That is funny, though,

because... Don't say that.

Don't say it.

Give me it!

Give it to him

and leave him alone.

What is he crying for? 'Cause he

went in there with the little stick.

Give it to him.

And y'all be nice.

I ain't got it.

E'niyah, give it back.

Give it to him. And be nice.

Don't start, 'cause I'll shut

down the whole park operation,

and everybody can

stay home and have naps.

No, I... I put

to Elijah, because...

It's supposed to be

duck, duck, duck, goose!

Well, we gotta figure something

out, 'cause I'm pregnant.

What?

I mean, we havin' a baby.

Another one. Yeah.

That means bigger place,

more room.

We're a team. We'll do it.

A kiss?

This what I'm gonna have to deal with

in seven months? We can't reach?

It's gonna be worse.

I love you.

What's good?

'Sup, man? Chilling.

Talk to me. What's up?

I'm ready to make some money.

Okay.

This ain't no easy game, though.

You know that, right?

Yeah, I know.

How much do you know?

I'm not, like, an expert on

everything, but I can learn.

But if someone wants to run a

kilo, how much would they make?

Off a kilo alone,

running that...

He'll see more than

three, five stacks.

After you drop off,

package is complete...

Two minutes, you make one call.

"Cookies are finished."

Everything is in code.

You never say,

"The package is delivered."

'Cause then you just

signed yourself over.

And if you in this, you in this.

Ain't no room for error.

There's no room for slipup.

First little small mistake...

will get you a large sentence.

Once that's done... You make

everything seem so freaking...

Everything sounds like

a death threat, bro.

Well, what path you think we on?

I'm trying to... I'm trying to

earn some extra cash, man.

Bro, if you want to earn extra

cash, get a job at Mickey D's.

Come on, man. You know what kind

of extra cash I'm talking about.

All right. Well, this is

what I'm talking about.

We talking about the same thing.

You said you want to man up. Ain't

no room for boys over here.

I'm listening. All right.

So then listen.

And like I said...

You go for your pickup.

You got cash on you.

After you grip your package,

one route.

There's no stops,

there's no in-betweens.

Ain't no go see your girl

or go see your mans.

One route to the drop-off.

A'ight.

Nah. It ain't "a'ight."

It's one route.

I'm not saying I'm, like...

Come with me.

That's my son Sincere.

Come. Come. Quick.

Come here. Putt-Putt.

Come here.

They're not...

They're not sharing.

They're not sharing? Yes.

Okay. What is that, a boo-boo?

Let me see.

Okay, listen. I

need you to do me a favor.

Look at me. Look at me.

I need you to do me a favor.

Keith Miller

Keith Ross Miller, (28 November 1919 – 11 October 2004) was an Australian test cricketer and a Royal Australian Air Force pilot during World War II. Miller is widely regarded as Australia's greatest ever all-rounder. Because of his ability, irreverent manner and good looks he was a crowd favourite. English journalist Ian Wooldridge called Miller "the golden boy" of cricket, leading to his being nicknamed "Nugget". He "was more than a cricketer ... he embodied the idea that there was more to life than cricket".A member of the record-breaking Invincibles, at the time of his retirement from Test cricket in 1956, Miller had the best statistics of any all-rounder in cricket history. He often batted high in the order, sometimes as high as number three. He was a powerful striker of the ball, and one straight six that he hit at the Sydney Cricket Ground was still rising when it hit the upper deck of the grandstand. Miller was famous for varying his bowling to bemuse batsmen: he made sparing use of slower deliveries and would often adjust his run-up, surprisingly bowling his fastest deliveries from a short run. He was also a fine fielder and an especially acrobatic catcher in the slips.Away from cricket, Miller was also a successful Australian rules footballer. He played for St Kilda and was selected to represent the Victorian state team. He played 50 games for St Kilda, for whom he kicked eight goals in one game against North Melbourne, during 1941.Miller's personality – love of the contest, rather than victory, and his larger-than-life rebelliousness and carousing – helped both shape and limit his cricketing career, as he espoused the opposite of the more puritanical values of Donald Bradman, his captain and later national selector. Neville Cardus referred to Miller as "the Australian in excelsis"; Daily Mail sportswriter Ian Wooldridge's response was "By God he was right". This status was reflected when Miller was made one of the ten inaugural members of the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame. more…
