When you grow up in a city as big as Miami,

it's easy to feel small.

Past all those skyscrapers and palm trees

is my neighborhood,

just a few miles from South Beach,

but a world away.

And growing up in a place like this,

you learn pretty quick

that you have to speak louder than

everyone else if you want to be heard.

Because the truth is, everyone has a voice.

And there comes a time when you have

to shout, to fight for what you want.

For me and my friends, that time is now.

I'm telling you, there's a 50-50 chance

we're going to jail tonight.

Maybe.

You ready?

You're kidding, right?

Yo, guys. Check it out.

There we go.

How sick is that?

Come on. We're gonna be late.

We're not paying you to do

whatever it is you're doing.

- We'll be right there.

- You better be.

The new manager is out there

with a freaking white glove.

What up, guys?

Check it out.

Topping our local headlines,

Ocean Drive was transformed today

into what some are describing as art,

others a public disturbance.

One minute everything's normal.

The next, these cars and people

came out of nowhere...

I actually hope the police find them

and lock their...asses up.

It was one of the most amazing things

I've ever seen.

Whoever you guys are, we love you!

I love you, too.

- Yeah, how sick is that?

- Where are my waiters?

I've got a two-top that's been

waiting for 10 minutes.

Two-top? Yeah, that's mine.

Patrons do not wait at the Dimont.

You must be the new manager. I'm Sean.

I'm your boss, not your homie.

Next time you leave customers

waiting like that, you're fired.

Don't worry about it, man.

I'm still your homie.

It's cool. You need to fire him for that shirt.

What do they want?

Love them or hate them,

the question on everyone's mind is,

who is The Mob?

I feel it tonight!

Let's get out of here.

Let's get some drinks, let's get some girls...

Eddy, you see this sign?

What sign?

Yo, Miami, Club Euphoria!

Make some noise!

Look at these working stiffs.

What up, big man? What's going on?

Excuse me!

Excuse me! Can I get a drink, please?

Hey. Can I get a beer?

Sure. Why not.

You must be new here.

Sorry, what?

I said, "You must be new here."

Sort of. Yeah.

- Well, I work here, too

- Really?

Unfortunately.

Come on. It can't be that bad.

The pay sucks, there's no benefits,

and the clientele treats us like crap.

There's got to be something good

about this place, right?

Well,

there is this really cute waiter.

Really?

Where is he?

You know what? It's on the house.

Where are you going?

To dance.

Wait, wait, wait, wait...

What are you doing?

I'm escorting a lady to the dance floor.

You dance?

Me? No. Don't you know how this works?

I hold a drink in my hand, you dance

around me and make me look good.

Okay. Got it.

Let's go make you look good.

So am I making you look good yet?

- That's terrible. Is that all you do?

- No.

Okay. Your turn.

I promise I won't laugh. A lot.

Go, go! Go, go!

Hey! Where you going?

Just like that, Cinderella was gone.

Hey! What's up, man?

How you doing, Ricky?

Always good. There you go.

Hey, hey. Come on.

When was the last time

I charged you for a drink, huh?

Just promise me, though,

you have to dance with mi madre.

Jason scares her.

Look at that!

Look.Jesus!

You look hot in that one!

- That is hot. Give me that, please.

- Let me see.

Yo. 20,000 hits in under five hours.

- Yeah, that's crazy.

- You think that's dope?

Mercury is already working on his artwork

for the next Mob.

I still don't understand how you know

what he's saying when he never talks.

- It's Jedi mind power, son.

- That's right.

We connect on a much deeper level,

you know, I know this guy.

Mind to mind. Eye to eye.

Sean, we really need to start thinking

about this next thing now.

I agree.

We've got to build on our momentum

and generate more hits.

You and that contest.

When I was your age,

I didn't even have the YouTubes.

First of all, it's YouTube. All right?

- Whatever.

- Check it out, Ricky.

The first page with 10 million hits

gets a hundred grand.

Even if you win that money,

it's not going to last forever.

It's about getting our stuff out there, Ricky.

Generating exposure.

You make a name for yourself.

That's when the real money comes.

- Exactly. First we get the money. Right?

- Yeah. Right.

- Then we get the power.

- That's right.

You know what comes next, don't you, Pen?

So when is the next one?

Soon. Let's not sweat it tonight.

Because tonight we celebrate!

Yeah! To The Mob! To The Mob!

We turn our back and whip

our hair and just shake it off

I turn my back and whip

my hair and just shake it off

- Okay, okay.

- Come on, Sean. Do it.

Ten more minutes. Okay, sweet pea?

I turn my back and whip

my hair and just shake it off

Fine. One verse.

I whip my hair back and forth

- I whip my hair back and forth

- I whip my hair back and forth

- I whip my hair back and forth...

- I whip my hair back and...

Just whip it

This is what I was afraid of.

Once I start feeling that rhythm, I can't stop.

I got a new move for you, okay?

It's called the "ocean motion."

Here's the ocean, here comes the motion.

You try. Okay? Ocean... Motion...

Let's do it together.

Ocean... Motion...

Ocean motion...

I 90'E you!

Real estate development magnate

Bill Anderson is about to announce

a billion-dollar development project

somewhere in downtown Miami.

- Morning.

- I can make you some eggs.

That's okay. I've got to go to work early

for some meeting.

So? You see it?

Come on. It was the best one yet.

Mom, what's Sean talking about?

Your uncle shut down Ocean Drive

yesterday.

Sarah, go brush your teeth.

We're gonna leave in five minutes.

Fine.

Could you please stop that?

I don't want her thinking

that what you're doing is okay.

What's wrong with it?

You were on the news again yesterday.

What's gonna happen

when you get arrested?

I'm not gonna get busted.

Why are you acting like this?

Because this whole contest

is a long shot. At best.

Why don't you go back to school

and get a profession?

Didn't you ever want to be a part

of something different?

My little brother,

the professional flash mobber.

Hey-

I was talking to my friend, Jessica.

Take a look at this.

She works at this shipping company,

and they have this

management training program.

You have to start out at the bottom,

but if you catch on,

they even pay for your night school.

Please just think about it.

I don't have to think about it.

We are gonna win this thing.

When we do, people are gonna notice.

They'll have to.

Sarah, come on!

Well, let's hope so.

Because right now, you're getting

your butts kicked by a singing cat.

I knew you watched it!

I came to Miami for one reason.

To turn the Dimont into the top destination

in South Beach.

And that's just the beginning.

In the coming months,

I plan to break ground

on a new hotel and residential complex.

And after that, continue building
