Otherwise, she can't get to sleep.

Kinda stupid, but it don't bother me. | Makes me sleepy too.

What kind of songs you sing to her?

Uh... She likes the theme | to "Blazing Saddles. "

- How's your pee? | - How's my what?

Your pee. Your urine. Is it clear?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Good. Means you're healthy.

Cool.

- Why are you tryin' to get pregnant so bad? | - Who's gonna have a baby?

I don't know. I guess | I just wanna be a baby's mama.

- What about Darrian? | - Oh, child, please.

He is too ugly to be the father of my child.

Let me tell you, guys ain't nothin'.

They break up with you, then they beg you | to get back, and then they break...

...up again.

You should've just | left them alone the first time.

I know. It's like if you don't wanna go | with a guy, and you break up with them...

...then they beg you to go back so that | they could break up with you.

Then they can go tellin' their friends, | "Oh, yeah, I broke up with this girl. "

I don't understand why they go through | all that. They get on my nerves...

...anyway.

I mean, I swear, | my ex boyfriend makes me sick.

He always wanted to argue. | He'd act childish. He's older than me.

Y'all know y'all are not gonna | find nobody in this town...

...that's, that's even close | to bein' perfect.

Y'all gotta get out, go travelin'.

You see Nasia and George | at the park today talking?

Yo, man, what's up with that, yo?

She better not be tryin' | to hurt my feelings...

...and she better not be | hookin' up with him.

Man, this is something that girls do, man.

They try to dump you and then | go with your best friend, yo.

It's just Denise and all them | puttin' words in their head.

She wouldn't be tryin' to talk to me, yo, | 'cause I wouldn't talk back to her.

That's why she's talkin' to George.

I don't care about the other girls. | I care about Nasia.

I think about her all the time.

What's that?

Oh, I dug this up in the ground yesterday.

Why you do that to it, man?

I don't know. I was bored.

Destructive kind, yo. Cheer up, man.

Hey, George. You know, | your Uncle D walked out on us today.

That man's crazy.

I swear, Rico's father thought | he was gonna have a conniption fit.

I thought he was gonna bust. | What do you call it? A crazy move?

Nothing shocks my dad, man. | That's why he's the boss...

...and that's why he just bought | a K-Car turbo, as in King Car Turbo.

That's right.

- That's a good-lookin' dog. | - He is a nice dog. Where'd you get him at?

I don't know. I just found it.

Yeah, I seen a dog like that on television. | Man, that's rare as crap.

Smells like crap.

Have you had that thing | checked out for a hysterectomy?

I think it's got halitosis or something.
