All of Chaz's best friends.

It makes us feel better.

It's kind of like...

like peer counseling.

Pretty cool, huh?

Hey, guys, this is Nick,

Chaz's brother.

Nick, this is Ajit, Cameron,

and you know Randy.

What do you think you're doing?

Love your neighbor.

Yeah, but, see,

that's the problem.

We're not here to babysit.

Nothing personal.

It doesn't matter

what you think,

'cause it's Randy's house.

Come on, dude,

it's not some random kid.

It's your best friend's

little brother.

Look, either you get it

or you don't.

Nick, this isn't the place for you.

He's not a baby.

Nick, are you okay with this scene?

You said it...

it's Randy's house.

Who cares whose house it is?

That's not the point.

I mean, the kid's got lots of...

He's a ninth-grader.

Well, if it's not a matter

of whose house it is,

let's put it to a vote.

Abstain.

Those in favor of Nick staying?

Nick, raise your hand.

No, he can't vote, man.

He's not one of us.

Are you crazy?

Were you good friends

with your brother?

Any friend of Chaz's

is a friend of mine.

I'll call.

What are we supposed to do?

Just play, and you two watch?

Why don't you show Nick what

Friday really meant to Chaz?

Boys, the party has arrived!

Rule number one, kid...

never interrupt a hand.

Yeah, and rule number two...

ignore this man.

I call.

Read 'em and weep.

Not so fast.

Sh*t!

Mmm, you are so articulate.

Kid, you sure you want

to hang out with these losers?

Hey, speak for yourself.

You sure you know

to how to play?

I'll take this.

Here's your tip, bro.

Going all in, huh?

I call.

I'm out.

Come to papa.

Damn!

You're broke, man.

Ready to go home?

Wait, wait, wait.

We can't do this.

I mean, what were we thinking, guys?

Just...

Here, just take it all back.

Hey, hey, hey, look...

Charity ultimately

disempowers the recipient...

this guy.

Okay, fine.

First lesson's on us, okay?

No.

Thanks, but...

I'll be back next Friday...

And win it back.

I need some money.

For what?

Is this for the scholarship

in Chaz's name?

You don't need to get

involved with that.

Have you discussed

with Dr. King?

You seem better.

I think the peer counseling

on Friday nights is working.

Is Randy there?

He was a bad influence

on Chaz.

You should have friends

your own age.

Let's invite kids from church

for your birthday.

What's going on?

Hey.

Come get a piece.

Do you want a piece?

No, thank you.

You guys? Cake?

No, thanks.

I'll set it right here.

Help yourself.

Oh, good, Luke.

You picked the game?

That's good.

Nick!

Nick, what are you doing?

B.B.

Whew.

Come on.

Okay.

I'll leave you alone.

You come out, okay?

Yeah, I won't bother you.
