I didn't get into UCLA.

And I'm not going

because I didn't get accepted.

- You didn't get in?

- Come on, Stony, don't go off on me now.

Don't you tell me not to go off on you.

Do you have any idea

what I had to go through?

Do you?

I'm not staying around for this.

You are gonna hang around for this

and don't you move.

Why did you have to lie to me?

Stony, you know how long you told me

that I had to go to college?

Well, I'm sorry, but maybe that life

is just not for me.

Sh*t.

- Who is it?

- Lorenz, it's Stevie, man.

Come on, open up, man.

Hey, Lorenz, chill, man.

Hey, I heard you robbed a bank.

Rob no bank.

- Heard your party was off the hook.

- Yeah.

You know why I didn't come,

because your sister don't like me.

No, what?

You want this, huh?

My sister ain't gonna do nothing.

Tanika, hook him up.

He ain't even from Acorn.

F*** all that. Hook his ass up.

Take your ass in the kitchen,

with your raggedy ass. You talk too much.

- Come on.

- Ain't nothing funny, man.

Go on, you too.

Yeah.
