There he is. That's

what I want to see, baby.

What's up, man?

- Are you ready?

- I'm ready.

Just bring the people. I'll dance, alright.

- I need you on your A-game.

- Alright, I'll bring the show.

- Hi.

- One second. Could we just... time out.

- Just get a crowd on me, alright?

- Yes.

- Yo, Donny. First bus of the day.

- All right.

Ladies and gentlemen, please,

please come this way.

Step this way.

Please come closer. I got something special

for y'all and his name is Donny Bray.

What he does with his feet has

never been seen on Bourbon Street.

And he's going to show

you the real N'Awlins.

I think they're ready, let's go!

I taught him everything he knows!

Nice catch!

Yeah. Come on, come on.

Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

All right. All right let's go. Show's over!

That's it. Show's over!

Move it on. Let's go.

Hey.

What's wrong? What'd I do?

You're not supposed to be

within a hundred feet of a bar

or hang around with the criminal element.

That's a condition of your parole

and you know it.

Oh, come on, man, this is New Orleans.

There's a bar every 20 feet.

Ladies, please don't-

Why are you hassling me?

Because you don't listen.

I told you when you got out you have to

have a job or you're in violation.

Dancing is my job, okay. It's what I do.

And how do I know that this is legit.

You got a work slip?

You got a W-2 you can show me?

This is bullshit. You want me back in jail.

You're not as dumb as you look.

You know, kid, you answer to me

for the next 6 months.

And I'm telling you now,

you're done with this.

You got it... or do we have a problem?

No problem.

Good. Let's move it.

Do we have a problem? Give me a break.

That PO keeps busting my chops,

I'm going to have a swing at him one day.

This place looks hot.

What, Static?

Yeah, it is hot, man.

Number 1 underground club in New York.

You know, my brother started

that place with his partner, Kaz.

That's him.

Right. I see the family resemblance.

We're foster brothers, obviously.

You know, they're hiring dancers

up there at the moment.

- Is that right?

- Yeah. Paying pretty good, too.

What are you doing?

They're not going to let me dance

here, hell, I'm going to Brooklyn.

You have 6 more months of parole.

You can't leave the State.

Hell, you can't even get in a club.

Don't worry. I got a plan.

Listen, if my parole officer calls,

just tell him I'm working the pipeline

between Shreveport and Baton Rouge,

okay?

Are you nuts?

Just make sure you call me.

I'll call him right back.

I'll fly back in for my check-ins.

In fact, I'll be making

so much money dancing

for Nick, I'll fly

back first class.

This is crazy.

If your foster bro finds out

you skipped parole he's sending you back.

Well, he doesn't need to know that, does he?

Hey. Yo, D, have a good time.

Alright, man. I'll see you guys later.

- Hey, you still owe me 50 bucks.

- Cheque's in the mail.

Brooklyn nobody nobody

No, nobody does it like Brooklyn

Something's going off on the outer edge of

exciting exciting Brooklyn

Nobody nobody

No, nobody does it like Brooklyn

Something's going off on the outer edge of

exciting

...it's a city by itself. BK home of the

best if nothing else. Her influence is felt

Thoughts have gone global.

Once was all local.

Young Street hustle has crossed

the young motto... the young...

Nobody nobody

No, nobody does it like Brooklyn

Something's going off on the outer edge...

So I asked,

knelt right there by the pews and said,

"Girl, do you need a prayer?

'Cause I would definitely put hands on you. "

Nick, you said that to her in church?

Choir practice, 6th Grade.

Her name was Tiffany.

We gave the Book of Psalms a remix.

Wow.

I don't know how you do it, man.

You know my lines always come out wrong.

Cause you got to commit to it.

You got to own it.

- What's your best line?

- Man, I ain't giving you sh*t.

- Come on, man, what's your best line?

- My best line?

All right, my best line.

Science Class, 10th Grade.

I looked at this chick and I said,

"Baby, your lab bench or mine?"

- Really? Man,

- I knew it.

- That's your best line?

- Come on, man.

How long has it been anyway

since you last seen your little bro?

2 years, man. 2 years too long.

Me and him used to get into some sh*t.

Yeah, Nick here.

What do you mean they're back?

I'm close. No, I'm close, I'll handle it.

I said I'll handle it.

Who is it?

Guess?

Sorry.

That's okay.

Shuffle heel toe. Toe heel step.

Shuffle heel toe.

Yeah.

Keep it going!

- You okay?

- Yeah.

I told you to stay out of my neighbourhood.

Consider us your eviction notice.

Get the drums.

No! What are you doing?

Whoa! Easy there, Hello Kitty.

Does it look like I'm into all

that "Crouching Tiger"?

You're disgusting.

Yeah.

Well, you just get your ass out of here.

Tell your brother

I won't be so easy on you next time.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Who dat?!

- Hey, Nick, what's up?

- What's up, dude.

- What's this on your face?

- You got peach fuzz now? Shut up, man.

Oh look at you, Dukes of Hazzard,

where'd you get this?

Oh, you got jokes. I got it where I got it.

- Thought you finished puberty.

- You got jokes.

Why were you so late?

- I had some business to handle.

- Yeah, business?

Yeah. Glad you finally called, baby brother.

Well, you know, I been kind of busy.

How's it feel to be back in the free world?

Man, I'm not going through

all that ever again.

Had this parole officer

on my case once a week.

Couldn't step foot in a club, a bar.

And I couldn't do anything.

No, I'm not going back to that.

So you're a law-abiding citizen now?

Good for you.

I always knew you were tone deaf.

I didn't say that.

...playing with the monsters in the mind

Now hold it up... hold it up...

Long ways out there, don't you think?

Keeps its mystery that way.

One-way street out there. Yeah, you

mean it avoids regular cop patrols.

Knew you'd fit right in.

Welcome to Static.

Standing room only 5 nights a week.

Nice.

- Yo, Nick, did you get your brother?

- Yes, sir.

- D, Raphael.

- Hey, man.

- Don't even.

- I didn't say anything

This place used to be a factory.

They built ship motors, you believe that?
