Yeah. Do you folks want a lift somewhere?
- Where you from? - London.
- Me too! - Really?
- Yeah! - That's terrific.
Hop in me car. Let's go then. Come on. Jump in. Let's go.
- Oh, this is great. - Hey, would you scoot over a smidgen?
Sorry about that. Cheers, mate.
- Nick Beam. - Where we headed?
L.A.
City of Angels.
So where you plan on stayin' tonight?
- I'll just sleep in the car. - Y eah, right.
You can stay at my place, brother.
Thanks. Well, just for the night.
What? Did you think I was asking you to move in?
- No, I was just sayin'-- - Please, Mr Beam.
- Stay with me forever. - Just shut up.
- Mr Beam. - Shut up.
- Mr Beam, Mr Beam, Mr Beam. - You know how to shut up?
- Mr Beam. - Is it in your vocabulary?
- Stay with me forever, Mr Beam. - Is it possible? Do you ever shut up?
Will you stay with me forever, Mr Beam?
Look here. When you meet my wife...
she don't know nothin' about my sideline gig.
- You mean she doesn't know you're a thief? - Hey, I'm not a thief, okay?
I just dabble in future used goods.
- Well, what does she think you do all day? - Look for work, man.
Maybe if you did look for work, you wouldn't have to steal.
Don't judge me.
You stepped on my shoe.
See, I don't usually get in this late.
Baby, am I glad to see you.
No, no, no. No, talk to me. Explain this to me now.
I got mugged.
- Okay, I didn't get mugged. - I got--
- I got mugged. He got beat up. - Thank--
Remember how I was tellin' you I had a job interview?
Baby, that's him. He right there.
That's the player right there.
My name's Nick. Nick Beam. Nice to meet you.
When are you gonna stop gettin' into trouble, Terrance?
- Terrance? - "T."
Okay? My friends call me "T." You can kiss my ass. Boo!
- Okay, Terrance. - Oh, Mama.
Please go on back to bed, Mama.
What kind of man stays out till 2:30 in the morning...
then comes back lookin' like a bruised turd?
- Mama, I ain't-- - Don't you talk back.
Don't talk back to your mother.
W-- What-- What'd I do?
You got that slap 'cause you with him.
- And I know you're part of whatever badness he's into. - Mama, enough.
You got some explainin' to do in the morning, Mr Gentleman.
Now you think on that.
Why do you keep on smackin' me, Mama?
Okay.
- Shh. - No, go ahead. Go ahead.
- Okay. - Oh.
Okay, now you come here. Come here.
Mama didn't have to smack me three times.
- We gotta move out of here. - I know.
- I heard gunshots.
Hey, there, boy. Hey, what you doing up this late, pal?
Huh? What's up? What are you doing up this late?
Oh, honey, we woke you.
Now look, don't worry. Give Daddy a kiss. Come on.
Don't worry. I ain't gonna let nothin' happen to y'all. You know that, right?
- What happened to your face? - No, I'm cool, little man.
Hey, you do your homework?
- Yes, sir. - I said, did you do your homework?
- Hmm? Hmm? - Y-- Yes, sir.
- What about you, little miss? Did you do all your homework? - I don't have any homework.
You don't have no homework? All right, time to go back to bed. Let's go.
Hut-two-three-four Make a right at the right door
Make your choice 'cause you got to grow up to be successful
- I hope this isn't an inconvenience for you. - Not at all.
You seem like a nice man. Terrance can use a few of those in his life.
- Good night. - Good night.
Thanks.
Hey.
You know, I never noticed before, but you got really nice eyes.
- Shut up! - But you do.
Let's get this over with. I can't believe it. I'm committing armed robbery for two flashlights.
Hey, don't worry about it. Let's go.
Freeze, motherfucker!
You move your ass so much as an inch, I'll blow it off!
- You hear me, motherfucker? - Hey. - You hear me? What?
- Why you acting so mean? - Hey, look, man. Now ain't the fuckin' time, all right?
- You say scary shit, it scares 'em. - Yeah, but you have a gun.
Plus, what you're doing is a stereotypical robber thing.
I mean, it's a lot scarier if someone with a gun is calm and cool and collected, man.
- That's bullshit, man. Don't-- - Here.
Excuse me, sir. Come here.
Come here. Come here.
Now, look, Henry...
we're gonna take some things outta here...
and you're just gonna stand there.
- You got a problem with that? - No.
Good.
Now, honestly, which one did you think was scarier?
- Honestly? - Mm-hmm.
He was scarier.
Really? You didn't find what he did contrived?
- No. It was scary. - Well, what part?
Well, the, uh, "Freeze, motherfucker" part was scary.
And then he led me to believe that if I moved my ass...
it, it might be blown off.
- You were scary too. - Oh, come on. You're just saying that. You don't have to lie.
No, I'm not. I thought you were very scary.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Well, thank you, Henry. - Yo, check it out.
They're flashlights with A.M./F.M. radio on it.
They all that. You can listen to your music while the light's on, boy.
All right, all right!
Come on. Come on.
Freeze, sucker-bitch!
That was much better.
Thank you, Henry. See ya later now.
What the hell is "sucker-bitch"?
I wanna live in the jungle
Where you don't got to wear no clothes
And they got no boutiques
Nothin' chic
In the jungle they don't have no disco
Y o, yo, Rig!
Hey, yo, Rig!
Y eah, come on over here and meet Ginger and Mary Ann.
Ow! God!
Charlie, we gotta go!
Go, go, go, go, go, go
- Break, break - Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
- Hey, Nick, what floor is it on? - Fifteenth.
- What-- What-- What fifteenth? - Come on.
Why can't we just use the elevator?
- 'Cause there's a guard that patrols the building. - This is bullshit!
Come on, man. It's Saturday night. They're not gonna be there anyway.
Look, I know we're gonna go back Monday and we're gonna get him.
I just wanna check it out. Take a left here, will you?
You seriously busted up my party. You know that.
Those girls were attracted to you. I mean, Christ's sake, they're only human.
-You're a handsome man. We will go back. -I'll hold you to that.
- Okay. - Mm-hmm. What's the matter with you?
- You sharp. - Okay. - Yeah.
Beat you.
- I carried the damn bag. - I still beat you.
Beat me at what? Climbing steps?
Guess we'll call you the "Step King."
Oh, shit.
No problem. I know the code.
- What? - Come on. Come on.
Shit! That asshole must've changed the code.
Step aside. Let me take a look. Let me take a look.
Okay, let me look. Mm-hmm.
- What are you gonna do? - You got 12 possible stations here. You're only using seven.
I'm gonna make the other five stations active, run a test mode...
and force the system into rotation.
What does that mean?
We got five minutes.
Here. Put on your mask.
Is that mask sweaty? I think that's the one I hid behind my balls.
All right.
- Y eah, all right. - All right, all right.
Ooh, yeah. Let's go. We got three minutes. Let's go.
- Lookin' good. - Y eah.
Put the money in there. Let's go. All right. Let's go.
Here we go. Money. Money.
Let's go. Mask, mask.
Let's go, baby. Let's go, baby. Let's go!
What the hell are you doin'? Nick?
Okay, that's real clever, Nick. Let's go.
Come on, man.
This is very nice. It's very nice. It's very nice.
Oh. I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful piece of shit.
Nick. Nick!
Very nice. Very nice. Very nice.
Yeah!
That's great. That's great. You done cut the dick off a statue.
How's it feel, Phillip?
You had it all, but it wasn't enough for you. You had to mess with me.
Nobody messes with Nick Beam.
I feel lucky
I just feel that way
I'm on a bus to Atlantic City
Later on today
- Your face, man. You showed your face. - It doesn't matter.
It does matter. They catch you, they catch me. It damn well matters!
- I'm a winner - Hey, man, look at me.
Look at me, man. I'm not goin' down for this shit.
And now I know
Why I've been sent
Little rump shaker She can really shake and bake
She's got skills
- Watch her slippin' and a slidin' - Here, man!
- Makin' booty left to right - Here!
She's got skills
Hmm. The alarm must've been set.
Addressing the groove I see you're drinkin' again
You're smokin' smack inside your cigarettes and lookin' pale and thin
It's a shame
It's a pity in New York City
Well
Well, well, well well, well
Something has changed
The way these people think
Hey there, lonely girl
Lonely girl
Let me make your broken heart like new
- Oh, shit. - Hey there, lonely--
White people.
Our dates.
Ohh, shit.
Oh-ho-ho. Look at this, man!
Mama-say, mama-sa, makusa! Oh, smack me two times!
Calm down.
My son is going to the best schools.
My daughter, she ain't even gonna know what a food stamp is.
My wife, we goin' out all the time.
All the time!
- What's wrong with you, man? - Nothing.
You sweatin' that bullshit, ain't you? You sweatin' that bullshit.
You did what you had to do to that guy, man. Don't worry about it.
All right? Put that shit behind you, man. Where you goin'?
Where you goin'? Where you goin'?
I'm just gonna-- I'm just gonna take a walk.
All right. Well, hurry back.
I got willpower, but I don't know how much.
You know what I'm sayin'? Yeah.
There is somethin'
On your mind
By the way you look at me
There is somethin'
On your mind, honey
Did you ever do somethin' that you thought would make you feel great?
In a weird way, you almost feel worse.
Revenge, huh? Some things hurt no matter what.
That must be a fact of life.
- And what you're thinkin' - Hi!
Hi! Nick.
I can't believe it. What are you doin' here?
- Danielle. - Oops.
I don't know what I'm doin' here.
- What are you doin' here? - Well, Sheila, my best friend--
Well, she used to be my best friend. I guess, technically, Marcy would be my best friend.
I mean, they both think they're my best friend, which is okay by me.
But once I did have this nightmare where Sheila and Marcy are sitting...
right next to each other, and this Eskimo guy comes over and says, "Pick."
I thought I was gonna die. I mean, an Eskimo guy. What is that all about?
Anyway, Sheila, she's visiting and she's staying here.
And so I thought I'd take her to a party and show her a good time.
And she meets this guy and goes home with him instead. And, oh, well.
You really look good.
You look-- You look good too.
- Thank you. - Do you want a drink?
Uh-huh. Y eah. Sure.
You know, I'm such a klutz. I spilled beer all over my dress earlier.
And, well, I think it's stained. Did it stain, Nick?
I have Sheila's room key. You wanna come up?
- Let's get hot - Oh, yes, it's ladies' night
And the vibes is right
Oh, yes, it's ladies' night Oh, what a night
It's ladies' night and the feeling's right
Oh, yes, it's ladies' night Oh, what a night
Nick, Nick, use your key, man.
All right. All right, Nick. Damn!
- Hey, Nick, why couldn't you just use your key? - Turn your bed down?
Stay.
The lady is lookin' good
- Just like the lady should - Just like the lady should
I've been thinking about this for so long. I want you so bad.
I just wanted to make her happy.
This is gonna be a night that you won't forget.
I try to forget, but I can't.
- Give it to me, Nick. - Give. That's all I did was give.
Nick? Nick, you're really putting a damper on the mood here.
I'm sorry. I don't know.
Danielle, I can't. I just can't.
I just wanna make you mine
We'll be together till the end of time
Hey, Kareem. Are you aware that Charlie and l...
had intended to come up here and cap your punk ass?
And your girlfriend Nick.
But, shit, you two muffins did such an outstanding job with this financing...
I mean, who could think about killing at a time like this?
Thanks. Your approval means a lot.
- Did I tell you to speak? Did I tell you to speak? - Charlie, no.
That's gonna be too loud.
Too loud.
- Hello? Hello? - Hi.
Oh, my God! Nick, is that you? Are you okay?
- I'm fine. - Oh, thank God!
I didn't know if, if you--
I thought that-- You're not hurt?
- No. - Oh, thank God! Where are you?
Look, Ann, let's not make this harder than it has to be. I saw you.
- What? - I saw you. I know.
Saw me what? What are you talking about?
Come on. Do you have to do this? You and Phillip.
- What about him? - You're denying it. She's denying it.
I don't believe this. Friday afternoon. Remember?
Well, guess what. I came home early. I saw you, Ann.
- I was there. - Oh. Oh, no.
Yeah. Oh, no.
Nick, I was still at work Friday afternoon.
At work? Well, then your-your clone was at home screwing my boss.
Nick, it was my sister. Remember, I told you...
she was coming next Friday with her fiance?
Well, I made a mistake. It was this Friday. They called from the airport.
I told them about the key in the planter.
I called you, but you'd already left the office.
So I left you a message on the machine at home.
What about-- What about the cuff links? Phillip's cuff links were on the sink, Ann.
Honey, they've been in the dresser since the Christmas party.
I left them on the counter so you'd finally remember to bring them to him.
So you're not having an affair?
- No, you dick! - You still love me?
More than anything in the world.
You-- You wouldn't believe what I've been through.
You're gonna laugh, but I actually-- Shit.
- What's the matter? What's wrong? - Shit!
- What's the matter? What? - Shit!
Shit! Shit!
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit...
shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
Going down.
- Don't touch it. - Oh, man.
Oh, man.
I think I can open the door and catch the sheet.
- Don't touch the sheet, please. Don't-- - No, no, no.
- No, don't move. Don't move. - Oh, shit. Oh, shit. I done moved the hand.
I really don't think you should be moving right now. I-I think you're moving.
- Call the paramedics. Listen to me. - All right.
Get them here as fast as you can!
Have them meet me with a gurney.
- Wait. Let me practise. - Let you practise?
I'm hangin' on a fuckin' ledge, man.
- I don't wanna die like this, Nick. - All right.
I wasn't tryin' to stick you up, man!
First, I'm gonna say "one." Then I'm gonna say "two." Then I'm gonna say "three."
- And then I'm gonna do it. - I can't hear you.
- I'm gonna start with one and count to three! - Okay.
Ready? One.
- Right. - Two.
I can't hear you! You gotta be louder, Nick!
- I said, "two"! - Are you on "two" already?
- I'll start again! - Start from "one"!
- One.. - Right. - Two.
- I got you. - Three!
- Nick! - I got it! I got it! Got it!
Well, you go, boy! You my--
The elevator! The money!
Remind me to kick your ass later.
Oh! We're rich, man!
- We are in the bigs. - Charlie. Charlie, smell that.
Oh, yes! You, too, can be a millionaire!
Hookers!
Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, smell this.
More hookers!
- Hookers! - We hit the mother lode, man!
- What the fuck is that? - What the fuck--
- Okay. What now? - I don't know.
What do you mean, you don't know? I thought you said you had a plan.
- That was my plan: to ram them. - Ram them.
Speed up!
- Shoot the mother-- Shoot him! - I got him! I got him!
- Shoot 'em! - Geez!
You know, I'm tired of this shit. Let's go!
Charlie! Look out, Charlie!
I'm actually grabbing a gun and going after bad guys.
You the man.
All right.
- You see 'em? - No.
I'll, uh-- I'll let you know.
Please do. Nick.
What?
- You checkin' this shit out? - Hey, Nick.
I like you like this.
You and your prom date both having weapons.
That way I don't have to kill an unarmed couple. It's not my style.
Put down the bag.
- Paul Bunyan, come and take the bag. - Nick, let me--
- You're an idiot! Shut up! - Shoot this mother-- - No, you're a fuckin' idiot!
Who are you? Crime dog now? Are you aware that there's only two kind of people on the whole planet?
There are killers, and then there's everybody else.
I'm a killer, Nick. Yes, yes, yes, yes. What are you, Nick?
I'm married.
Oh, you son of a-- Wait, wait, wait.
Oh, shit!
What are you, fuckin' out of your mind?
- Fuck! - What, are you crazy?
Huh? Who's in control now?
Hand over the bag...
or else my man Nick Beam here gonna put one in your ass.
Ain't that right, Nick?
- I'll roll over. - Okay, I see it. I see it.
Let me try to get around and get you.
No, it's not--
- No, they're in the alley. - Charlie, it's the police. - Oh, yes!
- Thank God you're here. - Thank God you're here, man. - Oh, this nightmare's over.
- What the fuck are you doin'? - Put the gun down!
Put that gun down, you stupid pig!
- Wait! Come on! - Come on, man!
It's them.
Well, some folks in Arizona are gonna be mighty happy to see you boys.
Wait, wait, wait! Officer! Officer! Officer, two other guys--
"I'm married." Ka-blam! You're too much.
- Is the money all there? - Looks like it.
Great. We have just enough time to get it back.
Excuse me?
We have to bring the money back.
No, no.
Maybe you're a little bit confused about the purpose of a robbery.
Oh, T., I didn't tell you. When we were at the hotel, I called my wife.
Everything's all right. You see, it wasn't her.
She wasn't even there. Isn't that great?
It was her sister and her sister's fiance.
I don't give a damn if it was her Uncle Fester and Gumby.
You ain't takin' this money anywhere, man.
I don't wanna hear all that.
- Let go. Let go. - Gimme the bag. You let go.
- Let go of the bag. You let-- - It's not your money.
- It's not your money!
- It's not yours. It's half mine. - Let go!
- You let go! - Let go! - You let go!
Let go!
Get back here!
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm okay.
- And you? - I'll live.
Can't let you take the money, Nick.
T., my life is in that bag.
Nick, even if you wanted to take the money back, you can't.
- Your face is on the video, man. - They only review the tapes if something's missing.
I can go into work early and bring it back. No one'll know.
T.
I can get my life back.
You forget one thing, Nick. I get my life back too.
Money don't make my world go 'round
I'm reaching out for the higher ground
To a warm and peaceful place
I can rest my weary face
Life's answers we try to find
Oh, we try to find Yes, we try to find
Battling inside our minds
Where do I go from here
Will all my friends be there
'Cause we're living we're living
In a crazy maze
And we're fighting we're fighting
To rise above the haze
Lights at the end of the tunnel
Sometimes the journey's long
There are many theories
Who's right and who's wrong
Pressure's on I have to choose
I've got nothing to lose
I close my eyes I take a chance
I-l, I now dance a different dance
What's the key to a happy life
Tell me now, now, now
Healthy mind and lots of spice
Running barefoot through the trees
- Oh, my God! - That's my idea of free
Ow. Ouch.
What happened to you?
It's a long story.
- I got shot. - What?
And l-- I think I'm wanted in Arizona.
Plus, my shoes caught on fire.
You told me you were selling me the top of the line. The top of the line is digital.
Did you sell me a digital? No, you did not.
So, I'm bringing it back, and I expect a full refund.
And if you do not give me a full refund, you will not...
be doing business with myself or my company.
Thank you.
- So, did you hear? - What?
Some, uh, vandals broke in over the weekend.
- What? - Well, nothing was stolen. They-- They cut the--
the thingy...
off P B.'s statue.
Um, they're reviewing the videotape.
- Hi, everybody. How's it going? - Not now, Nick.
- Did anybody see that game last night? - Game? What game?
- Oh, that game. Overtime. - Will you please shut up!
Don't touch it. Don't touch it. Oh, you pig. Oh, you pig.
Well, that's it. What's done is done. Listen.
I've got this great idea for the new McGinty Cracker mascot.
- Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Thank you. - This mascot--
- This-- - Nick! Shut up!
What's happening?
Well, what is this? What the hell is this?
- I don't know. - You goin' crazy as a spider!
Somebody must've recorded over the tape.
- Who had access? - Uh, there was an electrician in here this morning.
What electrician? I did not order an electrician!
I did. The flickers on the-- Fluorescent lights were flickering.
- I'm really sorry, sir. - This is terrible, Phil.
- I would really like to be alone now. - I'll go now. - You should go.
- I would be really like to be alone. - You should go. - I'll leave now. - You should go too.
- I would like to be extremely alone for a minute. - I'm gonna leave you alone.
Thank you very much. Thank you, Nick.
All right now. Cut that out. Y'all wanna eat? You wanna eat?
- Y eah, we wanna eat. - I thought you wanna eat. You wanna eat? All right.
- Just don't burn the meat. - I don't never burn the meat.
- Uh-huh. What happened the last time? - Hey, Dad don't burn the meat.
- I'm gonna put some more po-po sauce on it. Y'all like that. - Joey. Tonya.
- Y eah, that's-- - Go see your mama, boy. You know.
Now this is my very special mustard.
- Don't let nobody touch that. - Okay, Mama.
- All right. - Yeah.
So, how's the electrician business?
Hey. Not bad. The hours are a bitch.
I wanna thank you.
I don't know why-- I just wanna say I appreciate what you did.
Well, don't mention it. How's that? How did you know where I was anyway?
A friend gave me a tip.
A friend, huh?
- You hungry? - Yes, we would love for you to join us.
Wouldn't we, Mama?
I talked to my boss today after things settled down.
Convinced him we need a new security system. Got any ideas?
Sure. I can help you pick one out.
You wanna run it? We need someone trustworthy.
I told him I know just the guy.
Well, I'm gonna have to think about this, Nick.
Right now, I'm weighing out several lucrative offers. I mean, they rollin' in.
A lot of people want me to work for them right now.
Now, that's just the way I like it.
All I need now is some of Mama's special mustard.
Stop.
What'd I do?
- Run, run! - Stay down, Nick. Get on outta here.
I'll beat you into the--
See you when you get there
Now I seen places and faces of things you ain't never thought about thinkin'
If you ain't peeked then you must be drinkin' and smokin'
Pretendin' that you're locin' but you're broken, let me get you open
Now, little Timmy got his diploma and little Jimmy got life
And Tamica around the corner just took her first hit off the pipe
The other homey shot the other homey and ran off with his money
And when the other homeys heard about it they thought that it was funny
But who's the dummy 'cause now you done lost a hustler
A down-ass brother done replaced by a bustler
And though I got love for ya I know I can't trust ya
'Cause my crew is rollin' numbers and your crew is rollin' dusters
And just because of that you act like you don't like a brother no more
I guess that's just the way you go
I ain't tryin' to preach, I believe I can reach but your mind ain't prepared
I see ya when you get there
I'll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
I'll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
More temptation and fate I guess we livin' for today
I seen a man get swept off his feet by a bull with an AK
The situation's so twisted everybody gettin' lifted
I'm just tryin' to take care of my kids and handle my business
'Cause it's way too serious so you gotta pay close attention
So you don't get caught slippin' when they come to do all the gettin'
Life is a big game so you gotta play it with the big boys
Some of us gotta run a little faster 'cause we gotta lay the straw
But I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender
If everybody's ascended then everybody can be a winner
No matter your rag color Deep down we all brothers
And we gonna set a time Somebody up there still love us
I'm gonna scuffle and struggle with ya I'm breathless and weak
I done strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak
Always keep reachin' Sure to grab onto somethin'
I'll be there when you get there waitin' with the sounds bumpin'
I'll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
I'll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
As we walk down the road of our destiny
And the time comes to choose which shall it be
The wide and crooked or the straight and narrow
We got one voice to give and one life to live
Stand up for somethin' or lay down in the game
Listen to the song that we sing
It's up to you to make your beef
I guess I'll see you when you see me
I'll see you
When you get there
If you wanna get there
- I'll see you - I'll see you
- When you get there - When you get there
- If you wanna get there - If you really
- I'll see you - I'll see you
- When you get there - When you get there
- If you wanna get there - If you really
I'll see you
When you get there
