:06:00
AHMAD: I can't say for sure
Mom started it...
:06:03
but Dad couldn't resist...
:06:05
whatever it was
she was throwing down.
:06:08
Look at 'em.
See what I'm saying?
:06:09
[Whispering]
Can you do me a favor?
:06:11
ROLLERSKATER: Look out, y'all!
:06:12
AHMAD: When I first saw Simuel,
I knew he was up to no good.
:06:13
TERl: Aah!
:06:14
ROLLERSKATER: I told you!
:06:17
He wanted Bird bad...
:06:18
and there wasn't nothing he
wouldn't do or say to get her.
:06:21
Something bad
was about to happen.
:06:23
It was as plain to see
as those phat suits he wore.
:06:30
[Groaning]
:06:34
What do you think?
:06:36
MAXINE: Kenny...
:06:36
You got much game, Bird.
:06:38
AHMAD: Mom stole Dad
from under Aunt Teri's nose...
:06:39
I learned from you.
Heh heh heh.
:06:41
and the two haven't
gotten along since.
:06:42
But what's in this for me?
:06:44
MAXINE: Get out!
:06:46
Get outta the car now!
:06:48
Get outta the car right now!
:06:48
Bird!
:06:51
Oh, shit!
:06:52
Bird, where you at, baby?
:06:54
I got some great news.
:06:57
Bird!
:06:59
Get off her, Teri! Come on, now.
:07:02
Hey, Teri! Come on, now!
:07:04
MOTHER JOE: Just cut out
all that hoo-shaw jawing.
:07:07
Y'all do this every Sunday.
:07:08
I've been cooking longer
than you've been alive.
:07:09
I found a gig.
:07:11
Cornbread.
:07:12
Cornbread is my specialty.
:07:13
LEM: Heh heh heh.
:07:15
KENNY: Um, Lem...why'd you
get thrown in the joint?
:07:16
Yeah, Kenny called me yesterday,
and told me about a job...
:07:20
MILES: Kenny, don't--
:07:21
at the biggest in-house
printing company in town.
:07:22
KENNY: What?
:07:24
I went in cold...
:07:25
and they didn't even know
who the hell Kenny Simmons was.
:07:26
I ain't gonna lie to y'all.
:07:29
I made a stupid mistake.
:07:31
Came here from New York
to help my cousin out and...
:07:32
-I knew I had to kick some game.
-Right.
:07:34
I guess I got caught.
:07:34
So I told the man
next to the goddamn man...
:07:36
-Doing?
-Kenny, dang.
:07:39
I was the best man for the job,
you know?
:07:39
LEM: It's all right.
:07:41
I got caught sellin' somethin'.
:07:41
Yes.
:07:43
He paid his debt to society.
:07:43
So, finally, he looks at me...
:07:44
It's no different
from Daddy and his gambling.
:07:45
Mm-hmm?
:07:47
...stands there, says...
:07:47
In life,
we all make bad choices.
:07:49
you're hired.
:07:51
Right there on the spot.
:07:51
My husband was gamblin',
and he was bad at it.
:07:52
Like he knew that I knew
that he knew that I knew...
:07:55
Fact, we almost lost this house.
:07:56
that l...was...the man. Yeah!
:07:57
But I worked...
on my hands and knees...
