off that horse, he won't

last throughout the night.

And the Brandon,

look at him.

He's sitting over there

like he about to burst.

In a minute, his gut gonna

burst wide open.

Listen to you,

Miss health conscious.

Michelle's starting to

wear off on you?

No. Your body is a temple.

You got to follow the body.

God will destroy.

Read your Bible.

Listen to Claire, the preacher.

Girl!

Claire, look at that

woman over there.

Why is she staring at you?

Girl, I don't know.

She must have heard you

talking about old man Wilson.

You know this is flame, girl.

She better send that

heat somewhere else.

She don't want me to

catch her case up in here.

Praise the Lord.

Praise ye the Lord!

Lift up your hands in

his house today

to God's praise!

Hallelujah!

So you got all your classes yet?

Yeah, got my books too.

Good. Uh, there's my girl.

- Hey, Julia!

- Hi, Tammy.

How are you girl?

Have you got all

your classes in yet?

Yes. Got it all

taken care of.

Oh, this is my roommate, Julia.

Julia, this is Michelle.

Hi! Nice to meet you!

I think I saw you registering

for my French class.

Yeah, it's a requirement

for my major.

See, I've been trying to get

Tammy to take it for

the past two years, but

she wants to stick to Spanish.

F*** French, okay?

You know, Edward likes it

when you say his name in French.

F*** Edward too.

All right, ladies, I gotta go.

Michelle, do you wanna

get together and

study some time?

Yeah, let's do that.

Sounds good.

Get my number from Tammy.

All right. Cool.

- See you later.

- Bye.

She seems cool.

Yeah, she is.

Except for that witch stuff

she be tossing around.

- Witch stuff?

- Yeah.

Hey, you guys, whats up?

- Hey!

- What took you so long?

What's the matter?

You missed me, baby?

- Yeah, something like that.

- Something like that?

Michelle, this is Keela,

Renfro and Edward.

So, you guys go here too?

Keela does. Me and Edward

just come down here every once

in a while to chill.

You know, check on the girls.

Where you trying to

go with that? You know

I'm not your girl.

Not after last night.

I wouldn't have your ass anyway.

You know you've been

trying to get on, since

the moment you met me.

- B*tch, please!

- B*tch?

- Yes!

- - Hold up!

Is this how you all

introduce yourselves?

Baby, you know they all

got no sense.

No sense of change.

Who you saying got no sense?

Lock boy.

Yeah. Edward gonna be

a locksmith,

just like his daddy.

Is that right.

Yeah, I can get in

and out of anything.

Oh, I know.

Boy, please!

In and out.

Keela, go check yourself.

Yes, Keela. Check yourself.

You better check yourself.

Your breath smelling

like a bag of asses.

Oh!

Well, you better check

with the doctor 'cause

I heard some rumors about you.

Yeah.

Renfro, you ain't nothing

but a scrub.

Anyways...

Michelle was just telling me

about her brand new crib

she got all to herself...

What?

So I figured we'd go

check it out if that's

okay with you.

Yeah, let's go.

Own pad.

Keely, ride with us.

Renfro, Edward.

Renfro, Edward.

Really? Really then?

Girl's like that?

Cheers!

Damn, Michelle, you really

got it going on up in here.

Don't she, y'all?

You got it goin'.

Yeah.

Yeah, nice crib yo!

Thanks.

I think it's pretty nice.

I'm just saying.

Own crib, rent free, furniture.

If life put me here,

I'm trying to get like you.

Hey!

It's kinda big though,

isn't it?

Takes a li'l getting used to.

And you stay here by yourself?

Mmm-hmm.

Well, just me and the li'l lady

that comes and knocks on my door

every now and then.

Old lady?

Yeah.

There's this weird lady

that keeps coming around.

She's like creepy,

creepy looking.

Creepiest woman

I've ever seen, like,

big black eyes like

clammy, clammy skin,

hair's all muddy and knotted.

Honestly, she scares

the sh*t out of me.

Yes, I'm scared.

Well, from the looks

of this house,

she probably was a ghost.

I know, right?

No. Don't play it like that.

I highly doubt it.

My aunt said that

she might be

a homeless person.

And she probably used to

sleep outside the door

or something,

and now that I moved in here,

she has nowhere to go.

Kick her out.

It seems like it's

set up like a duplex.

Don't somebody stay

down the hall?

Uh-huh. This guy named Lifton.

He just moved in a week ago.

I asked him about the lady too.

He said he hasn't seen her.

- Is he a brother?

- Mmm-hmm.

Okay.

What? You wanna pick and

see what he got?

- Shut up, Keela. Shut up.

- Be nice. Be nice.

Hey, so Michelle,

was this lady walking?

Or was she floating?

Ooh!

You never know.

You never know.

When you move into a new place,

my grandma always said

when you move into a new house,

you should always anoint

the walls with blessed oil.

Hallelujah.

Protect yourself from the demons

that maybe are here.

Here we go with

the grandparent's

tall tales again.

No.

This one time when I

used to live in this house,

every night at a certain time,

we'd always hear

this weird noise

in the basement.

Never knew where

it was coming from.

Until my mom went down

anointed the walls...

It stopped.

Keela, stop lying.

You know them your pet wood rats.

Yeah, and they were

calling your name.

"Renfro, Renfro."

Y'all stupid, man.

Wait a minute though.

Haven't you all ever heard that

if wild birds fly into your home

that means someone

gonna die in your family.

Yeah, but you believe that?

I've never heard of that.

Yes, I do.

Sh*t, it happened to me.

I mean, one day we were

all at the house,

watching TV with

the windows open.

Some stupid old birds

must have flew in,

so my dad started

going crazy trying

to wave them out,

scare 'em out.

Next thing I know, my mom

and my aunt start crying

and I didn't know

what was going on.

Supposedly they

said I was gonna

lose someone in the family,

You know, I didn't believe it.

Next thing I know,

a week later, my grandma died.

Oh, man. I bet everybody was

waiting around for a week

saying "Well, it wasn't me."

"Anybody dead yet?"

I'm celebrating.

That's just not funny.

I'm just playin', baby.

I'm just playin'.

You know when you get

goosebumps for no reason?

Just out of the blue.

No draft. No wind.

That's a spirit passing by.

Hey, no sh*t.

Happened to me before.

No, not to you, Renfro.

It happened when

you saw yourself in the mirror.

Have you all ever just been

laying there and felt like

you couldn't get up?

Yeah.

Girl, that's the spirit

holding you down.

It's the weirdest

f***ing feeling though,

isn't it?

- Yeah.

- Mmm-hmm.

How about this?

So you just been sitting there,

talking with someone, right?

And then snap!

All of a sudden you feel like

you've been at the same place,

same exact time.

That's a vision.

You're re-living a moment

in the past, y'all.

Come on, you guys.

Like seriously?

People fall victims to

their illusions and

exaggerated imaginations

all the time

because they're not

set in reality.

So they just like listen to
