all over the world, really,

all kinds of geographical locations.

I had a salesmen who, um,

would participate in network marketing.

[boy] Don't listen to him.

He tried to get my dad

to sell those vitamins.

- He said it's a pyramid scheme.

- It's not a pyramid scheme!

It's a, uh, multilevel, uh,

business opportunity.

That's a scam!

You're a scam artist!

- Your daddy's a punk.

- You a punk!

OK, Javy. Mr. Plummer. Can we say thank

you to Mr. Plummer, please? Class!

[all] Thank you, Mr. Plummer.

Thank you so much, Mr. Plummer,

for taking out the time with the kids.

[Curtis] I'm gonna see you

outside, Jasmine.

OK. Yeah, let's just...

You need to give him a F.

- I'll see you outside too.

- Thank you, Mr. Plummer.

Thank you, Mr. Plummer.

[kids snickering, whispering]

Jasmine! Jasmine!

Know what? I'm gonna meet you

down the block next time.

I ain't going nowhere near that school.

I didn't tell you to come

in the first place.

You're using them big words,

trying to make yourself sound important.

Mr. Entrepreneur. How come you

couldn't just say you were unemployed?

Why you didn't tell 'em?

I don't think my mom'd be cool

with me hanging out here.

I know she not gonna want you here.

That's why you ain't gonna tell her.

Curtis! Throw the ball here, boy!

Do you mind if I throw the ball

with the reverend a little bit?

Ah!

Knock yourself out.

So when am I gonna see

you back in church, boy?

I don't know, reverend.

I've been kinda preoccupied lately.

Preoccupied since your mama died.

It's been two years, Curtis.

It is time to move on, son.

Hey. Go long, brotha.

All right. Hit me.

Hit me, hit...

Oops.

Hey, girl.

Jasmine!

Jasmine, pick up that ball.

You ever play sports in school?

No, I don't like sports.

What do you mean,

you don't like sports?

- I want to be a model.

- A model?

[laughs]

For real? You don't even

look like the model type.

- What, I'm ugly?

- No.

I didn't say you was ugly, did I?

Just you always got your nose

in a book or something.

I thought you wanted to be something

a little more intellectual.

Next makeover candidate

deserves to feel like a queen.

So you ain't never

threw the football before today?

No, now leave me alone.

I'm trying to watch Tyra.

It's hard to believe, though.

You throw pretty good.

Shh!

Here is what Francesca looks like.

Come on out, goddess!

[Curtis] Is this a Tyra marathon

or somethin'?

You know, might as well just go on

outside and throw the football around

- a little before your mama come back.

- Shh!

All right. I'm shhh, shhh, shhh.

- You're not gonna shut up, are you?

- Nope.

Here we go! Here we go!

Here we go, go, go! Come on.

Hey, you kinda slow.
