it the first time.

Tell your brother to come see me!

What a killer put-down!

''l'll waste you for free!''

Shut up and gimme the joint.

- A killer line!

- Killer.

''l'd waste you for free.''

Can't do better than that!

Why you so uptight?

Mothafucka!

Bastards wrecked everything!

Check that!

l don't believe it!

How'd they get the car in?

The doorway's too narrow.

Chill, Sayid! There he is.

He must be pissed off.

Took him two years to get this gym!

Your dope's good, Vinz.

Not mine. lt's Hubert's.

Don't bogart, Sayid.

Thought you quit smoking?

Me too.

What happened here?

Guess.

A fire?

You win the prize, Einstein!

Kiss mine, cousin!

l knew it'd go up

in smoke one day.

So why'd you bust ass to get it?

'Cause he wanted to, dickface!

You're the dick.

You know who did it?

l don't want to know.

How'd the car get in here?

The doorway's not big enough.

We dissed them, spit on them!

But the cops didn't move an inch.

Then the mothers stepped aside

to make a path...

Then these plainclothes pigs

came out with wooden clubs.

They hit a homeboy,

like real bad!

Kept clubbing him

till we tore into 'em.

l kicked a pig right in the head!

That's a Yamaha.

More like your Mom on a Harley!

lt's Mohammed's bike.

He fixed the exhaust.

No, it's Vinz's Mom on a Yamaha!

Which Mohammed?

Farida's brother?

Farida with the driver's licence?

No, Farida from the supermarket.

Anyway, it was a scene.

You should've been there Hubert.

lt was intense.

Tear gas, 2 nights in a cop shop,

all the fists you can eat,

getting hell at home:

sorry cousin, but l ain't buyin'!

Gimme a break! lt was war

against the pigs, in living color!

l was trying to make some cash.

Your bogus riot f***ed it up!

When a brother goes down,

l stand up!

What brother?

Do l know the guy?

l won't take hits for

a homeboy gangsta l don't know.

Let's go.

l mean it!

Abdel's no gangsta.

OK, but l'm not faster

than a speeding bullet!

Hey, hands off the hot dogs!

Gimme one.

And go broke?

Don't make us cry!

l'll make you cry, Sayid!

Everyone pays the same!

Except Hubert, it's his building.

A buck?

A buck for one, OK two!

You're a drag!

You should try one.

- Got a buck?

- Yeah, for me!

Here.

No way, l'll remember this!

- So remember.

- Never forget.

Don't be a jerk. l'll pay later.

How? With your sister?

Don't talk that way about her!

Chill out, you bogus Arab!

Sayid!

Come back with that!

Got any change?

We're broke!

- 2 bits.

- We're broke.

...The judge says l go to jail,

or do jobs for the City.

Community service? The pits!

Ever do it? Jail's bad enough!

You'd rather do time?

Your bro stole a dog!

- Liar!

- His mouth is full!

Put it on my tab.

Liar! Your nose is growing!

l'll bust your nose, Sayid!

Beat it!

A .45!

Like the gun in ''Lethal Weapon.''

We saw that movie together!

lt was a 9mm. Glock!

- What?

- No, it wasn't!

That was a Desert Eagle.

He shot at the truck!

That wasn't ''Lethal Weapon''!

What are you talking about?

A cop lost his handgun

during the riot.

That's a good one!

l don't know the pig

who lost his piece.

But l'd like to know

who found it!

No joke!

...l'll sleep, eat, lift weights.

Everyone's been inside, except me.

A month for theft

is pathetic!

Not in your league!

- What league? l was never inside!

- You got nabbed.

l quit in time!

Come look!

We got visitors.

Over here!

lt's the mayor!

Up Your Honor, Mr. Mayor!

Mothafucka!

Cut the stereo!

Who's in charge here?

You, Nordeen?

What's going on here?

Think you're in Disneyland?

You're not allowed up here.

You gotta go down.

We're causing no trouble.

Still, you've got

to get off the roof.

We like it up here.

Off the roof.

You learn that sh*t at Notre Dame?

Cut it out! Quiet everyone!

- l'll handle this!

- Forget it!

You can't stay here!

So fold your little tents,

grab your chairs...

and let's all go downstairs

nice and easy.

OK!

Who's gonna make us leave?

Your goons or you,

in your little uniform?

Nordeen, we're doing our job.
