Bloodthirsty

You told me that place was good.

That place was okay.

It was good.

Tastes like regular fish to me.

You could have made that home.

No, it wasn't.

The fish was good. What about the collard greens?

The collard greens were good.

The collard greens were good. The collard greens were good.

See?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

What's this?

What is that?

I don't know, but I'll find out.

Hey, hey, bro.

You must be lost.

Hey, bro, I know all these houses look alike but this ones mine.

You on drugs or something, bro? You lost?

Aye my man.

Bro, yo.

Oh my God!

911, what's your emergency?

Hello, my name is Martha Washington.

I need help, please.

Okay, ma'am, I need you to remain calm

and tell me what's happening.

A man just attacked my husband.

Can you still see the man?

He's on top of Larry!

On top?

Martha, what's he doing?

I think he's.

What is it Martha?

I think he's eating him!

Hello?

I didn't expect you to

answer the phone in class.

I was gonna leave a voicemail.

Come on, Ma, it's like 6:00 here remember?

I aint got class til 8.

Why you don't use the voice notes like I taught you?

You know I hate technology.

And are you sure?

I thought with the time difference, it would be closer to 8:30.

What?

Shit.

Boy, watch your mouth.

I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry.

Um I just got up.

Did you oversleep for class again?

No, of course not.

I just um.

I was just uh

studying for my econ presentation.

You were studying?

Yeah, I study.

Dang don't sound so surprised.

Just running over time.

Well, I've never seen you studying

for anything other than girls and video games.

Well, that's because you never call when I'm doing it.

Brian, hold on, your dad wants to speak to you.

Nah, nah, Ma, please do not put him on the phone.

Brian.

Good morning, sir.

You trying to be funny?

No, sir, why would I want to do that?

Is this about me trying to convince you to take the job that I set up?

No, Dad, why would I be mad at you?

I mean, you just threatened to cancel my classes and,

because I didn't want to take the job that you wanted right?

I mean, is that a reason to call you your highness?

Look, Brian, I'm just trying to do what's best for you.

You may not want to hear or understand it right now

but one day.

Yeah yeah yeah I know, I know, I know, Dad.

I'm just trying to look out for you, son.

Well Dad, I can look out for myself.

God forbid some should happen to me or your mother.

How would you take care of yourself?

Or your little brother?

With your band?

You think you can hold down a household doing free shows at the coffee shop?

Hey, look, don't talk about my band.

We don't play at coffee shops.

I said I can take care of myself.

And I'll take care of Josh too if I need to.

Besides, Josh's parents, they're rich.

I mean, something happens to them.

They'll probably take care of me.

Very funny.

We're your parents too.

And we love you.

Remember that.

Mmhmm.

Speaking of your brother, he flew back from Europe late last night.

He should be in by now, so make sure you check on him.

Why he come back so early?

He said something about wanting to get extra soccer practice in

with his teammates this summer.

Mm, that sounds fun.

All right, well, look Dad I gotta go to class.

Oh, yeah.

Your mom says congrats on your 1-year anniversary with Sarah.

I hope you get her something nice.

Thanks, guys.

You did get her something nice, right?

Dad, I got to go.

Let me know if you need me to wire you some money to take her out or anything.

That is all taken care of, OK?

All right.

Now, I'm hanging out with phone.

I love you, son.

Love you too.

Mmmm.

What?

Boy, carry who?

Shit.

We gon see.

Hey. Hi.

Still doing your anatomy homework?

I feel that.

Did you hear what happened to Mr. Washington this morning?

You know, I heard the guys that did it weren't even from around here.

Seriously?

Also heard that the cops literally shot the guy four times.

And he didn't even react. He just kept...

Well...

That's crazy.

And Ms. Barnes got attacked this morning, too.

What's gotten into people lately?

I feel like it was drugs or something.

Yeah, that's the rumor.

I feel so bad for Mr. Barnes. No one should have to see that.

Could you imagine if that were David or Brian?

Yeah, I literally don't know what I would do.

Not me either. I don't even want to think about it.

Well, on a lighter note, are you ready for the big night tonight?

I guess.

I don't know what he has planned, and I'm not expecting much but..

We'll see.

Oh, I'm sure he'll think of something.

I just can't believe you guys have been dating for a whole year already.

I know, right?

It feels like yesterday he was the new guy.

Hmm. I mean, the one that looked like he was going to have an anxiety attack

every time he walked by?

I'm definitely going to tell him you said that.

Go tell him.

And speaking of lover boy...

I think he's outside.

And he's actually early for once. What the hell?

I don't know. Maybe he's feeling inspired.

Hmm.

Look who it is.

Oh, my man Mr Barnes.

What's going on man?

Good to see you. Good to see you.

It seem quiet around here, man.

Oh, yeah. It tends to be quiet when nobody is around here

blasting their loud music through the speakers playing the..

Same two songs over and over.

It was three songs,

and I got an album now.

Really?

It's a EP, but still.

Now, how your grand babies, man?

They're doing good. They're around here somewhere.

Yeah? How's my number one fan?

Oh, I was actually about to grab some stuff and go to the hospital to go check on her.

At the hospital? What happened?

Oh, it's okay. Just want to make sure she don't have an infection.

She got into it with the pool boy the other day.

With the pool? Is the pool boy okay?

Right.

Because you know Betty, she's a fighter.

She held her own, you know what I mean?

But he got it good. Bit her right in the shoulder.

He bit her?

Yeah. Took several of the staff to get him off her.

He even got a couple of them too

until somebody smacked him silly with a wrench.

Somebody?

Yeah. Funny thing. Nobody seem to know who hit him with a wrench.

Oh, I believe you. I believe nobody know who hit him with that wrench.

But no, seriously, man, I hope she feels better.

No, I appreciate that. You know, you was always her favorite employee.

Well, you know, I was her favorite employee and her favorite rapper.

Okay.

She was always my favorite manager. No offense.

Oh, that's okay.

You know, she cried when we had to let you go.

Didn't even speak to me for a whole day.

Well, that sound about right. I mean, I'm sorry.

I'm sure.

It's all good. But I appreciate that.

Uh, You're here to get Sarah, right?

Yeah.

You do know she don't get off till five.

Yeah.
