Thank you, sir.
Have a nice day.
Next in line, please.
Ooh, a week in Hawaii.
- All right, I'll fill in for you.
- Are you sure?
Yeah. You take your little honeymoon
before I change my mind, all right?
Oh, thank you.
- There you go, sir.
- Thank you very much.
Have a nice day, sir.
Next in line, please.
Hey, Darnell, I didn't know
you had an account here.
As a matter of fact,
I never even saw you out of the projects.
Shut the f*** up.
Empty the f***ing drawer.
Empty the drawer.
Next in line, please.
I just have a straight...
Uh-uh, Darnell.
Darnell, don't do this.
- Now, come on, Darnell. Stop playing.
- What?
What playing? It's not a f***ing game.
Empty the f***ing drawer.
Hell no.
I want nothing to do with this.
Everybody, get on the f***ing floor, now!
Get the f*** on the floor.
- Sit down. Don't stand up!
- Give me the money!
- Get your ass down!
- Give him the money!
- Let's get this money, baby.
- Now!
Get your...
Give him the money.
Lay your ass down. Lay down!
Hurry up!
No. No.
Okay.
Now fill it up!
Give him the money!
I said, hurry up!
Fill up everything!
- Oh, my God. DARNELL: Everything.
Hurry up!
- Come on, man. Don't cry now.
- Hurry up!
Here, here, take it.
Oh, my God. No.
Come on, man!
All right, stay down!
Is everyone okay?
It's all right now.
Okay. Okay.
Why don't, uh...?
Why don't we take it from the top?
- I thought we covered everything.
- How well did you know the perpetrator?
I've just known Darnell
from around the way, is all.
We live in the same projects.
Frankie, will you do me a favor?
Just tell me one thing,
and we'll get out of here.
Sure.
What's the procedure
when you're being robbed?
Look, sir.
- I'm aware that I did. I'm aware...
- Stop, stop. Stop now!
What's the procedure
when you're being robbed?
You pull the money clip...
...from your right-hand drawer.
- And then you signal with the left...
- You signal with the left.
So you know the procedure?
Yes, like I said, the procedure
has been told to me over a million times.
But why is it
if that procedure's been told to you...
...why didn't you follow the procedure?
Because he had a gun.
And I went for my clip, but he shot her.
He shot her right in front of me.
I'm afraid, Miss Sutton,
we're gonna have to let you go.
The fact you knew the perpetrator
doesn't sit well with us.
Wait, wait. That's not right.
I haven't done anything wrong.
I can't help who I know.
Mr. Zachery...
...just last week you gave me a promotion,
and now you're gonna take my job away?
What happens the next time
one of your friends robs the bank?
How do we know you're not in collusion?
Collusion?
Let me tell you something.
I am here at 8:
20 sharp every morning.I work my ass off until quitting time.
Yesterday I counted $240,000
by hand for you.
That's how you should know.
I mean, come on, this is just not right.
in your tired-ass f***ing bank!
And you're gonna fire me?
- Calm down.
- You couldn't even wait.
You didn't even bother to ask me
if I was thirsty, sister.
She's involved.
I want everything you have on her.
I thought I said a '70s graduation party.
'70s, Halloween, what's the difference?
You the only one in the neighborhood
who'd give a '70s graduation party.
Anyway, T.T., Jajuan,
y'all look awfully groovy tonight.
- You like it, girl?
- Thank you for following directions.
Simple directions.
Would you look at him? Ain't he fine?
- I know.
Can you believe he's going to college?
Man, I remember
when you was just a little scrub...
...always trying to follow us around
and sh*t.
On that tricycle.
Y'all always trying
to mess up somebody game.
Game?
What game?
Whatever.
You got a 10 I can borrow?
We need more chips. Stuff running out.
Come on, you're the one
that's gonna be making all the loot.
- Yeah, college boy.
- You got to stop spoiling that boy.
Taking care of him
ever since your mama and daddy died.
- What you got?
- You ain't drinking none of this sh*t.
Stevie, what's the problem?
I'm not going.
I ain't going to college.
What?
All right, look, don't start tripping.
Okay, you cannot change your mind. We
got into UCLA, that's where we're going.
I ain't changed my mind.
I just didn't get a scholarship.
- They didn't give you a scholarship?
- No.
- We told them, only way we could apply...
- I know.
All right, well don't worry about it.
I'll take care of it.
It's probably just because
I'm a January graduate.
How you gonna take care of it?
You can barely pay the bills around here.
I'll just get a job.
- I'll just help around here until I can just...
- No.
Wrong, we gonna stick to the plan...
...and we are definitely getting you
up out of here.
- I ain't here with this fool.
- Good afternoon, ladies...
...and gentleman.
All right, listen up.
Now, these good white folks...
...are out here trying to recycle
all of their glasses, plastics and aluminum.
And you b*tches putting
all the sh*t in the dumpsters.
You got to recycle.
Who had 104?
I did.
You didn't empty the cans in 104.
I'm docking your pay.
- That ain't right.
- Who are you supposed to be?
Goddamn Mighty Morphing
f***ing Power Ranger?
What you gonna do?
I'm docking her pay.
Speaking of pay...
...I thought you said
that you was gonna pay me under the table.
They're taking taxes out of my check.
I ain't got enough money...
- ...to pay for my babysitter.
- On this good earth...
...there are three peoples
I don't mess with.
The I, the R, and the S.
But I got my babysitter.
Look, if you don't like working
for Luther's Janitorial...
...why don't you just
take your broke ass home?
Otherwise, shut the f*** up
and get back to work.
Hey. You know, you're one
cold-hearted motherf***er, Luther.
- Get back to work.
- You ain't have to talk to her like that.
Get back to work.
Tisean, you have got to
learn to stand up for yourself.
Did y'all hear what happened to Frankie?
- Our Frankie? TISEAN: What?
Lorenz and them robbed her bank.
This kid's got 211 s in four cities.
He has one at Nevada, Arizona.
I mean, sh*t he's damn near a professional,
and what's he, 21?
They're getting younger.
Yeah.
I want everything you've got
on his young ass.
Where he hangs out, who he knows...
...where his mother lives, everything.
I want it all.
Look at that. Check that out.
His hair.
What is that?
AP?
What's that, a nickname?
