00:00:00And you don't stop, and you don't quit.
00:00:25Now I'm the man with the plan, and the b-boy stance, and all the ladies in the jam know who I am, with the power to make it move, when I write a groove, I don't snooze, I kick it off nice and smooth, and when the beat goes down, feet hit the ground, the breakers start spinning all round and round, and everybody don't stop, cause we don't stop, we just rock, you feel it, we don't need those drops.
00:00:55It's the wrong time I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man.

00:08:42while the DJ is scratching like in this egg fight.
00:08:44From the west, the east, the north to the south.
00:08:46When I step into the front, people stand on the couch.
00:08:48Just want to have a good time, but we're going just fine.
00:08:50All I need is 30 seconds, I'm going to rock around.
00:08:52Yeah, brush the down.
00:08:53Saheem, can you introduce me?

00:44:11up
00:44:42Lisa Lisa of Lisa Lisa and the Colt Jam began simply as Lisa, a young Puerto Rican girl who
00:44:50dreamed of being a singing sensation. That dream started to come true in 1985 when the music
00:44:57producer group went looking for a female lead and stumbled across the 16-year-old cinema.
00:45:02In that same year, they renamed the band Lisa Lisa and Colt Jam, producing three top-selling
00:45:08hits which brought the band to platinum status. Both Lisa and the band attribute their success
00:45:16to their streetwise sound. Lisa Lisa has been compared with other top-selling artists such
00:45:23as Debbie Gibson, Paula Abdul, and even Madonna. Their most recently released album is purposefully
00:45:30called Straight to the Top, a place where Lisa Lisa and Colt Jam hope to be for a very long time.
00:45:38Man, I'm glad I ain't got no sisters. Wake up. There they are.
00:45:52Okay, listen. Shaving is like farming. You've got to start with little strokes and go up each
00:45:59side. Like that. I can't believe you never did this before. Don't you have sisters?
00:46:04No. You got me now. Hello? Oh, hey, babe. Of course. I'm in my hotel room. Where else would I be?
00:46:21Oh. All right. I'll be home in two weeks.
00:46:32Okay. I love you.
00:46:47He's going out with his boys again, huh?
00:46:50Yeah.
00:46:53It's the third time this week. I think it's funny how he always wants to know where you're at,
00:46:57but you never ask him where he's going.
00:46:59No need. No need. I trust him.
00:47:03Javi!
00:47:05I'm home!
00:47:16Baby!
00:47:16Baby!
00:47:33Huh?
00:47:36Oh.
00:47:37Oh!
00:47:39I'm...
00:47:42I'm a...
00:47:42You know, if Barry finds out...
00:47:52I know.
00:47:56Are you sure it was positive?
00:47:58Like, does your mom know?
00:48:01What'd she say?
00:48:08She said not to have his child.
00:48:12She said that he reminded her of my dad,
00:48:16and reminded me what a mistake it was to marry him.
00:48:22I don't know.
00:48:27Maybe I loved him because I wanted a man to love me.
00:48:31My father didn't do it.
00:48:33Why don't you ever talk about your family?
00:48:47Ain't nothing to talk about.
00:48:52What do you do when you go back home?
00:48:53Where do you go?
00:48:54I got places.
00:48:58Look, I mean, most kids...
00:49:01Most kids have memories of being a kid.
00:49:05Like, happy memories of love and their parents and family,
00:49:09and...
00:49:10I just don't got that.
00:49:13And I'm okay with it.
00:49:16That's why I enjoy moments like this.
00:49:18Making new memories.
00:49:20Time with you.
00:49:22One of my best friends.
00:49:26One of your best friends?
00:49:27I better be at the top of that very short list.
00:49:30Look, see, that's...
00:49:31Miss Tony.
00:49:32That's why I should have never said nothing.
00:49:35Aw, you call me your best friend.
00:49:36You're so cheesy.
00:49:38That's why I don't open up to people, okay?
00:49:42Seriously, though.
00:49:44What are you gonna do?
00:49:45I can't have a baby.
00:49:51They'll lose everything, Tony.
00:49:53I'm gonna help you.
00:50:03Can you just...
00:50:05Can you just leave me alone for a minute?
00:50:07Hey, but you see Shorty over there?
00:50:35You think I'll get her a little drink?
00:50:38I mean, she look good, but I mean, it's up to you, really.
00:50:41Come on.
00:50:41Yo, what up, Tony?
00:50:42What's up?
00:50:43Damn.
00:50:44Girl, you look busted.
00:50:45Let's go get some sleep.
00:50:47Trying to, man.
00:50:49Needed a little something.
00:50:51How's Lisa?
00:50:52I know she wasn't feeling well.
00:50:53She's good.
00:50:54You sure?
00:50:55Yeah, she's tired.
00:50:56That's all.
00:50:57So I think Javi's on the outs.
00:50:58Thank God.
00:51:00Hated that dude.
00:51:01Yo, what can I get for you?
00:51:03Bartender, let me get, um...
00:51:04Let me get a, let me get a whiskey.
00:51:06Double.
00:51:07Oh, damn.
00:51:09You drink like a dude.
00:51:10Ha, ha, ha.
00:51:15You flirt like one, too.
00:51:26Excuse me, fellas.
00:51:30That's some business to take care of.
00:51:32Oh, no.
00:51:39Come on, come on.
00:51:41Damn.
00:51:43Oh, Mike.
00:51:45Mike, man.
00:51:45She's stealing your girl.
00:51:47Again.
00:51:49I gotta use a baffle.
00:51:51Mary, snap that up.
00:51:53Why am I paying a tab on time?
00:51:56I got it, I guess.
00:51:57I got it, I guess.
00:51:59I got it.
00:52:00I got it.
00:52:00I got it.
00:52:00I got it.
00:52:02I got it.
00:52:06Under the pale moon rising, a minute to midnight.
00:52:11Now, Lisa, it's important that you listen to what I have to say, okay?
00:52:27We just got your results back, and it says that you have ductal carcinoma breast cancer.
00:52:37You'll need to start treatment right away.
00:52:39Have work.
00:52:42No, I have to travel for a few concert dates.
00:52:45I'm afraid that's not possible.
00:52:47If you don't treat it now, the chances of it spreading rapidly increase, limiting the chances of survival.
00:52:56Survival?
00:53:01I can't stop touring.
00:53:04I'll lose everything.
00:53:06Is there someone we can call?
00:53:07No.
00:53:08No one.
00:53:09I mean, no, no, I don't want anyone to know about this.
00:53:14Doctor, can we prepare a travel kit for her to do treatments?
00:53:19Yeah.
00:53:19I can coordinate with the hospitals in the city that she's traveling to, and we can monitor her that way.
00:53:26That works.
00:53:29We can start your treatment tomorrow.
00:53:33A word with you, please.
00:53:42That is my place.
00:53:43Do you understand?
00:53:44I understand.
00:53:45Okay.
00:53:46You can understand.
00:53:47All right?
00:53:48Hey, Mamita.
00:54:01I know.
00:54:05If I stop touring, it all stops.
00:54:08The music, the sponsorships.
00:54:13And I just paid off my mom's car.
00:54:16Her house.
00:54:19You know, I took advancements to...
00:54:21I took advancements to make that happen.
00:54:27And I can't, I can't stop.
00:54:30My mommy, my mommy's just gonna...
00:54:33She was so happy.
00:54:35She was so happy.
00:54:38I can't stop.
00:54:40You understand?
00:54:41I can't stop.
00:54:43We're gonna fix it.
00:54:43We're gonna fix it so that you don't have to stop, okay?
00:54:48You're gonna be okay.
00:54:51You're gonna be okay.
00:54:53We're gonna pray for you.
00:54:55Here, mama.
00:54:56Here, here, take this.
00:54:58Oh, yes.
00:54:58You're gonna be okay.
00:55:08By the way, my daughter, she loves your music.
00:55:12Oh!
00:55:15She does.
00:55:17She looks up to you so much.
00:55:20A lot of little Latinas look up to you.
00:55:22Listen, mama.
00:55:27You got this, okay?
00:55:29You're gonna be okay.
00:55:33You hear me?
00:55:34Hey, come here.
00:55:43We need to have a meeting.
00:55:58I've been looking over at contracts and something seems off.
00:56:02You notice your pay?
00:56:03Uh, yeah.
00:56:04Yeah, it's been a little life.
00:56:06I haven't thought about it.
00:56:07I'm exhausting.
00:56:07Can we talk about it later?
00:56:09Tony said that we should...
00:56:10Tony's not a part of this band.
00:56:14We need to have a conversation between us.
00:56:17And just us, Lisa.
00:56:18I gotta go, Mike.
00:56:20We need to do it soon.
00:56:21Look, I'm sick and tired of this, Alex.
00:56:26Tony.
00:56:27Done.
00:56:29What is this?
00:56:30It's your paycheck.
00:56:32Thought I'd hand delivery.
00:56:33Why?
00:56:34What do you want?
00:56:35You're not one to beat around the bush.
00:56:38Maybe you are.
00:56:39I wanted to ask about your friendship with Lisa.
00:56:43What am I friendship?
00:56:44The reporter was prying the other day, assuming she's a lesbian.
00:56:47You know, I corrected her, of course, but...
00:56:50Having those kinds of questions, it doesn't benefit anyone.
00:56:54It doesn't.
00:56:57Back off, Lisa.
00:56:59You down?
00:57:02Yeah.
00:57:03Yeah, I think so.
00:57:04Thanks.
00:57:20Hey, you got a lighter on you?
00:57:24Yeah.
00:57:25Let's make time for a chat over the break.
00:57:30I don't want to see everything slip away over one person.
00:57:34We'll have lunch.
00:57:35Okay.
00:57:36Here for your check.
00:57:48I'm going to need an advance when those jobs rubbed were arranged.
00:58:03Sure.
00:58:03Got a few bills that popped up.
00:58:05Um...
00:58:07What upcoming jobs?
00:58:09I...
00:58:09I don't see anything.
00:58:10Oh.
00:58:11The commercial.
00:58:11I-I signed the paperwork a while back.
00:58:18Ah.
00:58:19Here it is.
00:58:22It seems like that deal fell through.
00:58:24What?
00:58:25Yeah.
00:58:26Did they say why?
00:58:27The client pulled out?
00:58:30No.
00:58:31No, that can be.
00:58:32I-I...
00:58:32I just spoke to them.
00:58:33I had a whole creative, uh, conversation about...
00:58:37about the commercial and what I wanted to do with it.
00:58:39I-I-they were excited about us.
00:58:43Look.
00:58:44I heard Barry said he didn't agree with the creative.
00:58:48And that was a deal breaker for them.
00:58:49So, he turned down the commercial.
00:58:51Hmm.
00:58:54I'm so sick of this.
00:58:55I've had enough.
00:58:56Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:58:56Get your hands off of me.
00:58:58Mr. Barry.
00:59:00How dare you?
00:59:02Uh, excuse me?
00:59:04We are the band.
00:59:06You don't turn down a job
00:59:08without letting all of us decide.
00:59:11Okay.
00:59:13This is how the industry works.
00:59:15You sign the contract.
00:59:18You belong to us.
00:59:20We decide what's best
00:59:22or we find another band
00:59:24who will accommodate us
00:59:25as we need them to do.
00:59:26Go home.
00:59:34Get some rest.
00:59:35You look like hell.
00:59:38Yeah.
00:59:39Hold on.
00:59:40Lisa!
00:59:43Remember,
00:59:44there's plenty of girls waiting in line
00:59:46to take your place.
00:59:50Hey.
00:59:51Hey, yeah, no.
00:59:52No, I just had to give someone
00:59:53a little attitude adjustment.
00:59:54Uh-huh.
00:59:57Do you have a phone I can use?
00:59:59Sure, baby.
01:00:04This room right here.
01:00:07Lucas.
01:00:09We gotta talk.
01:00:10I stopped by accounting.
01:00:12I pulled up all contracts.
01:00:14And?
01:00:15Barry and Rocco
01:00:16turned down that commercial.
01:00:18I mean, what the hell
01:00:19are we gonna do?
01:00:20I think we should bring in Toni.
01:00:22She's done this before.
01:00:23She's a backup singer!
01:00:24Period.
01:00:25Okay, do you have a problem
01:00:25without female schooling you?
01:00:26That's your problem.
01:00:27Knock it off!
01:00:28Both of you!
01:00:29We need to figure out
01:00:30how to get out of these contracts
01:00:31before we tear each other apart.
01:00:34They the bad guys,
01:00:35not us, man.
01:00:36Yeah.
01:00:37Right.
01:00:38I know a guy
01:00:39who's done this before.
01:00:41I'm gonna give him a call.
01:00:42Oh, so we can call Toni,
01:00:43but we can call a stranger
01:00:45we barely know.
01:00:46Great!
01:00:46Lovely!
01:00:47Lisa!
01:00:47Lovely!
01:00:47Please!
01:00:48We need to figure out
01:00:49what we're gonna do first
01:00:50before we'll let him know.
01:00:51Yeah?
01:00:51What?
01:00:54There's a few execs
01:00:55at the label
01:00:55that are concerned
01:00:56with your friendship with Toni.
01:00:57Who cares if I'm friends
01:00:58with Toni?
01:01:00You just listen to her
01:01:01way too much.
01:01:02You don't like the fact
01:01:03that I'm close to her
01:01:04or that she's gay?
01:01:05What?
01:01:05That's ridiculous.
01:01:06You know how many
01:01:07gay musicians are out there?
01:01:09A lot.
01:01:10You have a lot
01:01:10on your plate.
01:01:12You just don't need
01:01:13another voice in your head
01:01:14giving you advice.
01:01:15Yeah, come on, Lisa.
01:01:18This is our band.
01:01:19We started this together.
01:01:21Lisa, hey.
01:01:22I like Toni, okay?
01:01:25And I don't care
01:01:25what she does
01:01:26for her free time,
01:01:27you know,
01:01:27but this...
01:01:31this could hurt us.
01:01:34No, it won't.
01:01:36Lisa.
01:01:36She's like a sister.
01:01:38She's my best friend.
01:01:40Time is money.
01:01:42Do it.
01:01:43Do it.
01:01:44Listen.
01:01:44Stop worrying about Toni
01:01:47and start looking
01:01:49into the contracts
01:01:49and how we keep
01:01:50losing money
01:01:51because of these guys.
01:02:00I don't need you,
01:02:01all right?
01:02:01This is not the other way
01:02:02we're in trouble.
01:02:03I told you, we don't need her.
01:02:03She's wet.
01:02:04Don't stab at me like that.
01:02:05How to get out of these contracts
01:02:06before we tear each other apart.
01:02:08We need this to our band's best
01:02:10or we find another band
01:02:11who will accommodate us
01:02:13as we need them to do.
01:02:14I'm a pet, okay?
01:02:15I'm a man.
01:02:16There are plenty of girls
01:02:17waiting in line.
01:02:17We started this together.
01:02:19There's a few execs
01:02:19that can label better
01:02:20because I want you to put you
01:02:21into it.
01:02:22I see how they move.
01:02:26The band's here
01:02:26to take you to the mall.
01:02:28Lisa, come on.
01:02:29Yeah, I'll be right there.
01:02:31Lisa, what are you doing?
01:02:33Rocco says the place is packed.
01:02:35Thank you, Mio.
01:02:37I'm here.
01:02:38No, my.
01:02:38Yes, please.
01:02:39You know you're ready?
01:02:40Yeah, I said I'll be right there.
01:02:41I'm here.
01:02:42I'll be so much for the mall.
01:02:50This is a great turnout.
01:02:57I can't do this anymore.
01:02:59What?
01:03:00I need a break.
01:03:01All right.
01:03:01You'll get a break soon.
01:03:03I promise.
01:03:03No, now!
01:03:04Girl, you better calm down.
01:03:05I said you'll get a break.
01:03:08All right?
01:03:09The sooner you start,
01:03:11the sooner you will finish.
01:03:12Get back to work.
01:03:18Hey, I'm sorry about that.
01:03:19I don't think it's good.
01:03:26That should never happen.
01:03:27But, you know.
01:03:29That's right.
01:03:31Hi.
01:03:31Thank you so much.
01:03:33For the patience.
01:03:36Oh, this is such a good control.
01:03:37Come on, Lisa.
01:03:38I've been waiting all day.
01:03:39Hey, can I please get a kiss?
01:03:40I'm sorry.
01:03:40No, just an autograph.
01:03:41Come on, you look fine.
01:03:42Come on, Lisa, please.
01:03:43Fine.
01:03:43Sorry.
01:03:44Just an autograph.
01:03:44I said no, man.
01:03:46Tony.
01:03:46Oh, we good?
01:03:47We good?
01:03:48Oh, sorry.
01:03:49What the hell are you doing, Tony?
01:03:51What?
01:03:51You can't be letting dudes get all grabby like that.
01:03:53These are fans.
01:03:54They're the reason why we're here.
01:03:55We can't be handling things like this.
01:03:57What the hell is that supposed to mean?
01:03:58It means how we got to be more thoughtful.
01:04:00How you handle situations, don't you?
01:04:02Not everything is a confrontation.
01:04:04What the hell is the matter with you?
01:04:05You've never had an issue before, all right?
01:04:08You look tired, and I mean, okay, you don't want to talk.
01:04:12You know what?
01:04:13I don't need this, all right?
01:04:15Because all I was doing was making sure you were all right like I always do.
01:04:18Oh, you don't.
01:04:19Don't check on me for once.
01:04:21I already have a brother.
01:04:23I don't need another one hovering over me.
01:04:25You good?
01:04:47Yeah, I'm good.
01:04:51I'm just tired.
01:04:54I know.
01:04:56What's going on?
01:05:06Oh, man.
01:05:08Riding in style.
01:05:08That's nice.
01:05:09Look at this, man.
01:05:10That was sad.
01:05:10What is lame-ass Tony riding with us to the show for?
01:05:15I don't know, man.
01:05:16Ask Lisa.
01:05:17I will.
01:05:18What you asking me for?
01:05:20Not a mind reader?
01:05:29Why aren't you listening to Rocco?
01:05:31The label doesn't want her around, and she's messing with our money.
01:05:33I invite her her mic.
01:05:35Yeah, and that's the problem.
01:05:36We keep making all these decisions without consulting the group, and we're sick and tired of it.
01:05:40Right, Alex?
01:05:41Guys, listen.
01:05:42Look, I'm a lover, not a fighter, all right?
01:05:43Can we just talk about it later?
01:05:45Right now, we just need to focus.
01:05:46No, we can't talk about it later.
01:05:48I was going to keep this between just us, but I had a lawyer look over everything.
01:05:54And those contracts that we signed, put Rocco in charge of everything.
01:05:58He screwed us.
01:06:00Nah, you screwed yourself.
01:06:02I already told you.
01:06:03You're the music game.
01:06:04You either hustle, or you get hustled.
01:06:06And you got hustled.
01:06:09Yeah.
01:06:10Just like your daddy be hustling you, right?
01:06:12Who the hell are you talking to?
01:06:13I'm talking to you.
01:06:13I'm saying it's time.
01:06:14Chill, chill, chill.
01:06:15Chill, chill.
01:06:16Chill.
01:06:17Chill.
01:06:17Back your ass up.
01:06:18You need to be out of here.
01:06:20Now, chill out.
01:06:20Stop.
01:06:21Mike, stop dissing her.
01:06:25This is the biggest night of our careers, and you guys are wilding in a damn car?
01:06:28Man, what are we going to do about these contracts?
01:06:42Nothing.
01:06:42What do you mean, nothing?
01:06:43Those contracts are signed.
01:06:45We signed them.
01:06:47I just bought my mom a house, my brother a car, I'm paying for my sister's college.
01:06:52That can all go away tomorrow like that.
01:06:56Let's just ride this wave until we can renegotiate.
01:06:59Because I ain't going back to folding sweaters in the stockroom.
01:07:02You hear me?
01:07:02Help myself, make me feel so right.
01:07:13I got to, got to tell you, darling.
01:07:16Ooh, baby, I think I love you from head to toe.
01:07:24I think I love you from head to toe.
01:07:28You can't fight everybody, Tony.
01:07:35You're lucky Barry wasn't there.
01:07:37Me?
01:07:37I don't care about Barry.
01:07:39All right?
01:07:39He's the one that started.
01:07:40Stop.
01:07:41Stop.
01:07:42I can't handle this.
01:07:43Handle what?
01:07:44The truth?
01:07:45I've been saying the same thing over and over and over.
01:07:47Now what's happening?
01:07:49Now what's the problem?
01:07:50What is up with you?
01:07:51You've been acting different from once now.
01:07:53You never acted like this.
01:07:55I always kept it real with you.
01:07:56He, in fact, has been talking to me crazy,
01:07:59and I'm not going to keep around with it.
01:08:00You don't know what the hell you're talking about, Tony.
01:08:03Okay.
01:08:04Maybe I can stick up for myself.
01:08:07Do it.
01:08:11The rise of hip-hop and electronic dance music
01:08:13is forcing the freestyle genre to fade.
01:08:16I'll be back in a minute to check on you.
01:08:40It's Lisa.
01:08:40Lisa.
01:08:41Hi.
01:09:04She's killing it, right?
01:09:05Yeah, let's see what you got.
01:09:09Yeah, that's it.
01:09:11Nah, keep going.
01:09:16What's up?
01:09:17I stopped out to get my chick.
01:09:19Ain't nobody was rehearsing.
01:09:21Who was that?
01:09:22She's cute.
01:09:24Tony!
01:09:27Do you have a minute?
01:09:28Yeah.
01:09:29Come on, me in a bit.
01:09:29Come on, me in a little corner.
01:09:35Oh, my God.
01:10:05Look what the cat drug in.
01:10:26I need a job, man.
01:10:31Is that all you need?
01:10:35I told you.
01:10:43You'll be back.
01:10:44Let me show you how I feel.
01:10:56Oh, boy.
01:11:01We can make it.
01:11:03We can make it work.
01:11:05Hey, that was good.
01:11:06I want to do it one more time, okay?
01:11:07Great job.
01:11:08Hey, look who's back.
01:11:10It's so good to see you, Lisa.
01:11:13You look terrible.
01:11:16You're not pregnant, right?
01:11:17Shut up, Spanador.
01:11:19Who's that?
01:11:21Um...
01:11:21That is, um...
01:11:24Spanador?
01:11:27Mike.
01:11:28Mike!
01:11:30Lisa, hear me out.
01:11:32Where's Stoney?
01:11:34Where's Stoney?
01:11:38Lisa!
01:11:38I told you.
01:11:48Barry!
01:11:50I'm gonna have to call you back.
01:11:52What happened to Stoney?
01:11:54I was gonna explain it to you.
01:11:56Who the hell said to let her go?
01:11:57It was a group decision.
01:11:58I'm a part of this group.
01:12:01Stoney's toxic, okay?
01:12:03She's violent.
01:12:04We do not need an individual like that on the road.
01:12:07She's a liability.
01:12:07I need her.
01:12:08I need her on the road.
01:12:10I want her back.
01:12:11No.
01:12:12What?
01:12:13It was a management decision.
01:12:15I'll just go bring her back here.
01:12:16You know, if you go after her,
01:12:18I have to believe that you are not serious about your career.
01:12:22You could lose everything you have worked for.
01:12:26And for what?
01:12:28Some lesbian?
01:12:30How dare you.
01:12:31What does it matter who she sleeps with or who she is?
01:12:38You don't like Stoney because she sees through your lives.
01:12:43Mm-hmm.
01:12:44You don't like her because she teaches me about snakes like you.
01:12:49I'm not gonna go on without her.
01:12:53Period.
01:12:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:12:55You're from the ghetto.
01:12:57You never graduated from high school.
01:12:59You cannot make it in this business without someone like me.
01:13:10Watch me.
01:13:12Have you seen Tony?
01:13:27I'm sorry, girls.
01:13:28I can't write you.
01:13:31Lisa?
01:13:32Why are you looking for Tony?
01:13:34She using again?
01:13:35I-I didn't know she used.
01:13:37You don't wanna know she used.
01:13:41Maybe not.
01:13:42Her pops, she's using again.
01:13:44She'll be with him.
01:13:44He's a drug addict pimp.
01:13:46Living somewhere in the projects.
01:13:48If you find him, you'll find her.
01:13:51Thanks.
01:13:52Hey, Lisa.
01:13:53You gotta save her.
01:13:55If she stays in the projects,
01:13:56she'll end up just like her father.
01:13:59Music's all she has.
01:14:00Can we just get an autograph?
01:14:04Get out of the way!
01:14:05Hey, Lisa.
01:14:06Be careful.
01:14:08Project's no place for a girl after sunset.
01:14:12Yo.
01:14:13I don't think she's breathing.
01:14:15She'll be all right.
01:14:18I don't know, B.
01:14:19We need to do something.
01:14:21This your daughter, man.
01:14:23It's a grown-ass woman.
01:14:25She ain't did nothing she ain't wanna do.
01:14:27Tony!
01:14:28The hell is that?
01:14:29Tony!
01:14:29Are you here?
01:14:31Hey, get the piece, man.
01:14:32Tony!
01:14:32Hold me down.
01:14:34What the hell you doing here?
01:14:38You hear me talking to you?
01:14:39Tony.
01:14:40Tony.
01:14:41Tony.
01:14:41Hey!
01:14:42Tony!
01:14:43Tony!
01:14:43Tony!
01:14:44No, no.
01:14:45Get up.
01:14:46Get up.
01:14:47She's barely breathing.
01:14:49She ain't going nowhere.
01:14:54She's gonna die.
01:14:55We all gotta go sometime.
01:14:58But you?
01:14:59You ain't going nowhere, Bodequa.
01:15:09There are off-duty police officers waiting for me outside.
01:15:12If they come over here, and they spot that pile of cocaine you got there, they're gonna
01:15:21pick you up for the multiple warrants you probably have, and you will die in prison.
01:15:26You hear me?
01:15:35Don't get outside.
01:15:36Having babies don't make you a father.
01:15:42Caring for them does.
01:15:45You ain't no father.
01:15:48Hey, Bodequa.
01:15:50Don't ever let her come back here.
01:16:01Come here.
01:16:02What day is it?
01:16:17Tuesday.
01:16:17Tuesday.
01:16:19You've been out all night.
01:16:24Oh.
01:16:24Oh.
01:16:26Oh.
01:16:27This?
01:16:30It's the latest in accessories.
01:16:32The chemo pack.
01:16:36I've had her for a while.
01:16:40Doc told me after...
01:16:44Javi and I split up.
01:16:45But why?
01:16:51Why didn't you say anything?
01:16:54I didn't tell anyone, because I was...
01:16:57Because I was scared.
01:17:01Scared of what?
01:17:03Scared of losing everything.
01:17:05You know, when I was a kid, I would stand on a chair in the kitchen and just dream I was
01:17:14on a stage singing.
01:17:17You know, that I was the one coming out of Radio City Music Hall in a limo.
01:17:24That I would take care of mommy and that I would make Belagio proud.
01:17:30They'd seen me all successful.
01:17:32And for a while, it felt like everything we were living was that dream.
01:17:47And the moment anyone said cancer, I would...
01:17:52I would just lose it all.
01:17:54That everything would be gone.
01:17:59You know, the tour, the bands, the money.
01:18:05You?
01:18:08I was terrified of losing you.
01:18:12And I was so angry at you.
01:18:14Why did you do that?
01:18:20I once...
01:18:23I asked a junkie...
01:18:27How did he start getting high?
01:18:31This guy was a track star.
01:18:33He...
01:18:34I don't know, he ended up...
01:18:37strung out in the projects most nights.
01:18:39But he said when you...
01:18:42spend your life...
01:18:45being numb...
01:18:48drugs help you to feel something.
01:18:51And I guess I just...
01:18:53I just wanted to feel something.
01:18:55I've been selling rock for my pops.
01:18:58It was never about the money.
01:19:00I just wanted him to love me.
01:19:05Tony.
01:19:05I guess I just...
01:19:08I gotta accept the fact that he'll never be able to do that.
01:19:15You can't force anyone to love you the way you want.
01:19:20I know that.
01:19:23Now.
01:19:26Do you?
01:19:35You're my best friend.
01:19:39My sister.
01:19:40My family.
01:19:44I don't ever want to lose you.
01:19:47You will ever lose me.
01:19:48You got that?
01:19:53Then no more secrets.
01:19:57No secrets.
01:20:00Because sisters don't keep secrets.
01:20:04Okay?
01:20:05I think there's one more person you need to tell.
01:20:16Lisa!
01:20:17I don't want to see her!
01:20:18I don't want to see her!
01:20:19I don't want to see her!
01:20:20I don't want to see her!
01:20:21I don't want to see her!
01:20:22I don't want to see her!
01:20:23I don't want to see her!
01:20:24I've been so long since I've seen you, baby!
01:20:27What are you doing here?
01:20:29I'm sorry, Mommy.
01:20:31I've been busy.
01:20:33I have so much to tell you.
01:20:36But what are you doing Saturday night?
01:20:38I don't want to see her in the shower.
01:20:46I have so much to the rest of the day of the day city.
01:20:50We did it, Mom.
01:21:06Yes, we did.
01:21:20Hi, Mommy.
01:21:34I got you seats in the front row.
01:21:40We'll eat after, yeah?
01:21:43Yeah.
01:21:46Yeah, baby.
01:21:48I'm so beautiful.
01:21:50Oh, my God.
01:21:53Yeah?
01:21:57It's time.
01:22:02I'll see you later.
01:22:03Yeah.
01:22:05Hey, I got you something.
01:22:10What?
01:22:13I thought I lost them.
01:22:15It was in some of the boxes from when you moved.
01:22:17I figured you might need it, since you never went anywhere without them.
01:22:34Lisa?
01:22:34It's not that I didn't think you could take the D train alone or pay for Mama's bills or do all of this.
01:22:47I just, I wanted to be the one to do that for you.
01:22:56So you didn't have it as tough as I did.
01:22:59I just, I wanted to be the one to take care of my little sister.
01:23:03Oh, I know.
01:23:11And if I never told you this,
01:23:13I've never been more proud of anyone in my entire life.
01:23:19I love you, sis.
01:23:23Oh, yeah.
01:23:24Hello, New York.
01:23:49Are you ready for that?
01:23:50Can you feel the beat within my heart?
01:23:53Can you see my love shine through the dark?
01:23:59Can you feel the beat within my heart?
01:24:01Can you see my love shine through the dark?
01:24:03Can you see that you must be a part?
01:24:05Oh, that beat in my heart.
01:24:10That beat in my heart.
01:24:11I'm Lisa.
01:24:22Tony.
01:24:22Yeah!
01:24:26Let me hear you scream!
01:24:41We're gonna do this my way, or not at all.
01:25:09Don't you have sisters?
01:25:11You got me now.
01:25:33Aw, you're calling me your best friend.
01:25:35You're so cheesy.
01:25:37Can we stay in love, New York?
01:25:39Are you ready for this?
01:25:40Can you feel the beat within my heart?
01:25:42Can you see my love shine through the dark?
01:25:44Can you feel the beat within my heart?
01:25:46Can you see my love shine through the dark?
01:25:48Can you see that you must be a part
01:25:50of that beat in my heart?
01:25:51Tony!
01:25:52Tony!
01:25:53Get up!
01:25:54Get up!
01:25:55That beat in my heart...
01:25:58That beat...
01:25:59Let's go!
01:26:00Let's go!
01:26:01Let's go!
01:26:02You're my best friend.
01:26:03I don't ever want to lose you.
01:26:04You want to know about my life?
01:26:06Well...
01:26:07You're my best friend.
01:26:08I don't ever want to lose you.
01:26:09You want to know about my life?
01:26:13Well, here you go.
01:26:33Oh, yeah, you'll be back.
01:26:39Fly, fly away.
01:26:43Oh, yeah, yeah, you'll be back someday.
01:26:51You can fly away.
01:26:56It will be all right.
01:27:01It will be all right.
01:27:03It will be all right.
01:27:34And it seems life is too much.
01:27:38When it seems so hard to make tomorrow count.
01:27:45You can fly away.
01:27:48It will be all right.
01:27:50It will be all right.
01:27:51It will be all right.
