Don't talk back

W... What... What'd I do?

You got that slap

'cause you with him.

- And I know you're part of

whatever badness he's into.

- Mama, enough.

You got some explainin'

to do in the morning, Mr Gentleman.

Now you think on that.

Why do you keep on

smackin' me, Mama?

Okay.

- Shh.

- No, go ahead. Go ahead.

- Okay.

- Oh.

Okay, now you come here.

Come here.

Mama didn't have to

smack me three times.

Hey, there, boy. Hey, what

Huh? What's up?

Oh, honey, we woke you.

Now look, don't worry.

Give Daddy a kiss. Come on.

Don't worry. I ain't gonna let nothin'

happen to y'all. You know that, right?

- What happened to your face?

- No, I'm cool, little man.

Hey, you do your homework?

- Yes, sir.

- I said, did you do your homework?

- Hmm? Hmm?

- Y... Yes, sir.

- What about you, little miss?

Did you do all your homework?

- I don't have any homework.

You don't have no homework? All right,

time to go back to bed. Let's go.

Hut-two-three-four

Make a right at the right door

Make your choice 'cause you got

to grow up to be successful

- I hope this isn't

an inconvenience for you.

- Not at all.

You seem like a nice man. Terrance

can use a few of those in his life.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Thanks.

Hey.

You know, I never noticed before,

but you got really nice eyes.

- Shut up!

- But you do.

Let's get this over with.

I can't believe it. I'm committing

armed robbery for two flashlights.

Hey, don't worry about it.

Let's go.

Freeze, motherf***er!

You move your ass so much

as an inch, I'll blow it off!

- You hear me, motherf***er?

- Hey.

- You hear me? What?

- Why you acting so mean?

- Hey, look, man. Now ain't

the f***in' time, all right?

- You say scary sh*t, it scares 'em.

- Yeah, but you have a gun.

Plus, what you're doing

is a stereotypical robber thing.

I mean, it's a lot scarier

if someone with a gun is calm

and cool and collected, man.

- That's bullshit, man. Don't...

- Here.

Excuse me, sir. Come here.

Come here. Come here.

Now, look, Henry...

we're gonna take

some things outta here...

and you're just gonna

stand there.

- You got a problem with that?

- No.

Good.

Now, honestly, which one

did you think was scarier?

- Honestly?

- Mm-hmm.

He was scarier.

Really? You didn't fnd

what he did contrived?

- No. It was scary.

- Well, what part?

Well, the, uh, "Freeze, motherf***er"

part was scary.

And then he led me to believe

that if I moved my ass...

it, it might be blown off.

- You were scary too.

- Oh, come on. You're just saying that.

You don't have to lie.

No, I'm not. I thought

you were very scary.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Well, thank you, Henry.

- Yo, check it out.

They're flashlights

with A.M. /F.M. Radio on it.

They all that.

You can listen to

your music while the light's on, boy.

All right, all right!

Come on. Come on.

Freeze, sucker-b*tch!

That was much better.

Thank you, Henry.

Nobody messes with Nick Beam.
