I'm just saying it's

irresponsible, that's all.

What are you

talking about, Wilson?

Forget it.

I don't even want to

get into it. It's just...

Shutting down is

not gonna help.

I'm not shutting down.

I'm not gonna

let you get me into this

back-and-forth stuff.

What back-and-forth stuff?

What?

What back-and-forth stuff?

How we going

back and forth?

This.

I need a break.

Look.

The last relationship

my mom had,

Randy was produced,

and the man disappeared.

And?

And I love my brother

more than anything

on this planet.

And she is getting older.

She should slow down a bit.

She don't need to do

this in front of Randy.

Do what?

You know what

I'm talking about.

You want her to be alone?

She's not gonna be alone,

because she has me and Randy.

You're being silly.

You know what?

I don't give a sh*t anyway.

I'm 21 years old.

I want to have my own place.

I want to move out.

I don't want to be

in the house no more.

Really?

Why you smiling?

I don't know.

You're not ready

to live with me.

Your father would kill us.

And what is with

your father, anyway?

What are you talking about?

Well, it's the way

he looks at me.

It's like he's ready to

kill somebody, like...

He's got these eyebrows.

They're like werewolves.

Don't use my father

as an excuse.

Anyway...

I'm a good woman.

Yeah.

Yeah.

This is true.

You don't know

what you're missing.

Anyway, my daddy's

like a teddy bear.

Oh, yeah?

ANA:
You trying to get

me on the hood again?

MAN:
Ana!

How you doing, sir?

Hi, Daddy.

Enjoy the orange.

Wilson.

Werewolf.

Stop.

I'm telling you.

Goes for the shot.

Ice cream?

Yep.

Randy, I thought I told you

to leave the ball in the car.

They'll steal it.

Nobody's going

to steal anything.

Stop bouncing this ball.

Okay.

Okay.

All right. Come on.

Don't bounce it.

Don't bounce...

Don't bounce it!

He bounces it high!

You wanna keep

bouncing the ball, huh?

RANDY:
Keep bouncing it,

keep bouncing it.

He goes for the shot!

But he misses it!

He shoots it!

He gets the rebound!

Another shot!

Randy. Come here, sweetie.

Sweetheart,

stay close to me.

You want chicken tonight?

RANDY:
No. Pizza.

No.

Chicken.

WOMAN:
Let me get a pound

of salami, please.

Randy.

Okay.

Come here, Randy.

Stay close to me.

Stay real close,

okay, baby?

Please, baby.

Stop bouncing the ball.

I told you. Please!

Stop bouncing the ball!

Sh*t.

Excuse me.

Millie.

I thought that was you.

It's me, Wanda.

From the Bronx. Willis Ave.

Wanda, wow.

It's been a while.

Is he yours?

I'm Randy.

Oh, how adorable.

Oh, but this isn't

compay Wilson's, right?

Wilson's dead.

We gotta go.

It's good to see you.
