Waist Deep Page #4

Good morning, L.A.

It is your girl Yo-Yo,

and today is the day that

we will be covering the city-wide protest live,

where residents from over

a dozen South Los Angeles communities

will be taking to the streets.

We are downtown, where the battle cry

"Save Our Streets" will ring out

not only here,

but throughout the city.

Meet me today at Leimert Park.

Excuse me.

May I help you?

I'm just coming to put something

in my safety deposit box.

Sign in there, please.

B*tch, what you looking at?

All right.

What's your box number?

I'll be right back.

I'm gonna need to

get this check cashed.

I gotta get my moneys,

you know.

-May I see your ID?

-Yep.

What the hell you talking about,

you ain't gonna cash my check?

Oh, you gonna cash my sh*t!

-I want to talk to the manager.

-Excuse me.

I wanna talk to the goddamn manager

right now!

-Excuse me.

-Excuse me!

I got this.

Can you show this gentleman

-back to the safe deposit area?

-Now!

-She don't wanna cash my check.

-Follow me, please.

What's the matter with my check, huh?

May I ask you to keep your voice down?

No, you can't ask me to keep

my motherfucking voice down,

because they're getting

their cashier's check.

-They're getting their cashier's check.

-Let me help you help me.

No, I can't help you help me

because she ain't helping me!

Do you know your box number,

Mr. Pennibaker?

Absolutely.

What is it?

-Did you say 4773?

-Yeah.

-But 4773 belongs to...

-Is what?

-Open the box.

-Okay.

Hurry up!

Put the key in there.

Do I look like

I give a f*** what quiet is?

I don't give a f***!

Everybody's getting their check cashed.

What's your social security number,

please?

Why I can't get

my check cashed, huh?

-Test question, what's your pet's name?

-What?

Don't f*** with me. Don't f*** with me,

motherf***er, you gonna piss me off.

Have you ever cashed

a check here before?

-Look. Oh, you tripping.

-Do you have a password?

I will slap a ho in here

and I'm not talking about her.

Now you are gonna cash my check!

Cash my check!

I'm sorry, but she can't

shop at Chanel, but I can.

Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am.

Ma'am. Ma'am.

Sorry, you work

at the bank, okay? Sorry.

What? I want

my million dollars!

This is a sweepstakes offer.

It's not a real check.

Well then f*** you all,

'cause this is a bullshit bank anyways.

What the f*** you looking at?

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

Anybody move, I'm gonna blow the weave

off this b*tch's head!

No!

A cunning couple robbed

the America's First Savings

and Loan this morning.

The female member

of the duo...

A second bank

was hit today in South LA.

A masked man entered

the Bank of the People branch

on Western Avenue

and held a woman at gunpoint

while emptying an unknown amount

from the bank's safe deposit box.

We're up to $45,000 apiece.

So I guess we gotta figure

out a way to get rid of this.

No more drugs!

This is our neighborhood.

Come on!

Speak.

-What's going on, man?

-Hey, where you at, man?

Around.

Can y'all please get the f***

out the way? Damn!

Problem?

All these "We Shall Overcome"

motherfuckers marching,

holding up traffic and sh*t.

Hey, look here, playboy.

I heard you out here,

all scraping up some serious paper.

I'm thinking you should let me

get in on that, man.

No, man. Stakes are too high.

But I need you to put me in touch with

somebody, get rid of these diamonds.

Well, I can unload that.

No, no, no. No way.

You gonna punk out on me, man?

What, I ain't good enough or something,

now that you're going around

with your little breezy?

You gonna get money with her

before you get money

with your own people?

Every time I've ever asked you

to do something, you drop the ball.

Look, man,

this here is for Junior, and I gotta do

what I gotta do for the little man.

Can't do it.

O, family.

Listen. If you f*** this up...

I won't. I won't. I'm gonna find out

where to unload the sh*t,

and it's all good.

Now look here, man. You need to get

the f*** up off these streets, man.

You way too hot.

When I find something

I'm gonna holler back at you

and then I'll come

meet you where you at.

-All right?

-All right.

-All right. I'm gone.

-Go on.

He want us to wait right here.

Save our streets!

Y'all need to get out the streets.

That's how you save the streets.

Before it's too late,

save our streets!

We have

a right to our streets.

We are being gunned down.

We have a right to...

I say, nigga, pull over!

What the f***'s

wrong with y'all?

Say what? Pull the f*** over, man.

Pull over.

F***, you ain't doing sh*t. Sh*t!

Come on, pull over.

Move. Move!

Hey, what you all...

-Pull over, nigga!

-This ain't no game, man.

-What the f***, nigga?

-Pull this raggedy motherf***er over!

Right now!

Mildred Thompson

was a friend of mine.

And now I struggle to find the words

to tell my son...

-Get out!

-...what happened to his friend.

He hears on the news

about the war on terror

while we're being terrorized

right here in our streets.

He hears about the vast amount of money

being spent on homeland security,

but this neighborhood is our homeland,

and where is our security?

-Get your hands off of me, fool!

-Shut your ass up.

Shut the f*** up. Shut up.

You dodging me, nigga?

-Ain't nobody dodging you.

-You don't answer my page.

You must be running

the Outlaws now.

There you go with that sh*t.

I gave you weight to sell,

not to get high with.

Where's my money, nigga?

Man, my baby mama

been tripping, man.

She gonna take me

to court, right? So I have...

I don't give a f*** about your baby mama

or none of that horseshit!

I want my money tomorrow.

Tomorrow, n*gger.

We have to take back our neighborhood

and save our streets!

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

Save our streets!

We're coming to you live from Leimert Park,

where the Mayor will be up next,

addressing the crowd

of several thousand people.

Police have confirmed

that a string of gang-operated businesses

have been robbed.

And it appears

these robberies have

further fanned the flames

of a raging turf war

between two of L.A.'s

most notorious kingpins.

Details of the robberies

are unknown at this time.

Be so glad when

this sh*t is over with.

God willing, you'll have

Junior by tonight.

What you all gonna

do afterwards?

I know I need to get

my son out of here.

I'm done with this bullshit.

How about you?

Don't really have any plans.

Just a fantasy.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

When I used to live

in all those different homes

I used to take travel magazines and

I'd cut all the pictures out,

and I would fantasize

that I was there.

And everybody used to think I was crazy,
