Here comes the bus, here it comes!

Well, we got some order
around here again,

I sure hope none

of your mother's relative die
again no time soon

Daddy.

I don't know if it's just
me telling no lie.

Oh.

Honey, the, this is the surprise
I wrote you about.

Girls, this is Emma Mae,
your first cousin,

she's gonna live with us now.

I sure got some pretty cousins.

I'm so glad Aunt Daisy picked me out

of all my sister and brothers to
come live with y'all.

You can sleep in my room,
Emma,

I got a room all by myself, don't I,
Mother?

We're glad, too, Emma Mae, here,
let me take this.

Alright, you got it?

I just know y'all
got that house clean,

one thing I can't stand is coming
home to no dirty house.

I told you she
was gonna say that,

before she asked about anything
else, "Is the house clean?"

Me and Dara did all the work,

Ulika says she had the cramps,

and wouldn't even help a little.

Oh, shut up, girl.

Who you telling to shut up,
young lady?

Now, I know you don't call
yourself grown already

since I've been away.

See, right now, you all just
got out of hand.

Did the mailman come with the check
before you all left?

No, Mom, why do you
think Daddy's speeding?

I mean, after all, this is a
special occasion,

and if that check is in the mailbox,

we're gonna take Emma Mae out to
Colonel's for eats.

No, Daddy, Golden Bird.

Now, come on, now, you know we
can't afford that.

Mr. Stansell, you don't have to do
nothing special for me.

Hey, what makes you think
it's special for you?

I mean, I'm hungry, too.

Daddy, you can forget about us,

Chay and Jerimi promised to take us

to the cafeteria at the
Student Union.

Can I go, can I go, please?

Hold on just a minute,
young lady,

where do you think you're going?

The house is clean, really,
Mother,

you can check it for yourself,
ain't it, Daddy?

I mean, where are your manners?

Your first cousin,

I guess y'all are just gonna
leave her behind.

But Mom, we don't have a
date for her, what.

You heard your mother,

take your cousin along with you.

That's okay, really,
I'm kind of tired

from the trip anyway.

Oh, hush, Emmy, you ain't tired,

you sleep all the way
down here almost.

Come on, Emma, we'll find
somebody for you.

It's okay, really, I
ain't playing.

Go ahead, Emma.

Emma, honey, why don't you get

into something more comfortable,
here, here's the key,

go and open the door, and we'll
bring your things in, okay?

Yes, ma'am.

Who is that?

That's my cousin Emma Mae
from Mississippi,

she's come to stay with us,

we gotta wait until she changes.

But I thought we were gonna take
care of business today.

Nothing's changed, we
can take her over

to the college with us,
you can find one

of your friends for her.

What?

No, man.

Hey, man, I think we're fighting a
losing cause, Jerimi.

Say, man, we done fought
a losing cause,

don't nobody want that girl.

Hey, Dara, I think we're
gonna have to split,

we ain't gonna be able
to find nobody

for your country cousin today.

I mean, even I know a losing
cause when I see one.

I can dig it, but we can't cut her
loose here by herself.

Hey, Jerimi, come here, man.

How you doing, Jesse?

Hey, what's up,
brother Jesse?

What's going on, dude,
man.

What's wrong with
you, man, how you been?

Right on, but do you think the
boy is that loaded?

Yeah, man, come on.

Uh-uh, no, we ain't
going for this shit,

I wouldn't wish him on my dog,
come on.

Hey, Jess, what's happening?

What's happening, man?

You don't want no red devil?

No, man, say, I got somebody
I'd like you to meet.

Who?

Come on, let's leave.

Let me take care of this, alright,
babe?

This young lady right over here,

come on, let me show you,
introduce you.

Alright.

Emma Mae, this is Jesse,

Jesse, this is Emma Mae,
I'll leave the two

of y'all together to get acquainted.

What's your name?

Emma.

Emma?

Uh-huh.

Oh, yeah, you new around here,
ain't you?

Yeah, I just got here.

Oh, really, just got here, hey.

Hey, sucker, what you call
yourself doing trying

to put this boogie bear here up

on my main boy, just 'cause
he loaded, huh?

I ain't gonna be too many suckers,

and further more, I think you
better check your mitts.

Chay, come on, baby, let's
cut this place loose.

Hey, chump, you better get
the fuck outta here,

and take your bitches with you,
especially ug-mug here.

Come on, come on, you doodle bug,
come on,

come on, so we can tie your ass.

Come on!

Be cool, be cool, man!

This county bitch need an ass
whipping, sure 'nuff.

By the way, your mama's
a boogie bear.

Let me at the,
I'll kill him.

She said your mama's a
boogie bear.

Twat face.

Oh, you twat licker, kiss my ass.

I'll see you,

keep you locked up in the projects,
damn.

Where, where, where was y'all?

Hey, look...

Where was y'all when this
shit was going on?

I was covering Jerimi, man.

That woman hit you
upside your head.

Hey, I haven't seen you,
you all stumbling

on them business and shit,

you'll never get no more
business from me...

Watch out, man.

That was something else, boy,
remember,

where did you learn how to handle
yourself like that, girl?

Los Angeles ain't the only
place with fools,

we have to learn how to
fight down south.

Well, you sure learned well,

for a minute there I thought
you had gone crazy.

Funny, I thought I had gone crazy.

That's what you got
to do sometimes

with a crazy nigga, you know?

You got to go crazy
your goddamn self.

Yeah, niggas run over
there to stop Chay

from putting that fool
Jesse off on you,

but he's too rough for you, girl?

Well, I thought he
was kind of cute.

Is he always drunk like that?

Drunk, he's full
of fender benders,

girl, what you talking about?

Fenders benders, what's that?

Daredevils, pills, they
call them that

'cause if you drop a couple and
try to drive a car,

you're damn sure gonna
bend a fender.

And that ain't no bullshit,
you know,

this calls for a celebration,

Jack in the Box, here we come.

Hey, hey, hold on, man, I mean,
nobody,

nobody celebrates at Jack in the
Box, even little Jack tries

to get his ass out every
chance he gets,

and they push him right back in.

Wait, wait a minute, what was
that you ordered again?

Oh, they're tacos, you ever
had a taco before?

Taco?

Yeah, you never had one?

I ain't never had no taco.

Well, you're in for a treat today,
Emma, come on.

Hey, come on with the food with
them mean yellow shoes.

Emma, will you get your big
country ass out of my face?

Oh, you liked it.

Damn, I'm feeling the food.

Here you go.

Mm, mm, mm.

What is that?

This is a tortilla.

- Tortilla?
- Yeah.

Look like dried cornbread to me.

Why don't you bring Emma to
the party tonight?

I think she'll dig it.

Yeah, right on.

Look, y'all, don't get me wrong,

I'd love to go to the party,

but what I wouldn't like is
getting in y'all's way.

Hey, hey, come on.

Even in the country,

we know that odd numbers make
for dull parties.

Out here, odd numbers
makes for good fights.

You just give me a chance to get
around a little bit,

you'll be surprised, I can
handle myself okay.

Hey, babes, now you know
that we are convinced.

Hey, Smokey, why
didn't you tell me

about this set tonight?

I came with my own man.

Who's that little butterfly

you got over there next to you?

Hey, nigga, you with the red hat,

you look like Little
Red Riding Hood.

You haven't, you haven't,

you haven't seen my big teeth yet,
baby.

That's the only thing you got big?

No, look here,
everybody.

What jump, oh,
that fat ass,

Cannon, he sure can move,
look at him.

Mm-hmm, I can't believe
you're the same one

that did all that arguing

to see Let's Rap instead of Cannon.

Yeah, see, that's what I mean
about this idiot box,

I mean, you get all caught
up in this nonsense

without even really knowing it.

Hold it, girl, where are you going?

You're too young to answer the
door this time of night,

these nights the
boogeyman gonna come in

and get your behind
right out of here.

Yeah?

Is Emma here?

Emma, what Emma?

Emma Mae.

Oh, it's okay, Uncle Huari,
that's Jess,

Dara and them introduced him to me
at the college today.

Oh, well, why didn't
you say so, Jess?

Come on in and have a seat.

That's alright, sir, I
was just coming

by to ask Emma if she'd like to go

to Clarissa's party with me tonight.

Clarissa, that's the same party

that Dara and Ulika went to,
isn't it?

Yes, ma'am, I just saw
them over there.

I'd like to go, if it's
okay with you,

Uncle Huari and Aunt Daisy.

Yeah, yeah, go, have yourself
a good time, baby.

Well, have a seat, I'll
be right down.

Emma, I'll help you, I have to see
about Eugema, anyway.

Okay, Daisy.

Nice night out, huh?

Yes, sir, pretty nice,
pretty nice.

You go to college?

Yes, sir, every day.

This is pretty nice.

Yeah, thank you.

Oh, no, honey, please, no,
don't wear that.

Look, I brought you a dress, I
think it'll fit you.

Aunt Daisy, that's pretty,

but I can't be wearing your stuff.

Oh, girl, somebody's
gotta wear it, here.

Brought you some shoes, too.

Emma, Emma, child, we
gotta do something

about your hair, hold on a minute,

try that on, I'll be right back.

What you studying at college?

Physical education.

Girl, I ain't had this stuff

on since Huari's
accident on the dock.

Uncle Huari's accident
must have really made

y'all change y'all life, huh,
Aunt Daisy?

Yeah, you said a mouthful, girl,

- see that picture over there?
- Yeah.

Dropped all the way
from there down

to this dump in no time at all.

Uncle Huari gave his life to
that goddamn company,

they dropped him like a hot potato
after his accident.

Turn around, girl, well,
that's not bad.

I mean, that's not bad at all,
Emma Mae,

I swear, you ain't a
bad looking girl,

but you just, you gotta start
keeping yourself up now,

you know, I mean, you're
in California.

Tomorrow morning, I am going to
wake you up real early,

and I'm gonna fix your hair

before my customers start coming,
okay?

Okay, you go on, have a good time,
alright?

Okay.

There you go, go on, honey, he's
waiting on you, go ahead.

Okay, okay.

That's the only way he can
get into the party,

is to bring a country girl.

Hey, Jesse, man, I didn't
think you were coming

to the party, man, what's happening?

That's pretty man, isn't it?

Hey, Mark, what,
you got a joint?

Oh, you know I got the joint,
I keeps the stuff.

Why don't you pass one?

Hey, you want this?

Mm-mm, no way.

You're a square, girl.

Yeah,
right, I can't.

What's so funny?

I'm sorry, Cookie, I
wasn't laughing at you,

it's just that all this is new
to me, that's all.

I thought it was me or something.

Chay told me today that
you were from

down south, I always
thought that the grind

was one of them universal things,
you know what I mean?

It is, but we usually do
it laying down.

Yeah.

Hey, Jemma, let me hit that.

Go on, now.

Why won't you let me
hit the joint?

Here, damn, just blaze it.

Why did you come pick me
up today anyway?

Tell you the truth, I just
wanted to check you out.

I mean, seeing how nice
and warm you are,

then seeing you go off like you did
today, I likes that.

Hi, my mama.

Have no fear, the
businessmen is here, ladies.

We are businessmen.

Business?

What kind of business are you in?

Righteous business, baby.

Back home we got one rule, family
gotta stick together.

Yeah.

I can dig on that, too.

I wanna be family.

Hey, get your pieces, man,
they're coming.

Hey, man, what's wrong with y'all,
man?

What are y'all doing with all this
heavy equipment, man?

Business.

Oh, my sister, are
you alright, Ulika?

Yeah, I'm alright.

Are you sure?

I just burnt my pants.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Alright, come on.

Get in the car.

Where's Jess?

I don't know, and I don't
give a fat rat ass,

now, get in the car, y'all, come on.

Look, I come with Jess,
y'all go on,

I gotta go with him.

Suit yourself, Emma.

Emma, would you come on here,
girl?

You see these niggas done
gone crazy out here.

Yeah, Emma, Jesse has been
taking care of himself.

Look, I said to y'all, go on,

I come with Jess, and I'm
waiting for him.

Hey, baby, you alright?

Come on, y'all,
get in the car.

Man, we can't get in that car, too
many people in there.

Come on, baby, you go with me.

Come on, Jess, get in the car,

I'll give you a ride
over to your car.

Alright, baby, come on.

Emma?

Emma?

Hey, come on, wake up.

Emma?

You awake?

Come on, throw on something quick,

we're going downstairs, I want

to fix your hair before my
customers start coming, okay?

Okay, Aunt Dai.

Okay.

Oh, Emma, you got some big ones.

Girl, I thought you asleep, you
nearly scared me to death.

Gosh, Emma, yours are
bigger than Dara

and Ulika's put together, even
bigger than mama's,

Dara, Ulika!

Hush, what you call
yourself doing?

Dara and Ulika are
always teasing me,

calling me nubby, I want you
to call them nubby.

Nubby, now, why do they say that?

'Cause they say mine aren't as
big as their nipples,

I hate them.

Melik, what is all
this about size?

Now, listen to your big cous.

Now, my mother had
practically nothing up here,

I mean nothing, she was almost
flat as a pancake,

and you know what,

one day I heard her ask my
daddy if he cared.

She did, and what did
your daddy say?

Now, that's the good part, my
daddy looked at her,

and he said, "Anything over a
mouthful is wasted anyway."

And then what did your mother say?

She didn't say nothing, my dad
just looked at her

and laughed, and said,

"You're lucky I don't
have a big mouth."

Dara, Ulika, Emma,
come on, you guys,

let's get up and get the day on,
Emma Mae, I'm waiting...

Okay.

Alright, alright,

Maddie, girl, you're a bit early,
ain't you?

Yeah, honey, I gotta see my
caseworker today,

and I thought maybe I
could get this over

with a little early if
you don't mind.

Well, I was about to do
my niece's hair.

What you need, a shampoo
and condition?

Yeah, you know how dirty my
hair gets cleaning

up them white folks' houses, and
this old dried up,

prune-faced liked to damn
near worked the shit out

of me the other day, honey,
had me all up

in her damn attic, I
probably got spiderwebs

and everything else in
my hair by now.

Well, I'll tell you what,

I'll have Dara shampoo you while I
do my niece's hair.

Okay.

Dara, Dara, Ulika, Emma, come on,

all you guys, get on up, and
let's get the day on.

Emma Mae, I'm waiting on you.

Hey, come on, hey, girl, what it is,
huh?

Come on, have a seat, I'll
get you coffee.

Hey, windy city, what's happening?

Hey, Shirley.

Girl, you a mess.

Daisy, I heard you got your niece
out here with you now.

Child, with three teenage girls,

I know you got your hands full.

Well, it's not really no
more than before,

actually, Emma Mae is more
help than trouble.

Well, yeah, country girls
most of the time are

when they first hit the city,
but before long,

the bright lights be done
gone to their heads,

and they get just as nutty, wild,

and crazy as the rest of
these city slickers,

I know what I'm talking about, hon.

I don't think so in
Emma Mae's case.

That goes for Emma Mae, Lucy Mae,
Suzie Mae,

I don't give a Mae, you
mark my word, Daisy.

Before long, that gal's
gonna drop that Mae

and go her way, I know what
I'm talking about.

Girl, now.

Wait a minute, Daisy, now
don't get me wrong,

'cause Lord knows you got
enough trouble

on your hands with that
caseworker snooping around,

trying to catch you
making them few bucks

on the side doing hair, just
like mine is trying

to catch up with me, but honey,

I got some news for that hussy
when I see her today.

You just wait, honey, I'm
gonna go down there

and turn that county
building inside out.

Girl, they don't mess with me,
honey,

when I walk in the door, you can
hear a pen drop, shit.

Aunt Daisy, I'm sorry
it took so long.

Oh, that's alright.

I see you got customers.

Oh, yeah, this is Mattie, Shirley.

Hi, honey.

And Vee, Dara's gonna shampoo her
while I do you, come on.

Oh, I can wait.

Girl, come on and sit down here.

What were your lazy cousins
doing up there,

were they up yet?

Melik is up, I don't know
about Dara and Ulika.

Mm-hmm,

Dara,

Ulika, now y'all don't want me

to have to come up there, don't get
me started this morning.

Where's Huari this morning, Daisy?

Huari, what you mean
where is Huari?

He ain't doing no hair
that I know of.

Girl, now I hope you ain't gonna
start that mess again,

now, I was just asking, that's all.

Huari had to take
Eugema to the doctor,

you know how them clinic
lines stretch out.

She sure is touchy this
morning for some reason,

I didn't do nothing but
ask about him.

Dara, Ulika, Melik,

I'm not gonna tell you all no more,
now.

Sure is some
hard hearing, hey.

Hey, man, don't get none of that
shit on my car now.

What do you mean shit, baby,
this is crab,

king crab, hey, smell that shit.

Hey, man, get that shit
out of my face,

it smell like pussy.

Pussy?

Does that smell like pussy, what,

you don't like no pussy, man?

Oh, damn.

What the hell, Jesse, man,
you ain't supposed

to eat that shit, that's shit.

Crab shit, goddamn, Jesse, damn,
man.

That ain't no shit, goddamn it,

you made me fuck up my
motherfucking crab.

Hey, look it, Jesse, man,

let's stop off at the stand, huh?

You can stop up at the
stand if you want to,

Zeke, man, I'm sliding on
over to the projects

with my main man Chay, say, Chay,
man,

you sliding on over to the projects?

Mm-hmm, about in a minute.

Yeah.

Girl, I don't mind telling you,

I was scared to death last night,

I thought it was all over
for Ulika for sure.

Well, I ain't have
time to get scared

until Jesse brought me home and
was trying to kiss me.

Then all of a sudden, I was
trembling all over,

that fool thought I was trembling
at his touch.

Girl, I'd tremble if I even
dream he was trying

to touch me.

Well, I think he's kind of cute.

Cute, girl, you gots to be jiving,

that nigga is a loser if
ever I saw one.

Just look at him with his old

"aren't you guys still
gang warring."

Hey, Jesse, man, I think
you're kind of digging

on that old ham hock broad, huh,
man?

Huh?

Digging on that broad?

Say, Z, ain't your
mama ever told you

that you can't find no
broad no better

than no country broad, you see,
they're not only dumb,

but they got twats hot as
cayenne pepper.

No, man, but my pop did tell me
you can't find no uglier

than a country one.

Man, would you take
this dude Zeke out,

talking about somebody being ugly.

Nigga, you look like an
armadillo in the face,

I ain't never seen you
with no females.

Ain't this a bitch,

hey, you better check yourself,
sucker.

Hey, man, there you go again,
thinking violence,

all you ever think
about is fighting.

I ain't never seen no pussy with no
boxing gloves on, pussy.

Right on.

- Fuck you, motherfucker...
- Motherfucker.

Hey, Jerimi, hey, Jerimi, hey,
Jerimi!

Pull over, man!

Hey, look, I'll pull over.

Jerimi, Jerimi, be cool, be cool,
Jerimi.

And look, Jess, you better
teach your monkey

some new tricks, huh,

like keeping his hands to
his fucking self.

Be cool, Zeke, man, be cool.

Now you eating the shit.

Are these the fender benders
y'all been talking about?

Girl, you better throw
that shit away now.

Oh, stop being so scared,
they can't bother you

if you don't bother them.

What's happening there,
little mama?

Think you stuck up, you should see
my wallpaper at home,

you not hit no nothing,
that's right.

What's the matter with y'all?

We ain't done nothing wrong.

Emma, I'm not playing with you,

you'd better throw those reds away.

Okay, I'll give them
back to Jesse.

You see what I mean, what
would he give them

to you for in the first place?

I hold 'em for him,

he said the police don't
mess with the girls.

What the hell do they
want with us now?

Ain't this a bitch, anybody
got any shit on them?

Y'all be cool, man.

- Well, goddamn, man.
- Shit.

Nobody done nothing but riding

in the 20 mile zone, man, at
15 miles an hour...

Here he comes, Zeke,
be cool, man.

Alright, everybody out, everybody.

Everybody get over there,
get over there.

God, they got Chay and Jerimi!

Fuck this shit, man,

pigs fucking with
people all the time.

Be cool, big man, be cool.

But I ain't done nothing!

Be cool, man.

Spread your feet.

Yeah, now I see why the
pigs stopped us,

so they could feel the
almighty ride.

Oh, shut the hell up.

Alright, man, hold it, man, look,
look, look,

you brought it on yourself, man.

You brought
this on yourself.

Motherfucker, freeze!

I'll kill you, motherfucker.

That's right, fuck you,
motherfucker, I'll kill you.

Let's go, Zeke.

Jesse, run, Jesse, run, you
better get out of here,

get out of here, get!

Put your hands
back on that goddamn.

Look, on the car.

Yeah, child, you know how
the police are,

they're always messing
with somebody.

Lord, yes, I'm worried, Emma Mae
ain't been up here

but a minute, she don't know.

Alright, yeah, well, if you hear
anything, call me, alright?

Okay.

Huari, would you please sit down?

You're just upsetting
everybody more.

Come here, baby, come on.

It's all your fault, Daisy,

you had to bring all that trouble
back from 'Sippi with you.

It's not mother's fault,
and Emma's,

either, it's the pigs!

Everybody knows the
cops are crazy,

but at least everybody else
has enough sense

to stay out of their way.

What I don't understand is
why they're not

over here looking for her.

She just got here, how they gonna
know where to find her?

How do the cops find out
everything else?

Some turkey tells, that's how.

Chay and Jerimi will find her,

they're out looking for her now.

Yeah.

I need to talk to you.

Yeah, man?

Hey, man, you know
where Emma Mae is?

She at Big Daddy's.

Big Daddy's, goddamn, why
didn't I think of that?

Hey, keep it cool.

Alright.

Action, huh?

Right on, you'll never
guess where they are.

Where?

Big Daddy's.

Oh.

Come on, let's go.

I'm going back.

Hey, Devo, Devo, come
here, man, come here.

I just told that jive dude Chay
where Jess and Zeke is,

and I checked out the man
right on his ass.

Well, let's go in there, quick,
man, you drive.

We gotta move, get off the car.

I'm sick of this shit, jiving, I
know what they're doing,

, you know, all
that jive told me,

but that's alright, it's alright.

Hiding out, looking at me,

watching TV, same old,.

Big Daddy, help me, I'm a
big,

someone watching TV, talking about,

Big Daddy, do this, Big Daddy,
do that.

I'm gonna blow 'em, yeah, that's
what I'm gonna do,

just blow heads off.

Be cool, Big Daddy, can't
you see I'm trying

to check out this program?

There gonna be TV right here,

if them pigs try to come in here.

You hear that, Jess, that Big
Daddy ain't bullshitting,

neither, we gonna hold
court right here

if they come and sniff
us out of here.

Until the pigs do show, hold
down the mumbling,

would you, Big Daddy, huh?

Boy, you're my kin well and good,

but I want you to know, I
mumble as much as I want

to in my house.

Emma, let's go upstairs.

I need to clean up this house.

We'll clean it up tomorrow, okay?

Huh?

Come on.

No.

Ah, come on.

Well, fellas, we're gonna
say goodnight.

Goodnight, y'all.

Hey, brother man,
what's happening?

Ain't nothing happening,

man, what can I do for you?

Well, I just want to know
what's going on,

man, we was out looking for
a little action.

Ain't no action here, man.

Hey, where's your thing at?

What thing?

Well, you know what I'm
talking about.

Ain't no thing here,
brother man.

Just shut up and get up
against the car.

Don't move.

Hey, what's the matter with you
young 'uns nowadays?

We got to be able to blow
some heads off,

and we got to be ready.

We ready, we ready, Big Daddy.

Ready, my black ass,
you sitting there

with a can of beer in one hand,

and your other partner upstairs

with a piece of ass and other,

and you got the nerve to tell me
that you're ready?

Now, look, Big Daddy, be cool.

Now, look, they don't even
know we're in here.

Hey, we are in here,
they're out there,

we don't know what they know,
and don't know.

We have hostages in there,
let's try

to get them out nice and easy
without any problems.

What the fuck?

Damn, they beat us here.

What the hell
are you doing?

Everybody in your positions.

Pigs, swarms of 'em!

Shit,

fucking.

Be cool, Big Daddy,
be cool.

Shit.

You inside, Jesse
Amos, Ezekiel Johnson,

we know goddamn well you and old man
Johnson are in there,

get your asses out without
harming the hostage.

Nobody will be harmed.

Jesse Amos, Ezekiel Johnson, get
your asses out here

without harming the hostage, and
nobody will be harmed.

Hey, hey, I'll be goddamned if
they ain't talking

about you, they think
you're a hostage.

I'll go take care of
that mess right now.

Hey, where you think you're going?

Get back over here.

I'm going to tell 'em I'm here
'cause I want to be here.

What you gonna do that for?

Hey, we need a few
minutes to think it over.

You
have five minutes.

Hey, babe,

they're gonna need to talk to you,
okay?

Big Daddy, keep your eyes open,
alright?

Emma?

I know how you feel, baby,

but you know, you're
our only chance,

if we're lucky enough to get
out of this alive.

Now, they think you're a hostage,

and while we're in there,
you can be out here,

getting things together for us.

What do you want me to do,

pretend you kidnapped me,
I can't do that.

No, no, no, baby, that ain't
what I want you to do.

Now, look, I know how you feel,

you understand, but we ain't got no
other choice this time.

I mean, I gotta use my
brains this time, baby.

Now, look,

Emma, baby,

do what I tell you, and everything
will be alright, baby.

Oh, Jesse.

Look, baby,

okay?

Huh?

Your time is up, if you don't
come out immediately,

we're coming in, let the
hostage out first,

come out with your hands behind your
head in single file.

Get these people back over here.

Send the hostage out first,
and follow

with your hands up behind your head.

Get 'em up behind your head, there,
get 'em up there.

Move it out, on your knees.

Get down.

Okay, get 'em down.

Get down!

Don't take Jesse away!

What is this, say, man,
why don't y'all...

Shut up!

Get up, let's go.

Get up, let's go.

Get up.

Hey, man, what y'all
hustling Big Daddy for,

man, he ain't did nothing.

Get on down there.

Where are you gonna go, Emma?

You don't got no place to go.

Melik, honey, everything's
gonna be alright, okay?

But I like you, I don't
want you to go.

Yeah, Emma, we all
want you to stay.

There's
something I gotta do,

and I feel if I stay here, I'll just
be putting all y'all

in a bad position.

Emma, you don't know
what you're doing,

those people are crazy around there,

especially Big Daddy.

Oh, girl, you just don't know,

that old man's got a lot of sense.

Alright, everybody out.

Uncle Huari, I know what
you're gonna say.

Now you're a mind reader, huh?

Uncle Huari, please.

I love all of you,

and I appreciate everything
you've done for me.

I'll never stop coming by.

There's something I've gotta do,

it's like my mother used to say,
she said,

"Baby, there's gonna come a
time in your life

"when you're gonna have to
make a decision,

"if people don't understand,
try to explain it,

"but if they still don't understand,

"you gotta do it.

"Only then

"will you feel fulfilled."

Uncle Huari, I feel that
that time has come,

I'm asking you, try and understand,

but if you don't, I still
have to do it,

because I have to feel fulfilled.

Hey.

Your aunt thinks I'm up here
giving you hell,

so hell.

You're beautiful people, Emma,

just don't forget this address,
okay?

I won't.

You do whatever it is

you have to do.

Okay.

Hey, y'all, be cool for a second.

We gotta rap about how we're gonna
get Jess and Zeke out

before the police start messing
them around, dig it?

Right on, right on.

I gotta few ideas, first thing
we gotta do is find

a lawyer to get the bail lowered.

$5,000.00 apiece ain't no bail,
that's a ransom.

Hey, man, if you got
anything to say,

raise your hand first.

What the shit is this,
school or something?

James and Devo talked to
this old white dude

that owns this
old-fashioned carwash down

on Wilmoth and Rosencrantz and
said we can use it

and split 50/50.

I don't know about y'all,

but I ain't washing no goddamn cars.

Hey, y'all, be cool,
get off the girl.

Wait a minute, wait a minute,
hold it, wait a minute.

Now, Emma's one of us now.

Now, if Sarah wants a piece of her,
let 'em go at it.

Right on.

Die, you bitch, I'll kill you,
motherfucker!

Go get her.

Sorry about the rude interruption,

we shouldn't be fighting each other,

the enemy is out there, all we
want to do is get Jess

and Zeke out, so let's act like it.

I got 50 cents more.

Sarah, how's everything?

Pretty good.

Getting pretty good money, huh?

Well, I guess we'll have enough
after awhile, huh?

Hey, Emma, do you really think

this carwash thing is gonna
turn the trick?

It'd better, it'd
damn sure better.

Jesse Amos, you
got a visitor.

Come on.

Ezekiel Johnson.

I'll bring you two
something back,

don't worry about a thing.

Hey,, I know you
ain't going nowhere.

That's alright, everything
gonna be alright.

Okay, you got 15 minutes.

Hey, baby, so glad to see you,
for a second there

I thought you wasn't gonna
be able to show up.

I haven't missed a visit yet,
have I, baby?

You're looking good, baby,

you been taking care of yourself?

Sure, Jess, how about you?

Look like you're losing
a few pounds.

Well, if you face what I face
three times a day,

you'd drop a few pounds yourself.

Maybe that's what I need, huh?

A few days in the slammer.

Don't even play like that.

You bring any more money?

More money, I left $50.00
the last time...

I don't care, did you bring
any more money or not?

Yeah, yeah, honey.

Look, baby, uh, I just
had a bad streak,

you know, I've been gambling a lot

to try to pass this time away,
everything gonna be alright.

I hear you can reds in here.

Now, I done told you
what's happening,

now, if you don't want to
leave the chump change,

that's your business, I've
got enough problems

with these fucking ass white people,

I don't need you to come in and
put all this bullshit

on my motherfucking ass,
just tell me I've...

Hold it, sonny, it's
back to your cell.

Yeah, why don't you just
take me back, man?

Yeah, take me back, 'cause I
can't be dealing

with this shit,

you guys know what I'm
talking about?

Okay, next?

Damn.

Big Daddy?

Put this on his account, I'll
meet you at the car.

Baby, don't let it get you down,
okay?

Hold on, keep the faith, it's okay.

Fuck you, man.

Hi, Mr. Davies.

Hello, Emma, how are you?

So how's business been, Emma?

Oh, okay.

I think it's all there.

Okay, okay,

what is it, Mr. Davies?

We have to close down the carwash.

What?

I don't want to close, you all
have been good tenants,

but I was paid a visit today
by certain people.

And you're gonna let
them make you close

down your own place, they
can't do that.

You don't understand, I've got
nothing against you people,

I admire the way you've
taken this place,

and turned it into a money
maker all by yourself,

but it's out of my hands.

Look, I've got other
businesses to protect,

the zoning people sort of turn
their heads, and...

Zoning, my butt!

I don't understand, they
always talking

about how we young people never try

to do nothing but use dope, and
kill each other up

in the street, then when we try

to do something the way they
say it's supposed

to be done, they mess with us, and
try to shut us down.

Mr. Davies, what is it all about?

I'm going to tell you something,
Emma,

I respect you, and believe me, I
feel sorry for you.

You see, those people up
there look down here,

and they see one little black
country girl organizing

a bunch of kids that society,
with all their money

and their brains, said
there was no saving.

You scare them, Emma, you scare them

because you embarrass them,
add to that the fact

that you're trying to get
two cop beaters off,

and that's where we are now.

Okay, we'll shut down your
run down property,

we'll have enough money
for the lawyer

in a few weeks, anyway.

I'm sorry, but you
have to vacate today.

Today?

Right now.

Jive time honkies,

what the hell you call
yourselves doing?

Yeah, this is a bonafide business,

and you're blocking customers.

That's right.

Be cool, brothers,
this is the pigs,

they're closing us down.

We done worked too hard
for this shit.

We're just getting the
thing started.

I know, I know, they
got us this time,

but we ain't gonna fall
into their hands

by starting nothing out here.

They gots this battle, but
the war goes on.

Okay, there's 50, 100,

that's 150, two, 250,

three, 350, four, five,

six, and that's $650.00.

There you go, and
here's your receipt.

Thank you.

Well, thank
you very much,

you have a nice day, next, please.

- Yes, hi, how are you?
- Hi.

I'd like to deposit that.

Okay, fine, your
account number?

It's on the.

Okay, one, 250, three,

$432.00, is that right?

- Right.
- Okay.

Okay, thank you very much,
there's your receipt.

Okay, bye bye.

Thank you, you
have a nice day.

You too.

A bank?

Well, I think that's a little
bit out of our league.

It's only out of our league
if we think it's out

of our league.

Well, then, that's what I mean,

I think it's out of our league.

Shit, she's crazy as hell.

What do you think about it, James?

I think we got a good chance
of pulling it off,

only thing is, though, if
we get busted,

Jess and Zeke then might as
well hang it up.

Jesse and Zeke, shit, we all
might as well give it up.

Sit down, son.

Sit down, son!

Now, y'all listen to
this little lady,

and get your hearts together.

Talk about taking chances,

what do you think you're doing every
time you pick up a gun,

and get the so-called gang war,

with your own people, over turf?

Something don't none of you own,

'cause the white man owns it,
that's right,

the white man owns every nook
and every cranny,

every alley, and every freeway,
every city,

and every goddamn swamp, the
white man owns it, why?

'Cause he got up off of his
ass and took it,

now, y'all want a piece of it?

Well, the only way you're
gonna get it is

to get up off of your asses
and take it back.

And y'all got the nerve
to be talking

about worrying about facing time,

facing time?

Nigga, you face time every day
you live and breathe,

why, you're doing time right now,

and don't even know it, y'all
always jiving with me

about my mumbling, see, what you
don't know is I mumble

to forget, that's right,
when I mumble,

I forget that I'm ashamed to
be as old as I am,

and still walking around.

Why, if I was anybody at all,
I'd be dead.

I ain't shit, and I know it.

But y'all listen to me,
and listen to

that little lady over there,
because what she's trying

to tell you, you at least
stand a chance

to get something out of it, yeah,
that is besides laughing

and bragging over how many
brothers you done shot

and killed in some fool gang war.

Now, sit your fucking asses down,

and listen to a real
woman for a change.

Big Daddy, I wish you'd
change your mind

and go on back home.

Well, it's about that time.

Girl, where did you learn how

to handle a shotgun like that?

My granddaddy.

You got the rest of the
pieces in the bag, Emma?

Well, let's get it on.

I think I'm ready.

Is Devo in position?

Yes.

Okay.

About that time,
go get it on.

Alright, here.

Hey, don't say nothing,

don't even move, this is a stickup.

Put that shit over there,
put it over there,

get on, stay right there, otherwise,

you won't be able to move.

Come on, get up, get up, move,
come on.

Okay, get in your position.

Come on, let's go.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm taking over now,
this is a stickup!

What the hell
is going on over there?

Shut up, and turn around,
and put your hands up.

You, get back, get
back here, get it!

Alright, you people stand back,
turn around!

Turn around, no talking.

You have to face the wall.

Face the wall, move it!

Alright, everybody, you
heard the little lady.

Hold it!

Hold it, don't move, anybody.

Do what we say and won't
nobody get hurt.

Don't nobody move.

Babe, start from that other end,
come on.

Listen, you can't...

Would you turn
around and shut up?

Take the bags.

Come on.

Guys, go on, and get
out of here, come on.

Ladies and gentlemen,
thanks for your cooperation.

Move, Big Daddy, get over,
get over!

I know we should have made that
old fool stay home.

Wow, we made it.

Come on, man, damn,
we almost there,

you can count that shit later, damn.

Okay, okay.

Boy, I swear.

What's the matter, Emma?

Don't you ever let
yourself have any fun?

James,

I'm scared.

Scared, well, what's the matter?

We got away with it, didn't we?

You hear what they said on the radio

about the police thinking it was the
work of organized pros?

Not that, James, it's Jess.

He's finally coming home, I'm
scared, I don't know.

I don't know if he still likes me,

I don't even know if he
still wants me.

Oh, Emma, come on,
don't talk crazy.

I mean, you know Jess digs you,
we all know that.

Oh, James, hold me, hold me tight,

I'm so scared, I don't
know what to do.

Hey, Emma, come on, now, look,

look, you're making
something out of nothing.

I mean, look at Sarah, even,

you think she'd be trying
to make it with me

if she thought she had a chance
against you with Jesse?

I'm sorry, James, I'm so sorry
for acting like this.

It's okay, Emma, hey,
you good people,

and Jesse would be a damn
fool to blow you.

Hey, well, why don't you go on over

to Big Daddy's and wait for
him over there?

That way you guys can be
by yourselves,

instead of being bothered
with them crazy,

loaded fools downstairs.

Maybe you're right, James.

'Cause I don't feel too much like
partying today anyway.

Look, I'll tell him where you are,

I bet you he breaks his neck
getting over there.

You know, you're pretty good
people yourself, James.

Hey, brother, we got down there,
see?

We got reds, we got cocaine,

we got everything guaranteed.

Hey, baby, alright.

- How you doing?
- I'm good.

I hope you're doing alright,
mama's looking good.

Welcome home, Jesse.

Hey, baby.

Hey, y'all, let's party.

I'm gonna show y'all how
to do the Zeke,

come on, everybody, come on, do
the Zeke, get down

with the Zeke, do the Zeke,
with Zeke.

Come on, baby, get a
little piece of this,

get a piece of this, Zeke, yeah,
you know,

you know, do the Zeke.

Hey, baby.

Yeah?

Let's go upstairs, honey.

What about Emma?

Emma who?

You know what that was about,
don't you?

- No.
- No?

Tell me what that was about.

Why don't I tell you when we
go upstairs, okay?

I think I'm gonna go over and get
some red devils, honey.

Wait right here, I'll be right back,

I just love you to death.

Hey, man.

Yeah, there, help yourself, man.

Girl, what you doing here
this time of morning?

James, where's Jess?

Emma, I thought you was gonna...

James, where Jess, upstairs?

Emma, Emma, wait, I mean, Emma,
don't go up there,

I mean, Jess might be up there
getting dressed or something.

Well,

shut the door, can't a man have no
privacy around here?

Shit.

Emma, Emma, please, it's
not what you think,

Emma, we was just loaded.

You can go, Slick.

What kind of shit is this, Emma,
please,

I'm all this black nigga round
here you pleased,

you close the goddamn door.

You can go, Slick.

Sarah, get back in this bed.

Shit.

I said, you can go, Slick.

Get your ass back in this bed.

What kind of shit is this?

You got all these dumb ass niggas
scared of you around here?

What you trying to do,

to make a fool out of
me or something?

You make a fool out of yourself,
Jess.

Everything I did, I did for you.

I did it because I love you,

I thought you felt the
same way about me.

Me?

Love you?

Bitch, you've got to be crazy.

I use you, you're a toy, bitch,
a freak,

you got a face only a
mother could love,

and she died so she wouldn't have
to look at it no more.

You get your big country,
greasy ass back

to the country where you belong.

You were right, Jess,
you're always right.

I'm going back to the country.

Yeah, you do that.

Because if you're all the
city has to offer,

I feel sorry for all of you,

but before I go, I'm gonna show
you you're nothing,

even at your own game,

I'm gonna kick your ass.

Bitch, you didn't hit me!

You hit Jesse, bitch, I'll kill
your motherfucking ass!

Ow.

Hey, hey, fool, you'd better go
back to the country,

'cause this city gonna kill you,
crazy-ass girl.

Hey, hey, Zeke, hey, fool, who let
this damn fool in here?

What's going on?

Shit, you better go ahead and
get yourself,

man, y'all see that?

Bitch, I'm gonna kill you.

Son of a bitch.

Oh, right on, Emma,
just say nothing.

This is the nothing we've
been looking up to,

just look at him with his old ass,

still running around here
talking about gang wars.

He can't even hold himself
against a woman,

truth is is the only way he can get
any kind of respect,

let him go three blocks for me,

and nobody would look up to him,

so that means he's just
another dumb nigga

that doesn't know how to
take advantage

of this big city we all so proud of.

City ain't nothing if you
don't know how

to use it, he's been using you,

I've been the biggest
dummy of them all.

While we try, he lays in waste,

you better cut him loose, you
better cut him loose!

Mama, oh.

Oh, Mama.

Are you coming on home, ain't you,
Emma?

Yes, Melik, honey, yes, I'm
coming home.
