-I been trying to reach out to him.

Everybody's talking about your beef.

Forget that. I'm talking

about your Oscar hookup.

-ls he gonna be down with us?

-He ain't into battles no more.

Man, he's into the pureness of the art.

He's all spiritual and whatnot.

If there's anything we can do

to get him, holler.

I'm about to go shoot some hoops.

You wanna come?

No, I'll catch up with y'all later.

-For sure.

-All right, man.

Come on, Saint.

-Your boy is really tripping.

-Did you tell him I called?

Yes, but he bugs out

every time I say your name.

We been boys for too long

for it to end like this.

Please don't tell him I told you...

...but El's in trouble.

When the guys jumped him,

they took Emerald's stuff.

I thought it happened

before Emerald's.

-Can you please talk to Emerald?

-Talk?

There ain't no talking to that man.

I gotta help El get this money.

And I was supposed to be with him

that night.

-Liyah, what you doing here?

-Hey, you tripping!

-I'm tired--

-Don't disrespect me!

-You disrespect me by putting your--

-Go home!

-What's wrong with you?

-You lost your mind!

We were trying to figure out how

to help you.

And you come in here and pull this?

Move.

Liyah!

Here you go.

Here you go.

You know what they say.

Hot chocolate make the pain go away.

-Who says that?

-Me.

Anything's that hot and chocolate, girl,

you know you can't go wrong.

I can't believe Elgin

put his hands on you.

I would have took my shoe off

and did damage.

-Things are so messed up.

-You think?

There ain't no thinking about it, girl,

you in love.

I mean, David is not like these

other Joes you been kicking it with.

And Beautifull is here

to keep it real with you.

This is that Mary J. Blige, real love.

Remember?

I was like this with my boo.

-You call all of your men boo.

-Russell-boo?

Remember? He was my first love.

Then there was Toby-boo

and now Lamar. He's my boobie-boo.

But what I'm saying is, I know

what real love looks like. Okay?

And you in love, child.

And you know what?

You can stay here

as long as you need to.

You know you my girl

and that I got you.

-Thanks, B.

-You're welcome.

Now, I'm gonna get my makeup kit...

...and we gonna have a girls' night,

have some fun.

-I'm gonna get your money soon.

-Shush.

I'm just glad you're alive,

thank the Lord.

-I can't believe--

-Grandma. Hi.

Hey, if it ain't my future doctor.

How's school?

Oh, I could have done better

on my exams, but I had a lot going on.

You always make me proud.

I'm worried about you

and your brother.

What's this your mama tells me

about you not speaking?

Look here. Whatever's going on,

I want it to stop right now.

Do you understand? Start talking.

-He hit me.

-No, I didn't!

Have you lost your mind?

You never put your hand

on any woman.

-She better stay away from David.

-I'm gonna see him.

Do it and see what I do to him.

Wait, you know what?

You win, okay?

So I won't see him.

-You happy?

-For sure.

I hate you.

Liyah, baby.

Sit your ass down.

Now, you leave that girl alone.

I'm not telling you

you can't protect your sister.

But if she's making a mistake, you got

to let her so she can learn from it.

Do you understand?

I asked you a question.

Elgin Barrett Eugene Smith lll.

Do you hear me?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay, then.

I gotta get going.

Come on and walk an old woman

out to her car.

My feet feel so swollen

it's like walking on water.

Bye, baby.

I heard you got a beat-down.

Yeah, I got jacked.

Look, I was gonna call you

soon as I got your money.

I didn't want to disturb you until then.

I called you 1 0 times...

...and you don't return my call?

-No. I mean, yeah, I was going--

-Now you want to talk?

I didn't tell you to talk!

I'll talk. You listen!

I don't know where you're gonna get

the money from to pay me back.

But I do know you'll make a valiant

effort in that regard. Am I right?

Now you talk.

Right.

I could work it off.

Your days as a courier

for me are over.

How do I know you didn't set this up

yourself to get my money?

-Look, I didn't even know--

-Hey, I don't trust nobody!

In my eyes, you're guilty

until proven innocent.

I want my money.

You'll get your money.

Now, that's what I wanna hear.

I'll even let you tell me when you can

get me my money.

Six months?

I usually say 24 hours.

But since your partner called me

and begged me...

...to leave you in one piece...

...I'm gonna give you a few weeks.

Don't play me, El.

You do...

...you'll never walk...

...Iet alone dance, again.

Now, excuse yourself.

Yo, D!

Marty, work with them.

What's up, man?

Your new crew's wack!

Where did you get them?

-Why you busting my crew out, man?

-Go sit down.

Hey, Ric, man, you taking

this loyalty thing a little too far.

I mean, if you got down with me

and Marty, El won't care. I need you.

We'll be up against another crew

in a few days.

We'll be up against another crew

in a few days.

Wanna make some money?

I'm always down to make money,

but I can't.

I saw El the other day.

He got a new crew too.

-Word?

-Yeah, and I'll tell you like I told him.

It just don't feel right.

You and El is like Shaq and ~Kobe.

Together y'all do damage.

It ain't the same

when one's not in the game.

Look, y'all both my boys, but if I can't

never get the old crew back...

...me and Saint just might have

to do our own thing.

The way El's acting...

...I don't think we

ever gonna be cool.

Look, man, let me get back.

All right?

Yo, Saint, let's roll.

You and me.

Right now. Look, look.

That ain't even cool, man.

It don't matter.

Let's bounce.

Yo, D.

-What's up, Ric?

-What's up, player?

Chilling. That jersey's tight.

Where'd you get that?

Rico got it for me.

-Rico take good care of you, don't he?

-Yep.

Watch out, man.

I ain't gonna have much more

of you swinging.

-lf you hadn't left him out in the cold--

-I didn't. This between me and my boy.

-He ain't your boy.

-Chill, Vick.

-Why you trying to start?

-What you wanna do?

-Yeah, what you wanna do?

-Hold up. This ain't going down.

Y'all mad at the wrong people.

Y'all need to throw that hate

towards Wade and them.

All I'm saying is, you need to find

the love again, because this...

...it ain't right.

-Come on, Saint. We out.

-Yeah, we out.

-What's up, Ric?

-The Big Bounce...

...that's what's up.

Check this out. Read this.

Fifty thousand dollars?

Yes, man. Enough money

to change our lives.

Look, a chance to be

in a music video.

I'm talking putting some kids

on the map.

-And getting paid.

-Yes, man, it's ours.

Tailor-made for us, El.

I been praying

for something like this.

I owe Emerald a lot of money, man.

And this could be my only way

to pay him back.

And I could pay

my grandmama back.

Man, I gotta win.

Yeah, we can win.

-But you gotta get David in--

-Ain't no David, man.

Think Wade's crew gonna get in?

You know it. They already saying

the Big Bounce is theirs.

No, not this time.
