...of this rite of passage

between the father and his son.

Me and you right now, it's big.

And kick.

Jump, jump.

And mambo.

Now kick him in the nuts, girl.

Kick him in the face. And punch.

Chop, chop.

This here, son...

...is your hope chest.

This is my legacy to you.

A hope chest?

They come in all different sizes

and colors.

Let me talk to you, son.

This right here, son--

Look at me, boy. Watch this here.

This is the Trojan ribbed, lubricated.

Sturdy, reliable, dependable. Like a truck.

When you don't really know what you into,

and it get a little rough for you...

...makes you downshift.

Look at me. Feel me.

All right, now, look strong. Come on, son.

Close your mouth. There you go.

Keep it tight. Work with it.

Love you, man.

And mambo. Lucy Liu!

Now kick him in the nuts, girl.

Kick him in the face. And punch.

Chop, chop. Yeah. Mambo.

Lucy Liu, now.

Kick him in the back, the face.

Punch. Chop, chop. Mambo.

Lucy Liu. Now kick him in the nuts, girl.

Kick him in the face. Step, punch.

Girl, you know better than that.

You better put that chicken wing

down, okay?

I see you, girl.

Five, six, seven, eight, down.

And wiggle.

And shimmy.

And five and six and....

Touch yourself, come on.

Hold me tight. Yes.
