You should give it cold lima beans | with a little bit of salt.

Anyways, are you gonna keep that puppy?

- No. My uncle won't let me keep a dog. | - "Oh, that's right. "

Old Damascus would probably cut | its head off or somethin'. He's a crazy...

...man.

I remember this one time we were over | at Barry's house. He was havin' a...

...cookout.

And Barry's cat started freakin' out, right?

Like he was high, | like he was physically insane, right?

And that cat starts pushin' over | people's drinks, you know...

...usin' the restroom everywhere, | and Damascus shows up, right?

And he pulls a whip out of his, | out of his shorts.

That cat runs to the left, | and he pops it to the left...

...then he runs to the right | and pops it to the right.

And then he pops that cat like right | on the bridge of its nose...

...and that cat rolled over | and started shakin', right?

And it was so gross, it was like a...

...like a dead, old, gross, dead... | Squirrel.

Ohh. Excuse me for a second, | would you, please?

I've just had my fruit cup. You're gonna | make me vomit, talkin' about dead...

...squirrels.

No, this... This is little Bobby.

No, that's little Bobby's cousin.

- Oh, it's just Richard. | - That ain't no Richard.

- It's Richard. | - Richard might be his middle name.

- It is too Richard. Look, it's on the back. | - You don't know him.

- Girl, no. | - It's written on the back of the picture.

Why do you let them come over here?

Because you know without me | you won't know about things.

Oh, and here comes Vernon. Look at Vernon.

- Please. | - That boy live here?

- Come in. | - Hey, Vernon, baby, how're you doin'?

- Lookin' good today. | - What's up, y'all?

All y'all lookin' good too.

I know I look good.

Hey, can I speak to Nasia?

- No, you don't. | - Uh-uh.

Nasia. Anything you got to say to her, | you can say it to all of us.

- Thank you. | - Shut up. I don't like you anyway.

- No way. | - Uh-uh. You don't come in here with that.

You don't come up in my house, | dissin' my friends. What is your function?

- I'm just playin', Nasia. | - What's up with your brother? Why he ain't call...

...me?

- Huh? | - Your brother. What's up with him?

- Oh. | - Girl, Denise told me he ain't had no muscles.

What do you want?

I want to know what's up with you and Buddy?

What do you mean? I mean...

You ain't been callin' him or nothin', man. | He told me.

- He said y'all don't even talk no more. | - Yeah, 'cause we broke up.

- Broke up? For what? | - Because he acts too much like a little kid.

I'm looking for a more mature person.

Man, he 13, you 12. Y'all both little kids.

What else y'all supposed to act like?
