I... I mean..

35 days absent.

There is no way we can pass you.

No way.

Hey, Cisco, we are here for

the same thing every time.

What are you doing with your

time?

- Yeah, I..

Babe, I'm on my way home now.

- Did you hear what I just said?

- Yeah, yeah, I heard you.

- Alright, then look at me

when I'm talkin' to you

and take your feet

down off my desk.

Now, look, I know you don't care

about your diploma

but you are close

to finishing your trade.

were my choices, again?

Auto repair.

Auto manufacturing.

all your classes.

That's some big deal.

You got one more year and you

will be a certified welder.

with your life, Cisco.

What are you good at?

the steering wheel!

f***ing kill us, man!

- Yo!

This camera's dope.

But we could record

our tricks on this.

- Yo, come on, bro,

I'm trying to get to the crib.

- Yo, Patty!

Uh..

Bro, that's the ugliest sh*t

I've ever seen.

Your job is to make

the customer happy.

her home and keep her, huh?
