All I seem to be able
to focus on is you.

- No questions asked.
- That's not gonna happen.

Gena, how you doin'?

- How do you know my name?
- Rollins, right?

Yo, what's up, Quadir?

What's up, big homey?
What you doin' up this way?

Hey, brother,
I don't know you.

Let me make the introduction.
This Jerrell Jackson,

this Rich Green,
and they homegirl...

Aubrey.

They makin' a few moves
in the streets.

A few moves?
I don't know who you talkin' to.

- No, no, no.
- I'm talkin' to you.

- Like I said, a few.
- No, it's all respect.

I don't understand
what this conversation's about.

We respect what you're doin'
in the streets. We just wanted

- to say what's up.
- I'm sorry, I don't know...

what it is you think I do,

but, ay, it was a pleasure
to meet you. As-Salaam-Alaikum.

All right? Turn up.

Easy.

I'm so over it.

You rushed me to come here,
now you rushin' me to leave.

- Chill, we not leavin'.
- Then why are we outside?

We waitin' on Rasun
and Quadir to come out.

But you could've seen them
inside.

Mm-mm, then Rich Green
would've seen me.

- Who is Rich Green?
- Did you see

the scary lookin' guy
with the beard?

Girl, every guy in Philly
got a beard.

True.
Well, I used to fuck Rich Green

and I don't want Rasun to know.

Rasun and Quadir are friends.

That's why you gave him my shit.

Now, I told him your name.
I can't help he texted Quadir.

Come on, here they come.

- Just let them take us.
- I gotta go to church

in the morning, why you...

Hey, so they about to bring
the car around.

What y'all tryin' to get into?

Ay, man, you know
what they tryin' to get into.

- I say we ride home with y'all.
- I like that.

Because it's too late
to get on the train, right?

It's too late, it's too late.

You famous, motherfucker!

Yeah.
Teach yo' ass, nigga.

Oh my God,
this is so good.

Yeah, nothing works up
an appetite like being shot at.

You know,
Gena really loves lobster.

- Is that right?
- Mm-hm.

Well, you should, uh,
come down to...

to the restaurant.
My chef makes a...

wonderful lobster.

- You've got your own restaurant?
- Who, my man Qua?

He got the hottest restaurant
in the city.

Oh, we already in there.

- Ain't that right, Gena?
- Yeah, maybe.

Mm. I gotta go
to the ladies' room, like, now.

- Gena?
- I'm good.

I gotta go, too.

Okay.

Why does it gotta to be
so much killin' out there?

Why you talking to me
like I'm responsible?

I'm just sayin'.

Sorry.

- It's crazy to me.
- It is.

What are you gonna do about it?

- Me?
- Yeah, you.

I don't know,
that's up to the politicians.

- I'm still in school.
- Oh, you in school?

- What you majorin' in?
- English literature.

- You tryin' to be a writer?
- I am a writer.

- Let me read some of your work.
- I'm sorry,

I don't let strangers
read my work.

You do know
that when you sit down

and break bread with somebody,

technically you're not
a stranger anymore?

Listen, Quadir, you seem
like a really nice guy.

I appreciate dinner.
You taking us home

is really nice,
but I know what you do.

- Oh, do you?
- Yes,

- and I've been there before.
- Mm.

And I know most girls
would just take the money.

So, you think...
you think... you think

that I care more about what's
in between your legs than...

Come on, we both know
you're not interested

in reading my work.
All you wanna do

is hit and that's good for you.
But, that's not who I am.

Okay?

Thank you for keeping it 100.
I appreciate that.

I don't hide what I do.
It was a conscious decision.

I'm a young, black,
successful criminal.

Yeah, that's what I do.

That's not who I am.

I love reading.
I love music
