OH, CALVIN, THANK YOU

FOR BRINING THE MATTRESS

FOR YOUR COUSIN RENEE,

BUT WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

THE GAS STATION ONLY HAD

ONE AIR PUMP.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FASTER USING

POP'S HOT AIR.

CALVIN, I THOUGHT THOSE

THINGS CAME WITH THEIR OWN PUMP.

NOT WHEN THEY'RE ON

CLEARANCE.

I GOT IT FROM THE HOMEBOY

SHOPPING NETWORK.

I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT.

THAT'S 'CAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW

THE RIGHT HOMEBOYS.

SO WHEN'S THE LAST TIME

YOU SAW RENEE ANYWAY?

PROBABLY ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO,

RIGHT AFTER MY SISTER

MOVED TO L.A.

I WONDER WHAT SHE

LOOKS LIKE NOW.

OOH.

SHE WAS ALWAYS A PRISSY

LITTLE PRINCESS.

YOU SAYING IT LIKE SHE CUTE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

LET ME SHOW YOU ONE OF YOUR

PICTURES.

ARE THOSE HER TEETH?

CALVIN!

IT LOOKS LIKE SHE COULD CHEW

THROUGH SOME BRICKS.

THIS BABY HAS

A LOT GOING FOR HER.

SHE'S SMART, SHE WAS ON THE

HONOR ROLL EVERY YEAR, AND SHE

WAS CLASS VALEDICTORIAN.

GREAT! I GOT A PAPER

DUE NEXT WEEK.

SHE'S COMING RIGHT ON TIME.

NO, CALVIN. SHE'S NOT HERE

FOR THAT, BABY.

SHE'S HERE FOR THE MEET AND

GREET TONIGHT AND THEN THE

INTERVIEW WITH THE COLLEGE

SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE, WHICH OUR

CHURCH IS AWARDING.

AND THEN SHE'S GOING BACK HOME.

HEY, MS. ELLA, WE'RE HERE.

HEY -- WHAT -- WHAT?

WHERE IS SHE?

HERE I IS. HEE HEE!

OOH.

YO, AUNTIE EL, WHAT IT DO!

AH, AH. I DON'T KNOW,

BUT WHATEVER IT IS,

IT DID IT ALL OVER YOU.

JANINE, WOULD YOU PLEASE PUT

HER BAG IN JAZMINE'S ROOM?

YES, MA'AM.

MM, MM, MM.

SO, WHAT IT IS, FAM.

LONG TIME, NO -- HOLD UP.

YO, DUDE, YOU IS ROCKING THEM

KICKS.

HA HA!

THAT'S JUST HOW I DO,

YOU KNOW.

WHAT SHE SAY?

OH, SHE LIKE THE KICKS THAT

I BE ROCKING.

THE K-KICKS THAT YOU BE

ROCKING?

WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT?

HIS SHOES IS FLY.

ALL RIGHT. HA HA.

I GOT THINGS TO DO.

OH, OKAY, FAM!

[ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY ]

O...KAY. HA HA. YEAH.

HOO-WEE. Y'ALL AIN'T GOT NO

BARS ON Y'ALL WINDOWS?

YOU AIN'T EVEN GOT NO PLASTIC ON

YOUR FURNITURE.

AUNTIE, YOU ALL DOING A DAMN

THING.

FOR REAL.

YOU MEAN GOOD, RIGHT?

YEAH!

SO, DO YOU STILL PLAY THE

PIANO?

UNH-UNH!

THE PIANO IS WHACK, AUNTIE.

I RAPS NOW. MM-HMM.

IT'S JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING

I DO ON THE SIDE.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'M WORKING

ON MY DEMO RIGHT NOW FOR MY

SINGLE.

CHECK THIS OUT. HEE HEE!

* IT AIN'T WHERE YOU FROM *

* IT'S WIKKA-WIKKA-WIKKA-WIKKA *

* WHERE YOU AT **

OH, THAT'S GREAT.

THAT'S GREAT, I THINK.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I THINK I SHOULD Z-UP FOR MY

MEET AND GREET TONIGHT.

SO, UM, WHERE AM I CRASHING?

Z-UP FOR THE...

RENEE, CHILD, I DON'T KNOW WHAT

YOU TALKING ABOUT, BUT YOU GONNA

BE SLEEPING IN JAZMINE'S ROOM.

SHE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU.

OKAY. THAT'S COOL.

SHOOT. I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW HER

MY TATS.

WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

YOU CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW HER YOUR

WHAT?

AUNTIE, YOU KNOW.

MY TAT-TATS. MY TATTOOS.

OH, GOD.

YOU GOT TATTOOS, TOO?

YEAH!

OKAY. WELL, UM,

SHOULD I BE SCARED?

NO.

RENEE...

HMM?

NOTHING.

JANINE, HERE SHE COMES!

OKAY, SO THAT'S RUBY,

MY PRIDE AND JOY.

NOW HERE'S THE KITCHEN.

THERE'S THE LOCKERS.

THERE'S THE BULLETIN BOARDS.

SEE, THERE'S THE CHIEF.

WHO IS THIS KID, AND WHY IS

HE IN HERE?

SORRY, CHIEF.

THIS IS MY NEPHEW PETER.

HE WANTS TO BE A FIREFIGHTER,

SO I THOUGHT IT'D BE OKAY

IF HE HUNG OUT WITH ME.

NO.

THE TRUTH IS, I NEED THE

EXTRA CASH FROM BABY-SITTING.

LOOK, THIS IS A FIREHOUSE.

NO KIDS IN THE FIREHOUSE.

THIS IS NOT "ROMPER ROOM."

HEY, HEY. EXCUSE ME.

C.J., WHY IS MALIK HERE?

OH, WE JUST PASSING THROUGH,

MAN, I'M SORRY.

I JUST GOT TO GET SOMETHING OUT

OF MY LOCKER.

I CAN BENCH PRESS 120 POUNDS.

OKAY. SO?

SO YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG IF

YOU WANT TO BE A FIREFIGHTER.

WHO IS HE?

MALIK, THIS IS MY NEPHEW

PETER.

WHOA.

I KNOW HOW TO MAKE A PROPER

KNOT, USE A GAS MASK.

I CAN ALSO RUN THE 40-YARD DASH

IN 5 SECONDS FLAT.

AGAIN, WHO IS THIS KID?

I'M YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE.

NOW, DON'T FORCE ME TO INTRODUCE

YOU TO THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.

OKAY. WELL, OKAY.

YOU BETTER BACK UP OUT OF MY

FACE BEFORE I INTRODUCE YOU

TO -- UGH! -- PAIN -- UGH! --

AND SUFFERING.

HEY, HEY.

WHAT'S GOING ON OVER HERE?

THIS FOOL RIGHT HERE IS

TALKING A WHOLE BUNCH OF MESS.

OH, I'M SORRY.

DID I SCARE YOU, WUSS?

WUSS?

PETER, STOP IT.

THAT'S NOT NICE.

WUSS, WUSS, WUSS.

[ SPEAKING SPANISH ]

PETER, STOP.

ANGEL, ANGEL, C.J., I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY.

HE CAN BE A LITTLE OBNOXIOUS.

OH, YOU THINK?

C.J. OH, I HEARD ABOUT YOU.

YOU'RE THE FIREMAN WHO COULDN'T

SAVE HIS OWN HOUSE.

YOU HAVE TO BE, LIKE, WHAT,

THE WORST FIREMAN EVER?

I LIKE THIS KID. I LIKE HIM.

HE REMINDS ME OF MYSELF WHEN

I WAS A TODDLER.

WELL, LOOK HERE, PETER,

PETER, PUNK-IN EATER, IF IT'S

A COMPETITION YOU WANT, MALIK IS

UP TO THE CHALLENGE.

YOU JUST SAY WHEN.

WHEN.

HOLD ON. HOLD ON.

C.J., I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD

BE VOLUNTEERING THE WUSS TO

COMPETE WITH PETER.

UNCLE CURTIS, MALIK HAS MORE

HEART THAN ANYBODY IN HERE.

RIGHT, MALIK?

[ WHISTLING ]

RIGHT, MALIK?

MALIK?

BOY! NO, HE WANTS TO COMPETE.

GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE!

DOES THAT MEAN HE WINS?

OOH, ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE

THAT YOU WANTED TO WEAR THIS?

YES. AUNTIE ELLA, I AM SURE.

UHH.

OH, I'M SORRY,

BUT BONQUISHA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

IS DOWN THE HALL.

NO, EMILY, THIS IS MY NIECE,

RENEE PARKER.

SHE'S HERE FOR THE MEET

AND GREET.

OH, MY APOLOGIES.

WELL, COME IN. COME IN.

RENEE, YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT

WAS MOST IMPRESSIVE.

I HEARD YOU PLAN TO PURSUE

ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING.

OH, FOR SURE!

YO, I GOT SOME REAL CRUNKED UP

DESIGNS, LIKE POUNDING MY DOME

NIGHT AND DAY.

PARDON ME?

ELLA, WHAT DID SHE SAY?

SHE SAID SHE IS SO HAPPY

TO BE CONSIDERED

FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP.

JO, THIS IS MY NIECE,

RENEE PARKER.

NICE MEETING YOU, RENEE.

YOU COME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

SO TELL ME, WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR

ROLE MODELS?

OH, UM, LIL' KIM,

QUEEN LATIFAH,

DANG, WHAT'S HER NAME?

CONDOLEEZZA RICE.

YO, SHE IS STRAIGHT GANGSTER,

WHAT SHE MEANT TO SAY...

MM-HMM.

...WAS THAT SHE REALLY --

WELL, I JUST CAN'T...

YO, YO, YO, AUNTIE EL,

I GOT THIS.

CAN YOU PLEASE STOP

SPEAKING FOR ME?

OH, UM, I GOT TO GO.

THERE'S DREA BUFORD.

IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU, RENEE.

DREA IS ONE OF THE FINALISTS.

NOW, SHE WAS ACCEPTED TO YALE,

HARVARD, AND PRINCETON.

OKAY. THAT'S WHAT'S UP.

OH, MY. IS THAT A GOLD TOOTH?

OH, YEAH, YOU LIKE IT?

I CAN GET YOU ONE.

NO, I DON'T.

RENEE, PLEASE BE HONEST.

SOMEONE HELPED YOU WITH YOUR

ADMISSIONS PACKET, DIDN'T THEY?

EXCUSE ME?

UH, YEAH, EMILY, WHAT ARE YOU

REALLY TRYING TO SAY?

RENEE IS CLEARLY

OUT OF HER LEAGUE.

[ SCOFFS ]

OH, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

DO NOT LEAVE.

NAH, MAN, FORGET THESE FOOLS,

AUNTIE ELLA.

I DON'T NEED THEY STANKIN'

LITTLE SCHOLARSHIP ANYWAY.

YES, YOU DO.

NO, I DON'T.

YES, YOU DO.

YO, I DON'T NEED TO GO

TO COLLEGE TO BE SUCCESSFUL,

YOU KNOW.

NAME ONE PERSON -- NAME ONE

SUCCESSFUL PERSON WHO DID NOT GO

TO COLLEGE.

MARY J. BLIGE, CHRIS ROCK,

50 CENT.

THOSE ARE ENTERTAINERS.

NAME SOMEBODY ELSE.

PARIS HILTON.

OKAY, YOUR FAMILY DOES NOT

OWN A HOTEL.

WITHOUT AN EDUCATION, THERE IS

A STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT YOU

WILL STRUGGLE MOST OF YOUR LIFE.

LOOK, I KNOW THAT,

AUNTIE ELLA, BUT IF COLLEGE IS

FULL OF NOTHING BUT THESE STANKY

SNOBS, THEN IT AIN'T FOR ME.

YEAH, WELL, I'M OUT.

RENEE, WAIT A MINUTE. RENEE!

KNOCK, KNOCK!

RENEE.

ARE YOU READY, FIREMEN?

YES!

YEAH!

DAD, I DO HAVE TO DO THIS

FOR REAL?

YES, YES, YOU GOT --

YOU ARE NOT A WUSS.

YOU ARE A PAYNE, OKAY?

LET'S GO.

SAVE LIVES!

LET'S GO! COME ON, SON.

GO, PETER. THERE YOU GO.

GO! GO!

SAVE THOSE LIVES, GUYS.

WE'RE SAVING LIVES!

JUST SLOWLY, SLOWLY PUT ON...

COME ON. GET UP, SON!

YOU'RE SAVING LIVES, MALIK.

COME ON, MALIK!

COME ON, SON.

MALIK, MALIK. HEY, SON. OKAY.

OKAY, GET UP, SON. ALL RIGHT.

SO, OKAY, GETTING DRESSED

AIN'T YOUR THING.

TIME.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU GOT THE HELMET

ON BACKWARDS, SON.

THAT'S MY BOY.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, FIREMEN, SOMETIMES

WHEN YOU'RE SAVING LIVES,

YOU GOT TO CLIMB STAIRS--

15, SOMETIMES 20 FLOORS.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A YOUNG

FIREMAN, I CLIMBED 80 FLOORS

ONE TIME TO SAVE A CAT.

HA HA!

AND SHE WAS A SWEET CAT. MEOW!

[ LAUGHTER ]

A LITTLE FIREMEN HUMOR. OKAY!

LET'S GO.

ARE YOU READY, FIREMEN?

YES!

DO THAT ONE MORE TIME...

YOU BETTER -- ONE MORE TIME!

YOU BE IN MY EAR LIKE THAT?

AND SAVE LIVES!

TAKE HIM DOWN, SON!

TAKE HIM DOWN.

LET'S GO, MALIK!

PETER, GO!

THIRD FLOOR...

GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!

COME ON, MALIK.

KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING.

HEY, HEY!

THERE'S SOMEBODY

IN THE STAIRWELL.

PETER, DON'T JUMP!

[ IMITATES OBJECT FALLING ]

SON, WHAT HAPPENED?

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

I'M SICK OF THIS, MAN.

I DON'T WANT TO BE NO

FIREFIGHTER.

THAT BOY'S ON STEROIDS.

AAH! MALIK!

[ SPEAKING SPANISH ]

UH, I'M SORRY.

I WAS -- OOH, I'M SORRY.

WHAT HAPPENED, SON?

I WAS -- WELL, I WAS --

LET'S JUST SAY BEING A

FIREFIGHTER IS BETTER AFTER ALL.

GOOD.

[ SHUDDERS ]

YOU READY FOR THE ARM

WRESTLING, SON?

YEAH, YOU GONNA TAKE HIM DOWN.

IT IS YOUR TIME, SON.

IT IS YOUR TIME.

YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

TAKE HIM DOWN.

COME ON, MAN. COME ON.

CONCENTRATE, BOY.

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE SAVING

LIVES, YOU GOT TO ARM WRESTLE.

THERE WE GO.

HUH? YOU HEARD ME.

SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO TAKE IT

MANO-MANO, HUH?

ARE YOU READY, FIRE--

YES!

I TOLD YOU, DON'T DO THAT NO

MORE.

HEY, HEY, CHIEF, CHIEF!

I TOLD HIM, DON'T DO IT!

DON'T KILL THE KID.

WHAT! HE JUST SAID --

CALM DOWN.

COME ON.

ARE YOU READY, FIREMEN?

YEAH.

KICK HIS BUTT, SON.

SAVE LIVES.

YEAH!

COME ON, MALIK.

COME ON, MALIK.

COME ON, BABY.

MALIK, GO, GO!

YOU GOT HIM, MALIK.

COME ON, BABY.

YOU GOT IT, BABY.

YOU GOT IT, BABY!

[ CHEERING ]

YEAH!

THAT IS WHAT

I'M TALKING ABOUT!

WHAT GOT INTO HIM, UNC?

WHAT GOT INTO HIM?

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT I THINK I LIKE IT.

YEAH. THAT'S MY BOY.

UH, YEAH. GRR!

OKAY, RENEE, BABY, I KNOW

YOU'RE UPSET, BUT YOU NEVER GAVE

THEM A CHANCE TO

GET TO KNOW YOU.

OKAY, SO HOW DID IT GO?

APPARENTLY, I WASN'T GOOD

ENOUGH FOR THEM.

PEOPLE JUDGE YOU ACCORDING

TO YOUR APPEARANCE

AND HOW YOU SPEAK.

BUT IT AIN'T RIGHT.

NO, IT "ISN'T" RIGHT.

EVEN JAZI AGREES.

IT AIN'T RIGHT.

LOTS OF THINGS IN LIFE

ARE NOT RIGHT,

BUT YOU DON'T GIVE UP.

IF YOU DO, THEN THEY WIN.

HEY, HEY.

WHAT'S UP, NEE-NEE?

HOW'D YOUR MIXER

THINGAMAJIG GO?

DON'T ASK.

AUNTIE ELLA, YOU KNOW I WANT

TO GO TO COLLEGE, BUT YOU ALSO

KNOW THAT I AIN'T STACKING NO

CHIPS LIKE THAT, SO I NEED THAT

SCHOLARSHIP.

"STACKING NO CHIPS"?

OH. IT MEANS SHE DOESN'T HAVE

A LOT OF MONEY.

OH, HA HA. OH!

MAN, BUT IF THEY AIN'T EVEN

WILLING TO GIVE ME A SHOT JUST

BECAUSE I DON'T FIT IN, SHOOT,

WELL, I DON'T WANT IT.

RENEE, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

EVER SINCE I GOT OUT OF THE

REHAB CENTER, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN

JUDGING ME ON MY PAST,

BUT YOU CAN'T LET YOUR PAST

DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE.

RIGHT. ALL YOU CAN DO IS YOUR

BEST, RENEE, AND THEN LET GOD

TAKE CARE OF THE REST.

THAT -- THAT WAS DEEP.

IT -- IT WAS!

OKAY, YOUR INTERVIEW

IS TOMORROW, SO I SAY LET'S JUST

GIVE IT ONE MORE SHOT.

AND WITH A NEW LOOK.

OH, SO YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY

I DRESS EITHER, COUSIN J.?

RENEE, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH

THE WAY YOU DRESS, BUT YOU'RE

NOT TRYING TO IMPRESS ME.

SOMETIMES IN ORDER TO REACH

PEOPLE, YOU HAVE TO SPEAK THEIR

LANGUAGE.

TRUST ME, I KNOW FIRSTHAND ABOUT

HOW DECEIVING LOOKS CAN BE.

SO, RENEE, ARE YOU READY FOR

YOUR MAKEOVER?

I GUESS SO.

GREAT. I'LL CALL THE SPA.

WE CAN ALL GO.

HA HA!

YEAH, COUNT ME IN,

'CAUSE I COULD USE A PEDICURE.

ARE YOU PAYING

FOR YOUR PEDICURE?

WOULD YOU PAY FOR MY...

UH-UH. COUNT HIM OUT.

NO, IT'LL BE JUST 3.

PETER, MALIK, SHAKE HANDS.

WELL, ONE THING'S FOR SURE --

YOU'RE NOT A WUSS.

THANK YOU.

I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I DID HAVE

FUN TODAY.

I LEARNED IN THE PROCESS THAT

THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN JUST

PLAYING VIDEO GAMES.

I HEARD THAT.

YOU WANT TO PLAY

SOME VIDEO GAMES?

SURE.

AWESOME.

[ CHUCKLES ]

WELL, GUYS, I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

OH, AND, C.J., CAN YOU FIX

THE LOCK UPSTAIRS?

MALIK WALKED IN ON ME EARLIER

CHANGING MY SHIRT.

HE DID WHAT?

YEAH, BUT I'M SURE IT WAS

JUST AN ACCIDENT.

UH, SO "BEING A FIREFIGHTER

ISN'T THAT BAD AFTER ALL," HUH?

WELL, DAD, I MEANT THAT.

OH. YOU MEANT THAT AFTER YOU

SAW ANGEL TAKING OFF HER SHIRT.

OKAY. MY BAD.

LOOK, SON, YOU CAN'T CHOOSE

A PROFESSION BASED ON WOMEN

OR FORTUNE OR FAME.

YOU GOT TO CHOOSE SOMETHING THAT

YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT.

YOUR DADDY ALWAYS WANTED

TO BE A PIMP.

[ BOTH LAUGHING]

COME ON.

OKAY, REMEMBER,

STICK TO THE PLAN.

I KNOW, BUT, AUNTIE ELLA,

I FEEL WEIRD.

LISTEN, NO MATTER WHAT,

DON'T GET FRUSTRATED, OKAY?

GO GET 'EM. OKAY.

SO, RENEE, I SEE YOU MADE IT

ON TIME.

HAVE A SEAT.

DO YOU PARTICIPATE IN ANY

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES?

WHY, YES, I DO.

WHEN I AM NOT BUSY MAINTAINING

MY 4.0 G.P.A...

I PLAY BASKETBALL.

OH, AND HOW ARE YOU AN ASSET

TO YOUR TEAM?

GIRL, HAVE YOU SEEN MY

JUMPER?

I BE LEBRON-ING THEM LIKE,

"B-BAM! SWISH! NOTHING BUT NET!"

[ Coughing ] SIT DOWN!

NEE-NEE!

SIT DOWN.

STICK TO THE PLAN.

PLEASE?

WHAT I MEANT TO SAY WAS I WAS

VOTED MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

TWO YEARS IN A ROW.

RENEE, I HAVE TO BE HONEST.

AFTER MEETING YOU LAST NIGHT,

WE'RE NOT CONVINCED THAT YOU'RE

RIGHT FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

FOR THIS SCHOLARSHIP, WE LOOK AT

THE WHOLE PACKAGE.

WELL, I DON'T THINK YOU DO.

LOOK, I KNOW I'M A LITTLE ROUGH

AROUND THE EDGES, BUT --

"ROUGH" IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT,

DEAR.

EMILY, PLEASE.

I'M JUST SAYING WE HAVE TO BE

VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT WHO GETS

THIS SCHOLARSHIP.

WE CAN'T GIVE IT

TO SOME HOOD RAT.

WHAT THE HELL?

DID YOU JUST CALL ME A HOOD RAT?

THAT'S ENOUGH, EMILY.

I SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING

YESTERDAY.

HOW DARE YOU JUDGE RENEE JUST

BECAUSE SHE HAPPENS TO BE

DIFFERENT FROM YOUR

OTHER APPLICANTS?

YO, DON'T EVEN TRIP, AUNTIE.

CHILL. I GOT THIS.

NO, RENEE, WHAT THEY'RE DOING

IS WRONG, OKAY?

IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO GET INTO

COLLEGE WITHOUT HAVING YOUR OWN

PEOPLE FROWNING DOWN ON YOU.

RIGHT.

I'M JUST CALLING IT

LIKE I SEE IT.

FOR ALL WE KNOW,

SHE COULD BE ON DRUGS.

DRUGS, EMILY?

NO, I'LL TAKE THIS ONE. ME.

HOW YOU DOING, EMILY?

WOW. SO, WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO

TELL ME IS THAT YOU CAN TELL

A DRUG ADDICT JUST BY

LOOKING AT SOMEBODY?

UH-OH.

EMILY, QUIT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD.

NO, NO, NO. YES, I CAN.

I'VE SEEN "THE WIRE."

WOW. SO YOU KNEW I USED TO BE

A DRUG ADDICT, RIGHT?

REALLY?

MM-HMM.

YES, IT'S TRUE.

I'VE BEEN TO THE CRACK HOUSE

AND EVERYTHING.

I MEAN, I -- OH, FORGET IT.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. ENOUGH.

YO, LISTEN, I KNOW I DIDN'T DO

MY BEST DURING THE MEET AND

GREET YESTERDAY.

I KNOW THIS.

BUT I AM TRYING TO PUT MY BEST

FOOT FORWARD NOW.

AND WITH OR WITHOUT THIS

SCHOLARSHIP, I'M GONNA MAKE IT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU TELL THEM, NEE-NEE.

FOSHIZZLE!

WHOO! AUNTIE!

[ LAUGHING ]

DO YOU SEE?

IT'S LOUD GHETTO OUTBURSTS

LIKE THAT--

CAN IT, EMILY.

AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, RENEE,

THE SCHOLARSHIP IS YOURS.

WHO'S WITH ME?

OOH!

YES!

I VOTE.

I GOT IT! OOH, I GOT IT! OOH!

OH, YOU GOT IT.

WE'RE LADIES.

OH, LADIES. RIGHT.

CHURCH HUG.

[ CHUCKLES ]

OH, THANK GOODNESS.

YES.

THANK GOODNESS.

THANK GOODNESS, 'CAUSE MY--

MY DOGS -- MY DOGS IS BARKING,

AUNTIE.

I GOT TO GET THEM OFF ME.

GIRL, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE

TALKING ABOUT.

OOH! COME ON, BILL. COME ON.

STRETCH A MINUTE.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR DOGS?

IT'S ALL ABOUT CIRCULATION.

YEAH...
