Fruitvale Station Page #4

Synopsis: This is the true story of Oscar, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident who wakes up on the morning of December 31, 2008 and feels something in the air. Not sure what it is, he takes it as a sign to get a head start on his resolutions: being a better son to his mother, whose birthday falls on New Year's Eve, being a better partner to his girlfriend, who he hasn't been completely honest with as of late, and being a better father to T, their beautiful 4 year old daughter. He starts out well, but as the day goes on, he realizes that change is not going to come easy. He crosses paths with friends, family, and strangers, each exchange showing us that there is much more to Oscar than meets the eye. But it would be his final encounter of the day, with police officers at the Fruitvale BART station that would shake the Bay Area to its very core, and cause the entire nation to be witnesses to the story of Oscar Grant.

I got good news

and bad news, though, my nig.

Don't tell me you ain't got it.

Gave me a rack for it.

I wasn't gonna pay that high.

I still need it, though. What's good?

For the drive up?

Right on, Osc.

No, you're good, bruh.

Right on.

Burn one with your boy

right quick, though.

Nah, it's all you, bruh.

All right, bruh. Be smooth.

Yeah.

Can you take me to my grandma's house

real quick to get changed?

Yeah.

What kind of cake you get?

Carrot cake.

Why you ain't get ice cream?

'Cause it ain't your birthday.

You know, it'd be hella easier

if you had your stuff at my spot, right?

Why don't you just move in?

Maybe when you stop blowing trees

in the car before we pick up T.

Can you roll down the window, please?

Hey T! T! Come here.

- Daddy!

- Hey, what's up, nugget?

Hey, what's up, girl?

How you doin'?

- Good.

- Good?

We played freeze tag today.

Really? Did you win?

- They couldn't catch me.

- Think you fast, huh?

Think you're faster than Daddy?

Mm. Really?

What's that?

Hey!

Undefeated! Undefeated!

You still haven't beaten me yet.

You know that, right?

- Eh.

- Eh.

- What are you doing?

- What do you mean?

- You're going to break this car!

- It'll be all right.

- It's already falling apart.

- I can't lose. Undefeated.

Daddy's 100 and 0.

Big, big, big cheater.

You're a cheater.

I didn't cheat.

How do you know if I cheated or not?

You were sitting in the car.

T, Mommy's a hater.

- Grandma?

- Yes?

Can you watch T tonight?

We want to go to 'Frisco.

Ask your sister.

But Rose got hella kids to watch.
