Hey, you know that I know.

he wants to spend it on me.

I understand.

A little money is good.

Oh, these are real cute.

-Looking all Grecian and sh*t.

-Brand new, girl.

-I'll give you a good price on that.

-It's my size, too.

You know, the girls done ran

all through here already.

F***!

-Open the safe.

-What the f*** is going on, man?

-What the f*** is this, man?

-Open the safe.

Shut up. Get your ass down.

You know whose money

you're f***ing with?

Yeah. Tell him P-Money came

to collect his rent.

Tell P-Money that Big Meat,

he gonna bury that ass.

Shut the f*** up

and open the safe!

I just love these shoes.

I just feel like once I've been in them

for a couple hours, though,

I'm gonna feel like

I wanna kill myself.

Sometimes you

gotta suffer, girl.

I mean, you know what they say,

"Beauty is pain."

What do you think

about this dress?

We'll take it.

As a matter of fact,

we'll take all this sh*t.

Damn, nigga.

You know who you're f***ing with?

You know what? Somebody else asked me

the same question earlier.

What? We hit P-Money's spot

and make him think it's Meat.

Then we hit Meat's spot

and make him think it's P-Money.

They start going at it, we run up

out of there with all their sh*t.

I told you,

I've got you, girl.

Yeah?

It's Double Dutch.

Mookie cousin.

All right.

I told you I'm cold

-Yo.

-Sh*t!

When Mookie getting out?

He out about, like,

two more years.

Damn!

Just let me get a deuce.

All right. But you gonna have to wait

till after I finish this game.

Yeah, well,

No, it's broke.

-Use the one upstairs.

-She can't go up there.

Let the b*tch use the bathroom.

It's Mookie's cousin.

Go ahead.

Sh*t! See what you made me do?

You distracted me,

motherf***er.

Too bad. You've got

three more lives. Don't trip.

This sh*t is real, I mean it.

Who's all down there?

It's about six of them.

Three little niggas and three hood rats.

Do something then, homey.

You about to get sliced.

-F***ing dagger in your back.

-I'm supposed to get shot.

No, homey, I got the knife out right now,

so I'm gonna take that to your throat.

Nigga, don't bring a knife

to a gunfight, my...

Don't even try it!

Payback from Big Meat.

Like, "She was fine. Let her go upstairs.

That's Mookie's cousin."

Now look at us, stupid.

Can't wait till I tell

P-Money about this sh*t.

Oh, sh*t.

Look, look, look,

look, look, look.

Oh, sh*t!

-We gotta get up out of here.

-What the f*** is this?

There's way too many

police around here.

Damn.

This sh*t's like

a whole another world.

Why? You ain't never been

to the Sunset Strip?

Nope. Never had

no reason to come.

You wasn't at least

curious about this?

I grew up in the foster system.

I used to dream

that someone from Hollywood

would come one day and

they'd rescue me and all that sh*t,

but no one ever came.

F*** it, then. By that time I was, like,

"I don't care. I don't need Hollywood."

Sh*t. I'm gonna find something better

than this anyways.

-Yeah, right.

-Yeah, okay.

What, you wish you were a world traveler

'cause you done been to the pen and back?

Sh*t is crazy up here, man.

Damn. Some nice houses.

Yeah, what up, man?

About time you answered your phone.

-Where you at?

-Busy.

You getting money?

Yeah, something like that.

Sh*t. You better, man.

You gonna have it by tomorrow?

I don't know, man. We'll see.

I'm out here trying to do what I can.

And these streets

ain't no joke, dawg.

Look here. Just give me a holler

if you need something, man.

I'm out here

doing my thing, so...

Hey, Lucky, let me

call you right back, boy.

Did you see that?

The limo? Yeah, there's a lot

of rich folks up here...

No, he looked like

he was leaving town.

-So?

-So we need us a spot we can lay low in.

Can't keep driving around with all this

jewelry and money in the car.

Yeah, but how do you know

there's not still family

back up in that house?

Because if somebody

was in the house,

they'd have came out

to kiss him goodbye or something.

I think I can disarm it.

How do you know?

Because I used to do security.

Was that before

or after you went to jail?

After.

And now you're breaking

into folks' homes.

-Man.

-Sh*t.

Green. Got it.

Oh, sh*t.

What?

I think I cut the wrong cable.

-I'm gonna go start the car.

-Wait, hold on!

I got it.

I got it.

Come on.

Hey. What are you doing?

Wait right here, okay?

Come on.

Damn!

Goddamn.

Excuse the mess.

I let my maid go home.

I could really get used to

some sh*t like this.

Let's count this money.

Sh*t.

Damn. Must have set off the alarm.

Where are you going?

I got this.

Just watch this, wait.

Go.

-Hello.

-Mrs. Bennett?

No, I'm sorry.

There is no Mrs. Bennett.

Oh, sorry. I forgot about the alarm.

Bad habit.

Do you know

the security code, ma'am?

Yes, I do.

-It's 9...

-No, don't tell us.

Could you activate and then deactivate

the alarm for us, please?

Sure.

Having a little trouble,

sister?

I'm so bad at these electronic things.

He's always getting mad at me for it.

Mind if we step in

for a moment?

Ray, check the back.

Mr. Bennett is in Paris

for a couple days.

Exactly what is your relationship

with Mr. Bennett?

I'm his assistant.

I'm gonna be housesitting

while he's gone.

You know, it makes me feel really safe

that the cops respond so quickly.

I'm gonna be here alone for a couple days,

and I get kind of nervous.

And so, if I see anything

that maybe seems

suspicious

or anything like that,

or if I just feel like

maybe I need some help,

would it be all right

if I called you?

Can I call you personally?

All clear.

I'll meet you outside

in a minute.

Any time.

Thank you.

Any time.

O2!

O2.

What happened?

Well, they gone.

Let's count this money.

Let's count it.

Thirty six thousand

four hundred, five hundred,

six hundred.

That ain't nowhere

near enough for Junior.

Look at these keys. Look.

A-F-S-L.

Wait, this is

a safe deposit box key, right?

America's First Savings and Loan?

Right? What else could that stand for?

What does that say?

B-O-T-P. Bank of the People.

This is from... This must mean

Crenshaw Savings and Loan.
