- Me too. Bye, Mommy.

- Doughboy, staying out of trouble?

- I ain't got no troubles.

- You got some troubles?

- Lawn trouble.

- Why don't y'all rake these leaves up?

- How much?

I'll give you $5

for the whole lawn.

Five dollars. Man, that ain't sh*t.

- I can make more doing nothing.

- Oh, yeah? Doing what?

He work for his uncle.

That's too bad. I guess I just

have to get my son to do it for me.

Do what?

Want you to rake up these leaves

off the lawn.

Boy, don't look at me funny if I

ask you to do something. Take this.

There's two trash bags right there

on the ground. See y'all later.

Damn, your daddy mean.

He's worse than the bogeyman himself.

Gotta do all these leaves.

Who he think you is, Kunta Kinte?

- Later, Tre.

- Later.

What you mean, a bogeyman?

There ain't no such thing.

- Yeah, there is.

- Lf there is...

...I'll bet you Hulk

could whip his ass.

Yeah, later.

Tre, I gotta lay down

the rules of the house.

Same thing as weekends,

you remember?

All right, what are they?

Clean the bathroom sink,

floor and tub.

I gotta clean that tub?

Yeah.

Clean my room and water the lawn.

Dad, can I ask you something?

What do you have to do around here?

I don't have to do nothing around here

except for pay the bills...

...put food on the table and put

clothes on your back, you understand?

Glad I don't have to pay no bills.

You may think I'm being hard

on you right now, but I'm not.

I'm trying to teach you

how to be responsible.

Your friends across the street,

they don't have anybody to show them.

You gonna see how they end up too.

I'm glad you're here, Tre.

You're a prince, you know that?

Yeah. You're the prince...

...I'm the king.

Right now, the king says it's time

for the prince to go to bed.

So get yourself together.

I'll see you in the morning, okay?

Oh, sh*t!

Somebody must've prayed for that fool.

- I swear I aimed right for his head.

- Should've blew it off.

Don't say that.

Don't say that.

It'd be contributing to killing

another brother.

Man, where are these fools?

We've been waiting out here

for almost an hour.

- We got a call of a burglary here.

- That was about an hour ago.

We didn't ask you that.

Yeah, well, I told you.

Besides, I don't like having

my son out in the cold.

Just tell me what happened, sir.

Somebody broke into the house.

I fired at him with my piece,

and he ran away.

- You didn't get him?

- Lf I did, he'd be laid out here.

- Is there anything missing?

- No.

Good, no need to make out a report.

- Got a 415 on Florence

between Vermont and Normandie.

Too bad you didn't get him.

Be one less n*gger out here

we have to worry about.

Hey, little man, how you doing?
