Yeah, but a lot of people have jobs and

have drugs on the side and stuff like that.

And they be doing stuff that

they ain't supposed to be doing.

No, no, no.

That's all in the past.

Mm-hmm.

[ Clears Throat ] I don't know.

Can I count it?

We'll see.

$200 is what you owe me, right?

Yes.

So this is 300.

I know.

So what's that for?

That's for you.

- What is that?

- That's my phone.

Oh, okay.

All right.

I just want to take

a picture of you.

Well, you know I don't

take a good picture.

So... whatever's there,

you get.

Just throw one at me.

'Cause that's it.

Can I see what it look like?

[ Woman Muttering In Next Room ]

'Cause you know I can't

take a good picture.

[ Woman ] That's what

I feel... stupid.

Mmm.

[ Muttering Continues ]

Okay. All right.

But my head look like it's all bloated.

[ Chuckles ]

Look at my head. That's where I get it from.

When people tell me...

I got a big head, I'll know

what it look like on a picture.

[ Laughs ] I got a big head.

I got a big head. That's where I get it from.

That's 'cause you're a guy.

You're not selling drugs anymore?

I don't touch that.

I stay away from it.

You know, it's easier to get... to get into

that stuff, but it's hard to get out.

There's always somebody willing

to pull you back in there.

Yeah. There's always somebody

willing to pull you back.

Uh-huh.

You right about that.

[ Woman Mutters ]

But I'm out, Ma.

All right.

I promise you.

[ Woman Arguing, Indistinct ]

Be quiet for a minute.

[ Arguing Continues ]

You know, if they don't leave, I'm

gonna put my foot up this b*tch's ass.

[ Chuckles ] I swear I'm

gonna have to hurt her.

Her husband came in

last night saying... Oh, man.

Your aunt is really ridiculous.

Pretty eventful life, don't you think?

Your aunt is really ridiculous.

She keeps going on and on

and on about nothing.

About nothing.

[ Abu ] You know, I've been thinking

it's time to go back home...

get out of the city.

In a way I wish I could...

move back home,

'cause I have to live

with all this.

New York City is definitely

not... Live with all this.

It's definitely not

the right place.

You know, you're doing... With the

stuff you're doing and whatnot...

and you say you're gonna straighten

up your life a little bit...

But you're still my kid,

you know.

You're still my son, regardless

of whatever happen, you know?

I'll...

I will always love you.

You can't just have a child

and-and forget about it.

You love it regardless of what it do, but

you can always turn your back a little bit.

You know. Distance yourself

from that child...

until they decide

to straighten up.

I guess I just had

to learn by myself.

You have to learn from your

mistake. Not by yourself.

You have to learn

from your mistake, you know?

You make a mistake,

you learn from it.

You learn from it.

So...

I'm just saying I'm sorry.

Okay.

All right?

You know,

I'm still angry at you.

I know. I didn't say everything

was gonna be perfect.

Well, it ain't gonna

never be perfect.

It will never be perfect again.

But we can work on that.

Yeah.

We can work on that.

[ Elevator Bell Dings ]

Yeah, man. Remember Ace?

Uh-huh. Yeah. The boy

got locked up again.

What's new?

[ Scoffs ]

Whew! I'm gonna

take my hat off.

Corporate America, huh? Life

is good, huh, good brother?

Yeah, life is definitely good, man.

Sheesh.

Why do you think I left?

Where's your desk at?

Right here.

[ Drawer Slides Open ]

That's what I'm talking about.

Probably lookin' too hard.

Think I'm gonna come back... try and

get a job in here. Nah, you good.

[ Sighs ] You don't have to.

It's all right.

Told you I'll take care

of you, right? Yeah?

We good? Yeah, yeah, we good.

Just about.

Yo. Appreciate it, man.

Keith Miller

Keith Ross Miller, (28 November 1919 – 11 October 2004) was an Australian test cricketer and a Royal Australian Air Force pilot during World War II. Miller is widely regarded as Australia's greatest ever all-rounder. Because of his ability, irreverent manner and good looks he was a crowd favourite. English journalist Ian Wooldridge called Miller "the golden boy" of cricket, leading to his being nicknamed "Nugget". He "was more than a cricketer ... he embodied the idea that there was more to life than cricket".A member of the record-breaking Invincibles, at the time of his retirement from Test cricket in 1956, Miller had the best statistics of any all-rounder in cricket history. He often batted high in the order, sometimes as high as number three. He was a powerful striker of the ball, and one straight six that he hit at the Sydney Cricket Ground was still rising when it hit the upper deck of the grandstand. Miller was famous for varying his bowling to bemuse batsmen: he made sparing use of slower deliveries and would often adjust his run-up, surprisingly bowling his fastest deliveries from a short run. He was also a fine fielder and an especially acrobatic catcher in the slips.Away from cricket, Miller was also a successful Australian rules footballer. He played for St Kilda and was selected to represent the Victorian state team. He played 50 games for St Kilda, for whom he kicked eight goals in one game against North Melbourne, during 1941.Miller's personality – love of the contest, rather than victory, and his larger-than-life rebelliousness and carousing – helped both shape and limit his cricketing career, as he espoused the opposite of the more puritanical values of Donald Bradman, his captain and later national selector. Neville Cardus referred to Miller as "the Australian in excelsis"; Daily Mail sportswriter Ian Wooldridge's response was "By God he was right". This status was reflected when Miller was made one of the ten inaugural members of the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame. more…
