Somebody do something!

We'd like to welcome

all arriving passengers to Atlanta,

We are so glad

to have you here, DJ.

You're in Atlanta, we'll get you

a Hawks jersey or something.

Honey, nobody watches the Hawks.

That's your uncle's way

of saying welcome to Georgia.

You'll get used to the humidity.

You must be so excited

to start school.

Or nervous.

But don't be. You'll do just fine.

You know that's where

l met your uncle.

You guys went to Truth?

l did. Your uncle was working there.

Come on, let me show you

up to your room. This way.

That's your bathroom over there,

and this is your room.

lf you get tired of campus food,

you're more than welcome...

...to spend your weekends

here with us, anytime.

You know,

whatever makes you comfortable.

Thanks.

DJ, l didn't get a chance to tell you

at the funeral...

...but you know we loved him.

l know how close you two were.

l gotta run and show a house...

...so when l get back,

l'll make us all some dinner.

Okay?

Honey, go ahead

and help yourself to some apple pie.

l know it's your favorite.

No, no, thanks.

You know l had to call in a favor

to get you into this school.

-Don't make me look bad.

-Nate.

-No, that's cool. l'm listening.

-Good.

Because the rules are very simple.

There's three things

you have to deal with.

First, you must keep your grades up

at all times.

Second, l'm in charge

of your work study program...

...but you'll not be

treated differently...

...nor will you behave any different

than my other 26 employees.

-And third?

-lf there's a strike three, you out.

Period.

DJ?

What the hell is going on, man?

l'm not gonna sit out here and act

like l wanna be here when l don't.

This whole college boy thing

is not for me, man.

You're the only thing

your mama's got left.

There's no way l'm gonna let you

put my sister through any more pain.

So you better make this college thing

work out. Can you appreciate that?

Get your black ungrateful ass

in the goddamn truck.

What'd l say, man? Get in the truck!

At least you don't have a problem

with waking up early.

Looks like you're just in time

for registration.

Next.

Yo, yo, hold my spot real quick.

-This is my spot, thanks.

-Excuse me?

-There was a girl saving my space.

-Nice try.

You have to wait in line

like everybody else.

You saw me

behind the sister with the fro.

Next.

Now, one of you come up

to the counter.

I'm just saying it's a little early

to tell, Mom, That's all,

No, I'm not saying I hate it,

l'm not quitting. l promised you l'd try.

That's my word.

l love you too.

Okay. Bye.

All right.

There are only a select few things

of mine that are absolutely off-limits.

My toothbrush, my toothpaste,

my shaving cream, and my condoms.

Magnums, of course.

You know about the gold packs?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Other than that, playboy,

anything else of mine...

...you're welcome to. Rich Brown.

-DJ.

-Nice to meet you, sir.

The Deltas

are having a little barbecue.

-l've got some juice, l can get you in.

-l gotta work.

-Classes ain't started yet.

-l got a job.

Okay, l feel you. Which--?

Never mind.

All right, bro. ln that case, l'll holler.

Yes.

Come in.

Don't just stand there, man.

Sit down.

ls this your office?

Awfully nice digs for somebody

who cuts grass.

No, l don't cut grass.

But you do.

You ever wonder

where them trains be going?

They probably be going to Japan

or something.

-Japan?

-Oh, yeah, they can't cross water.

You going to college?

Don't say that when you get there.

l'm just playing with you, man.

The key to success in going to school,

what you do, you get a group of girls...

...you get them

to do your homework.

When they do your homework,

you get A 's,

-How's it going, man?

-l'm still standing.

Get in, man.

l'll give you a ride back.

Come on. Come on.

Pass the ball. Pass the ball.

Yeah, baby. Go deep. Go long.

They're getting the

very same education as you...

...so don't pay them any mind.

Oh, check it out.

Oh, that's old news, brother.

l've been there and done that.
