One of your little b*tch-ass homies

called the police.

So we up outta here.

You take the car.

Just do it, nigga.

Kinda hard to keep you G,

when you're not like me

Not, not, not like me

Good evening, gentlemen.

Can I offer you a beverage?

This is a residential neighborhood.

Do you know what that means?

Yes, sir. We got our consent forms

filled out by our neighbors

from both sides of the street.

I have them right here

if you'd like to see them.

I get one complaint,

I'm shutting you down.

5-O.

Oh, sh*t.

So I can expect to see you

back at home at 2400?

- Yes, sir.

- Me, too.

Carry on.

Good night, Officer.

Charlie here tells us

you're the real deal,

from the hood?

Didn't your brother get shot?

No, no, no, no, no.

No offense, bro, but use that.

Keep it real, see?

Write about niggas like me

shooting each other?

Niggas like you, yeah, yeah,

but you know, give it some flash.

Gangsta that sh*t up.

Or sexy that sh*t.

That sells, too.

Hey, look, bro,

we don't make the rules,

but you want to sell CD5, right?

See, you're living it,

so it's probably not fresh to you.

Probably not.

You ain't never been east

of Crenshaw, huh?

Hell, no.

- But I know what sells.

- He does.

- Finklestein?

- Yeah.

You Jewish, right?

All day long, son.

Matzo Balls, that's what they call me.

That's what he calls me.

Somebody told you to write a rap

about your people dying in the Holocaust,

but gangster it up,

would you do it?

Uh... huh?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Dude, man, look at her,

right, man?

Why am I so afraid, man?

Dude, should I do

the yo' mama jokes?

Not a good idea, no.

Later, later, okay?

You're stoned.

Dude, no.

I want to prove...

I believe you, man.

Dude, relax.

Dude, I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna do it.

Que? Que.

I ain't afraid of yo' mama.

Oh, sh*t. No. I mean...

the joke, no.

Let me do that for you.

What the f***, man?

Yo, so we've got to give the D.J. 250.

And my mom said keep

a $500 cleaning deposit.

What the hell, man? Why didn't you

tell me that sh*t sooner?

After security,

lighting and refreshments,

all I get is a stinking

400 and change.

Dude, it is not my fault that your

cheap-ass dad won't get you a car.

- Hey, don't talk about...

- Do not bring that sh*t to me.

Yo, you greedy niggas

need to get back up there.

Que is about to get beat down

by Shauniqua and Paco.

Oh, and Cheyenne's leaving.

Damn, can't even

get my money together.

Play Paco's cut.

This one is,

when you're a Latin lover,

put on Latin lockdown by your girl,

and you're sleeping in the car.

Hey, she rolled her eyes

I seen this look on her face

a dozen times

What's wrong with you?

Why the bad mood?

She just rolled her shoulders,

then she said

I need to know

what's on your mind

Been givin' me blank stares

Just to walk inside

Please not tonight

Hey, you gonna sing for us or what?

We're about to leave.

Oh, you didn't know

it's customary to dance

with the host before you leave?

I'll meet you at the bar.

I don't do all that grinding stuff,

though, so, um...

We'll keep it PG.

Thank you.

I'm trying to figure this out

Why I can't sleep on the couch

You find me sleeping in the car

Sleeping, sleeping in my car

Yeah, I'm sleeping

in the car tonight

So, I told Stunner that I wouldn't

be going to the prom with him.

Ah, so we got a deal.

No sex,

no friends with benefits.

Of course not.

- Just the prom.

- Mm-hmm.

0K3'! -

We have a deal.

I knew you would make

the right choice.

What the hell is in that?

I didn't want you to know

I couldn't let you see

I hid it from myself

Tried to believe

More than the beginning

more than the end

More than just a friend

Man, dude,

Shauniqua freakin' hates me.

We all hate you.

Dude, like, just,

you got to help me out.

Like, give me the chick intel.

Come on.

Flowers are clich,

but they usually work.

Yeah, flowers are good.

Okay, so we're here.

Wait, wait, are you sure

you're up for this, man?

Come on, man. It'll be fun.

All right, man.

Okay, so here's the deal.

They sign the release form,

you give them the $5.00.

If they don't sign, we can't use them

in the documentary.

Got it. Sign, $5.00, interview.

- Yeah.

- Cool, all right, let's go.

You guys aren't coming with me.

We sit here in the safety zone till you're

for sure getting an interview.

Just signal when it's safe.

Uh, that is so... you too?

You bitching out on me?

That's dirty.

I hope y'all know that's dirty.

Hey.

Holy sh*t, this is like electric

eye-candy on crack, bro.

I know, man.

- Oh, my God.

- We came to see our boy hablo Hobo.

Did we miss anything?

Yo, I don't think so, but this sh*t is

looking like House of the Dead 2.

You can catch eyeball herpes

just looking at Homeskillet over there.

Ooh, now that's messed up.

Hey, you guys know what they say

about dating homeless women, right?

- What?

- What?

You can leave them anywhere.

Shut up. What if you two

ended up homeless?

- Probably not gonna happen.

- Yeah, you two.

You guys are very karmically

insensitive, you know.

Oh, my gosh, Obama,

we are tragically flawed.

Thank you for pointing that out.

All right, bro, get started.

Hey, put this one on Facebook.

- All right, let's do it.

- Let's get it.

Going in. I'm going in!

He's gonna get

shanked out there, man.

Are you interested

in doing an interview for $5.00?

Hell, no, I won't do no interview.

Are you interested

in doing an interview...

' Ah!

- Oh!

- Dude, run!

Go for the knees, man.

They don't drink a lot of milk.

Are you interested

in doing an interview for $5.00?

- Are you interested...

- You can't give money to poor people!

If you give money to poor people,

they make more poor people.

Give them consciousness.

So, do you feel your life

has been a success?

Absolutely.

I don't pay rent,

I have no teeth to clean,

and I got a front-row seat

on Armageddon.

The end of man-unkind.

Mom got sick. I had to drop out

to take care of her.

Then they foreclosed on our house, and...

we were on the street for six days

before they took us in at the shelter.

Um, part of the program

is that you do volunteer work here.

So what are your goals for now?

I just want to be a student again,

you know?

Like you 9UY5-

Finish school,

take dance class again.

Normal stuff.

I miss dancing.

Can I have one of those?

Get out of here, little kid. Didn't your

mama tell you it wasn't polite to beg?

- What the hell?

- You're a dick, dude.

Well, we wish you

the best of luck, and everything.

Yeah, really.

Thank you for talking to us.

Thanks.

Can I be in your movie?

I'm sorry, sweetie,

you have to be older than 18.

My grandma will do it.

She needs the money.

We came out here from Atlanta

after my oldest boy was killed.

My second son's

been in and out of prison,

so I tell my youngest boy,

"You stay in school.

You don't be like them."

Barack here is my grandson.

He's a very smart boy.

If you could do it over again,
