OK, you kids, get outta here. Get lost. Go

home. These guys are creeps. Go home!

Go on!

Bring him out here, McGavin.

Homes, what d'you think I'm gonna

find when I look under that car, huh?

Huh?

You don't run from

the fastest white boy on two feet.

Oh, man, you smell good, homes.

What is that? Eau de doo-dah-day?

I saw him toss it.

What the hell were you runnin' for?

Answer me, a**hole.

Answer me.

What's your name?

- Clarence Brown.

- Don't lie to me.

- How old are you?

- 18.

How old are you?

What else do they call you?

What's your name on the street?

Give me another name.

- High Top.

- Why do they call you that?

You a second-storey man, High Top?

You go down on basketball players?

What do you hang out with this loser for?

Wanna be like him? You do, don't you?

No.

Well, I got you on my file now.

If I catch you here again, I'm gonna shove

this up your ass. How would that feel?

uncuff him.

You heard me.

- I'm Hodges. Ask around who I am.

- Yeah.

- You owe me one, OK?

- Yeah.

- Got that?

- Yes, sir.

Say it.

- I owe you one.

- OK.

Get outta here.

This alley is hot.

It's no longer yours, it's mine.

If I catch you here again,

I'm gonna arrest you.

Be straight with me,

I'll be straight with you.

Now, all of you, get lost.

Let's go. Come on. Out!

- Come on, man. Let's go.

- Go on.

- We'll get him round the corner.

- Right on.

I'm down for that.

I'll drive.

- What the f*** was that?

- What?

I made a righteous collar

back there, partner.

If I do something, I expect you to back

me up and I hope you expect the same.

Oh. You don't even know the area, yet you

wanna drag him in for a pissy little rock...

...and spend the rest of the shift

doin' paperwork? Is that a plan?

- You wanna hear a plan? I got a plan.
