:50:06
Mom, what happened?
Another pipe burst.
You can't be in here.
:50:09
How long will it take to fix?
Oh, who knows?
Building codes, inspections.
:50:15
Now the city wants to do a full
assessment, see if the building's
even worth reopening.
:50:18
Ma, you can't let them shut you down.
Honey,
:50:21
your telling me what l can and cannot do
is not gonna improve my mood right now.
:50:28
l don't know what to do about this.
lf there's a danger to the kids--
:50:33
He's one of those kids,
you know, trying to act all bad.
:50:36
But 10 seconds into a routine,
l catch a glimpse of him.
:50:40
lt's like l can just see
this light shining out of him.
:50:43
He's a kid again.
Yeah.
:50:45
lt's the best feeling l know seeing that.
:50:48
lt's scary though.
:50:49
'Cause when l think of him hanging out
with B.B., it's like l can watch that light
get dimmer and dimmer.
:50:53
Well, you know, when a thug joint's
the hottest spot in the hood,
:50:55
it's hard for a kid
not to want to be down.
:50:57
l know. l'm over here.
:51:00
Nah, nah, nah.
l wanna show you something.
:51:02
All right.
All right, sexy?
:51:07
Stop with that.
:51:16
You know, most of the kids
l came up with werejust like that.
:51:18
Trying to be thugged out,
and wanting to fit in.
:51:21
'Cause that's what
everybody else was doing.
:51:23
Where are they now,jail?
:51:26
Most of them, or headed
that way like B.B., or dead.
:51:31
Listen, this is bad date talk.
:51:33
We should change the subject.
What's your favorite color?
:51:36
How come you turned out so good?
:51:38
She thinks l turned out good.
:51:40
l'm serious.
l don't know. l got lucky.
:51:44
What happened?
:51:47
Well, the guy that used to own this shop
lived right next door to me and my mom.
:51:51
And when he saw me
get into some bad things,
:51:54
he gave me a job here
sweeping up the floors.
:51:57
lt's crazy 'cause
he couldn't even afford it.
:51:59
He paid me right
out of his own pocket.
