New Jack City Page #3

Nino's trying to purchase a conscience.

I ain't buying this Robin Hood bullshit.

Oh sh*t, that's the kid I shot!

Why don't you lose weight? You look

like a boiled yam wearing a belt!

What's up, baby? Glad to see

somebody cares about the needy.

Why don't you give me a turkey?

Look at your funky black ass.

First you want to be a stick-up kid.

But then you got shot.

Now you's a basehead.

You're messed up. Your life is crap.

I know I look like stir-fried sh*t.

Hook me up with some food.

There's a line. You got to wait.

Give this man something to eat.

Hook me up.

This all I get?

You want more?

I'm a veteran.

Here. How's that, all right?

Clean yourself up,

maybe I'll give you a job.

All right, man.

Want to buy a turkey?

I'm going to keep an eye on him.

You don't deserve that turkey.

I hooked you up for that last get-high.

Why I got to be owing you?

I was prom queen of King High School.

This is beneath me.

You were the prom queen.

Now you're the prom fiend.

Look at you.

Hey what?

Didn't I hook you up?

Didn't I walk those 6 blocks...

...to get that pipe from that Iranian

who tried to beat me out of $5?

Didn't I speak to your mother after

the b*tch called me a homeless bastard?

Add all that up...

...and the fact that I'm a man who can

beat your ass, I say it's my turkey.

Get away! Get the f*** away!

Stop beating on her! Stop it!

Let go of me, man.

You chump! Beat her up over a turkey.

You're a poor excuse for a brother.

Sh*t, man! F***! Sh*t!

It's a cop! It's a cop!

Shut up!

Shut up or I'll blow your brains out.

Don't hurt me.

- Shut up!

- I know I was wrong to beat that girl.

Crack has got me.

I got no control over it.

I tried to kick...

...but the sh*t be calling me.

It be calling me. I got to go to it.

- I need help, man.

- Come on, man.

- We got a crack monster.

- Your mother's a monster.

- Hold him.

- What you writing?

"Pookie" Benny Robinson. Your name.

- I'm trying to help you.

- You ain't helping nobody!

- It's for your own good.

- F*** you, man!

They'll hook you up.

I'm going to die!

They're going to help you.

They'll help you.

I had pretty much

everything I ever wanted.

Everything I thought I wanted.

I always had a need for acceptance.

All my friends were doing it.

Thought I could quit anytime.

That's when I woke up in the hospital.

It's a very simple program.

We only ask that you don't use

or drink one day at a time.

Don't leave before the miracle happens.

This program has revolving doors.

But just because you go out,

don't mean you can come back in.

It's crazy, because...

...I did everything. I whored.

I ripped my family off.

I was so scandalous,

I would even sell my baby's Pampers.

I have a crack baby.

He was born blind.

I know why he's blind.

Everybody knows why he's blind.

I kept telling myself I was

going to kick, but I never did.

I'm a junkie.

I'll be one the rest of my life.

It's the first time

I've ever been away for so long...

...and personally, I hope I never see

you motherfuckers again.

When I get out, I'll just take

everything one day at a time.

One day at a time.

Chill out. You been out two minutes

and already you want a job.

It's not just a job. You saved my life.

Let me pay you back.

Let me help you bring Nino down.

He promised me a job.

I'll take his money...

...and report to you.

I don't know.

You know what will happen

if I stay on the streets.

I need to be a part of something.

If you don't believe in me, who will?

Cool. You've been inside,

checked out the operations.

All right, Pookie.

Parks, come help me out.

Tell me what goes on in this dump.

It took me a while,

but I've been through the whole joint.

First, at the entrance, you got to

show a membership card to this runner.

It's like a video club.

Nino's got it hooked up

like Mission:
Lmpossible.

Walking through that courtyard's

like a nightmare.

It's a nation full of zombies.

You're escorted to the 2nd floor where

a worker rings a buzzer and a code.

A little panel on the wall opens up,

you get the crack.

The code, the buzzer where that go?

The call goes to the "Drug Store"

where they make the crack.

I heard they got everybody in there

butt naked. Titties hanging...

Nino don't trust a motherf***er.

Nino's one sick genius.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

What happens at the Drug Store?

After that, you can take your goodies

home or stay at the Enterprise.

What's the Enterprise?

What am I, your ghetto tour guide?

They got all this equipment

and you don't know sh*t.

When you're smoking crack, they say

that you're "beaming up to Scotty. "

You're going to another world.

Crack is the final frontier. That's why

they call that room the Enterprise.

People sit down and light that

glass dick and take a hit.

That's some scary sh*t. Their eyes look

like a rocket ready to blast off.

Nino has most of the apartments?

Man, are you deaf, or what?

The boy controls the whole place.

Nino Brown's a mad scientist.

What did Marvin say? "The boy that

made slaves out of men"? That's Nino.

That's deep.

Happy New Year!

Welcome to the Spotlite

with the Flavor Flav.

Everybody say "Happy...

...New Year!"

The fruit of our hard work.

The belief in the

entrepreneurial spirit.

The new American Dream.

A toast.

A toast to my family, in life...

...until death.

Happy New Year.

To CMB. On and on.

- Am I my brother's keeper?

- Yes, I am!

Am I my brother's keeper?

Am I my brother's keeper?

I am!

Look at it.

A big reason for this success is you.

But this ain't about success.

This is about survival.

We ain't going out like Puss Head,

shot up over a $ 10 bag. You know?

You got to be smarter than that.

We got to look out for one another.

I feel the same way.

Nothing and no one

will come between you and me.

Never.

Right?

I love you.

I love you too.

Let's go get busy.

Frank Needles out here.

Let him in.

My ace-boon-coon!

How you doing?

Happy New Year.

What's a matter...

...too rich to toast the New Year

with an old friend now?

If it isn't the thinking man's Rocky.

How are you doing?

Great. Love the hair.

The Don and I, we was thinking,

let's let bygones be bygones, all right?

We congratulate you on your new success,

and as a show of our good faith...

...a gift from the Don.

Open it.

To the moolanyan in charge.

All the best, babe.

You motherfucking creep!

Think you'll get away with that?

I just did.

Step the f*** off, Gigantor.

Now get their silly, spaghetti-eating

asses out of my office.

Frank, come on. Let's go.

Let's get out of here!

It's total slamboyancy

in the Spotlite tonight.

You're about to get rocked by some

cool, mellow fellows from Brooklyn.

I'm talking about Aaron, Damien,

Teddy, Slim, Guy.

Give it up.

Slim, give a little bit of bass.

This is the sound

That get harder and get down

Everyone must know

We've been here before

And we're going to give you more
