Or do I just, let it
ride maybe get a DNA test

see if it's mine but like,

I got a gal out
here on the streets

talking about how she

So I feel like I gotta tell her.

You gotta tell
her though because,

well you gotta tell her
if you find out 100%

that it's yours, but
right now you don't know,

so it's kinda like
a balancing act,

because if you tell
her and it ain't yours,

it's gonna ruin
your relationship.

But if you tell her
and it is yours,

you know at least you
heading it off early

and letting her know what's up,

because she deserve that.

Come in.

[Keenan] Hey.

[Therapist] Good morning.

[Keenan] I'm Mr. Robertson.

Mr. Robertson, have a seat.

It's good to have you.

So what brings you in today?

Uh, the free session I
saw on the advertisement.

Yeah, I lost my job
a few months ago.

And I been kind of having
a hard time you know.

I'm stressed, been to
a thousand interviews.

Can't sleep, because I
keep thinking about it.

And you know my baby momma
keeps asking me for money.

And it's just hard right now.

You know my girl said she
went to some therapy sessions

a while ago and it helped her.

So I'm just here to just.

Try to find some help.

So sounds like that you
have some good influences

on what therapy could be like.

But you don't have any
personal experiences yourself.

Okay.

What are you expecting
to get out of therapy?

I don't know.

Just maybe some peace of mind.

To where I can sleep.

Yeah.

Okay.

So, moving forward,

it would be really
important for both of us

but particularly
you to understand,

that our job
positions and stress

and sometimes even
relationships.

Those things can be temporary.

And it's natural to want
to keep those things

or even experience loss,
stress, not being able to sleep.

When those things
are threatened.

Or seem like they're
gonna move away.

But our happiness and
that peace of mind that

you were talking about,

those things aren't tied
to temporary things.

And your worth and your
sense of being enough

those things are
eternal, as you are.

So if we could keep
that orientation in mind

as we move forward, that
can be the foundation

for us to do work
while we're in therapy.

What do you think about that?

[sighs]

[phone rings]

Hello?

Yeah, this is Mr. Robertson.

7:45?

Yeah, I can be there by 7:45.

Okay, thank you.

[bell chimes]

[Secretary] Can I help you?

Yes, I'm here to substitute
for Miss Miller's room?

Sign in.

Do you know where her class is?

[Keenan] No ma'am.

[sighs]

Go out the hall to room 109.

Go downstairs, catch the
elevator if you want to.

Have a good day.

[Keenan] Good morning class.

[Children] Good
morning Mr. Robertson.

Hello?

Hello?

Marvin?

I just got to work.

What do you want?

I just want you to know

that we're going to
have to go to court.

So you can pay child
support for your son.

Look, we'll cross that
bridge when we come to it.

We need to handle this.

It doesn't have to be like this.

You made it like this.

Man, don't talk about...

Bye.

Hello?

Marvin?

[sighs]

[sighs]

Hello?

Hey baby.

How you doing?

Yeah, I'm doing good.

How about you?

I'm a little stressed
out, concerned, worried.

Nah baby, we fine honey.

Look are you sure you're
okay me coming to work?

Get that corn.

We good.

Do what you gotta do.

Okay.

Well, listen.

Let me ask you something.

Let me ask you
something real quick.

How you feel about you coming

and staying with
me for a few days?

I would love that.

Okay.

Well look, I'm a call you on

my lunch break or
something okay?

Okay, talk to you later.

All right bye.

All right, baby, love you.

[sighs]

Sir we got that other
machine all cleaned up.

And, anything else
we can do for you?

No, that's all I need today.

By the way.

Do you have any more of that
poetry you were working on?

I have a few pieces
that I've been collecting.

Why you ask?

I was talking to a
publishing friend of mine,

and we were thinking about
maybe turning it into a book.

What, really?

Yeah.

What do I need to do?

You need to get it all together.

Put it into a file.

And get to me as
quick as possible

so we can read it.

Absolutely, absolutely, thank
you, thank you, thank you.

[hip hop beat]

My head has been a
lot clearer lately.

You know with me going
to like therapy man.

It really is
something that I think

everybody probably kind
of needs to look into.

Just a bit.

Just because it's,
man it's helpful

to work through some stuff.

Man, have you ever
thought about going

on and seeing a therapist
or something like that?

A councilor or
something like that?

[knocks]

Come in.

Mr. Robertson.

[Keenan] Hey, how are you?

[Therapist] Hey,
sir, good to see you.

Welcome back.

Good to see you too.

Absolutely, have a seat.

Whoops, thank you.

Okay, it's good to see you.

You too, you too.

I thought that the last
session went really well,

so I decided to sign
up for another one.

All right.

Yeah, it helped me a little bit.

And I appreciate that.

Okay, so before I ask
about what's been going on,

what about the last
session did you like?

Did you...

Well, it just
allowed me to be able

to just talk my way
through some things.

And be more solution-orientated

and not think about
stuff so much.

Like, oh I gotta get this
done, I gotta get this done.

And living in the
moment a little bit.

Yeah, and I also
wanted to tell you

that the pre and post
test that we took

to look at your stress levels?

They were really really
high when we first started

the session, and
your last one after

the session that we did?

It was significantly lower.

Good.

So it's good that I'm
hearing this data from you.

That you felt like you
got something out of it

because your scores showed
that you felt less stressed.

Yeah, they told me that my
ACES score was really high?

From childhood trauma
or something like that.

But I don't know.

Yeah, that's the Adversive
Childhood Experiences Survey.

They came out of Harvard,

and actually they're trying
to put it into school systems

to make sure that we're
being able to identify

our kids who need more support.

And as well as with adults,
identify and be aware

so we can address it, so yeah.

So tell me, what's
been going on?

Well, you know just kind of.

You know, working
through those things.

I got a position where I'm
subbing more frequently,

so that's let me not
have as much stress

and bringing in some income.

So that's good.

But you know I had a situation

where one of my brother's
car got shot up.

And you know I'm just
trying to not do something

that's gonna
jeopardize my future.

Mm hm.

And it's just hard to
navigate those situations.

And do the right
thing sometimes.

So I'm just trying to
think my way through it

instead of just
being irrational.

What's up bro?

Man, I see you still
rocking them cowboy?

Yo, baby we gonna
always be cowboys man.

Paying child support,
I had to give extra

on top of what I
giving you already.

They already asking for extra?

Man, come on man.

Hey I got bills myself.

I gotta live!

Right.

But at the same time man,

I want to be able to any
and everything for them

but you know man, I've
been going through it bro.

I just need a little prayer man,

because I man trying to survive
out here on these streets,

and these streets out
here ain't calling me.

I'm trying to go
home and be with

the family and take
care of mine, but.

Yeah, you know.

Everybody needs some
prayer sometimes man.

You know what, man I'll
pray for you right now.

Man, please bro.

Thank you.

Take my hand and pray with me.

For sure.

Dear heavenly father,

we pray that you keep your
hand on this young man.

Yes sir.

And let him be successful
in what he's doing.

Help him to build
and keep having

to break relationships
with his children,

make sure that his finances
are where they need to be.

And you keep your hands on him,

all of his stuff like we know
that you said that you would.

And let him allow
you to lead his life

in the right direction
and make good decisions

that are gonna last a lifetime

and have generational value

and break generational curses,

and keep things all together
in love and glorify your name

and it'll all be for you.

In the name of Jesus amen.

Amen, man.

Amen.

Yeah, that's what it's
about right there man.

Man, I appreciate that
man, I felt that man.

'Cause look, prayer
changes things.

That's the only thing
I know that works.

In my whole life, for real.

Prayer.

And talking I really
kind of believe in,

that it's bigger than me.

Because man, I done went
through so much in my life

now I see because I'm
helping other kids.

I wouldn't even know.

I would be like one
of these people come

from Montana, or Wyoming, that
ain't ever lived in the city.

That don't know about you
know helping somebody else.

Because they ain't
ever been in it.

Right.

And God just put me
in that position man,

and that just really
made me a better person.

To where it ain't
about me no more.

It's about the bigger
picture, what I can give back.

Because I be thinking,
I'm a die all the time,

I'd have been shot at,
ganged, all the crazy stuff

that happen and it's like,

am I supposed to be here?

You know?

And then when God give you
different opportunities

to let you cash in on
why he even got you here.

That right there man.

It really been helpful
for me in my life.

Man, I'm a keep
praying for you man.

Man, really man.

You gotta come over to
the house man, for sure.

Man, I'm a have
to come over there.

I got a small chess
board, it ain't super nice.

We gonna get us a
big old chess board.

I need a minute.

You don't have
to worry about it.

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah.

We put a couple of
them in the alley,

you know how it look
good all the time.

And say a few more
prayers for a man

because I'm about
to make it out here.

Ain't gonna let this
situation stop me,

because there ain't
nothing out here

gonna be able to stop me.

Only person that can
stop you is yourself.

I don't believe in that,

yeah because the
system trying to,

and they trying to do it
in the system and stuff.

You know all it
ain't gonna stop me.

Hey what it do Charles,

what's up with you baby?

How about them Cowboys?

Oh my god.

[laughs]

Man, but yeah man.

When it's all over
said and done man.

I'm a step foot out here
and I'm gonna make it.

You ain't got no choice but to.

You got people riding on you.

Waiting on you.

Right, you got you just
trying to get the food.

I hate to see the
backside of you.

Is walking away from me
what you really wanna do?

You're a sight for sore
eyes and I love any of you.

But I know it's not polite
if I keep staring at you.

So hello lady, hi can I
please stand by your side?

And I'm sorry if I disrespected,

my approach can be corrected.

Seeing the back of
you had me affected

but don't walk away from,
my mind would be hectic.

To know that our heart's
time will be neglected.

So I'm daydreaming of us
being spiritually connected,

so here pouring out my
soul is how I left it.

Okay.

My goodness.

That's awesome.

[chuckles]

I was not prepared.

I didn't know you had
that in you, like what?

What?

You a little poet hon.

There's a whole lot more
I'm trying to show you.

Little poet, who knew?

But look.

There's something I
need to tell you though.

Tell me what?

What's up?

I don't know how to say it.

Just say what's on your
mind babe, what's up?

I really care about you.

I'm here with you in
this relationship.

We about to have a baby.

And I feel like I need
to be 100% with you.

As you should.

What's up?

Just talk.

Can't be that serious, like.

What's up?

My ex came by my house.

Mm hm?

And she told me she was pregnant

Okay, that has
nothing to do with you.

What that gotta do with you?

She's saying it's mine.

What?

No, Marvin.

No.

Are you kidding me?

So you been still

Like, how could you do this?

Like are you serious, no!

So you gonna mess with her.

I wasn't messing with her.

Really, you gonna
get her pregnant?

It was like seven months ago.

So you gonna leave me for her.

No, I'm not leaving you for her.

Well then why you
still messing with her?

You're not listening to what

I'm saying about how
I feel about you?

Well you ain't
said nothing to me.

And it's not about your words,
it's about your actions.

My actions, baby look.

I done got you a
ring and everything.

I'm serious about us.

Yo, I want us to be together.

I don't want it like this.

Not like this.

We gonna make it work.

We gonna make it work.

We gonna make it work.

Not like this.

Yo, I'm gonna be here
for you and the baby.

That's why I love you.

I'm sorry.

You know so I'm learning,

like I look at this
theory of the sponge.

To where I take in everything
everybody does around me,

all the people I care about.

All the people
that influence me.

And things that I can
benefit from, I keep in.

But I squeeze out
all the things that

I feel like are not beneficial
to me, and not gonna help me.

And you know, I cast those away.

That way I can keep the
good and expel the bad.

Because it's not
necessarily what you put out

but what you got in.

So that's my theory.

That's amazing.

I'm gonna give
you a great quote,

that you know how
we got different

people got different quotes.

I'm gonna give you
an Uncle D quote.

That I over the years, I use.

I came upon it when I
was in college 'cause.

What I did in college, is I was,

a big fish in a little pond
I went to a small college.

I was successful, and I
went and had a big hit.

Never allow a reaction

to an attraction
create a distraction.

Maintain your focus.

Say that again, say that again.

You're on point right now,

doing some great things,
God is blessing you

and has blessed you.

Never allow a reaction
to an attraction

create a distraction.

So in other words,
something over here,

for me it was girls.

In college...

For me it's girls too!

Reacting to those,
seeing an attraction

and reacting to it takes
me away from my focus

of what I was doing.

I need to maintain
my focus, do my work.

What I'm supposed
to do at school.

And study and do
all those things.

So that attraction
can take you away

from what your commitment to do.

So stay committed
to what you do.

Maintain your focus.

And then...

Man it wasn't over.

Man, I'm a put
on my shades dude.

Man you don't need
to put on them shades.

Man, see what I just did.

You gonna need to put
on some shades bro, like.

Because you gonna be in the
dark after I knock you out.

But let's it though
Keenan, what you gonna do?

What you gonna do?

I'm about to show you
what I'm about to do.

Oh, yeah.

Let me tell you this man.

I got a call from Mr. Howe.

You know he does
performances and stuff.

And they got this
performance coming up.

You know the mayor
gonna be there

and some other acts and stuff

and they asked us to
perform and I was like yeah!

So you down?

You gonna get up there with me?

We can do like a duality
flow thing or something?

It'd be dope.

Man, we done talked
about it before.

Right.

But we gonna need to practice.

Duh!

Because we know you ain't
got your word number one.

All right.

That's real good news.

Right, I'm trying to tell you.

Time I get win right there.

What win?

Win you imagining.

Everybody wanna get

Yeah, it is.

I can't see good.

[hip hop beat]

Thank you coach Key so
much for helping me out.

I appreciate you
doing this stuff.

If you could just please

[phone rings]

Hello?

Hey, is this Mr. Robertson?

Yes, this is Mr. Robertson.

Hey, this is Miss
Miller from school.

How you doing?

Oh hey Miss Miller.

Well, I was just calling you

because I'm getting ready
to go on maternity leave

in a couple of weeks and I
had spoke to the principle

here at school and I
was trying to get you

a permanent substitution
position job until the end of

the school year, how do
you feel about doing that?

Really?

Oh wow.

That is awesome.

Thank you so much.

Yes.

Absolutely.

I appreciate you.

[Teacher] And we're
going to switch up,

so that the next
group can come paint.

[chuckles]

[phone rings]

Hello?

Oh hey Miss Miller.

You know Mr. Robertson,
the kids love you.

And you always do a good job.

So what I'm gonna do,

I'm gonna leave the
lesson plans laid out for

the next five weeks, and
I think we're gonna have

a position for you
next school year.

I'll talk to the principal.

Several teachers are leaving,

so if you do a good job,
the position could be yours.

So just make sure that
you're on your P's and Q's.

Yes, absolutely.

I will be on my P's
and Q's everyday.

Yes.

Tell them yes.

Thank you for the opportunity.

No problem, thank you so much.

And I will see you soon.

[sighs]

Lord, thank you.

Thank you thank you thank you.

I know two times I tried to
lead to my own understanding.

Lord, you're always on time.

Thank you so much.

I really appreciate
the opportunity.

I won't let you down.

Thank you lord.

Amen.

Bro, I heard you
talking about my momma.

You don't be doing that bro.

[Kid] What you
gonna do about it?

I'm gonna fight you.

Come on, square up.

Mr. Robertson?

This Mr. Robertson.

There's about to be a
fight on the first floor.

Okay, I'm on my way.

You don't want none
of this small fry.

Hey hey hey, man
what is y'all doing?

Y'all too big for this.

What's going on?

He was talking about my
momma and I don't like it.

It gets me like mad
talking about my momma.

You know his momma?

Does he know your momma?

No.

So every time somebody
say something about you

you don't like,
y'all gonna fight?

No.

See 'cause when I was y'all age,

man, I ended up having
to go to juvenile.

Get put in handcuffs.

Went to alternative
school for a year.

That's not what
I want for y'all.

Y'all know what's
happening to kids like

y'all in the streets right now?

They're dying?

What's happening?

They're dying like he said.

They keep getting shot at 'cause

they wanna start
stuff like this.

And that's what you wanna do?

No.

That's what you wanna do?

So look, I see your grades
and your test scores.

I see your grades
and your test scores.

Y'all are too smart
for this mess.

Too smart.

You gonna learn, you
gonna have to learn

how to control your emotions,

you have to learn how
to control your anger.

Because if you don't,
you're gonna be a statistic.

And that's not what
I want for you.

Y'all are both black men.

Y'all gonna grow up and
be black men anyway.

Right now y'all acting
like little boys.

Y'all gotta do better than this.

Yes sir.

Do you understand me?

Yes sir.

Do you understand me?

Yes sir.

Now this can't happen no more.

Do I need to go ahead
and just suspend y'all?

Put y'all out of school
so you can learn a lesson?

- No.
- No sir.

Do we need to call your momma?

No sir.

Do we need to call your momma?

Are you sure?

Yes.

Because this mess
need to be over with.

Is it over with?

Shake hands.

Now I don't want to
see this mess no more.

Go your separate ways.

Acting crazy.

Man what's up my people.

[Keenan] What's up with you?

Oh man, long time no see man!

What's up cos?

What's up bro?

You know I love you man.

[Marvin] Come on get your hug.

Yeah!

Who you got here?

Yeah?

Dayton and Dulsa?

[Marvin] Dayton, Dulsa
y'all look like some twins.

Like some twins!

They are!

They are twins!

Those my twins!

Brother got twins!

Brother got twins!

Twins, twins twins!

Lord, this is a message to you.

I don't know what else to do.

And I speak for my crew,

'cause this is what
we all going through.

Our pain runs deep.

How deep?

So deep I can't even sleep.

Tossing and turning,
chest burning.

Why's this all we're earning.

Nine to five, minimum wage,

man is this why I'm working?

I'm living check
by check, stressed,

but blessed to be living.

I'm still willing to strive,

prospect these means to beings.

But that lifestyle
involves some dirty dealing

that's not appealing.

A storm cloud's covering
my mental vision.

It still burns.

The world still turns.

As we get closer to the end
of our worldly life terms.

And these are the
days of our lives.

As the world turns.

These are the days of our
lives as the world turns.

I sit still and my mind travels
a million miles a minute.

I'm thinking about the
world and how we fit in it.

We're just really mere molecules

and we need earthly
things to survive.

To survive.

And I strive to
appreciate all life

which helps me stay alive.

If there was no food
chain, you couldn't eat.

So you can't say that you
stand on your own feet.

If there was no gravity we'd
all be floating and go away.

So let's make this world better

and not just try to maintain.

And these things could drive
a thoughtful person to pain.

And doctors could give you drugs

and diagnose of this
loose in your brain.

When you hunger for good
I bet you find pain.

And then you find others
who like you feel the same.

And these are just the
small pieces of emotions

that run through my brain.

[low tempo music]

To give us a space to try things

and do things and
discover who is

that they need to be,
and who needs to be out.

They give us a machine that
can fail in those spaces

but the family
gives us that space.

And they fail to describe
a fraction of the hope

sometimes it's what's necessary.

Sometimes we it's odd,
but we feel we need to do.

Hey Miss Corlowe,
tell Mr. Robertson

that I'm ready for him.

[Keenan] How you doing doc?

Nice to see you.

[Keenan] Absolutely.

Have a seat for me, have a seat.

Yes sir.

So, I've been watching you work

obviously over the
last couple of months.

Our boys and girls love you.

Every time I sit down and have
a conversation with a parent

they consistently tell me
that you're making connections

with the boys and girls.

And you're pushing
them to new heights.

As you know we have a
teacher that's retiring

at the end of the school year.

And I would like to
just formally offer you

a position to join our team.

Wow.

Thank you.

Absolutely, yes sir.

I'm, yes.

What do I need to do?

So there's a couple
of steps I can take.

Obviously we gonna make the
offer at the school level.

Our HR department
will reach out to you.

They'll make the official offer

and talk salary, compensation.

And then you'll accept
the job with them.

But I'm excited to have
you as part of the team.

I know you gonna
change lives here.

Thank you, look thank you.

Man I appreciate
y'all getting me.

I've been praying for a job.

This is a blessing, I
really appreciate you.

Well, my pleasure.

We're looking forward to seeing
how you change lives here.

Yes sir, thank you.

All right.

[Keenan] Oh man,
what's up with you bro?

What's going on?

I'm chilling man,
I'm chilling you know.

Woo.

So what's been up with you?

What you got going on?

What you reading over
there, the Bible?

Yeah, reading the Bible.

Trying to find some
inspiration for my poetry book.

Okay, okay.

Where you at in there?

Genesis 22.

Oh okay, oh you already
got this one marked off on me

you must knew.

[laughs]

All right.

Yeah.

Oh man guess what, I got
some good news though bro.

What happened, what's
going on with you?

Man, today you know I been
subbing at my job and stuff.

Yeah, I see you
looking all clean.

Right, right, right right right.

Principal called
me into the office,

I'm thinking like man I'm
probably in trouble or something

man because you know I'm
in there going hamburgers,

you know telling kids to
stop, get your life together.

But you off in
the projects though.

Right, deep off in the hood.

But you know I can relate
to those kind of kids.

And that's what he said.

He was like look, Mr. Robertson

you been doing a good job

and parents giving me good
compliments about you.

We got a teacher retiring,

we want you to come
work full time for us.

Yeah, he offered me
the job today man!

I was like, woo!

Hallelujah!

God bless you, be
like yes sir, yes sir!

Right right man.

Man, God bless you.

What you gonna do with
all that product you got?

Oh, you talking about that?

I mean.

Okay, so this is
what I'm thinking.

I talked to little man TI.

And they told me just
give him the bread

for what I got rid of,

but for the rest of the stuff
you know, I can take back.

And they said
they'd take it back.

You know, they don't
normally do that.

There ain't no
refunds in the hood.

Hey, but he didn't really
want you to take it no ways.

Right right.

That's real love right there.

Right, I didn't really
wanna go that way anyway.

Kind of like, kind of like
every hymn in this psalm.

Like the ram and the bush.

You know God gave me an outlet

to where I didn't have to do,

you know, 'cause I didn't
really want to do that.

Right.

That's a lot of risk.

You was gonna
sacrifice your freedom.

Freedom.

Right.

In my life and everything else.

Right.

To get money.

Right, trying to survive.

Right.

But you know Bob Marley said,

Bob Marley said
numbers are endless.

So if you're searching for
numbers for your happiness,

you ain't never gonna be happy.

So you know it just kind of
made me think about that.

Well let me think
about that for a second.

Yeah man.

Man, wow.

Yeah man.

Right.

Because you can always just
add some zeros infinitely.

Right.

Infinitely.

Right so I'm just glad God
did what he did for me.

Like divinity.

That was a super big
blessing man, for real.

Man, everything seems
to be turning around man.

Right.

You put God first,
and put trust up in him,

it seems like no,
I know for a fact.

I can testify.

You have blessings in your life.

Absolutely.

You have trials and
tribulations, yes,

but you have blessings
in your life.

Right.

You know my book's
about to get published.

You just got promoted.

Oh yeah, they did that?

That dude at your work?

Man!

Congratulations man!

You know what's what I'm
saying, get the inspiration

go ahead and finish
that that project!

The concert we're
practicing for.

Right, right, right.

And then, I think we
need to go celebrate.

Hey, matter of fact.

My boss said he was gonna
take us four-wheeling man,

he said hey we gonna take
a four-wheeling trip,

do you wanna go?

Are you asking me to go?

Yeah, I'm asking you to go.

Yeah, I'll go!

Yeah!

There's nothing wrong
for that mountain!

For sure, yeah absolutely.

That sounds fun.

You know I need to
celebrate anyway.

God's just been
blessing me lately.

And well, he been
blessing my whole life,

but really lately he been
coming through for me man.

Yeah, you was in a dark place.

That I ain't know,
we both for it man.

You know, just, you
come to a crossroads

and if you lean towards God,
you gonna make the right path.

Right.

And I mean, I'm just glad
I got you as a brother man.

Somebody go through that with.

Absolutely man, me too.

Me too.

Make sure you stay in your
place, little brother.

[laughs]

That's what God got.

You know we ain't
nothing without God man.

That's the realest thing
ever man, I love that.

You gonna accept.

Your inself is your energy.

Like I put on every
post about Nispey.

Energy never dies.

Your energy is here.

You know what I'm saying,

and then the thing, Nispey
modeled himself after Pot.

He said thug life.

He screamed pot.

All that.

And look what he did.

He's just not common.

[sneezes]

[Marvin] Bless you.

We need a miracle.

We need a miracle,

God let me just
lay hands on her.

God please.

I know you have
healing in your power.

I don't know if we're
supposed to speak it

But God let her be
healed, in Jesus' name.

Lord, please bless her.

I know that you can
heal all wounds.

I know that you the author
and creator of our faith.

And you get to decide

It's crazy though, it's crazy.

Did you see when

Right, she flew through
the air like Superman.

[laughs]

For real.

I guess I can
laugh about it now,

because she seem like
she okay, but golly

she flew off that four-wheeler.

Right, right.

Man.

God do answer
prayers though man.

For real, nothing
without God man.

It couldn't have
been a coincidence.

Right.

Yeah, nothing without God.

Man all right, let's uh.

Man, I'm a go clear my head man.

Be safe man.

[Keenan] Marvin!

Yeah, I'm over here!

[Keenan] Where, I can't see you!

I see you, I see you!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on bro!

[Boss] Man what

Hey that's Dead Man's curve.

Man, nobody ever makes

Man, y'all lucky.

us that wasn't luck.

You all right?

You got some water?

[Boss] Got water.

Man.

Thought I just died.

You did.

You all right man?

It's a long way down Marvin.

Come on man, let's
get up out of here.

I need a tow.

That's when I
stopped and put her.

And you all right?

Four-wheeler, four-wheeler.

Screw the four-wheeler man.

You all right?

I think so.

[laughs]

I think so.

Yeah, you all right.

Man.

I didn't really
realize I wrecked

at Dead Man's curve though,

so all I could think about
was the four-wheeler.

I wrecked your stuff.

I knew I was okay, so I
was concerned about that.

You know then I heard
him I was like aw man.

I didn't hear it.

I didn't hear the four-wheeler
or nothing no more.

So I jumped off and went
down this little ravine

where I saw the brush
had been broken.

And I saw him
hanging down there.

And there wasn't nothing
underneath of him.

It was like, just like a drop
off the side of a mountain.

And when I walked down there.

I slid, I almost fell
in that, just me.

So you know I grabbed him
and tried to pull him up.

But you know, he kinda heavy.

So, you know but we got
up out of there man.

It was crazy

[hip hop beat]

You want my cupcake?

[laughs]

There's some food
at the house bro.
