- Hey man you gonna

try to tell me

that you lighter than me?

Ain't no way in the world

that you gonna be lighter,

man look at the knuckles man,

look at this stuff there.

Your fingernails turn purple.

- Hey man I really don't

have much to say because

I don't think God put that

breath in your breath.

- See man, okay, you

can look at, hey though,

hey though, hey man.

Hey look over here and look

at this here stuff man.

- Hey man, I don't

This is gonna be a

mean son of a bitch.

(muttering)

- Hey Banks.

Look at man, look at

Look at the hands

than this dude here man

and he gonna tell me

he lighter than me.

Look at this here stuff man.

- What difference does it make?

- Hey man, knock that shit off!

Hey man knock that shit off!

Let's talk about how

to make some money!

Anybody got any ideas?

- I have some ideas.

Why not turn to robbing?

There're little kids

out there doing it

and we're smarter than they are.

- I can't rob an old lady.

- I'm not talking

about old ladies,

I'm talking about

banks and gas stations.

Shit there's one on

every damn corner.

- Well if I didn't have a

family that might be

alright.

- That's why you should

wanna do it, to feed 'em.

- I don't wanna do nothin'

that's gonna separate

me from them.

See I don't feel I'm no loser.

I feel that basically all

I got to do is look hard

at my situation and

just try and figure out

what's going wrong.

But I must believe

in God 'cause I feel

that all this is just a test.

See I feel that there comes

a point in a man's life

where he has to make

a decision between

the spiritual and the material.

We always choose the material.

- [Man] I feel

like both of them.

- But, let me finish this now

by saying that I believe

through a little faith

we will mount.

- Shooting at something sounds

fine, I'll get us some guns

and we can go out and shoot

at some rabbits and game.

- Man are you crazy?

Man do you know how

far you'd have to drive

to kill a rabbit?

- Did you eat something?

- Yeah I ate something alright.

- [Andais] Girl, don't tell me

you coming down

with the pink eye.

- I feel alright.

- [Andais] Is that little

boy your boyfriend?

- Which one?

- [Andais] You know the

one I'm talking about,

that little fat chubby one.

- Oh him.

- It's okay if you don't want me

in your business, one of

these days you're gonna

want my advice because

men ain't something

you just grow up to know about.

Although it's kinda cute

to be shy about it now.

I remember when I was your age

I used to watch my mama do

without something to eat

just so me and my brothers

and sisters can eat.

And I said when I got big I

was give her all she wanted

and I was gonna

righteously spoil her.

Then I got married and there

ain't been no promises kept.

Boy, put that stuff

back in that drawer!

Just get on these walls

'cause you know all these

little fingerprints ain't

mine and your daddy's.

Boy you can just

cut the clowning.

Can't expect too much.

Ronnie?

- Huh?

- Look in my jacket pocket

and bring me my cigarettes.

And look on that table in

there and get that ashtray.

- [Ronnie] Okay.

- I think the main thing is

you got to keep your chin up,

you know?

Keep that confidence

in yourself and know

that you're gonna

make everything okay.

- Boy didn't I tell you about

keeping your fingernails cut?

- Yeah.

- Angie?

- Huh?

- Baby find me them

fingernail clippers, will

you?

Well then why you insist

on wearing them long?

- I dunno.

- You know little boys

don't run around with their

fingernails long.

Little girls run around

with their fingernails long.

You ain't no little girl, right?

- No.

- I ain't gonna tell

you about this no more.

Stand up here.

Stand up here!

I'm gonna give you something

to cry about in a minute.

Little girls and little

sissies keep their nails

Are you a little girl?

- No.

- [Charlie] Are

you a little sissy?

- No.

- [Charlie] Goddamnit

I don't wanna see

these nails long anymore,

do you understand me?

- [Ronnie] Yes.

- Here baby, you can put

'em where you got 'em from.

Shouldn't be so

Matter of fact all y'all get

(gentle jazz music)

- I get any report that

- How come you never tell them?

- 'Cause they know how

You don't know how to go nowhere

and act like a little

boy should and ought to.

Got to always go around

acting like you're tough.

Y'all stay here and

So I went on did

Okay?

- Okay.

And a job is a hard

thing to find, baby.

A hard thing to find.

Hey bud, come here.

Look at you, turn around here.

Look at you you got

Where are your shoes?

- [Boy] That cowboy

farmer (mumbles).

- Uh huh, well where

That's what I wanna know.

Here, go get your

shoes, go get 'em.

- I know I'm good, girl.

I know Charlie got

hiself another woman.

But I'm gonna play

on his conscience.

I'm gonna make

him feel real bad.

Just like the dog that he is.

- Andais, listen.

I haven't had sex with

Bob in almost a year.

And I know that don't

make him less man.

You see?

I think I know that

bitch that he's screwing.

But I don't care 'cause

see I've gone and found me

a young man, you know,

fine, handsome young man.

And what's more if

Bob see us together,

I don't give a damn.

- You gonna wind up getting

yourself hurt, maybe killed.

You know they jealous

and they spy on you.

Take you on all

kind a head trips.

And you ain't seen no

hurtin' til you hurt

they little manhood.

Just wait til he calls you

old tired something or other.

- Well, I guess I just have

to wait until I get hurt.

I ain't got no choice.

I ain't got no sadness,

and that's what counts.

(gentle jazz music)

Hey y'all, where you going?

- [Man] Just took a watch.

- Now ain't that sweet.

- Gonna get married.

- Hold it now.

How you gonna get married?

You ain't got a pot to piss

in, you aint got no money.

- Well who needs money?

- Shit.

- Besides I got a job

at Ford Tire Company

starting tomorrow.

- Charlie?

- Hmm?

- I thought you made

more money than this.

- Um yeah baby, you know.

(clears throat)

I thought I told you.

We had a couple of days

last week when we went out

and we didn't find nothing.

You know, sometimes you

go out and you get lucky

and sometimes you don't.

You know?

Sometimes you get lucky

and sometimes you don't.

- I don't remember hearing

a thing about no bad luck.

I thought every time you

and Mr. Williams went out

you found work.

I know every time you

left here you come back in

with dirty clothes.

(clears throat)

You make 25 per day.

Five time 25 is 125.

You give me 75,

there's $50 somewhere.

That needs $50.

(bell dings)

Lord have mercy you

would think somebody

had hands in this

house except me.

Well everybody want

the lady to get it

when she come home.

Where in the hell have you been?

I mean y'all ain't

done a damn thing here.

Ronnie.

Ronald, boy cut that damn

television off and get in

here!

Kim you help her, get that

coat off and give her a hand.

Get this chair over there girl.

Angie move and put

that chair over there

so Kim can get in.

Everybody sit around on

they well-rested behinds

while I do all the work.

Get that broom boy

and quit playing.

Move, let me get that

broom through here.

Stand up here jiving, I

need the house cleaned.

Shoulda had it spic

and span by now.

For your silly ass daddy,

he gives less than a damn

if you all starve to death.

He ain't about to make no

kinda sacrifices for you.

We could all be dead as

far as he's concerned.

(crying)

- You know what?

I hate to keep bringing

this up, but...

My kids need a man

around the house.

- Mm hmm.

- And that oldest son of mine?

I can't beat him anymore.

He's too big for that.

- Well you know baby I got

three kids at home myself

and I can't even be to them

what I wanna be, you know?

I ain't working, that money I

make that ain't feeding them.

But you know Rose?

I thought that here I could

forget about all that.

I could just have a

little peace, baby.

'Cause I'm tired.

I'm so tired.

You know baby, I got a lot

of responsibilities right

now

that I can't even handle and

you're talking about you.

I can't help.

- So what are you

looking for, a freebie?

- What do you mean a freebie?

- Simple as that.

No freebie.

- Baby, you know I can

handle all the little

things.

Those are no problems.

The outside shit, the

niggers on the street

messing with you, the

pimps, the landlord,

I can handle all of that.

I'm talking about in here.

You know your kid's

too goddamn big

for me to be beating on.

And the first time

that I jump on that boy

you see I know what

side you gonna be on.

- You can't wipe your own ass

unless'n you think you

makin' a commitment.

- I can't handle

these boys in here

and I ain't bringing

no money in here.

Don't you know what that

young nigga gonna say to me?

- Then here if you can't do it

then get up and get out.

Get out.

(whistling)

- I'm trying to

understand, Charlie.

I mean I've tried to think

that maybe this whole mess

was my fault, you know?

Maybe I was responsible for

everything that's happening.

- [Charlie] What the hell

is wrong with everybody?

- They know everybody

Charlie, it's just me.

Where you comin' from, Charlie?

- Where I'm coming from?

I'm coming from out another

day of looking for a job!

I went down to the

thrift store today,

put in an application.

- No I mean just now,

where are you coming

from, Charlie?

- What do you mean

where I'm coming from?

- [Andais] Where'd you

just come from, just now?

- You don't ask me in the

morning where I'm going.

So what you doing ask me

where I'm coming from?

What do you mean?

- Charlie smell yourself

and standing here

before me and God tell

me where you coming from.

- Smell myself, what smell?

(sniffs)

Yeah I smell like I been

out looking for a job!

- No you don't, you smell

like some 10 cent perfume,

smell like Charlie!

Now look me in the eye and

tell me where you been!

Where you coming from right now!

- Oh I knew this was coming.

Where I'm coming from right now.

Went out, put in this

application at the Smiths

factory out there, I

stopped by and had a drink

- Do you mean to tell me

that you got the audacity

to stand here and tell me

that you been with a

friend and you come in here

smelling like that and

you been coming in here

smelling like this for

the last 60 to 90 days?

- [Charlie] I don't even

know what you talking about.

- You come in here

late just like you now,

you get into bed and you

turn your back to me?

- [Charlie] Get into

bed and turn my back--

- And you wanna know what's

wrong with everybody?

It ain't no everybody

honey, it's just me.

- [Charlie] What?

- It's just me that go to work,

it's just me that see to

everything in this house,

it's just me that

see to the kids.

- [Charlie] Oh

that's what it is.

- That's exactly

what it is, it's me!

It's me that do

without everything!

All the time.

- [Charlie] But baby, it's

not because I'm not trying.

- Trying to do what Charlie?

What do you trying to do?

What do you ever try to do?

When is the last

time you had a job?

- When is the last time I

brought some money in here?

I bring some money in here.

- [Andais] No you bring in

part of your money here,

you leave the rest 'cross town.

Now tell me you don't.

- Across town?

- 'Cross town.

The same friend that

you had a drink with

and the same friend

that you smell of.

- We're just good friends.

- [Andais] Charlie,

don't do this to me!

I mean don't try to make

me think that I'm crazy.

- Ain't nobody

telling you you crazy.

- [Andais] Just 'cause I

done work like a crazy person

everybody in the building

laughs at me when I go out--

- I don't--

- They done laugh at me

when I come back here.

- [Charlie] Ain't nobody

laughing at you baby.

- You's a lying ass!

Everybody knows about it!

- [Charlie] What they

laughing at you for?

- You and your friend!

And me working like a dog!

Me that never gets nothing

out of two weeks' paycheck,

what do I get?

I get me a little

fingernail polish,

a little dixie peach

to do my hair with.

That's all I get.

Everything go in the

kids or you or the house

or a bill collector or somebody,

anybody other than me.

Don't stand there

with your mouth open,

you look horrible.

- Yeah I'm a good time man.

You do all you can,

you do all you can,

you go out every day--

- Do all you can?

Go out--

- I can't make them

people give me no job!

I go out there every

day and I try Andais!

- Charlie, why don't you do it?

Don't try, do it!

After 10 years, do it!

- I can't make them

people give me no job.

- And kindly bring

your moneys in here

and feed your babies.

- Well that woman's

just a friend!

Alright if you wanna

talk about that.

That lady is just

a friend of mine.

Baby there ain't nothing

I don't love her.

- Oh man.

- There ain't nothing to it!

- Smell you and you tell

me what you don't love her,

no understanding baby.

- What you want

me to understand?

Charlie I have tried!

- That I try, that I try!

- Tryin' to do what?

Tell me when the last time

you had a job Charlie!

What do I do, I take

that and say well

my husband had a job?

Do I take it to

get kids some shoes

and say well my

husband had a job?

Do I go pay the landlord

and say well my husband

had a job?

- Baby, baby.

- Look.

- Listen.

- Don't don't don't don't

don't don't don't don't

don't touch me!

- Listen look at us.

Andais.

- Honey I ain't been

doing nothing but looking at us.

I been looking at

us from every angle,

I want you to look at us.

That's what I want you to do.

I want you to slow down

for about half a second

and you take a look at us.

'Cause I been looking.

- Well let me tell

you something--

- When you been out

dreaming your pipe dreams

I been lookin'.

- You see you got

no faith in me.

You do know it ain't

about what I ain't done!

- Just get your finger out--

- Don't tell me to get my

finger out your face goddamnit

And I mean it.

Don't you put your hands on me,

And it's time you started

acting like a man.

What you gotta do, come in

I hope that overgrown sons of

that woman kickin' your ass.

You go over there and play big

man where you're taking your

money, you don't

- Well do you want me to leave?

Goddamnit, do you

want me to leave?

Is that what you're

trying to ask me?

- I ain't trying

to ask you nothing,

that's what you want to do.

You wanna see me on welfare

just like that woman

that you got over there but

I'm not gonna be like that!

You want me just like

the rest of these women

going through niggas

like pair of shoes

trying to find me a nigga

to be a father to them?

And they got one?

- Baby, that's the whole

point, that's the whole

reason

of me seeing another woman

is because you got

no understanding.

You get tired, you feel--

- Man I have understood

and I have understood

and I have understood

and I am tired of understanding.

- Baby I leave here every

day go looking for a job!

- I don't wanna hear it,

I don't wanna hear it.

I don't wanna hear it.

You talk to me

- Oh shut up, shut up, shut up.

- You don't throw 'em out

when I bring 'em in here.

- When you bring what

brought in here?

What have you brought in here?

You stand there

and look at me ugly

like that's gonna make

the situation better

but honey it ain't

gonna make it no better.

Til you start trying to

be a man ain't nothing

Which is more than your

son think about you.

Think the little kids in

the neighborhood don't know

'cause they mamas

Everybody know!

You expect me to keep on

grinning and cheesing?

What do you think

Listen baby, it's

- Well if you can see

what I'm going through

Why are you doing this to me?

- But you are not giving

me the benefit of the doubt

to say that I'm--

- That's all I been

feel my hands, I been giving

you the benefit of the doubt.

- Give us a try, baby!

- Oh man.

You right, it looks bad.

I don't want the neighbors

- No, you don't care.

- But I do care, Andais.

Now listen.

I'm gonna get a job.

If I have to, I'll go

You got a right to be

tired, I understand.

But it wasn't always

- When ain't it been this way?

And quit dreaming your

pipe dreams, hear?

Just quit dreaming the dreams.

'Cause I done got tired

and old and ugly helping you

dream your dreams, Charlie.

And I am tired helping

you dream your dreams.

Can you understand that?

Now I don't know what's

wrong with everybody.

But now you know

- Okay.

Okay Andais.

I just want to give you

a little time to yourself

and I'll stay there tonight

and tomorrow I'll come home.

Okay?

- Charlie.

- I'll come home tomorrow--

- Charlie.

- And we'll sit down--

- Charlie.

- And we'll talk about it.

Okay?

Okay Andais?

I'm gonna give

you a little time,

not even a little time to think.

Okay baby?

Andais?

(gentle jazz music)

- [Mr. Williams] I don't know

when I'll have enough work

to call on you again.

- I'd sorta figured

this but I appreciate

what work you have

thrown my way.

- Yeah.

Well let me pay you now.

Call me next week.

- Okay.

- And I'll pay you

now and go and yeah.

And thank you anyway.

- Thank you Mr. Williams.

- Oh yeah, anytime.

- And I'm gonna call

you, I'm gonna call you

first of next week.

- Okay.

- And if you need me 'fore

then you just give me a call

and I'll be available.

- Okay then.

- But you know I appreciate it.

- Alright then.

- Alright.

- Watch me when I back up there.

- Sure.

- Okay.

- Come on back, it looks good.

- Okay.

(clippers buzzing)

- How you doing, Mr. Jet?

- [Mr. Jet] It's a lovely day.

See you around.

- You, that your

last customer there?

- [Mr. Jet] That's

the last one, yeah.

- Okay.

Listen Jet.

You know where we

can find some work?

- Well it's all depending.

If you do what you

do what can you do?

You see, you know how

it is that the old man

advise a lot of these young

fellas and what you tell them

and you give them advice

they tell you what

you can go and do.

- Oh no, man we didn't

come down for that.

Listen.

I've got to find me a job.

I listen.

- You come 'round here for that?

- [Charlie] Well

we just had to see.

- What can you qualify to do?

We have to know something

else before you can get a

job.

What can you do?

- [Charlie] I can work.

I can drive a truck,

I can run a forklift.

See Mr. Jet, I got

to find some work.

And I listen.

- Maybe you're too choicey.

Maybe you have to do

accept what you can find

and look for the future.

If you don't do that, it's

kinda hard for you to find

exactly what you

want (mumbles) see?

And a lot of these

young folks you know

they can't get up early

enough to go find a job.

They get up at 12 o'clock

and you should have been up

at seven or six.

I'll bet you find a

job when you get there

all the jobs are gone.

Are you the man don't

want to be bothered?

Some of these guys can't wake up

unless somebody call.

Think you can do that?

- [Charlie] Getting

up ain't my problem.

That ain't my problem.

It's that I'm a man

with three kids,

I don't mind working,

I never have.

I just can't find nothing on.

- You see I been around

here quite a while

and I've experienced

a lot of that.

That the guys can get up

early, can do everything,

but when you check him right

down to the nitty gritty,

you can't get up anymore.

Course I'm not accusing

you of them guys

but I'm just telling you

what the possibility is

and if you wanna be successful

you got to make a sacrifice

somewhere down the line.

If you ain't willing to make

a sacrifice you can't make

it.

- You just better not waste

nothing on your plate young

man.

Can't afford to be

choosy, eat it up.

More like it.

- Where's my pole?

- What pole?

- My fishing pole!

Now I still have one here!

- I ain't seen no pole.

Why don't you just

let me look for it

'cause at the rate you

going we ain't gonna have

a roof over our heads?

- No, where are the kids?

We gonna have every swinging

ass in here to look for it.

- Charlie, this don't

make no kinda sense.

Just come on out, I'll get it.

Ronnie!

Ronnie!

Angie!

Go on, move, let me find it.

Ronnie!

Angie!

(gentle jazz music)

(dog barking)

- [Angie] Kim, get up

and use the bathroom.

Kim, get up and go

use the bathroom girl.

(light jazz music)

- Dad is so sorry.

Baby he's sorry he ain't

able to let you live

in a better neighborhood.

Where you don't have

these kind of garages.

And they ain't bend

around to hurt you.

(crying)

But Daddy ain't evil.

No, Daddy ain't evil.

And I don't know why.

- [Andais] What'd you say?

- I just don't know.

- [Andais] Come on,

it's gonna be okay.

(bangs)

- It's gonna be okay,

it's gonna be okay,

it's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

- I don't know!

(sobbing)

- It's gonna be okay.

- I don't know.

- It's gonna be okay.

- Baby I don't know.

I just don't know.

- We love you baby.

(light jazz music)

- Oh man.

- We gonna have to get us a job.

- You already

getting discouraged.

Man we gonna make some money.

- Hello kind sir,

- Where'd you get this?

- Well see we went down

there to the river there.

and shouting)

- Where's he going?

- Hey, hey dude!

Why you like that jumping

- What's wrong with you?

- What's wrong

- What do you mean

See the money we made, man?

- I can't understand.

Hey man!

(muttering)

- Money and well my nigga.

- [Man] Hey, where you going?

- [Man] I don't know man

maybe (mumbles) about

something man.

- [Man] I'm not selling

the fish man I don't

got not time.

(shouting)

- [Man] Hey man I don't know

what's wrong with the man.

I'm trying to talk to him man

and he don't wanna even talk--

- You can talk to me.

- 'Cause he got babies.

And we ain't got no babies.

(shouting fades out)
