for talkin' like that.

When did they put that up?

Guess it ain't no titty bar.

Hold up.

I can't believe this.

- Quentin!

- Hey, Calvin.

You like our sign?

Not too flashy, I hope.

I don't want it to fight

the funk of the neighborhood.

I thought this was a club.

What is Nappy Cutz?

You never heard of us?

It's a franchise, the black man's

answer to Supercuts.

Got ten locations nationwide.

This'll be the first one

in Chicago.

Ten chairs with every amenity

the African-American male desires.

- On my block?

- It's just an alternative.

You the man.

Your shop is legendary.

Only business on the block

to survive the riots of '68.

We can't compete with you.

I gotta go.

Listen, when 24/7 opens,

I'd love to buy you a latte.

I can buy

my own damn latte.

I know what this is.

You're tryin' to compete with us.

It's not a competition.

It's a rout.

Your business will be closed

in six months, seven at the most.

When the bank forecloses,

I'm gonna buy your shop

and turn it

into a more viable cash cow,

like a Bally's

or a Jamba Juice.

We could bypass all the stress

if you would sell it to me now.

But of course you wouldn't

do that... too much pride.

And I respect that.

I respect that, too.

You be safe out there.

I was gonna say

the same thing to you.

What did slick-head negro want?

These guys fittin'

to open a shop on our block?

They're gonna take

all our customers.

Quality Land Development

buyin' up everything.

We just gotta

step up our game.

Hey, Rick, you handled

that deposit for me?

You gonna have to cool it

on these extra activities.

I don't care about your vampire hours

as long as you do what I ask.

It's not what you think.

- I had some...

- Some bullshit to do.

You should've asked me,

someone more dependable.

Both of you can kiss my ass.

Hold up, don't fall apart.

Don't fall apart.

Not right now, okay?

We got competition on the block.

And I guess change,

that's a good thing, right?

Well, it's free enterprise.

This is America.

Shut up, Dinka.

- Survival of the fittest.

- Says the privileged white boy.

The privileged white boy

do a better job on that fade.

You're starting to cross the line.

Relax yourself.

Quit it. Quit it.

Don't sweat it, Cal.

We got your back no matter what.

Come on, everybody, let's go back.

This ain't nothin'.

I've seen this many times.

They come and they go.

We gonna be all right.

We gonna be fine.

- Man, why you trippin' back there?

- Why you frontin', man?

I know you're

supposed to be the superstar,

but don't you ever

roll up on my customers.

- What was you thinkin'?

- You're right, man.

Okay, it's my bad.

It's my bad.

His fade was
