- Morning.

- There you go.

Eat it all up.

Ooh.

Oh, come on, baby.

It's all right.

Oh, calm your nerves, baby.

It ain't nothing

How are you?

- Morning, Commander.

- How you doing?

- Ready to rock.

- Yeah.

Your men here?

ready to go.

- Good, I got 28 names

on this list.

- Pick it up, pick it up.

We got to get

to grandma's house.

How you doing now?

Want some coffee?

We get a hair show

this weekend.

Texas championship,

grand prize:
$5,000.

- You going

with Lavosha again?

- Mm-hmm.

We've been

practicing for months.

I'm hoping to win enough

to start up at junior college.

- Oh, good luck

to you, honey.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll be right back.

- Mobile units

on the way.

- Roger that.

- Grandma,

can I go see Andres?

- Mm-hmm.

Sherice,

Hold it with both hands.

My grandma gave me that

from Alabama.

[People struggling]

- Hold up!

- Stay right here.

[Helicopter blades whirring]

Dee Roberts?

- Excuse me.

What did I do?

Will you tell me

- Dee?

- I think-I think
