Gregory Reed!

Greg, school time. I'm not gonna tell you again, boy!

Damn.

Jamal, get outta my bed, man.

Ow! My butt.

Greg. Greg!

Oh, there you are, boy. Sit down and eat.

Greg pushed me out the bed, Ma.

No, I didn't. Shut up, you little punk.

Don't call him that. And I heard him hit the floor.

You, right here.

Would somebody please pass me the bacon?

Here you go, Granddaddy. You can have some of mine.

No, he can't. Eat the food, boy.

Oh, Ma, Dad, when you all gonna hook a brother up with some "mins" for the prom?

When you ask me in English, I'll answer you.

I want bacon! I want bacon!

I want bacon!

No. Now take these pills.

The doctor said to avoid meat.

So I die Wednesday instead of Thursday.

Who gives a shit?

If I don't get some bacon, I'm gonna spit all over everybody's food!

Oh, not today.Uh-uh. No.

All right, all right. Here. Take the damn bacon. And cut the shit!

You're a good boy, Son.

Parents, can you find it in your heart...

to give your son some money to fund his senior prom activities?

No.Hell, no!

Aw, come on. It's my senior prom.

Bacon!Oh, Lord. It's 7:15 already.

Greg, you have a job.

You can fund your own prom activities.

I can't get a fly tux with what I make at the Rib Shack.

Told you to save your money, boy.Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

But, no, you had to go buy some $150 tennis shoes.

You know in some foreign countries,

for $150 you can buy some damn feet?

Daddy, they're Jordans. Necessary gear for a brother.

You will be necessarily naked at the prom, 'cause you ain't gettin' no money here.

Daddy.Don't even try it.

Gramps, can you help me?Why you askin' me?

I just had to show my ass to get a strip of bacon.

Why y'all coming down on me?

'Cause you're a senior, and you haven't filled out one college application yet.

What the hell? Greg, you promised me you'd take care of that.

I-I'ma get round to it.Then we'll get round to givin' you money for the prom.

Greg, what are you gonna do after you graduate?

You better think about your future, boy.Your father and I go out...

You are about to graduate outta here.

We have asked you to do one little thing.

Fill out the college applications...

♪ G's got it

Ladies, do you want some grapes?

I want some grapes. When are you getting in here?

Well, Greg, I'll get right down to it.

We want you at Harvard University.

I think you'd fit right in.Well, of course he would.

Greg is a wonderful son.

He makes me want to have sex with his mama again.

Oh.

What kind of honeys y'all got up in there?

Well, Harvard boasts some of the most refined,

intelligent young women in the...Next!

Greg, my brother, you don't need to be educated by the white man.

Now, Morehoward,

this country's premier black university,

wants you.

Yeah, well, uh, you see, my son...

is concerned about what kind of women y'all have up there.

That's right.Because, you see,

we expect him to get a whole lot of sex while he's in college.

My people. My people.

Mo-Ho has some of the finest sisters in the world. That's right.

And they give it up easy.

Good, 'cause I don't like my son to have to wait for the booty.

Now let's cut to the chase. What kind of basketball team y'all got up there?

Uh, team?

You see, we got a team, but...

Where did y'all place in the N.C.A.A. finals last year?

Um, we got the bombest lacrosse team in the country, bro.

Negro, say what?Lacrosse, brother.

You want my son to play lacrosse? Get out!

But-But, brother, we...Out!

Before I have to kick your ass lacrosse the street!

Out! Get out! Give Mo-Ho a chance.

What about the United Negro College Fund?

Peace out, my brother.

Greg, how about coming to Minnesota?

Minnesota?

What do y'all have to offer up in cow country?

Um, welcome to the Twin Cities, Greg.

You better stop all that daydreamin', boy.

There ain't nothin' wrong with daydreamin'.

Well, there is if you ain't doing nothin' with your life.

Greg, life is real. It's time for you to get real with it.

No prom money unless you get some college applications goin'.

That's right. Not a penny.What are you gonna do about your life?

Man, fuck college!

My Mom's always be nagging me about college too. I just ignore her.

Yeah, I told my old lady I ain't even tryin' to hear that shit.

Nah, you couldn't have said that. You still got your teeth.

Damn, man.

Oh, no. You just did not spit on everybody back here.

Cover your mouth.

Whoa!

Excuse you!My bad.

Hello? What's up?

I haven't made up my mind about the prom yet.

People got scars. They break dancin' on Formica and stuff.

You gotta understand. Hey, June.

Let me call you back, all right?

What's up, man?What's up, baby?

Listen, man...What?

I'm gonna tell you right now, watches are five dollars today.

It's some old school stuff, but you know, I got you.

Yo, June, what are you selling now?

Disc players, man. Pookie hooked me up.

Where'd he get 'em from?You know.

Truck goes over a bump,

about 12 of those bad boys fall off a truck, and there you go.

June, they're stolen, just like them vibrators you had last week.

Man, you gotta get out of this mess.

It's that old school zag. June! June!

All right, remember this?

June, you got the CD's all day.

Hey, Greg.

June, I got our colors picked out for the prom.

What?You're taking me, remember?

No, I'm not.

Wait a minute. I already got the dress.

Oh, well, I changed my mind.After you got with me?

No. No, it wasn't right after I got with you. That was two weeks ago.

You know you lyin'!

Nigga, do you know how much money my mama spent on that dress?

June, watch out, man. Women take prom seriously.

Oh, man, I got it all under control.That's what you think, man.

What's up, my brothers?Man, we just finished getting chased...

Fish man!by some beastie women.

He gonna get his ass whooped fuckin' with her.That's what I'm talkin' about.

Last tape... Oh! Oh, what's up, Snap? How you?

Oh, I'm ugly, just 'cause I don't wear makeup like you, huh?

When I roll up.Oh.

All right?

'Cause if you drink the limo liquor, you alcoholic.

And let's call some hookers, man. In the limo.

Did you see that kiss? Yes.

We going to the prom.Oh, God. June?

Why? You know he has a girl. He got a lot of girls.

Well, I'm gonna be that girl that goes to the prom.

Ooh, what about Rashid?Rashid?

Yes,Uh-uh. His dashiki stay dirty.

Mm-mmm. That's you. Yes, it is.Uh-uh. No.

Okay, everybody. Quiet. Quiet.

I know you want to talk about what you did last night,

but this is something that's very important.

Something that took place about 60 years ago.

So we have to talk about it.

Harlem Renaissance.

Some brothers and sisters wrote a lot of good stuff then.

The end!

No, but seriously, people,

we all make our own philosophy.

We just have to learn to articulate it, all right?

Now, the Harlem Renaissance writers...

put their philosophy into their works.

What I want you to do is to put your work into action.

Miss Hawkins, I'm a prospective employer,

so I'm trying to see if I should give you a job

or to dump you like so much unemployable trash.

So I want you to describe yourself to me.

Well, I would say that I'm a hard worker, and my G.P.A. is...

Miss Hawkins, I'm a crazy employer.

I majored in philosophy. I'm a nut.

I want you to give me the essence of yourself,

the reason beyond the obvious as to why I should hire you.

Well, then I'd say...

that I am the light that illuminates the answers...

to everything you need to know.

Go, girl!

That's my cousin. She's so deep.

Damn, that's all right.

Miss Hawkins, you are hired.

You get the job, you get the bonus...

and the company car,

which is not quite as nice as mine.

Mr. Reed? Mr. Reed!

- Hmm? What? Yeah. - Me too.

Oh, Harlem is in New York. Yeah, it's in New York. Yeah.

Got a cousin that lives there. Mm-hmm.

Mr. Reed, you don't get the job,

you don't get the bonus,

and I kick your butt out the door.

Here's the bottom line, students.

If you don't know yourself, what do you know?

School has got to be about more than just memorizing...

what great people did.

Or playing it safe.

It is learning to find your own greatness.

Greg, that young lady is one of the most exceptional students...

I've ever had the pleasure of being around.

You can just look at her and see that she's destined for greatness.

Men are drawn to women with greatness in them, Greg.

We need that power to fuel our own dreams.

And you know what?

You'll never have her.

You don't get to the moon, Greg, riding a bicycle.

And you certainly don't get a fine young lady like Ms. Hawkins, half-assing.

I ain't half-assing. I gave a bad answer.

No, it's more than that.

Greg, I've watched you become a young man here.

I've also watched you become afraid of trying to better yourself.

Afraid? I'm about to graduate.

The real deal starts when school ends.

That's when life begins.

Hey, you want me to ask Phillip to hook you up with his friend?

I don't need a man.

I mean, my personality and my mind is all I need.

You guys are juniors, you understand?

You juniors, you gotta handle your business.

All right, man. Good lookin' out.

So, who's gonna take over the legacy?

June!

Excuse me. Get outta the way.

Get outta my way. Excuse me.

Where is that... Where...

Ooh.

Cinny, I gotta talk to you.

Hi, Greg.

Look, stop pushing up on my cousin.

Take that discount-player act on the road.

Annetta. Midterm.

Girl, I'll see you at fifth period.

Okay.Don't look at me.

Bye.

Oop, I need these right here.

Uh... Duh... Oh, hey, Cinny.

Um yeah, look, I was wondering if, um...

I mean, we've been going to school for a number of years now,

and the whole barbecue incident probably kills all of this,

but what I really wanted to know was, um...

Greg, I have a boyfriend.

How you know that's what I want?

Oh. Sorry. That was kind of conceited of me. What do you want?

To be your boyfriend.

No, Cinny. Wait, wait. Hold on.

Cinny, come on. You know I was jokin' about the boyfriend thing.

I don't have time to be anyone's boyfriend in the first place...

filling out college applications, and all.

Oh. Yeah, that's hard work, right?Yeah, of course.

Where are you applying?

State, university... all of them. You know.

Yeah. You must be on, uh, wait listed or late admissions.

There you go. Whoo. It's a trip.

How'd your S.A.T.'s turn out?Good, good. Big numbers.

Look here, I was wondering if...

You know,

I really need someone to talk to about this whole college thing.

I mean, everyone around here tryin' to distract a brother...

when he's tryin' to get his college on.

You know what I mean? I mean...

They just make it... so hard.

Now you know you need to quit.

Okay, not that hard.

Look, um, Greg, I don't mind hooking up to talk about college.

Cool. Cool.Um, here.

Call me.Will do.

Okay. All right.

Hey, I was looking for this.

Oh, yeah. Go ahead. You can take it. Yeah, I read it.

Go ahead. It's a good book.

Wait a minute. He told you he was taking you to the prom?

Yes. What did he tell you?He told me he was taking me.

Yeah. Got them digits, my brother.

All right. A hundred more, and you'll be like me, man.

Man, go ahead.Hey, Greg, do me a favor.

What's that?Hold this.

Is that his friend Greg?Greg, where's June?

He went that way. Get his ass.

I am gonna find him, and I'm gonna kick his ass. I'm tired...

Women be trippin', man.

Oh!What's up, my brothers?

Yo, check it out.

I found out where Carl's sneak party is this weekend.

Hook us up with the 411.Now hold on. Hold up, man.

You can't get the 411 until one of y'all nappy-head brothers...

hook me up with a date for the prom.

All right?This cat here. Check this out. Rita.

That's what I'm talking about. Right there, baby.

How you doin'?Hey, June.

This is my man, Fish. Fish, this is Rita.Hi.

Rita, how would you like to go to the prom with Fish?

You gotta be kiddin', June. I can do better than that.

I forgot they can see your ugly ass.

June, what the fuck is wrong with you, man?

Tryin' to hook me up with that old stank-ass heifer. You see her feet?

Yo, she comin' back.

Excuse me, but you did not just call me a stank heifer.

Oh, I'm sorry, sister. Did I say stank heifer?

See, what I meant to say was, you ugly beeyatch!

Oh! Damn!

You see that big ship?

My father works at the docks loading machine parts...

on boats just like that.

When I was 10, he took me on board my first ship.

It was huge.

There were all these brothers there,

but they spoke French.

Never seen anything like it.

It made me feel...

Small?

Yeah.

Like there was a whole lot I didn't know.

You know, my dad's cool and all,

but he never once stops to think

of how those little machine parts...

will get to go places he'll never see.

But I do.

Every time I see one of those ships,

I think of where it's headed,

and if I'll ever get there.

No, no, no, no, Son. I don't need no "Niagara."

I'll tell you that right now. It was just a recommendation.

Yes.The man doesn't know you.

I know he don't know me! But the whole thing in a nutshell is this...

Shh!

What's going on?He's finally filling out those college applications.

Well, good.

Now I don't have to go to jail for killin' his ass.

I thought you said the boy was stupid.

I... I never said the boy was stupid.

Whatever. I'm going into the kitchen.You stay out of that pork.

I know I didn't hear him say you called my child stupid.

You're right. You know I didn't say that.

What I said was the boy needs to bring his grades up. That's all I said.

Why would he lie? He don't have no reason to lie on you.

Why would he lie? What...I got one question to ask you. Where you sleeping at tonight?

That's what I'm talkin' about.What?

What are you doing?

I'm filling out my college applications.

Why?

College is for smart kids.

Now you are dumb.

You're just jealous 'cause I'm the man.

To get a piece of pork. He's lyin'!

You spelled "education" wrong.Boy, please.

I-I've been spelling before you was born. Boy, go ahead.

Ignorant little...

I'm telling you, the man is a pathological liar.

He ain't got no reason to lie on you.

He lies all the time!He may lie to you, but he don't lie to me.

Let's go do it.Hey, G,

Damn. Tell him I'm busy gettin' busy.

He knows what I mean. Whoo.

Yo, G, these rich boys need assistance with their grades.

Yeah.

Please. We have money.

But we're fuckups who screwed up our whole semester

thinking we were better than you.

Give them my butt to kiss first.

Your butt?

Oh, man.

No, no. Get all in the crack. Yeah.

There. Done.What'd you do?

I broke the school's computer code,

Girl, go get a steak sandwich or something.

Your navel ring is crooked.

Where'd you get that done, Crenshaw? Get out of here.

Yeah, whatever it is.Yeah, whatever, nigga.

There it is. Where everybody at?

It's a sneak party, fool. What you think?

You're not supposed to park out front.

You're supposed to park in the back.

Damn. Man, this is V.I.P. Sneak party.

Whoo! Sneak party!

Sneak party!

Names?

Oh...

What? What? What? Names?

Since when did sneak party get a guest list?

Since now, little man. Twiggy.

Baby Godzilla got jokes!

I know you just didn't say that. You ain't never gettin' in with that attitude.

Callin' me Baby Godzilla. Who he think he is?Let me talk to you for a second.

With his little worm-head self. Gonna try to tell me. I got the list.

She been drinkin' too much milk.She kinda big, but we trying to groove.

Are you... Are you serious?

All right, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.All right, let's go.

What'd you say to her?I told her I'd take her to the prom.

My man.

Fish is in the house!

Get a room! Get a room! Get a room!

Damn! Whoo!

Yo, they're ballin' up in this piece.

You like that, don't you, boy?

Ooh.

Whoo! Move over that way.

What?

So?No, no, no, girl. Look it.

I swear that Master P is my cousin, girl.

You seen Dennia?No, I ain't seen her, bro.

Look here now.Wait a minute. I know who you are.

I go to school with a couple of your kids.

Wait a minute. You are Tyricus's dad.

Tyricus! Your daddy over here tryin' to flirt with everybody!

Look, Phillip, I think I need a little space.

Like, in my life.You need space?

You need me. That's all you need to worry about.

Greg, cut it out. I just...Greg?

Who the hell is Greg?

Cinny, is everything okay?Greg.

Oh, this is Greg. Yo, you need to stay the hell away from my woman.

I am not your woman! That's all I've been trying to tell you all night.

Yo, like I said, your punk ass is mine!

Are you listening to me?You need to chill out.

Are you listening to me at all?

Yo, later for you, man. Later for you,

Philip Michael Thomas-lookin' knob.

My God. I am so sorry.

No, it's all right.

I think you deserve a lot better.

So... in light of what happened,

I figure you probably don't have a date to the prom anymore, but...

Greg.

I... I just kind of thought that dating would mess things up between us.

Maybe we should just stay friends.

Hey, you know what? I forgot totally. Wow.

I came up here to tell you something. I got into college.

Greg, you did? Oh, congratulations!

What college?UCLA.

Really? Tell me about it.

Not much to tell. Got the letter, got happy.

Oh...It's just such good news. I'm so happy about it.

Now, please, don't say no to the prom.

Okay. Yeah, I'll go with you.

Wanna dance?Sure.

Mmm.

Mmm. It's time to get our food on, baby.

Mmm. What? Food on.

Ooh, how you doing, baby? You havin' a good time?

Mm-hmm.Uh-uh. Look, Fish man got something for you.

There you go. Why don't you go ahead and suck on... I mean, uh, sip on that.

Damn!What, you don't like it?

That's good.That's what I'm talkin' about, baby.

Yo, Fish.What's up, boy?

I got her to go to prom with me.Who, Cinny?

That's right.My man!

All right, man, lookee here.

Why don't you slide your boy a condom, man.

I got me some hot drawers right here.

I'm gonna tear it up.Come on, Fish.

I'm coming, boo. That's what I'm talkin' about.

Here, man.

Oh, man, this is bullshit! Man, this old-ass condom?

This like the one Adam used on Eve.

That's right! You ain't getting my new one.

Why not? You...

Cinny. Ha! My man.

Damn, man. Tear it up.

Dark chocolate.Ooh. Damn.

Mmm.

I feel it. Are you sure that's chocolate or some other liquid?

It's chocolate, baby.Oh, for real? It's not slobber?

Mmm. That's saliva.

That's a tongue. Mmm.

Lemmie just, uh, some whipped cream.Mm-hmm.

Whoo.Some sprinkles.

Gots to have the sprinkles.

Anybody seen Dennia?

Hey, somebody seen my butterfly?

Got to have the banana.Oh! Where you wanna put that?

This is you right here?What?

Baller.

Chrome wheels. Oh, man.

Whoo!Well, a little graduation presents from my parents.

Whoo. I can't even get a pair of skates in my house.

Where's my butterfly?

Where's my butterfly?

♪ Why am I so nasty?

♪ And I tried my best to answer ♪

♪ What's your girlfriend lookin' at? ♪

♪ And now I'm in the back room ♪

Huh?Hey, baby.

Snap!

I just wanted you to know that...

you've been a good friend to me lately.

Aw...No, I mean it.

I wanted you to know I appreciate that.

You're welcome.

But it hasn't been easy.

What, you don't like hangin' with me?

What's that?

No, it's not that. It's...

I'm feelin' something bigger than friendship.

Hey, yo, Greg. Greg, do me a favor.

Get my clothes, all right? Get my clothes.What you talkin' 'bout?

Did you see her tattoo? Your ass is mine!

Hey, yo. So, Greg, baby, you and Cinny.

I'm proud of you, son.

Shoot, I can't believe how fast you pulled Dennia.

Uh, let's not forget I pulled Vanessa.

Fish, the girl was drunk, all right?

She's probably at home right now trying to kill herself.

Uh-uh. She's home trying to find a prom dress, 'cause I'm takin' her.

All right.

Yo, June.What's up?

What you gonna do after school is over?

Gonna start my own 900 hotline.

But I'm gonna call it "Psychic Honey Hotline."

You see what I'm saying? Press "1" for psychic advice.

Press "2" to get your groove on.

I know what I'm doing when school is over.

Yeah, me too. The 12th grade again, stupid.

No. And I'm takin' your mama to the prom.

Fish, man, for real. I done told you, and I'm tryin' to be nice.

All right. I'm sensitive about getting left back!

You know what I'm saying? I got big plans too.What's your job gonna be?

First of all, I'm gonna be the man.

Second of all, I'm gonna be rich, rich, Richie Rich.

And third, I'm hittin' a different girl every night!

What's your job gonna be?

Who cares when you're hittin' a different girl every night?

Y'all both being unrealistic.

What?You just being a butt.

Fuck you. I know what it is.

It's Cinny. That's what it... Yup.Mm-hmm.

She probably hit you off with some of that philosophical booty.

No, I'm just thinkin' about the future, that's all.

You should just forget about the future and focus on the prom.

We going with the flyest girls.Mm-hmm.

We got the flyest limo.Mm-hmm.

We gonna be struttin' into the biggest night of our lives.Mm-hmm.

Let the future come when it comes, you know what I'm saying?

All right?

All right?Yeah, man. No doubt.

That's my dog. My dog.

Go on, girl. Go on, girl.

Meet me at my house.Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Carryin' books, kissin' all in public.

Look at you. Oh, what's up, Snap?

That's not funny.

Hey, fellas, fellas. Hey, hey, hey, ho, ho.

Looks like you're ready for Career Day.

But it's in the opposite direction.

Oh... Oh.

Well, Mr. Shapic, they got any professional rappers up in there?

'Cause if they do, that's where me gonna be.

Did you know that a rapper has to learn

traditional forms of rhyme and syntax?

Basically everything you were supposed to learn in English.

I'll just be a manager then.

They got a lover's booth over there? 'Cause that's where I'm gonna be.

Yeah, yeah, June, you could make a lot of money doing that.

Male prostitute...

See, but you're going the wrong way.

Selling sex for money is prostitution.

Just like his mama.

Yo. For real, man, that's not funny.

What did I tell you about that, man?

What about you, Greg?

Oh, I don't know.

Well, then there are some options

I think you might want to check out at Career Day.

I'll be a teacher if I could drive a car like yours.

You want to drive a car like mine?Yes, indeed.

I worked hard for that car, Greg.

Before I was a teacher, I was a businessman.

I owned my own company for 20 years.

In fact, I was just like you dogs when I was in high school.

And then I met someone who told me about choices.

I had no idea. He said, "You can go left,

or you can do what's right."

Now, I'm... I'm headed for the future, guys.

Who's brave enough to join me?

Man, I'm skippin' next period. I'm down.

Not me, man. I'm meeting Cinny.

Damn, man. You always with that old chicken-head-ass girl. You can't get enough of her.

That's right. Can't get enough.

You know what? You should have seen Shawn's face

when I told him you knocked Cinny's boots at that sneak party, dog.

What? Fish, what the fuck did you do that for, man?

Yo, man. Chill. Geez.My shirt.

What's the matter with you, man?What the hell's your problem?

Nothin', man. It's just she's real sensitive about that kind of stuff.

I don't want it getting back to her.

I'm sensitive about my shirt.

You shouldn't have told Shawn. You got a big mouth.

Shawn ain't got nothin' to do with my shirt.All right. All right. Come on.

It's a brand-new shirt, man.All right, y'all.

Please?Hey, what, you in love?

Nah, no, no, no. Not love.

All right, man. 'Cause we'll take your player card, man.

Take your player card quick, brother.

Attention, students.

Career Day is ending in 10 minutes.

Career Day is ending in 10 minutes.

I thought you'd come.

Yeah, I wanted to check it out

in case I didn't get accepted into college.

That's smart, Greg.

There are a lot of other alternatives right here in this room.

Thanks.All right.

Excuse me, brother. Look, Cinny, I didn't lie. It was my boys.

They got it all wrong. I would never start a rumor about you.

Okay, fine. So we had a misunderstanding.

So, when do you start UCLA?

Um, the first day.

Stop frontin'. I heard you and Mr. Shapic.

Annetta, stay out of this, please, all right?

Now, Cinny, it's not like it seems.So you did get into UCLA?

No, I didn't, but...And you didn't use these damn lies to get next to me,

to drop my defenses?

Cinny...Damn, Greg. Tell me that's not what you did.

I thought you were special.

Um...

Um...

Hey, baby.

What the hell is this?Oh, no. I forgot to put up the flyers.

Oscar Nicholson put out flyers, huh?

He's already sold out prom night. Already sold out prom night!

Guess I can't put 'em up now. They all dirty.

No, you can't put 'em up now, 'cause you're fired!

You know, I don't need this damn job anyway.

You're never gonna amount to nothin'! Get out of my place!

Wash your stank, greasy, old-ass barbecue stained from Malcolm X's last rib shirt!

Wash it!

I knew you were a spy for that Oscar Nicholson!

Talkin' about my shirt. You wish you had one!

Greg, honey,

these envelopes are from college.

Go on, Son. Open 'em.

UCLA said no.

Didn't get into USC either.

Pepperdine said no too.

Here. Let me open the last one.

What do these people know anyway?

Hey, look, don't worry, Son. There's still one more you haven't heard from.

I don't want you to leave anyway.

Forget about them, son. I never went to college, and look at me.

Hey, June bug. Come here, bro.

I got 'em. I got 'em. I got 'em.Slow down, chumps.

Right there. Right there.Yeah.

Yeah. Go on. Get close to 'em. Go on.Yeah.

Go.Scared, ain't you?

That's right. You should be scared, 'cause I'm the big boss around here.

I'm the boss of all bosses out this joint.

Dennis. Dennis.Don't interrupt me while I'm talking.

Oh, so you're making decisions now, huh, LaDennis?

Oh, Mama, can... can I call you back?Nah, boss.

It's just that you paid me to do a job,

so I'm just doing what the paycheck requires.

Boy, shut up!

How many times I got to tell your supremely ignorant butt not to think?

Yeah, you... you right... you right, boss.

You got that look in your eye again,

you know, like in '93 when you shot me in the spine,

and that's why my shit fucked up now.

But it's all... You pay a dude to do a job.

Don't get an attitude.Where's June?

June Nelson! Come on up!

Look at... Look at this.Oh, man, June!

Oh, damn, dog. What they do to you?

How can a brother do this to another brother, man?

Just be still. We got you.Don't move, June.

Oh, June. Get him, get him, get him, get him.Don't move. Don't move.

Oh, man, they got you way up in the air like this.

Don't worry. We here for you. Just stay still, man.

This is wrong. This is wrong.We gonna get you, man.

My mama taught me how to make that knot.

That's a good knot right there.You did a good job.

You did a good job.It was a good idea to hang him from there. That was all you.

I never knew a fat boy could tie a knot like that.

Grab him. Grab him. Got him. Got him. Got him.Be still.

Easy.You okay?

Ah!

Hmm.

Why you waste my time?Man, I'm sorry, all right?

Oh, you sorry? You obviously don't have a lot of "bidness acamin."

Is that a word?What did you say, Negro?

I didn't say nothin'. Nothin'.

I don't know what the fuck he said."Bidness acamin"?

June ain't like you, all right?G, shut up.

No, man. You messed your life up. Let him have his.

I like him!He pretty too.

That's a man that say what he got to say.

Praise his name.

Hey, get your...

Goddamn... Fine, Kenyatta, I'll work for you.

Just let my man go, please.

Boy, you better say it with some conviction!

I'll work for you.Huh?

Get your butt over there.

Hey, don't touch me, nigga.

Step out the way, fool!

I got you. You all right?

Look at 'em.

Huggin' like little punks.That's 'cause they dark, bald head and darker.

You know what, man?

Normally I kill little punk-asses like you for wasting my time.

But I'm feeling a little "generostisity" today.

So y'all don't want to work for me?

It don't matter. You know why?

'Cause I got y'all's asses anyway.

Yeah. 'Cause, see, sooner or later,

you gonna find out what kind of options you really have in your sorry-ass life.

So, when you need a car and you can't get a loan...

and when things get really bad, you gonna be right back here to buy my shit!

Or you'll be right back here begging to work for me.

Get out my face!

That's right. Try your luck, nigga.

Better not see you on the street!

Oh!

Eugene, you're killing him.Fuck him.

Man, why it gotta be like this? Over a woman, man?

Listen, man, she don't want you.

She was only with you for the popularity.

Now when you get an NFL contract,

there'll be a thousand gold diggers like her chasing you down the street.

So get the hell over it.

Yeah. You right.

You blew it, woman.

Yeah. Now let's go get some ice for your family jewels.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

NFL contract?Don't even think about it.

So, yeah, man, keep the ice on there.

That way, your nuts won't swell up.

If that happens, you have a little wee-wee and some big elephant nuts,

Look, baby, if you wanted to get freaky with June, all you had to do was ask.

You didn't have to take my hat.Ladies.

Sweetheart, I've got to talk to this teacher. I'll be back in a moment. Greg?

So, women problems, huh?

Damn, is it written on my forehead?

So, Greg, what'd you do to her?

I lied to her.

Everyone makes mistakes.

What really matters is what you do after the mistake.

You know?

You'll get it.

Hey, Annetta.

Wanna dance?No. I don't need any charity.

Look, I'm not offering charity.

But you're so busy doggin' brothers out, you can't see that.

That's why you ain't got no date.

Why, you funny-looking liar.

You have no game, no car, and you don't have a date either.

Well, maybe I'm the one that needs the charity.

All right, seniors.

Whoo! Yeah.

Well, I just want to welcome you guys to the class of 1999

Dubois High School senior prom.

Yeah. Whoo!

I just want to say to everybody that

tonight is a very special night.

This is the last time we may see each other.

This is the beginning...Yeah.

of something bigger.

Just really take the time and analyze it...

I thought you were special.

We have spent four years

with our best friends and loved ones...

1,080 days.

I've really done the math and the calculation.

We have spent 8,640 hours together.

Get Einstein off the stage!

This is a very sentimental moment.

Excuse me. Excuse me, bro. Excuse me. Excuse me.

Sorry, Chambers, but I got to do this, man.

Get off the stage!I've seen some of y'all

pointing at me and laughing...

because I came here by myself.

Yo, get your sorry ass off the stage!

Not till I say what I gotta say.

Now hold on, y'all. Wait a minute.

This ain't Montel.I lost my woman...

because I acted like a typical man.

This ain't talk radio! Let the boy speak!

That's why I came here without a date tonight.

'Cause I didn't want to be with nobody but her.

Man, why don't you shut the fuck up, man?

I'm sorry, y'all. I know I'm breaking up the whole prom and everything,

but just listen to me, all right?

The woman I lost... Is your mama!

...was real. Yeah, real smart for leaving your ass!

I treated her like a dream,

like she didn't deserve honesty and the truth. I feel you, bro.

And now I know better.

I really am better.

And I hope that you can see that in me.

Come on. Forgive him, girl, so he can put the music back on.

Can you believe this punk ass? That was right on, bro.

Excuse me.That was really nice.

Hey, Phillip, wait!Yo! I'm tired of your punk ass!

This ain't Miami Vice,Tubbs.

Ow! My goodness.

What's wrong with you? Can't you see the man's in love?

Thanks, man.

All righty then.

I just want to announce our high school's prom queen for 1999.

I'm sorry, Cinny. Party started!

Miss Cinny Hawkins.

Are you gonna yell that you're king of the world?

I would if I could.

Nice crown you got.It's a tiara.

Yeah. Tiara. I knew that. That's female. Tiara, yeah.Mm-hmm.

That was...

That was nice, what you said inside.

You better get back inside with your man.

He might need you to ride in the ambulance with him.

You got jokes.

I am with my man.
