Glory be to God!

What's happening, pimps?

[laughing]: Hey!

What's up, Dianne?

Oh, this better be good, hmm?

What's up? You ain't happy to see your boy?

You said you had something to tell me about Jason,

so what is it?Okay, okay.

Pops said that he wants you with Jason

so much that he's never,

ever sending any good man your way again.

None. Finito.

Whew! So glad to get that off my chest.

That was a burden on me.

D-D-D-Did you just curse me?

Nah, nah, not me.

God. Pops.

Okay, you had me come all the way down here

to curse me?

Couldn't tell you nothing like that on the phone.

That's some [bleep] shit to say to somebody.

Jesus Christ, you are such a [bleep] asshole!

[bleep] you, you fake-ass

giant ashy ankle crusty nail

stupid-ass hood rat mother[bleep]!

Looking like a big-ass sack of potatoes.

Man, I'm so happy to see you, man!

Where the homies at?

Uh, they're, uh...

Oh.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Oh, all right, I-I get it, I get it.

They must got something big planned for your boy.

Tell me they didn't. They ain't do that, did they?

I don't think,

I don't think so, no.

Okay, it's gonna be cake.

They gotta have cake, you know what I'm sayin'?

You know your boy love cake.

Carrot cake, banana cake...

Listen, big guy,

That's it. Pick me up in what?

I'm so glad to be home.

By the window.

Stop losing shit all the time.

BOONIE: Oh, there you go.

Man, you just getting here?

Where was you at all night?

Where your ass ain't never at.

Getting this money, nigga.

Well, maybe I could give money,

if a certain selfish nigga

would let his homeboys in on his little secret hustle.

Mm-hmm. Nigga, trust me,

ain't a damn one of y'all built for this hustle.

Hey, but what y'all doing later on, though?

Man, you forgot what today is, huh?

What's today?Jesus coming back today.

Nigga, you serious? That's today?

Yeah. So we good.

Jesus coming back,

I-I know he got a plan from God

to let us know what to do.

Nigga, we ain't good!

We gotta clean this place up!

Man, get up! Fish!

Hey, relax, go wash your ass, man.

We was just about to clean up, man.

It won't take but two minutes.

No, nigga, call Trayvon.

Tell him we need him to go to the store.

Trayvon already went to pick up Jesus.

FISH: When he supposed to get out?

Man, they're supposed to be back in, like, uh,

not that long, man.Hold on, let me check.

Oh. Shit.

I missed y'all. Man, I love you guys so much, man.

I'm so glad to be home.

[rattling doorknob]

Well! Look who it is!

Jesus Christ!

Mr. I'm Holier than Everybody in the Whole [bleep] World.

[laughing]: Hey!

What's crackin' with you, Lloyd?

What you got going on right here?

What's crackin' is, things have changed around here.

What residence are you here to visit?

Aw, come on, man.

You know I'm here to see Fish.

And I need two forms of I.D.

Lloyd, you know me, man.

Come on, man, it's your boy.

[chuckling]Hey!

I need your Social Security number, punks!

Man, this is about to be so bomb!

You know I ain't never had no surprise party, man.

I'm about to act surprised as a mug.

I might get up there and scream and pee on myself or something.

Is that too much? Come on, Trayvon.

Hey, Jesus, I suggest lowering your expectations a little.

[chuckles]

[knocking on door]

♪ Jesus!

What up, baby?

Welcome home!

JASON: Hey, Jee, what's up, man?

What's up, my N-word? What's happening, baby?

I can't believe this shit.

TRAYVON: I, um,

I told you to lower your expectations.

The day Jesus returns

to walk with his homies on this earth one more time,

and this is what the [bleep] I get?

I'm sorry, Jesus, man.

I'll take full responsibility.

But don't even trip, though. I got something for you.

JESUS: Really, Fish? For real?

Aw, man! Talk about ungrateful, man.

All y'all just like, "Oh, whatever, it's Jesus.

"Oh, Heavenly Shepherd.

"Oh, he ain't tripping.

What's up with all this sharing?

You trying to stay here?

I mean, maybe just for a night or two.

FISH: Oh, hell, nah.

Says right here that this unit has a two-nigga limit.

LLOYD: Two niggas.

Right now, I'm counting two, three,

Anybody that violates these rules

is subject to immediate expulsion

from the complex.

Vic, man, come on, man.

Chill out, man, stop tripping.

'cause there's also some new visiting hours.

From 8:00 to 6:00 p.m.6:00.

Anybody found on the complex after those hours

who is not a resident will also be subject

to immediate expulsion from the complex.

Management also reserves the right

to enter any unit at any time,

without prior notice,

to enforce these rules.

Management also got the right to get its ass blasted

if he come in my place without notice.

With what? A rubber band?

Nigga, you on parole. You ain't got no gun.

You don't know what the [bleep] I got.

Look, nigga, stop trying to act tough with me, okay?

You ain't tough. You a male model, nigga.

Right now you should be somewhere, in your drawers,

trying to sell some perfume.

[Lloyd snickering]Obey the rules.

Nigga, do you got a crush on me or something?

Vic got a crush on Fish, and Lloyd jealous.

Hey, ya'll niggas should be trying to figure out

which two of y'all is gonna be getting out of here tonight.

That's right!

Man, God wants y'all to work that out.

And he want to see the homies living phat, man,

That bitch is crossing the line, hear?

Listen, all I need you to do

is to go over there and make her understand

We're not enforcers, Mom.I'll go over there and teach that bitch a lesson.

Thank you, Fish, real man who I wish was my son.

You know what, Ma? You gonna try that shit

Amen.[whoops] I love it.

This gonna cost me some money?

Not a dime.Hallelujah.

She's so phony with you, Jesus. She want me and Fish

We ain't got to do the janky shit no more-- we good.

I understand, Lord, and, oh, you know I be trying to walk

in your holy and righteous path. You know that, right?

Man, I can't believe this, man.

Look, man, I'm sorry, man, but if y'all don't want

to follow your boy, it's cool, man.

I can pack up and hit a new spot, get some new followers,

people who want to spread the Word of God, man.

I'm out of here, man. I'm headed to Inglewood,

where folks appreciate your boy.

Hey, Jee, hey, I was just driving the car, man.

MS. TUDI: Don't worry about it, Fish.

He said that before.

He ain't going nowhere. He's Jesus.

FISH: You just goin', forsakin' us like that?

[knocking on side of van]

Yo. I talk to you for a second?

Look, man, I just...

I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

I mean, I feel like lately there's a lot of distance

between us, and I know it's my fault.

I just been doing a lot of stuff lately

that I ain't exactly proud of, Jee.

But that's the only way I'm surviving.

And not just for me, man.

I've been holding down Boonie and J.

We thought you was gonna be gone for a few days, man.

You been gone for, like, six months.

I know, man. It's my bad, dawg.

I-I didn't even want to leave.Well, what about us, Jee?

We needed you, too, man. We still need you.

Niggas love you, brah.

I love you.

We don't want you to go, man.

Look, dawg...

Pops don't want us in jail, man.

He don't want us locked up.

And if I'm gonna stick around, dawg,

you gonna have to straighten up, man.

Well, that's what I'm-a do then, Jee.

Whatever you say, I'm with that.

But first I got to get my homeboy head right, though.
