Matthew 18 Page #6
whatever people say,
about the things in order
to justify what they
themselves cannot explain.
I mean, I'm saying,
if you did your research,
that you're telling me,
I'm pretty sure
there's a perfectly logical
explanation for it.
I mean it just takes
some research and common sense.
Nobody got common sense.
Listen, true story.
Straight up. Yeah, I know.
All right. Once I was walking
down a dark alley, right?
All of a sudden,
I start to hear some noise.
I looked around
and I see this huge dude,
who had to be like 6'6".
You know exactly what
I'm talking about.
- And you were scared.
- Hell, yeah, I was scared.
I know you were.
So anyway, I look,
there was a shadow
and then it just disappeared.
Hm.
I looked again...
Oh dude, you is about
to get jacked.
That's exactly
what I was thinking.
You know I know
when somebody's
gonna jack me, right?
No, no, no.
Are busted in the boobies.
That's what was about
to happen, yeah.
Mm hm.
Keela, go check it out.
Yeah, go ahead.
You're the manliest
among all of us.
I'll check it out.
It's your place.
You go check it out.
Damn. Y'all better call 911.
- Surprise!
Ha ha ha! Very funny!
- It's okay.
- Very funny.
Got ya, girl.
What the hell are
you doing here?
Oh. I'm coming by to
check on things.
And apparently it's a good idea
that I did because
you've had guests.
The drinking kind.
Now I've told you,
I maintain this place
and I will have no one person...
Look, Miss Hillsham...
The name is Mrs Hillshire.
Whatever. We're gonna get
I beg your pardon.
No. I'm about to beg for yours.
I do not appreciate you
coming into my apartment
and snooping around.
Or are you sending any of
to do it for you?
You know, this is...
No. I'm not done.
I'm not done.
Nor will I have you
dictating to me
what or who or
what kind of friends
I will be having in here.
Miss Hillsham, you need
to understand, I am grown, okay?
I am grown.
And I am here on my own.
My parents, they're in D.C.
I am here because
of my decisions. Me. Okay?
And I did not fly all the way
out here to be dictated to
by you or anyone else.
We got that clear?
Hey, Michelle, have you
figured out the syntax structure
for the words...
Look at all this homework.
Oh, my God.
How are we gonna do this?
Freshman.
Hey, you're pre-med.
You can handle it, right?
Whatever.
Don't worry.
You'll get used to it.
Homework on the brain.
You never get used to that.
Funny.
So anyways, how do you
like Minneapolis so far?
Hm. It's nice. I like it.
- It's cold.
- Yeah.
But I guess you have to
get used to that, right?
Like sh*t.
And...
It also has its weirdos.
Up here.
Weirdos?
Yeah, weirdos.
Like, for example,
I was putting up
you could see this doorway
which was open.
So once I put it up, like,
you could see this lady
just standing there.
Like just looking at me.
She looked like
a homeless person, but...
Not sure what she was
or what she was
doing here.
Homeless?
Or a spy from Ms Hillshire.
She's the caretaker
of this place.
And she takes care of it
with her life.
She's so strange.
You know, I can't imagine
there being any homeless
There's a beautiful golf course
like five or six blocks
from here.
And, I mean,
they wouldn't let any
homeless people
hang around there.
I mean, these houses,
have you seen them around here?
They're super nice.
These people have got money.
And they probably have
all the time.
You're right.
So it's probably just a creepy,
nosy neighbor or something.
Or a spy from Ms Hillshire.
You know a lot about properties.
My dad's a real estate investor.
If I remember correctly,
he once told me
there was mad scramble
for property on this area.
Around the Great Depression
or something like that.
- Scramble?
- Yeah, mad scramble.
Mad scramble.
Yeah. Because of the demand,
I mean,
prices like shot way
the hell up or something
and people started
networking and
taking sides to get in.
Building contractors to
investment bankers all the way
down to factory workers.
He said it was crazy.
Yeah. I can only imagine.
Before the calm,
comes the storm.
See it's so peaceful
around here,
Okay, you trying to
creep me out?
No, I'm just interpreting
what it says here in French.
Well, interpret something else,
okay, b*tch?
Just kidding.
Michelle, are you okay?
I dunno. There's too much
like creepy drama
going around here.
Wats's so creepy about
an old nosy neighbor?
Okay, nosy neighbor or not,
she was scary looking.
She was smelly,
like smelt like dead.
She looked like dead.
Like her eyes
were crazy unnatural.
- It was... Yes.
- Unnatural.
It was really creepy.
I don't know.
I can't describe it.
It's just...
I dunno, just like...
It was like she was
Like she couldn't even see me.
She been back since?
No.
See then, it's that
li'l imagination of yours
running wild again.
She hasn't been back since.
Everybody that I tell
this story to,
says the same thing.
I swear, everybody is starting
to sound like me,
and I've become like this
spiritual and ghost person.
Okay, listen,
I know this lady,
and she's like into
ancient witchery and all that.
Okay, see,
I'm gonna stop you right there
because I'm not gonna do that.
Okay, well...
I'm not gonna call
your witch lady, Julie.
Okay. In case your creepy,
you know, neighbors and stuff
come back, that's the number.
No, thank you.
But I appreciate it,
I love you still.
You know, Tammy and them
are going out tonight.
You should just go kick it.
Hey, what's up, man?
How you doing?
- How are you guys?
- Hello!
