Oh, yeah.
You get a job.
Or get on welfare
or Social Security
or disability or food stamps
or, um...
The purpose
of this evaluation is to see
what kinda services
you're eligible for.
You know... psychiatric,
substance abuse...
...whatever or what not.
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
Are you alright?
Uh, you're here because
so I can help you out,

How I can take care of you.
I'm sorry, one second.
Let me just take care
of this sh*t.
Sorry.
Sh*t.
Boyfriend troubles.

Have a nice day...
Have a nice day?
You have a f***ed up day!
You ain't got no right
to talk to me this way.
I live here!
I live here like everybody
else does.
You ain't got no right to say
this thing to me.
Treat me the way you do.
Act like I'm gonna rat
on my boys here.
These men are my brothers.
You don't know that sh*t?
You don't live here with us,
that's why.
If you know what to say,
you don't know sh*t.
Don't matter what you say to me.
You don't know sh*t.
You got to learn to act, man!
You hear me?
Take care, Mr. Turner.
You got your nerve, man.
You got your goddamn nerve.
You give me some cigarette,
you think I'm gonna rat on people.
These are my people.
These are my brothers.
You sit up there, try to be like
the grand master
of this here place.
You ain't sh*t, Mike.
What do you want?
Hmm?
Do you want something?
Ah, you're the new guy.
Dixon Turner. Attorney at law.
I don't have anything.
I want to represent you.
I don't know what you want from me?
I'm just kidding.
I'm a jazz man.
You know, I'm a musician.
I play, I play good too.
Yeah. Yeah. Where you going?
I'm go... I'm going.
Oh, I'll walk with you. Come on.
Come on, I'll walk with you.
Done much walking
since you been reduced?
Hmm?
I'm not reduced.
Yeah, you reduced. Refined. Relocated.
Remitted. I don't know what that means.
Replaced.
I'm not reduced.
Whatever they call homelessness,
that's what you are.
I'm not homeless either.
Yeah, you're homeless.
What... what number are we?
Hmm? What number we got?
Listen, listen, George,
you got any children?
I got 2 sons...
...so they tell me.
Army, marines.
Good boys. Good boys.
And I got a daughter
uh, though she didn't make it.
Human Im... Immuno...
Immuno...
You know, HIV...
...took her.
Baby didn't stand a chance.
And I got another daughter.
Uh, they say between
1975 and 1976.
But you know how it is
being a musician on the road
makin' music.
White powder.
Cocaine, heroin.
Ended up right where
but here I am.
Here I am.
So, hey, hey, listen to this.
Well, do you know
that every, um, human male...
That's a man, like you and me.
...makes enough sperm
in 2 weeks to impregnate
every ovulating woman
on this planet?
That's a fact, man.
I heard it once
from this, uh, doctor
I was hanging out with
on the... on the streets.
He... he was a meth head.
You know, tweaker.
Hmm.
did these, uh, tests
uh, tuberculosis tests
at the Harlem Hospital.
You know,
he let them inject him...
...for McDonald coupons.
Can you believe that?
But he... he...
he... he dead now.
So I don't see him anymore.
He was killed by this,
uh, transvestite
he was seein' on and off.
More often on, if you know
what I'm talkin' about.
A real doctor with a real MD
until he lost his license.
He was a... a brain...
brain man.
Every 2 weeks.
Every fertile female
on the planet.
You know, the only thing I...
is have myself a Coca Cola.
Coca Cola is my only...
Yeah.
Sometimes, Pepsi.
Hey, you know what, I... I...
You know... you know
who it is, don't you?
Bill Evans, jazz man.
I played for him once
uh, about 10 blocks from here.
He said, I played okay.
Can you believe that?
That's like Michelangelo sayin',
he sayin'
he admires your...
your paint job on the ceilin'.
I played okay.
Bill Evans.
Sh*t.
Damn, we're gonna
be here all day.
you are a citizen
of the United States?
What? No, uh,
not on my person.
I don't have it, no.
No, I'm sorry.
It's okay. Look, can you
get it and come back?
I don't know where it is.
Alright, what's your
social security number?
Okay, okay, uh...
930...
No.
05...
Sir, that's not right.
I think.
930?
9, no.
93005...
It's not correct...
The first digit can't be 9, sir.
093?
Oh, boy.
I think.
I... 093?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I can't.
I can't remember. I have a hard
time with... with numbers.
I... I have rem... remembering
problems sometimes...
That's okay.
It's okay, it's okay.
We need some documentation,
anyway.
You must get a new
social security card.
Where do I get that?
$3000 per person per month
per person
staying in the shelter.
I say,
Mr. Commissioner of Housing
Mr. Housing Commissioner
give me $800 rent,
and you can spend the rest
on p*ssy for all I care.
Get you a lot of p*ssy
with that kind of money.
Give me a little bit
of self-respect.
That's what I want.
That's all I want.
A place I can call my own.
Give me a nice place.
Give me some bleach.
I'll clean it up.
I'll clean up real neat,
and respectable-like.
Have some of my musician
friends over there.
Get us some jazz.
A shower?
I... I know this lady
up in the Bronx.
Opens her apartment up,
and you can take a shower
but then, it's gonna cost you.
The shelter's free.
The choice is yours.
Would you rather go up there,
or the shelter?
You hear?
I'm done.
Done?
That dude missed curfew.
You miss curfew, you're f***ed.
They make you sit out
in hallways.
They give your bed away
to somebody else.
Empty your locker.
It's your locker,
so you can lock it up.
But here's the thing,
you come back the next night
they make you sit in the hallway
till after midnight
then maybe, just maybe,
you get a bed.
They call that packing up,
if you know what I mean.
Packin' up.
It takes you seven days to get
your... get your locker back.
And now some of the case
workers, they really care.
They're good people, they're
trying to get us housing
but there's no housing
out there to be had
so they become desensitized.
Too many of us, you know.
Too many of us.
Think about it for a moment
from a taxpayer's point of view.
We get a mattress,
a bed, a locker.
Uh, shampoo, toothpaste.
It ain't right.
It ain't a square deal.
We didn't earn it.
It's a handout, not a hand-up.
Turner, leave that man alone.
Oh, sh*t.
He bothering you?
No, not at all.
He said no, not at all.
Go back to bed
and stop hanging out down here.
Go back to bed?
You need to kiss my ass.
Go back to bed.
Treat me like some
goddamned child.
You... you... you...
you watch yourself.
Go back to your bed.
Hey.
Hey.
He bothering you?
