00:00:43Baby, get out here before the cereal gets soggy.
00:00:46Two more peanut butter.
00:00:47Hurry up.
00:00:48Peanut butter.
00:00:49What is she still doing here?
00:00:52That's for the kids' lunches.
00:00:53Well, Jacob offered, so...
00:00:54Well, Jacob's one of the kids.
00:00:56He's a grown-ass man, and you ain't his mama.
00:00:58You do know he's 17, right?
00:01:03Hey, Ma.
00:01:03Is everybody up?
00:01:04Yeah, everything's done, of course.
00:01:06What about you?
00:01:06You tired?
00:01:07Where's your brother?
00:01:08Good morning.
00:01:10He's just getting up.
00:01:11I gotta get back to work.
00:01:13Okay, well, I left a plate for you in the fridge for when you get home.
00:01:16All right, talk to you later.
00:01:17I hate you.
00:01:18Love you.
00:01:18Love you.
00:01:19Um, who was she?
00:01:20Who are you?
00:01:21She was just leaving.
00:01:24Let's go.
00:01:24Let's go.
00:01:28I didn't eat what we have.
00:01:30Yo, thanks for the sis, Kalani.
00:01:31I hope you protected yourself.
00:01:33Seriously.
00:01:34If I'm pleased.
00:01:36Remember, there's a no pet rule in the building.
00:01:39Haters, dead ass, both of you.
00:01:41I'm not hating.
00:01:42I'm looking out for you.
00:01:43You stole this, huh?
00:01:45I am.
00:01:45Don't you ever forget it.
00:01:47Buy one minute, fool.
00:01:49Do I get one too, Ma?
00:01:51I'm good, Jacob.
00:01:52I'll take it.
00:01:53No.
00:01:53Look.
00:01:54Y'all gonna be late.
00:01:55Get on.
00:01:56Take this.
00:01:57Thanks, Jake.
00:01:58You know I got you.
00:01:59And scrub the...
00:02:02Scrub the nasty out the tub before Mom gets home.
00:02:05Hey, she was nasty and a little bit nasty, but she wasn't nasty nasty.
00:02:09Bye, Jacob.
00:02:16Machines and living things convert energy into what?
00:02:19Heat.
00:02:21Good, baby.
00:02:21And how does a living thing convert energy into heat?
00:02:27Sex?
00:02:28That you better not write on your test.
00:02:34Good morning.
00:02:35Come on in.
00:02:35How are you?
00:02:36Um, ladies usual.
00:02:42I thought you said she was coming.
00:02:44She is.
00:02:46She's supposed to anyway.
00:02:48I hope I didn't choose the one day she's sick.
00:02:50That wouldn't change anything.
00:02:53Girl, what it do?
00:02:55Uh-uh.
00:02:55What you doing here, Terrence?
00:02:56Boy, you know this ain't your train.
00:02:58Good morning, T.
00:02:59Who you waiting for?
00:03:00Your cousin.
00:03:01Terrence, what's going on?
00:03:03What up, Andre?
00:03:04How you doing?
00:03:05Come on.
00:03:05Come on.
00:03:06Come on, girl.
00:03:08You know you're not too busy for your own men.
00:03:31Come on.
00:03:35You know you don't want to be late for school.
00:03:36No.
00:03:39What's up, Kalani?
00:03:41What's up, Terrence?
00:03:49What?
00:03:50You making you nervous or something?
00:03:53Well, with you staring at me like that.
00:03:56What you doing on this train anyway?
00:03:58My grandma needed some help with groceries this morning,
00:04:01so I just thought I'd come through.
00:04:02Aw, it's easy.
00:04:04Man, this is my stop.
00:04:06Tell Kirk I said hi to Sam.
00:04:08You still your man?
00:04:10Yes, that's still my man.
00:04:12You sure?
00:04:20Why are you doing that?
00:04:23Yes.
00:04:25You need to stop.
00:04:30Okay, girls.
00:04:32Your next assignment.
00:04:33Write a paper on The Lie by Kurt Vonnegut.
00:04:35I expect you all did the reading.
00:04:37Chanda and Kalani, it was a rhetorical question.
00:04:40It's AP literature.
00:04:42Now, who can tell me what Kurt Vonnegut's The Lie was all about?
00:04:47Can I raise my hand now, or is that also a rhetorical question?
00:04:51Amy, it's a book about the American dream.
00:04:54Oh, really?
00:04:56You have to go deeper, Amy.
00:04:59Bethany, what are your thoughts?
00:05:01It's a short story about a boy whose family donates money to a private school much like ours.
00:05:05But the school doesn't accept the boy because his test scores aren't good enough.
00:05:09Even though his family had gone to the school for generations, it's completely unfair.
00:05:14Good. Bethany, you have hit on the topic of this assignment.
00:05:20Continue, Bethany.
00:05:21Most of us in this room would agree that private schools are private for a reason.
00:05:26If you can't afford it, you shouldn't have the right to a better education.
00:05:30That is a very strong point of view.
00:05:35Best days are due on Monday.
00:05:37They account for one third of your final grade, and I am expecting nothing short of your very best.
00:05:43Thank you so much.
00:05:46Kalani, I need to see you for a moment.
00:05:59Good afternoon, Kalani.
00:06:06Your college application is there. Are you sure you don't want me to send any others?
00:06:11I think I could take it to the mailbox myself.
00:06:14You don't want a filth.
00:06:15I've given this a lot of thought, and Yale is where I want to be and my first choice.
00:06:25I understand. I can be behind it.
00:06:31And-and, um, for helping with the application fees.
00:06:35I don't know what I want to do if I don't get in.
00:06:40The great what-ifs of life.
00:06:42It either propels you to greatness or stunts you into immobility.
00:06:50Your destiny is gonna make you sitting down and staying focused on what has to be done.
00:06:59That's your destiny.
00:07:02My destiny?
00:07:04You sound so much like me.
00:07:06Yeah, but did you have a bitch-ass bigot trying to ruin you?
00:07:09I hate Ms. Umans.
00:07:11Ms. Umans?
00:07:13She has a problem with me.
00:07:16I'm the only black girl in our class, and she makes sure I know it.
00:07:20It's good preparation for you, Kalani.
00:07:26Let me tell you a little story.
00:07:31I was your own brother from the projects.
00:07:34My mother gave birth to me at 13.
00:07:38I had all the world on my shoulder and all the odds against me.
00:07:45I was told that I was brilliant and accomplished just like you.
00:07:51I even got a scholarship to play baseball and be a pitcher at one of the top-ranked high schools.
00:07:59Then the team got a coach who was not interested in having a black pitcher.
00:08:09I was disappointed.
00:08:11I was upset.
00:08:12I felt like I had lost my confidence.
00:08:15All those things.
00:08:16My grades fell.
00:08:17All those things happened to me.
00:08:18And I think since I'm a black man in this white man's world, why should I dream big?
00:08:26Why can't I just sit on the bench of life like everyone else and don't follow my dreams?
00:08:33Yeah.
00:08:35I didn't go into baseball like I wanted to.
00:08:39I didn't go into my dream.
00:08:41But I made it.
00:08:44Yeah.
00:08:46Through all that, I got through it.
00:08:51And I look at that and I think about you.
00:08:55Because that's what you're gonna have to do.
00:08:57You're gonna have to get through it.
00:08:59All the things that you're angry about, all the ways in which your dreams are often undermined.
00:09:07You're gonna have to get through it.
00:09:09And you, you can do that.
00:09:13I think so.
00:09:16Step one is to be present and to be focused.
00:09:20So get out there.
00:09:36And then pass through it.
00:09:37I got it.
00:09:39Are you kidding?
00:09:40Daddy's in the south of France, last I heard.
00:09:42The card's got us.
00:09:44Thanks.
00:09:45No problem.
00:09:52You know the school year's almost over and you've still never taken me to a party in Harlem?
00:09:56I hear they're epic.
00:09:57I could be your plus one.
00:09:59My plus one?
00:10:00What? I mean it.
00:10:02You're telling me you don't need to blow off steam?
00:10:04Katie.
00:10:04Have you ever been above 96th Street?
00:10:07Of course I have.
00:10:08I took a tour of Columbia.
00:10:10Mmm.
00:10:11Okay.
00:10:12Yeah.
00:10:13Okay.
00:10:18Kalani, you ready?
00:10:19Let's go.
00:10:20Hi, Katie.
00:10:21Hi, Kirk.
00:10:22It's nice to see you again.
00:10:23Oh, it's nice to see you too.
00:10:25Hi, Katie.
00:10:27Kalani, you know I don't like being down here.
00:10:28Oh, don't be so dramatic.
00:10:30Kalani, let's go.
00:10:34Um, bye, Katie.
00:10:36See you later.
00:10:37Okay.
00:10:37Let me know about going out this weekend.
00:10:39Yeah.
00:10:40Gotcha.
00:10:42I thought we had planned just you and I.
00:10:53You looking good today, baby.
00:10:55You waiting on me?
00:10:57My brother was supposed to pick me up.
00:10:59I don't know where he is and he's not picking up his phone.
00:11:01Hey, Ty, hop in the V. Let's get to the crib.
00:11:03I want my friends tonight, Malik.
00:11:05I'm good.
00:11:07You headed back to 1 55th?
00:11:08I can get you a ride if that's what you ask.
00:11:10Well, you took me for a ride a couple times last month,
00:11:13and then I never saw you again.
00:11:16Oh, you know I love you, shorty.
00:11:18I'm going to hop in the whip so we can get to the crib.
00:11:21I'm going to hop in the whip so we can get to the crib.
00:11:47I could eat.
00:12:07Hey, Dad.
00:12:08Hey, Pastor.
00:12:09Hey.
00:12:10Hey, Kalani.
00:12:10How you doing?
00:12:11How's Mom and the family?
00:12:13Everybody's good.
00:12:14Yeah?
00:12:15What about this knucklehead?
00:12:16How's he treating you?
00:12:20Son.
00:12:22You're not going to help her with her backpack?
00:12:24I taught you better than that.
00:12:25Yes.
00:12:26My bad, Dad.
00:12:26Me.
00:12:27Offer something to drink?
00:12:28Oh, I'm fine, really.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:31You guys have homework?
00:12:32Yeah, a big paper.
00:12:34All right.
00:12:34Well, you know you're welcome to stay and have dinner with us.
00:12:38Just tell your Mom.
00:12:40Thanks, Pastor.
00:12:41All right.
00:12:42I have a big meeting at the church, so we'll be back in a couple of hours.
00:12:45All right, Pop.
00:12:45Love you.
00:12:46Take care.
00:12:47I've got mine on you.
00:12:51I need some drink.
00:13:05Hey, how about we shut this?
00:13:08Hey, what are you doing?
00:13:10Let's go upstairs.
00:13:10Why?
00:13:12There's more control up there.
00:13:13Come on, babe.
00:13:14Come on.
00:13:14I'm fine.
00:13:16Comfortable enough.
00:13:17Damn boy.
00:13:22Yo, I'm not your damn boy.
00:13:24And I'm not a dog.
00:13:28Okay, what just happened?
00:13:29Why you always gotta be like that?
00:13:31Like what?
00:13:32Boring.
00:13:33Kalani, boring.
00:13:34A tease.
00:13:35All my friends get to brag about what their girls do for them.
00:13:37I can't say nothing.
00:13:38You don't do nothing for me, you don't want me, and you don't care about me.
00:13:43Yeah.
00:13:45I care about you.
00:13:48Then prove it.
00:14:11I said no.
00:14:13Relax.
00:14:14Relax.
00:14:14I said no.
00:14:15Stop.
00:14:18Stop, Kurt.
00:14:20Stop, Kurt.
00:14:22Stop, Kurt.
00:14:24Stop.
00:14:28Stop.
00:14:36Hey, babies.
00:14:38Hey, where you going?
00:14:41Come on, future wife.
00:14:56I wonder where all my children are.
00:14:59Hey, Mom.
00:15:00What's got you so out of breath?
00:15:01That's him.
00:15:03Where's Bebe?
00:15:05I'm gonna kill that little girl.
00:15:07There's some chicken and dumplings on the stove with some white rice.
00:15:09Go make yourself a treat.
00:15:10I'm not hungry, Mom.
00:15:12Chicken and dumplings is one of your favorites.
00:15:14Would you say this?
00:15:15No.
00:15:15No.
00:15:17Bebe, do you know what time it is?
00:15:20I'm sorry, I didn't think he was home yet.
00:15:23I was waiting on Jacob and he never came to get me.
00:15:26Just because I'm not home doesn't mean you shouldn't be.
00:15:28I want you to come straight home after school whether Jacob gets you or not.
00:15:32Do you understand?
00:15:34Yes, Mama.
00:15:35So where have you been?
00:15:37With a friend.
00:15:38What friend?
00:15:39Tied from downstairs.
00:15:40I thought I told you to stay away from that family.
00:15:43I'm sorry, I forgot.
00:15:46You forgetting something?
00:15:51You stink, Bebe.
00:15:54You been having sex?
00:15:55No.
00:15:56Don't you lie to me, girl.
00:15:57Where you get this necklace from, huh?
00:15:58From a friend.
00:15:59He gave it to you for nothing?
00:16:02Ma, I didn't do that.
00:16:02The next words that come out of your mouth better not be a lie.
00:16:07I can't even look at you right now and get out of my face and go take a shot.
00:16:10I don't want you to shower before I beat your ass.
00:16:12I told you to look after your sister.
00:16:14How could you let this happen?
00:16:35Kalani, have you seen my shower cap?
00:16:44You mad at me too?
00:16:46What do you think?
00:16:49Why don't you tell me you're having sex, Bebe?
00:16:54I can't protect you if you don't tell me anything.
00:16:58I'm sorry.
00:17:02You use condoms, right?
00:17:05Sometimes.
00:17:06Sometimes.
00:17:07Sometimes?
00:17:07They only work if you use them every time.
00:17:09He doesn't like condoms.
00:17:11He says they don't feel the same.
00:17:12What if you get a STD?
00:17:14That won't happen.
00:17:15Are you stupid?
00:17:16No.
00:17:18You know what?
00:17:18First thing Monday morning you go into the clinic, but tomorrow you're gonna get your
00:17:21butt up, go to the pharmacy and get some condoms since it seems like you cannot control
00:17:26yourself and you need to get a pregnancy test.
00:17:29I'm fine.
00:17:29How do you know?
00:17:31Because I'm not pregnant.
00:17:32When was your last period?
00:17:34I don't know.
00:17:35I don't remember.
00:17:36Last month?
00:17:36I don't know.
00:17:37Exactly.
00:17:37You don't know anything.
00:17:39You're taking the test.
00:17:40I'll give you the money.
00:17:41That's it.
00:17:42Your shower cap is over there.
00:17:43You protect your hair but not your life.
00:17:46Stupid.
00:17:46Stupid.
00:18:47Mom.
00:18:52You okay?
00:18:54And I plead your precious blood over my mother.
00:18:58Keep baby and Jacob in your hand according to your will, God.
00:19:04In Jesus' name, amen.
00:19:09Amen.
00:19:23Get up!
00:19:25Get up!
00:19:30Mom, what are you doing?
00:19:31Call your brother and tell him to come get his stuff.
00:19:33I've had enough.
00:19:33He's got to go.
00:19:34He didn't come home last night, and then I find this.
00:19:38Where was it?
00:19:39Right here in his room.
00:19:42Did you know Kalani?
00:19:43No.
00:19:45No, Ma.
00:19:46Tell him I'm flushing it down the toilet.
00:19:47I won't have this in my house.
00:19:51Mom.
00:19:52Mom, please, stop.
00:19:54If you need to do, just call your brother and tell him to come get his stuff.
00:19:57Otherwise, he'll be picking it up off the curb.
00:20:00I want him out.
00:20:01Mom.
00:20:02Mom.
00:20:19Mom.
00:20:20Bianca, hurry up!
00:20:21Calm down, Ma.
00:20:22You're pressured.
00:20:22You need to do what I told you to do.
00:20:24Get Jacob on the phone.
00:20:25That's what you need.
00:20:25Hurry.
00:20:29Mom.
00:20:30Mom!
00:20:31Kalani, get out of my way!
00:20:51Mom.
00:20:52Why didn't you tell me?
00:20:53This is what you're into now, Jacob.
00:20:55Have you lost your mind?
00:20:56Mom, I found your stash and she flushed it.
00:20:59She flushed it?
00:21:00You're kidding me right now.
00:21:01She could get me killed.
00:21:03She could get all of us killed.
00:21:05You're the one who gonna get us killed.
00:21:07I'm doing this to take care of y'all.
00:21:08I put my life on the line every day for this family.
00:21:11Do you even know what that's like?
00:21:13Jacob.
00:21:14You know what?
00:21:15Just keep Mom out of my room, all right?
00:21:17I gotta go handle this.
00:21:20I gotta go.
00:21:42I gotta go.
00:21:44Do you know what that's like?
00:21:45I gotta go.

00:22:31Bye, pooch.
00:22:51Yeah, I feel it.
00:22:58Where's Malik?
00:22:59He's busy.
00:23:00I need to talk to him.
00:23:01But he's busy.
00:23:02Coco's here.
00:23:03I don't care about that chick.
00:23:05It's important, Ty.
00:23:06Get him for me.
00:23:07I need to talk to him.
00:23:09Okay, sit down.
00:23:11He'll be out soon.
00:23:18Do you still watch these cartoons?
00:23:20I stopped watching these, like, six months ago.
00:23:33Baby, you look better than all of those girls.
00:23:37I know.
00:23:38I really care about you.
00:23:40You always say hi.
00:23:42Look, could you go get your brother?
00:23:43Why you don't want to just chill with me?
00:23:45Why you always want to be with my brother?
00:23:49Malik, you don't see me?
00:23:52What you doing here?
00:23:53I have to talk to you.
00:23:54Nah, I'm busy.
00:23:56But it's important.
00:23:59My baby mom's just here.
00:24:00You got the role.
00:24:02So?
00:24:03I'm your baby moms, too.
00:24:08What you say?
00:24:11I'm your new baby moms.
00:24:17I'm your baby mom.
00:24:19Tell me you ain't even had your period yet.
00:24:21I got it.
00:24:24Well, I had it.
00:24:26All the times wrong you ain't say nothing?
00:24:28I'm sorry.
00:24:30I told you I couldn't mess with you no more
00:24:31if you had your period, baby.
00:24:33It's not like I planned it.
00:24:36I'm sorry, Malik.
00:24:37What you trying to do?
00:24:37She beat each other.
00:24:38What's going on in here?
00:24:40Malik.
00:24:40Go in the room.
00:24:41What's?
00:24:41Who is this?
00:24:42Who are you?
00:24:43Don't worry about me.
00:24:44Don't worry about yourself.
00:24:45Malik, who is this girl?
00:24:46Coco, go in the room.
00:24:48Malik.
00:24:48Get in the room.
00:24:49No, no, no.
00:24:49I'm thinking of it.
00:24:50Malik.
00:24:53You really pregnant, baby?
00:24:56Why would I make this up?
00:24:58You can't have no baby.
00:24:59He'll kill you.
00:25:01You don't know him, baby.
00:25:03He did that because he's in shock.
00:25:05I'm his girl.
00:25:06He loves me.
00:25:07Malik already got a girl.
00:25:09And your point?
00:25:19Handle that.
00:25:20But Malik.
00:25:22Get away from me.
00:25:23Hey, I want her gone when I come back out of here.
00:25:26You better leave now.
00:25:27Don't tell me what to do.
00:25:42I'm so scared.
00:25:43I'm more careful.
00:25:48You better leave now, baby.
00:25:49All right.
00:25:51And I need to move around.
00:25:51Let me move around, let me move around.
00:25:53I don't go down fingers.
00:25:55I think I won't move around.
00:25:57Okay, I've got your eyes right now.
00:25:58Water, water, water.
00:25:58Let me move around.
00:25:58Water, water and water.
00:25:58Head
00:25:59Mm-mm.
00:26:02Ooh, yes.
00:26:04Girl, this is cute, right?
00:26:07If you want to look like a highlighter.
00:26:09Bitch, don't hate.
00:26:10I'm going to try it on.
00:26:11What about this?
00:26:12This is appropriate.
00:26:13Oh, no.
00:26:14Girl, you've been hanging with them frumpy white kids
00:26:16too long, girl.
00:26:17Come on.
00:26:18I'm not going to church, OK?
00:26:19I'm trying to turn up.
00:26:22Woo, girl.
00:26:23I'm about to be the blah.
00:26:26Still cute.
00:26:38I'm ready to go.
00:26:40Where's the dress?
00:26:43Really?
00:26:44That's a good question.
00:26:45You that broke?
00:26:45That dress was like $9.
00:26:47Yeah, you look like a highlighter.
00:26:48Girl, don't hate.
00:26:49At least I don't fit into the background like you.
00:26:51Take it off.
00:26:52Girl, shut it up.
00:26:54Look, hold my purse.
00:26:56All right, shut up.
00:26:57Hold it.
00:26:57Let me fix my shirt off.
00:26:58Let me fix you.
00:26:59Hey, hey, get back here.
00:27:03Get back here.
00:27:05Get back here.
00:27:06Get back here.
00:27:06You got to pay for that.
00:27:08Go away.
00:27:10Yo, girl, that was crazy.
00:27:12Boop.
00:27:14What the hell, Tani?
00:27:15You could have just warned us.
00:27:16You just left us there.
00:27:17I totally thought you were right behind me.
00:27:19And guess what?
00:27:21Y'all were.
00:27:21You know what that could have did to my chances at Yale
00:27:24if we got caught, stupid?
00:27:26Ridiculous.
00:27:26Unbelievable.
00:27:27Girl, where's my purse?
00:27:29Ask me to go shopping with you ever again in life, ever.
00:27:32Let it go.
00:27:32There's a party to get ready for.
00:27:34I told you I'm not going.
00:27:35I have a paper due Monday.
00:27:38I said that.
00:27:39Homework over a party?
00:27:40Yes.
00:27:40Kalani, you're so corny.
00:27:42Really?
00:27:42Come on now.
00:27:43You're corny.
00:27:44It's not about being corny.
00:27:45Tania is about getting into Yale.
00:27:47Right.
00:27:47After Harvard, the second or third most prestigious school
00:27:50in the country, Tania, you clearly don't get it, but.
00:27:54You're obsessed with that school, right?
00:27:56Did you even apply to Columbia or a city college even?
00:27:59Oh, no, she trying to be one of those bougie Negroes
00:28:01who leaves Harlem behind and forgets where they came from.
00:28:04OK.
00:28:06Or it's about that sperm donor you so fascinated with.
00:28:10He went to Yale.
00:28:11Big deal.
00:28:12He was an asshole.
00:28:13He used your mom, had to push out three of y'all.
00:28:16Really?
00:28:16Then he moved back to his real family on the Upper West Side.
00:28:20Forget that fool, because you don't
00:28:21need to hide in the shadow of that bastard.
00:28:23Move on.
00:28:24What are you talking about?
00:28:25I live in the shadow, me and my brother.
00:28:27Walk in his shoes, pay his bills.
00:28:29Bitch, you didn't do it alone.
00:28:31OK?
00:28:31I was there too when your ass was too
00:28:33little to do a goddamn thing.
00:28:35Meanwhile, my mama sucking dick in the stairwell.
00:28:39We family.
00:28:40We got through it without that fool,
00:28:42and we getting through now.
00:28:44Now, what you need to do is find his ass,
00:28:47call him out in front of his dumb ass wife
00:28:49and them fed ass kids.
00:28:51They fat.
00:28:52You know it.
00:28:53They fat.
00:28:53You seen them on Facebook?
00:28:54How do you know they fat?
00:28:55They fat.
00:28:55What are you talking about?
00:28:57They fat.
00:28:58Listen, look, look.
00:28:58I just wanted to see you smile, right?
00:29:01A laugh.
00:29:01Now, please, go with me to this party.
00:29:03No, I'm not going.
00:29:05I have dreams.
00:29:06It goes.
00:29:07Listen, you can pipe dream about Yale,
00:29:09and you play a pimp daddy, all of that stuff afterwards.
00:29:11It's not a pipe dream.
00:29:12It's not about a dream deferred.
00:29:15It's about getting into Yale.
00:29:16I have dreams, goals, aspirations, vision.
00:29:19Unlike you, whose vision doesn't go past tonight
00:29:22in some lame ass nigga in Jordans.
00:29:24That's your life, not my life.
00:29:25Why you got to make my man lame, though?
00:29:27Okay?
00:29:28Look at your ex with his fake, religious, bad, rough ass,
00:29:31you know, his rough stink.
00:29:33That's why I, I'm not going to Yale because he went to Yale.
00:29:36I'm going because Jane Matilda Bowling went to Yale,
00:29:39the first black woman to graduate Yale Law,
00:29:42the first black woman to become a judge.
00:29:44Ooh.
00:29:44Thank you very much.
00:29:46Mm-hmm.
00:29:46And I'm going to go the distance and become a lawyer.
00:29:49Maybe I'll become a judge.
00:29:50And when I do, then I'll come back to Harlem,
00:29:53pick up my whole entire family, and move them to Stryvers Row.
00:29:57You're welcome.
00:29:58I'll be your neighbor, then.
00:29:59Yes, you will.
00:30:01Okay, that's cute, inspiring.
00:30:03Kumbaya-ish.
00:30:05But until then, we going to a pop-in party, right?
00:30:08When you hit it big, I'll move my ashy little kids
00:30:11on up to Kalani Street.
00:30:14Okay, fine, fine, I'll go.
00:30:17But you got to give me some smoke.
00:30:19You going to go?
00:30:20Yes, girl, I got it.
00:30:21Get this loud, get this drink, get this steak.
00:30:24Yes, girl, go.
00:30:25Come on, let's make a Soul Train line.
00:30:27Ow, ow, ow, girl, don't act like you ain't no hoe.
00:30:31Come on, girl, I know you like it.
00:30:33Listen, we going, we going.
00:30:34You going to not get drunk, that's all I know.
00:30:36I can't take you when you're drunk.
00:30:37I'm going to be at choir.

00:31:08Y'all want to make it rain too, I know.
00:31:25If I knew you were coming, I would have got here a lot earlier.
00:31:30That's fine.

00:32:07Cause boy, we're gold as a ring on your finger, 24K
00:32:11You know that I'm not perfect
00:32:13So you break up with Kirk and it's going to the night

00:33:40Baby, isn't it a little late for you to be eating a plate of bacon?
00:33:45Yeah

00:34:26You gotta figure that out on your own
00:34:28Well, what would you do?
00:34:30I wouldn't have had sex in the first place
00:34:32You're a kid
00:34:34How old is Ty?

00:34:41I don't know how this happened
00:34:43I'm sorry
00:34:43Don't apologize to me
00:34:45You the one who got pregnant
00:34:46I can't have one decent day
00:34:48Without dealing with meds from you
00:34:50Ma, Jacob, Tanya, auntie
00:34:53Like one day apiece
00:35:00I'm scared, Kalani

00:35:33Girl, it's time to get ready for church
00:35:35Good morning, Ma
00:35:36What you doing?
00:35:38I've been up since five working on my English paper
00:35:41You wanna read it?
00:35:43I need you to get ready for church
00:35:45Oh, wake up, baby
00:35:46Wake up
00:35:50I'm not Jung
00:35:50Did your brother come home?
00:35:51I haven't spoken to him since yesterday
00:35:54Call him and remind him of his responsibility to pay his part of the rent
00:35:58I got a notice under my door, and you know I don't like getting no notices under my door.
00:36:03And wake her up, too.
00:36:05Okay, Mom.
00:36:08Wake up, baby.
00:36:11Baby.
00:36:13Baby, hey, baby.
00:36:14Hey, hey, hey, baby.
00:36:16No.
00:36:18We gotta go to church.
00:36:20I'm not going.
00:36:22Why?
00:36:23I feel like a hypocrite.
00:36:26Nobody in church is perfect.
00:36:28Nobody.
00:36:30I know.
00:36:31You're a weed head.
00:36:33Girl, since you know so much, get your butt up.
00:36:36Shut up.
00:36:49Your phone's ringing.
00:36:52Hello?
00:36:53Jacob, where are you?
00:36:54Mom, calm down.
00:36:56She's been asking for you, and she needs you to pay your half of the rent.
00:37:00I'm sorry.
00:37:01She told me to remind you.
00:37:03Honey, I'm going to be home in a few, and I'm going to take care of that.
00:37:06I decided, though, I can do more for y'all if I don't live there.
00:37:11Please come home.
00:37:12I'm coming home to get my stuff, and then I'm out.
00:37:15I gotta go.
00:37:17Bye.
00:37:23You got that money for me?
00:37:29Got it.
00:37:36That's all I got right now.
00:37:38This ain't enough, Carmen.
00:37:40I thought you said you got me.
00:37:41I gotta pay what I owe for rent and for The Rock, or else they'll be coming for me.
00:37:45I was already supposed to settle up yesterday.
00:37:47What am I supposed to do with this, Carmen?
00:37:48Listen.
00:37:48Listen.
00:37:50Next week, I can ask my husband for more.
00:37:52I got you, babe.
00:37:53Come on.
00:37:54I don't even know why you're bringing him up.
00:37:55And next week, it's too late.
00:37:57I need the money now, Carmen.
00:37:58Don't leave, please.
00:37:59I gotta go.
00:38:00You said you got me, but obviously you don't.
00:38:02So you know what I'm going to have to do?
00:38:03I'm going to have to go out here and get it on my own like I should have in the
00:38:06first place.
00:38:07You didn't need breakfast.
00:38:08I gotta go.
00:38:08Come on.
00:38:09Please stay.
00:38:10Please.
00:38:13Jacob.
00:38:14I gotta go home.
00:38:19It's hard to keep thinking that good is on your side.
00:38:24And nothing good seems to happen in your life.
00:38:30And when you do, you can get off the ground.
00:38:35Been there before.
00:38:38And you don't have to stay down.
00:38:40I know you're fed up.
00:38:42Things just won't let up.
00:38:44You're seeing better days than these.
00:38:47Better days.
00:38:48Better days.
00:38:49Better days.
00:38:50Better days.
00:38:50Just keep on hoping.
00:38:52Yeah.
00:38:52The door will open.
00:38:54To see it you've got to believe.
00:38:59It's Josh.
00:39:00How you doing?
00:39:01Good to see you and family here this morning.
00:39:03You know we love you.
00:39:04I love you.
00:39:05Better days than these.
00:39:07Better days than these.
00:39:09Just keep on hoping.
00:39:12The door will open.
00:39:14Yes it will.
00:39:14To see it you've got to believe.
00:39:18But the thing is.
00:39:19Don't stop your giving.
00:39:22Promise of faith.
00:39:26Thank you choir for that lovely selection.
00:39:29That was perfect because it fits perfectly with our message this morning.
00:39:34God is working it out for you.
00:39:36I'll say it one more time.
00:39:39God is.
00:39:40God is.
00:39:40Working it out.
00:39:41Working it out.
00:39:42For you.
00:39:43For you.
00:39:44Sometimes we feel like he isn't watching us at all.
00:39:48Sometimes we feel like he isn't there.
00:39:51But the Bible tells us that the eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the evil and the
00:39:58good.
00:39:59God.
00:40:08What the hell is wrong with you?
00:40:11Nothing.
00:40:12Leave her alone.
00:40:15I can't be here.
00:40:17I want to go home.
00:40:20Okay buddy.
00:40:21Maybe that's the best thing.
00:40:23You gotta stop crying sweetie.
00:40:26You're too pretty to be crying like that.
00:40:33Let me try.
00:40:41And y'all two don't y'all know it all.
00:40:43Girl.
00:40:43I'm gonna fix this.
00:40:53All right.
00:40:54Go ahead.
00:40:54But go straight home.
00:40:56You understand?
00:40:57Yes.
00:40:59All right.
00:41:00Get some rest.
00:41:02I have a situation.
00:41:04I need some help.
00:41:04Yes.
00:41:05It is.
00:41:06Beautiful day.
00:41:07A fine day to do business.
00:41:09This is serious.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11What if we lost a little damn common courtesy in this age today?
00:41:15A loan shark.
00:41:16I need a loan.
00:41:17Enough said.
00:41:17Can you help?
00:41:19A loan shark?
00:41:22Nah, you see?
00:41:24I'm just a man who helped folk put a damn paper on their dreams.
00:41:29All right.
00:41:30What can I help you with?
00:41:31A thousand.
00:41:32That's it?
00:41:34Ain't I hear that sister you always got her eyes on college?
00:41:36A thousand for now.
00:41:37I'm gonna handle that a different way later.
00:41:41One thousand United States legal title.
00:41:46That's a great choice.
00:41:48All right.
00:41:49I won't even ask for a piece of your sisters either.
00:41:52What?
00:41:53Nigga, you lucky I don't smoke you for a move like that.
00:41:56All right, now, juice is 10% a week.
00:41:57You know where to find me.
00:42:02At the restaurant down the block.
00:42:04Bye.
00:42:07Was that Terrence?
00:42:09Yeah.
00:42:10He's on his way.
00:42:17I just want my friend to be happy.
00:42:19Okay.
00:42:25Excited to see me.
00:42:27I can tell.
00:42:29I gotta go check on Bebe.
00:42:38Hey Bebe, you home yet?
00:42:41I'll be home in a second.
00:42:43I told you to go straight home.
00:42:46You need to rest.
00:42:49I'm gonna be a little late.
00:42:51Are you gonna be okay?
00:42:54All right.
00:42:56Love you.
00:42:58Love you too.
00:42:59Bye.
00:43:20I have something I need to tell you.
00:43:23I'm listening.
00:43:27I'm a virgin and I plan on staying that way.
00:43:31You think that's why I want to be with you?
00:43:35Well, Kirk and I used to argue about that all the time.
00:43:38I'm not Kirk.
00:43:40I like you for who you are.
00:43:44Well, you say that but we don't even know each other.
00:43:49I mean, we know each other but we don't know each other.
00:43:59Okay.
00:44:00So, what do you want to know?
00:44:04Um, what do you plan on doing after school?
00:44:07Well, I'm definitely going to college.
00:44:09Hoping to get into Howard.
00:44:11Howard?
00:44:11That's a good school.
00:44:12Yeah.
00:44:13What about you?
00:44:14I want to go to college too.
00:44:16Where?
00:44:18Yale.
00:44:20Yale?
00:44:21Wow.
00:44:22I feel like it's a little out of my league but it's the same way I felt before I applied
00:44:26to the school I'm at now.
00:44:29You're right.
00:44:30I definitely didn't know the girl behind those beautiful braids.
00:44:57From now on, only when we're in public but not like this when we're alone, Ty.
00:45:01What do you mean?
00:45:04Malik, I've been waiting for you.
00:45:08Ty, I thought I told you not to let her back in here.
00:45:10I have to talk to you.
00:45:12About what?
00:45:14I already gave you the bread.
00:45:16I'm keeping it.
00:45:17No, you're not.
00:45:19Look, I got a plan.
00:45:21Ty and I will act like we're a couple and people will think it's his but you and I will
00:45:25not.
00:45:25You gonna do what I said.
00:45:27No.
00:45:27I'm keeping the baby.
00:45:29Look, we can figure this out.
00:45:39You think this is a game choice?
00:45:41I'm sorry.
00:45:42I'm sorry Malika.
00:45:43I'm leaving your browser!
00:45:44No, stop!
00:45:45Stop, please!
00:45:46No, I'm...
00:45:47I'm...

00:45:50Stop!
00:45:51Please!
00:45:54Yo, Ma, you hear?
00:45:58Let's go.
00:46:40Hey, Kay, it's me.
00:46:43You don't have to call back.
00:46:44I'm just sitting here thinking about Pops.
00:46:50I know you worry about me, but
00:46:52I know I love you.
00:46:56I'm sounding real corny right now.
00:46:58Just sitting here at the crib looking at my life and trash bag.
00:47:04I gotta go.
00:47:06You know I love you.
00:47:14Kalani?
00:47:15I just left you a message.
00:47:16Hey, yo, playboy.
00:47:17You at the end of the room.
00:47:18Wait, wait.
00:47:19I can get you your money.
00:47:20Just give me some more t-
00:47:22Damn it.
00:47:34Yo, Ma, is that you?
00:47:40Yo, Ma.
00:47:50Baby.
00:47:53Baby, what happened?
00:47:55Oh, my God.
00:47:56What happened?
00:47:57Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:47:59Hey, she's bleeding.
00:48:00She's bleeding.
00:48:03She's bleeding.
00:48:05She's bleeding.
00:48:05She's bleeding bad.
00:48:06My sister, my baby sister.
00:48:08We need an ambulance now.
00:48:09Home Home Tower, seat 18th floor.
00:48:12I'm right here, baby.
00:48:13I'm right here.
00:48:14I'm going to cry.
00:48:15I'm right here, okay?
00:48:17Hey, I need you to tell me what happened, okay?
00:48:19It was my car.
00:48:20No.
00:48:21He told me he didn't want another baby.
00:48:24Who, who, baby?
00:48:25Who?
00:48:26Baby.
00:48:28Mommy.
00:48:29Mommy.
00:48:30Mommy.
00:48:31Mommy.
00:48:32Mommy.
00:48:33Mommy.
00:48:34Mommy.
00:48:35Mommy.
00:48:37Where's your brother?
00:48:38He ain't here.
00:48:39Man, move.
00:48:40Malia, where are you at?
00:48:42Get your ass out here.
00:48:46Man, that's my sister.
00:48:47What's wrong with you, man?
00:48:48She's a kid, man.
00:48:50She's a baby, you son of a bitch.
00:48:52If I ever see you around again, I'll kill you.
00:48:55You hear me?
00:48:55I'll kill you.
00:49:06Malia!
00:49:24Yeah, Mom.
00:49:25Okay.
00:49:26Okay, I'm on the way.
00:49:26I'll meet you at the hospital.
00:49:27What's going on?
00:49:28My mom needs to meet her at the hospital.
00:49:30Okay, well, I'm going with you.
00:49:32Okay.
00:49:36I didn't know.
00:49:37I swear to you, I didn't know this was happening.
00:49:41I have to ask you these questions, Miss Johnson.
00:49:43I'm sure you understand.
00:49:44Kalani, thank God you're here.
00:49:45What happened?
00:49:47They got me out here questioning me like I'm a criminal.
00:49:50My baby's in the room down the hall.
00:49:52You're from Child Protective Services?
00:49:55We're asking your mother a few questions.
00:49:57It's standard procedure in matters like this.
00:49:59My mom busts her ass every day.
00:50:01You should be ashamed of yourself.
00:50:03You the brother?
00:50:04It's a friend.
00:50:06Well, then you can't be in here, son.
00:50:08I just wanted to make sure Kalani got here okay.
00:50:11I'll be in the waiting room.
00:50:12Here, if I'd have you two need anything.
00:50:18You could give us some privacy, too, Miss.
00:50:22Of course.
00:50:24Here's my card.
00:50:27I'll reach out to you if I have more questions.
00:50:38Do you know you could have cost me my child?
00:50:41I trusted you.
00:50:43What's taking so long?
00:50:45I've got 20 minutes to go.
00:50:47This isn't God-related.
00:50:48I'm sorry.
00:50:48My God.

00:59:47You don't want to do this, not now.
00:59:50I know his family doesn't know about his son,
00:59:53but I think he needs to know his son is dead.
00:59:55I think you're angry, and you deserve it to me.
00:59:58I just want to drop the obituary off.
01:00:00I don't care how he feels about it.
01:00:02You think it's as simple as that?
01:00:04What, you knock on the door,
01:00:06it's going to pull you into his arms?
01:00:09What is a family, Kalani?
01:00:11What does it really mean to be a dad?
01:00:15Anybody can be a father,
01:00:17but Jacob's life, Jacob's loss,
01:00:21is worthy of a dad.
01:00:26I don't have the answers to that.
01:00:28You're going to have to think this through.
01:00:32I need you.
01:00:34I need you to think it through.
01:00:37I need you to think it through.
01:00:40I can't.
01:00:41I don't have any more room.
01:00:43I don't have the room for it.
01:00:45I can't do it.
01:00:46I can't do everything and be everything to everybody.
01:00:49I can't take my sister to school.
01:00:52Make sure she's okay.
01:00:53Make her lunch.
01:00:54Bury my brother.
01:00:56Try to get her to college.
01:00:57Try to have a life and be a kid.
01:00:59I can't do it.
01:01:00I can't do it.
01:01:02Honey, come on.
01:01:03Take a breath.
01:01:05Take a breath.
01:01:08All you're going through is too much for anyone at any age.
01:01:15And maybe you should take a break.
01:01:17No, no, no.
01:01:18You should take a break for school for a while.
01:01:21It's going to be all right.
01:01:23It won't affect your grades.
01:01:28This is one moment in your life that you have to go through.
01:01:34You will get through it.
01:01:55Hey, little lady.
01:01:57Hey, Mr. Stokes.
01:01:59This elevator's broken.
01:02:01And this one's gone express.
01:02:04Express to where?
01:02:07It's going straight to the top.
01:02:09Well, I live up on 18th.
01:02:11I can walk down.
01:02:12What are you going to do?
01:02:14Wait for the repairman.
01:02:16What else can I do?
01:02:37I know you don't know about this.
01:02:39No, I'm not.
01:02:40Oh, here she goes.
01:02:41Keep it moving.
01:02:42Damn.
01:02:43You know I got room for you too, sweetheart.

01:03:02I'm worried about you.
01:03:05He says I need a mental health break.
01:03:09I don't know, Ma.
01:03:10I think he's right.
01:03:11The nonsense is for white folks.
01:03:18Can I fix you something to eat?
01:03:21No, Ma, I'm good.
01:03:24Can I run you a bath?
01:03:27How you sound like me?
01:03:37A letter came for you from Yale.
01:03:42You really applied to the same school as your father?
01:03:48Hmm.
01:03:52You gonna open it?
01:04:01You're so thin.
01:04:03No, they send those rejection letters out by the thousands.
01:04:09There are plenty of other schools right here in New York.
01:04:12nämlich a new pai Alec.
01:04:25Let me help you in the clean middle of Rome.
01:04:25All the mountains are locked in.
01:04:34There should be aleneck in this dorm so that you can run out before you only use one.
01:04:34Bare a GP.
01:04:34Now, William, what's the only thing you've got to start?
01:04:35Yeah?
01:04:42Let's go.
01:05:28So, what'd it say?
01:05:36I got in.
01:05:38I can't believe it.
01:05:39I got in.
01:05:40Let me see.
01:05:46Oh, my God.
01:05:56What about Bebe?
01:06:00Well, what about helping me around here?
01:06:02It's all the way in Connecticut.
01:06:05You're not planning on accepting this, are you?
01:06:09Ma, I'm going.
01:06:11No, you're not.
01:06:14To Yale, of all places, really, Kalani?
01:06:17There are plenty of schools that are closer.
01:06:21Write them and tell them that you decided to take a school that's closer to your family.
01:06:26It's my decision, and I've made it.
01:06:29It's Yale, Ma.
01:06:32Not everybody gets an opportunity like this, but I did.
01:06:38Was Jacob gone?
01:06:42You're just going to leave?
01:06:45I'm not Jacob, Mom.
01:06:47I'm coming back.
01:06:50I got bills that I need help with every day, Kalani.
01:06:54I need help with Bebe.
01:06:57You got responsibilities here, okay?
01:07:00I'm not the mom.
01:07:01You're the mom.
01:07:04You are.
01:07:05I want to be a kid.
01:07:08Let me be a kid.
01:07:14Mom.
01:07:53Remember this dress?
01:07:55You never let me wear it.
01:07:58It's yours.
01:07:58Are you serious?
01:08:02Can I have the shoes, too?
01:08:05Now you're pushing it.
01:08:09All right, take the shoes, girl.
01:08:14I have something from Jacob, too.
01:08:20I don't know why he was hiding it, but I'm glad I found it when I did.
01:08:26This is kind of intense.
01:08:36I think I'll look at it later.
01:08:40Okay.
01:08:41And your time.
01:08:48Finally get the room to yourself.
01:08:50It's all I've ever wanted.
01:08:54But now I'm not so sure.
01:09:01I want you to make good decisions, smart choices, and those times where you don't have all the answers, I'm
01:09:14just a phone call away.
01:09:19Mom's going to have me doing everything around here.
01:09:22It's a lot, but it's not so bad.
01:09:25Just keep the room clean, do what she asks of you, and just don't grow up too fast.
01:09:31You know?
01:09:33You'll be my age before you know it, but take care of Mom.
01:09:39You're serious, baby.
01:09:40Okay.
01:09:41Okay?
01:09:47Kalani?
01:09:49Can we cuddle tonight?
01:09:53Come on.
01:09:55Come, come, come, come, come, come on.
01:09:58But don't hog all the cover.
01:10:01You're hogging it already.
01:10:02Okay.
01:10:05Bye.
01:10:06Bye.
01:10:06Love you, Kalani.
01:10:08Love you, baby.
01:10:28You.
01:10:30Alright, I'm coming down.
01:10:31I know.
01:11:05Bye, Mom.
01:11:14Didn't think I was going to say goodbye to you.
01:11:19I thought you were asleep.
01:11:22I haven't slept in weeks.
01:11:30I made you all your favorites.
01:11:34There's a sweet potato pie in that little bag.
01:11:36I'm saving that for Thanksgiving to make sure your butt comes home.
01:11:40Thanks, Mom.
01:11:45I am so proud of you.
01:11:49I know I haven't said that nearly as much as I should have,
01:11:52but I really am proud of you.
01:11:57Thanks, Mom.
01:12:02Get one out of here.
01:12:18It's a guilt gift.
01:12:19It goes pretty well with the sorry-I-missed-Christmas-with-family Rolex.
01:12:24All I got was corporate.
01:12:26I got the family.
01:12:27Trade?
01:12:33Grand Central, right?
01:12:35Any chance we can make a quick pit stop?
01:12:37I need to stop by the school.
01:12:39Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.
01:12:58Hey, Kalani.
01:13:00You have a minute?
01:13:06I know this is going to sound weird and uncomfortable and awkward, but do you remember that conversation we had
01:13:16after Jacob died about family?
01:13:18Mm-hmm.
01:13:19Well, I didn't go to my father's house.
01:13:23You were right.
01:13:24There is a difference between a father and a dad.
01:13:29So, I want you to have this.
01:13:39Jacob Jones.
01:13:41Don't forget me.
01:13:43Oh.
01:13:45Impossible.
01:13:47All right.
01:13:49I'll be in the stands cheering you on.
01:13:53Thanks for everything.
01:13:57Yeah.
01:14:01Too young to be tired.
01:14:06Too high to be higher.
01:14:12Too far to go further.
01:14:17But too strong to deter her.
01:14:22In my eyes, all I see is my fire.
01:14:28In my heart, all I feel is desire.
01:14:34In my dreams, all I see is my life.
01:14:39Until I live what I see, I'll just strive.
01:14:50Mm-hmm.
01:14:55The drive.
01:14:59Mm-hmm.
01:15:03The drive.
01:15:05Mm-hmm.
01:15:07The drive.
01:15:08The drive.
01:15:08Giving up is not an option.
01:15:13You don't see him like me often
01:15:19When in his mind I've chosen
01:15:24And I made up my mind
01:15:29I'll just strive
01:15:36I'll strive
01:15:43I'll just strive
01:15:48I'll just strive
01:15:53Hello?
01:15:55Hey, it's me.
01:15:57Hey.
01:15:58See you on your way, or?
01:16:00Yeah, I'm actually almost there.
01:16:03What about you?
01:16:04Me too.
01:16:06I didn't realize how far out of the city how it actually is.
01:16:09And in the opposite direction of you.
01:16:13I mean, there's always holidays.
01:16:15That's true.
01:16:19Are you going back for Thanksgiving, or?
01:16:22Yeah.
01:16:24What about you?
01:16:25I'll be back.
01:16:26Yeah.
01:16:28You know, in the meantime, I'm definitely going to miss it.
01:16:31But, uh, you know, especially you.
01:16:36Okay.
01:16:38But, yeah, I'll be back for Thanksgiving.
01:16:43Um, probably should get going, because I'm just about to pull up a second.
01:16:52Okay.
01:16:53All right, well, just remember, Kalani, that you deserve it.
01:16:59Well, thanks, Terrence.
