My son got a brain.
Now, you cut that out.

1:03:05
- But he don't use it.
- See that brain there?

1:03:08
Now there are two
new members of the Agee household.

1:03:11
Arthur's sister Tomika
has a baby girl named Jazz.

1:03:17
And Arthur's best friend Shannon moved in
to escape his own troubled home.

1:03:22
Shannon is like me.
1:03:25
he understood me,
and I understood him.

1:03:30
he could sit back and talk to me
'cause I was his best friend.

1:03:33
he trusted me, and I trust him.
1:03:39
It's been crazy, as far as his father
and his mother's breakup.

1:03:43
he'll come home,
and Bo stealing and buying drugs...

1:03:50
and beat on his mother and stuff.
1:03:56
You have to call the police
or get an order of protection...

1:03:59
for him to leave me alone.
1:04:25
My father was the same way.
1:04:28
I think about it all the time,
when you come home, and they fightin'.

1:04:32
You know, that gets to a child's head.
1:04:36
They can't - Especially when you're
living with your mother...

1:04:40
and you young,
and that's all you see all the time.

1:04:46
he had to do something
to keep his spirit up.

1:04:57
Ahh!
