against my own will.

Uh, hold up.

This is with the sale

Yeah.

This don't add up.

It does add up.

There's taxes on these things.

That's false advertising.

Listen...

Taxes don't go to me, okay?

The taxes go

to the government.

We all gotta pay that stuff.

You people always

tryin' to rip us off.

"You people"?

B*tch, you act like you ever

heard of f***in' taxes before?

- Oh, hell no!

- No, no, f*** it!

- You ain't gettin' my business.

- Bounce. F*** you.

- Damn chink!

- Hold on, ma'am.

No, let her go, f*** it.

The f*** do you mean,

let her go?

She wasn't gonna

buy sh*t anyway, f*** it.

Does that matter?

Yo, you ever heard of

"the customer's always right"?

Dawg, she's acting like she's

never heard of taxes before.

What am I supposed

to do with that?

Who the f*** cares, man?

Yo, next time,

just keep your mouth shut

and finish the f***ing sale.

I'm not doing anything different

than Appa would've done, man.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

Dad pissed of half the

customers who came in here.

Where is he?

Where is he?

Kamilla.

- Huh?

- You hungry?

Yeah.

Help her.

I thought police was supposed

to protect us, you know?

Um, you know, I feel even

if he did something wrong,

you know, he didn't...

What do you wanna eat?

I don't know.

Maybe a...

chicken salad sandwich?

Chicken salad?

Or chicken nug...

Oh, sh*t.

Who'd do this?

F***.

What up?

Ha! you quit that job yet, man?

Nah, nigga, I'm 'bout
