WALLACE
The one that Sergeant Clemmons is crawling up your ass about.
CRUZ
Oh, that one.
WALLACE
Yeah. Yeah, you didn't tell me that Ronnie guy is your C.I.
CRUZ
Yeah, didn't think it was important.
WALLACE
Well, it is. You show him the body of his dead son. Maybe tell him that we had someone in custody thinking he'd clean shit up for you.
CRUZ
That's not how it happened.
WALLACE
Yeah, well, I wanna question him myself. See what he says.
CRUZ
I'll talk to him.

What the fuck do you think happened? He got himself shot.
JADA
He gotta go to a hospital.
ETHEL
Not with a bullet in him.
JADA
Ethel. I can't be involved with something like this.

ETHEL
No, no. You got to fix him, that's what you gonna do.
JADA
I can't.
ETHEL
Our boys are all we got. I can't have him going to a hospital. The first thing they gonna do is call the police. Then the police is gonna ask questions, and then they gonna put him in jail, and then he's done for.
JADA
It's bad.
ETHEL
That's why you gonna do this for me. Please.
JADA
I'm gonna need more supplies.

BRANDON

LAVERNE
Mmm. I ain't doing no yellow on these walls.
GREAVY
It's bumblebee, not yellow, woman.
LAVERNE
Shit, the hell it is. Look like piss to me. I should know, I'm always cleaning up after your ass in the bathroom. What you think, Brandon?
BRANDON
White.
LAVERNE
White? What you talking about? The walls is already white.
BRANDON
Put some fresh white. Keep it neutral.
GREAVY
Fuck fresh white. Th-the realtor said we need some color up in this place. Make it pop. I'm gonna take out them carpets, too, get us some of them bamboo floors.
BRANDON
I need somewhere to crash for a minute.
GREAVY
What's wrong with your crib? Oh, you beefing with your girl, right?
BRANDON
I just need somewhere to stay.
LAVERNE
Now what you done gone and done now?
BRANDON
Nothing.
GREAVY
Mm-hmm. Okay.
LAVERNE
Mm. See, I knew that she wasn't gonna last long.
GREAVY
Mm-hmm.
LAVERNE
That boy's on Jack and Jill, bitch.
GREAVY
You feeling any of these?
BRANDON
Green cool.
GREAVY
Yeah, they call that one "Quaking Grass," some kind of Japanese green, I think like that tea they always sipping. What I'm gonna do, is take and bump some of that white trim up in here with that right there, and this room will be some soothing zen ass shit. Yeah, right?
BRANDON
I guess.
GREAVY
So, how long you need to stay?
BRANDON
A week maybe.
GREAVY
All right. Well, I'm gonna be working here, so watch your shit. I don't wanna hear you bitching about getting paint on your shit. That's on you.
BRANDON
That's good to know.
GREAVY
She don't come in here no more. Says his ghost be living up in here. You believe in ghosts?
BRANDON
Not really.
GREAVY
Yeah, neither did I, but the other night, I was up in here having my cigar with a little bump of Remy. You like cigars? They help you plot shit out, you know? Anyway, I'm sitting right there contemplating colors, you know, when it happened. I mean, I didn't see him, but I felt him, like he was up in here moving around in the smoke.
BRANDON
Why you telling me all this?
GREAVY
'Cause maybe you feel the same thing, and I didn't want you thinking you was losing your shit. Coogie was a good kid, so I'm guessing his spirit ain't evil or nothing like that. Matter of fact, he was kind of, kind of peaceful. Yogurt in the fridge, I like to have that with berries for my breakfast, so don't fuck with that. Beer is cool, as long as you chip in and buy some every once in a while. But don't fuck with the yogurt.
RONNIE
What's going on, lil man?
LAVERNE
Where you going, baby?
BRANDON
Just to go get my check.
LAVERNE
You gonna be around for dinner? We having porkchops.
BRANDON
I'll be around.
LAVERNE

GREAVY
Nah, we having spaghetti.
LAVERNE
Why we can't have porkchops? What are you talking about?
GREAVY
You don't wanna make things too comfortable for that boy. He gonna be cribbing up in here.
LAVERNE
That's my thought.

QUENTIN
Oh, just doing a little fishing, that's all.
SONNY
And if you catch something?
QUENTIN

BRANDON
What's up?
KEVIN
I need the gun back.
BRANDON
For what?
KEVIN
It ain't mine's.
BRANDON
Whose is it?
KEVIN
My boy Jake. It's his brother's piece.
BRANDON
He don't know you got it, do he?
KEVIN
No, but he ain't nobody to fuck with, all right? You got it or not?
BRANDON
Yeah, I got it, but it's gonna take me a minute to fetch it.
KEVIN

BRANDON
Look. Look, look, I'll tell you what. I'll go get it, and as soon as I got it, I'll call you. We'll take it to him together. All right?
KEVIN
All right. So, you asked around?
BRANDON
About what?
KEVIN
You know. He dead or not...
BRANDON
Don't bring that up no more. Listen to me, it's gonna be all right. All right? Everything gonna be all good. Just don't talk about it no more, you hear me? I'll call you when I got it. Be safe, Kevin.
RONNIE
What's going on, lil man?
JADA
You're lucky it went clear through. If it would've clipped your liver, you'd be dead.
RONNIE
Thank you.
JADA
Don't thank me. Thank God.
RONNIE
It ain't what you think.
JADA
Please shut the fuck up.

JADA
The police get you for this, I was never here. You hear me?
RONNIE
Yeah.
ETHEL
He ain't no snitch.
JADA
Says you. Don't put any pressure on the wound. Otherwise it'll open right back up, and if that happens, you can go to the doctor, 'cause after this, I'm done.
RONNIE
You got anything for the pain?
JADA
Yeah, don't get shot again.
RONNIE
Pills? Something?
JADA
Like this?
RONNIE
Yeah.
JADA
You can use Tylenol.Ethel.

What up?
HANNIBAL
Yo, man, so, for the last week, like, my house been smelling like shit, right? I mean, like, fucking foul, nigga. You know what I'm sayin'?
BRANDON
Word.
HANNIBAL
So I go under the basement, and I put a trap down there, 'cause I think it's a motherfuckin' skunk, right? Come to find out...it ain't a skunk, it's a possum, and it had a litter of possums, and a skunk must've sprayed it. And apparently, possum daddies are all fucking deadbeats, man.
BRANDON

HANNIBAL
'Cause they fuck the mom, and then they leave. And 20 days later, them possum bitches be having, like, seven, eight babies, and the daddy's nowhere to be found. Nigga, it's like a motherfuckin' Maury Povich episodeunderneath my house.
BRANDON

HANNIBAL
Anyway, I called the animal control, and they say it's going to be $75 to get rid of one animal. Eight possums is $600. Nigga, motherfuck that.
BRANDON
Hey, cuz, is there... Is there anyway we could just...not talk right now?
HANNIBAL
The fuck you come over to my house for, if you don't want to talk?
BRANDON
Got no place else to go.
