what people want to hear?

Just like you think

you know what it's like

to f*** two women at once?

You don't know sh*t.

And until you know sh*t,

you need to rap about

how you don't know sh*t,

because that is garbage.

At least my sh*t

is original.

What you mean?

I listened to your tape.

That's

the real bullshit.

You heard the tape?

Yeah,

and it's just you

rapping biggie's rhymes.

What?

Why do I wanna hear

a tape of you

rapping "juicy"?

'Cause that's

a hot f***ing song.

And I probably killed

my own sh*t on side two.

Hey, we are not done!

Why do i

have to hear about you

being in a talent show

from some lady at my door?

This isn't even

for the talent show,

and it's not even

finished yet.

Well, finish it

by writing some rhymes

from your brain

and not your dick.

You're 13 f***ing years old!

Yo, mc big Mac.

Ok.

Whoo!

All right, let me

get some claps, y'all.

All right, no claps. Ok.

I'm gonna kill you,

bastian!

Hey!

Thank you.

You're finished!

Hey! Hey!

Let me go!

Let me go!

What does that mean?

Speak English!

Hey!

I like

your freestyle.

Thanks.

Mr. gangster, you want

to get out of here?

You're not doing a talent?

My talent is leaving.

Ok.

Ok.

Hell, nah.

Why do you live

in Germany?

My dad works here.

He works

for the soccer team.

He's a player?

No. He used to be a player,

but he's

on the coaching staff.

Really?

But the team

around here is not

very good, you know?

Well, I still think it pays

better than in America.

I don't know.

He played here,

so I guess he works here.

Was your mom mad

about me being over?

Probably.

I don't care.

My mom is a b*tch.

Your mom's nice?

Yeah, she's nice.

Lucky.

Hey, wanna hear

an impression?

What is an impression?

You know who Jay-Z is?

He is married

to Beyonc.

Yeah, it's ya boy.

Jay to the izzo

in the house.

Hova!

And this is like Jay-Z?

You don't know

what he sounds like?

Not really.

Damn.

That was

a badass impression, too.

You need to learn

some Jay-Z.

Here.

Give me earbuds.

No, for you.

Oh.

I like this.

Yeah?

Who was that guy you

left with the other day?

What?

The other day.

You left with someone

on a bike.

Ah, per.

He's in university.

He asked me to a party

tomorrow night.

You want to go?

It will be fun.

My friend Nadine

brings ecstasy.

You know?

We could all do it.

I don't know.

This is my stop.

Good-bye.

Ja?

Ja.

Mo!

Mo, you in here?

Got something for you.

Peace offering.

Mo, pull your--

put your pants on.

I'm coming in, man.

Huh.

I wish you were here.

Sh*t's starting

to get real.

Hallo?

Curt--ahem. Carlos.

Carlos? Mm.

America?

Do you want me

to speak English?

No, no, no.
