WOMAN [ON TV]: On this hot and steamy
Fourth of July weekend...

...independence is all about the money.

Every grocery store, liquor store,
gas station and corner market...

...has long lines out its doors...

...as people wait to purchase their
Mondo Millions lottery tickets.

Tonight's jackpot:
a record $370 million...

...has infected this city
with lottery fever.

We asked local residents
what they'd do with all that money.

l would give half the money to charity.

l would get drunk as hell.

l'd probably feed the whole world.
Enjoy life, you know.

l'd put it in my pocket.

l'm gonna go ski diving.

Hello, hello, hello. This is Mutt.

l quit.

REPORTER:
What would you buy for yourself?

An all-white Versace suit.

Would you break up with your girlfriend?

Yeah.

l'd do the same thing l'm doing now.

-You wouldn't change a thing?
-Uh-uh.

-l'm sorry, Mom. l wanna shop.
-l'd quit selling fruit.

REPORTER:
So would you split the money fifty-fifty?

-Yes.
-l would change everything.

Probably a mail-order bride.

-l would paint for the rest of my life.
-l would lose my mind.

Have more fun.

"Oh, my gosh! l won! Yay!"

Okay.

BENNY:
Damn.

ls that a home-cooked meal?

Yo! Miss Carson!

[DOOR SLAMS]

lf you don't come in here
like you got sense...

...l'm gonna knock some into you.

My bad, Miss Carson. l didn't mean
to slam that door like that.

ls Kevin ready yet?

He's in his room.

All right. Cool.

You looking exceptionally well today.

What you been using,
cocoa butter and Jesus?

l forgot to tell you,
there's a dude that live down the street...

...he was almost in
The Temptations.

You should holler at him. l'm telling you,
you're single, sexy and saved.

Get out my face, boy.

Think about it.
l'm gonna take this to Kevin.

Now, who got more swag than me?

Nobody.

You ain't got no swag.

-Man, look at you.
-This is so good.

Why you always come over,
eating all my food?

Why you so stingy?

Be nice. Come on, l'm your best friend.

You need to eat, man.
Gotta buff up a little bit.

Don't put it on my bed, man.

Oh, my God, Kev.

-Ooh. So many smuts outside.
-What you talking about, "smuts"?

Dip-offs, scrapes, women.

And they're wearing booty shorts
up to here, looking bad.

That's why l gotta look fly.

Which brings me to my next point.
Let me rock these.

-Hell, no.
-Why not?

l can't look like this?
lt's 1 0,000 degrees outside.

Look at me, man. Look how l look.
l look like a homeless thug.

-No. No. No.
-Fly.

All right, l see how it is.
l'm telling your grandmama you stingy.

-Grown man-- Man, be quiet.
BENNY: Miss Carson!

Thanks for breakfast, Miss Carson.
Appreciate it. Appreciate it.

Hey, get out the way.
All right, Grandmama.

l love you. l'm out.

You're not gonna eat your breakfast?

No, because l'm gonna be late
for work.

Oh, but you have time
to iron your shoestrings?

l hope the little girls
you trying to impress is worth it.

"Little girls"?
Don't worry, Kevin ain't getting no pu--

KEVlN: Ahem.
-l mean, Kevin doesn't have a girlfriend.

He doesn't let these Jezebels
get near him.

You know the one l'd like
to see you with, huh?

Here we go.

Stacie.

Oh, she's a bright girl
and she goes to church.

Grandma, look, we are just friends,
all right? That's it.

Friends.

-All right, dear.
BENNY: That would be nasty.

Suit yourself.
Now, wait a minute, here.

l want you to play my number for me
on the way home, okay?

And don't let nobody copy them
either. All right?

-l won't.
-Those are my numbers.

l dreamt them up last night.
They're out of the Holy Scripture.

Okay.

You know something? Last night l dreamt
that l was waiting on the number 1 7 bus.

You'll never guess who was driving
when the bus pulled up.

-Who?
-Jesus.

And l said, "Jesus, what are
you doing driving this bus?"

-You know what he said to me?
-No, ma'am.

He said, "Child, it's a recession.
Times is hard."

-That's what he said.
-You didn't ask me...

...but how did Jesus get a license
without a birth certificate?

-lt makes no sense.
-Out. Go.

BENNY: Gotta think about that.
KEVlN: Man, get your ass--

GRANDMA:
Ah.

-Sorry, Grandma.
-Mm-hm.

-l love you, though. Heh, heh.
-Ha, ha.

Bye, baby.

-Tell your girlfriend, get her panties from me.
-l'm talking about Ashley.

-Smell that.
-Nigga, that's Shaniqua.

Ben-Ben. Ben-Ben.

-Hey, hey, hey.
-Damn.

SEMAJ:

What's up, Semaj? How you doing?

-What y'all up to?
KEVlN: Going to work.

Going to work.
Going to the court, you know?

Sell some knickknack paddywhacks.
Give a dog a bone.

Why you so fidgety?
You gotta pee-pee or something?

-Huh?
-You gotta pee?

Huh? The bathroom right inside.

KEVlN:
l'm just excited about going to work.

-l'm really trying to go to work.
BENNY: Let's leave.

-Work?
-All right, Semaj.

Hey, yo, you heard
about that girl Ebony?

Up in Building 6?

-Fifty?
-Fifty!

BENNY: Damn, are they on sale?
-l need to work where she works.

Hey, hold up.
Listen to what l'm trying to say.

Now, you all could do yourself a favor,
stay up off that court.

Because your boy Lorenzo Mack,
he done got out ofjail.

-He got out?
-l seen him and his boys on that court.

Maybe y'all ought not
be hanging out there.

-Semaj, it's 9:00 in the morning.
BENNY: Yeah.

How in the hell do you get this gossip?

First of all, it's not gossip.

-lt's information.
BENNY: All right.

when you get a chance.

You ought to get it cut right about now.
Kind of nappy in the back.

Damn. Let me go to work

-You ain't going.
-Hell, no.

WASHlNGTON: Hey, young blood.
KEVlN: Yo.

WASHlNGTON:
Yo, l need some beefjerky...

...and a Cherry Coke.

Yeah, that's it?

You know he's crazy.

There ain't nothing wrong with
Mr. Washington.

He's a lunatic, Kevin.

He still got slave dust on him, dude.

l'm telling you, man. l think
Mr. Washington a serial killer, for real.

He eats beefjerky?

Who the hell eats beefjerky, Kevin?

Telling you, he on some mass-destruction,
Osama bin Laden-type stuff. Seriously.

You always do that.
Since we was little, you be doing that.

-You ain't that creative.
-Don't call me collect from heaven.

RAY-RAY: Now that, bitches,

But l'm simple, though?

Hey, get your ashy ass up out here, man.

lf l won the lottery? lf l won?

Boy, l'd get my ass
one of them helicopters.

-l'd be flying in one of them choppers.
-What, a helicopter? What the hell?

l hope Semaj was lying
about letting Lorenzo out.

He the last person l wanna see.

Keep the thugs in jail.
You know what l'm saying?

Stacie!

Hey!

Boy, you know you're late, right?

What, l'm supposed to wait

Why you always down my back?

You got a watch,

While you sitting in bumper-to-bumper
traffic in your Brigatti--

-Bugatti.
-Bugatti.

Even a PlayStation with

And l can't forget the feet up with
them 24-inch gold spinners on there.

lt would kill y'all!

Nigga, you can't put rims on a helicopter.
Ain't got no damn wheels!

Broke people. Look at them.

RAY-RAY:
What you talking about, broke?

There's a man that knows something.
Ask Kevin.

Tell me, if you won the lottery,
would you rather get a sports car...

...or would you get a helicopter?

l don't even play the lottery.

BENNY: Don't answer that.
TASHA: Why?

lt's designed to keep poor people poor
by selling them false dreams.

Man, y'all know that.

-Can y'all clear the way?
STAClE: We're good, we're good.

STAClE: Y'all don't have to go over there.
-Come on, man.

Damn.

What's up, Lorenzo?
How was your vacation?

They got cell phones in prison now.

Huh?

You feel me?

KEVlN:

KEVlN: Bring your ass, let's go.

Hey, Foot Locker.

BENNY: We got all the shoes you need.
-Get off the court.

"We"? Dude, that's me.

You don't work at Foot Locker, nigga.

You just got me killed.

You might as well grab the gun,

lt's too hot to be picking up some shoes.

Lorenzo's a bitch.
He ain't gonna pick up them shoes.

-Free Jordans?
-Oh, yeah, you're right.

And you, you lucky.

You get to go off to college
while we're stuck here.

You know what? Don't start.

Man, you need to speak for yourself, bro.
l'll be rich.

l have my business plans
plotted out right now.

You could still apply to design school
if you really wanted to, Kevin.

Yeah, l can,
but design school costs money.

Besides, if l go,
who gonna watch my grandmother?

Other than Jesus, l'm all she got.

And right now Jesus ain't
paying the rent. Straight up.

He ain't gonna show up, Kev.

Fourteen minutes and 32 seconds late
there, Kevin.

That's coming out of your paycheck.
Heh, heh.

Yeah, l figured that.

For someone who has his aspirations
on being assistant manager...

...you're not showing me much.

There's more to the job
than just knowing about shoes.

Remember that.

-Man.
-You like what you see?

Man, them joints is crazy.

-How much are those?
-About 5000.

-Five thousand what? Dollars?
-Yep.

You gotta be kidding me.
For some sneakers?

Hold on. They're not just sneakers.

These are Clark Kent limited-edition
Air Force 1 s.

The mesh, that's all original.

From the original Air Force Highs
that dropped in 1 982.

Look at the elephant print
from the original Retro Jordan lll's.

Yeah, he put up big numbers
against Bird in those.

l'll get them one day.

Man, they're just shoes.

Yeah, all right. Well, maybe to you...

...but not to me.

Can l get some help?

Can somebody help me, please?

-Can somebody service this customer?
-l can, sir.

l can service you, sir. How--? Um....
What can l do you for? Heh, heh, heh.

Not you.

Him.

-No.
-Uh, Kevin?

[MOUTHlNGC
Come here.

Be right with you.

Keep your eye on them.
They look like riffraff.

Man, you have no idea.

Fellas, what can l help y'all with?
Y'all want the T-shirt?

Shut up.

Give me some 1 2s, some 1 3s, all right?

Black joints with the swoosh on the side.

And l know they got them because l called
to make sure when they was in stock.

Usually l work the register. l didn't--

Will you go get the shoes? Chop-chop.

[MUTTERlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY]

KEVlN:
Hey, check it out, man.

lf those don't fit, there's another
Foot Locker you can go to.

-No, they fit.
-All right.

You know, when l was a kid...

...if l wanted some new pairs of shoes...

...used to have to steal them
off niggas' feet. Just rob them.

But thanks to you,
we got new shoes fresh out the box.

That's love, man.

-Got it.
-So how much l owe you?

You gonna pay?

Tsh.

Don't you know crime don't pay?

You stupid.

Hey, man, y'all want no socks?
No bag? All right.

Just walk right out the store.

-Carry them all like that.
DOUG: Where you going?

[ALARM BEEPlNG]

You little bitch!

Yo, no, l didn't do nothing!

Yeah, l know that.

Part of what you didn't do
is pay for the shoes.

Yo, yo, he gave them to us. Ask him.

Ask that brother there.
He said it was a gift.

ls that true?

Um....

Well, did you or did you not?

[SlGHS]

No. l didn't.

Let's go.

You're a dead man. You hear me?
You're a dead man!

Wait a minute. He fired you for that?

Yes. Right on the spot.

He didn't even hesitate.

-Kevin, l'm so sorry.
-Look, l mean, it is what it is.

l mean, who cares?

Like.... lt's fine.

What's it say?

-Some nonsense.
-What?

-Don't do that, it's bad luck.
-lt don't even matter.

You're right.

l don't wanna spoil all the good luck
l've been having.

You know what? Just take it, okay?

Come on, Stacie.

STAClE:
And eat your food.

JUNlOR: You can lean in the window a bit
more next time. Don't be scared of me.

And here you go. Appreciate it.

[SlNGlNG]

-Kev. What's happening?
-You tell me.

You came for the lottery too?

-You stood in that line?
-Yup.

-The machine just broke.
-What do you mean, it broke?

l just broke the machine.

You gotta come and play them numbers.

-How many tickets you need?

-Just one?
-Yeah, just one.

Ring me up for this Cherry Coke.

And let me get two beefjerkys.

Nasty combination.

And, yeah, play those numbers for me.

Give me this, give me this, give me this.

Here you go.

-All right.
-Enjoy this.

You sure you don't want one
for yourself?

Three hundred and seventy million.

No, man, that's not me. l don't really
do that whole lottery thing, man.

Three hundred-seventy million.
You can't be too cool for that.

Ticket?

-All right.
-Do it. There we go.

Give me some numbers.
l need numbers, l need numbers.

l wasn't, but....

People rushing me like l'm
taking a long time. Here you--

Oh, and then you pull out
the fortune cookie. Okay, that's cool.

Get your chang-wang numbers.

lf you win, you gonna put the money
in that hole in your shirt?

That what you gonna do? Walk safely.

[LAUGHlNG]

Watch out for the people.

You gonna come here
and ruin everybody day?

Your vibe is just ignorance today.

That's how you spell ignorance: Y-O-U.

WOMAN: Come on.
BENNY: Your house, right now.

Hold on. Oh, hold on.
Yo, Kevin. Kevin. Kev!

Yo, Kevin, man, you okay? You cool?

Yeah, man, what's up?

The neighborhood's talking.

What you mean, they're--?
Weren't nobody even there.

They said you set him up
and you snitched on him to the cops.

-Why'd you snitch on him?
KEVlN: l ain't snit--

-Everybody think l'm snitching?
-That's what they said.

Man. Damn!

Yeah, damn.

BENNY:
Shake it off, you can find another job.

[SPEAKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY]

TASHA: l don't play that voodoo shit.
You better get up out of here with that.

GRANDMA:

-Right.

-Hell, yeah. They already think you a snitch.

They'll think you a snitch and a liar.

Better move your hair-cutting ass back.

-No problem, bro.
-And that go for everybody else out here.

Y'all better start showing this man
some respect...

...and quit running around
acting like wild-ass animals.

KEVlN: Thank you.

Hell, yeah.
Hey, Kev, anything you want, man.

Pointing a gun at Stacie?

DEANGELO:
You know we love Stacie.

No. Y'all wrong.

Stop. Stop. Stop.

TASHA:

-What is all of this?
-What?

My entourage?

Look, it's just for protection.

Half these cats out here trying to kill me,

-True.
-Hey, look. Forget that.

You know where l got the numbers?

Boy, how you gonna win off my fortune

Your cut? You don't be hooking me up.

-When l come over and l get the kung pao--
-l hook you up all the time.

Yeah, with the sample.

[LAUGHlNG]

You don't even have to go
to design school.

You could start your own shoe company.

Yeah, l guess l could.

That is all you been talking about
since you were 9 years old. This is it, Kevin.

-You okay?
-Yeah, just....

l mean....

Man, l don't know, Stacie. Man, it's a lot.
lt's a lot. l'm not even gonna lie to you.

You're good.

-Oh. l'm worried now.
-Okay? You know.

Hey, Kevin.

Hi.

Hold on.

Okay.

KEVlN: What's up, Nikki?
-l owe you an apology.

and l been feeling horrible ever since.

Look, it's cool.

You know, l understand.

-l ain't tripping. lt's all good.
-No.

l don't think you do, Kevin.

l've always thought
that you were so fine.

Yesterday, when you came up to me,
l guess l just didn't know what to say.

What?

Wow. Heh.

l was hoping maybe you'd give me
a chance to make it up.

Are you busy tonight?

Hell, no, he ain't.

Good.

My mother's gonna be gone.
Maybe we can go out somewhere...

...and then later you can come back
and keep me company.

You'll let me do that?

l-- l mean--

Cool. Yeah, we can--

l promise, Kevin, you will never, ever...

[GRUNTSC

...ever forget tonight.

See you later.

BENNY: Later, if you want, you can

That's what you like?

Please tell me you did not
just fall for that.

That bitch is beyond trifling.

-Come on, Stacie.
BENNY: l smell jealousy.

-Jealousy is in the air.
-No, no, no. lt is so obvious.

Only reason she came over,
she heard about your ticket.

Wait. You saying my boy
ain't good enough...

...to get a girl like Nikki Swayze
without money?

No. What l'm saying is yesterday
she handed you a bag of shit, right?

Today, suddenly she wants to screw you.
ls that a coincidence?

Come on.

-Whatever. Do what you wanna do.
TASHA: Stace, don't be like that.

This is the church we are currently sitting in
right now, brothers and sisters. Look at it.

l had some Mexicans
working on that "chimley."

l got four of them at the Home Depot.

Jumped in the van
like they was gonna do it right.

They end up putting masking tape
all on top of the "chimley."

Help us, Lord.

Show them my next church.
Look at that! Oh, Lord.

This is the kind of church make you
wanna come and praise the Lord.

[SPEAKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY]

Make you wanna put something
in the plate.

And if we ain't got a plate, just put
what you gonna give me in my hand.

-Yes.
-This is my home.

MAN 4:
Oh, have mercy.

Many of you brothers and sisters didn't
know that l was living so humble, did you?

l sleep up here.

ln this room right here.

Grandma, don't you see
what's going on?

This is my vision. Look at that.

T.D. Jakes. Benjamin and Long.

Everybody's living like this.

Praise the Lord. Thank you, Jesus.

Why come l can't have a Jacuzzi?

Why come l can't eat shrimps and steak?

Lord, why come l can't have that?

-Did he ask you? No.
-Where he gonna get the money?

[CHEERlNGC

-He's not asking.
-That's not right.

Those sisters who need help,
that want to pray privately with me....

-Private.
-Tell it, pastor.

-My ex-wife.
CROWD: Ooh.

Goat-smelling ass,
built like a sack of laundry.

Fake Louis Vuitton purse.

She done let them Chinese
trick her nine times.

-Oh, yes.
-This is the wife God want me to have.

Praise the Lord.
Does she have a twin sister? Ha.

Tramp.

Do you get the vision that l'm trying
to tell you, ladies and gentlemen?

God works in mysterious ways.

God might not be there when you want him,
but he's always there when you want him!

Hm?

We got a miracle in the house today.

Kevin, please come up here.

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Kevin.
Kevin, come on. Put your hands together.

-l don't wanna go up there.
-Go up there and talk to the preacher.

That's my grandbaby.

Yeah, baby.

BENNY:
Kevin! Kevin!

Yo.

-Yo, he's coming.
-Who's coming?

-Jesus?
-No, not Jesus!

Lorenzo, he's out ofjail.
He was chasing me and he's coming.

KEVlN: What you want me to do?
BENNY: Just stand right there.

-Hey. Thank you.
-You got a gun?

-Y'all ready for a miracle?
-Yeah.

BENNY:
That's right.

Pastor is always talking about a miracle.

l wanna let y'all know the biggest sinner
of our time is coming to get saved.

Y'all give it up for Lorenzo.

[CROWD CHEERlNGC

[GRUNTlNG]

Go, go!

TAYLOR:
Who let that nigga out of jail?

Get off me.

Next person that touch me
about to get stabbed...

...l swear before God!

No, no, no!

Damn!

Look, man, l'm sorry, all right?
l didn't mean to set you up, l promise.

-You mean that Foot Locker thing?
-Yeah.

No, no, no, l'm over that, man.
l'm over that.

-You and me, we got different business.
-Okay.

[GRUNTlNG]

-l'm gonna need that lottery ticket now.
-Huh?

lf you don't back up off that boy
nice and slow...

...l'm gonna blow your head off quick.

LORENZO:
You know what l think?

l think you a little bitch.

Ain't never shot nobody
in your whole life.

[SQUEALlNG]

[GRUNTlNG]

Pull a piece on me, you better use it!

[TlRES SCREECHlNGC

DEANGELO: What's happening?
-Excuse me.

LORENZO:
Yo, come back here, man.

[CAR HORNS HONKlNG]

LORENZO:
Right there, right there!

Come on, come on!

-Come on!
-Hey.

LORENZO:
Get out my way!

MAN: Get out the way, get out the way.
WOMAN: You okay?

KEVlN:
Move! Move, move, move!

-Excuse me.
LORENZO: Get him, get him!

[WHOOPSC

Shit!

Oh, shit.

Leave the little man alone!

Hey.

Fuck!

l'll see you when l see you.

Look, l don't see Lorenzo and his boys,
so it look like you safe to go home now.

-Safe?
-Yeah.

You really think we safe? Huh?

Kevin, look. All you gotta do is
get through the next day and a half...

-...and we good.
-And then what?

Then you get your money.

ls this what having money feels like?
Huh?

Everybody asking me for something?

People l ain't talked to in years
calling my phone?

l don't want it, man.

l heard this quote once:

"Money don't change you,
it changes the people around you."

You understand that?

Come on, Kev. l heard this quote too.

We quoting now? We quoting now?

l got this quote:
"People gonna be people.

They gonna lie,
they gonna cheat and they gonna steal.

As long as you get yours,
you keep it moving."

-So let's go home.
-lt's not that easy, Benny. lt's not.

-Kev, how about this?
-What?

Let me hold onto it for you.

Let you hold onto what?

The ticket.

That case, if Lorenzo catches you,
you won't get jacked.

You too?

After what l just said to you?
And you hit me with this bullshit?

-lt ain't like that.
-What you mean, "lt ain't like that"?

-lt is like that. lt is!
-lt ain't like that.

-You losing it, man.
-You got the wrong one.

-You serious?
-Dead-ass serious.

Come on, Kev.

-l been your best friend since fifth grade.
-Act like it.

-Fifth grade!
-Act like it!

Ain't no way l'll let this money
compromise our friendship.

Okay.

You can have it.
You can have this shit, Kev.

You can have the whole thing.

l don't want it!

-l don't want none of this!
-What you got?

l'm up here losing my damn mind,
running up and down the streets for us!

-Ain't no "us" shit! Ain't no us, nigga!
-lt is us, Kev! lt is us!

-lt's everybody!
-What you talking about?

You ain't in my shoes,
you don't know.

-Look at this, look at us.
KEVlN: l'm not looking.

Look at our circumstances, man.
Look where we from!

l'm tired of this, man.

l'm sick of worrying about WlC cards!

l'm sick of worrying
about the government--

l can't eat!

l'm broke, nigga! l'm broke!

And you got the power
to change that, Kev.

Nobody else. You.

Kevin, if l had the money...

"lf."

...not only would l give back...

...l would change lives.

The sad thing is, you known me
for this long and you still don't get it.

Bust a move, homey.

[KNOCKlNG]

You want me to be honest?

That's why l'm here, right?

Look, you know l can't even stand
Benny half the time...

...but he is not a thief, and you know it.

lf anything, that boy is too loyal to you.

You probably hurt his feelings,
and l personally think you acted like an ass.

-And you need to tell him you're sorry.
-What?

That's the truth.

MAN [ON TVC:
--Central Bank on Wednesday....

What? You said you wanted me
to be honest, right?

KEVlN: Stacie.
-What's up?

lf you won the lottery,
what would you do?

Me?

l mean, you know...

...take care of my family, travel...

...finish school, all that good stuff.

But if l had your kind of money,
l'd give back.

Give people something to live for
instead ofjust living, you know?

Like, look at how some of these rappers
always talk about, "Shout out to my 'hood."

But what are they giving back
other than just shoutouts?

Thank you.

lt's cool, it's just a grilled cheese.

No, no. Not for the sandwich.

Just thanks for being there for me.

l mean that.

lt's cool.

l got you.

l appreciate it.

-But now l need you to tell me something.
-What's up?

What happened on your little date
with Nikki Swayze?

Say "l told you so."
All she wanted to be was my baby mama.

Wow, what?

Nikki, the no-class, gold-digging bitch.

l'm shocked.

l mean, but at least
you got what you wanted:

To tell all your boys you hit that.

Because l didn't.

God on my mama,
l ain't touched that girl.

Mm-hm.

l'm kind of glad l didn't too.

What do l look like?

Swapping swords
with half of the Fortune 500.

l'm straight.

And besides...

...that's not the kind of girl
l need anyway.

Oh, really? Who is the kind
of girl you need, then?

Can l be honest?

Ain't that why you came here?

The kind of girl l need is you.

Goodbye, Kevin. Goodbye.

What, you gonna kick me out?

You know what? l'm not interested
in being your second choice.

How long have we known each other?

Why did it take you so long
to tell me this?

Oh. After you and Nikki,
all of a sudden you wanna be with me?

Why'd it take you so long?
l'm not that girl, okay?

Don't get it--

--twisted.

-Hold on, hold on.
-What?

-Wait, hold on.
-What?

Wait.

Tst. Damn, girl, how many dudes
you done had up in your bed?

What? Don't try to play me.

lf you think we're doing this
without a condom, you're tripping.

What?

Nothing.

WOMAN:
Stacie!

-Oh, shit, it's my mama!
-Your mama?

STAClE: You gotta go.
-Damn, your mama?

-What?
STAClE: Come on.

-You gotta-- Get out! No!
-What? Let me go.

-Out where?
-Get out.

KEVlN: Out the window?
-Sorry. Yes.

-Careful.
KEVlN: Goddamn.

-Are you okay?
-l'm fine.

Please be careful. Okay.

-What?
-l love you.

l love you too.

Now go. Get down.

[GRUNTlNG]

Where am l?

Morning.

[GROANlNGC

Now, relax now, son, relax.

Don't worry about nothing,
you just got knocked the fuck out.

Put these black-eyed peas on your jaw.
Take down the swelling.

What you talking about?
Man, are you crazy?

Ain't nobody knock me out.

Hold on.

Wait a minute.

Where's my ticket?

l don't know. They probably stole it.

That's why you was knocked out.

-Yeah.
-Damn!

Yeah, that about sums it up.

Wait a minute.

How do l know you didn't knock me out
yourself and stole my ticket?

The fact of the matter is Lorenzo
and his boys was out there walking.

l heard them talking and laughing.

l get up,
l look and see you stretched out.

Now, it wasn't easy...

...but l pick you up and l tote you in here
and put you on that couch.

And you talk to me like that?

l ain't been out this apartment
in 22 years and l did it for you.

You did that?

What l wanna know is,
did you sign the back of the ticket?

Why would l sign the ticket?

lf you didn't sign the back of the ticket,
it's not valid.

-The cops is not gonna believe you.
-No, no.

Man, bump that!

Look, he stole my ticket.

l should be able to go right back to him
and get it back, straight up!

Okay, tiger. Okay.

But look, Lorenzo's a premature
crack-baby felon, okay?

You gotta be careful.

What other choice do l have?

Well, l been thinking.

The same thing got you into this mess...

-...might just get you out.
-Man, l'm not trying to hear that.

-Wait, wait, wait--
-What?

-Where you going?
-l'm out, man.

Hold up.

You took my sneakers?

l was thinking about it.

But they wasn't on your feet
when l dragged you in here.

You wouldn't have did nothing.

Protect yourself at all times.

Whatever!

Protect yourself at all times.

GRANDMA:
Don't do this with this boy.

l'm too old for this.

Whoo! Thank you, Jesus!
Thank you, Jesus!

Thank you, Jesus! Oh.

Where the hell you been, boy?
l been worried sick about you.

Nobody know where you is, you didn't call.
What happened?

And where are your shoes?

-l got robbed!
-What?

Lorenzo took everything, all right?

Look, he took my ticket,
he took my shoes....

Oh. No, l'm calling the police.

Chill out. Don't do that.

What they gonna do?
l didn't sign the back of the ticket.

Boy, l told you. You'd given me that ticket,
l'd put it here, wouldn't nobody get to it.

Look, l got 24 hours to go claim
what's mine, all right?

And that's what l'm about to go do.

That's how it is.

Oh, hell, no. l'm calling somebody.

Stacie?

RAY-RAY:
Watch it. Watch.

-Come on, come on. Bet back, bet back.
-What up, B?

Nothing.

Chilling with my real friends.
What's up with you?

RAY-RAY: That ain't no dirty dice.
That's my money on the ground, fool.

Let me holler at you real quick, man.

RAY-RAY:
Your drawers is dirty, not my dice.

Come on, man.

What's up, Kev?

Look, man.

l'm sorry about what happened
on the roof the other day.

l mean that, man.

Look, Kev, l know my approach to life
might be a little off...

...but just know my intentions are good.

-We boys?
-We boys.

All day.

Kevin, you got that Bobby Brown look
in your eyes, man. What you doing?

Where the hell you been, man?
You harder to find than a job.

Man, like you would know.
You ain't had a job since Thriller.

-Where Lorenzo at?
DEANGELO: What?

Lorenzo Mack?

l saw him yesterday when he was
racing you up and down the street.

[LAUGHlNG]

Man, listen. When y'all see Lorenzo,
let him know l'm looking for his ass.

-Tell him that.
BENNY: Don't say nothing.

Kevin....

-Wait-- ls he looking for--?
-He wants to find Lorenzo?

You seen Lorenzo?

BENNY: Calm down.
-Shut up, man.

-Little girl, you seen Lorenzo?
BENNY: My friend's crazy.

-This is crazy.
-Move!

STAClE:
He's not out here.

-Kev, look, he's bigger than you.
-Y'all seen Lorenzo?

-Don't mind him.
KEVlN: Hey, where you at?

Man, bring your ass outside!

Talking all that shit! Where you at now?

-Kevin, just calm down.
-Shut up!

KEVlN: Right there.
-Don't get your ass kicked.

KEVlN:
l got your ass now!

-Boy, what the hell's wrong with you?
-All right.

You think because you got money,
you can just knock people down? Huh?

You want ice cream?
Get in line like everybody else.

-l don't want no damn ice cream!
BENNY: lt's good. Look, good as new.

-What's wrong with you? Get off me!
BENNY: Kevin!

Damn.

Hey.

Just the man l wanted to see.
Kevin, take a ride with me.

Few things l wanna talk over.

-lt's all right if l don't?
-No, not really.

Get in the car.

-Okay, Kevin, l'm coming with you.
-Come on.

Stay right there.

First of all, let me apologize for that
incident outside the church the other day.

l mean, that was entirely my fault.

l should've never let you out of my sight.

From now on...

...wherever you go...

...l go.

Speaking of the church...

...is Jimmy the Driver gonna be all right?
ls he gonna pull through?

-He'll live.
-Okay.

He won't be on solid food for a while...

...and he probably will never
father children...

...but, hey, what can you do?

Ahem. Sweet Tee...

...how would you feel
if somebody owed you money--

Not me.

--and they couldn't pay you back?

Off the top of my head?

l'd probably, uh...

...saw his legs off at the kneecaps...

...and then grind them
into hamburger meat.

And then l'd feed them to
my two 1 00-pound bullmastiffs.

Then l would force that guy
to watch them eat it.

[LAUGHlNG]

That's pretty gnarly shit, ain't it?
Yeah, that's dastardly, l know it.

l saw that in the Philippines,
that's what gave me the idea.

Yeah, you ain't never heard a man scream
until you've heard him scream like that.

You've never heard a man throw up
the way l'm gonna throw up right now.

Not in my Bentley.

-Damn it, get out!
-All right.

SWEET TEE:
Close my door.

Try to feel better.

l'll be around keeping my eye on you.
And remember...

...wherever you go, l go.

Let's go.

-He's gonna kill me.
-He said that?

No, not exactly.
He said he was gonna cut my legs off...

...then feed them to the dogs.

Don't pump it up. He said
he'd cut you off at the kneecaps.

Kevin, you have to give back
all his money.

lt ain't that simple.

l spent it.

-What?
-Yeah.

How did you spend $1 00,000
in one day?

lt's not hard as you might think.

l got some earrings.

You're just gonna have to return
all that stuff you bought.

The same way you got into this mess...

...is the same way you're gonna
have to get yourself out of it.

What?

Nothing. lt's just that that's
the same thing Mr. Washington told me.

-Mr. Washington, the serial killer?
-Exactly.

Stop talking to him.
We're already in enough trouble.

Stop, all right?
Because he's not a serial killer.

Wait a minute.

lt was Semaj.

-lt was Semaj!
BENNY: What about Semaj?

No. That's why l'm in
this mess right now.

Because of him.
He told everybody about my ticket.

l'm not following.
What does Semaj have to do with it?

Get up! We gotta leave, now.

Yo, man, if you're trying to do
what l think you gonna do...

...you must be out your damn mind.

So if the one he stole was fake...

...what was your whole nervous
breakdown about earlier today?

Running all over town,
cursing Lorenzo's name...

...knocking folks over...

...and ruining ice cream cones?

Had to make it look real, right?

Even had you fooled.

You.

What?

Slow down and tell me that
one more time.

He did what now?

[CHATTERlNG]

MAN 1 :
Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby.

Man, that is the aroma of the beef.
Y'all just hating.

Hell, no. l'm going vegetarian.

Did you make the potato salad too?

STAClE:
Kevin, you want something to drink?

No, l'm all right. l'm cool.

TASHA: Hey, this my mama recipe.
Y'all better back off.

LORENZO:
You think you slick?

You little bitch.
Think you gonna get over on me?

Oh, man. Oh, come on, Lorenzo.

You see how big this nigga look
right now?

lt's a family barbecue.
Grab a plate, get something to eat, all right?

We got potato salad, get you a piece
of chicken. Chill out, you know--

Oh, it's that type of party? Okay.
lt's that type of party.

MAN 2: Come on, Kev, throw one on him.
KEVlN: What's up?

LORENZO: First, l'm about to tell you
what's gonna go down.

First, l'm gonna beat your ass
till l get tired.

And l ain't never gonna get tired.

Then l'm gonna take that ticket,
the real ticket, and walk up out of here.

Look, l'm gonna tell you like this, man.

You want my ticket?

You gonna have to take my ticket, dog.
Straight up.

WOMAN 1 :
Be a man. That's right. That's right, Kev.

You gonna have to back up, Lorenzo.

lt ain't going down like that today.

You gonna have to back up, man,
before l bust a cap in your ass, man.

Shoot me, "man."

Get over here.

Cognac, nigga?

Not the homeboy.

Kev, l'm gonna let you handle that.

SWEET TEE:
Watch out.

Oh, what now?

You know who l am?

-He don't know.
-Yeah, l know who you are.

Then you must know l don't play.

Now, this young man...

...happens to be my business partner
and a close personal friend of mine.

l think he's about tired of you
harassing him.

And frankly, so am l.

Look, l ain't got no beef with you.

This is between me and him.

But you do need to know...

...that he's gonna get
his ass whupped today.

And l'm gonna leave with that ticket.

Now, you see, that's the problem
with young folk today.

Absolutely no courtesy.

No respect!

Ooh!

Damn! Took all day
to make that potato salad!

Now, y'all can keep on partying
or go home.

There ain't gonna be no fight here today.

That's it.

Look at this punk ass.

And y'all said he was supposed to be
some kind of a tough guy.

[CROWD GASPS]

[SCREAMlNG]

You know what l'd do
with a bitch like you in my "cellie"?

Make you snuggle up with me at night.

And l squeeze your balls.

l squeeze.

And l squeeze!

MAN 3:
Oh, man!

Oh, hell, no. This nigga's some kind
of goddamn superthug.

-Tee! Get up, Tee.
WOMAN 2: Go home, Lorenzo!

Now, where were we?

Oh, snap.

MAN 4: Come on, Kev.
MAN 5: Yeah, man, hit him back!

My grandmama hit harder than you.

Get back.

-That's right, kid. Whup his ass.
-That's right.

Come on, man. Come on.

MAN 6:
Jesus, l can't--

MAN 7: Stay down!
WOMAN 3: Just stay down.

LORENZO:
l gotta give it to you.

You got a lot of heart.

But heart only gets you so far, son.

WOMAN 4: Don't give it to him, Kevin.
LORENZO: What say we do this old school?

WOMAN 5:
Yo!

Pick a number between one and 1 0.

Pick!

Three.

All right. That's how many seconds you got
to hand it over before l start blasting.

-Come on.
-Counting down.

Three. Two.

All right.

WOMAN 6: Lorenzo, you should be ashamed!
-l was hoping l'd get to use this.

[GROANSC

You know what?
l'm gonna hold onto both of these.

Just in case...

...you got a little funny with the tickets.

Nice doing business with you.
Oh, before l forget....

Bitches didn't fit anyway.

MAN 8:
Say, young blood.

You like that, huh?

That's good work.

Somebody read him a bedtime story.

Mr. Washington?

[CROWD CHEERlNGC

You're the man, Mr. Washington.

MAN 9:
Yeah, Mr. Washington!

WOMAN 7:
He's a bad mother-- Shut your mouth.

Didn't l tell you?
l hear everything. Everything.

Come on, out of here, Bobby Brown.
l know you got it.

Now, lookie here, boy.
Keep ahold of these things.

You put them in a safe place. You hear?

-All right?
-All right.

Safe place.
There's a lot of crazies around here.

All right.

[CHUCKLESC

Still got it.

You let them know l still got it, right?
Let them know.

Any of you young punks
want your ass whupped, step on in.

[CROWD LAUGHlNG]

-They don't want none.
-No, they don't want none.

Let them know l still got it.

Damn. Mr. Washington's pretty cool
for a serial killer.

Baby. Kevin.

-Unh. Stacie.
-Are you okay?

-Kev.
-Damn.

-Please sign the ticket.
-Yes.

KEVlN:
Well, here it go.

REPORTER:
Yes, you heard right.

He got the numbers from
a fortune cookie at the Hunan Grill.

So a month after graduating
high school...

...Kevin Carson is the youngest winner
in the Mondo Millions lottery.

Asked what he'd do with the money...

...he said he'd start
his own line of sneakers...

...and "Give a little something
to the Fillmore."

People not from here
may not understand.

This is a community.
This is our community.

As long as we stay together...

...no matter how many times
life knocks us down, we can't lose.

See, that's why l wanna
make this park safe for all kids.

And to make sure
that it stays that way...

...l would like to introduce
the head of security:

Mr. Jerome "Thump" Washington.

Please, everybody.

[CROWD CHEERlNGC

Hey, look, any of you young punks
wanna get knocked out, just let me know.

[LAUGHlNG]

Oh, look. You wanna do the honors?

-Don't mind if l do.
-All right. Here we go.

WASHlNGTON:
There it is.

All right, all right.

Now, as you guys already know,
this is just the beginning.

Myself...

...my CEO...

...my future attorney...

...we wanna take this to the next level.

That's right. That's why we started
the Carson Foundation...

...which helps fund our own businesses,
grant scholarships, and better yet...

...help change people's lives.

-And on another note--
-Yo.

Thank you.
l'm sorry, but we gotta cut out early.

l gotta get to work so we have to go.
Come on, Kev.

Let me holler at my grandma.
Grandma, you're not coming?

Oh, child, please.
After l just got my hair done?

lt's okay, we can get it done.

l don't see nothing in the Bible
about no helicopter.

GRANDMA: So, wait, no, no, no. Listen.
You duck your head down.

That thing got them blades on it!
l know about it.

We really have to go.

-Go. Take care of your business.
-Love you.

Thank you. Hair looks amazing.

Oh, hush up, boy. Handle your business.

-Thanks, everybody. Thank you!
-See you!

Come on, Kev.

Kev, don't ever change, baby.
You good. That's right.

Hey, Mr. Washington.

Hey there, Miss Carson. How you doing?

How you doing?

Hm.

BENNY:
Time is money.

KEVlN:
Let's fly, baby, fly.

BENNY:
