Fruitvale Station Page #3

Come on, bruh...

Come on.

Somebody help!

Grant, come on.

All right, let me see

your hands... ears...

...your hair... inside your mouth.

All right, turn around.

Bend over, squat.

All right, you're good.

- Hey baby.

- Hey Mama.

Happy birthday.

What happened to your face?

You look nice today.

My girls came to see you last night?

- We played board games.

- I bet y'all let her win, too.

- Of course.

- Y'all hella weak for that.

She'll get no easy wins around me.

- Mm.

- What?

Remember that microwave popcorn

you bought a while back?

- Hella good.

- Yeah.

While I was putting it in the bowl,

Tatiana just standing there,

staring up at me,

looking like she wanted

something.

OK, then what? Come on, Ma.

She says, "Grandma,

do we have any dark butter?"

Dark... What's dark butter?

I'm thinking maybe she watched

Food Network or something.

I said, "Sweetheart,

what's dark butter?"

And she said, "Well, when my daddy

took me to see Wall-E,

he asked for light butter.

So now I want to try some

dark butter this time."

- She too smart...

- This Moms right here?

- She a snitch, too?

- What the f*** you say about my moms?

- F*** you and this b*tch.

- Talking tough with these guards.

I'm gonna see your b*tch-ass

on the outside.

- B*tch-ass Palma Ceia n*gger.

- B*tch-ass motherf***er.

- Oscar...

- F*** DGF!

- Is there a problem in here?

- Oh, f*** you!

- Is there a problem here?

- No, we good.

Yeah, we good for now.

Yeah.

Yeah, f***ed up...

Calm down.

Oscar.

What happened to your face?

Dark butter...

She always listenin'.

Too damn smart for her own good.

Pre-school said, we should think about

starting her in school early...

Phina tell you that?

Yeah, we'll put her in private school.

Uniforms.

I was looking at Saint B the other day,

and they got this new thing where

they start 'em off speaking Spanish,

- then they put them back on English...

- I'm not coming here anymore.

What?

I'm not coming here

for these visits anymore.

- This is my last time.

- I know, I know...

I know, this is

the last time for me, too.

I told you that.

I ain't going down no more.

You wanna keep putting Sophina through

this, then you go right ahead, OK?

But Tatiana? That baby

doesn't deserve this, Oscar.

She's too young to know what's going on.

So I guess that's why

she asked me why you love

taking your vacations more

than you like being with her.

- She ain't say that.

- Oh, so I'm a liar now.

Ma, you got to tell her I love her.

- Tell her I...

- Tell her yourself.

The next time you call home,

you tell her yourself.

Or better yet,

let her come visit you here.

Yeah, but I...

She don't need to be exposed...
