Hey, Bree. You heading to school?

Yep. I like to get to English Lit early,
otherwise I have to sit next to the boy

who smells like feet.

How about you guys sit next to Arnaz?

Ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha. Very funny, Daddy.

And here I was thinking I wouldn't have
anything to write in my Daddy Be Hatin'

journal.

Hey, hey, now, Danielle gave us those
therapy journals for us to communicate

with each other, not to discuss Arnaz
and spunky feet.

Oh, I'm communicating.

What are you writing down?

Uh, uh, uh.

You'll find out tomorrow in therapy when
I read it to Danielle.

Oh, fine then. You gonna write something
and I'm gonna write something about you

then.

Wait a minute, what you writing? Yeah,
show me yours first.

You show me yours and then I'll show you
mine.

I love my daughter.

She's thoughtful, generous, sweet, and
nice.

I should probably get this back from
you.

She called me Denzel on crack.

I didn't sleep at your house until you
and your mom were humming at the moon

night.

Humming at the moon?

Spirit, that's not going to get you a
man. That's going to get you a werewolf.

For your information, humming connects
your chakras to the power of the moon.

It gives you energy and awakens your
spirit.

It awakens the whole neighborhood.

I've got to find another place to stay.

Well, I hate to bring this up, but don't
you think you should call your father?

My dad?

It's not going to happen.

He's still mad at me because I chose to
live with my mom.

But, Arnaz, this is different. You have
nowhere to go.

Look, all my dad cares about is his
business and keeping his new wife

in Hello Kitty.

Look, Arnaz, stop tripping. You can
still stay with us.

No, I can't. It's not the homeless, it's
the voodoo.

I saw your mama take a hair out of my
brush.

Ow!

See?

I gotta find another place to crash.

Have you seen my thesaurus? I need about
a thousand more words for teenage pain

in the butt.

Flex, everybody knows dinosaurs are
extinct.

So is your brain.

Where'd you get all this stuff from,
man? What, did you win the Showcase

Showdown on Pep My Ride?

Yo, check it out. This is my inventory
for my new business.

D's, dubs, and subs.

It's a combination of deli and rim shop.
Our motto is, enjoy a sub while we hook

up your dubs.

And my motto is, that's stupid.

Dwayne, how can you afford to open a
shop? Man, one of these rims costs as

as this building.

That's why it's good to have high
friends in low places.

Remember my ex -girlfriend Beatrice?

Oh, you mean the big girl who whispered
in bass?

She did have a Barry White thing going
on.

She also had Adam's apple, but that's
besides the point.

Anyways, she's hooked up with all these
government auctions, man, and I got all

this stuff at a great price.

Unfortunately, now... Most of my savings
are spent.

Oh, see, that's what me and my wife, we
get up out of here.

Listen, listen, dog. This is my
opportunity to be my own boss.

It's a shame I can't depend on you for
my own independence.

Come on, Dwayne. You're Donald Trump
without the hairpiece.

Remember that last idea?

Black baby powder.

Oh, so black man is supposed to only use
white baby powder.

There ain't no man that's supposed to be
using baby powder.

But, Flex, think about it, man. All you
have to be is a silent partner.

You know what? Let's see what the
spinners have to say.

What'd they say?

Hell no!

What are you doing in the hallway with
just a towel on?

That's not true.

I got rope -a -soap.

What is all this in your lap?

Have you been sleeping here at school?

Look, just last night, since my mother
and I got evicted, I came to your place

to crash.

Please don't tell anyone.

I know that your mom is away, recovering
from her drinking problem, but is there

any way that you can stay with your
father?

You know, why does everyone want me to
go running to my dad?

He knows what I'm going through.

Why doesn't he call to see how I'm doing
for once?

Maybe he doesn't know the number to your
locker.

I must give him a call. He can't help
you if he doesn't know that you need it.

The only person my dad is interested in
helping is himself.

Well, I'm afraid that you don't have a
choice.

If you sleep here again, I have to
report you.

Hey, Flex, wait up. Check it out.

I want to show you the blueprints for
D's, Dubs, and Thumbs.

Pardon myself, man. It was good.

That's great, man. Looks like it's all
coming together, man. Good luck with

that. Come on, Flex.

Man, you know you want a part of the
action.

Oh, what I really want is a piece of
that sandwich. That's with cheese?

Well, actually, it's a provolone.

I'm importing it from Provo.

But this is not about cheese.

Man, this is about me asking you for
help.

Come on, Flex. For once, support me. All
right, this is my chance. My coup de

ville.

Don't you mean your coup de grace?

Will you stop talking about cheese?

Every time I have an idea, you squash
it.

Just like that time back in the middle.

fresh. If you get squirted, then
everybody else will want it. Because

man, Blackie.

Then we'll be paid in full.

Well, I am drying out.

But that's why I carry my own.

See ya.

Wouldn't want to be ya.

Maybe if you would have helped me out,
I'd be a different man today.

Dwayne, you couldn't be more different.

Hey, here we are.

Don't worry, boo. Everything's going to
be okay.

My dad's not exactly on my favorite
personal list, but what choice do I

Either this or drink goat's blood and
spirits.

We do that one time, and all of a sudden
we're the goat blood.

I ought to put some pants on.

Well, come on in, guys.

Son, what happened to your leg?

Tripping of all those hearts you've been
breaking?

No, Dad, I leave that to you.

Remember Brianna and Spirit, right?

Oh, yeah, sure I do.

So, Spirit, is your family still
drinking goat's blood?

So is your mom still in drunk camp?

She's at Aunt Sonia's now.

Ah, Aunt Sonia.

Yeah, you know, she was almost your
mother.

But that's another story.

So, uh, how do you guys like the place?
I decorated this myself.

It's real nice.

Would have been nicer if I'd seen it a
year ago when you moved in.

Well, Tony, it takes a lot of time to
bring all this together.

So, uh, what brings you guys by,
unannounced?

Well, until my mom gets back on her
feet, I'm gonna need a place to stay.

Oh, really?

Well, uh, let me give you a hand.

Have a seat.

We'll do some brainstorming, okay?

I got nothing.

I told you guys this was a waste of
time. Come on, let's go.

No, no, Arnaz, wait.

Mr. Ballard, Arnaz has no place to go.

He's been sleeping in his locker.

And I know you guys haven't talked in a
while, but he needs you.

Is this true, son?

I don't sleep in the locker.

I sleep against it.

Wow.

So you want to stay with me?

That's a switch.

Okay, that's fine.

But I have some rules, okay?

You see that blue cup over there on the
bar? Uh -huh.

That's mine.

Don't ever touch it, and I mean ever.

Don't use any towels except for the
brown ones.

Don't ask why.

And the front door, it stays locked
after 10 o 'clock because that's lovin'

time, and I don't get up.

Hey, speaking of lovin', sweetie, you
remember my son Arnaz?

I sure do, you little cutie.

Now I don't have to tell you the rules
about your stepmother, do I?

Hi, I'm his girlfriend, Brianna.

And this is Spirit.

Your senior year, I was in your Spanish
class.

That's right.

Oui, oui.

I'm off to the gym.

Once you turn 21, a girl has got to
start watching her figure.

Oh, baby, that's my job.

Bye -bye.

Oh, boy.

Oh, sorry.

All right, lads, there is one more rule.

Nobody lives here for free, including
her.

So, after school, I want you to come and
work for me at Crab in a Barrel.

But, Dad, after school is when I work on
my music.

You still doing that music crap?

Man, I knew living with your mother was
going to make you soft.

Son, crabs is your future.

It's the family empire.

Hey, look, here's one of our new
buttons.

Ask me about my crabs.

I don't get it.

Well, it's a joke, son. It's play on
words.

Okay, you know, we'll start you washing
dishes.

Look, Dad, I'm sorry, but I don't want
to run a crab empire.

I'm a musician.

Look, son, maybe if you were like Al
Green, but, you know, you're not even

Mitch Green.

You remember Mitch Green, the little kid
who lived down the street, played

clarinet, he had a really hot mom?

You know, she was almost your mother,
too.

Look, Dad, I kind of already made up my
mind.

All right.

You want to find your own way?

You find your own way.

You know what, Dad? I'm going to find my
way just fine.

I'm going to keep doing it.

I'm out of here.

I want you to tune it into the bedroom.

The swing set?

Nice.

I'm sorry, Mr. Knox, but I'd be more
than happy to write your company a check

for one million dollars if only you had
one more investor. Say, a local

celebrity, perhaps.

Huh. Well, I don't know any local
celebrities.

Oh! Hey, Flex.

Nice try, Dwayne. Man, you can't guilt
me into investing in your company.

And, Jordy, my pizza was cold last time.
I want five bucks off the next one.

Hey, you know him?

Oh, Jordy.

Hey, Daddy, we was just waiting for you.

Were you waiting for me to wipe the lip
gloss off Arnaz's neck?

No, seriously, Daddy, Arnaz needs your
help.

Why do I have to help him?

Arnaz's father won't let him stay at his
place because he doesn't want to go

into the crab business with him. Yeah.

Look at the button he wants me to wear.

That's funny.

Ask me about my crabs.

Everybody gets it but me.

Dad, you can talk to Arnaz's father
because you're a parent who understands

kid in their dreams.

Yeah. Brianna wants to be an actress and
you support her.

Now, after she ran away to New York.

Okay, I probably shouldn't have brought
that up.

I'm glad that you did, because it makes
it easy for me to say no.

Fine. Where's my journal? Oh.

Hey, what are you doing?

I just thought about something else I
don't like about you.

You don't like to help people.

Hey, that's not fair. Those journals are
supposed to be for you and me, not

other people.

Daddy, Arnaz isn't other people. Arnaz
is family.

Just please help him for me.

Baby, couldn't you just find a boyfriend
with a home?

Or a job, or a functional family, or two
good legs.

Now that you hear that lie, that boy
does need help.

All right, Arnaz, look, I'll talk to
your father.

Oh, thanks, Daddy. You're the best.
Don't hug me. Put it in your journal.

You serving papers?

No, hi, Mr.

Ballard. I'm Flex Washington.

Oh, hey, Flex Washington from the Flex
Files.

Hey, flat out.

Hey,

did I win something? Because if I did, I
should probably put some pants on, huh?

Uh, no, I'm here to talk to you about
your son. He's dating my daughter,

Brianna. And, yeah, I would appreciate
it if you could put some pants on.

All right, come on in.

Ooh, who's your roommate, man?

Undercover brother?

High five, brother.

Please, these are antiques.

Look, I'm just going to get straight to
the point.

I didn't have to stay in my apartment
because you kicked him out.

No, no, I did not kick him out. He
walked out.

He made a choice, just like he did
before.

I gave him the opportunity to learn a
business from the ground up.

He could be out there giving the whole
world crabs right now.

We're talking about the business, right?

Val, Arnaz is 18.

He still has a few years to figure out
what he wants to do with the rest of his

life.

You know, Flex, you sound just like his
mother.

She babied that boy.

I'm trying to make him into a man.

Do you know what I was doing when I was
his age?

Walking around in your drawers?

I wish.

No, I was working on a crab boat at 6 in
the morning every day, trying to make

enough money to take care of my mom and
my sisters after my dad left us.

And now, 25 years later, I own three
Crab in a Barrel restaurants.

Now, I really love that place, man. Y
'all need to stay open later.

No, brother, we close at 10.

Anyways, I offered Arnaz all of that,
and he turned me down.

Second time, he said no to me.

So, fine, if he wants to find his own
way in the world, let him go.

Well, he's trying to do that.

And at the very least, you should
support him. And who knows? He may still

up with crabs.

We're talking about the business, right?

Look, the bottom line is, Mr. Ballard,
Arnaz needs you.

All right, I'll give the boy a call.

Maybe we can work something out.

Good. Good.

I'm just here to help family, that's
all.

That's beautiful, Flex.

Well, it's 10 o 'clock.

My wife's in the other room setting up.

So, you know, you don't have to go home,
but... Oh, setting up.

All right. All right, brother. Now
you're wasting time.

Oh, man.

Now, always wanted red shoes.

I love what you haven't done to the
place.

Hello, Flex.

You know, if you came down here to
insult me, I'd rather you wait till I

home.

What are you doing?

Man, I got $20 ,000 burning a hole in my
pocket.

What should I do with it?

That's a lot of money, Flex.

Probably shouldn't carry it around in
this neighborhood.

Wait a minute.

You believe in my dream?

No, man, I believe in you.

And besides, I owe you for all those
times I said no.

You know, that's not the way you treat
family.

You consider me family?

Until you lose my money, then you're
dead to me.

Hey, thanks.

Partner.

So,

uh, you're really going with red, huh?
Silent, partner.

Talk with the brush.

I just got home and you're already
writing.

Let me guess.

You don't like the way I walk?

No, Daddy. I was just writing in my
journal that I like what you did for

Well, I'm good.

Did you put that in your journal? That
I'm good?

Yes, I did.

All right, Daddy. I'm about to go help
Arnaz move into his apartment.

You mean it's Dad's place, right?

Oh, no. Mr. Ballard decided to give
Arnaz his own apartment.

And it's all because of you.

is not interrupting loving time.

Wait a minute. Arnaz has his own
apartment?

Yeah, Daddy.

Oh, I'll probably be home a little late
because we're going to be doing it all

night long. What?

I'll be home a little late because we're
probably going to be cleaning it all

night long. The place is a mess. See ya.

Oh.

Oh, Lord.

Dear Journal.

Love you too, Netta.
