That he'd hurt me.

Real bad.

Someone calls my house every night...

...and hangs up.

A couple of weeks ago,

they broke into my car.

And on Friday, someone was in my house,

but I can't prove it.

I don't know what to do.

You can quit.

You didn't.

Hey, Picasso!

What's up?

You guys writers, or what?

- You don't know me, fool?

- No, man.

You should.

You just f***ed up my piece.

You guys from K.O.S.?

"K.O.S." Come on, nigga!

- Yeah, we K.O.S., fool.

- Shut up!

I got some silver in my sack.

I could just clean it up for you.

I'll take care of it.

Don't f*** with me.

I might just have to bust

a cap in your ass.

Come on, it's all about bombing,

getting citywide.

Don't get all violent.

Benny, don't be getting violent now.

I said shut the f*** up!

Yo, nigga, get away, man!

Damn!

I ain't got time for this sh*t.

You think this is funny?

If I don't call my P.O. In 15 minutes,

I'm f***ed!

Come on, let's get out of here.

Benny, come on, man! Let's go!

Come on, Paco, let's step.

Benny Chacon?

Benny's not here.

I think he went AWOL.

- Leonard Thomas?

- Here.

Hi. How are you?

Eskander did file for stress leave.

They asked me

to finish out the semester.

That's great.

Just till the end of the year.

I wanted to thank you for letting me

cry on your shoulder the other day.

It's all right.

Have you seen Benny lately?

His P.O. Says he hasn't

heard from him in 4 days.

Really?

They say, "Be careful

what you pray for. "

Don't get me wrong.

Benny's made my life a living hell.

I've moved in with my mother

because of him.

I love her, but if I eat

one more dinner off the TV tray...

...or watch one more rerun of

Wheel of Fortune, I'll lose my mind.

Time's up!

When did a student

last surprise you?

When the light came on?

That's been a while.

Don't you ever get lonely?

Yeah, sometimes.

There's this passage

in God's Lonely Man...

...by Thomas Wolfe where he says:

"The whole conviction of my life

rests upon the belief...

...that loneliness is the central...

...and inevitable fact

of human existence. "

That's really depressing, Trevor.

It's just my New York upbringing.

It's not easy looking...

...on the bright side these days.

You'd feel that way after spending

a year going in and out of hospitals.

No, that wasn't that tough.

The robbery.

That was the hardest for me to get over.

What'd they steal?

My passion. The spark.

My unguarded self. I miss them.

I want them back.

If you ask me, they're still there.

I think everyone else has given up.

They're so beaten down.

But you're different.

You refuse to be beaten.

Well, thank you.

Where are you going?

Got something for you.

Did you know that
