You're not with

And you're not

and show up to
church Sunday morning

telling me that you
were reading your Bible.

MAN: My God.
Preach. Preach.

You ain't got to

"You ain't got to lie, Craig.
You ain't got to lie."

PASTOR JONES:
And, my God

instills a moral compass
within all of us.

MAN: Yes!
ALL: Yes.

And that moral compass
tell us what is right
and what is wrong.

And I don't know
if some of y'all
need a tune-up,

but your compass is off.

Yes!

The gauge is broken.

You need to pay
a mechanic a visit.

Get your gauge right.

Need a little more juice.
MAN: That's right.
That's right.

I got the juice!

MAN: Yes!
Jesus...

Hallelujah.
ALL: Hallelujah.

I got the juice.

Yes, you do.

So today,
this morning, beloved,

I wanna really instill
on you a very,
very important message.

MAN: Preach. Preach.

And that message is,
that you will
reap what you sow.

Wake up.

Amen.
Praise the Lord.

Praise Jesus.
Praise Jesus.

I cannot judge you,

but the ultimate judge...

I'll leave you all to it.

And I'll see

Yes, Pastor.
Yes, sir.

KATHERINE: That's right.

Now, Sister Katherine?
Yes.

I heard through
the grapevine that
you are the one

providing the baked goods.
Oh, yes.

Now, is that true?
That's true.

Because we are
countin' on you.

Oh, girl...
(WHISPERS) "Provide
baked goods"?

I am bringing
lemon and cherry pies.

Cherry pie!
(LAUGHING)

Well, speakin' of pies...

Yes, he has.

Well, if only I

Mind your manners.

That's okay.
That's just boys being boys.

Well, anyway, I will see you

on Wednesday. Amen.
Yes.

Have a blessed week.
You, too.

God is good.

KATHERINE: All the time.
All the time, sister.
BEATRICE: All the time.

She was all like...
That should be

Did she, Ma?

Yeah, baby.
She changed your diapers.
Mmm-hmm.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Hey, baby.

Hey, Momma.

So how was your day?

Long.

Got paid, though.

That's good.

It's gonna be
tight around here
for the next few months.

My damn schedule's been cut.

On both jobs?
Mmm-hmm.

That's why I asked
your lazy ass brother
to get a job and pitch in.

I'm not playin' with him.
He better get a job.

Well, until he does,
I can get a second job.

And mess up your
partial scholarship?

Momma...
No!

No.

You just keep
doing what you do

and let me work
out the household.

Come on, girl.
You gonna make me late.

I'm coming!

Okay.

Where are we goin',
to the club or to class?

Now, girl,

Well, desperate
times calls for
desperate measures.

Are we ready?
We're ready.

Let's go.

CASHIER: Okay, that will be

$1,267.23.

I only have $337.15.

It appears your mother is
already on a payment plan.

What does that mean?

It means there's
nothing I can do.

Unless the bill
is paid in full,

your power is gonna be
shut off tomorrow.

Listen, miss,
I'm a college student,
that's all I have.

I cannot let my
mom's lights be cut off.

I'm willing to
take the $337.15

if you promise
that you will not
miss one payment.

Yeah, I promise. I won't.

CASHIER: I mean it.

Thank you.

Ugh. No.
Not that.

Hi, Carmen.
Hey, Michael.

First of all,
I've never been sensible.

Second of all,

You gonna tell on me?
You gonna tell?

No.
Exactly.

Plus, you need

Are you sure
I should do this?

What you got to lose?

My dignity.

You lost that at

Come on.

Here's where we change.
Grab a spot

spoiled and bratty,

but it's good money.
(CHUCKLES)

Well, congratulations.

Thank you.
(CHUCKLES)

Hey, Ma.

What is this?

It's the money
that I left for you.

I know what it is.

Where the hell
did it come from?

I asked Chris and he
didn't know either.

Work. It's from work,
Ma.
Work?

What do you think,
I'm stupid?

I'm your mother.
You go and leave
me $300 in cash

and you wanna tell me
that it's from work?

I did overtime
last week, Ma.

Yeah, right.

I don't want
no drug money
in my house, Michael.

Not to put my two cents in,
but I gotta agree with Mom.

We was raised
better than that, man.

It's not drug money, Chris...
It's not drug money, Ma.
I promise.

(CELLPHONE RINGS)
Mmm-hmm.

Answer it.

Hello?

What's up, bro?

Hey.

PRINCETON ON PHONE:
Are you comin' in tonight?

Yeah.
Good.

I've put together
a closing routine
with all the dancers.

Figured it be a good
way to close out
the show every night.

You want me in it?
Yep, you got that right.

Did you take any
dance classes yet?

Got your routine down?
Not yet.

Look, the guys
get in at 7:00.
I'm at the club now.

Just come down and I'll
show you some stuff.

All right. I'm gonna change.
I'll be there in 40 minutes.

Okay.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Work, right?

Mmm-hmm.

I did not know
what to say.

She started drilling me
and drilling me,
"Get out of my house."

I was scared, man.

All that crap you told me,
you couldn't
think of anything?

I couldn't come
up with nothing.
She was right in my face.

She had the
I'mma-put-your-ass-out face.

You're an idiot, Chris.

Hey! We working tonight?

You're here a little early.

Yeah. Yeah.

I just need
a minute of your time.

What's up?
It's about
the other day.

Clearly this is how
I make my money, Princeton.

You gotta put me
back up on the roster.

You still on that?
Yeah. I'm still on that.

You know,
I go on right
after Rude Boy,

while those
chicks are still open.

This is how I
make my money, man.
Stop.

This ain't the United Nations.
We ain't negotiating
no peace treaty.

It is what it is.

My man.

All right.
Let's see
what you've got.

Just start dancing?

Yeah.

All right, just like.

(PRINCETON CHUCKLES)

No, no, no.
This ain't the club.
This ain't the club.

PRINCETON: Mike,
you've got natural talent.

But it's those
moves that keeps
those ladies

digging in their purses.
(CHEERING)

MICHAEL: What do you
want me to do?

Okay, okay.
We work it.

Control.

We sell fantasy, not sex.

Wait, what's
the difference.

Well, sex has an ending.

What these women
want is fantasy.

And if you're good,
that fantasy never ends.

They keep
coming back for more.

Be in control of it.

So, rope, rope,

pull, pull, pull.

PRINCETON: Hold 'em,
caress 'em, whisper to 'em.

We want them wet.

You know,
they don't like sissy boys.

They want real men.

Studs. Strong, solid.

Be sensual.

Give them what they
can't get at home.

But never forget
this is a business.
Never get personal.

You rock it. Bam!

PRINCETON: The harder
you work, the more
they'll respond.

Bam. Bam.

PRINCETON: And always
end with a money shot.

In the eyes, in the eyes.

Look purposeful.
Like if I see her...

Yes.
...and I look at
her and I spot her

and I'm sort of
just dancing like...
That's what I'm talking about.

Yes, sensual.

(INAUDIBLE)

Roll, pop. Roll, pop.

And roll. Roll.

Rude Boy,
start with your head first.

Head first, in with the...

Boss, I know that already.

Mike, show him how to do it.

Show him. Go, go.
Really, boss.

PRINCETON: Head first,
head first. Head, hip.

Head, hip.

That's all I'm sayin'.
That's all I'm sayin'.

You up front for a reason.

You're supposed to be
leading everybody, okay?

Yo, how many years
I've been doing this, boss?

Tell me. So you
should know, right?

Let's get the count.

Let's get the count.
Five, six, seven and...

Roll, pop. Roll, pop.

(CHEERING)

Hold on.

Push this back.
There we go.

Don't you think
it's time you
get yourself a nice car?

Patience, patience.
I'm working on it.

What about you?
I don't see any
keys in your hand?

Besides biking is
excellent cardio.

So...

I got you something.

What is it?

Open it and see.

I wanted to get you
something special.

I love it, but you
didn't have to do this.

I know,
but I wanted to.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

(CARMEN MOANING)

You know I
never felt like this
about anybody before?

Me either.

PRINCETON: Yes, ma'am.
So I got you down for 25.

Party? Yeah.

The 23rd. Got ya.

There it is.

(SIGHS)

So you wanted
to talk to me?

You know I've been
traveling, right?
Yeah, I know.

Yeah, so I got a proposal.

I show up one
week out the month,

I bring the
ladies out, of course,

I get half the door.

Come on, man,
we've been
through this before.

You know every club
from here to Memphis
want me as their feature.

Right, baby?
They love you, Pharaoh.

Oh, yeah.

Look, I can't do
that kind of split.

Especially now,
with the economy hurting.

PHARAOH: Come on, man.
The economy?

Look, I show up,
I bring my fan base out

I get half the door.
Period.

Can't do.

That's it?
That's it.

All right,
well, next time I'm in town
I dance somewhere else.

And, yeah, that kid
you got, that new kid.

I like him.

But he'll never be me.

No. He'll be better.

You got jokes.

Come on, baby.

DJ CLEOPATRA: Yeah!

The boy's on
point every night!

The one and only Playa!

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(CHEERING)

Girl, you better get
that child support.

You're gonna do
this at my job?

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Security!

WOMAN: Give me a second.
Give me a second.

(CROWD BOOING)

You gotta
get out there.

You know
what I'm saying?

That fool ain't
worth bullshit, man.
Get it? Bullshit.

Man, you boys
been killing 'em
the last couple of weeks.

Hey, Sucka Chocolate!

Sexy Chocolate.

Ain't nothing
sexy about you.

Hey, man,
I'mma need you to get
out of my brother's face.

PRINCETON: Hey,
hey, hey. Seriously.

Hey! What the
hell is going on?

Chill, man.

Look, it's this fool, man.

Getting in my
face for nothing.

That's the last
incident out of you, man.

Don't you mess
up my money.

But...
You're on in ten minutes.

I got four sets
ahead of me, Princeton.

Chocolate's closing?
MAN: What?

You're picking
this sucka over me?

It's nothing personal, bro.
Supply and demand.

ALL: Sexy Chocolate!
Sexy Chocolate!

Sexy Chocolate!

Sexy Chocolate!

(ALL CHEERING)

(HIP HOP MUSIC PLAYING)

Man, that boy is bad!
He got them
bitches hooked.

Let me see.

Yeah, eso, bro.

We got a new star, dawg!

Eso! Eso.
Yeah, yeah,
that was hot.

Yo, it's Adrian.

I got some work for you.

I don't know what's going on
with Michael, Pastor.

What do you mean?

Lately, he's just had
some strange behavior,

that I can't
put my finger on.

Well, it could be
as simple as

you've got a young
man on your hands.

You know,
with social
media these days...

No, no.

No, it's not that.

Have you tried
talking to him?

Not really.

Pastor, ever since
his father passed away,

it feels like he's got
to be the man of
the house or something.

Well, that's understandable.
I mean, he's a young man.

He may feel
a need to protect you.

Especially if he's
a younger sibling.

He's been bringing
a lot of money in the house.

He works.
Could that be it?

Pastor, I can't have my son
running with the wrong group.

(CRYING) I can't stand
to lose my baby.

I'll talk to him.

And I'll see
what I can find out.
And look...

He's a good boy,
Sister Katherine.

Yes, he is.

It'll be okay.

Thank you, Pastor.

I have to say, Mr. McCoy,
that these recent
grades of yours

are quite disappointing.

You have received D's
in the last two quizzes,

and you missed
your report last week.

I know,
I've just been, you know,

not really focusing.

I don't know
what's going on
with you these days.

Something you
wanna talk about?

Uh...

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

How an A grade student

degenerated this quickly
in a matter of weeks.

I thought
you like French.

(SPEAKING BROKEN FRENCH)

Can I be honest,
Professor Lyons?

Sure.

I'm having second thoughts
about this whole
francais thing.

It's a lot harder
than I figured.

Harder than you figured?

Looking for
something easier?

A quicker payoff?

Well, let me tell
you something, son,

you better find
a solution very quickly.

You're gonna fail this
class and this may
affect your chances

of graduating all together.

Am I clear?

Oui, monsieur.

KATHERINE: Son?

Hey, Mom.

You're home early.

Lately it's been 3:00,
4:00 in the morning.

Yeah, I was just hanging out
with a friend.

A friend?

Is everything okay?

I found something
out that you have
forgotten to tell me.

Surprised I know?

(SCOFFS)

You could've at
least had the decency
to tell me first.

I didn't know
how you'd react.

Guess you forgot
I was young once, huh?

(SIGHS)

What's her name?

Excuse me?

The girl that
you've been getting
all fly boogie for?

What's her name?

Oh.

Carmen.

The girl from
my French class.

Are you in love?

Mom.

Don't "Mom" me.
I asked you a question.

I love you.

At least you got
some damn sense.

Do me a favor,

don't be leaving these
laying around my house.

Yes, ma'am.

(LOUD SIGH)

(MUSIC PLAYING)
(CHEERING)

I could've managed Akon
but I felt like my brother

needed me more,
you know what I mean?

MICHAEL: Chris, let's go.

Yo, you a bona
fide star here, man.

Magic Mike ain't
got nothing on you!

Magic Mike
is a movie, Chris.

You need to
learn your history.

See, Elvis Presley
stole rock and roll
from black people.

Then Eminem stole rap.

It's why I
bootleg his damn albums,
you know that.

And then Magic Mike
trying to steal stripping.

What?
Yeah.

This is our shit, man.
We started this
back in Africa.

Naked, that's why we stay
naked all the time.

You don't see
Matthew McConaughey's ass

running through
the jungle, did you?

Chris, stop. All right?
Have you?

We just need the money,
all right?

I'm just happy that
our lights ain't being cut
off every two days.

True, lights is nice.

So, when are you
gonna tell Carmen?

I don't know, man.
I'm just waiting
for the right time.

The right time?
Like, "Hey, you
enjoying your sandwich?

"By the way, I'll be naked."
That's how
you're gonna tell her?

I don't know, man.
Come on.

Can I... Can I...

I got some...
Can you go by yourself?

You ain't
got no car, Chris.

I don't need no car,
when you got the playa!

Good job tonight.

You got some
groupies over there
waiting for you.

Oh, my God,
can I have
your autograph?

Yeah.

Thank you. (CHUCKLES)
Yeah.

Can you come over to my place
and give me a private show?

Uh...

I have a girlfriend.

Get him!
(GROANING)

Hold on, hold on,
hold on.

Save some for me!
Save some for me!

Pick his ass up!

Hell no!

Hold him up!
Hold him up!

I got him.

Take him out.

Fuck your mama!
Come on, one more time.

Let's go.

MAN: Fuck out of here.

(SHOUTING)

(STRAINING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(GROANS)

PRINCETON: Mike,
what happened?

Call an ambulance.

Shit.

Guys, hold on.

Mike, whatever you need,
you call me.

Make sure
the hospital
bills the club.

You know who
it was don't you?

I suspect, yes.
But did you see anybody?

No, I didn't
see anyone.

We have to go.

Call me.

I can't believe
this happened to him.

You don't remember
the name of the club?

No, not really.

Why wouldn't he tell me
he was going out tonight.

I don't know.

That's foul.

Where's my baby?

Where is he, Chris?

They say he okay,
all right.

I haven't seen him yet,
but the doctors say

he has a gash
and he gotta get a few
stitches, that's all.

KATHERINE: Well, the police
didn't tell me much.

They said he got assaulted.

Yeah, he got jumped
in a parking lot
by some thugs.

Mom, this is...

Oh, I'm Carmen,
by the way.

Nice to meet you.

Michael's friend.
He mentioned you.

And this is DeeDee,
my friend.

Nice to meet you.

Hey.

Where were you, Chris?

Well, I was...

Is there a
Katherine McCoy here?

I'm his mother.

Thank you.

(SOFTLY) Hey there, son.

Hey, Ma.

Look what they did to you.

Did you tell the police
what happened?

I told them
everything I remember,
but it was dark.

Where did this happen?

In the parking lot.

Chris and I went to a club,

and they jumped me.

Where was Chris?

He left before me.

(COUGHS)

Well, he's...

He's in the lobby
and your girlfriend is, too.

Wait, Carmen's here?

Yeah.

You wanna talk to her?

Yeah, sure. Send her in.

So?

Is he okay?

KATHERINE: Yeah.

Just a few bruises.

He wants to see you.

I should have been
there for him, Ma.

I shouldn't have
left the club early.

It's all right, honey.
It's not all your fault.

Hey!

You okay?

The prettiest
nurse I've ever seen.

(CHUCKLES)

Come on. Don't be scared.
I'm feeling better.

It's just a little bruising.
Doctor said I can leave soon.

Why didn't you
tell me you were
going out last night?

It was a last minute thing.
Just for work.

Work?
Mmm-hmm.

Chris told me you
guys were at the club

and this happened
in the parking lot.

Yeah, that's right,
that's what happened.

I got out of work
and then I met Chris
at the club and this happened.

You need to rest
and stop working
yourself so hard.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Thank God
you're okay though.

I'll call you later?

Yeah, okay.

All right.

Hey, Carmen.
Yeah, babe?

Nothing.

Okay.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

PRINCETON: Oh, oh, oh.

There he is.

My superstar.
Welcome back, brother.

Man, you look
like a million bucks,
look at you.

Yeah, man, I just
want to thank you
for helping me out

with all the medical
bills and stuff.

Don't even trip.
You made that back
for us like 20 times over.

You know,
it ain't been
the same without you.

These women have
been complaining.

So when you coming back?

Tonight.
Tonight?

Yeah, I'm low on cash, man,
just bought a new car.

Well, we're back
in business then.

So nobody took
my locker, right?

No, it's just
the way you left it.

My man.

Yo, man. What up?

What you doing, boy?

Ready to get money, baby.

All right.
All right.

DJ CLEOPATRA:
He's back, y'all!

Let's welcome
Sexy Chocolate home, y'all!

Now, ladies, pull out

Come on, ladies!

Yes, it's your one and only

Sexy Chocolate!

(ALL CHEERING LOUDLY)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

How you doing?

Hi.

I'm Sexy Chocolate's
manager.

Cool.

He's cute.
He can dance.

He sure can.

Teach him
a lot of his moves.

Where do you work?

I don't work.
I'm a student.

Student?

Maybe you should learn
about this right here.

Get you in free,
so bring your girlfriends,

check out some
more Sexy Chocolate.

Cool. All right.

I like free.
I like you.

You know that I love
spending time with you
over everything else.

But you're working
tonight, right?

Yeah, I got to put in
some overtime this week.

Baby, why are you
working so hard?

Babe, I gotta
make some money.

Well, I'm confused.

I don't get how you can
spend every night,

all night with children.

Yeah, I guess I got
a real talent for that.

All right, well,
I'll call you later?

Yeah, but before 8:00.

Yes, I forget.

You got to put
the kids to bed

and you don't wanna
wake them.

Exactly.
I'm sorry about that.

You got a strawberry
bubble gum?

Yeah.

Talk to you later.

Carmen!
Wait, wait, wait.
Carmen, wait.

CARMEN: Hey,
what's up, girl?

Hey.
Hey.

I'm hitting the study lab.
What you doing?

You ever meet
my girl Cynthia?
No!

Hi, nice to meet you.
It's my pleasure.

So what're you
doing tonight?

I just got to study.
What's up?

Well, there's this club
I wanna check out.

And it's free.
You should come.

No, you guys,
I really got to study.

Come on, it'll be fun.

It'll be
girls night out.
MAN: What?

Rude. I don't wanna be
with y'all anyway.

Y'all are late.
Excuse me.

DEEDEE: Listen,
it's a strip club.

It's a male strip club.
You should come.
It's gonna be fun.

You know I never
been to one of
those before, right?

Come on.
This guy,
he invited me out.

And he wants me
to go for free.

We'll go in for free,
drink free,
we're good.

And we'll get dirty!

Okay, fine.

Yeah, good.

Okay, but I can't
stay out too late.

That's fine.

Cool, we can

(HIP HOP MUSIC PLAYING)

(WOMEN CHEERING)

(HOOTING)

Oh, my God,
look at all
these women in here.

He is so into me.

Girl, just watch.

DJ CLEOPATRA: Hello!

(ALL HOOTING)

Okay, y'all,
it's that time again.

He's back in tip top shape.

The one and only

Sexy Chocolate!

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Carmen!

I knew I recognized
you from this flier.

Sexy Chocolate!

Beatrice?

Yeah! I'm having a party.
Can I hire you?

Sexy Chocolate!
I know him!

MAN: It's crazy loco.

Are you sure
that was him,

because it was really
dark in there,

and I couldn't
really see nothing.

I know my boyfriend,
DeeDee.

That's really
foul though.

Like, why wouldn't
he even tell you
something like that?

I don't know.

Hey, yo,
I need to talk to you.

Listen, I ain't
got time for this
right now, all right?

Yo, you need to leave.

Leave what?

Leave this fucking club.

Adrian, what're you
talking about, man?

There's no room
in this place
for both of us.

One of us got to go,
and that's you.

Fine.

I'm done anyway.

Mikey boy!
Mike, chill out.

Chill out, man.

Yo, man!
He ain't worth it.

Get off me!

Yo, take him home, bro.

Mike! Mike!
Hey, wait, man.
Mike, calm down.

Calm down.
Come on, man.
Just relax, man.

You cool?
Am I cool?

No. Honestly,
Princeton, I'm done.

I'm done
with all of this.

I out!

Wait, wait, wait.
What're you talking about?

This is crazy, man.

I'm losing everything
that's important to me

'cause of this place.

I just came for
the extra cash, man.

This place
is out of control.

Hey, Ma.

Hey, son.

What're you still doing up?

(EXHALES LOUDLY)

I couldn't sleep.

So, I decided to make
some hot chocolate

and clip some coupons.

You want some?

No, I'm good.
Okay.

Hey, Ma, I got something
I got to tell you.

I haven't been
entirely honest with you.

I haven't been
entirely honest with

a lot of people about
what I've been doing.

Ma, I've been dancing.

Dancing?

Stripping.

I'm a male exotic dancer.

And I work at
the Chocolate City Strip Club.

And I just so happen to be

one of the featured
dancers there.

Okay...

That's where all the cash
has been coming from.

And Chris is my manager.

Do you have sex
with these women?

No, it's nothing like that.
It's just dancing.

And it's not entirely nude.

Thank you, God.

(CHUCKLES)

What's so funny?

Exotic dancer?

(LAUGHS)

You are a cutie pie,
that's for sure.

So you're not mad?

No, son, I am not mad.

If dancing is what you like
or what you wanna do,

I can't tell you
you're wrong for that.

That's a decision

that you are ultimately
gonna have to live with.

Yeah, first I was just
doing it for the money.

Mmm-hmm.

And then, it became fun.

But it's not fun anymore.

It hurt your girlfriend,
didn't it?

Yeah, it did.

And then I lied to her.

Well...

It's none of
my business, but,

she seems like
a really nice girl.

And you should do everything
in your power to win her back.

Everything.

Hey, Ma.

Yes, son.

I love you.

I love you more.

Thanks for the talk, girl.

You're sure you okay?

Yeah.

I'm cool.

I'll talk to you later?

Okay.
All right.

Carmen! Carmen!

Leave me alone, Michael.

Carmen, wait.
What?

I need to talk to you.

What?

Look, Carmen,
I know you're probably
upset with me.

And I know that
should've came to you.

I didn't know how.

So you lie to me instead?

Is it that serious, Michael?

Look, I didn't mean to.

I just didn't know
how you would react.

I mean, think about it.

"Hey, baby,
I'm a male stripper."

"And by the way,
how about those Lakers."

Well, of course
I would disapprove.

You're my boyfriend.

I don't want other women
looking at your body,

groping and trying
to grab your crotch.

Why?

Why would you become
a male stripper?

Because they were gonna
turn my mom's lights out.

I needed the money.

It was fast and, I mean,

it was the only thing
I could think of.

I wish you would've told me
that you needed some help.

Look, baby,
I'm the man.

Okay, it's not my style.

I'm supposed to
be buying you gifts
and spoiling you

and treating you
like a princess.

Not the other way around.

You're always the charmer,
Michael.

Look, I'm sorry, babe.

And besides,
tonight's my last night.

'Cause I quit.
I knew you'd want me to.

And honestly,
nothing is worth
losing you.

No more lies.

I promise.

My dancing days are over.

Except, when you do it
for me in private, right?

Hmm?

Wanna come inside?

Bad girl.

(SINGING GOSPEL MUSIC)

Michael, couple of people
are asking for you in front.

For me?

You're Michael,
aren't you?

Oh, my God.
It's Sexy Chocolate.

Can we have
your autograph?

Can you sign
my breast?

All right,
here you go, ladies.

Can you sign this?
Yeah.

Yo, Mike, man!

What, you don't answer
the phone no more?

Chris, what're you
doing here?

I came for the delicious
grade C menu.

That's my brother
right here.
I came to talk to you.

Hi.
Hello, ladies,
how're you doing?

Can I talk to my
brother for a minute?

Come here.
MICHAEL: What is up?

CHRIS: So listen.

Apparently, one of the days

that you were up there
doing your thing,

you caught the attention
of a beautiful young lady.

She wants to fly you out
for a private gig.

I'm cool, man, listen.

I got an A on my test.

I got my girl back.
I'm happy, man.

get on this plane
and go to Japan
and make this $100,000
