Let's go. It's all right.

It's all right. Just let go. Let go.

Let go. It's all right.

Let go. Come on. Come on.

I've always believed that a portrait

captures a person

far better than a photograph.

It truly takes a human being

to really see a human being.

Wait a minute.

Come here.

What the hell is this, Tyrell?

What'd I tell you about eating this sh*t?

Didn't I tell you don't be eating that sh*t?

Look at this! Look at all this fat!

This fat, fat ass!

Look at all this nasty fat! Where they at?

Look at all this candy.

You ain't gonna eat all this candy!

You crazy?

Look at this room. It's a mess.

Why is it a mess, Tyrell?

'Cause a fat little piggy lives in this room!

Get your fat ass on this scale.

Get on the scale!

What does it say? What's it say?

- 189.

- 189.

You ain't lost no weight!

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Let's go wait for your daddy to call.

It is ordered and adjudged

that the judgment pronounced and set forth

in this order sentencing

the defendant to death

in the manner and by the authorities

as provided by statute

shall be executed at this time.

Lawrence Musgrove, do you have anything

you'd like to say?

Push the button.

Hey. You know what you did?

Do you know what you did?

Are you listening to me?

Do you know what you did?

Do you know what you did?

You f***ed him up!

You f***ed up that man's last walk!

How would you like it

if somebody f***ed up your last walk?

You're like a goddamn woman.

You're like your f***ing mother!

You shouldn't have done that,

you son of a b*tch!

Get up, you f***ing p*ssy! Come here!

You are a piece of f***ing sh*t!

Do you understand me?

Hey, hey! Hold on, hold on.

Get off me!

Get your f***ing hands off me,

you f***ing n*gger!

Hank! Hank!

- Hank, this ain't you.

- This is me, Phil. This is me!

And I'm the man

who could have your goddamn job!

Don't you ever let me catch you

touching anybody that outranks you again!

- Do you understand me?

- Yes, sir!

- Hank...

- Yes, sir.

- I don't wanna hear it out of you.

- I just keep the peace.

- You piece of sh*t! Piece of sh*t!

- Hey.

You got... bleeding.

Sonny.

All right. Let's move. Get up.

You get out of

my goddamn house right now.

Hey! You get out!

Come on!

You lousy piece of sh*t.

Get up.

What you gonna do? Huh?

What you gonna do?

See? How do you like that, huh?

Huh? Come on! Are you a tough guy now?

Are you tough?

Say something.

Say something!

Get up.

You hate me?

Answer me.

You hate me, don't you?

Yeah, I hate you.

I always did.

Well, I always loved you.

Give me them scissors.

Here.

Hold up, wait a minute.

- Where you going?

- I wanna put these up.

- How much?

- That'll be $2.85.
