What, she gonna let you keep

the big screen, though?

Please tell me

she not gonna take your big screen.

- Oh, damn.

- That...

Can we talk about something else?

- You know, I will leave that alone.

- Thank you.

You over here worried

about your weight, he's losing a TV.

- All right, all right. Come on. Let's go.

- Come on, y'all.

Damn.

Keep away from him, keep away.

Putting it up.

- Oh, no.

- Shake it off, babe.

Don't bring that here.

Don't bring that here.

What was that?

- Get off me.

- What was that, man?

Chill, yo.

Darnell, what's wrong with...?

Bringing in here street ball.

You brought it in here.

- That's what's wrong.

- Check yourself.

You ain't in the prison yard no more.

- What?

- You heard me.

You don't know

what you're talking about.

You don't know

what you're talking about.

- Ball up top, ball up top.

- Yeah, ball up top.

- I got my integrity, boy.

- Don't drop the soap.

You ain't nothing like you used to be.

I see how you are.

- Whatever. You... I'm from the 'hood.

- You not from the 'hood.

- You ain't from the 'hood?

- I know where I'm from.

- You're acting like you're not.

- Whatever.

- You Starbucks soldier.

- Don't drop the soap.

Starbucks security.

Get out of here with this bull...

Hey, watch out, Dave.

Oh, that's it, huh?

Game's over, huh?

What are you...?

Aren't you with him?

Why are you still here?

You're not on our side.

Big, just bully for no reason.

He's starting to shoot.

He's shooting.

Look at that view.

Big garage there,

It's beautiful, solar-lit.

Now, isn't this beautiful?

Look at this open space.

And what I love about this house

for you, Judge Reid...

...are the floor-to-ceiling built-ins

in the study for all of your law books.

And for you, Mrs. Reid,

the east-facing front door.

So feng shui.

Feng what?

It's Chinese, baby.

It means harmony.

I assume the sellers

are looking for full price.

Well, we can ask, but I doubt

they will be willing to come down.

But there aren't many homes

in this neighborhood...

...with a garage big enough

for your vintage-car collection.

How did you know

about my Corvettes?

Oh, I make it my business to know

the unique needs of all of my clients.

I think I'd like to see

how my chi flows...

...through the master bedroom.

- Sure. I'll leave this with the judge.

Wait until you see

the bedroom balcony.

The view is spectacular.

Funk shwa.

Don't know why Darnell

needs to hate like that.

Come on, man. I kind of thought

we'd been over this, D.

Yeah, it was 15 years ago.

He needs to get over it.

- Got three more.

- You gotta look at it like this.

- He feel he got dealt a bad hand.

- Nobody forced him to sling that crack.
