It's not that.

I need some real help around here.

No, nigga. Get your ass back over here.

You're a grown-ass man.

You wanna live here?

You're gonna follow some f***ing rules.

- It's too rich for my blood, man.

- I don't give a f***ing sh*t, Nephew.

It's either go to Portland...

or f*** off.

- I'm not running no non-profit here.

- Come on, man.

Hey, you know we don't have

nowhere else to stay.

I'm telling you.

When I wake up in the morning...

if you ain't ready to contribute,

I don't wanna see you...

I don't wanna see that f***ing kid...

and I don't wanna see

that piece of sh*t-ass car

you got parked on side of my house!

Niggas gotta earn around here!

Now, you write that sh*t down.

Wake up.

- You can stand up, OK?

- All right.

Are you awake?

Go grab your pool.

OK.

I'll be gone

I'll be gone

I'll be gone

I'll be gone

Days pass

For now I remain

But one day the time will come

When I will see, no longer stay

Can no longer refrain

Days pass

For now I remain

But one day the time will come

When I will see, no longer stay

Are you all right?

- Yes.

- You good?

- Yes.

- All right.

You're gonna get sick of me reading to you

all the time, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

- All right?

- OK.

OK.

"He was on the way from church,

five years old,

that he saw his first dead man."

"A loud deacon."

"He knew everything about Jesus

and nothing about blackjack."

"Then, suddenly...

he was Sunday quiet."

"'See how easy it is to change things?'

my uncle said to him."

"'This is power, my boy.'"

"He knew then

that no daddy was Superman..."

"and no baby mama was Wonder Woman."

"That sh*t was bullshit."

All right.

Lay down.

It's time to sleep.

All right. You comfortable?

- Yes.

- I love you, OK?

OK.

Good night.

Different meaning to power.

Different meaning to power.

Fish and baloney and sausage.

And then... an egg.

And I like hamburgers.

Onion, tomato...

[Bambi] What are the odds

of a single father getting a job?

[woman] Let's get a copy

of your driver's license.

I'm still in the process of getting that.

Without you being able to drive,

it's gonna be real hard to find you a job.

- I can work here.

- [laughs]

I can clean the windows. I'd do anything.

We don't have any positions.

You gotta start with the license.

But you should come back,

use the computers.

Things do open up.

All right, thanks.

Dad, horses!

Cool!

Come on, we gotta go to Gideons.

OK.

How do they expect me to get rehabilitated

when they won't rehabilitate me

in the first place?

Man, you need to be writing.

That's what you need to be doing.

Use that to get Day up out of here.

All I need is eight bucks an hour,
