And the doctor told me,
"James, you'll never walk again
in your life."
I said, "Man, get the fuck out of here.
"You're full of shit.
I'm gonna walk."
But... I went to therapy,
and everything I had to do, I did,
to try to walk on my own.
And I'd be damned if that doctor wasn't right.
I never walked since that day.
And that hurts me by being a quad.
But... life, it is what it is.
Life is wonderful.
Life is beautiful.
I love life.
You can't fool me.
I love... I love everything about life,
even the ducks, the chickens, the rats.
Love... Love conquers all.
That's just my belief.
And when you have love,
you got everything, in my life.
But I went a long time without love.
And I've been the lonely one.
I call myself "the lonely one."
And I say that for a reason,
because have to reach out so hard
to get friends, but they're not right.
And you know they're not right.
And God does not like ugly.
You got to deal with people that's on your level,
not on their level...
you know.
Grandpa.
You're going to be late. You're going to be late.
You have to be on the bus at 7:45.
You're going to be late.
I heard you. Stop yelling.
You have to get on the bus.
We were welcomed by a foreign land
That gave us love, a helping hand
Your native land was ravaged By a killing spree
And here, everyone is free
- Abandoned us despite her will to live! - I gotta go.
I gotta go. I gotta go. I'm gonna be late for work.
America! Your newly found home!
You're gonna be late. Grandpa!
Love!
We were welcomed by a foreign land
That gave us love, a helping hand...
No... No cooking, okay?
No cooking. No cooking.
7:45, Lilya's funeral.
You cannot miss it. Okay?
Abandoned us despite her will to...?
To live.
Fate played a cruel joke on you.
When one loves a woman, one loves everything about her...
the way she walks, the way she talks,
the way she laughs, the way she eats...
Everything.
That was love with Lilya?
Love...
Everything is just beginning...
The van is at 7:45.
Don't be late.
What?
- Now, come on, man, what the fuck? - Just help me.
You know, now you're gonna make me... You're gonna make me late now.
- All right, this shirt. - I need to brush my teeth.
Okay, you got it. Where are your pants?
The hamper in the closet.
Here's your brush.
Hey, can you hand me that?
Yeah. You know what, fuck it. We'll wash it later.
We don't have time for you to brush your teeth now.
- You really gotta do something about this. - About what?
When was the last time you used that elliptical?
Fuck off, man. I did weights last night.
- Yeah, I can see that. - Just help me already.
I'm working on it. You're gonna make me late for work now.
Let's get your walker.
- All right... - Help me with these pants.
Yeah, yeah, I got you.
Okay. You good?
Let's go. Let's get you out of here.
- All right. - Come on.
- Come on, come on, come on, come on. - Yeah, I'm comin', I'm comin'.
This is ridiculous. I can't do this for you all the time.
And we are out of here.
You're not gonna head to the west side today, do you?
I don't know.
You didn't see that shit on the news last night?
- All right... - Chirpin', man. They're...
Goddamn it, man. What, did you take those dumbbells to go?
Hey, man, I just lost 90 pounds in the hospital, okay?
Come on.
Let's get your hat back on.
- So you look pretty. - Yeah.
Let's go.
They burned some houses down last night.
- In where? - The west side, man.
That's all they do in this country is protest.
Nobody's happy anymore.
They're fucking upset about everything, you know.
We live in the United States and they're unhappy.
You know, we live in the land of the free
and they're fucking mad all the time.
People got the most freedom of anywhere.
The police had to call in the SWAT.
Everyone's got some kind of problem with something.
Nothing, nothing is right.
Everyone's upset, they're fucking mad.
All they want to do is fucking protest.
Fucking protesters, they're never fucking happy.
I mean, fucking look at me.
I've got things I could fucking bitch about.
Fucking whine.
I fucking can't walk.
I got to take four shots of insulin a day.
You hear me bitchin' and complainin'? No.
It's just so unrealistic that these people are so unhappy.
Just live life already. Stop complaining so fucking much.
I just don't get it, man.
So glad I can't see these people.
- I would be so angry. - All right...
You know, I've been goin' through so much shit, man,
since my dad died in '03.
And nothin' but bad luck, man.
No money. My father died.
He had a heart attack.
I got that call in the middle of the night.
And this was way back in '03, and broke my heart.
Then I lost my fuckin' eye sight.
Then I broke my leg.
Hi, Vic. How you doin'?
- Heard you're going to in the talent show. - Yes, I am.
- Know what you're gonna be singin'? - "Rock Around the Clock."
"I Want to Hold Your Hand" from The Beatles.
Oh, yeah? I love The Beatles.
- Absolutely killer. - She was named after The Beatles.
Really?
And her brother was named after a soap opera.
Really? Which one?
Days of Our Lives. Alex Marshall.
Your boyfriend's gonna be in the show?
Her boyfriend sings like Elvis.
Well, is he gonna help you out in the talent show?
Uh, I'm gonna see him at the concert.
I don't know. I think you need a new boyfriend.
I don't know about that.
- How you doing today? - I'm doing good.
How you doing?
Can't complain.
So, uh, you're a big Elvis fan?
- Yeah. And Michael Jackson. - Yeah...
It's gonna be out front with you, Michelle, Okay?
Okay.
Put your seat belt on.
I hate Elvis.
I went to Graceland.
You know what I hate more than Elvis though?
- Hmm? - Impersonators.
Why do they spend their whole life trying to be Elvis
- when... they can't? - I don't know.
Yeah, I really just,
I just don't like his music and all.
Then you got these people who dress like him,
try to sound like him.
They devote their whole life to being Elvis.
I just listen to his music.
I just don't like the guy.
To listen to Elvis, he just doesn't do it for me.
In high school, there was this guy that looked like Cliff Clavin.
And I let him know every day that he looked like Cliff Clavin,
and he called me an asshole.
His dad looks like Cliff Clavin too.
Yeah, my fishes and I go way back.
I came here one time, and I was in a fit of rage,
and I had... I just had to eat it.
- You're comin' to pick me up, aren't you? - No.
How am I gonna get home? I don't have any rides left.
Dude, I don't know. I'm gonna be at work all day.
You gotta pick me up, all right? I have no way to get home.
Just give me a call later today and we'll see what happens.
- Make sure you come get me, man. - d One o'clock... d
Give me a call later and we'll work something out.
- d Gonna rock around the clock tonight d - Be there in 10 minutes.
Vic, are we gonna be late?
Yeah, I'm... I'm on my way.
Just give me another ten minutes and I'll be there shortly.
Are we gonna be late for the talent show?
Vic, I can't miss the talent show.
I can't miss it.
You guys are still here?
The van never came. I called it in.
She's all alone there. Who will bury her? Call them! Call them!
I don't know. They should be here any minute.
She's at the cemetery all by herself!
LILYA-#702 - FUNERAL - TODAY
We're better off getting there on foot.
They'll bury us with her if we do.
What floor?
Seven-oh-two.
Lilya.
- You going to the funeral? - Funeral? What funeral?
Lilya's funeral.
My aunt, 702? Lilya?
Lilya? Man, what funeral?
Yeah, she died like a couple days ago.
But how? We talked like three days ago.
- On the phone. - I'm sorry.
- What happened, man? - I don't know. I'm sorry.
Floor six.
But Lilya's my aunt.
You know you're not supposed to be cooking by yourself, right?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. - I got him.
He came asking for salt, and got himself locked out.
Do you still need salt?
How many times did I tell you? You cannot cook without me home.
Look what you did!
They're gonna get you evicted over this. Where are we gonna live?
They should evict him before he burns us all down.
It's a little bit burnt, right?
- A little burnt, right? - Smells good, Grandpa!
It's hot in here.
I need to finish the chicken.
Trust me, it's finished, Grandpa.
The USSR circus in action!
Let me show you my set.
One! Two! Ten times.
And like this...
Show me this one.
Punch me in the head, come on! Straight in the face!
The face!
- Good job! You're the best! - You ain't seen nothing yet!
Watch.
Grandpa, what did you burn?
Whatever...
- Which pair? - This one.
- Cajun style! - Yoga!
I sit like this, and not a single care about anything.
Put your pants on, Grandpa.
Grandpa, come on, get dressed, we got to go.
- Grandpa, the shirt... - Got a side dish for the chicken?
Sauerkraut! Awesome! Damn, you sealed it, Grandpa.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
You're some guy, Grandpa.
- You ain't seen nothing yet! - One, two, three.
My pants are falling down.
What is this? Baseball bat?
I thought it must be big. You know?
That's his meat tenderizer slash nut cracker.
Never in my life, understood this fucking game.
- Pitcher. - Huh?
Whoo! Throw it.
Up in the air...
Whoo!
My jacket!
- The flowers... - So cool.
Nice apartment. You both live here?
My poems...
The flowers. Let's go.
You son of a...
I got to go to work, okay?
Vic? Vic?
Vic, please help us.
She's all alone there, poor thing.
I can't, I'm already late for work. I got clients.
It's a two-minute ride. It'll take no time at all.
Like I said, I got clients waiting, I'm already late for work.
It's only five, ten minutes.
It's a good deed before God, it's a mitzvah.
Let's call a cab.
Are you crazy? You see how many of us there are?
Cabs are cheap here!
Be a mensch, Vic!
We have to bury my auntie, man.
We are all she has.
David, talk to your grandson.
Victor, you've got to help.
Do it.
Do it the Russian way, the good way.
"What Russian doesn't like fast driving?"
- Are you coming with us? - Yep.
- And who are you? - I'm Lilya's nephew.
Lilya had a nephew?
- You don't see the resemblance? - No, we don't.
It's 'cause they had different dads.
A nephew? That's news.
We thought she had no family.
Big age difference, my dad and Aunt Lilya.
Different dads, same mother.
Revolutions, wars, you know how it goes.
My name's Dima, from Brooklyn.
- And what are you doing here? - Lilya, my aunt.
- So you're coming with us then? - Yep.
Yeah, I know. I'm on my way. Ten minutes, tops. I'll be right there.
You're 30 minutes late. How much longer?
I'm on my way. I'll be there in ten minutes.
There were shootings here just last night.
They were setting things on fire, rioting.
What happened here, man?
This is a black part of town.
How people can live here?
They manage to get by somehow.
- It was on the news... riots. - Oh, that sucks.
A very bad part of town.
Let's get out of here.
We won't ever bury her moving at this pace.
Hey, hold it right there.
What the hell are you doing?
- What's going on? - What does he want?
The road is blocked. There's a protest.
You can't go this way. You're gonna have to go all the way around.
Why are they protesting? What do they want?
There's a protest for a shooting.
There were shootings.
Let's get the hell out of here!
- Bro, I need to take a leak. - Bad timing.
Thank you!
You've got some dope driving skills.
Step on it, step on it!
Fuck.

Where the fuck are you?
What you trying to do to me?
I'm on my way. I'm... I'm driving.
I'll be there soon. Ten minutes, five minutes?
- I'm not sure, but soon! - Vic, how much longer?
Two hours of cruising...
Roads like in Russia!
We're elderly people. We're tired.
Oh, no, I can't fuckin' pull over right now.
The roads are blocked off. Please, come on, I don't need you on my ass.
Just give me ten minutes. Ten minutes tops.
Where did you find this road?
Attaboy.
Dammit. I'm sick and tired of calling you. Where are you?
The roads are blocked off.
What do you want me to do? I'm doing my best here.
I can't cover your back all the time.

But are they supposed to be on this van?
Hi, I'm calling to report a situation.
He's got a whole bunch of people on this van right now.
It's fuckin' insane.
And then he had the nerve to say that he droppin' them off first.
I'm not bullshitting you. She made me drag her mattress

Why the fuck did you do that?
Hey! Hey, what the fuck? What'd you do that for?

But that's cute. That's real cute.
- Sorry, Steve. - Two minutes.
I didn't know this was going to happen.
I didn't know.
I didn't mean it.
We scheduled this without these people.
Have you ever seen these people on the van before?
Please know that I still have to get off here.
Cool beans. Don't even.
As long as I get off of this van, it's all that matters.
Go ahead. I hope you guys have a good day.

Go to the passenger door. It's unlocked.

Okay, so before we forget, I have this box.

Hey, can you hold onto this please?

Okay, be careful 'cause it's sharp.
I don't want you to get hurt.
Oh, gosh, Steve.

And they cut his head.

You smile, I see you.
You smile. Hollywood smile.
We've got to be with Lilya.
You don't know that.
She's all alone at the cemetery.
- I'm going as fast as I can. - They'll bury her without us!
I said I'm doing my best!
We need to be with her!
Her life was an endless trial, and no break in death either.
They're the only way that we can get to where we have to go.
He just messed up your appointment because of these people back here.
They're not even supposed to be here.
I know, I know. I go off a lot of times,
but it's only because I know the kind of position we're in.

I love black people. Steve, do you like Tyson?
You like boxing? You boxing? Yes?

I can't just get up in the middle of the day
and leave work, all right? I just can't do it.
I'm gonna have to get you off real quick.
Get me off? For what?
They're here for the funeral.
I really got to get you off in order to get them off the bus.
Absolutely not. Not happening.
Please, come on. You'd be doing me and them a huge favor.
- No. - Please, I'm begging you.
They... They can't miss this funeral.

- Oh, my God. - Oh, my God.
Chair can't even take this terrain.
Oh. Oh.
Damn it.
Oh, no.
Look, they buried her without us!
We knew this would happen!
Why? You didn't...
What the fuck?
Alone she lived, alone she died.
Can't expect us to wait all day.
They buried her!
No, you keep that.
Set the flowers down, everyone.
Take it, come on.
Excuse me!
Clear a place for the accordion.
Excuse me!
Excuse me! Hello!
I'm stuck. My chair just broke.
- Oh, what happened? - My chair is broken.
It's not moving. No, my chair broke.
Stop, you're gonna make it worse.
What are you doing?
- Stop touching my chair. - Quickly, quickly.
What are you talking about? What are you doing?
What are you doing? Oh, my gosh.
- Hell no. - Lilya was a good woman.
- Hell no. - Quickly. Quickly.
- Are you kidding me? - Come on.
Oh.
Lilya await us.
I don't even know... What is a Lilya?
Lilya was born in the western part of Belarus.
Her small town had Belarusians, Ukrainians and Jews,
and they all lived in peace with each other...
We're freezing. Enough! Some other time.
Let's remember Lilya with her favorite song...
a Belarusian resistance song.
She's a war child from Belarus. This is her song.
I will not sing it!
She loved Russian songs!
Nonsense!
Why can't it be a nice Jewish song?
Quiet, everyone!
Let's not yell.
I said Belarusian! Period!
What is this?
Where's Lilya?
That Lilya?
- Did you dig any other graves today? - Where's my aunt, guys?
We buried one other person right there.
Over here, about 30 minutes ago, and this one here.
Everyone, pick up your flowers and let's move!
What the hell, guys?
This is not Lilya's grave! The next one!
Where? Here?
- I'm not going anywhere! - Right over there.
My legs are in pain! I'm freezing!
- One more time for my sweet Lilya! - What are you doing?
This is my aunt.
Everyone, we're moving to that grave!
Everyone, come back!
Here's the grave! Let's do it!
Let's do one more song for Aunt Lilya!
Should I read again?
Yes, absolutely! Go!
I won't sing it! She loved...
You know, folks around here froze like a motherfucker.
Yes, indeed.
Fuckin' Siberia.
- My grandfather's girlfriend. - Oh, wow.
Oh, thank you.
Well, at least Grandpa still had it.
You better not blow that in my face.
- Help me, please. - We apologize for the inconvenience.
- What, man? - We apologize for the inconvenience.
I am too, man. Cool.
- Good luck, guys! - All right, thanks, guys.
Nice job!
Ooh, fucking Siberia.
Fuckin' Wisconsin.
Ooh. This is cold.
Oh, gosh.
Help me, please. Give me cigarette.
- Cigarette? I can't... - I got it.
Ooh.
Fucking Siberia.
Why Wisconsin? America very big.
Oh, boy.
She spoke and sang in Yiddish.
Belarusians, Russians, Jews, and Poles lived in harmony.
Everyone was friends in that conflict-free zone.
- Now we're getting evicted. - What is it?
Let's go to Lilya's apartment. Lilya's!
It would've made her happy.
Hello? How are you?
How can I help you?
Uh, Dima. 702.
Lilya died.
Buried, you know. Um...
We want to sit at table.
Drink, eat, uh,
talk about Lilya after funeral, you know.
In her apartment, her place.
How can I help you?
We have key, and he's going past place,
- but lock on door, you know. - Yeah, my grandpa burnt...
- the chicken today. - This is no fire. Just chicken.
Chicken, smoke. This is not fire.
- How can I help you? - Can you open the door, please?
No, I cannot open the door. How can I help you?
Ah, whoa, whoa, whoa. Lilya, my aunt, died.
I'm nephew. You can open the door, please?
- In your apartment? - No, I cannot.
You'll have to call the manager's office.
What? Whoa, whoa, whoa. I-I come from Russia.
This is real far. To be with my aunt.
She died.
My only relative.
I orphan.
I'm sorry about your aunt, but I cannot help you.
You'll have to call the manager's office on Monday.
Okay, I understand.

Cool. Thank God.

You will have to wait until Monday when the manager's office open.
Yes, rules are rules.

He defended his wife.

And here, boom, right here.
Yeah. And here, you know.

Mom, I'll take the couch out before the recital.
I'm getting a second line. They need me at the office?
What, they want me to come in now?
- Who is "A"? - Aaron.
- Who is this Aaron? - My boyfriend.
You have boyfriend? You together, you happy?
You... Cool life, yeah?
- No. - What happened?
He was a creep.
I know you. You and me, we're the same.
I think I feel you.
You're like me, you know? I really feel you.
- I know you. - Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
I know you.
The first day I laid my eyes on her, I knew I loved her. I knew it.
And she felt the same way.
I fell in love at first sight.
I've been trying to get in touch with her,
I've been trying my best
to try to just, just hear her voice
to talk to her...
I still love her.
I loved her, man.
Love is blind sometimes, okay.
So what made her so special?
It's the way she treated me,
and it's the way she loved me,
and it's the way she took... the way she cared for me.
And I haven't met a woman since, until now.
Yeah, you still want this cigarette?
Yeah. Thank you.
You got it, man.
d Your life'll never be the same d
So you "sing" sing, but you don't "sing" sing?
No. I'm... You know...
I'm not really, you know.
- I don't really "sing" sing. - Oh, oh, oh, okay.
Kinda like how, you know, I don't really "walk" walk.
You know?
Just like I don't "drive" drive.
Right, exactly.
Kinda like how you're, like, not on time.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Exactly.
Yeah, Ma.
I told you I'm on the way. All right, I'll see you later.
Ma, I can't talk. Can't talk. I gotta go. I gotta go.
Hey, you remember what you were sayin' to that guy?
Somethin' about, like, the records?
Were you makin' that up?
- No, not at all. - You know you can download for free.
I'm well aware that, thank you,
but it's just, it's something about vinyls, you know.
A certain type of quality.
People nowadays, they don't, they don't hear it.
- It's almost like their deaf. - Vinyl? That's like your thing?
That's like what you're into and stuff?
I mean, clearly, 'cause you got a whole box of it just sittin' here.
My sister was just holding onto them.
She's moving right now, and, uh...
You know, I'm movin' out.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm movin' in with my boyfriend.
That's pretty cool.
This chair is broken.
I can't even move around. I ain't movin' no-damn-where.
- I'm sorry about that. - I can't get around my house.
You need to bring the van back to base, now.
They want the van here on the lot.
- Do you copy that? - All right, all right, I'm on my way.
They're gonna call the police and report the van stolen
if it's not here in the next 20 minutes.
Okay, okay. Let me just drop 'em off and I'll be right there.
You need to hurry up and get that van here,
'cause they will report the van stolen.
Damn, man, what's goin' on?
Just some bullshit at work. Fuck it.
Fuck it.
It's fine. Fuck it.
"Fuck it", right, Steve?
Fuck it.
Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it.
They need to go to the grocery store, you.
They have to go to dialysis, you.
They have to get home, it's you.
But if you're 30, 40 fuckin' minutes late,
I can't have that. They can't do what you can do.
That's why you're doing what you're doing.
That's why you have that job.
I give you chance after chance, and all you give me is your ass.
- How you doin'? - Good, good.
- You seen Martin? - Yeah, he's in the break room.
Looks like you fucked up big time this time.
I did everything I could to help you.
- All right. - All right.
I really need this job.
I got way too much bullshit on my mind. I got a grandfather at home...
Nobody gives a shit about your grandfather.
Your grandfather's not my problem. That's your problem.
You're supposed to take care of your grandfather.
I don't think you give a fuck about nobody but yourself.
You care about yourself.
- That's absolutely not true. - Give me my fucking key.
Okay, so when you run late...
- Quinton! - Yes?
He has to take up your slack.
Vic has a lot going on with his grandfather.
And I got a lot going on, too. When that phone rings,
I have to take up your slack.
How can I take up your slack when you're out fucking off?
My problem is to run this company.
My problem is to make sure that you have a job.
If you can't give me what I want, how can I give you what you want?
We are four drivers short for the disco party pickup.
Would you like me to cancel it?
We'll take care of it. Vic!
...grilled feta cheese omelet. Then they brought me soup.
- Then they brought me a cheese steak... - It's your lucky break.
...with fries and onion rings.
Then they brought me, like, some more soup.
Some chicken dumplings. Chicken noodle soup.
They just kept feeding me. What the fuck took you so long?
They kept bringing me food.
Apple pie, man, with ice cream on it.
What do you expect's gonna happen?
I'm never gonna lose weight that way.
But then you leave me in my favorite restaurant.
Six fucking hours. I got a girl, man. You know that?
She's absolutely beautiful.
- How the hell do you know? - Touched her lips, man.
Touched her lips. That's how I see in this world.
She changed my luck, man.
Shit, the other day,
she got me to fucking dance and I can barely stand up.
You know, I've been going through so much shit, man,
since my dad died.
- What is this? What're you doin'? - It's ours, man.
What do you mean, ours? What's ours?
- Try open. - Open what?
- What is this? - It's ours.
Where'd you get this?
It's ours.
I want to know where you got it.

- What do you mean? - Try to open the cabbage, man.
- This? - Open. Try it.
Try it. Try it!
More, try it.
Get up. Get up. Get up.
- No, no. - No what?

Up, lift it, lift it! Come on!
What the fuck are you looking for?
No, other side. Come on.
Lift it.
She's gonna fall.
Higher!
What the fuck are you doing?
Keep it up!
Fucking hurry up!
Oppa, we got it, man.
Come on. Get dressed. I've got to go to work.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
It's my money. My aunt, my money.
I only relative, you know?
I don't get it, who get it?
- Come on. Let's go. - Who get it?
- I'm running late for work already. - Managers.
- Let's go. - I give you share, man.
- Share of what? - We split.
No.
Hello, my darling.
What do you need from the kitchen?
What? Come on, Grandpa. What?
- Grandpa, come on... - Good, good.
All right, let's go. Last one.
- Through the... Go. - Chicken, really?
Yeah, give me... Give me the chicken.
Mwah.

- Come on. - Okay.
Y'all not supposed to be in here.
No luck in love today.
Today, no luck in love.
You guys are not supposed to be here.
Get the hell out of here.
Oh, yeah, you're weak today, motherfucker.
You're really killing me right now, okay?
You just, you have no patience.
You with this... You with this damn couch, Ma.
Give me ten minutes and I'll be right there, okay?
You can't be pressuring me like this...
Dima.
What's going on?
What are you doing?
- Dima. Dima. - Dima.
Always chicken. It's an obsession.
- Oh, smoked fish! - Vic, sit down. Eat something.
I have a recital today. At least stay for the rehearsal.
Talk to me. I never see you.
All I know is that you drive all the time.
We came to America 25 years ago. We did it for our children.
My husband died here. His dad.
There are two of them, him and his sister.
A daughter? How old is she? Married?
She's a young widow.
We've been through so much.
Dima, love, have a positive influence on him.
He's 25 and look at what he does.
His grandpa was a scientist, his dad a famous conductor.
We arrived, with zero English, nada.
Everything is on me.
I've been saving up to help him.
All by myself.
We sacrificed everything... our apartment, our friends, our culture.
What did we do all that for? That was done for his sake.
I never asked you to do anything. I don't know why you did it.
- Be nice to your mother. - We got to take the couch.
Sit down and spend quality time with your mother.
We just ate at the wake! Come on, go, go get the couch.
Wait!
Oy!
Mom, I...
When we were in Prague, my husband bought it.
I'm so sorry.
We were close to concert.
Must be very expensive.
Like the shards of my life!
It was such a wonderful concert.
We took a long walk after the concert.
Right around Kafka's home.
Such a precious memento.
This is a nightmare!
Sit down, Dima.
- Driving this van... - Your daughter, where is she?
She's a nurse. In the black part of town.
Her hands are like his... musician's hands.
Your hands are perfect for cello.
I was torn between cello and boxing!
I'm kidding... 37 fights, I dreamed of the Olympics. I also wanted to box.
Yeah, right, some boxer you'd make.
He should've been a musician... it was in his blood.
- Touch my hand. You see? - What happened?
- Damaged from too much playing. - Yeah.
It hurts terribly when I play. I need surgery.
I've been saving money for you. What money, Mom?
I want you to go to school.
Mom, I'm not going to school. I'm fine, and I don't need your money.
I never asked you to save any money for me. Please. I'm begging you.
- I've saved up enough already. - You shouldn't do that.
All these savings... What's the point of it?
You have no future!
This is a nightmare!
- This damn recital tonight... - Mom, I'm done with this!
Leave me alone, please! I'm begging you!
Push it!
I want the very best for you. I want you to be happy!
I'm happy!
I'm begging you, stop driving that van.
These poor hands... I'm doing this all for you.
I just want you to be happy!
Mom, why is he doing this?
I have a recital tonight, I need space.
He's not a mover.
You're crazy carrying this. You're five months pregnant.
- Three months. - Even worse. You're crazy.
Dima, what the fuck?
- And where am I going to sleep? - With me, in my bed.
Eva! Eva, please. Eva, please!
Where is my glasses? My glasses.
Oh, again, I don't know. Where is my glasses?
My, God. My glasses, my glasses.
Do you have any salt?
Salt?
Let me, let me, let me, let me.
So sorry. So sorry.
I'm such a fool.
Salt cabbage.
Take off your clothes.
Try it on.
Oh, my God.
You look great.
So cool.
Wait, what are you doing?
Dima.
- Dima, where you going? - Mama.
Mama? You can't leave the couch like this.
- This is normal. - I can't...
People sit down, eats, eats, drink beer, this is cool.
Not in America. It's not normal.
Pick up the couch. Don't go inside. Come here.
Where?
Just keep going. I'll tell you.
Left. Left.
Left! Left!
- How long? - 10 miles.
Fuck you.
- Let's leave it here. Enough. - Keep going!
It's a good couch. Why get rid of it?
Is this real true, husband to your sister die?
Yeah.
Left.
When?
Two months ago.
- Why? - Heart attack.
"We are the champions."
America.
Hey, your got your sugar mama yet?
What's up?
Don't you be late now.
I owe you one.
You bet your ass you do.
Talk to me.
That's what I'm here for.
You're just like my son.
I'm talking to you like I would talk to my son.
'Cause I love you, son.
And you're not even my son.
What, you're one of the nicest kids I ever met.
You're respectful,
you're honest,
and you're dependable.
And anything you need to know, you ask me.
And if I don't know, I'll be damned if I don't find out.
To tell you. That's what fathers are for.
When I was your age,
I had plenty of ambition.
Why don't you have any?
Not once have you told me,
"I want to do this."
"I want to do that." "I wanted to be this."
"I wanted to be that." Why?
I'm just asking you a question, man-to-man.
Or father to son.
Like I do my own son.
Can you answer that for me?
I don't know yet. Uh...
I guess I didn't find my purpose yet.
You know, some things you just can't explain.
It just happens.
And when good things happens, you got to grab it
with all you got and try to keep it the best way you can.
I'm telling you the facts, not fiction.
What I know.
I know you're young.
But you're not dumb.
Be yourself.
The most important part about life
is livin'... That's what you know how.
You got the rest of your life
until you die to be something.
'Cause at the end,
it's gonna wind up and something, or nothing?
What do you want out of life?
Man-to-man?
Something or nothing?
Oh, look who it is?
The runaway!
Yeah, sorry about that.
- Ran away, huh? - Can I come in for a second?
- I guess you need Trace, huh? - Yeah.
You can have a sleepover.
Look... Look what you did.
- Yeah, man, sorry about that. - Just ran away on me.
I was really in a rush this morning.
- Yeah, okay. - Hey!
- Hi, how are you? - How are you?
- Sorry to kind of barge in... - Trace!
- ...and intrude in on your dinner. - Oh, hi.
- I just have... - Trace!
- I need Tracy for a minute. - Your ride is here!
- Okay. - I kind of have a surprise for her.
- Your ride! - How about you come join us?
What? I can't, I'm with my grandfather right now.
- Wait. Come here. - I only want to stop by for a moment.
- Bring your grandpa in. - Just put the mattress here.
I'd like to meet him.
Thank you, guys, for having us.
- It is enough. - That's enough?
- Enough, yeah. - All right.
Sorry about earlier, man, I didn't mean to leave you hangin' like that.
Man, it's all, it's all right.
- It's just the thing. - For a first start, it's good.
What's going on with the protest?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, hey, there's the girl!
- Hey, Mama. - Hey.
- They're destroying the city. - Hi, honey.
Why don't you come on in?
- Hey. - Hey.
Actually, I have a little present for you,
I guess, for my fuck up today.
I borrowed it from a friend, temporarily.
At least until you get yours fixed.
So at least we can go to the disco tonight.
- Okay. Well, I mean, I guess that works. - Cool?
- Yeah. - Cool. All right.
- Um, okay. - Here, let me help you get to the chair.
All right. Okay.
Y'all gonna force... Now you're gonna force me to eat?
You don't want to partake... You don't want to participate in my life,
but you want to force me to eat.
This plate is clean?
What's up, man? Get out here.
Where you goin'?
Um... Buckley.
Uh... no, you're not.
Where you goin'?
Now you want to sound interested in my life?
I'm just sayin', there's a lot of shit goin' on in the neighborhood.
Why y'all goin' out at this time of night?
I'm going to the studio, I told you that! Monday through Friday, I go to the studio!
Since when is the studio a job?
That is my job. That is my career.
- That is my focus. - Lay off my nephew.
How is it your career, if you ain't makin' no money?
I am not makin' no money, I'm puttin' money.
- I'm investing. - Be a star.
- That ain't no job. - What do you mean, it's not no job?
- It's not a job. - Tracy, believe in him.
It's your career, but he's not making any money off of it.
- So how is it a career? - That's not work.
It's like this... I don't have support from y'all.
- Right? Nope. - I support you, Nephew.
Oh, you don't have support? No, no, no, no, no, no.
You don't have support, but yet I pay all the bills in here,
and you live under this roof.
So you have all the support, son.
So you have the right to tell me that...
- Absolutely. Absolutely. - I... What you mean?
As long as you live under this roof and I'm paying these bills, absolutely.
- Straight like that? - Yes.
I thought you would be the one who would feel me though.
It's too late for y'all to be goin' out.
KP, where y'all goin'? Where y'all goin' tonight?
And you better keep it 100 with me, you know better.
You know when he with me,
you ain't got to worry about nothing negative.

- Bye. - Nice meetin' you.
So mine says, "He who hurries cannot walk with dignity."
- That's a good one. - Mm-hmm.
So mine says,
"The one good thing about repeating your mistakes
is that you know when to cringe."
I think that makes sense, right?
It does. Somebody ought to know.
"Wisdom comes from experience."
Hey, hey, hey!
- Really. - It sure does.
I asked you to keep on sittin' down
'cause I want, I want to tell you a story, okay?
My kids, they don't know how I am.
They don't understand
why I'm like I am in life.
They don't.
And, you know,
they knew of their father,
but not long enough,
and the thing is, is with their dad,
he... he...
He-he... He was, um...
He was a gambler.
And then after I found out that he was a gambler...
They don't know.
And I don't know. Oh, can I tell him?
Should I tell him?
I was embarrassed.
I was so embarrassed.
I didn't think they would love me no more.
My God...
I'm so sorry.
You know we love you.
"The sure way to predict the future is to invent it."
That is the truth.
Oh, Sis, we love you.
- Roll the paper... - Mm-hmm.
And just grab it right there.
- Grab some tape... - Mm-hmm.
On point of tape, and...
Yeah.
So all you have to do is kind of spin it,
and I'll try to catch the track.
- Okay. - So...
Just spin it like this?
Yeah.
So let's try to get it goin'.
Whoops.
Keep it goin', come on.
- Didn't we just fuck up the record? - Totally.
All kinds of fuckin' up.
Oh, wait, now my hand in the way.
Okay, here we go.
Here, hold my hand right there.
Hey, so, uh, what's up with the sword?
It's a gift for my boyfriend.
Why a sword?
I don't know.
Nice. Very nice.
No. Uh, he collects them, so...
Oh, yeah? He's got a big collection?
Hmm? This is his first one, so...
Does he know he collects them?
Shit, he does now!
- Oh! - Da!
Well, my family cooks chicken.
I'll help.
Plus, I learned to cook chicken with my grandma,
- but not like that. - Yes, you're right.
No. You're taking me back to my childhood.
It smells like fried chicken.
I wish the children of today
had learned to cook with their parents,
- their grandparents, and... - Yes. Yes.
Yes. Heh.
They know nothing about cooking.
Children and food.
Children and food, that's what we need.
- Yes. Yes. - Oh...
We can't move in together because you want to try something new?
I already got boxes packed.
My family knows I'm movin' in with you.
So what are you talkin' about right now?
- They're not gonna kick you out. - I can't go back there.
Don't you understand that? Look at me.
Look at me.
What do you see?
You can't be playin' with people like this!
I want to try something new. I want to get out.
This whole thing doesn't even make sense to me right now!
What are you...?
You are a grown-ass man.
You're on fire!
Vic? Vic, can you take me home?
Can you take me home?
I don't understand anything that you're saying.
Mom, calm down. Mom, calm down.
Please. Please. Calm down.
Okay. I'm on my... I'm on my way home.
I'm on my way home. Bye.
Stop!
Stop, driver! Stop!
- Calm down. - Mom, calm down. Step back.
- Mom, step back! - Get him out!
Get who out?
Get... Get... Clayton's been locked up.
Why you springin' this up on me?
You're bringin' up somethin' on me. What is this?
I ain't always bringing jack up on you.
He was out there with his friends, protesting.
It's a thousand dollars. It's on you.
Why do I have to go get him? I don't have no thousand dollars!
- I don't either. - That's on you!
- Why don't you go get him? - Miss Whoop-Dee-Do that's got her money,
that's gonna be leavin' her family...
- ...that's gonna be leaving us. - Mom, step back so I can talk to you.
'Cause you're not makin' no sense right now.
You have got to go and get your brother.
And that's that.
- Why? - Because I'm cold.
What the fuck? Come back over here.
I'm cold and I'm motherfuckin' sick and tired.
Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom.
Ma. Ma.
Ma. Ma. Ma.
I have a friend who's in trouble, Mom.
That's all you need to know right now.
You need to find $5,000. Can you do that for me?
- I will do but tell me... - Can you do that?
- ...what happened? And for whom? - Mom, I just have a friend in trouble.
I save it for you.
I just need to help somebody, okay?
And you need to help me right now. Can you do that for me?
Mom, please. Please do that for me.
Please, Mom. Will you just go?
- Fine, fine. Please. - But it's a concert. What can we do?
Mom, I really need your help tonight.
Mom, it's for a friend.
Just listen to me. Just trust me. Please.
Please, I need it right now.
I need it. Really, I have a friend who's in trouble. I need...
It's okay.
It's okay. It's an emergency.
Sasha, please help.
- What is it? - Can you do the accompaniment?
- I don't want to. - Please.
We had this conversation before. I won't play.
Please.
I won't play, Mom.
"Nel Cor Piu Non Mi Sento."
Grazie.

Whose streets? Our streets!
Whose streets? Our streets! Whose streets?

You can't get in the building.
Whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, guys.
You big like a mountain. Relax.
Ha, watch. Look. Look at me.
Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

If you do not do so, you will be arrested.
If you refuse to move, chemical agents
and other weapons will be used.
Our streets!
Whose streets? Our streets!
Once again. You will immediately disperse.
If you do not do so, you will be arrested.
If you refuse to move, chemical agents
and other weapons will be used.
Our streets! Whose streets? Our streets!
Whose streets? Our streets!
Yes! Our streets!
Whose streets? Our streets!
You must not interfere with...
How do you do this?
I mean, I just do.
I do what I do just like everybody else does.
I'm not sure even what you're asking.
I mean, what I do ain't different from anybody else.
I do what I want, that's for sure.
I mean, I can go wherever I want.
I can go to Chicago.
Got a bunch of folks in Chi-town, you know?
But I choose to stay here.
May not like it all the time, but it's my choice.
You know?
You know, my mom's a little rough around the edges and stuff,
but who else is gonna take care of her?
That's why I do what I do.
How do you do it?
God got a purpose for everything.
We might not know what it is,
but each and every day, there's a purpose for everything.
At least I think so.
That's just my opinion.
Everything is done for a reason.
Least that's what they say, so...
Who am I to question that, you know?
