1
00:00:55,621 --> 00:00:57,452
Get out of the way! Move!
2
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:01,918
Come on.
3
00:01:03,295 --> 00:01:05,490
Come on, man.
Get up.
4
00:01:05,598 --> 00:01:06,860
Come on.
5
00:01:08,801 --> 00:01:09,927
Shoot!
6
00:01:15,307 --> 00:01:17,741
Suspect out of the way.
Heading toward Exchange.
7
00:01:19,945 --> 00:01:21,572
Move it!
Out of the way!
8
00:01:27,686 --> 00:01:29,586
Hold it!
9
00:01:37,997 --> 00:01:41,455
Don't move! Don't move!
Get away from that window!
10
00:01:41,567 --> 00:01:43,694
Get over there!
Do what I say!
11
00:01:44,737 --> 00:01:46,932
Oh, shit. Pick up my meat.
12
00:01:50,776 --> 00:01:54,837
- You hungry, brother?
- Do I look hungry? Get over there!
13
00:01:57,650 --> 00:02:01,051
I might be a little hungry,
but get your hands up!
14
00:02:01,153 --> 00:02:03,883
- He ain't got no gun.
- You think I ain't got a gun?
15
00:02:03,989 --> 00:02:07,152
- Shoot me, goddamn it!
- I'll shoot you.
16
00:02:09,261 --> 00:02:10,990
You mother...
17
00:02:11,096 --> 00:02:12,757
No. Come on, Hank!
18
00:02:12,865 --> 00:02:14,856
Back up, back up!
19
00:02:14,967 --> 00:02:16,457
What you know about
a brother needing a job?
20
00:02:18,187 --> 00:02:20,382
- Big Floyd Patterson haircut head.
- You don't look like Floyd.
21
00:02:20,489 --> 00:02:22,821
Shoot. I just wanted
to barbecue.
22
00:02:22,925 --> 00:02:25,359
It's the goddamn Fourth of July.
23
00:02:25,460 --> 00:02:27,724
Can't a black man have
a goddamn Fourth of July, too?
24
00:02:29,831 --> 00:02:31,731
- Open up! It's the police!
- Sweet Jesus.
25
00:02:33,468 --> 00:02:34,935
Kick it in!
26
00:02:35,837 --> 00:02:39,068
- Don't mess with my conk.
- You want a barbecue?
27
00:02:42,210 --> 00:02:44,872
Is there a problem, officers?
28
00:02:44,980 --> 00:02:48,541
Yeah. We're looking for a thief.
You seen one?
29
00:02:49,418 --> 00:02:51,682
Me? No, I haven't seen a thi...
30
00:02:51,787 --> 00:02:53,880
Hank, you seen
a thief around here?
31
00:02:53,989 --> 00:02:57,049
- No, no, not around here.
- No, me, either.
32
00:02:57,159 --> 00:02:58,285
No thief.
33
00:03:02,164 --> 00:03:04,428
You guys aren't
celebrating the holiday?
34
00:03:04,533 --> 00:03:07,297
Sure. We're just finishing up
our last customer.
35
00:03:15,410 --> 00:03:17,810
I said play
like you cuttin' it.
36
00:05:52,167 --> 00:05:54,135
Eddie, you can't talk about people
just 'cause they biracial.
37
00:05:55,552 --> 00:05:57,144
- Why not?
- 'Cause that's silly.
38
00:05:57,254 --> 00:05:59,188
They can take it
like anybody else.
39
00:05:59,289 --> 00:06:02,816
All I'm saying, Calvin,
is black folk love to take credit
40
00:06:02,926 --> 00:06:06,089
for they half-black brothers
and sisters till somethin' goes sour.
41
00:06:06,196 --> 00:06:09,563
You know, like Tiger Woods...
we claim him.
42
00:06:09,666 --> 00:06:12,294
Jennifer Beals. What the boy mama
used to be on The Jeffersons?
43
00:06:12,402 --> 00:06:15,371
- Lenny Kravitz.
- Lenny Kravitz... count him.
44
00:06:15,472 --> 00:06:18,373
As soon as they go freak out
just a little bit,
45
00:06:18,475 --> 00:06:21,410
go a little crazy, get a little glitter
like Mariah Carey,
46
00:06:21,512 --> 00:06:26,347
then all of a sudden it's the other half
that went looney tunes.
47
00:06:26,450 --> 00:06:31,046
- What about Vin Diesel?
- I don't know what he is. Half car.
48
00:06:31,154 --> 00:06:32,985
What black man
do you take credit for?
49
00:06:33,090 --> 00:06:37,527
I'll tell you who I don't want
to take credit for... that D.C. Sniper.
50
00:06:37,628 --> 00:06:38,720
I was mad when I found out
dude was black.
51
00:06:40,063 --> 00:06:42,031
Hold on there, Terri.
52
00:06:42,132 --> 00:06:45,863
The D.C. Sniper is like
the Jackie Robinson of crime.
53
00:06:45,969 --> 00:06:47,402
What?!
54
00:06:48,539 --> 00:06:50,234
Tell them, Eddie.
55
00:06:50,340 --> 00:06:53,241
He broke into the white leagues
with that crime.
56
00:06:54,962 --> 00:06:58,420
That crime took planning.
Not only planning, it took math.
57
00:06:58,532 --> 00:07:02,992
You know, it took math
to figure out all them trajectories
58
00:07:03,103 --> 00:07:05,628
to shoot from the back
of an automobile.
59
00:07:05,739 --> 00:07:08,537
That's white-folk shit right there.
60
00:07:08,642 --> 00:07:11,736
With the problems we got,
black folks used to could say,
61
00:07:11,845 --> 00:07:13,210
"At least we ain't crazy. "
62
00:07:13,313 --> 00:07:14,746
Our crimes made sense.
63
00:07:14,848 --> 00:07:18,113
Ain't got no money,
rob somebody with money.
64
00:07:18,218 --> 00:07:21,244
Black folks are just as crazy
as white folks.
65
00:07:22,956 --> 00:07:25,322
Mike Tyson...
he's like three crazy people.
66
00:07:25,425 --> 00:07:26,392
Prince?
67
00:07:26,493 --> 00:07:28,085
Hold on, hold on now.
68
00:07:28,195 --> 00:07:30,663
He half Cherokee or something.
Don't put him in with us.
69
00:07:31,598 --> 00:07:33,065
DVDs, CDs. Ike Turner's
greatest hits with Tina on the cover.
70
00:07:34,483 --> 00:07:36,110
Got something
you ain't gonna believe...
71
00:07:36,218 --> 00:07:37,913
R. Kelly on tape
with grown women.
72
00:07:38,020 --> 00:07:40,989
I got Grandmas Gone Wild.
You ever seen wrinkles in a thong?
73
00:07:41,090 --> 00:07:43,285
Fred, don't buy nothing
from that fool.
74
00:07:43,392 --> 00:07:46,020
That Nemo tape I got for my son
has a crack deal on it.
75
00:07:46,128 --> 00:07:48,995
- Why you always lyin' on me?
- Ain't nobody lyin' on you.
76
00:07:49,098 --> 00:07:52,067
Line me up.
I got a meeting in 19 minutes.
77
00:07:52,168 --> 00:07:54,762
Head to your meeting
'cause I got next.
78
00:07:54,870 --> 00:07:57,031
K- Rod called and booked
the spot after that,
79
00:07:57,139 --> 00:08:01,974
but I can get you at 3:45
or 11:00 on Tuesday.
80
00:08:03,179 --> 00:08:06,979
You a superstar now?
The Eminem of the barber world?
81
00:08:07,082 --> 00:08:09,516
Yeah, that's why
they call me Slim Fadin'.
82
00:08:09,618 --> 00:08:11,779
This used to be my chair.
83
00:08:11,887 --> 00:08:14,355
Wasn't but two seconds ago
your pasty Pilgrim ass
84
00:08:14,457 --> 00:08:15,685
was sitting at that front seat
and nobody was feeling you.
85
00:08:17,026 --> 00:08:19,620
Well, they're feeling me now.
86
00:08:19,728 --> 00:08:21,559
I'll touch you up.
87
00:08:30,406 --> 00:08:33,204
My customer's running late,
so I can take you.
88
00:08:34,343 --> 00:08:35,605
Cool.
89
00:08:40,182 --> 00:08:41,149
Hi.
90
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:42,512
Hello.
91
00:08:47,289 --> 00:08:49,553
So...
92
00:08:49,658 --> 00:08:52,354
what's it like
working for Alderman Brown?
93
00:08:52,461 --> 00:08:56,921
It's good.
The alderman is a great mentor.
94
00:08:57,032 --> 00:08:59,660
Must be nice doing
what you said you'd always do.
95
00:09:00,402 --> 00:09:02,461
I really admire that.
96
00:09:04,607 --> 00:09:06,575
- Apple juice?
- What's going on here?
97
00:09:06,675 --> 00:09:08,870
Who set this up?
This shit ain't funny.
98
00:09:08,978 --> 00:09:11,674
- What?
- This. You being nice to me?
99
00:09:11,780 --> 00:09:14,840
You admire me? You got back
together with Kevin, didn't you?
100
00:09:14,950 --> 00:09:18,044
I do not need a man
to make me feel good.
101
00:09:18,153 --> 00:09:20,314
Plus, I'm trying to be
at peace with myself.
102
00:09:20,422 --> 00:09:21,252
I don't know this woman.
103
00:09:22,976 --> 00:09:24,671
Would you know me if I shoved
my foot up your ass?
104
00:09:24,777 --> 00:09:26,836
Oh, yes, there she goes.
105
00:09:27,413 --> 00:09:28,402
Let's go.
106
00:09:28,514 --> 00:09:30,914
Lookin' good, Mr. Stewart.
Now you can get your swerve on.
107
00:09:31,017 --> 00:09:33,383
Calvin, when you get my age,
you don't swerve.
108
00:09:33,486 --> 00:09:36,421
You just be happy gettin'
that bad boy out of park.
109
00:09:36,522 --> 00:09:37,955
You tell him.
110
00:09:38,057 --> 00:09:40,719
You got something smaller?
I don't got change.
111
00:09:40,827 --> 00:09:43,421
- Just keep it.
- You ain't got to tell me twice.
112
00:09:43,529 --> 00:09:45,394
What'd you do,
hit the lotto?
113
00:09:45,498 --> 00:09:47,625
- I sold the cleaners.
- What?
114
00:09:47,734 --> 00:09:50,635
Yep, sold it.
Time for early retirement.
115
00:09:50,737 --> 00:09:53,535
Quality Land Development came in
and made me an offer.
116
00:09:53,639 --> 00:09:56,699
More money than I'd ever seen.
I jumped at it.
117
00:09:56,809 --> 00:10:00,609
- What are they going to put in?
- A Kinko's or something.
118
00:10:00,713 --> 00:10:04,046
I heard they was gonna move
a Subway over there.
119
00:10:04,150 --> 00:10:06,141
A Subway and a Blockbuster.
120
00:10:06,252 --> 00:10:08,447
Yep. White folk
is coming back.
121
00:10:08,554 --> 00:10:10,522
They tryin'
to make money on a brother.
122
00:10:10,623 --> 00:10:13,456
This ain't about
white folks comin' back.
123
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,049
Most of these businesses
coming in are black-owned.
124
00:10:16,478 --> 00:10:18,378
This whole block
is gonna get upgrades.
125
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,176
They can tear down
all this mess around here.
126
00:10:21,283 --> 00:10:22,511
Change is a good thing.
127
00:10:22,885 --> 00:10:26,446
Long as they ain't buildin' liquor stores
and titty bars, I'm cool with it.
128
00:10:26,555 --> 00:10:28,147
Wait a minute now, Calvin.
129
00:10:28,257 --> 00:10:31,522
If they build a titty bar across
the street, I ain't never goin' home.
130
00:10:34,830 --> 00:10:36,627
Hey, babe!
131
00:10:36,732 --> 00:10:38,131
Here's your shit.
I burned the rest of it.
132
00:10:39,635 --> 00:10:41,500
The next time
you want to call yourself
133
00:10:41,603 --> 00:10:43,935
sleeping around
behind somebody's back,
134
00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:46,098
make sure
she look like something
135
00:10:46,208 --> 00:10:47,869
'cause I heard
all of your little shit.
136
00:10:47,976 --> 00:10:52,106
Your cell called the house,
and I heard all two minutes of it.
137
00:10:53,782 --> 00:10:56,444
No, I didn't hear it?
Are you trying to call me a liar?
138
00:10:56,552 --> 00:11:00,113
I don't even see how you could
cheat on me with your toddler penis.
139
00:11:00,222 --> 00:11:01,655
I hope you had a good time.
140
00:11:01,757 --> 00:11:05,318
The next time you come back,
I'm gonna get medieval on your ass.
141
00:11:07,045 --> 00:11:09,878
I got a sword, I got an ax,
a box of bullets,
142
00:11:09,981 --> 00:11:13,974
and I'm gonna get both of my babies'
daddies to jump on that ass!
143
00:11:16,503 --> 00:11:17,834
What does she gotta have
both of them for?
144
00:11:17,938 --> 00:11:18,768
Shut up!
145
00:11:23,310 --> 00:11:29,476
Like I was sayin', if they
build a titty bar across the street,
146
00:11:29,583 --> 00:11:31,175
I ain't never goin' home.
147
00:11:32,903 --> 00:11:34,803
You couldn't go home
if you wanted to.
148
00:11:39,909 --> 00:11:42,742
You act like you know
what you're doing.
149
00:11:42,846 --> 00:11:43,938
Please, man.
150
00:11:59,211 --> 00:12:02,510
Now watch this. Balance.
No. Balance.
151
00:12:02,615 --> 00:12:03,741
Balance.
152
00:12:03,849 --> 00:12:06,477
What is all that Circus Dee Soleil
that you're doin'?
153
00:12:06,585 --> 00:12:09,679
All that flippity hippity
stompity stoobily-doo.
154
00:12:09,789 --> 00:12:11,222
It ain't necessary
to cut nobody head.
155
00:12:15,027 --> 00:12:18,326
What's up, dawg?
I don't get the "I"?
156
00:12:18,431 --> 00:12:22,197
Come on, dawg.
You know I gotta have the "I."
157
00:12:22,301 --> 00:12:23,268
Stop playin'.
158
00:12:24,036 --> 00:12:26,800
- Where do you want it?
- Right here.
159
00:12:38,517 --> 00:12:41,418
Tight!
160
00:12:42,955 --> 00:12:45,583
That mess ain't right.
I want my rent money on the first.
161
00:12:45,691 --> 00:12:48,854
Not the second, not...
Hold on, let me finish my thought.
162
00:12:48,961 --> 00:12:51,953
Not the second,
'cause I'm not the bad guy here.
163
00:12:52,064 --> 00:12:53,656
Am I the bad guy here?
164
00:12:56,969 --> 00:12:58,266
Come here.
165
00:13:00,239 --> 00:13:01,206
Check it out, little man.
166
00:13:01,307 --> 00:13:02,797
One thing you're gonna constantly
have to deal with in your life,
167
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:07,528
and that's broke-ass
black folks.
168
00:13:07,629 --> 00:13:11,030
They gonna be hard to spot
'cause they dressed real nice.
169
00:13:11,132 --> 00:13:14,363
Don't let that fool you,
'cause the nicer they dress,
170
00:13:14,469 --> 00:13:16,699
usually the broker they are.
171
00:13:17,438 --> 00:13:20,100
I like hanging with you.
172
00:13:20,208 --> 00:13:23,644
You know, this is gonna
be yours one day... all of this.
173
00:13:24,846 --> 00:13:27,314
Hey, Calvin, you goin'
over to Emma's?
174
00:13:27,415 --> 00:13:31,317
Tell her my niece sent her
a graduation picture Friday.
175
00:13:31,419 --> 00:13:34,252
- Bring me back a sweet potato pie.
- I ain't bringing you back nothin'.
176
00:13:40,378 --> 00:13:42,573
Hey, Keisha.
Where Janelle at?
177
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:44,648
She's not here yet.
Hey, boo.
178
00:13:44,749 --> 00:13:46,512
Now, why you even go there?
179
00:13:46,618 --> 00:13:50,145
You can read a calendar.
You know she called in sick.
180
00:13:50,254 --> 00:13:54,281
I need my rent money.
The bank want they money on the first.
181
00:13:54,392 --> 00:13:57,190
I need my money on the first,
not the second and not the 15th.
182
00:13:57,295 --> 00:13:58,956
Come here, Coley.
183
00:13:59,063 --> 00:14:02,863
Come here. Your mommy
leave you with this crazy man?
184
00:14:02,967 --> 00:14:06,095
Crazy? I'm about to
drop him off at Miss Emma's.
185
00:14:07,071 --> 00:14:08,595
Ain't that right?
186
00:14:08,706 --> 00:14:11,732
You know, your daddy used to like
to play with those, too.
187
00:14:11,843 --> 00:14:14,141
- And this.
- Watch your mouth, girl.
188
00:14:14,245 --> 00:14:16,213
They can remember that shit...
I mean stuff.
189
00:14:16,314 --> 00:14:18,782
- Y'all see Calvin baby boy?
- Hey, Coley.
190
00:14:18,883 --> 00:14:21,113
You know that should have
been your baby.
191
00:14:21,219 --> 00:14:22,709
I know.
192
00:14:22,820 --> 00:14:26,813
After Calvin and I stopped dating,
he started thinkin' small.
193
00:14:26,924 --> 00:14:30,325
He opted for the Happy Meal
instead of the Super Size.
194
00:14:30,428 --> 00:14:32,055
No, he opted for less drama.
195
00:14:33,781 --> 00:14:37,410
- It's her six-foot Pocahontas weave.
- That's what it is.
196
00:14:37,518 --> 00:14:40,646
She ain't weavin' it up
like most of y'all in here.
197
00:14:40,754 --> 00:14:43,951
Y'all just mad 'cause she got
a little Indian in her family.
198
00:14:44,057 --> 00:14:47,151
Please. That girl got
perm in her family.
199
00:14:47,261 --> 00:14:49,058
Why every time I come in here,
you start up with me?
200
00:14:49,162 --> 00:14:51,426
You know I got love for you.
201
00:14:51,532 --> 00:14:55,798
If you got that much love for me,
tell Janelle to give me my rent
202
00:14:55,903 --> 00:14:57,962
before I turn off the power in here
203
00:14:58,071 --> 00:15:00,869
and have all you ladies
runnin' out screaming.
204
00:15:01,542 --> 00:15:02,634
Bye, Gina.
205
00:15:03,010 --> 00:15:05,843
How come you not
playing with Coley?
206
00:15:05,946 --> 00:15:09,177
You're just my baby.
Yes, he is.
207
00:15:13,754 --> 00:15:16,188
Stop. Say grace first.
208
00:15:18,892 --> 00:15:20,484
Jesus wept.
209
00:15:20,594 --> 00:15:21,686
Why?
210
00:15:22,529 --> 00:15:23,655
Why what?
211
00:15:23,764 --> 00:15:26,528
Why did Jesus weep?
212
00:15:26,633 --> 00:15:29,864
- 'Cause he was sad.
- Why was he sad?
213
00:15:31,171 --> 00:15:33,867
'Cause they didn't let him
eat his biscuit.
214
00:15:33,974 --> 00:15:36,568
Now, you know I helped
raise you better than that.
215
00:15:36,677 --> 00:15:38,736
Raised you like you was
my own son.
216
00:15:38,845 --> 00:15:40,779
Okay. I gotta go, Miss Emma.
217
00:15:41,815 --> 00:15:45,376
When you get back here,
you better tell me why Jesus wept.
218
00:15:50,107 --> 00:15:51,734
You know what?
He probably was mad
219
00:15:51,842 --> 00:15:55,573
'cause they wouldn't let him put
jelly on his biscuit before he left.
220
00:16:17,268 --> 00:16:19,600
I ain't seen you in two days.
221
00:16:19,703 --> 00:16:22,263
And why you look so damn tired?
222
00:16:22,373 --> 00:16:24,534
Ricky, just be a man
and let me know.
223
00:16:24,642 --> 00:16:25,700
I'm being a man.
224
00:16:25,810 --> 00:16:28,142
If you got somebody else,
then just say it.
225
00:16:28,245 --> 00:16:30,907
You don't need to be slippin'
and slidin' and hidin'.
226
00:16:31,015 --> 00:16:33,347
Nobody hidin'.
This ain't no subterfuge.
227
00:16:33,451 --> 00:16:35,749
- I just been busy.
- Doin' what?
228
00:16:35,853 --> 00:16:38,822
'Cause you sure ain't doin' me.
Who you doin'?
229
00:16:38,923 --> 00:16:41,517
And what the hell
is a subter-fudge?
230
00:16:41,625 --> 00:16:44,253
Listen, you know how it is,
all right?
231
00:16:44,361 --> 00:16:46,591
When we together,
we together.
232
00:16:46,697 --> 00:16:48,665
And when we not, we not.
233
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,868
That Ricky, he's the man.
234
00:16:51,969 --> 00:16:53,834
Please. He's a clown.
235
00:16:53,938 --> 00:16:55,997
Be like Mike,
not like Rick.
236
00:16:56,107 --> 00:16:59,338
If I was like Mike,
would you like me?
237
00:16:59,443 --> 00:17:00,705
- Brad Pitt.
- Mel Gibson.
238
00:17:02,429 --> 00:17:03,896
- Bill Clinton.
- Bill Clinton?
239
00:17:03,997 --> 00:17:07,398
He's a freak,
and I likes me a freaky man.
240
00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:10,025
If I had to choose me
a white boy to sleep with,
241
00:17:10,136 --> 00:17:11,763
- I'd have to say Mini-Me.
- Mini-Me?
242
00:17:11,871 --> 00:17:12,769
Use your head.
243
00:17:14,190 --> 00:17:16,215
- What?
- What?
244
00:17:16,326 --> 00:17:18,988
Use your head.
245
00:17:19,095 --> 00:17:20,494
You bad girl!
246
00:17:23,399 --> 00:17:26,027
Excuse me, Miss Watson.
I'm sorry.
247
00:17:26,136 --> 00:17:27,694
Hey, Dinka.
248
00:17:27,804 --> 00:17:29,396
- Good morning.
- What's up, D?
249
00:17:29,506 --> 00:17:31,838
Thank you, Dinka.
They look great.
250
00:17:31,941 --> 00:17:34,102
- Beautiful shoes.
- Thank you, Dinka.
251
00:17:40,450 --> 00:17:43,351
Damn a Mini-Me.
I'll take me one of those.
252
00:17:43,453 --> 00:17:46,718
All I'm saying is we need
to keep our eye on Trent Lott.
253
00:17:46,823 --> 00:17:48,916
We need to know where
his ass is at all times. He racist!
254
00:17:50,643 --> 00:17:53,077
He's the poster child
for stupid white men.
255
00:17:53,178 --> 00:17:56,238
I don't know about that.
Dan Quayle couldn't spell "potato. "
256
00:17:56,348 --> 00:17:59,249
You know what?
You right about that, Checkers.
257
00:17:59,351 --> 00:18:00,409
You know what?
258
00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:04,615
You can be a stupid white man
and get elected president. Twice!
259
00:18:04,723 --> 00:18:08,420
All I'm saying is
if you're gonna have oral relations
260
00:18:08,527 --> 00:18:12,019
with an ugly, fat white girl
with low self-esteem, lock the door.
261
00:18:15,117 --> 00:18:17,017
Lock the door! Click.
262
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,848
Handle your business.
263
00:18:18,954 --> 00:18:20,251
There it is.
264
00:18:22,858 --> 00:18:24,018
Calvin, come look.
265
00:18:24,126 --> 00:18:27,220
They're gonna lock your ass up
for talkin' like that.
266
00:18:32,067 --> 00:18:34,228
When did they put that up?
267
00:18:34,336 --> 00:18:36,304
Guess it ain't no titty bar.
268
00:18:39,608 --> 00:18:40,836
Hold up.
269
00:18:44,513 --> 00:18:46,105
I can't believe this.
270
00:18:47,549 --> 00:18:49,642
- Quentin!
- Hey, Calvin.
271
00:18:50,485 --> 00:18:53,283
You like our sign?
Not too flashy, I hope.
272
00:18:53,388 --> 00:18:56,414
I don't want it to fight
the funk of the neighborhood.
273
00:18:56,525 --> 00:18:59,619
I thought this was a club.
What is Nappy Cutz?
274
00:18:59,728 --> 00:19:01,127
You never heard of us?
275
00:19:01,229 --> 00:19:04,596
It's a franchise, the black man's
answer to Supercuts.
276
00:19:04,699 --> 00:19:06,291
Got ten locations nationwide.
277
00:19:07,335 --> 00:19:10,168
This'll be the first one
in Chicago.
278
00:19:10,272 --> 00:19:14,003
Ten chairs with every amenity
the African-American male desires.
279
00:19:15,727 --> 00:19:16,751
- On my block?
- It's just an alternative.
280
00:19:16,861 --> 00:19:18,726
You the man.
Your shop is legendary.
281
00:19:18,830 --> 00:19:21,355
Only business on the block
to survive the riots of '68.
282
00:19:21,466 --> 00:19:22,933
We can't compete with you.
283
00:19:25,870 --> 00:19:27,064
I gotta go.
284
00:19:27,171 --> 00:19:31,540
Listen, when 24/7 opens,
I'd love to buy you a latte.
285
00:19:31,642 --> 00:19:34,406
I can buy
my own damn latte.
286
00:19:34,512 --> 00:19:38,676
I know what this is.
You're tryin' to compete with us.
287
00:19:40,818 --> 00:19:42,752
It's not a competition.
288
00:19:44,021 --> 00:19:45,648
It's a rout.
289
00:19:45,756 --> 00:19:48,589
Your business will be closed
in six months, seven at the most.
290
00:19:48,693 --> 00:19:50,684
When the bank forecloses,
I'm gonna buy your shop
291
00:19:50,795 --> 00:19:52,854
and turn it
into a more viable cash cow,
292
00:19:52,964 --> 00:19:55,194
like a Bally's
or a Jamba Juice.
293
00:19:55,299 --> 00:19:58,666
We could bypass all the stress
if you would sell it to me now.
294
00:20:00,371 --> 00:20:03,704
But of course you wouldn't
do that... too much pride.
295
00:20:03,808 --> 00:20:05,605
And I respect that.
296
00:20:10,448 --> 00:20:12,109
I respect that, too.
297
00:20:19,724 --> 00:20:21,123
You be safe out there.
298
00:20:21,225 --> 00:20:23,693
I was gonna say
the same thing to you.
299
00:20:27,298 --> 00:20:30,062
What did slick-head negro want?
300
00:20:30,167 --> 00:20:33,068
These guys fittin'
to open a shop on our block?
301
00:20:33,170 --> 00:20:35,138
They're gonna take
all our customers.
302
00:20:35,239 --> 00:20:37,036
Quality Land Development
buyin' up everything.
303
00:20:37,141 --> 00:20:38,938
We just gotta
step up our game.
304
00:20:39,677 --> 00:20:42,237
Hey, Rick, you handled
that deposit for me?
305
00:20:46,217 --> 00:20:49,118
You gonna have to cool it
on these extra activities.
306
00:20:49,220 --> 00:20:52,951
I don't care about your vampire hours
as long as you do what I ask.
307
00:20:53,057 --> 00:20:54,752
It's not what you think.
308
00:20:54,859 --> 00:20:56,759
- I had some...
- Some bullshit to do.
309
00:20:56,861 --> 00:20:59,489
You should've asked me,
someone more dependable.
310
00:20:59,597 --> 00:21:01,121
Both of you can kiss my ass.
311
00:21:01,232 --> 00:21:04,599
Hold up, don't fall apart.
Don't fall apart.
312
00:21:04,702 --> 00:21:06,033
Not right now, okay?
313
00:21:06,137 --> 00:21:08,367
We got competition on the block.
314
00:21:08,472 --> 00:21:10,667
And I guess change,
that's a good thing, right?
315
00:21:12,093 --> 00:21:15,426
Well, it's free enterprise.
This is America.
316
00:21:15,530 --> 00:21:16,622
Shut up, Dinka.
317
00:21:16,731 --> 00:21:20,258
- Survival of the fittest.
- Says the privileged white boy.
318
00:21:20,368 --> 00:21:23,201
The privileged white boy
do a better job on that fade.
319
00:21:24,339 --> 00:21:26,830
You're starting to cross the line.
Relax yourself.
320
00:21:26,941 --> 00:21:28,875
Quit it. Quit it.
321
00:21:29,911 --> 00:21:32,471
Don't sweat it, Cal.
We got your back no matter what.
322
00:21:32,580 --> 00:21:36,209
Come on, everybody, let's go back.
This ain't nothin'.
323
00:21:36,317 --> 00:21:39,081
I've seen this many times.
They come and they go.
324
00:21:39,187 --> 00:21:41,883
We gonna be all right.
We gonna be fine.
325
00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:45,585
- Man, why you trippin' back there?
- Why you frontin', man?
326
00:21:45,693 --> 00:21:47,684
I know you're
supposed to be the superstar,
327
00:21:47,796 --> 00:21:50,788
but don't you ever
roll up on my customers.
328
00:21:50,899 --> 00:21:53,094
- What was you thinkin'?
- You're right, man.
329
00:21:53,201 --> 00:21:56,466
Okay, it's my bad.
It's my bad.
330
00:21:56,571 --> 00:21:58,869
His fade was
a little crooked, though.
331
00:22:01,076 --> 00:22:03,442
It's hard being that good, ain't it?
332
00:22:03,545 --> 00:22:06,309
Look, Cal,
it's nappy-cutz. Com.
333
00:22:07,415 --> 00:22:08,848
It's the professionalism
that is bestowed upon me
334
00:22:11,402 --> 00:22:13,666
when I come into Nappy Cutz
that I appreciate.
335
00:22:13,771 --> 00:22:15,602
Did that boy say
"bestowed upon me"?
336
00:22:15,706 --> 00:22:16,832
That's what it sounded like.
337
00:22:16,940 --> 00:22:18,965
It's the bikini waxes
that I love...
338
00:22:19,076 --> 00:22:20,737
Look at the couches, man,
and the lighting.
339
00:22:20,844 --> 00:22:22,072
Look at that.
340
00:22:22,179 --> 00:22:23,942
Last week
I had me a milk bath.
341
00:22:24,048 --> 00:22:25,640
What?
342
00:22:25,749 --> 00:22:26,943
Oh, baby.
343
00:22:27,051 --> 00:22:29,519
They dippin' sisters
in milk over there?
344
00:22:29,620 --> 00:22:33,750
Give me some cookies.
I'll go over there myself.
345
00:22:36,460 --> 00:22:38,291
Was that...
346
00:22:38,395 --> 00:22:40,955
- That was him!
- It looked like him.
347
00:22:41,065 --> 00:22:43,033
That's a look-alike.
How can they get him?
348
00:22:43,133 --> 00:22:44,464
Turn that mess off.
349
00:22:45,602 --> 00:22:48,036
That little girl is nasty!
350
00:22:49,139 --> 00:22:50,231
Back to work.
351
00:22:50,341 --> 00:22:52,935
Checker Fred, back to checkers.
352
00:22:53,043 --> 00:22:55,511
My boys up in Memphis
go to Nappy Cut.
353
00:22:55,612 --> 00:22:57,603
They said it's off the chain.
354
00:22:57,715 --> 00:22:59,546
They got honeys in bikinis,
355
00:22:59,650 --> 00:23:01,584
be serving wine when they
walk through the door.
356
00:23:01,685 --> 00:23:02,913
That ain't nothin'.
357
00:23:03,020 --> 00:23:06,148
I heard they got fish
in the floor, swimming.
358
00:23:06,256 --> 00:23:07,814
You standin' on top of them.
359
00:23:07,925 --> 00:23:10,587
You could pick a fish out,
get it baked, broiled,
360
00:23:10,694 --> 00:23:14,061
fried, grilled,
fondued, souffléd,
361
00:23:14,164 --> 00:23:16,223
- sautéed, sushied, all that.
- Fondued?
362
00:23:16,333 --> 00:23:18,631
I like that whole massage thing.
363
00:23:18,736 --> 00:23:19,964
That's tight.
364
00:23:20,070 --> 00:23:21,799
Let me tell you all somethin'.
365
00:23:21,905 --> 00:23:23,736
That's not a real barbershop.
366
00:23:23,841 --> 00:23:28,039
That's a fake, franchise,
corporate version of a barbershop.
367
00:23:28,145 --> 00:23:29,669
That's why they got gimmicks.
368
00:23:29,780 --> 00:23:32,408
They ain't got
no real character up in there.
369
00:23:32,516 --> 00:23:36,077
A real barbershop got real people,
real conversation,
370
00:23:36,186 --> 00:23:39,155
and most of all, real barbers,
and that's what we got here.
371
00:23:40,324 --> 00:23:41,985
Calvin, my man!
372
00:23:42,092 --> 00:23:43,582
Oh, God.
373
00:23:43,694 --> 00:23:46,288
Kenard. Hold up.
Dude, look...
374
00:23:46,397 --> 00:23:48,262
I love you, cuz.
I love you, man.
375
00:23:48,365 --> 00:23:50,458
I finished barber school
on Wednesday,
376
00:23:50,567 --> 00:23:52,364
and now I'm working
in a shop today.
377
00:23:52,469 --> 00:23:55,563
That's how family
supposed to do for each other.
378
00:23:55,672 --> 00:23:58,607
- Did Jennifer call you?
- I spoke to her this morning.
379
00:23:58,709 --> 00:24:01,439
Did she tell you that
maybe I'll try you out? Maybe?
380
00:24:01,545 --> 00:24:02,978
I'm down with trying out.
381
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,743
I'm about to be
Rookie of the Year up in here.
382
00:24:08,185 --> 00:24:09,743
That's me, man?
383
00:24:11,321 --> 00:24:14,290
Baby, you're putting me
in the front chair?
384
00:24:14,391 --> 00:24:16,291
The best chair in the shop.
385
00:24:16,393 --> 00:24:18,588
That's how family
supposed to do.
386
00:24:18,695 --> 00:24:20,390
You right, too much love.
387
00:24:20,497 --> 00:24:23,523
What's up, player?
How you feelin'? All right.
388
00:24:23,634 --> 00:24:26,125
Freddie Douglass!
You old school! Come on.
389
00:24:26,236 --> 00:24:29,171
You can do it.
Come on, now. All right!
390
00:24:29,273 --> 00:24:30,604
What's up, girlfriend?
391
00:24:32,242 --> 00:24:34,073
Okay, okay.
What's up, brother?
392
00:24:34,178 --> 00:24:35,736
Everything cool?
393
00:24:35,846 --> 00:24:37,609
Don't leave me hanging.
394
00:24:37,714 --> 00:24:39,807
Mutombo!
What'd you shave your head for?
395
00:24:39,917 --> 00:24:42,886
I'm with you, brother.
We goin' back to Africa.
396
00:24:46,190 --> 00:24:47,521
Beauties.
397
00:24:48,959 --> 00:24:50,119
Hello.
398
00:24:50,694 --> 00:24:51,820
Mia!
399
00:24:54,364 --> 00:24:55,353
Naomi!
400
00:24:55,466 --> 00:24:57,627
You know you know me.
401
00:24:58,669 --> 00:25:00,933
I know you not gonna let him
put them pictures up,
402
00:25:01,038 --> 00:25:03,836
not when you made me
take Lola Falana down.
403
00:25:03,941 --> 00:25:05,203
Kenard.
404
00:25:05,309 --> 00:25:07,470
It's a probationary period.
405
00:25:07,578 --> 00:25:10,741
You understand probation,
don't you?
406
00:25:10,848 --> 00:25:12,042
Who is this orphan?
407
00:25:13,667 --> 00:25:14,531
All right, all right.
408
00:25:15,703 --> 00:25:17,637
Rich, where you at, man?
409
00:25:17,738 --> 00:25:21,174
Ain't never seen nothin'
like that in your life.
410
00:25:22,643 --> 00:25:23,905
Yeah, that's good.
411
00:25:25,346 --> 00:25:26,643
Tighten myself up.
412
00:25:26,747 --> 00:25:29,511
Yo, Big C, explain him.
413
00:25:30,284 --> 00:25:32,616
Call my wife, man.
That's her people.
414
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:33,982
Damn.
415
00:25:34,755 --> 00:25:36,882
Who's next?
Come on.
416
00:25:36,991 --> 00:25:39,892
Have a seat right here.
Kenard's chair.
417
00:25:43,864 --> 00:25:46,298
That aroma is
kind of gettin' to me.
418
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,230
What kind of coffee is that?
419
00:25:48,953 --> 00:25:52,389
It's not a coffee.
It's a chai with soy.
420
00:25:52,489 --> 00:25:54,957
Okay, so it's herbal.
Yeah, it's herbal.
421
00:25:55,059 --> 00:25:58,119
You must be a lot like me.
You lactose intolerant.
422
00:25:58,228 --> 00:26:01,129
Yeah, I'm lactose intolerant.
I go near a cow,
423
00:26:01,231 --> 00:26:04,462
and my behind blow up
like Dizzy Gillespie.
424
00:26:05,135 --> 00:26:06,830
Downright flatulent.
425
00:26:07,771 --> 00:26:09,068
And the smell.
426
00:26:09,173 --> 00:26:11,437
Man, the smell that come
out of there,
427
00:26:11,542 --> 00:26:14,102
it's so bad, sometimes
I have to set myself outside.
428
00:26:14,211 --> 00:26:16,679
I'm not lactose intolerant,
all right?
429
00:26:16,780 --> 00:26:20,011
I have a very healthy metabolism.
430
00:26:20,117 --> 00:26:24,816
I tried to have some of them little,
bitty Milky Ways... the small one.
431
00:26:24,922 --> 00:26:27,254
I ate two of them
at a party one night,
432
00:26:27,357 --> 00:26:29,484
and, man, it just got...
433
00:26:32,396 --> 00:26:36,264
I just couldn't control it.
It was the lactose intoleration.
434
00:26:36,366 --> 00:26:38,459
Listen, I'm not lactose intolerant.
435
00:26:38,569 --> 00:26:42,801
Look, man, all that's fine.
I'm trying to help you.
436
00:26:42,906 --> 00:26:44,999
It's just not fair
for your date.
437
00:26:45,109 --> 00:26:47,669
You gotta think about
if you on a date
438
00:26:47,778 --> 00:26:50,042
and you up here
sneakin' 'em off,
439
00:26:50,147 --> 00:26:52,274
and she's trying to wonder,
440
00:26:52,382 --> 00:26:56,751
"He seem like he dressed nice,
he seems clean, but what is that smell?"
441
00:26:56,854 --> 00:26:59,914
And you tryin' to act like
you ain't got no...
442
00:27:00,023 --> 00:27:02,548
Take care of yourself.
443
00:27:02,659 --> 00:27:05,992
Sir, I am very nice
to black people, okay?
444
00:27:06,096 --> 00:27:07,188
Nice to black people?
445
00:27:07,297 --> 00:27:09,390
You better be,
especially me.
446
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:12,060
I keep my stuff with me, okay?
I cut you.
447
00:27:12,169 --> 00:27:16,697
You can look me up on the Internet,
www. cut-a-mother. com.
448
00:27:16,807 --> 00:27:19,435
That's me right there
lookin' at you.
449
00:27:26,984 --> 00:27:28,918
- Hey, watch it!
- Move!
450
00:27:43,367 --> 00:27:45,699
Your precious love
451
00:27:50,874 --> 00:27:52,774
Your precious love
452
00:27:54,778 --> 00:27:59,078
Heaven must have sent you
from above
453
00:27:59,183 --> 00:28:01,549
Must have sent you, baby
454
00:28:01,652 --> 00:28:05,850
Heaven must have sent
your precious love
455
00:28:05,956 --> 00:28:09,221
Your precious love
456
00:28:09,326 --> 00:28:12,124
To find a love like ours
457
00:28:12,229 --> 00:28:13,423
Stop!
458
00:28:14,264 --> 00:28:17,495
- To find
- To find
459
00:28:17,601 --> 00:28:18,727
With your finger.
460
00:28:18,836 --> 00:28:20,201
To find
461
00:28:20,404 --> 00:28:22,304
To find
462
00:28:22,406 --> 00:28:24,499
Your finger goin' up there,
but you not.
463
00:28:24,608 --> 00:28:27,236
I need to find a new tenor.
464
00:28:27,344 --> 00:28:31,178
Man. I wish
my brother Darnell was out.
465
00:28:44,094 --> 00:28:46,119
Eddie, where you goin'?
466
00:29:00,393 --> 00:29:02,691
What the hell's
the matter with you?
467
00:29:04,964 --> 00:29:06,488
Taxi!
468
00:29:09,102 --> 00:29:11,866
- Get out of the way, fool!
- I can't wait for you.
469
00:29:25,218 --> 00:29:27,914
There's a guy
on the other side of the rig!
470
00:29:31,391 --> 00:29:34,258
Get off the truck!
Get off!
471
00:30:08,444 --> 00:30:10,412
You wanna know my name, right?
472
00:30:10,513 --> 00:30:11,980
Yeah.
473
00:30:12,081 --> 00:30:13,742
Loretta.
474
00:30:16,285 --> 00:30:17,616
Yeah.
475
00:30:26,128 --> 00:30:28,187
I'm not saying
we made out of money.
476
00:30:28,297 --> 00:30:30,891
I'm just saying we need
to step it up a little bit.
477
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,332
We're about to get punked
by Nappy Cutz.
478
00:30:33,436 --> 00:30:35,631
If you don't think big,
you'll never be big.
479
00:30:35,738 --> 00:30:39,538
Calvin, you run a family operation.
You do not need to step it up.
480
00:30:39,642 --> 00:30:43,408
Them clowns at Nappy Cutz, they're not
about to take away your business.
481
00:30:43,512 --> 00:30:46,777
Your shop is
a neighborhood institution.
482
00:30:46,882 --> 00:30:47,940
Come on.
483
00:30:48,050 --> 00:30:51,042
People don't care about institutions.
They got fish in the floor.
484
00:30:52,021 --> 00:30:53,488
Just swimmin' around.
485
00:30:53,589 --> 00:30:57,685
You can get it fried, baked,
sautéed, sushi...
486
00:30:57,793 --> 00:31:01,194
- Who told you that?
- Little Rodney at the shop.
487
00:31:01,297 --> 00:31:04,391
Little Rodney told you
he sawfish in the floor.
488
00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:07,196
Well, he actually didn't see
the fish in the floor,
489
00:31:07,303 --> 00:31:08,827
but his cousin in Atlanta
sawfish.
490
00:31:08,938 --> 00:31:09,927
You know that's ridiculous.
491
00:31:11,356 --> 00:31:13,415
Little Rodney probably
heard it from somebody
492
00:31:13,525 --> 00:31:15,755
who heard it from somebody else
who was at Nappy Cutz
493
00:31:15,861 --> 00:31:18,159
when they dropped their
Filet-O-Fish on the floor.
494
00:31:24,236 --> 00:31:26,932
That's ridiculous.
I can't believe you said that.
495
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,572
Sun salutation, ladies.
496
00:31:38,684 --> 00:31:42,643
Feet together,
bringing it to prayer pose.
497
00:31:42,754 --> 00:31:45,882
And reach!
498
00:31:47,609 --> 00:31:50,077
Butterfly, butterfly.
499
00:31:50,845 --> 00:31:52,676
Bringing it back to prayer pose.
500
00:31:54,182 --> 00:31:56,309
Deep ujjayi breath.
501
00:31:56,417 --> 00:31:58,408
Breathing in radiance,
502
00:31:58,519 --> 00:32:01,545
beauty, light.
503
00:32:02,323 --> 00:32:05,019
Breathing out
any heavy burdens.
504
00:32:05,126 --> 00:32:09,825
The key to enlightenment
is to work through your anger,
505
00:32:09,931 --> 00:32:12,729
not have your anger
work through you.
506
00:32:14,469 --> 00:32:15,834
First position.
507
00:32:18,106 --> 00:32:19,664
One, two, three.
508
00:32:19,774 --> 00:32:22,072
He ain't shit!
He ain't shit!
509
00:32:34,756 --> 00:32:37,190
Jimmy! What's the deal?
510
00:32:37,291 --> 00:32:38,553
What's up?
511
00:32:40,595 --> 00:32:42,722
Lookin' good, baby boy!
512
00:32:42,830 --> 00:32:44,695
Always, always.
513
00:32:44,799 --> 00:32:46,027
Still ain't shit.
514
00:32:46,134 --> 00:32:47,396
Just a little while ago,
he was cuttin' hair.
515
00:32:50,988 --> 00:32:53,889
- Good morning. Good morning.
- Alderman Brown's office.
516
00:32:53,991 --> 00:32:55,458
- Good morning, Maggie.
- Good morning, sir.
517
00:32:55,559 --> 00:32:58,926
- Any messages?
- Yes, sir. A whole stack.
518
00:33:01,432 --> 00:33:02,990
- Good morning, Alderman.
- Good morning.
519
00:33:03,100 --> 00:33:05,967
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, Jimmy.
520
00:33:06,070 --> 00:33:09,471
- I'd like a moment if you have it.
- I don't. This faithful constituent
521
00:33:09,573 --> 00:33:11,768
is in need of counsel,
and I have to provide it.
522
00:33:11,876 --> 00:33:14,208
Reach one, teach one.
Remember that.
523
00:33:14,311 --> 00:33:17,712
It's an issue of vital importance
and it'll only take a minute.
524
00:33:19,984 --> 00:33:22,544
- You have 59 seconds.
- Thank you.
525
00:33:24,588 --> 00:33:27,056
- Have a seat.
- Thank you, sir.
526
00:33:27,158 --> 00:33:28,182
Not you.
527
00:33:31,428 --> 00:33:33,896
I wanted to bring to your attention
a particular concern of mine.
528
00:33:33,998 --> 00:33:36,023
Are you familiar with Calvin's Barbershop
on 79th and Exchange?
529
00:33:38,052 --> 00:33:40,714
Yeah, I'm aware of it.
530
00:33:40,821 --> 00:33:43,381
They're opening a Nappy Cutz
across the street.
531
00:33:43,491 --> 00:33:46,119
Yeah, I know all about it.
532
00:33:46,961 --> 00:33:49,259
Shouldn't we do something
about that?
533
00:33:52,466 --> 00:33:53,763
Why should we?
534
00:33:53,868 --> 00:33:57,201
Competition is
a cornerstone of democracy.
535
00:33:57,304 --> 00:34:00,273
The future is not what it used to be.
Remember that.
536
00:34:00,374 --> 00:34:04,743
But you did say you wanted
to keep that particular area fertile
537
00:34:04,845 --> 00:34:06,540
for small-business interests.
538
00:34:06,647 --> 00:34:10,048
Fertile.
I did say that, didn't I?
539
00:34:10,150 --> 00:34:14,610
This boy is gonna be the governor
of the state of Illinois one day
540
00:34:14,722 --> 00:34:17,247
if he learns to do what I say
when I say it.
541
00:34:18,125 --> 00:34:22,619
Now, I'm not one for explanations,
explanatory things explained.
542
00:34:22,730 --> 00:34:25,824
Write a report and have it
on my desk by the end of the month.
543
00:34:25,933 --> 00:34:28,424
Sir, I think we should move
faster than that.
544
00:34:28,536 --> 00:34:31,369
Think need, not speed.
545
00:34:31,472 --> 00:34:36,102
It's better to measure
a thing ten times and cut once
546
00:34:36,210 --> 00:34:39,407
than to measure once
and cut ten times.
547
00:34:39,513 --> 00:34:41,879
Your minute is up, son.
548
00:34:49,623 --> 00:34:51,784
This is gonna be great
for the neighborhood.
549
00:34:51,892 --> 00:34:53,325
We'll see.
550
00:34:53,427 --> 00:34:54,951
Here he comes.
551
00:34:58,265 --> 00:35:00,324
- What's up, Samir?
- Not much.
552
00:35:00,434 --> 00:35:01,901
- How are you doing?
- All right.
553
00:35:02,002 --> 00:35:04,368
Very nice shirt on you.
554
00:35:04,471 --> 00:35:06,496
We need to talk to you, Calvin.
555
00:35:06,607 --> 00:35:07,972
What's going on?
556
00:35:08,075 --> 00:35:10,475
We've been approached
by Quality Land Development.
557
00:35:10,578 --> 00:35:13,342
They're building a cineplex there
and they're making us an offer.
558
00:35:13,447 --> 00:35:15,506
We're thinking
about taking that offer.
559
00:35:15,616 --> 00:35:17,641
The money isn't bad.
560
00:35:17,751 --> 00:35:20,219
Plus, the money isn't bad.
561
00:35:20,321 --> 00:35:24,348
Stew sold him his cleaners and took
his Viagra-popping ass to Miami.
562
00:35:24,458 --> 00:35:26,187
I ain't mad at the brother.
563
00:35:26,293 --> 00:35:29,524
What's that got to do with me?
You got your mind made up.
564
00:35:29,630 --> 00:35:32,793
No, we haven't.
But I bet if you came on board
565
00:35:32,900 --> 00:35:36,199
and sold them the barbershop,
they'd probably pay us double.
566
00:35:36,303 --> 00:35:38,635
- That would change my mind.
- Absolutely.
567
00:35:38,739 --> 00:35:41,037
- Y'all know I can't do that.
- Why not?
568
00:35:41,141 --> 00:35:42,608
We've been there since '58.
569
00:35:43,644 --> 00:35:46,306
So if y'all wanna sell
and go down to Florida
570
00:35:46,413 --> 00:35:49,507
with them funky-ass voting booths,
you can go ahead.
571
00:35:49,617 --> 00:35:51,585
But I've gotta keep mine.
572
00:35:51,685 --> 00:35:52,379
You're making a mistake, bro.
573
00:35:53,803 --> 00:35:57,068
No, my friend, you're thinking
about this all the wrong way.
574
00:35:57,173 --> 00:36:00,336
Calvin, there's a lot of money
to be made here, son.
575
00:36:00,443 --> 00:36:01,842
Go talk to your boy.
576
00:36:02,879 --> 00:36:05,848
Come on, babies.
Today is the day.
577
00:36:05,949 --> 00:36:08,679
We came a long road
to get here.
578
00:36:08,785 --> 00:36:09,945
Pay attention.
579
00:36:10,053 --> 00:36:11,645
Lighten up.
580
00:36:11,755 --> 00:36:14,383
You come in here some days
581
00:36:14,491 --> 00:36:16,482
looking like Joe Frazier
in Jamaica.
582
00:36:16,593 --> 00:36:20,154
People don't like that.
You're too pretty.
583
00:36:20,263 --> 00:36:21,662
Learn how to cook.
584
00:36:21,765 --> 00:36:23,027
I know how to cook.
585
00:36:23,133 --> 00:36:26,193
Make him hush puppies
or a Spanish omelet.
586
00:36:28,138 --> 00:36:29,503
- Hey there, Calvin.
- Hey, Calvin.
587
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,432
- What's up, Cal?
- Yo, Isaac.
588
00:36:32,542 --> 00:36:34,271
What's up, boss man?
589
00:36:34,377 --> 00:36:36,504
You all know
why I called this meeting.
590
00:36:36,613 --> 00:36:40,572
Nappy Necks, whatever they want
to call theyself across the street,
591
00:36:40,683 --> 00:36:42,776
is openin' up in three weeks,
592
00:36:42,886 --> 00:36:44,979
and they're tryin' to get
our ass out of here,
593
00:36:45,088 --> 00:36:47,579
like it or not,
and we ain't havin' it.
594
00:36:47,690 --> 00:36:49,749
- You know what I mean?
- Damn straight.
595
00:36:49,859 --> 00:36:51,554
So my plan is this.
596
00:36:51,661 --> 00:36:54,323
Fire up the barbecue in the back,
597
00:36:54,430 --> 00:36:57,888
have a little
customer-appreciation cookout.
598
00:36:58,001 --> 00:37:00,026
That's smart.
That's good thinking.
599
00:37:00,703 --> 00:37:04,537
Just burgers and dogs,
free haircuts for the kids.
600
00:37:05,308 --> 00:37:08,004
Show the people
we care about 'em.
601
00:37:08,111 --> 00:37:10,477
Show them that
whatever they goin' through,
602
00:37:10,580 --> 00:37:12,138
we down with them.
603
00:37:12,248 --> 00:37:13,237
- You feel me?
- I feel you, Calvin.
604
00:37:14,968 --> 00:37:15,662
Definitely.
605
00:37:15,768 --> 00:37:18,066
Man, I feel all of that.
606
00:37:18,171 --> 00:37:19,638
It all makes sense.
607
00:37:19,739 --> 00:37:22,572
That's why I got to raise
your booth rent.
608
00:37:22,675 --> 00:37:24,233
What?
609
00:37:24,343 --> 00:37:25,935
You can't do that.
610
00:37:26,045 --> 00:37:28,639
- It's my first day.
- Why, Calvin?
611
00:37:29,182 --> 00:37:31,446
We got to pay
for this somehow.
612
00:37:32,151 --> 00:37:36,781
Forget about it. We in a crisis,
and you can double my rent.
613
00:37:36,889 --> 00:37:38,880
- You don't even pay no rent.
- What?
614
00:37:39,892 --> 00:37:41,826
In that case, triple it, then.
615
00:37:41,928 --> 00:37:45,159
Not to throw salt, but why
you don't pay no booth rent?
616
00:37:45,264 --> 00:37:49,633
I don't pay rent
'cause I don't pay rent. Okay?
617
00:37:49,736 --> 00:37:53,069
So pour out your cup of haterade
and sop it up off the floor
618
00:37:53,172 --> 00:37:54,764
and get some business.
619
00:37:54,874 --> 00:37:58,469
Also, I want to institute
a couple of new rules.
620
00:37:58,578 --> 00:38:01,308
You comin' at me with too much.
621
00:38:01,414 --> 00:38:03,882
That's all for one day.
Take baby steps.
622
00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:07,097
Rule number one...
no more profanity.
623
00:38:07,202 --> 00:38:09,693
I know you about to say something.
Don't even say it.
624
00:38:09,805 --> 00:38:13,468
I ain't sayin' nothin'.
I'm thinkin' it.
625
00:38:14,409 --> 00:38:16,240
Rule number two...
don't be late.
626
00:38:16,345 --> 00:38:19,473
Who was it that said, "Be on
time for something other than... "
627
00:38:19,581 --> 00:38:22,141
- "... before 11:00 at the club. "
- That's what it was.
628
00:38:22,251 --> 00:38:25,311
Y'all got jokes.
My bad.
629
00:38:25,420 --> 00:38:28,617
Kenard, them Jet beauties,
they got to go, man.
630
00:38:28,724 --> 00:38:30,123
Good.
631
00:38:30,225 --> 00:38:32,989
They're my inspiration,
my muses.
632
00:38:33,095 --> 00:38:35,563
He made me take down
my picture of Lola Falana.
633
00:38:35,664 --> 00:38:37,996
I can't cut without the butt.
634
00:38:38,100 --> 00:38:41,228
That's perfect for me
'cause maybe you'll quit.
635
00:38:42,704 --> 00:38:43,898
That's what I thought.
636
00:38:44,006 --> 00:38:47,737
We're going to be more
family friendly around here,
637
00:38:47,843 --> 00:38:50,505
and I want everybody to start
greeting the customers by name.
638
00:38:52,497 --> 00:38:55,489
How are we supposed to know
everybody's name?
639
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:56,862
That's ridiculous.
640
00:38:57,836 --> 00:38:59,565
He's not even showing up.
641
00:38:59,671 --> 00:39:01,730
Yap! Yap! Yap! Yap!
642
00:39:02,941 --> 00:39:06,468
All that yapping leads me
to rule number three...
643
00:39:06,578 --> 00:39:09,069
no more loud talking.
644
00:39:09,181 --> 00:39:10,273
What?!
645
00:39:25,964 --> 00:39:27,488
Watch it.
646
00:39:36,742 --> 00:39:37,970
Thank you, Calvin.
647
00:39:38,076 --> 00:39:41,477
Horace, thanks, man.
I appreciate your coming through.
648
00:39:41,580 --> 00:39:42,979
All right, Calvin.
649
00:39:43,081 --> 00:39:45,106
- Take care, man.
- No problem.
650
00:39:45,717 --> 00:39:48,618
- Appreciate your business.
- All right, Calvin.
651
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:50,415
God bless.
652
00:39:51,423 --> 00:39:52,617
All right, Calvin.
653
00:39:52,724 --> 00:39:54,021
Bye, Horace.
654
00:40:00,365 --> 00:40:01,423
You're next.
655
00:40:01,533 --> 00:40:03,125
What's up, Cal?
656
00:40:04,503 --> 00:40:07,165
Thanks for what you're doing.
We appreciate it.
657
00:40:12,444 --> 00:40:15,379
- Hi, Jimmy!
- Hey, everybody.
658
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,744
This is not happening.
We got an appointment.
659
00:40:17,849 --> 00:40:21,580
You gotta get out of the chair.
Eight Mile gave me this time exactly.
660
00:40:21,686 --> 00:40:22,948
We're almost done.
661
00:40:23,055 --> 00:40:25,717
I'll be right with you.
662
00:40:25,824 --> 00:40:28,691
I'm terribly sorry
about the inconvenience.
663
00:40:29,761 --> 00:40:33,094
Calvin, this is why
black business does not succeed.
664
00:40:33,198 --> 00:40:34,426
We're never on time.
665
00:40:34,533 --> 00:40:38,333
You're always coming in late.
You leave early.
666
00:40:38,437 --> 00:40:40,769
Giving to the needy and the greedy
instead of the deserving.
667
00:40:40,872 --> 00:40:43,306
And double-booking our clients!
668
00:40:43,408 --> 00:40:46,241
Why do you have a schedule
if you ain't gonna use it?
669
00:40:46,344 --> 00:40:50,405
It is 11:02. That means your man
has to get out of the chair.
670
00:40:50,515 --> 00:40:53,643
That means it's my time,
and I'm not havin' it.
671
00:40:53,752 --> 00:40:57,017
Come on, man, you gotta bounce.
This is ridiculous.
672
00:40:57,122 --> 00:40:58,851
Vamoose.
Come on, let's go.
673
00:41:00,092 --> 00:41:03,084
- Get him.
- Sit your ass down!
674
00:41:06,765 --> 00:41:09,325
Come on, have a seat.
Enough of it already.
675
00:41:09,434 --> 00:41:10,025
Sit on down, West Wing.
676
00:41:11,452 --> 00:41:13,920
Up in here like you're from
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.
677
00:41:14,021 --> 00:41:17,582
Only reason you're in here is 'cause
your daddy didn't use a Life Style.
678
00:41:17,692 --> 00:41:21,321
I'll tell y'all one thing...
all y'all are doomed to fail.
679
00:41:21,429 --> 00:41:25,559
It was nice and quiet in here,
the way I like it.
680
00:41:25,666 --> 00:41:29,033
Just hush.
Everything was hush.
681
00:41:31,272 --> 00:41:35,299
Free barbecue... food, fun,
and free haircuts for the kids.
682
00:41:35,410 --> 00:41:37,901
Bring 'em on down.
Bring all the kids.
683
00:41:38,012 --> 00:41:41,743
Here you go, girl.
We should have kids
684
00:41:41,849 --> 00:41:45,341
so we can bring 'em down
to this barbecue Friday.
685
00:41:45,453 --> 00:41:48,581
I think we can squeeze four
out of that ass.
686
00:41:48,689 --> 00:41:50,680
I didn't mean to insult you.
We could probably get five.
687
00:41:52,410 --> 00:41:55,072
What's up, Tyson?
Free barbecue this Friday.
688
00:41:55,179 --> 00:41:58,876
Don't be eyeballin' me.
You ain't hard. I'm just playin'.
689
00:41:58,983 --> 00:42:00,382
Boy, it's hot out here.
690
00:42:00,484 --> 00:42:04,215
I'm tired of handing out these fliers,
but my cousin say I gotta do it.
691
00:42:04,321 --> 00:42:07,654
Before they got his ass,
they was all over there together...
692
00:42:07,758 --> 00:42:11,489
Saddam, Osama, all of them
livin' in a big old beach house
693
00:42:11,595 --> 00:42:12,926
just kickin' it.
694
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:15,794
Got all the money in the world
695
00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:18,266
and some of them ho's
from the Snoop video.
696
00:42:18,369 --> 00:42:22,305
They just freakin' 'em.
Freakin' em all, boy.
697
00:42:22,406 --> 00:42:25,034
- And Idi Amin over there, too.
- I thought he...
698
00:42:25,142 --> 00:42:28,111
No, no, he ain't dead.
No, he ain't dead.
699
00:42:28,212 --> 00:42:32,512
You can't kill no big
Yaphet Kotto-looking Zulu nigga.
700
00:42:32,616 --> 00:42:35,710
- You know better than that.
- Eddie, you need to quit it.
701
00:42:35,819 --> 00:42:36,911
Let me get some ribs!
702
00:42:37,021 --> 00:42:41,390
- Can I fix you a plate, Dinka?
- No, I'm trying to watch it.
703
00:42:41,492 --> 00:42:43,187
You don't need to watch it.
704
00:42:45,829 --> 00:42:48,059
She throwin' it at you, dawg.
What's up with that?
705
00:42:48,165 --> 00:42:52,625
Shawna is a nice woman,
but I don't know if she's the one for me.
706
00:42:52,736 --> 00:42:55,170
Who the one for you? Terri?
707
00:42:55,272 --> 00:42:57,740
You need to let that go.
That's not gonna happen.
708
00:42:57,841 --> 00:42:59,138
That's the good news.
709
00:42:59,243 --> 00:43:03,577
You don't need a loud, evil,
neck-rollin' chicken-head like Terri.
710
00:43:03,681 --> 00:43:05,945
That's what you need.
Go on.
711
00:43:06,884 --> 00:43:08,579
Go on over there.
712
00:43:12,022 --> 00:43:13,182
Go on.
713
00:43:13,757 --> 00:43:17,921
Isaac, run to the store
and grab me some ice.
714
00:43:18,028 --> 00:43:19,859
We're running short on ice.
715
00:43:19,964 --> 00:43:21,989
Kenard ain't doin' nothin'.
716
00:43:22,666 --> 00:43:25,032
Yeah, man, but I asked you.
717
00:43:26,437 --> 00:43:28,462
Don't do me like that, man.
718
00:43:28,572 --> 00:43:30,802
Can you get me
some ice or not?
719
00:43:30,908 --> 00:43:34,901
No disrespect, Cal, but I've been
bustin' my ass in there for you.
720
00:43:35,012 --> 00:43:37,378
I've been bringin' in
a lot of business.
721
00:43:37,481 --> 00:43:40,006
- I see you.
- So why you treatin' me like a scrub?
722
00:43:40,117 --> 00:43:43,280
I treat you like
everybody else around here.
723
00:43:43,387 --> 00:43:46,788
I'm happy you got it goin' on now,
but I need some ice.
724
00:43:46,890 --> 00:43:48,824
Can you handle that for me?
725
00:43:49,860 --> 00:43:52,021
- Yeah.
- Get the ice.
726
00:43:52,129 --> 00:43:53,687
Two bags.
727
00:43:54,898 --> 00:43:56,661
Thank you, Isaac.
728
00:43:57,201 --> 00:43:58,668
Where you goin'?
729
00:43:58,769 --> 00:44:00,498
Cal wants me
to handle some business.
730
00:44:00,604 --> 00:44:02,128
Store run.
731
00:44:03,307 --> 00:44:05,332
Can you bring back
some toothpicks?
732
00:44:05,442 --> 00:44:08,900
The minty kind.
Minty freshness.
733
00:44:09,013 --> 00:44:10,241
Right on.
734
00:44:10,614 --> 00:44:13,777
Oh, yeah. She want
one of Uncle Eddie's burgers.
735
00:44:15,519 --> 00:44:18,613
That is one right there.
That's delicious.
736
00:44:19,690 --> 00:44:20,884
This is burnt.
737
00:44:20,991 --> 00:44:23,016
No, baby, that ain't burnt.
738
00:44:23,127 --> 00:44:24,458
That's barbecue.
739
00:44:25,896 --> 00:44:27,386
See that brother over there?
740
00:44:29,099 --> 00:44:30,396
That's burnt.
741
00:44:30,501 --> 00:44:32,492
Well, why can't I have
another one?
742
00:44:32,603 --> 00:44:35,333
'Cause you can't.
Now, look, it's free, ain't it?
743
00:44:35,439 --> 00:44:38,465
There's people over
in Ethiopia starvin',
744
00:44:38,575 --> 00:44:40,702
and you sittin'
over here complainin'.
745
00:44:40,811 --> 00:44:43,541
- I'm not gonna eat it.
- You sure ain't.
746
00:44:45,349 --> 00:44:48,614
I hate you!
I'm gonna tell my auntie.
747
00:44:49,887 --> 00:44:51,718
Go to the crack house and tell her.
748
00:44:51,822 --> 00:44:54,256
Ain't nobody scared!
Tell your auntie!
749
00:44:54,358 --> 00:44:56,690
This is Eddie.
I ain't scared of nothin'.
750
00:44:56,794 --> 00:44:59,922
You can tell whoever you want to.
751
00:45:00,030 --> 00:45:03,090
- What'd you do to that little girl?
- I ain't do nothin' to her.
752
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,431
Little Moesha tryin' to criticize
my culinary skill.
753
00:45:06,537 --> 00:45:09,028
I ain't scared!
Get your auntie!
754
00:45:09,139 --> 00:45:11,232
Eddie, man, don't be so crazy.
755
00:45:11,342 --> 00:45:14,470
I should've known your old ass
was startin' trouble.
756
00:45:14,578 --> 00:45:16,910
- Hold on, Gina.
- Oh, shit.
757
00:45:17,014 --> 00:45:19,278
- It was just a misunderstanding.
- Ain't no misunderstanding.
758
00:45:19,383 --> 00:45:21,613
I should've known
you was out here actin' a fool.
759
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:26,622
I'm tryin' to teach little
Sister Souljah here some discipline.
760
00:45:29,075 --> 00:45:30,872
Now, it's obvious
the way she bein' raised,
761
00:45:30,977 --> 00:45:33,309
she headed
straight for the peniten-sherary.
762
00:45:33,413 --> 00:45:36,712
Raised? Maybe if you stopped
raising your hand to your mouth,
763
00:45:36,816 --> 00:45:39,717
you wouldn't look like Shamu
of the South Side.
764
00:45:40,353 --> 00:45:42,913
Okay. I see where you're
trying to go with it.
765
00:45:43,023 --> 00:45:45,218
What kind of man
treat a little girl that way?
766
00:45:45,325 --> 00:45:47,259
I wouldn't expect you
to know what a man is.
767
00:45:48,979 --> 00:45:50,241
But I'm gonna give you a clue.
768
00:45:50,346 --> 00:45:52,507
Give you a hint,
Throw you a lifeline.
769
00:45:52,615 --> 00:45:55,140
It's one of them things
you can't keep!
770
00:45:55,251 --> 00:45:57,913
Oh, I can keep a man.
I can keep a man.
771
00:45:58,021 --> 00:45:58,988
No, you can't.
772
00:45:59,089 --> 00:46:01,250
I ain't want you, Calvin.
What about you?
773
00:46:01,357 --> 00:46:03,689
The last woman you slept with
was battery-operated.
774
00:46:04,227 --> 00:46:06,593
So? And she was white, too.
775
00:46:06,696 --> 00:46:09,790
I had a black one, but the bitch
didn't knowwhen to keep her mouth shut.
776
00:46:11,568 --> 00:46:14,662
- Why's she gotta be a bitch?
- Why you gotta get up on me?
777
00:46:14,771 --> 00:46:16,966
- Be cool, now.
- Shut up, Calvin.
778
00:46:17,073 --> 00:46:19,132
- Who you tellin' to shut up?
- You.
779
00:46:19,242 --> 00:46:23,144
Everybody get out of here,
little kids and big kids.
780
00:46:23,246 --> 00:46:25,976
I'm gonna tell you
what the problem is.
781
00:46:26,082 --> 00:46:28,983
What's the problem?
What's the problem?
782
00:46:29,085 --> 00:46:32,350
- You don't know your role.
- Know your role. Speak on.
783
00:46:32,455 --> 00:46:35,117
Is you living
in the dark ages or something?
784
00:46:35,225 --> 00:46:38,023
- Do I look like Gina Cleaver?
- Hell, no.
785
00:46:38,128 --> 00:46:41,791
What's your role, watching ESPN
and holding your shit all day?
786
00:46:43,900 --> 00:46:46,596
Ain't nothin' wrong with that.
Nothin' wrong with that.
787
00:46:46,703 --> 00:46:47,795
What you tryin' to say?
788
00:46:47,904 --> 00:46:51,203
Get your lazy ass
off my couch and get a job.
789
00:46:51,307 --> 00:46:52,899
Get a damn job.
790
00:46:53,009 --> 00:46:54,340
Y'all got all the jobs.
791
00:46:54,444 --> 00:46:56,309
- That's kind of true.
- Shut up, Calvin.
792
00:46:56,412 --> 00:46:59,904
You got one more time
to tell me to shut up.
793
00:47:00,016 --> 00:47:02,075
You got a lot of nerve
charging these sisters out here
794
00:47:02,185 --> 00:47:05,382
money to get their hair did,
and you lookin' like Chewbacca.
795
00:47:08,358 --> 00:47:11,521
Don't listen to him.
You look good, girl.
796
00:47:11,628 --> 00:47:14,324
What about you?
Look at that damn 'fro.
797
00:47:14,430 --> 00:47:17,297
What you be doin',
sweepin' up the shop with it?
798
00:47:20,103 --> 00:47:24,563
I do what Calvin
need me to do every now and then.
799
00:47:24,674 --> 00:47:28,770
What Calvin needs you to do is get
off your fat ass and cut some heads.
800
00:47:28,878 --> 00:47:32,211
How you gonna talk about size
when you one Reese's Pieces away
801
00:47:32,315 --> 00:47:34,215
from Jenny Craig yourself?
802
00:47:34,317 --> 00:47:35,477
What you doin'?
803
00:47:36,186 --> 00:47:39,519
I know you ain't...
Don't get in my pool.
804
00:47:39,622 --> 00:47:40,782
I'm in your pool.
805
00:47:40,890 --> 00:47:43,688
Let me tell you something,
you old negro spiritual.
806
00:47:43,793 --> 00:47:45,784
Wadin' in the water
807
00:47:45,895 --> 00:47:48,887
The next time you snatch some food
out of my niece's hand,
808
00:47:48,998 --> 00:47:50,488
I'm gonna kick your ass,
809
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,761
and then I'm gonna burn
your freedom papers.
810
00:47:52,869 --> 00:47:55,303
And trust me,
I'm just big enough to do it.
811
00:47:55,405 --> 00:47:58,533
Can't nobody argue with that.
812
00:47:58,641 --> 00:48:01,109
Don't worry.
She ain't about to do nothin'.
813
00:48:01,211 --> 00:48:05,545
I got a reputation
to keep up around here.
814
00:48:05,648 --> 00:48:08,139
And that little girl
is a devil child, now.
815
00:48:08,251 --> 00:48:10,617
Look, I know she bad.
That's why you come to me.
816
00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:13,211
She got to snappin'
her neck around,
817
00:48:13,323 --> 00:48:14,722
I got to get back at her.
818
00:48:14,824 --> 00:48:18,954
I'm sorry. You make sure
she get that, okay?
819
00:48:20,797 --> 00:48:22,628
Put one of them links on.
820
00:48:22,732 --> 00:48:25,257
- You think she want a link?
- She want a link.
821
00:48:25,368 --> 00:48:27,529
Which one? Right here?
822
00:48:27,637 --> 00:48:30,003
Give me that one right there.
823
00:48:30,106 --> 00:48:32,006
Okay. You give her that, now.
824
00:48:32,108 --> 00:48:34,941
You make sure she get that
and tell her Uncle Eddie's sorry.
825
00:48:35,044 --> 00:48:37,911
- Me and you cool, all right?
- Yeah, we cool.
826
00:48:38,014 --> 00:48:41,245
You got a little somethin'
right there. Get that.
827
00:48:41,351 --> 00:48:43,148
Now get your elbow.
828
00:48:43,253 --> 00:48:45,016
I ain't got nothin'
on my elbow.
829
00:48:45,121 --> 00:48:47,612
Look like a gingerbread man.
830
00:48:48,591 --> 00:48:51,492
I bet that link
don't make it on the inside.
831
00:49:43,446 --> 00:49:45,141
How'd you get with a girl like that?
832
00:49:45,248 --> 00:49:47,478
Get that door
for little Calvin, Junior.
833
00:49:47,583 --> 00:49:50,211
I got what they call
that savoir faire.
834
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,288
She fine.
835
00:50:11,407 --> 00:50:14,240
Now, I know you ain't payin'
that nappy negro no heed.
836
00:50:14,344 --> 00:50:17,871
- Why you even sweatin' it, Cal?
- That Web site's been in my head.
837
00:50:17,981 --> 00:50:20,677
That Web site don't
mean nothin', Cal, man.
838
00:50:20,783 --> 00:50:24,014
Don't even tell you what
it might be like on the inside.
839
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,088
Come on, let's get ready
for our customers.
840
00:50:26,189 --> 00:50:28,180
- Jimmy, hold it there.
- All right.
841
00:50:28,291 --> 00:50:29,849
Yeah, yeah.
842
00:51:01,591 --> 00:51:03,252
What the hell goin' on?
843
00:51:07,296 --> 00:51:11,198
Since y'all wanna be funny,
no rap before 12:00 now.
844
00:51:11,300 --> 00:51:12,597
Come on, man.
845
00:51:14,270 --> 00:51:17,535
Y'all just clownin' up in here.
846
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,473
- Eddie, where the hot wings?
- I tried to tell 'em.
847
00:51:22,412 --> 00:51:25,176
You need a man
that's gonna take care of you.
848
00:51:25,281 --> 00:51:27,340
I'm talkin' about a good man.
849
00:51:28,051 --> 00:51:29,609
A Muslim man.
850
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,313
- And you that man?
- Could be.
851
00:51:32,422 --> 00:51:35,755
Sorry. Once you a customer,
can't have no relations.
852
00:51:35,858 --> 00:51:36,984
Bad for business.
853
00:51:37,093 --> 00:51:38,720
She just had a pork chop.
854
00:51:38,828 --> 00:51:40,955
She ain't tryin' to hear nothin'
about no Nation of Islam.
855
00:51:41,064 --> 00:51:42,554
- Shut up.
- I heard that.
856
00:51:42,665 --> 00:51:45,225
That pork be callin' me, too.
857
00:51:45,334 --> 00:51:46,858
Let me tell you somethin'.
858
00:51:46,969 --> 00:51:49,802
Nation of Islam is more
than a pork-free diet.
859
00:51:49,906 --> 00:51:52,875
It is the word of Allah
as told to the Prophet Muhammad.
860
00:51:52,975 --> 00:51:55,341
Look, all I know
is I'm down with Jesus.
861
00:51:55,445 --> 00:51:58,608
Watch what you say
'cause I'm holdin' the clippers.
862
00:51:58,714 --> 00:52:01,012
- Change the subject.
- Exactly.
863
00:52:01,117 --> 00:52:02,744
I got a question.
864
00:52:02,852 --> 00:52:05,912
You don't find it odd,
as a black woman,
865
00:52:06,022 --> 00:52:08,547
to have a savior
who looks like Kenny G?
866
00:52:08,658 --> 00:52:10,216
- Kenny G?
- That's right.
867
00:52:10,326 --> 00:52:12,794
Now, his Christmas album
was tight.
868
00:52:12,895 --> 00:52:14,863
Look, Jesus is not white.
869
00:52:14,964 --> 00:52:17,125
He's Caublinasian,
like Tiger Woods.
870
00:52:17,233 --> 00:52:19,793
And you just about workin'
my last nerve.
871
00:52:19,902 --> 00:52:21,699
Pay Calvin.
872
00:52:22,572 --> 00:52:25,439
Speaking of Muslims,
is Ahmad Rashad Muslim?
873
00:52:25,541 --> 00:52:27,532
I don't ever see him wear
one of those bowties.
874
00:52:40,690 --> 00:52:42,248
Sorry. Did I wake you?
875
00:52:43,459 --> 00:52:45,120
Late night of creepin'?
876
00:52:45,928 --> 00:52:48,726
You don't know jack
about me, girl.
877
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,725
You know what your problem is?
878
00:52:54,770 --> 00:52:57,898
You know what one
of your problems is?
879
00:52:58,007 --> 00:53:00,407
- You're bitter.
- I'm through, is what I am.
880
00:53:00,510 --> 00:53:05,038
That nice Terri routine?
Ain't nobody fallin' for that.
881
00:53:05,148 --> 00:53:08,242
A nice woman wouldn't
be doggin' my man Dinka.
882
00:53:08,351 --> 00:53:10,285
Dinka?
Ain't nobody doggin' him.
883
00:53:10,386 --> 00:53:12,445
That boy's in love with you, girl.
884
00:53:13,890 --> 00:53:16,381
But you don't want
a good man, right?
885
00:53:16,492 --> 00:53:18,084
What you want, a roughneck
886
00:53:18,194 --> 00:53:20,560
to cheat on you
and slap you around?
887
00:53:20,663 --> 00:53:22,563
- What about them bitches you roll with?
- Watch your mouth.
888
00:53:22,665 --> 00:53:23,996
All of them skanky as hell.
889
00:53:24,100 --> 00:53:27,092
"Ooh, I met Shaniqua
in the strip club last night. "
890
00:53:27,203 --> 00:53:28,534
Those are nice girls?
891
00:53:28,638 --> 00:53:30,731
- You don't know everything.
- I know enough.
892
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,434
Hidin' behind some tattoos
and a prison record.
893
00:53:35,059 --> 00:53:36,890
- Grow up, be a real man.
- Why you even care?!
894
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,192
Showyou what to do with this.
895
00:54:17,301 --> 00:54:19,667
Take this right up here,
put it on the door,
896
00:54:19,771 --> 00:54:21,705
twist it... pop!
897
00:54:21,806 --> 00:54:23,774
It'll put you in like Flynn.
898
00:54:23,875 --> 00:54:27,003
You know what else you could do?
You get a half pound of C-4,
899
00:54:27,111 --> 00:54:29,602
put a little timer on it...
tick, tick, tick, boom!
900
00:54:29,714 --> 00:54:32,979
Blow up the whole block.
I got some at the crib.
901
00:54:37,172 --> 00:54:38,161
What's goin' on?
902
00:54:40,341 --> 00:54:42,673
- No.
- What?
903
00:54:42,777 --> 00:54:44,904
- Don't even think about it.
- That's what I told 'em.
904
00:54:45,013 --> 00:54:47,004
I said the same thing.
905
00:54:47,115 --> 00:54:50,485
It's killin' me, man.
I just gotta know for myself.
906
00:54:50,551 --> 00:54:52,178
We not breakin' in
to Nappy Cutz.
907
00:54:52,287 --> 00:54:54,152
You want to know
what's in there.
908
00:54:54,255 --> 00:54:55,847
No. The answer's no.
909
00:54:56,824 --> 00:55:01,022
We're not breakin' in.
I will not allow it.
910
00:55:03,731 --> 00:55:04,857
Hurry up.
911
00:55:05,433 --> 00:55:08,163
Five minutes.
We in, we out.
912
00:55:08,269 --> 00:55:11,204
This is like Ocean's Eleven.
This is my kind of stuff.
913
00:55:11,306 --> 00:55:12,967
Check this out.
914
00:55:13,908 --> 00:55:16,274
- It's huge!
- Size isn't everything.
915
00:55:16,377 --> 00:55:17,571
Keep telling yourself that.
916
00:55:21,816 --> 00:55:23,078
Eddie, what you doin'?
917
00:55:23,184 --> 00:55:25,243
Didn't we come over here
to see it?
918
00:55:25,353 --> 00:55:26,980
I can't see diddly.
919
00:55:30,391 --> 00:55:34,088
This is the joint, B!
Look at this.
920
00:55:34,195 --> 00:55:37,323
I don't see no fish in the floor.
Where the fish at?
921
00:55:41,703 --> 00:55:43,603
That's crazy!
922
00:55:43,705 --> 00:55:45,070
What?
923
00:55:47,775 --> 00:55:49,709
You can say that again.
924
00:55:49,811 --> 00:55:51,836
- Goodness!
- What?
925
00:55:56,250 --> 00:55:58,115
You can't fry
none of that, though.
926
00:55:59,336 --> 00:56:01,566
You can play ball
up in here, man.
927
00:56:01,672 --> 00:56:03,833
No, you can play ball
down the street.
928
00:56:03,940 --> 00:56:07,307
Like a brother can't get a haircut
without trying to play some ball.
929
00:56:09,212 --> 00:56:11,009
They got the Wall Street Journal.
930
00:56:16,153 --> 00:56:17,381
Top of the line.
931
00:56:17,487 --> 00:56:20,183
This is what a barbershop's
supposed to look like.
932
00:56:20,290 --> 00:56:22,053
- This is leather.
- Word?
933
00:56:22,159 --> 00:56:23,922
- That's pleather.
- It's leather.
934
00:56:24,027 --> 00:56:25,187
It's ugly.
935
00:56:25,295 --> 00:56:30,028
Lookin' around, it's a nice shop,
but it don't have no character.
936
00:56:30,133 --> 00:56:31,225
Exactly.
937
00:56:31,335 --> 00:56:33,735
What we got across the street
is character.
938
00:56:33,837 --> 00:56:38,103
We got character,
we got conversation, and we got...
939
00:56:40,143 --> 00:56:41,701
We ain't got one of these.
940
00:56:43,013 --> 00:56:45,880
Lord have mercy!
This is pillow top!
941
00:56:47,984 --> 00:56:50,544
Come on, City Hall,
show me what you got.
942
00:56:52,122 --> 00:56:54,249
You're startin' to get on my nerves.
943
00:56:56,059 --> 00:56:58,391
You're startin' to get on my nerves.
944
00:57:00,263 --> 00:57:01,389
Let's crack it.
945
00:57:01,498 --> 00:57:04,365
I checked it already.
Let's crack it.
946
00:57:05,135 --> 00:57:06,261
You got me.
947
00:57:07,371 --> 00:57:08,804
Put the ball down.
948
00:57:16,913 --> 00:57:18,039
Oh, shit.
949
00:57:18,148 --> 00:57:19,445
Hey, y'all open?
950
00:57:19,549 --> 00:57:21,312
No, bro, we closed.
951
00:57:21,418 --> 00:57:24,012
Look at all the people.
Let me in.
952
00:57:24,121 --> 00:57:25,816
Hey, bro, we're closed.
953
00:57:25,922 --> 00:57:28,584
- Help a brother out.
- We goin' to jail.
954
00:57:28,692 --> 00:57:30,216
Two seconds, two seconds.
955
00:57:30,327 --> 00:57:32,921
- Just let him in, Big C.
- Don't let him in.
956
00:57:33,029 --> 00:57:35,463
- We can't leave him out there.
- Then let him in.
957
00:57:35,565 --> 00:57:37,658
I'm trying.
Kenard, let him in.
958
00:57:37,768 --> 00:57:40,566
Put that paper back up.
959
00:57:46,076 --> 00:57:48,101
Yes!
Hey, y'all!
960
00:57:49,513 --> 00:57:50,741
This place is nice!
961
00:57:50,847 --> 00:57:53,839
We closed. Go across the street
and get your hair cut.
962
00:57:53,950 --> 00:57:57,716
Kind of raggedy over there.
Just a quick touch-up.
963
00:57:57,821 --> 00:58:00,984
I'm flying back to L.A. Tonight.
How about it?
964
00:58:01,091 --> 00:58:03,958
- Who can do me?
- Not me, I got carpal tunnel.
965
00:58:04,060 --> 00:58:05,220
I got you.
966
00:58:05,328 --> 00:58:08,024
You got me? My man.
967
00:58:10,500 --> 00:58:14,368
We got Nappy Cutz on Crenshaw.
Love it.
968
00:58:14,471 --> 00:58:15,870
Everybody loves it.
969
00:58:15,972 --> 00:58:19,499
Hey, man,
get these clippers goin', player.
970
00:58:21,478 --> 00:58:23,207
These ain't supposed to be out yet.
971
00:58:23,313 --> 00:58:26,146
This is German-engineered,
titanium teeth,
972
00:58:26,249 --> 00:58:28,740
silent-whisper engine.
Listen.
973
00:58:30,287 --> 00:58:32,778
- King shit.
- They just clippers.
974
00:58:32,889 --> 00:58:34,857
This would double,
triple your business.
975
00:58:36,192 --> 00:58:38,558
You know what?
I'm gone. Have fun.
976
00:58:38,661 --> 00:58:39,821
Y'all hurry up.
977
00:58:39,929 --> 00:58:42,989
Don't steal nothin'
and don't break nothin'.
978
00:58:43,633 --> 00:58:46,193
Just close the back door
when you leave.
979
00:58:49,739 --> 00:58:53,175
Hey, Detective.
We was just lookin' for you.
980
00:58:53,276 --> 00:58:55,801
What the hell's going on here?
981
00:58:55,912 --> 00:58:57,379
We heard something...
982
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:58,913
You broke into Nappy Cutz?
983
00:59:00,550 --> 00:59:01,574
- You take anything?
- No.
984
00:59:04,137 --> 00:59:05,570
- Damage anything?
- No.
985
00:59:06,372 --> 00:59:08,203
Kind of nice in there?
986
00:59:09,342 --> 00:59:10,809
No.
987
00:59:15,114 --> 00:59:18,083
Oh, man, they got
a basketball court!
988
00:59:21,954 --> 00:59:23,319
He's beautiful, isn't he?
989
00:59:26,059 --> 00:59:29,517
I just want him to have
everything I never had.
990
00:59:29,629 --> 00:59:32,462
I know you do.
And he will.
991
00:59:33,099 --> 00:59:35,761
So you coming to bed?
992
00:59:35,868 --> 00:59:37,130
Yeah.
993
00:59:43,676 --> 00:59:45,769
You tryin' to get
something started?
994
00:59:45,878 --> 00:59:47,311
I was hoping so,
995
00:59:47,413 --> 00:59:50,814
but you better catch me
before the rollers go in.
996
00:59:53,786 --> 00:59:56,311
Looks like you gonna have
a little brother or sister.
997
00:59:56,422 --> 00:59:59,255
Put them rollers in.
I might like that.
998
00:59:59,358 --> 01:00:02,987
I got contact lenses... blue, green,
bloodshot red... left ones only.
999
01:00:03,096 --> 01:00:04,461
Ray!
1000
01:00:04,564 --> 01:00:07,499
Just the man I wanted to see.
Come back and talk to me.
1001
01:00:09,735 --> 01:00:11,896
- I didn't know you was workin'.
- Come holler at me.
1002
01:00:13,889 --> 01:00:15,686
How's life been treating you?
1003
01:00:16,359 --> 01:00:17,587
It's been cool.
1004
01:00:17,693 --> 01:00:19,752
Me and my girlfriend's husband
got in a fight.
1005
01:00:19,862 --> 01:00:22,888
He only won
'cause she helped him.
1006
01:00:22,999 --> 01:00:25,058
Good to see you.
Come on back.
1007
01:00:25,167 --> 01:00:26,896
- In the back-back?
- Yeah, in the back-back.
1008
01:00:27,003 --> 01:00:29,233
With the scissors and everything?
1009
01:00:31,340 --> 01:00:32,307
How you been, Cal?
1010
01:00:32,408 --> 01:00:33,340
You been going to church
1011
01:00:35,061 --> 01:00:37,188
and living your life right
and everything?
1012
01:00:38,330 --> 01:00:40,924
- What you jumping for?
- I ain't know what you was comin' with.
1013
01:00:41,033 --> 01:00:42,660
My nerves bad.
I'm light-skinned.
1014
01:00:42,768 --> 01:00:44,668
Can you get this stuff
on this list?
1015
01:00:44,770 --> 01:00:48,035
I'm looking to get high-end stuff
at low-end prices.
1016
01:00:48,140 --> 01:00:50,370
- You know I can.
- Legally.
1017
01:00:50,476 --> 01:00:54,105
You mean like with a receipt legally?
Like I ain't steal it.
1018
01:00:54,213 --> 01:00:57,376
If the police walk up,
do I gotta drop it and run?
1019
01:00:57,483 --> 01:00:59,007
I can get anything you need.
1020
01:00:59,118 --> 01:01:00,949
Nappy Cutz won't know
what hit 'em.
1021
01:01:01,053 --> 01:01:02,816
This is not about Nappy Cutz.
1022
01:01:02,922 --> 01:01:07,552
This is about personal enhancement,
personal growth.
1023
01:01:07,660 --> 01:01:10,959
Expansion.
Not Nappy Cutz.
1024
01:01:11,497 --> 01:01:14,591
Right.
They won't know what hit 'em.
1025
01:01:32,251 --> 01:01:35,448
Come on over here
and get your hair cut.
1026
01:01:35,554 --> 01:01:39,388
I'm working at Calvin Jr's.
Come be my first customer.
1027
01:01:39,491 --> 01:01:41,152
What you mean, "Uh-uh"?
1028
01:01:41,260 --> 01:01:43,057
Can you hook me up with Isaac?
1029
01:01:43,162 --> 01:01:45,187
The one with the "I"
cut in the back?
1030
01:01:45,297 --> 01:01:49,427
You got a 'fro! You can't be gettin'
the "I" cut in the back.
1031
01:01:49,535 --> 01:01:52,129
Condoleezza. With all that
White House money she makin',
1032
01:01:52,238 --> 01:01:54,263
you'd think she could
afford herself a makeover.
1033
01:01:54,373 --> 01:01:58,002
If I was in the White House,
I'd be fly all the time.
1034
01:01:58,110 --> 01:02:01,204
If you was in the White House,
you'd be ghetto as hell.
1035
01:02:01,313 --> 01:02:03,474
She'd have the president
all corn-rowed out,
1036
01:02:03,582 --> 01:02:06,346
talking about,
"U.S., fool. U.S., fool. "
1037
01:02:06,452 --> 01:02:07,749
The president would be a thug.
1038
01:02:07,853 --> 01:02:10,117
She think a head of state's
a sexual position.
1039
01:02:10,222 --> 01:02:12,884
"I'm inviting heads of state today. "
1040
01:02:16,128 --> 01:02:17,459
Oh, my God.
1041
01:02:17,997 --> 01:02:19,259
Please stop.
1042
01:02:24,136 --> 01:02:27,299
Gina, do I look like Beyoncé?
1043
01:02:30,342 --> 01:02:31,366
Just like her.
1044
01:02:31,477 --> 01:02:34,310
I knew you was gonna say that.
Give me some.
1045
01:02:35,147 --> 01:02:37,672
This is like the world
coming together,
1046
01:02:37,783 --> 01:02:40,581
like all the gangs
coming together.
1047
01:02:40,686 --> 01:02:43,382
There's beauty in there.
You gotta love it, man.
1048
01:02:43,489 --> 01:02:45,684
This came
from my grandmama church.
1049
01:02:45,791 --> 01:02:47,759
They might want that back.
1050
01:02:47,860 --> 01:02:51,023
Who's been chewing on this thing?
It look like Holyfield's ear.
1051
01:02:51,897 --> 01:02:53,023
Picture and picture.
1052
01:02:53,132 --> 01:02:57,501
This one get channels 2 through 5,
and this one get 9 through 13.
1053
01:02:57,603 --> 01:02:59,503
Give me the big one.
1054
01:02:59,605 --> 01:03:02,904
Take the little one, too.
You got to take the little one.
1055
01:03:03,008 --> 01:03:06,535
- You keep it.
- Cal, you gotta get this little one.
1056
01:03:06,645 --> 01:03:08,044
Come on, Cal!
1057
01:03:08,147 --> 01:03:10,138
Thought I'd add
a little style to the place.
1058
01:03:12,384 --> 01:03:14,784
That's that Picassio stuff
right there.
1059
01:03:14,887 --> 01:03:16,821
Yeah, yeah.
1060
01:03:16,922 --> 01:03:18,617
Beautiful.
1061
01:03:20,025 --> 01:03:21,492
What is it, a uterus?
1062
01:03:23,862 --> 01:03:27,263
Calvin, I hooked you up
with the alderman.
1063
01:03:27,366 --> 01:03:29,493
What'd you do,
get me some handicapped plates?
1064
01:03:29,601 --> 01:03:32,331
Better. You're gonna be
on the news.
1065
01:03:32,438 --> 01:03:33,530
The news?
1066
01:03:33,639 --> 01:03:35,903
The alderman's taking
a walking tour of the block
1067
01:03:36,008 --> 01:03:36,906
before Friday's
city council meeting
1068
01:03:38,326 --> 01:03:40,521
to let the constituency know
that he's concerned.
1069
01:03:42,030 --> 01:03:44,328
Concerned?
About November, right?
1070
01:03:44,432 --> 01:03:47,401
I talked him into
talking to you... good publicity.
1071
01:03:47,502 --> 01:03:49,993
- You could've asked me first.
- I know.
1072
01:03:50,105 --> 01:03:52,630
But it was
a spur-of-the-moment thing.
1073
01:03:52,741 --> 01:03:55,733
We don't do politics in here.
It's a place of business.
1074
01:03:55,844 --> 01:03:57,402
This ain't no community center.
1075
01:03:57,512 --> 01:03:58,638
You know what?
1076
01:03:58,747 --> 01:04:02,114
You sound just like
your daddy right now.
1077
01:04:02,217 --> 01:04:05,015
We will not be silenced.
1078
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:07,452
When the FBI
gassed the Black Panthers out,
1079
01:04:09,607 --> 01:04:10,801
we found a place
to be today.
1080
01:04:11,642 --> 01:04:13,769
Thank you, Brother Calvin.
1081
01:04:13,877 --> 01:04:15,242
Brother Calvin!
1082
01:04:15,346 --> 01:04:18,577
We will continue to provide
books and classes,
1083
01:04:18,682 --> 01:04:21,378
food and clothing
through our outreach program.
1084
01:04:21,485 --> 01:04:22,611
That's right, brother.
1085
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,280
And when the pigs show up,
they're gonna show up with guns.
1086
01:04:25,389 --> 01:04:28,517
We ain't gonna do nothin'
but show up with our guns!
1087
01:04:28,625 --> 01:04:32,322
Then they gonna start shootin'.
Then we gonna start shootin'!
1088
01:04:32,429 --> 01:04:33,760
That's right, brother!
1089
01:04:33,864 --> 01:04:37,129
I'm tellin' you, every last
one of them's gonna get shot!
1090
01:04:37,234 --> 01:04:38,758
That's right.
1091
01:04:38,869 --> 01:04:41,337
Then all of us
is gonna get shot!
1092
01:04:42,206 --> 01:04:43,969
And all of us
is gonna die together!
1093
01:04:46,744 --> 01:04:48,803
Let's make it happen!
1094
01:04:48,912 --> 01:04:50,174
Black power!
1095
01:04:50,381 --> 01:04:51,780
Black power!
1096
01:04:51,882 --> 01:04:53,645
Black power! Yeah!
1097
01:04:53,751 --> 01:04:56,276
Black power!
That's us! Black power!
1098
01:04:56,387 --> 01:04:57,581
Power to the people!
1099
01:04:58,789 --> 01:05:01,189
Shit, man, them fools crazy.
1100
01:05:01,625 --> 01:05:04,185
Well, if it ain't Lalowe Sharpton.
1101
01:05:05,496 --> 01:05:07,157
My goodness, my goodness.
1102
01:05:08,365 --> 01:05:10,526
The barbershop.
How you doin'? Lalowe Brown.
1103
01:05:10,634 --> 01:05:11,862
Checker Fred, sir.
1104
01:05:11,969 --> 01:05:13,960
How you doin', Checker?
1105
01:05:14,071 --> 01:05:16,232
Lalowe Brown.
Good to see you.
1106
01:05:16,340 --> 01:05:17,637
How you doin', sir?
1107
01:05:17,741 --> 01:05:21,370
My, my.
Well, well, look at this.
1108
01:05:21,478 --> 01:05:23,673
Look what we got...
we got a lady barber.
1109
01:05:23,781 --> 01:05:26,944
We didn't have this
back in the day.
1110
01:05:27,050 --> 01:05:28,517
- What's your name?
- Terri.
1111
01:05:28,619 --> 01:05:30,450
- Sarah?
- Terri.
1112
01:05:32,322 --> 01:05:35,223
Lalowe's gonna have to come back
and let you give me a little trim.
1113
01:05:35,325 --> 01:05:37,190
- Trim?
- A haircut.
1114
01:05:37,294 --> 01:05:40,354
Terri, if you wanna be down,
1115
01:05:40,464 --> 01:05:42,864
vote Lalowe Brown.
1116
01:05:43,066 --> 01:05:44,590
You remember that.
1117
01:05:46,837 --> 01:05:49,362
This is Calvin's Barbershop.
1118
01:05:49,473 --> 01:05:52,636
This is a cornerstone
of the black community
1119
01:05:52,743 --> 01:05:54,574
for some 40-odd years.
1120
01:05:54,678 --> 01:05:57,078
I've been coming down here
many a Saturday afternoon,
1121
01:05:57,181 --> 01:05:58,978
get myself straight
for Sunday morning.
1122
01:05:59,082 --> 01:06:01,812
But I wanna introduce you
to the man himself,
1123
01:06:01,919 --> 01:06:05,616
the man who quantifies
and epitomizes
1124
01:06:05,722 --> 01:06:09,658
the institutional possibilities
of black hair.
1125
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:14,527
He is a potentiating progenitor
in all kinds of fine ways.
1126
01:06:14,631 --> 01:06:18,590
He's my fine friend,
this brother right here, Calvin.
1127
01:06:18,702 --> 01:06:20,260
How you doin'?
Calvin Palmer.
1128
01:06:20,370 --> 01:06:22,895
- How you doin', son?
- All right.
1129
01:06:23,006 --> 01:06:26,373
Calvin, you are a pillar
of this fine community.
1130
01:06:26,477 --> 01:06:28,411
How is everything going for you
1131
01:06:28,512 --> 01:06:31,072
with all this social change
happening down here?
1132
01:06:31,181 --> 01:06:34,548
Well, Mr. Brown, as you know,
there is a lot of change...
1133
01:06:34,651 --> 01:06:37,279
There is a lot of change,
1134
01:06:37,387 --> 01:06:39,287
and change
is hard sometimes, right?
1135
01:06:39,389 --> 01:06:43,689
But if we want to stand
together as a community,
1136
01:06:43,794 --> 01:06:46,592
- we will find a way to survive.
- Tell it!
1137
01:06:46,697 --> 01:06:47,891
- Tell it, Lo.
- That's right.
1138
01:06:47,998 --> 01:06:50,762
You let Lalowe lay it down for you.
1139
01:06:50,868 --> 01:06:52,768
If you wanna stay afloat,
1140
01:06:52,870 --> 01:06:54,269
we got to...
1141
01:06:56,507 --> 01:06:58,737
...you gonna have to
rock the boat.
1142
01:06:58,842 --> 01:07:02,835
Because if they want
to send us packin',
1143
01:07:02,946 --> 01:07:04,413
baby, it's on and crackin'!
1144
01:07:04,515 --> 01:07:07,040
And if they try to mess
with this brother,
1145
01:07:07,150 --> 01:07:09,778
then it's gonna be on
like a mother!
1146
01:07:11,088 --> 01:07:12,817
That's a little rough.
1147
01:07:12,923 --> 01:07:15,983
If you want to stay around,
y'all know what you gotta do.
1148
01:07:16,093 --> 01:07:18,425
Vote for Lalowe Brown!
1149
01:07:20,030 --> 01:07:23,488
Hey, Calvin, why don't you
get me a little shape-up?
1150
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:25,591
'Cause I've been running around.
1151
01:07:25,702 --> 01:07:27,932
- You got a chair for me?
- Yeah, right here.
1152
01:07:28,038 --> 01:07:31,701
Of course we got one for you.
Kenard! Kenard!
1153
01:07:32,576 --> 01:07:35,340
- Let Kenard cut your hair.
- Hold on, hold on.
1154
01:07:35,445 --> 01:07:37,436
Wait a minute. No.
1155
01:07:37,548 --> 01:07:40,711
Get on over there, Get-low.
Sit right on down, So-low.
1156
01:07:40,817 --> 01:07:42,808
Nice to meet you.
How you doin'?
1157
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:45,821
- Wait a minute.
- It's okay. It's okay.
1158
01:07:45,923 --> 01:07:47,982
It's okay. It's okay.
1159
01:07:48,559 --> 01:07:52,620
Kenard here is one
of our prima donna barbers.
1160
01:07:52,729 --> 01:07:53,753
Front chair.
1161
01:07:53,864 --> 01:07:57,732
You ain't had
your hair cut till...
1162
01:07:57,834 --> 01:07:59,199
- Kenard.
- Yeah.
1163
01:07:59,303 --> 01:08:03,239
- Yeah. Let's take a picture.
- Thank you, brother.
1164
01:08:06,176 --> 01:08:09,373
Yeah, okay. All right.
Enjoy yourself, Low-below.
1165
01:08:09,479 --> 01:08:11,777
You just relax, Down-low.
1166
01:08:11,882 --> 01:08:13,747
We on TV, man.
1167
01:08:13,850 --> 01:08:17,581
I know. This is must-see TV.
It's gonna be good.
1168
01:08:18,822 --> 01:08:21,290
This is why
I love this community,
1169
01:08:21,391 --> 01:08:25,054
'cause there's a historical context
for every action that takes place here.
1170
01:08:25,162 --> 01:08:27,153
I plan to die here.
1171
01:08:27,264 --> 01:08:29,960
We're running short on time.
If we could speed this up?
1172
01:08:30,067 --> 01:08:32,558
You can't rush the best, Jimmy.
1173
01:08:32,669 --> 01:08:35,570
- He ain't the best.
- He ain't ask you, man.
1174
01:08:37,007 --> 01:08:39,840
Well, who's the best, then,
youngblood?
1175
01:08:40,978 --> 01:08:44,709
- You the best?
- No doubt. Isaac Rosenberg.
1176
01:08:44,815 --> 01:08:47,545
The best barber
in the state of Illinois.
1177
01:08:47,651 --> 01:08:49,744
The best barber
on this rock we call Earth.
1178
01:08:49,853 --> 01:08:51,343
Come on down to Cal's.
1179
01:08:51,455 --> 01:08:53,184
Our rainbow coalition right here.
1180
01:08:53,290 --> 01:08:56,384
Yeah, this is integration
right here.
1181
01:08:56,493 --> 01:08:57,892
What's up, Ma? Richie?
1182
01:08:57,995 --> 01:09:00,054
You're feelin' yourself
way too much.
1183
01:09:00,163 --> 01:09:01,824
Don't sweat the technique.
1184
01:09:01,932 --> 01:09:04,526
What technique?
You cut like a bitch.
1185
01:09:04,635 --> 01:09:06,762
Carvin' I's in the back
of people's head?
1186
01:09:06,870 --> 01:09:09,270
- Your skills is limited.
- My skills are limited?
1187
01:09:09,373 --> 01:09:11,705
- Where your skills at?
- This ain't the time.
1188
01:09:11,808 --> 01:09:14,936
Ain't in cuttin' hair.
Must be slobbin' Terri in the locker room.
1189
01:09:16,480 --> 01:09:17,640
What? No.
1190
01:09:19,883 --> 01:09:23,546
You ain't supposed to air our
dirty laundry like that. We on TV.
1191
01:09:23,654 --> 01:09:26,020
- What is he talking about?
- Dinka, it wasn't like that.
1192
01:09:26,123 --> 01:09:28,216
...of populist politics.
1193
01:09:28,325 --> 01:09:31,260
- Thug love! Thug love!
- It was not like that.
1194
01:09:31,361 --> 01:09:33,761
Everybody's hatin' on me.
'Cause I'm competent?
1195
01:09:33,864 --> 01:09:36,196
- You don't make this shop.
- I have lately.
1196
01:09:36,299 --> 01:09:40,235
I will confront all of those
forces that are trying to change,
1197
01:09:40,337 --> 01:09:42,396
that are trying
to make things happen.
1198
01:09:42,506 --> 01:09:45,202
They don't treat barbers
like this at Nappy Cutz.
1199
01:09:45,308 --> 01:09:47,242
Why don't you go find out?
1200
01:09:47,344 --> 01:09:50,040
You on that bullshit.
Go find out.
1201
01:09:50,147 --> 01:09:53,241
We don't need you around here
if you don't wanna be here.
1202
01:09:53,350 --> 01:09:54,942
Fine, man.
1203
01:09:56,053 --> 01:09:58,248
All right.
Get out of the chair, man.
1204
01:09:58,355 --> 01:09:59,287
No, you stay here.
1205
01:10:00,707 --> 01:10:04,643
In November, I plan to establish
this barbershop as my headquarters.
1206
01:10:04,745 --> 01:10:07,805
At Calvin's Barbershop,
we're gonna make this institution
1207
01:10:07,914 --> 01:10:11,509
one of the leading institutions,
like a torpedo moving towards the future.
1208
01:10:11,618 --> 01:10:13,245
Yes, indeed. All right.
1209
01:10:13,353 --> 01:10:15,787
Kenard, just a little off the top.
1210
01:10:15,889 --> 01:10:18,551
I really think it's time
for us to move along.
1211
01:10:18,659 --> 01:10:21,150
Come on, Jimmy,
just two seconds.
1212
01:10:27,668 --> 01:10:30,466
My bad, brother.
I skipped you.
1213
01:10:30,570 --> 01:10:32,868
Why don't you just let me
fade you up?
1214
01:10:32,973 --> 01:10:35,066
- How about a nice Quo Vadis?
- What'd you do to my head?
1215
01:10:36,793 --> 01:10:38,454
- Don't even look at that.
- Is that my head?
1216
01:10:38,561 --> 01:10:42,463
I'm gonna kill you!
I'm gonna kill you!
1217
01:10:42,565 --> 01:10:44,192
You a grown man!
1218
01:10:44,300 --> 01:10:47,064
You don't do that to Kenard!
1219
01:10:47,169 --> 01:10:49,000
Get out of here!
1220
01:10:56,712 --> 01:10:59,579
And far from its roots
as a family establishment,
1221
01:10:59,682 --> 01:11:01,843
this was the scene today
at 79th and Exchange
1222
01:11:01,951 --> 01:11:05,352
at Calvin's Barbershop when
Alderman Lalowe Brown stopped by
1223
01:11:05,454 --> 01:11:07,684
for a photo opportunity
and haircut.
1224
01:11:07,790 --> 01:11:09,348
Or shall I say scalping?
1225
01:11:09,458 --> 01:11:13,053
Needless to say, I doubt
very seriously if the alderman
1226
01:11:13,162 --> 01:11:16,029
will be frequenting
Calvin's Barbershop anytime soon.
1227
01:11:18,768 --> 01:11:20,167
Nice.
1228
01:11:35,451 --> 01:11:37,783
- Who is it?
- It's Rick.
1229
01:11:37,887 --> 01:11:39,320
What do you want?
1230
01:11:39,422 --> 01:11:41,720
I wanna talk to you.
I feel bad.
1231
01:11:41,824 --> 01:11:43,257
Good. I'm busy.
1232
01:11:43,359 --> 01:11:45,554
Open the door.
We gotta talk about this.
1233
01:11:45,661 --> 01:11:49,028
- There's nothing to discuss.
- Dinka, I messed up.
1234
01:11:50,099 --> 01:11:53,865
What happened
between me and Terri was foul.
1235
01:11:53,970 --> 01:11:57,201
It should have never happened.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
1236
01:11:59,275 --> 01:12:00,606
I'm sorry.
1237
01:12:03,094 --> 01:12:05,062
Apology accepted.
1238
01:12:05,163 --> 01:12:07,688
Can we discuss this tomorrow?
1239
01:12:08,300 --> 01:12:10,530
You remember Shawna, right?
1240
01:12:11,536 --> 01:12:12,696
Hi.
1241
01:12:13,738 --> 01:12:14,864
What's up, Shawna?
1242
01:12:17,042 --> 01:12:18,600
Handle that.
1243
01:12:19,144 --> 01:12:20,611
I'll get at you tomorrow.
1244
01:12:20,712 --> 01:12:22,509
Maybe the day after.
1245
01:13:15,949 --> 01:13:18,008
You should see her
when I'm drinkin'.
1246
01:13:20,020 --> 01:13:21,851
'Cause I know her.
1247
01:13:24,158 --> 01:13:26,319
Exactly right, exactly right.
1248
01:13:31,165 --> 01:13:32,860
What are you doing here?
1249
01:13:32,966 --> 01:13:35,264
The question is,
what you doin' here?
1250
01:13:35,369 --> 01:13:37,929
Look a little shady to me.
1251
01:13:38,572 --> 01:13:40,335
You come up to my shop today
1252
01:13:40,441 --> 01:13:42,602
and got the nerve
to be huddled up with this shark.
1253
01:13:42,710 --> 01:13:46,703
Don't come in here accusing me
of some malicious and egregious act
1254
01:13:46,814 --> 01:13:48,975
when what you should be doin'
is apologizing
1255
01:13:49,083 --> 01:13:51,677
for making me look
like a goddamn fool today.
1256
01:13:51,785 --> 01:13:54,345
- That's what you should be doing.
- Lalowe.
1257
01:13:57,424 --> 01:13:59,187
Ease up. It's cool.
1258
01:14:00,527 --> 01:14:02,495
All right there, youngblood.
1259
01:14:03,664 --> 01:14:07,100
Ain't nothin' going on in here,
just business.
1260
01:14:07,868 --> 01:14:09,961
- I'll bet.
- It's true.
1261
01:14:10,070 --> 01:14:13,062
In fact, the alderman and I
were just talking about you.
1262
01:14:13,173 --> 01:14:14,538
Well, about your business.
1263
01:14:15,175 --> 01:14:18,372
I undervalued the importance
of your shop to this community.
1264
01:14:18,479 --> 01:14:20,140
That's my bad.
1265
01:14:20,881 --> 01:14:23,076
It'd be a shame to see it
all go away for naught.
1266
01:14:23,183 --> 01:14:26,277
Man, I'm from the South Side.
1267
01:14:26,386 --> 01:14:27,375
- Don't try to hustle me.
- No hustle.
1268
01:14:28,739 --> 01:14:31,333
A hustle implies one side wins,
the other side loses.
1269
01:14:31,441 --> 01:14:33,432
I'm proposing a win-win.
1270
01:14:33,543 --> 01:14:36,706
I'm proposing that Nappy Cutz
never sees the light of day.
1271
01:14:38,248 --> 01:14:41,513
- Is that right?
- I'll turn it into a nightclub.
1272
01:14:41,618 --> 01:14:44,018
Your barbershop
will continue to thrive
1273
01:14:44,121 --> 01:14:48,023
without any interference from me
or from anyone else.
1274
01:14:48,125 --> 01:14:50,218
And this miracle happens
if I do what?
1275
01:14:50,327 --> 01:14:52,557
Not tell people
what I saw here tonight?
1276
01:14:54,831 --> 01:14:56,526
What'd you see tonight?
1277
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:01,000
What'd you see in here
tonight, Calvin? Nothing.
1278
01:15:01,104 --> 01:15:02,594
Nothing.
1279
01:15:04,374 --> 01:15:05,568
Have a seat.
1280
01:15:08,979 --> 01:15:10,537
No, I'd rather stand.
1281
01:15:11,248 --> 01:15:13,216
All you have to do is talk.
1282
01:15:14,584 --> 01:15:17,075
The city council meeting
is tomorrow.
1283
01:15:17,187 --> 01:15:21,351
We need those other
business owners on your block to sell.
1284
01:15:21,458 --> 01:15:23,323
If you were to express to them
1285
01:15:23,426 --> 01:15:26,452
and to the governing board that you
believe in Quality Land's proposal,
1286
01:15:26,563 --> 01:15:29,760
your voice could be
the determining factor.
1287
01:15:30,300 --> 01:15:31,961
At least, I think so.
1288
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:41,142
This could be a shitload of money
for the whole district.
1289
01:15:41,244 --> 01:15:43,838
Not to mention, it could be
a nice little windfall for Calvin.
1290
01:15:45,282 --> 01:15:46,214
A $200,000 windfall.
1291
01:15:50,202 --> 01:15:53,069
Now, that's a nice piece
of pocket change.
1292
01:15:53,172 --> 01:15:57,768
You could take your wife
on down to Jamaica.
1293
01:15:57,877 --> 01:16:00,437
The real one,
not that one in Queens.
1294
01:16:00,546 --> 01:16:03,310
It'd be a nice kick-start
to your kid's college fund.
1295
01:16:03,416 --> 01:16:05,509
You have a son, don't you?
1296
01:16:06,585 --> 01:16:08,450
Yeah, I got a son.
1297
01:16:11,557 --> 01:16:13,855
All you gotta do is talk.
1298
01:16:16,429 --> 01:16:18,021
$200,000.
1299
01:16:18,998 --> 01:16:22,092
I'm not asking you
for a whole lot, just to...
1300
01:16:22,201 --> 01:16:23,998
come on down and...
1301
01:16:26,672 --> 01:16:28,196
...just talk.
1302
01:16:28,307 --> 01:16:30,741
Just talk.
1303
01:16:39,985 --> 01:16:41,213
All right.
1304
01:16:42,955 --> 01:16:44,513
See you tomorrow.
1305
01:16:50,396 --> 01:16:51,886
Win-win.
1306
01:17:17,139 --> 01:17:18,071
You stalking me?
1307
01:17:18,174 --> 01:17:20,540
- Just wanna talk.
- Ain't nothin' to say.
1308
01:17:25,281 --> 01:17:27,146
Let me drive you to work.
1309
01:17:27,249 --> 01:17:30,582
How am I gonna look
rollin' up in your freak-mobile?
1310
01:17:30,686 --> 01:17:34,315
Terri, we work together.
We need to have a conversation.
1311
01:17:35,024 --> 01:17:36,548
Listen to what I got to say.
1312
01:17:36,659 --> 01:17:39,958
After that, you ain't got to
speak to me ever again.
1313
01:17:42,531 --> 01:17:45,056
I'll drop you off around the corner.
1314
01:17:46,368 --> 01:17:47,892
Get in the car.
1315
01:17:49,205 --> 01:17:50,638
Please.
1316
01:17:55,578 --> 01:17:58,012
Terri, I really ain't
been myself lately.
1317
01:17:58,114 --> 01:18:02,483
Ricky, before you even say anything,
I need you to know
1318
01:18:02,585 --> 01:18:05,019
that thug-gangta-player
bullshit is over for me.
1319
01:18:05,121 --> 01:18:05,712
I'm done with that in my life.
1320
01:18:07,522 --> 01:18:10,150
But you don't even know me,
what I'm about.
1321
01:18:10,258 --> 01:18:11,816
I see you every day...
1322
01:18:11,926 --> 01:18:14,360
late, sleepin'
in the locker room,
1323
01:18:14,462 --> 01:18:15,861
runnin' ho's day and night.
1324
01:18:15,964 --> 01:18:18,228
How is that not knowing you?
1325
01:18:19,133 --> 01:18:20,100
Boy!
1326
01:18:21,569 --> 01:18:22,399
I'm just gettin'
my backpack. Relax.
1327
01:18:26,573 --> 01:18:28,598
What is this, a warrant?
1328
01:18:44,558 --> 01:18:46,025
Why didn't you say anything?
1329
01:18:46,126 --> 01:18:49,118
I couldn't tell nobody I was
studying for the fuckin' GED.
1330
01:18:49,229 --> 01:18:50,423
It's embarrassing.
1331
01:18:51,298 --> 01:18:52,595
But you passed.
1332
01:18:54,101 --> 01:18:55,068
Yeah.
1333
01:18:57,137 --> 01:19:00,698
Yeah, but honestly, though,
Now that I got it,
1334
01:19:00,808 --> 01:19:03,299
I don't even know what it means.
1335
01:19:03,410 --> 01:19:05,571
It means you give a damn
about your life.
1336
01:19:07,347 --> 01:19:08,609
You should be proud.
1337
01:19:10,651 --> 01:19:12,585
I'm proud of you.
1338
01:19:14,388 --> 01:19:17,050
Don't start paying me
compliments and stuff,
1339
01:19:17,157 --> 01:19:19,125
'cause then I gotta
give one back to you.
1340
01:19:19,860 --> 01:19:23,887
We'd be all over each other again,
and don't nobody want that.
1341
01:19:23,997 --> 01:19:25,123
I don't want it.
1342
01:19:33,373 --> 01:19:34,965
For the record...
1343
01:19:37,344 --> 01:19:41,440
I kind of liked the old Terri
before all the changes.
1344
01:19:41,548 --> 01:19:44,073
Loud and angry all the time?
1345
01:19:44,184 --> 01:19:45,310
Real.
1346
01:19:46,453 --> 01:19:48,683
All the time.
1347
01:20:06,306 --> 01:20:08,137
Man, I hope you hittin' that!
1348
01:20:09,710 --> 01:20:12,144
Miss Emma, is somethin' wrong?
1349
01:20:12,246 --> 01:20:15,943
Nothing a little prayer
can't handle, or my pistol.
1350
01:20:16,049 --> 01:20:17,346
What's the matter?
1351
01:20:17,451 --> 01:20:21,410
They wanna make this
funky little place into a co-op.
1352
01:20:21,522 --> 01:20:22,887
What?
1353
01:20:23,490 --> 01:20:26,425
I can't afford that down payment.
I'm gonna have to move.
1354
01:20:26,527 --> 01:20:28,791
Don't you own this place?
1355
01:20:28,896 --> 01:20:30,989
Just because I don't own it
don't mean it's not mine.
1356
01:20:37,287 --> 01:20:39,346
You've been livin' here, like, what?
1357
01:20:39,456 --> 01:20:43,586
A long time, long enough
to wipe your nasty little butt.
1358
01:20:43,693 --> 01:20:46,253
And a whole lot
of others, too.
1359
01:20:46,362 --> 01:20:47,124
But it's been worth it, though.
1360
01:20:49,649 --> 01:20:51,844
We can't lose you, Miss Emma.
1361
01:20:51,952 --> 01:20:55,581
It's about time
for me to retire anyway.
1362
01:20:55,689 --> 01:20:58,886
My brother has a nice place
out in Arizona.
1363
01:20:58,992 --> 01:21:00,391
You ever been to Arizona?
1364
01:21:00,494 --> 01:21:04,726
Hot as hell,
but I got some nice hats.
1365
01:21:05,732 --> 01:21:07,859
How can you leave Chicago?
1366
01:21:07,968 --> 01:21:09,697
On the bus.
1367
01:21:09,803 --> 01:21:12,101
Same way I got here.
1368
01:21:23,416 --> 01:21:25,247
Good morning there, youngblood.
1369
01:21:25,352 --> 01:21:28,412
You up early.
They fumigating your crib again?
1370
01:21:28,522 --> 01:21:32,322
I thought it'd be a good day
to walk and see the trees and dew.
1371
01:21:32,425 --> 01:21:33,858
Yeah, they fumigating.
1372
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,828
I had a cockroach in my house
so big, I thought it was Shaq.
1373
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:41,428
You're crazy.
1374
01:21:43,270 --> 01:21:44,828
- Let me ask you something.
- What?
1375
01:21:46,656 --> 01:21:48,783
You done worked and lived
around here for what, 34, 35 years?
1376
01:21:48,891 --> 01:21:52,657
Yeah, I guess 30 and some change.
1377
01:21:52,762 --> 01:21:54,525
I ain't tryin' to clown, but...
1378
01:21:54,630 --> 01:21:59,829
I hope not. You know I got jokes.
Don't you start nothin'.
1379
01:21:59,935 --> 01:22:02,495
Let me ask you...
is this the life you wanted?
1380
01:22:03,739 --> 01:22:05,798
Or did you ever think
you could do better?
1381
01:22:06,876 --> 01:22:10,835
What the hell keeps you
comin' back here every day?
1382
01:22:10,946 --> 01:22:14,712
Well, Calvin, you know,
if I was a bettin' man,
1383
01:22:14,817 --> 01:22:18,184
I'd say the reason I come back in
day in and day out
1384
01:22:18,287 --> 01:22:21,381
is the free chair.
1385
01:22:24,193 --> 01:22:25,353
Get real.
1386
01:22:29,565 --> 01:22:31,465
Hold it!
Get off him, pig!
1387
01:22:31,567 --> 01:22:35,230
...some very sad news
for all of you,
1388
01:22:35,337 --> 01:22:39,398
and that is that Martin Luther King
was shot and was killed tonight
1389
01:22:39,508 --> 01:22:41,373
in Memphis, Tennessee.
1390
01:22:41,477 --> 01:22:44,469
In this difficult day,
1391
01:22:44,580 --> 01:22:46,844
in this difficult time
for the United States,
1392
01:22:46,949 --> 01:22:50,441
it's perhaps well to ask
what kind of a nation we are...
1393
01:22:50,553 --> 01:22:52,248
This ain't right.
1394
01:22:52,922 --> 01:22:55,891
We should be honoring the man's
memory, we shouldn't be doing this.
1395
01:22:55,991 --> 01:22:58,551
Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
1396
01:23:00,362 --> 01:23:04,389
I'm gonna get on out of here.
I need to go check on Loretta.
1397
01:23:05,034 --> 01:23:07,229
She's talking about
moving back to Georgia.
1398
01:23:07,336 --> 01:23:11,238
I would only say
that I can also feel in my own heart
1399
01:23:11,340 --> 01:23:13,501
the same kind of feeling.
1400
01:23:13,609 --> 01:23:15,975
I had a member
of my family killed.
1401
01:23:17,213 --> 01:23:19,204
But he was killed
by a white man.
1402
01:23:19,315 --> 01:23:22,216
What we need
in the United States...
1403
01:23:26,121 --> 01:23:28,055
You be safe out there.
1404
01:23:28,157 --> 01:23:31,092
Yeah, I will, man.
Don't worry about me.
1405
01:23:31,193 --> 01:23:33,525
I'll probably
stop by Montgomery Ward's,
1406
01:23:33,629 --> 01:23:35,995
pick up a TV,
washer and dryer, lamps.
1407
01:23:36,098 --> 01:23:37,395
You need anything?
1408
01:23:41,170 --> 01:23:43,570
- Move, Eddie!
- No!
1409
01:23:43,672 --> 01:23:45,765
- Eddie, get out of there!
- No!
1410
01:23:46,342 --> 01:23:47,309
No!
1411
01:24:00,489 --> 01:24:02,480
I'll stay a little while longer, man.
1412
01:24:08,497 --> 01:24:11,193
Yeah, so after all that
quieted down,
1413
01:24:11,300 --> 01:24:14,633
your daddy told me I ain't never
have to pay for my chair again.
1414
01:24:15,437 --> 01:24:18,099
That's the kind of man
your father was.
1415
01:24:18,207 --> 01:24:20,232
He was a man's man.
1416
01:24:20,342 --> 01:24:22,537
He used to always
call me a hero.
1417
01:24:23,579 --> 01:24:27,071
The funny thing is
I never saw it that way.
1418
01:24:27,182 --> 01:24:30,345
I didn't save the shop, Calvin.
The shop saved me.
1419
01:24:30,452 --> 01:24:32,920
A lot like it did for Ricky.
1420
01:24:33,022 --> 01:24:35,786
I ain't have no life before this.
1421
01:24:37,159 --> 01:24:39,957
As far as I'm concerned,
my life began
1422
01:24:40,062 --> 01:24:43,793
on July 4, 1967,
when I came through that back door
1423
01:24:43,899 --> 01:24:45,992
and your father gave
my black ass a break.
1424
01:24:46,101 --> 01:24:49,798
So I'd be sad if somethin'
was to ever happen to this place.
1425
01:24:51,473 --> 01:24:52,167
But I'd be all right, though.
1426
01:24:53,592 --> 01:24:55,924
Oh, yeah, Eddie be fine.
1427
01:24:57,496 --> 01:24:58,724
Hey, what's up, y'all?
1428
01:24:58,831 --> 01:25:01,527
Calvin, can I have a word
with you for a second?
1429
01:25:01,634 --> 01:25:02,828
What you want, man?
1430
01:25:02,935 --> 01:25:05,995
Well, I know these are
tough times for you, cuz.
1431
01:25:06,105 --> 01:25:10,872
It's times like these when men
must rise up and make the right choice.
1432
01:25:10,976 --> 01:25:13,843
- Is that right?
- Yeah. It's about the truth.
1433
01:25:13,946 --> 01:25:16,642
Each and every one of us
has our own truth,
1434
01:25:16,749 --> 01:25:21,049
a truth that we must live with
for the rest of our lives.
1435
01:25:21,887 --> 01:25:23,320
Is there a point to this?
1436
01:25:23,422 --> 01:25:25,287
My truth is across the street.
1437
01:25:25,391 --> 01:25:29,088
I appreciate the job, cuz.
I'll always love you for it.
1438
01:25:29,194 --> 01:25:30,456
But I gotta bounce.
1439
01:25:30,563 --> 01:25:34,158
Y'all goin' broke
around this mug. Boy, I swear.
1440
01:25:37,303 --> 01:25:38,497
All right, all right.
1441
01:25:38,604 --> 01:25:41,596
And if anybody wanna come over
anytime and hoop it up,
1442
01:25:41,707 --> 01:25:43,937
ring a player, you know?
1443
01:25:48,897 --> 01:25:50,364
All this silence
got my gut grumblin'.
1444
01:25:50,465 --> 01:25:52,626
I'm gonna run down to Berry's,
get me a pastrami and fries.
1445
01:25:52,734 --> 01:25:57,068
Eddie, a man at your age
should be watching what he eats.
1446
01:25:57,171 --> 01:25:59,935
If you don't knock the fork
out of my hand,
1447
01:26:00,041 --> 01:26:02,407
I won't knock the spear
out of yours, okay, Somalia?
1448
01:26:02,510 --> 01:26:06,947
Eddie, get me that chicken tamale
and strawberry shake special.
1449
01:26:07,048 --> 01:26:09,380
Get old Checkers a ham and cheese
on some honky bread,
1450
01:26:09,484 --> 01:26:11,418
mustard, hold the mayo.
1451
01:26:11,519 --> 01:26:13,646
Get me a Mountain Dew
and chopped salad.
1452
01:26:13,755 --> 01:26:16,747
I'll take some chili fries,
onion rings,
1453
01:26:16,858 --> 01:26:18,723
and a pot pie with egg on it.
1454
01:26:18,826 --> 01:26:23,354
Okay, that's gonna be
three orders of "Hell, no"
1455
01:26:23,464 --> 01:26:25,591
and two sides
of "Ask your mama"
1456
01:26:25,700 --> 01:26:29,500
and a large cup
of "Negro, please. "
1457
01:26:29,604 --> 01:26:30,969
Grumpy old man.
1458
01:26:33,107 --> 01:26:34,870
Hey, Big C, where you headed?
1459
01:26:34,976 --> 01:26:37,809
Nowhere.
Just got a little business to handle.
1460
01:26:37,912 --> 01:26:39,140
I'll be back.
1461
01:27:08,993 --> 01:27:10,688
And when they build all this stuff,
1462
01:27:10,795 --> 01:27:12,729
they make it totally unaffordable
1463
01:27:12,830 --> 01:27:15,526
for the people
who live here to stay here.
1464
01:27:17,652 --> 01:27:19,847
Now, we're South Side people
with South Side money,
1465
01:27:19,954 --> 01:27:21,182
and that ain't much.
1466
01:27:21,288 --> 01:27:26,453
So I'm against the proposed
Quality Land development project
1467
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:29,688
on 79th and Exchange.
1468
01:27:33,667 --> 01:27:34,793
You tell it, sister!
1469
01:27:34,902 --> 01:27:37,302
That's right!
Very good!
1470
01:27:37,405 --> 01:27:38,599
That's right!
1471
01:27:38,706 --> 01:27:40,606
Quiet. Okay.
1472
01:27:41,509 --> 01:27:44,171
Before we adjourn
and make our decision,
1473
01:27:44,278 --> 01:27:49,181
is there anyone else who'd like
to be heard on this matter?
1474
01:27:51,952 --> 01:27:53,579
Let's get this thing over with.
1475
01:27:54,822 --> 01:27:56,687
I'd like to say somethin'.
1476
01:27:58,793 --> 01:27:59,851
Sir.
1477
01:28:10,204 --> 01:28:12,729
- What's he gonna say?
- Shut up. Shut up.
1478
01:28:18,078 --> 01:28:19,545
A little nervous.
1479
01:28:22,383 --> 01:28:25,614
I haven't felt like this
since I met my wife's pops.
1480
01:28:32,226 --> 01:28:34,251
My name is Calvin Palmer.
1481
01:28:34,361 --> 01:28:37,524
I own Calvin's Barbershop
over on 79th.
1482
01:28:37,631 --> 01:28:40,361
Been there since 1958.
1483
01:28:41,202 --> 01:28:45,901
And all I'd like to say
is that all change isn't bad.
1484
01:28:46,006 --> 01:28:47,803
Who can argue with progress?
1485
01:28:48,676 --> 01:28:51,509
Better schools, cleaner streets...
1486
01:28:51,612 --> 01:28:54,342
something we need
on the South Side.
1487
01:28:54,448 --> 01:28:56,780
And I want the best for my son
1488
01:28:56,884 --> 01:29:00,285
just like my parents
wanted the best for me.
1489
01:29:00,387 --> 01:29:02,912
So some change on 79th
1490
01:29:03,023 --> 01:29:05,753
is well-needed
and well-deserved.
1491
01:29:05,860 --> 01:29:06,918
Oh, yeah.
1492
01:29:08,863 --> 01:29:12,230
Also, I'm happy that people
outside our community
1493
01:29:12,333 --> 01:29:16,531
are starting to find the value
in our neighborhoods.
1494
01:29:16,637 --> 01:29:18,628
But...
1495
01:29:18,739 --> 01:29:22,368
if that means selling our soul
just to make a quick buck,
1496
01:29:22,476 --> 01:29:24,603
I ain't with that shit.
1497
01:29:29,550 --> 01:29:30,949
It's not worth it.
1498
01:29:31,519 --> 01:29:34,920
That's why I'm not sellin' out...
1499
01:29:37,758 --> 01:29:39,749
...like some people I know.
1500
01:29:47,685 --> 01:29:50,017
Sir, do you know
why Jesus wept?
1501
01:29:53,391 --> 01:29:55,325
No. No, I don't.
1502
01:29:55,426 --> 01:30:00,363
Well, when Lazarus died,
1503
01:30:00,465 --> 01:30:04,424
Martha and Mary,
they cried over his body.
1504
01:30:04,536 --> 01:30:06,561
When Jesus sawtheir pain,
1505
01:30:06,671 --> 01:30:08,730
he couldn't help but cry, too.
1506
01:30:09,874 --> 01:30:11,535
So that's why Jesus wept.
1507
01:30:13,645 --> 01:30:17,274
That's how I feel when I look
at people like Hank Tolliver
1508
01:30:17,382 --> 01:30:19,782
and Gertrude Rose
1509
01:30:19,884 --> 01:30:23,047
and Miss Emma
bein' driven out...
1510
01:30:24,355 --> 01:30:28,485
...'cause they don't fit the plan
of the new developers.
1511
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:33,558
We gotta realize that people
make this community,
1512
01:30:33,665 --> 01:30:36,862
not $5 coffees
and $20 mugs.
1513
01:30:36,968 --> 01:30:38,458
It's the people.
1514
01:30:38,570 --> 01:30:42,768
And once you lose the people,
you lose the neighborhood.
1515
01:30:42,874 --> 01:30:45,399
So if I had to say,
I would deny
1516
01:30:45,510 --> 01:30:50,447
Quality Land Development's
proposal to tear up 79th
1517
01:30:50,548 --> 01:30:52,607
because it just ain't worth it.
1518
01:30:53,518 --> 01:30:55,076
Thank you.
1519
01:30:55,787 --> 01:30:58,756
That's my friend!
That's my friend!
1520
01:31:08,599 --> 01:31:12,899
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Palmer.
1521
01:31:14,072 --> 01:31:16,506
We'll take a brief recess
and we'll come back with our decision.
1522
01:31:24,948 --> 01:31:27,416
You're through.
You know that, don't you?
1523
01:31:36,593 --> 01:31:39,255
- That was beautiful, man.
- Thanks.
1524
01:31:39,363 --> 01:31:42,389
- How much they offer you?
- Not enough.
1525
01:31:51,208 --> 01:31:54,041
We have reached
a unanimous decision.
1526
01:31:56,246 --> 01:31:59,647
The proposal
from Quality Land Development
1527
01:31:59,750 --> 01:32:01,581
has been approved.
1528
01:32:02,152 --> 01:32:03,915
This meeting is over.
1529
01:32:08,058 --> 01:32:09,457
What have you done?
1530
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:12,461
That's what I'm talkin' about.
Money, money, money!
1531
01:32:12,563 --> 01:32:15,293
What in the world
you people thinkin' about?
1532
01:33:42,636 --> 01:33:44,160
Well, I'll be.
1533
01:33:49,109 --> 01:33:50,872
How you gonna leave town
without givin' my ring back?
1534
01:33:52,295 --> 01:33:54,263
I've been lookin'
for your ass for 35 years.
1535
01:33:54,364 --> 01:33:56,958
And I've been carrying
that cheap-ass thing with me
1536
01:33:57,067 --> 01:33:59,058
'cause I knew
that's all you wanted.
1537
01:33:59,169 --> 01:34:02,969
Cheap? You saddity ho,
give me my shit.
1538
01:34:03,073 --> 01:34:04,700
- You ain't changed.
- You ain't, either.
1539
01:34:07,944 --> 01:34:09,969
Piece of shit, my ass.
1540
01:34:17,287 --> 01:34:19,482
- Come here, girl.
- No, you come here.
1541
01:34:19,589 --> 01:34:21,489
- You come here.
- No, you come here.
1542
01:34:21,591 --> 01:34:24,025
- Get your butt over here.
- No, you come here.
1543
01:34:24,127 --> 01:34:26,459
Look at you.
Lord have mercy.
1544
01:34:26,563 --> 01:34:28,030
You look good.
1545
01:34:31,534 --> 01:34:33,593
You look pretty, too.
1546
01:34:34,271 --> 01:34:37,900
- Don't make me chase your ass again.
- I like when you chase me.
1547
01:34:38,008 --> 01:34:40,806
I been 35 years
chasin' after you.
1548
01:34:42,279 --> 01:34:45,442
You still got that mattress
on the floor?
1549
01:34:47,217 --> 01:34:48,946
What you thinkin'?
1550
01:34:49,052 --> 01:34:52,886
We might be able to get down there.
I don't know if we gonna get up.
1551
01:34:54,024 --> 01:34:56,049
Nothin' to worry about.
They ain't even real Chicago barbers.
1552
01:34:57,777 --> 01:34:59,472
- Mornin', fellas.
- Mornin', young fellow.
1553
01:34:59,578 --> 01:35:02,411
- You finally got a day off?
- I quit.
1554
01:35:02,515 --> 01:35:04,415
- They fired you?
- No, no.
1555
01:35:04,517 --> 01:35:06,075
You know you got fired.
1556
01:35:06,185 --> 01:35:08,653
Look at you...
your shirt's still smokin'.
1557
01:35:08,754 --> 01:35:11,814
No, I quit on principle.
Politics ain't my thing.
1558
01:35:11,924 --> 01:35:15,451
What's going on here?
Look at you.
1559
01:35:15,561 --> 01:35:17,461
Well, lookit here.
If it ain't Bobby and Whitney.
1560
01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:21,314
Don't try
the opposite-direction thing.
1561
01:35:21,416 --> 01:35:22,906
Richard and I are just friends.
1562
01:35:23,018 --> 01:35:24,485
"Richard. "
1563
01:35:24,586 --> 01:35:26,816
It's "Richard" at work
and "Big Daddy" in the bedroom.
1564
01:35:26,922 --> 01:35:30,414
Listen, little man, I got a daddy.
I don't need another one.
1565
01:35:30,525 --> 01:35:32,652
So keep your mouth shut
before I punch you in it.
1566
01:35:32,761 --> 01:35:35,093
She's back.
1567
01:35:35,197 --> 01:35:37,062
- What you doin' here?
- He got fired.
1568
01:35:37,165 --> 01:35:38,530
I did not get fired.
1569
01:35:40,435 --> 01:35:41,561
All right, fellas, how you doin'?
1570
01:35:43,289 --> 01:35:44,313
Clown.
1571
01:35:47,426 --> 01:35:48,984
Clown!
1572
01:35:49,094 --> 01:35:52,188
Well, Jimmy,
first chair is open.
1573
01:35:52,831 --> 01:35:56,494
Your old chair is open.
Quiet as it's kept.
1574
01:35:56,602 --> 01:35:58,593
I don't know how long
we gonna be open.
1575
01:35:58,704 --> 01:36:00,865
We gonna find out today.
1576
01:36:12,317 --> 01:36:15,115
- Hey, Calvin.
- Good morning.
1577
01:36:28,467 --> 01:36:29,695
All right!
1578
01:36:31,236 --> 01:36:33,568
My chair open.
Come on.
1579
01:36:37,409 --> 01:36:38,569
Snap.
1580
01:36:38,677 --> 01:36:41,407
What the hell he do?
1581
01:36:41,513 --> 01:36:43,344
Well, I'll be da...
1582
01:36:44,016 --> 01:36:46,985
Hold on. Where the hell
is my uterus?
1583
01:36:47,086 --> 01:36:49,520
In the Dumpster
with the rest of that mess.
1584
01:36:49,621 --> 01:36:51,589
If we goin' out,
we goin' out like us.
1585
01:36:51,690 --> 01:36:52,816
That's right.
1586
01:36:54,159 --> 01:36:56,423
- We back, Big C?
- Yup.
1587
01:36:56,528 --> 01:36:58,587
- What you doin' here?
- He got fired.
1588
01:36:58,697 --> 01:37:00,858
- Whatever.
- You quit?
1589
01:37:02,034 --> 01:37:03,592
I ain't a politician.
1590
01:37:04,937 --> 01:37:07,838
- Don't tell me you quit.
- What was I supposed to do?
1591
01:37:07,940 --> 01:37:10,568
Is Lalowe Brown
the only politician in Chicago?
1592
01:37:19,151 --> 01:37:21,346
Listen, Cal...
1593
01:37:21,453 --> 01:37:24,115
Don't even worry about it.
Don't worry about it.
1594
01:37:24,823 --> 01:37:26,313
Good to have you back.
1595
01:37:27,192 --> 01:37:28,352
Good to be back.
1596
01:37:28,460 --> 01:37:31,258
Archie Bunker and George Jefferson
back together again.
1597
01:37:33,265 --> 01:37:35,961
- Respect, man.
- All right, respect.
1598
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:44,138
Yo, what's up?
1599
01:38:40,399 --> 01:38:43,368
- What's happenin', y'all?
- What's goin' on?
1600
01:38:43,468 --> 01:38:44,992
Can somebody tighten me up?
1601
01:38:45,103 --> 01:38:47,298
Come on over here, Wakefield.
Sit down.
1602
01:38:47,406 --> 01:38:48,805
Serve you right.
1603
01:38:48,907 --> 01:38:50,772
What's up, Cal?
1604
01:38:50,876 --> 01:38:52,810
What's up, y'all?
Quick lineup?
1605
01:38:52,911 --> 01:38:53,878
What's happenin'?
1606
01:38:53,979 --> 01:38:55,344
I got you, playboy.
1607
01:38:55,447 --> 01:38:59,042
Calvin, I like
what you said yesterday.
1608
01:38:59,151 --> 01:39:00,641
What's up, man?
1609
01:39:01,653 --> 01:39:03,314
Dinka, can you hook me up?
1610
01:39:03,422 --> 01:39:05,856
Yes, sir.
No problem.
1611
01:39:05,958 --> 01:39:07,550
Leave my customers alone.
1612
01:39:07,659 --> 01:39:09,251
That's Rick's.
1613
01:39:12,731 --> 01:39:15,199
Hey, Rick, I'm next with you.
1614
01:39:15,300 --> 01:39:17,291
All right.
Whatever you want here.
1615
01:39:17,402 --> 01:39:19,996
It looks to me
like the village has spoken.
1616
01:39:20,606 --> 01:39:24,098
It's okay.
Just a minor setback.
1617
01:39:25,077 --> 01:39:26,374
Minor.
1618
01:39:26,478 --> 01:39:28,105
We can get through this.
1619
01:39:31,683 --> 01:39:32,877
"We"?
1620
01:39:34,586 --> 01:39:38,352
Young man, you're on your own.
1621
01:39:39,891 --> 01:39:41,381
Remember that.
1622
01:39:47,232 --> 01:39:48,995
Hey, Isaac, play somethin'.
1623
01:39:49,101 --> 01:39:52,730
Anything but R. Kelly. Please.
Somethin' wrong with that boy.
1624
01:39:52,838 --> 01:39:56,001
He need some serious help.
We ain't listenin' to no R. Kelly.
1625
01:39:56,108 --> 01:39:59,168
Hold, now. Don't start
talkin' about R. Kelly.
1626
01:39:59,278 --> 01:40:01,508
I saw the tape.
Y'all see the tape?
1627
01:40:01,613 --> 01:40:03,877
- Yeah, I saw the tape.
- How that boy gonna say it ain't him?
1628
01:40:03,982 --> 01:40:07,349
You can't believe everything.
The media likes to spin stuff.
1629
01:40:07,452 --> 01:40:09,044
- That was him.
- You don't know.
1630
01:40:09,154 --> 01:40:11,748
- I think he was set up.
- He was set up.
1631
01:40:11,857 --> 01:40:15,725
He set up the camera.
That's what he did!
1632
01:40:15,827 --> 01:40:19,627
He had his head so far
up that girl's behind,
1633
01:40:19,731 --> 01:40:21,358
you thought it was Groundhog Day.
1634
01:40:21,466 --> 01:40:24,594
But that ain't him.
It ain't just him.
1635
01:40:24,703 --> 01:40:27,570
Michael Jackson... his problem
is he got a Ferris wheel.
1636
01:40:27,673 --> 01:40:31,040
How you gonna be a pedophile
with a Ferris wheel?
1637
01:40:31,143 --> 01:40:35,102
Kobe Bryant... everybody thought
he was Mr. Goody Two-shoes.
1638
01:40:35,213 --> 01:40:37,841
Come to find out
he ain't have on no shoes.
1639
01:40:37,949 --> 01:40:39,974
He didn't have on
no socks, either.
1640
01:40:40,085 --> 01:40:41,609
Man, and Luther Vandross.
1641
01:40:44,356 --> 01:40:45,323
You done gone too goddamn far.
1642
01:40:46,675 --> 01:40:49,371
Don't talk about
Luther Vandross, okay?
1643
01:40:49,477 --> 01:40:51,001
Luther's sick, man.
1644
01:40:52,113 --> 01:40:54,673
- I can't talk about Luther Vandross?
- No!
1645
01:40:54,783 --> 01:40:58,219
Everybody in here sayin'
I can't talk about Luther Vandross?
1646
01:40:58,319 --> 01:40:59,718
No!
1647
01:40:59,821 --> 01:41:01,880
I can't talk
about Luther Vandross?
1648
01:41:01,990 --> 01:41:04,857
What you gonna do
about it, then?
1649
01:41:05,493 --> 01:41:08,656
Eddie, that's what I'm talkin' about.
That's enough!
1650
01:41:09,030 --> 01:41:10,258
That's enough!
