Um, subject:
King,just out of County,
participation mandatory
and details to follow.
All right, turn it off.
I'm not saying shit
till you turn the damn thing on.
So, um, what's your name?
King.
King.
- How'd you get that name?
- It's always been.
Is that your real name
or your street name or...?
- Just my name.
- So how was...?
- Can I have a smoke?
- Sure.
Thanks.
- So how was jail?
- Oh, f*ck.
- Can I...? Can I say "f*ck"?
- Yeah.
It says here, "assault,
possession, loitering."
- Yeah, right.
It's just survival.
A lot of kids tell you that they party
all night with Axl Rose,
or that their girlfriend
just got banged by the Crips,
or they've seen five guys
get murdered or something,
but the truth is, it's not hard.
It's not easy.
It just is.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
How long have you been
on the street?
Six or seven years.
How old are you?
Uh, 20, might be 21.
I'm not exactly sure.
That's a good question, though.
Did you have any brothers
Yeah, I got a sister, but,
uh, she's gone from home too.
Maybe she'll show up here
in Hollywood sometime, you know.
I'll take care of her
or something.
I hope she's not into drugs
or anything. She probably is.
Might be dead.
What about your mom,
your dad?
- What about them?
- Do you, um...?
Not very comfortable
talking about them.
Yeah.
Hey, what the hell? Hey, you with
the camera, up here, I'm talking.
Drugs?
What kind you got?
Ha-ha, just kidding.
- What kind you do?
- Don't do them.
Hey, look, nobody's
gonna see this tape.
I'm not shitting you.
- I just want you to be straight with me.
- I'm being straight with you.
You do realise that your participation in this
program is one of the terms of your parole.
Yeah, I also realise that you're giving
me 10 bucks a pop for these sessions.
Thank you very much.
Is that why you decided to participate
in this program? Because of the money?
Hell, it's better than
picking up trash on the freeway.
(CHUCKLES)
Uh, are you...? Are you done?
Is that it? Can I go?
Just a minute. Um, where...?
Where are you gonna go?
Well, I've been in lockup for two months,
where the f*ck do you think I'm gonna go?
You going back out
on the street?
Yeah.
(MICKEY THOMAS'
"FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH" PLAYING)
INTERVIEWER:
What...?What do you do for fun?
KING (CHUCKLING):
Fun?
Anything we can.
Just kick back or hassle tourists.
Hell, we'd watch ice melt if it was free.
To hell with the devil!
(CROWD CHEERING)
I thank the Lord
you're all here tonight.
I pray that you find
what the Lord wants for you.
He has a purpose
for each and every one of you.
And us!
And remember,
God does not create trash!
(BAND PLAYING
(SINGING)
INTERVIEWER:
Do you have friends?
No. I got a family.
It says here you haven't
been with a family for...
My friends are my family.
Of course you can't trust them for shit,
but, you know, once you know that, it's cool.
Greg! Little J!
(BAND PLAYING LOUDLY)
Hey, Greg! Shut up!
- Who threw that?!
- CROWD:
He did!- Hey, it's King!
- King, man, shit.
Hey, did you miss me?
Why'd you do that, brother?
Because you got terrible extensions in your
hair, and because you're just... You're shitty.
- That's not funny!
- Why don't you jump, King?
INTERVIEWER:
What's a typical King day?
KING:
A typical King day?INTERVIEWER:
Mm.(KING COUGHS)
KING:
Well, hit the streets,hook up with my friends.
You know.
Kick back, hang out.
Stay out of trouble.
(CHEERING)
That's it. That's it.
