Yeah, and he collected it in genuine

currency, not lOUs or food stamps.

Hold on, now.

Food stamps just like money.

-Try to buy school clothes with them.

-Watch yourself.

Look, son.

Your mama right.

You know, we proud of you.

Work on your little engine and

your little school stuff and all that...

...but listen to me, son. All that working

That drive a man crazy.

You hear about students in China,

...because they be under so much pressure.

You know why they jump?

They ain't got enough singing,

and ain't enough loving over there.

You ever heard a Chinese love song?

How many Chinese people over there?

Give me a figure. About 25--?

What, about 30 billion of them?

l forgot to put the car in the garage.

-Can't leave my Escalade--

-You're killing me.

Come on, sweetie.

Mom, go!

-l'll put it in for you.

-Okay.

Park it and leave it.

Don't even think about cruising around

with your friends, thinking you're cute.

-l mean it. You are not on my insurance.

-Mom, stop!

Look, you give yourself no credit.

-You ain't no fool-maker.

-She's right, and we're late.

-Love you.

-Love you too.

Don't worry, honey, he will call

on one of those phones.

-l'm balling.

-Girl, your mama's wheels are tight.

Take your time. Give everyone

a chance to envy.

-Paris is rolling!

-Yo, that's hot!

-lt's Dru.

-This is perfect.

Stay on the phone with him

while we drive up.

-Too bad we don't have a speaker.

-Do l mention the interview?

Hell, yeah, you mention

the damn interview, girl.

-Just be cool.

-And sweet.

No, sweet is weak, Zoe.

-He can't see you through the phone!

-Just answer it.

-Hello, Dru?

-Who's your boo, baby?

You're my boo, baby, but why

did you have to go and dis me?

Why you sweating me?

Come on. Who loves you?

Dru loves you. Never stop, never will stop.

Don't hate the player, baby. Hate the game.

Hey, this looks pretty cool. Hopefully,

Russell Simmons doesn't kick your ass.

-Wait until the whole car looks like that.

-Then all the girls will notice us? No.

At least with the Phat Farm, we'll get

some phat booties to rub on. Talk to you!
