You know, now I just need

a little help.

- I ain't got no money.

- Well, you'd better go find some,

'cause your kids

are hungry, you fool.

- Who the hell is she?

- My name is Child Welfare,

and I'm gonna lock you up.

- Are you threatening me?

- Oh, yeah. What, you don't know

when someone is

threatening you, huh?

Mike... Michael, look.

They turned my lights off,

all right?

Your son, he needs some...

some clothes.

- I told you.

- Could you...

could you just give me

some money for food?

I'll tell you what... y'all need

to take your asses on

and don't you come

to my job no more.

Huh! Heh.

Come on.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

I'll be right there.

- Cheryl.

I can't go anywhere

with you, Cheryl!

I've been there, mamacita.

Ai, we need money.

You need money.

I'm gonna rob a bank.

Come on, be serious.

Cheryl, why are

you so crazy?

Because it's fun,

because I like it.

You know what? I've been thinking

a lot about your father.

I think you really should

go down there to Georgia.

- What if he left you something?

- No, Cheryl.

Come on. Why not?

Because I'm tired of getting my hopes up

for things that don't happen.

So what? You have nothing

to lose right now.

Come on, there's the bus.

Watch your step.

Watch your step there.

You can say that again.

My back is messed up.

Y'all be careful now.
