(bottles and cans clattering)

Wh--

What time is it?

It's like noon.

Look, the party was straight

but now I got to clean up
all this shit.

(chuckles)
I mean, it's like

I know y'all,

Where is Alfred?

Who?

You know, it's like

but y'all ain't my niggas.

I mean it's like
I know y'all,

but I don't know y'all,

(bottles clang)

Where's my jacket?

JOE:
People just tearing up shit.

Somebody poured a beer
in my Brita pitcher.

I mean it's like
I fuck with y'all,

but I don't fuck with y'all,
man!

It's a...

It's like a--
a blue bomber jacket.

-Have you seen it?
-Nah.

But I did see when somebody

tried to light my trash can
on fire.

(bottles clang)

-What?
-Yeah.

It's all burned up
on the inside.

(chuckles)
I mean, I was gonna

get another one anyway,
but--

but that's besides
the point.

I mean, it's like
we boys, but--

But we ain't boys.
Yeah, I get it.

Have you seen--
it's got a patch on it.

You know?

Like a seal--

Can we hurry up
and get some food?

I'm, like, dying.

(women indistinctly arguing
outside)

("Broccoli"

♫ Hey, hey ♫

(line trilling)

Hey.
What's up, Al?

Um, did you pick up my jacket
yesterday?

(indistinct speech over phone)

Dang.

No, I just--I just thought
maybe you picked it up.

Um...

I'm just gonna--

I'm gonna retrace my steps,

try and see if I can find it.

All right?

All right, cool.

Peace.

Free chicken sandwich day,
nigga.

(music playing inside)

-Hey, what's--
-Listen, you owe me $10, man.

No, I mean--
I was here last night.

I think I left my jacket
in there.

Still got to
charge you ten.

Come on, man,

Can't you just look?

(hip-hop music playing)

Nope.
Didn't see it.

W--

I really need this jacket.

(music continues)

Nah, man.
It ain't here.

Enjoy.

♫ Flippin' all night, boy,
I'll be flippin' all night ♫

♫ After I flip all night, boy,
I'll be flippin' all night ♫

♫ Flippin' all night, boy,
I'll be flippin' all night ♫

Hey, honey.
You want a dance?

Uh, no, actually,
I was here last night.

I'm--I'm just lookin'
for my jacket.

Oh, with Paper Boi?

I heard he was in here.

Yeah, exactly.

I'm--I'm his manager.

(scoffs)
Oh, really?

Y'all need a girl
for a music video?

'Cause I'll do it.

Uh, nah.
Maybe.

I'll keep you in mind.

Okay, don't lie to me.

I'm--I'm not lying to you.

Look,

from last night here right now?

One of them might have
my jacket.

Okay, what she look like?

She--
she was blonde.

She had blonde hair.

Was it short blonde hair?

Uh...
No, it was--

it stopped at, like,
her...shoulders.

Nah.
Well, wait.

She like a hot yellow broad?

She was
kind of light-skinned,

but not--
not super light-skinned.

Okay, was she thick?
Was she skinny?

She was pretty thick.

Big titties?

Not the biggest titties.

Like, they were--
they were--

they were pretty big, yeah.

Was she tall
with a fat ass?

Kind of.

I don't know.
She--

She was like her.

She l--
she looked like her.

Nigga, them titties ain't big.

I--whatever.
I don't--

I don't know
the titty median here.

I've been working here
for two years,

and I ain't never seen nobody
that look like that.

Sorry.

Aight.
It's cool.

Thanks.

Uh, wait a minute.

You just gonna leave

and not take my phone number
for the music video?

Oh.

Uh, yeah.

See, you think
I'm playin'.

-I'm so serious.
-I know.

-You better call me.
-Okay.

(music playing inside)

(cell phone unlocks, clicks)

Shots gon' make this night!

Tittys and bittys
and tittys.

Tittys
and bittys and tittys.

Tittys and bittys
and--no, not--

(indistinct chatter)

I hate shots.
You know that, right?

(hip-hop music playing)

♫ ♫

-Hey.
-What you doing?

(indistinct chatter, cheering)

Gotta get in the Uber!

-Whoo!
-(laughs)

-I got shotgun.
-I got shotgun, nigga.

-I got the front.
-Man.

That's right, man,
to the back.

Hey, man.
Hey, what's your name, man?

What you doin'?

My baby mama's cousin
gonna drop me off.

This nigga, man.

Hey!

(Nelly's "Ride Wit Me" playing)

This is BeyoncÈ's best song.

Nigga...
(laughs)

But I stay gold!

-♫ In the back of the Doz-E ♫
-Hey!

♫ Oh, why
do I feel this good? ♫

all:
♫ Hey, must be the money! ♫

(all barking)

Yeah, yeah!

(all barking)

♫ Yeah, yeah ♫
(all barking)

What if we found out
Ja Rule was just a dog?

(laughter)

-Like, he's just--
-Like--

(indistinct noises from video)

-Nigga, grunk!
-Look at this shit.

-I wanna see--
-Oh! Watch what they doin'--

(hip-hop music playing)

Hey, come on!

I said it. Look at that.
Look at that. Look at that.

No. No, you don't understand.
It takes your soul, man.

(hip-hop music from phone)

(humming)

Yo!
E-money.

-Hey.
-What it be like?

-Hey, guys.
-Sup, bro?

Sup?

Thanks for waking me up
this morning.

We didn't wake you up.

Yeah, I know.

(sighs)

I woke up at 11:30
with Joe screaming at me.

-Word?
-Yeah, he was pretty mad.

Why?

'Cause we, like,
ruined his house.

Like, we set, like, a trash can
on fire or something?

-Right.
-(laughs)

Oh, yeah, that did happen.

-Yeah.
-Yep.

Hey, that girl, Kim,
threw that blunt in the trash.

-Mm.
-(laughs)

-Man, we was drunk as hell.
-That was cold.

Yeah, well, he's pissed.

Well, so what?
Fuck him, man.

I can barely remember
last night, man.

Well, you don't need to.
You Snapchatted the whole thing.

Uh, yup.

How else we gonna
let niggas know

how we livin' out here?

(chuckles)
Most of this rap shit

is appearances, right?

Yeah, appearances of money.

Look, we need to start
stuntin' on niggas more.

All right?

That's what we need to do, bro.

Stunting's a kind of a trap.

We should probably
make a little bit more money

before we start showing it off.

Oh, my God, man.

How you suck the fun
out of everything.

See, that's--
that's black people's

number one problem.

Man, they don't know
how to have fun.

I really disagree

with that being black people's
number one problem.

-See how he goes?
-You know what I think?

I think if we spent
the time we spend

thinking about not spending
money, spent that time

on spending money,
then it'd be time well spent.

But all the rest of that--
you know, I--

Here, let me see your phone.

I need to contact that
Uber driver from last night.

I think he's got my jacket.

Thanks.

Don't flip through
my photos, man.

Let me get some of them, man.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Speaking of money,

how you think these sunflower
seed companies make money?

-They're only 75¢ a pack.
-Hey.

Um, yeah, this is, uh,
a customer of yours

from last night.

Uh, yeah, I think--
yeah, the rappers.

The rappers.

I think I left a--
a jacket in there?

It's a--
it's like navy blue bomber.

And now they're coming out

with all of these
different flavors.

-You got barbecue.
-Yeah, check, please.

-Thanks.
-Teriyaki.

-Mmm.
-Sushi.

-Sushi, nigga?
-Catfish.

You got all kinds
of different brands.

I don't know if I want
no sushi seeds, man.

No, they're delicious.

-Sushi sunflower seeds?
-Yeah, yeah.

-Hey, why you didn't get those?
-Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, I'm--

Yeah, I was looking
all over for it.

Uh, could you bring it to,
uh, 24--

Don't really
support sushi.

-I think it's a bigger issue...
-Uh, all right.

-Than people talk about.
-But how is it--wait, man.

-Yeah, okay.
-It's not like they killing

the sushi and putting them
in the seed, bro.

-Oh, so that's artificial?
-That's artificial.

-All right.
-Hmm.

Yeah. Bye.
Damn it.

I wonder why the--
there's--

it's not real sushi.

It's all right, man.
It's okay.

Found my jacket.

both: Hey!

Brap!

He wants me to pay $50
to drop it off.

Damn.

-Wait, Fidel from last night?
-Yeah.

-F-money?
-Ooh, these Uber niggas

is ruthless, boy.

-I was hoping maybe you'd...
-(blows raspberries)

Drive me down there.

-Oh, Earn, man, God.
-Please.

I hate that sound--
like, that sound, like, come on.

Alfred, I really need
this jacket, man.

(groans)

Aight, man,
I guess, man.

Here we go.

-Bailin' his ass out again.
-I guess.

Man, you didn't even
bail my ass out

when I was actually in jail.

What do you mean, "I guess"?

I guess we're
doing this again.

Oh, hey, man, we can go
get some Jamaican food, boy.

(Jamaican accent)
Oh, Jamaican.

-Hell yeah.
-The curry goat.

The curry goat.
The curry goat.

I wonder how they catch
those goats, man.

Yo, where is this nigga,
man?

This some bull.

Uh, he told me
to meet him here.

I don't know if one of these
is his houses or what.

Well, call his ass again.

This negro stakeout shit

shouldn't take this long
for no jacket.

48 Hrs.

All black cast.

Does that even work?

(chimes ringing on phone)

Oh.

It's probably him.

SENATOR K: Second time it's me.

SENATOR K:

SENATOR K: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, just get ready, man.

He wants to go

Wait, Senator K?

Yo!

Pretty crazy, though.

This is a lot.

-Right? Mmm.
-That actually smells good.

Yummy!

Yummy?
You haven't even tried it yet.

(sighs)

Where did you learn
to cook like this?

Uh, remember that show
Down Home with the Neelys?

Yeah, that was like--
you want some, baby?

Mmm!

No, I used to--

I used to swing with them,
so, like, I learned some things.

-Oh.
-How is it?

Is it good?

-Nah.

Mm.

So y'all were wasted last night?

Kinda.

Not really.

(groans)

Oh, by the way...

This is for you.

What is that?

It's that thing

You a drug dealer now?

(laughs)

Earn, are you kidding me?

(laughs)

-Are you--
-Oh, my God.

-Yo, you are fucking wack.
-You looked so sad.

You looked so sad.

I'm really flattered...

(laughs)

That you think
I could sell drugs.

No, I'm not--
come on.

You think I really
could do that?

I'd be so bad at it.

(laughs)

I hate you.

I know.

(sighs)

You're a good daddy,
