- See you later.

- Pa.

Bye.

William?

He's too lazy...

and fat.

Ah, tell Mike, man.

He ain't doing nothing.

Doing nothing?

Yeah, but he don't have to work

on Saturday morning.

All right, all right,

all right!

Ow.

What up, playa?

Oh, man,

what time is it?

Time for you

to get your ass up, homey.

Man, aren't you supposed

to be in school?

Yeah, it's recess.

Hey, you need

to get down here.

No can, man, I told the dads

I was going to work.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

I'll tell him later, man.

No biggie.

All right,

but don't complain

when everybody tells you

they seen the new ride.

Hold up.

You got a new ride?

I'll see you in a minute.

Sweet.

Thud!

Ow.

Oh,.

Man, I was going

to tell you later, man.

I mean, you and Mom

have been bugging me

to lose that lame-ass job

anyway, right?

Hey, so check it out, man.

I got an email

from my friend Ian

about how his friend opened up

an online clothing store, man.

He works from home, man.

He makes like a few thousand

dollars, man, every month, man.

I said, "Hey, let me key in

on some of that. "

And then,

you know Henry, right?

Hey, he self-published

this comic book last month.

I'm going to talk to him

about that too.

I mean, he got, like, his own

website and everything, man.

Yo, you feeling me

on this?

Mr. Waaang?

It's Wang, dog.

I'm sorry, "Wong. "

Wang, not Wong.

Wang.

- "Wong. "

- Wang.

- "Wong. "

- Wang.

- "Wong. "

- Is she all right?

Good news.

Yourwrists

are just sprained.

You'll need

to take it easy for a while.

You can start physical therapy

in a couple weeks.

Just goes to show you

you can never be

too careful driving.

Wait, wait, hold up, dog.

What's that supposed to mean?

Excuse me?

You just assume that just

because my moms is Chinese

that she's a bad driver?

Like she couldn't break her hand

gardening or baking pies,

some Martha Stewart.

Hey, that's straight-up

racialism, dog.

You better have

malpractice insurance.

I just read her chart.

It said

"car accident" on it.

Yeah, so?

This is for the pain.

The nurse

will sign you out.

Ow.

I'm okay.

They gave you

ibuprofen, huh?

We should make sure

you get the good stuff, okay?

We'll get you Vicodin, Ma.

Oh, wait a minute now.

People always think that,

you know, Chinese people,

all they're good at are math,

martial arts,

and mu shu pork, you know?

But basketball, hey, that was

really my thing back in the day,

you know what I'm saying?

I used to play

on the JV squad.

Booyah.

They called me

The Orient Express.

They call me The Orient Express

for more than one reason.

You know what I'm saying?

Feel me, man?

Feel that?

Actually, I don't.
