Welcome to Pine Hill Page #3

Oh, man, well...

It was crazy.

The whole bar was fighting,

throwing chairs, throwing bottles...

flying through the air,

you know.

It's, like, I busted up my hand

taking out this guy's teeth.

Huh?

Huh. It was a few guys.

They took me out?

No.

I know.

I got some bills to pay and

some people to pay back, so...

I'm gonna make

a little bit more money.

Man Rapping, Indistinct ]

It seems like one of those jobs that's

pretty easy to kind of just... pick up.

If you know the right people though.

Yeah.

Lily, can I get a soda water?

Yeah, sure.

Do you want anything in it? Bitters?

Just straight, fine, thanks.

How's it going, man?

Pretty good.

How was your night tonight?

Wasn't that bad.

Oh yeah? You didn't have

to bust any heads?

No, not tonight.

[ Chuckles ]

He busted a million heads.

Hey, man, so I want to know...

Um, you ever been shot at?

[ Lily Laughs ]

[ Abu Chuckles ] It seems like the

sort of thing that might happen...

to a bouncer if you're working

at a certain kind of bar.

Ah. I've been shot at

about four times.

I think I would've remembered

how many times I'd been shot at.

You see, I try to avoid situations

where people might be shooting at me.

But you, you enjoy... You walk right into them.

You get paid to do that.

That's your profession, right?

[ Scoffs ]

If I was a cop,

that would be my profession.

[ Man ] Yeah, I guess you're not a police officer.

What you do is a little different.

You're still here, right? That's what counts.

You've been shot at,

but you're still here

sitting at the bar.

That's true.

[ Man ] Lily, where did you go to college?

Did you go to school?

I sort of went to school, yeah.

[ Man Chuckles ]

Did you go to school, Shannon?

No.

It's all right, man. You don't need a

college degree to do what you're doing.

You know what I mean?

Hmm.

So where did you grow up, man?

You grow up around here?

I grew up in East Flatbush. What

was it like growing up out there?

A lot of kids in the neighborhood,

they just ran wild...

and... just being stupid.

[ Man ] I've heard about it in rap songs, I've...

I've seen news stories about it, I suppose.

So it's like that.

It's like 50 Cent says.

That's exactly how things go down.

[ Laughs ] Not though.

Personally, I don't

really know you that well,

but I don't... I don't know what the f***

you're talking about, to tell you the truth.

[ Laughs ] My personal opinion.

I mean, what are you

trying to say?

I just said it. You don't know what

the f*** you're talking about.

I'm sitting here, I'm trying to

have a f***ing conversation...

with the bartender here.

It's been a long f***ing night.

[ Mutters ] It's time to
