Yeah. What do you need for Moms, bruh?
Let me get three Dungeness Crab.

Fat ones, too. Don't try and play me.
So, you're having a fish fry

Uh, yeah. Something like that.
Oh, I work here.
I can help you figure it out.
It's my day off.
Um... Well, I'm cooking for a friend
tonight before we go to the city,
and he loves fried fish,
like Southern style...
- Southern. Sounds like he's black.
- Oh, no, he's white.
But he knows
a lot of black people, I guess.
Uh-huh.
I don't know what I got myself into.
- Hello?
- Grandma?
Oscar, how you doin', baby?
- I'm at work and I got this...
- You're at work?
- Yeah, Grandma.
- Bye.
No, no, no, Grandma.
It's my day off, all right?
- I'm shopping for the party tonight.
- Oh, l'm sorry, baby.
I thought you were playing on the phone.
Oh no, Grandma.
But I do have this customer here.
She wants to have a fish fry,
but she don't know how.
You think you can tell her
everything she needs to know?
Oh, no problem, baby.
What kind of fish does she want to fry?
Grandma, she don't know.
She don't know what kind
of fish she wants to fry?
Nah, Grandma, nah.
Put her on the phone.

Hi, Grandma Bonnie.
There's Emi's right there, bruh.

Hope you found everything you need.
Yeah, I just want to talk to you

Look, I want to talk about my job.

You can start me off with one shift
a week or whatever, I'll be here.
Work me 40 hours, only pay me for 20...
Dude, I hired somebody else.
For me to bring you back, that means

Somebody help!
Grant, come on.
All right, let me see
your hands... ears...
...your hair... inside your mouth.
All right, turn around.
Bend over, squat.
All right, you're good.
- Hey baby.
- Hey Mama.
Happy birthday.
What happened to your face?
You look nice today.
My girls came to see you last night?
- We played board games.
- I bet y'all let her win, too.
- Of course.
- Y'all hella weak for that.
She'll get no easy wins around me.
- Mm.
- What?
Remember that microwave popcorn
you bought a while back?
- Hella good.
- Yeah.
While I was putting it in the bowl,
Tatiana just standing there,
staring up at me,
looking like she wanted
something.
OK, then what? Come on, Ma.
She says, "Grandma,
do we have any dark butter?"
Dark... What's dark butter?
I'm thinking maybe she watched
Food Network or something.
I said, "Sweetheart,
what's dark butter?"
And she said, "Well, when my daddy
took me to see Wall-E,
he asked for light butter.
So now I want to try some
dark butter this time."
- She too smart...
- This Moms right here?
- She a snitch, too?
- What the fuck you say about my moms?
- Fuck you and this bitch.
- Talking tough with these guards.
I'm gonna see your bitch-ass
on the outside.
- Bitch-ass Palma Ceia nigger.
- Bitch-ass motherfucker.
- Oscar...
- Fuck DGF!
- Is there a problem in here?
- Oh, fuck you!
- Is there a problem here?
- No, we good.
Yeah, we good for now.
Yeah.
Yeah, fucked up...
Calm down.
Oscar.
What happened to your face?
Dark butter...
She always listenin'.
Too damn smart for her own good.
Pre-school said, we should think about
starting her in school early...
Phina tell you that?
Yeah, we'll put her in private school.
Uniforms.
I was looking at Saint B the other day,
and they got this new thing where
they start 'em off speaking Spanish,
- then they put them back on English...
- I'm not coming here anymore.
What?
I'm not coming here
for these visits anymore.
- This is my last time.
- I know, I know...
I know, this is
the last time for me, too.
I told you that.
I ain't going down no more.
You wanna keep putting Sophina through
this, then you go right ahead, OK?
But Tatiana? That baby
doesn't deserve this, Oscar.
She's too young to know what's going on.
So I guess that's why
she asked me why you love
taking your vacations more
than you like being with her.
- She ain't say that.
- Oh, so I'm a liar now.
Ma, you got to tell her I love her.
- Tell her I...
- Tell her yourself.
The next time you call home,
you tell her yourself.
Or better yet,
let her come visit you here.
Yeah, but I...
She don't need to be exposed...
You already exposed her...
- You already exposed her to this.
- So what, you gonna leave me?
You gonna leave me again?
What kind of mom is you?
You gonna fuck around
and leave me in here?
You ain't never had
my fuckin' back anyway.
I'm in here by myself.
- I love you, Oscar.
- You don't love nothin'.
I do.
And I'm praying for you.
I'll see you when you get home.
Hey Ma, hold up. Let me get a hug, Ma?
Grant,back to the visiting area.
Hey Ma, I'm sorry!
Get the fuck out of here!
Ma, I'm sorry! At least get a hug!
Ma, let me just get a hug!
Hey Ma, I'm sorry!
Get the fuck off me!
Get the fuck off me!
Hey Ma, I'm sorry!
Ma, I'm sorry!
Get the fuck off me!
Get the fuck off me, bruh!
Hey, Ma...!
Shit, bruh. I didn't think
we was ever going to hook up.
- What's good?
- I'm smooth.
I got good news
and bad news, though, my nig.
Don't tell me you ain't got it.
- Sold it to a white boy.
- For real? For how much?
Gave me a rack for it.
I wasn't gonna pay that high.
I still need it, though. What's good?
For the drive up?
Right on, Osc.
No, you're good, bruh.
- You sure?
- Take it.
Right on.
Burn one with your boy
right quick, though.
Nah, it's all you, bruh.
Right on, Osc.
All right, bruh. Be smooth.
Yeah.
Can you take me to my grandma's house
real quick to get changed?
Yeah.
What kind of cake you get?
Carrot cake.
Why you ain't get ice cream?
'Cause it ain't your birthday.
You know, it'd be hella easier
if you had your stuff at my spot, right?
Why don't you just move in?
Maybe when you stop blowing trees
in the car before we pick up T.
Can you roll down the window, please?
Hey T! T! Come here.
- Daddy!
- Hey, what's up, nugget?
Hey, what's up, girl?
How you doin'?
- Good.
- Good?
We played freeze tag today.
Really? Did you win?
- They couldn't catch me.
- Think you fast, huh?
Think you're faster than Daddy?
Mm. Really?
What's that?
Hey!
Undefeated! Undefeated!
You still haven't beaten me yet.
You know that, right?
- Eh.
- Eh.
- What are you doing?
- What do you mean?
- You're going to break this car!
- It'll be all right.
- It's already falling apart.
- I can't lose. Undefeated.
Daddy's 100 and 0.
Big, big, big cheater.
You're a cheater.
I didn't cheat.
How do you know if I cheated or not?
You were sitting in the car.
T, Mommy's a hater.
- Grandma?
- Yes?
Can you watch T tonight?
We want to go to 'Frisco.
Ask your sister.
But Rose got hella kids to watch.
But what's the difference
between watching six kids
or watching seven kids?
- S.
- S.
Daddy, what's that on your shirt?
Daddy had an accident at work.
How is work, by the way?
Work is... work.
I'll be back.
What you think?
It's cool.
Put a shirt on the bed
for you, if you want.
Right on.
Are you all right?
Osc... What's up?
Hm?
Fuck it. I lost my job.
For what?
Being late.
Last couple of days,
trying to get some money.
And they told you today?
On your day off?
Can I keep it real?
They told me two weeks ago.
My bad, Phina.
I thought I was gonna get my job back...
You think life's a fucking joke?
You think you're gonna get fired
and somebody's gonna
give you your job back?
What? What game you running now, Osc?
You ain't shit, you know that?
You lie to me, you lie
to your fucking daughter...
I ain't had to tell your ass nothing.
Food on the table, the lights still on.
I could've kept getting it,
you wouldn't have known shit.
Oh, so you would've just kept faking?
And been out there bustin' knocks,
and doing whatever else,
or whoever else...
You say you want the truth, right?
You ain't even tryin' to hear me.
You ain't even trying to hear it.
You ain't even listening to me.
Not after you lie for two weeks,
get cornered, and don't have a choice.
That's some pussy-ass shit.
What'd you do today? Huh?
I bet you sold that fucking zip.
I dumped that shit, Phina.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
I'm tired.
Thought I could start over fresh, but...
...shit ain't workin' out.
You threw a whole zip of weed out
and you don't got a job?
I could slap you right now.
What are you gonna do?
Something legal.
Maybe if I could just
not fuck up for 30 days.
That's how long Oprah said
it takes to form a habit, right?
Look at me.
Don't make me have to go
through this shit alone, again.
Get this off. Take it off.
A distinct difference
between "Nah" and "Haa."
Yeah.
Hey, you guys are just in time!
Happy birthday!
Oh, you guys got me a cake, too?
- Yup. Happy birthday.
- Thank you, baby.
Smells good in here.
Here you go.
Look at you...
Hey Grandma.
What's smelling so good?
Oh, Osc...
Baby, you know I only needed two.
You didn't have to spend so much money.
Mama, you don't gotta worry about that.
- Oh...
- OK.
- What's up?
- We're up to no good...
- How you guys doing?
- How you doin', Oscar?
What's going on, Oscar?
- Nothin', hangin' out.
- Yeah?
Get some food. I'm hungry.
Uh-oh, what you got?
Mom's card.
Tay wanted me to go pick her up one.
- There you go.
- Appreciate that.
She's gonna flip out over this one.
- Oh, come on, now.
- That's Chantay there.
We got stuff comin' in.
You want to put it in...
You can't dump it!
No, that's what she told me
when I was this size.
"You can't dump it!"
You know, T,
when your daddy was your size,
just your age, he used to do this
with me and grandma.
Yes, he did, but he didn't do
it nearly as well as you're doing it.
No, he did not. I had to re-crack
everything he cracked.
Sophina, you are in love, honey.
- I am.
- 'Cause he was not a great try.
Who you think gonna win the Super Bowl?
- The Steelers.
- Steelers?
- Yeah, the Steelers. Yeah.
- What?
A Raiders fan cheerin'
for the Steelers.
Yes, a Raiders fan
cheerin' for the Steelers.
Black uniforms,
black players, black coach.
Coach even has a black wife.
I'm going for the Steelers.
You insane!
I know I'm insane.
You know I'm insane?
- It's ready.
- All good!
You ain't goin' to serve us?
I didn't serve you
your whole life, Cephus.
OK, get us somethin' to eat!
Doin' my food dance.
Where my table tray, Wanda?
I got your table tray
at your house, Daryl.
Oh, Cephus, that was you?
That was Cephus,
you know that wasn't me...
I'm sorry, Daryl. I'm sorry.
Here you are, sweetheart. There you go.
You want a little more crab?
I'm good.
Oh, thanks. Thanks.
- None of that.
- All right, you all.
All right, everybody.
Oh, Heavenly Father,
we thank you for having
our family together tonight.
We are blessed that Grandma Bonnie
made her famous gumbo.
In your name, let's feast. Amen.
Amen.
- Happy birthday, Mama.
- Best birthday present.
Thanks for your help tonight.
Come on, Mama.
You ain't got to thank me.
I shouldn't even be letting you do this.
Oh, please. It's relaxing.
Yeah, if you say so.
I say so.
You guys got plans for the night?
Yeah, nothing major though.
Meet up with the fellas,
head out to the city.
You guys going out, out? Or...
I think we're just gonna be low-key.
Catch the fireworks, probably
roll around a little bit after that.
Roll around?
It's gonna be cool, though.
Chill. Plus, Phina's gotta get up
and go to work in the morning anyway.
You guys gonna be drinking?
Mama, they gonna be drinking.
I haven't had a drink since...
- I can't even remember.
- Mm.
Why don't you take the train out there.
That way you guys can drink and hang out
and not have to worry about anything.
Nah, I feel like getting
over there and getting back.
- Not waiting on no train.
- No traffic, either.
You know? You know it's gonna be crazy,
going and coming back.
Yeah, we might take it.
Don't make me follow
you guys to make sure.
Remember prom?
Trying to forget.
We gotta go. We're gonna go, OK?
Honey, thank you.
You good?
- Let me get my stuff.
- Did you say goodbye?
Come here.
- We're outta here.
- I love you.
- All right, now.
- Don't get up, don't get up.
All right, so you going out.
All right, have fun.
Happy New Year.
All right, all right.
- Love you.
- Love you, too.
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you, baby.
- Come here.
- Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Let's just call it a night.
I'm going out.
I don't know what you're doing,
but I want to go into 'Frisco.
We can just watch
the countdown from the house.
Mm-mm.
Let's go out. I wanna have fun.
Get drunk.
All right.
- We'll go to the city.
- Yeah?
Yeah.
- Happy New Year!

Oh no! You guys are so strong!
Hi, happy New Year.

- You win, you win!
Go to bed. Come on.
Ready to go brush those teeth?

'Cause if you don't,
your teeth is going to rot
and your breath's going
to start smelling like gumbo.
- You want that?
- Yes.
- No, you don't.
- Yes.
'Cause then the Gumbo Monster
will get you!
Daddy! Stop!
Go on.
You had gumbo, too.
Get those chompers in the back.
Mm-hm.
Ahh!
Down low.
You almost got me.
- Ouchie!
- Come on.
My feet hurt.
We're getting ready to take off, OK?
You guys aren't going
to sleep over, too?
We already promised our friends
we was going to kick it
with them tonight.
But we'll be back before
you wake up though, OK?
No! Don't go.
I'm scared.
Scared of what?
I hear guns outside.
You know what, baby?
Those is firecrackers.
You're safe inside with your cousins.
What about you, Daddy?
Me?
Baby, I'm gonna be fine.
I'll tell you what, though.
When you wake up in the morning,
we're gonna play Candy Land.
And then guess what
we're gonna do after that.
- Go to the park?
- Better.
Toys"R"Us?
Way better than that.
Why?
I don't know, maybe... Chuck E. Cheese?
- Really?
- I promise.
Daddy's gonna give you hecka tokens
and we gonna play all the games, OK?
And then we're gonna get
your favorite pizza,
and we'll eat it all up.
Even Mommy's
'cause she can't have carbs.
What's a carb?
You ain't got to worry
about that right now.
I love you.
I love you, too, Daddy.
- Sonja... Nigga, I passed...

I passed her on to you.

He's on a breathing machine right now.
So, his breathing is stable.
The main problem
is the internal bleeding.
Damn...
Now, we've had some difficulty
stopping the bleeding,
and getting his blood to clot.
He hasn't fully responded
to the transfusions yet.
But he's gonna make it, right?

Dark... What's dark butter?
I'm thinking maybe she watched
Food Network or something.
I said, "Sweetheart,
what's dark butter?"
And she said, "Well, when my daddy
took me to see Wall-E,
he asked for light butter.
So now I want to try some
dark butter this time."
- She too smart...
- This Moms right here?
- She a snitch, too?
- What the fuck you say about my moms?
- Fuck you and this bitch.
- Talking tough with these guards.
I'm gonna see your bitch-ass
on the outside.
- Bitch-ass Palma Ceia nigger.
- Bitch-ass motherfucker.
- Oscar...
- Fuck DGF!
- Is there a problem in here?
- Oh, fuck you!
- Is there a problem here?
- No, we good.
Yeah, we good for now.
Yeah.
Yeah, fucked up...
Calm down.
Oscar.
What happened to your face?
Dark butter...
She always listenin'.
Too damn smart for her own good.
Pre-school said, we should think about
starting her in school early...
Phina tell you that?
Yeah, we'll put her in private school.
Uniforms.
I was looking at Saint B the other day,
and they got this new thing where
they start 'em off speaking Spanish,
- then they put them back on English...
- I'm not coming here anymore.
What?
I'm not coming here
for these visits anymore.
- This is my last time.
- I know, I know...
I know, this is
the last time for me, too.
I told you that.
I ain't going down no more.
You wanna keep putting Sophina through
this, then you go right ahead, OK?
But Tatiana? That baby
doesn't deserve this, Oscar.
She's too young to know what's going on.
So I guess that's why
she asked me why you love
taking your vacations more
than you like being with her.
- She ain't say that.
- Oh, so I'm a liar now.
Ma, you got to tell her I love her.
- Tell her I...
- Tell her yourself.
The next time you call home,
you tell her yourself.
Or better yet,
let her come visit you here.
Yeah, but I...
She don't need to be exposed...
You already exposed her...
- You already exposed her to this.
- So what, you gonna leave me?
You gonna leave me again?
What kind of mom is you?
You gonna fuck around
and leave me in here?
You ain't never had
my fuckin' back anyway.
I'm in here by myself.
- I love you, Oscar.
- You don't love nothin'.
I do.
And I'm praying for you.
I'll see you when you get home.
Hey Ma, hold up. Let me get a hug, Ma?
Grant,back to the visiting area.
Hey Ma, I'm sorry!
Get the fuck out of here!
Ma, I'm sorry! At least get a hug!
Ma, let me just get a hug!
Hey Ma, I'm sorry!
Get the fuck off me!
Get the fuck off me!
Hey Ma, I'm sorry!
Ma, I'm sorry!
Get the fuck off me!
Get the fuck off me, bruh!
Hey, Ma...!
Shit, bruh. I didn't think
we was ever going to hook up.
- What's good?
- I'm smooth.
I got good news
and bad news, though, my nig.
Don't tell me you ain't got it.
- Sold it to a white boy.
- For real? For how much?
Gave me a rack for it.
I wasn't gonna pay that high.
I still need it, though. What's good?
For the drive up?
Right on, Osc.
No, you're good, bruh.
- You sure?
- Take it.
Right on.
Burn one with your boy
right quick, though.
Nah, it's all you, bruh.
Right on, Osc.
All right, bruh. Be smooth.
Yeah.
Can you take me to my grandma's house
real quick to get changed?
Yeah.
What kind of cake you get?
Carrot cake.
Why you ain't get ice cream?
'Cause it ain't your birthday.
You know, it'd be hella easier
if you had your stuff at my spot, right?
Why don't you just move in?
Maybe when you stop blowing trees
in the car before we pick up T.
Can you roll down the window, please?
Hey T! T! Come here.
- Daddy!
- Hey, what's up, nugget?
Hey, what's up, girl?
How you doin'?
- Good.
- Good?
We played freeze tag today.
Really? Did you win?
- They couldn't catch me.
- Think you fast, huh?
Think you're faster than Daddy?
Mm. Really?
What's that?
Hey!
Undefeated! Undefeated!
You still haven't beaten me yet.
You know that, right?
- Eh.
- Eh.
- What are you doing?
- What do you mean?
- You're going to break this car!
- It'll be all right.
- It's already falling apart.
- I can't lose. Undefeated.
Daddy's 100 and 0.
Big, big, big cheater.
You're a cheater.
I didn't cheat.
How do you know if I cheated or not?
You were sitting in the car.
T, Mommy's a hater.
- Grandma?
- Yes?
Can you watch T tonight?
We want to go to 'Frisco.
Ask your sister.
But Rose got hella kids to watch.
But what's the difference
between watching six kids
or watching seven kids?
- S.
- S.
Daddy, what's that on your shirt?
Daddy had an accident at work.
How is work, by the way?
Work is... work.
I'll be back.
What you think?
It's cool.
Put a shirt on the bed
for you, if you want.
Right on.
Are you all right?
Osc... What's up?
Hm?
Fuck it. I lost my job.
For what?
Being late.
Last couple of days,
trying to get some money.
And they told you today?
On your day off?
Can I keep it real?
They told me two weeks ago.
My bad, Phina.
I thought I was gonna get my job back...
You think life's a fucking joke?
You think you're gonna get fired
and somebody's gonna
give you your job back?
What? What game you running now, Osc?
You ain't shit, you know that?
You lie to me, you lie
to your fucking daughter...
I ain't had to tell your ass nothing.
Food on the table, the lights still on.
I could've kept getting it,
you wouldn't have known shit.
Oh, so you would've just kept faking?
And been out there bustin' knocks,
and doing whatever else,
or whoever else...
You say you want the truth, right?
You ain't even tryin' to hear me.
You ain't even trying to hear it.
You ain't even listening to me.
Not after you lie for two weeks,
get cornered, and don't have a choice.
That's some pussy-ass shit.
What'd you do today? Huh?
I bet you sold that fucking zip.
I dumped that shit, Phina.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
I'm tired.
Thought I could start over fresh, but...
...shit ain't workin' out.
You threw a whole zip of weed out
and you don't got a job?
I could slap you right now.
What are you gonna do?
Something legal.
Maybe if I could just
not fuck up for 30 days.
That's how long Oprah said
it takes to form a habit, right?
Look at me.
Don't make me have to go
through this shit alone, again.
Get this off. Take it off.
A distinct difference
between "Nah" and "Haa."
Yeah.
Hey, you guys are just in time!
Happy birthday!
Oh, you guys got me a cake, too?
- Yup. Happy birthday.
- Thank you, baby.
Smells good in here.
Here you go.
Look at you...
Hey Grandma.
What's smelling so good?
Oh, Osc...
Baby, you know I only needed two.
You didn't have to spend so much money.
Mama, you don't gotta worry about that.
- Oh...
- OK.
- What's up?
- We're up to no good...
- How you guys doing?
- How you doin', Oscar?
What's going on, Oscar?
- Nothin', hangin' out.
- Yeah?
Get some food. I'm hungry.
Uh-oh, what you got?
Mom's card.
Tay wanted me to go pick her up one.
- There you go.
- Appreciate that.
She's gonna flip out over this one.
- Oh, come on, now.
- That's Chantay there.
We got stuff comin' in.
You want to put it in...
You can't dump it!
No, that's what she told me
when I was this size.
"You can't dump it!"
You know, T,
when your daddy was your size,
just your age, he used to do this
with me and grandma.
Yes, he did, but he didn't do
it nearly as well as you're doing it.
No, he did not. I had to re-crack
everything he cracked.
Sophina, you are in love, honey.
- I am.
- 'Cause he was not a great try.
Who you think gonna win the Super Bowl?
- The Steelers.
- Steelers?
- Yeah, the Steelers. Yeah.
- What?
A Raiders fan cheerin'
for the Steelers.
Yes, a Raiders fan
cheerin' for the Steelers.
Black uniforms,
black players, black coach.
Coach even has a black wife.
I'm going for the Steelers.
You insane!
I know I'm insane.
You know I'm insane?
- It's ready.
- All good!
You ain't goin' to serve us?
I didn't serve you
your whole life, Cephus.
OK, get us somethin' to eat!
Doin' my food dance.
Where my table tray, Wanda?
I got your table tray
at your house, Daryl.
Oh, Cephus, that was you?
That was Cephus,
you know that wasn't me...
I'm sorry, Daryl. I'm sorry.
Here you are, sweetheart. There you go.
You want a little more crab?
I'm good.
Oh, thanks. Thanks.
- None of that.
- All right, you all.
All right, everybody.
Oh, Heavenly Father,
we thank you for having
our family together tonight.
We are blessed that Grandma Bonnie
made her famous gumbo.
In your name, let's feast. Amen.
Amen.
- Happy birthday, Mama.
- Best birthday present.
Thanks for your help tonight.
Come on, Mama.
You ain't got to thank me.
I shouldn't even be letting you do this.
Oh, please. It's relaxing.
Yeah, if you say so.
I say so.
You guys got plans for the night?
Yeah, nothing major though.
Meet up with the fellas,
head out to the city.
You guys going out, out? Or...
I think we're just gonna be low-key.
Catch the fireworks, probably
roll around a little bit after that.
Roll around?
It's gonna be cool, though.
Chill. Plus, Phina's gotta get up
and go to work in the morning anyway.
You guys gonna be drinking?
Mama, they gonna be drinking.
I haven't had a drink since...
- I can't even remember.
- Mm.
Why don't you take the train out there.
That way you guys can drink and hang out
and not have to worry about anything.
Nah, I feel like getting
over there and getting back.
- Not waiting on no train.
- No traffic, either.
You know? You know it's gonna be crazy,
going and coming back.
Yeah, we might take it.
Don't make me follow
you guys to make sure.
Remember prom?
Trying to forget.
We gotta go. We're gonna go, OK?
Honey, thank you.
You good?
- Let me get my stuff.

Come here.

Happy New Year.
Let's just call it a night.
I'm going out.
I don't know what you're doing,
but I want to go into 'Frisco.
We can just watch
the countdown from the house.
Mm-mm.
Let's go out. I wanna have fun.
Get drunk.

Go to bed. Come on.
Ready to go brush those teeth?

'Cause if you don't,
your teeth is going to rot
and your breath's going

'Cause then the Gumbo Monster

My feet hurt.
We're getting ready to take off, OK?
You guys aren't going

We already promised our friends

But we'll be back before
you wake up though, OK?
No! Don't go.
I'm scared.
Scared of what?
I hear guns outside.
You know what, baby?
Those is firecrackers.
You're safe inside with your cousins.
What about you, Daddy?
Me?
Baby, I'm gonna be fine.
I'll tell you what, though.
When you wake up in the morning,
we're gonna play Candy Land.
And then guess what
we're gonna do after that.
- Go to the park?
- Better.
Toys"R"Us?
Way better than that.
Why?
I don't know, maybe... Chuck E. Cheese?
- Really?
- I promise.
Daddy's gonna give you hecka tokens
and we gonna play all the games, OK?
And then we're gonna get
your favorite pizza,
and we'll eat it all up.
Even Mommy's
'cause she can't have carbs.
What's a carb?
You ain't got to worry
about that right now.
I love you.
I love you, too, Daddy.

We ain't tryin' to go to jail,

We just tryin' to get home.
We just tryin' to get home...
Maybe you should've thought about that,
before you started acting
like a punk-ass bitch.
Don't call my partner no bitch.
You's a bitch-ass nigger, for real.
Did you call me a "bitch-ass nigger"?

The police, they got Oscar and them.
I heard something and I don't know
if it was a beanbag...
Sophina, honey, calm down.
I can't hear you.
- Is Oscar there with you?
- No, he's upstairs with the police.
But we're downstairs

I don't know, but I think so, Wanda.
OK, I'm gonna call you back.

Hey, we gotta keep him positive.
We gotta let these people do their jobs.
He's gonna be fine.
Let's put all our energy
towards Oscar right now.
I know y'all are upset,
but we got to lift him up.
Let's keep him lifted up.

- I feel, I feel weird...
- Come on man, calm down.
Y'all heard Mom.
- Ms. Johnson?
- Yes?
- The doctor's going to speak to you.
- How is he?
Ms. Johnson, as you know,
your son's been shot.
Now, we stabilized him,
but he's critical.
Critical, what is that?
Well, he has massive internal bleeding,
and we had to remove the right lung.
His lung? How...
how's he going to be able to breathe?
He's on a breathing machine right now.
So, his breathing is stable.
The main problem
is the internal bleeding.
Damn...
Now, we've had some difficulty
stopping the bleeding,
and getting his blood to clot.
He hasn't fully responded
to the transfusions yet.
But he's gonna make it, right?
He's gonna make it?
I promise you we're going to do
everything possible...
Hey! Hey!

Please do what you can.

Bring him out, man. Bring Osc out.
We gotta lift him up, y'all.

Y'all know he's a fighter, man.
