about them test scores.

Don't worry, l'm your brother, dog.

Whatever me and you discuss,

it stays between me and you.

-Right.

-Love you, dog. All right?

Make sure you keep one thing in mind:

Moms knows when the game ends,

so take your ass straight home.

-Okay.

-Don't get into no trouble.

Be careful. Stay safe, all right?

-Love, dog.

-All right, T. Good looking.

All right, Jamal. Be careful.

Stink in here.

J, you see that window?

He keeps that one cracked sometime.

Yo, light's been out

for two hours, dog.

You sure he asleep?

That Methuselah's like a thousand

years old. That's all they ever do.

Yo, J, man. For the reals, son,

l don't know about this.

-l know.

-l think l'm-- Oh, sh*t!

l think l'm gonna pull the call, yo.

-No, yo, l got this one.

-Rats.

All right. Yo, Fly.

Keep it.

You gotta bring something out.

Yo, man, you hear us,

drop down, all right?

All right.

Don't stay in there too long.

Got you.

Damn, this thing's rickety.

Lucy Chapman around?

Last stool on the other end.

Lucy Chapman?

-Yeah.

-l'm Bannion, Homicide.

With this band playing, you need

megaphones to talk at the bar.

-We can sit in a booth.

-All right.

-Yo, look, look!

-Oh, sh*t!

-Yo, yo, got something?

-Oh, sh*t!

-Yo, what happened?

-You son of a b*tch!

D*ckheads, he wasn't asleep.

-Yo, did you see him?

-No, not for long, yo.

Jamal, would you stop bouncing

that damn ball in the house?

l got Michael Jordan's name

written in dirt all over my floor.

Don't worry, l'll clean it.

l got a better chance

of Michael Jordan cleaning it.

lf you're thinking of a shower,

the hot water's taking a few minutes.

-l wasn't thinking about it.

-Hey! Hey, where's your pack?

-l don't know.

-Don't know?

What do you mean, you don't know?

We wanted you to bring something,

not leave something.

Leave this one alone, man.

What was in your bag anyway?

l'm not talking about the damn bag.

Bet you ain't, man.

Let me teach you something.

Now watch the eyes.

He's probably watching you right now.

Stop. Stop. See?

You don't know about that, man.

Here's how you do it.

l'm not gonna do anything

to your car, man.

l'm sorry?

You look worried,

like l'll do something.

No, l worry about this car

everywhere, not just here.

-Don't take it personally.

-lt's just a car.

No, it's not just a car. lt's a BMW.

Those who know anything

about that company...

...know that it's more

than just a car.

Oh, those who know. So l wouldn't

know anything like that, right?

No, that's not what l meant.

Last thing l knew about BMW...

...is, they made plane engines

when they first started.

A guy by the name of Franz Popp

started it all.

Franz Popp. l like that name.
