- Little Rodney at the shop.

Little Rodney told you

he sawfish in the floor.

Well, he actually didn't see

the fish in the floor,

but his cousin in Atlanta

sawfish.

You know that's ridiculous.

Little Rodney probably

heard it from somebody

who heard it from somebody else

who was at Nappy Cutz

when they dropped their

Filet-O-Fish on the floor.

That's ridiculous.

I can't believe you said that.

Sun salutation, ladies.

Feet together,

bringing it to prayer pose.

And reach!

Butterfly, butterfly.

Bringing it back to prayer pose.

Deep ujjayi breath.

Breathing in radiance,

beauty, light.

Breathing out

any heavy burdens.

The key to enlightenment

is to work through your anger,

not have your anger

work through you.

First position.

One, two, three.

He ain't sh*t!

He ain't sh*t!

Jimmy! What's the deal?

What's up?

Lookin' good, baby boy!

Always, always.

Still ain't sh*t.

Just a little while ago,

he was cuttin' hair.

- Good morning. Good morning.

- Alderman Brown's office.

- Good morning, Maggie.

- Good morning, sir.

- Any messages?

- Yes, sir. A whole stack.

- Good morning, Alderman.

- Good morning.

- Good morning, sir.

- Good morning, Jimmy.

- I'd like a moment if you have it.

- I don't. This faithful constituent

is in need of counsel,

and I have to provide it.

Reach one, teach one.

Remember that.

It's an issue of vital importance

and it'll only take a minute.

- You have 59 seconds.

- Thank you.

- Have a seat.

- Thank you, sir.

Not you.

I wanted to bring to your attention

a particular concern of mine.

Are you familiar with Calvin's Barbershop

on 79th and Exchange?

Yeah, I'm aware of it.

They're opening a Nappy Cutz

across the street.

Yeah, I know all about it.

Shouldn't we do something

about that?

Why should we?

Competition is

a cornerstone of democracy.

The future is not what it used to be.

Remember that.

But you did say you wanted

to keep that particular area fertile

for small-business interests.

Fertile.

I did say that, didn't I?

This boy is gonna be the governor

of the state of Illinois one day

if he learns to do what I say

when I say it.

Now, I'm not one for explanations,

explanatory things explained.

Write a report and have it

on my desk by the end of the month.

Sir, I think we should move

faster than that.

Think need, not speed.

It's better to measure

a thing ten times and cut once

than to measure once

and cut ten times.

Your minute is up, son.

This is gonna be great

for the neighborhood.

We'll see.

Here he comes.

- What's up, Samir?

- Not much.

- How are you doing?

- All right.

Very nice shirt on you.

We need to talk to you, Calvin.

What's going on?
