Get the drums.

No! What are you doing?

Whoa! Easy there, Hello Kitty.

Does it look like I'm into all

that "Crouching Tiger"?

You're disgusting.

Yeah.

Well, you just get your ass out of here.

Tell your brother

I won't be so easy on you next time.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Who dat?!

- Hey, Nick, what's up?

- What's up, dude.

- What's this on your face?

- You got peach fuzz now? Shut up, man.

Oh look at you, Dukes of Hazzard,

where'd you get this?

Oh, you got jokes. I got it where I got it.

- Thought you finished puberty.

- You got jokes.

Why were you so late?

- I had some business to handle.

- Yeah, business?

Yeah. Glad you finally called, baby brother.

Well, you know, I been kind of busy.

How's it feel to be back in the free world?

Man, I'm not going through

all that ever again.

Had this parole officer

on my case once a week.

Couldn't step foot in a club, a bar.

And I couldn't do anything.

No, I'm not going back to that.

So you're a law-abiding citizen now?

Good for you.

I always knew you were tone deaf.

I didn't say that.

...playing with the monsters in the mind

Now hold it up... hold it up...

Long ways out there, don't you think?

Keeps its mystery that way.

One-way street out there. Yeah, you

mean it avoids regular cop patrols.

Knew you'd fit right in.

Welcome to Static.

Standing room only 5 nights a week.

Nice.

- Yo, Nick, did you get your brother?

- Yes, sir.

- D, Raphael.

- Hey, man.

- Don't even.

- I didn't say anything

This place used to be a factory.

They built ship motors, you believe that?

Immigration buckled down,

sent the illegals packing.

The company that hired them didn't want to

pay real wages so they went Chapter 11.

And you stepped in.

We are the D.I.Y generation, bro.

Come on, my place is around back.

- I've finished all the invoices.

- Great.

- And you must be Donny. I'm Tatianna.

- Oh hi.

Yeah, I've seen your body

painting dance online.

It's cool. I like it.

She keeps our I.T. straight.

And his ass out of trouble.

You're going to keep pushing

until something pops off.

"Pops off"?

I'm not the one who started it.

Well, then be the man and end it.

Come on, little brother,

I'll show you around.

And you grew up with this guy?

Yeah, since I was 6.

This is the room that Kaz used to stay in.

Right here is where we

first dreamt up Static.

So when will I meet him?

That ain't going to happen.

What? I thought you guys were partners?

Were. You wouldn't believe the stuff

that's gone down, man.

- So what happened?

- There was this guy, Michael Griffith.

He made millions on Wall Street swapping

bonds when everybody else was in the toilet.
