Adolescents of Chymera

Yo what's up everybody, how you doing?

This is Lucky in the house representing "Chimera House."

Yeah!

Yo, check it out, I'm the number one

"Boricua Talk Show" host in town,

and we got some of my peeps back there

and they want to talk to you all

about what's really going on

because frankly you don't know what's going on.

So check it out.

Yeah, let's see you, how's everybody feeling?

Feeling good, Lucky!

Let's start off with my boy.

He's howling like a dog in heat

like he is, you know what I'm saying?

That's right man.

Bones, my man Praxedias

what's up, man

Puerto Rico!

Yo, tell the world, man,

the world don't know stuff about us.

Tell them about - The world, man

your world, man.

- The world, there's two worlds, talking about two worlds.

My world, our world.

And then there's the other world.

How you doing girl?

You know, you're so sexy, man.

I think one day you and me should get together.

Drop it, Lucky.

I think we should you know what I mean

Lucky, drop it now.

All right!

Ew, look at that guy!

Ew!

Oh, man!

Look at him!

to be taken for a ride

the mystery of Highway 40

that drives the hearse

is never in remission

it's just another curse

following a star

Good afternoon, everyone.

Good afternoon, Dee.

- I'd like to welcome our new resident to the family.

Roy, I'm looking forward to working with you,

and I hope we can make a real difference in your life.

Thank you family.

Thank you, Dee.

All right, listen up.

Now that we're on summer break,

we have lots of work to do to get the house back in shape.

Remember, this is your home.

So give it the love and attention it deserves.

Any questions about chores?

Then let's get to it.

Monica and Theresa can adjourn, thank you family.

Thank you, Daryl.

Checking on chores.

It's no good, do it over.

What are you talking about?

It's not good enough.

Daryl likes things to sparkle.

Yeah, well things are sparkling.

That ain't acceptable, man.

Nobody can see under there.

I can.

So who are you?

I'm the DM, your discipline monitor.

That means you obey my reasonable requests

or I can give you consequences.

That's bullshit.

That's bullshit, huh?

Disrespecting peer authority

Failure to follow staff direction,

provoking attitude, foul language.

Get the idea?

That's fucked up

That's life.

Get back to work.

Roy, what are you doing out here?

I just needed some space.

You didn't ask permission.

- I need permission to sit in the backyard?

Until you knew our system,

you'd better ask permission for everything.

And never go outside without Dee

or me knowing where you are.

Otherwise it's an AWOL contract

and threatens your placement.

Do you understand?

Look, I just needed-

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Fuck this place.

What happened?

.

He treats me like a two year old.

He's into power tripping, all right.

But what do you expect

when the guy was in 'Nam for 10 years?

- Yeah, well not one of his stupid soldiers.

You're gonna have to get used to it.

I mean, he's not such a bad guy once you get to know him

I don't want to get to know him.

I just want to get the fuck outta here.

Don't think like that, man.

It's gonna make time go much slower.

And what's his trip anyway?

- Well, you see, I heard that he was a real screw up

until he joined the army,

then he learned all about rules, discipline,

and shit like that.

You know, got his act together.

I guess he thinks it's gonna work for us too.

So he wants to save our souls.

Hey, you know, it could be a lot worse.

At least the guy's heart's in the right place.

Failure to follow staff directions,

throwing an object, and having a negative attitude.

What's up Keisha, what happened?

I got some bad news about my son.

He all right?

Well, my sister gone moved to Texas

and she taken Ricky with her.

I'm not going to see my baby for a long time.

Sorry.

Look, Keisha what's going to be your retribution?

I don't care.

Dishes, hallways, windows, whatever.

Do we agree?

Yeah, it's cool.

Roy.

Noncompliance of structure, failure to complete chores,

disrespecting peer authority.

You know how the system works?

I told him all about it.

- You got to choose your own punishment man.

Well, I didn't do anything wrong.

- Ain't no fighting the bookings, just choose your chores.

But I didn't do anything wrong.

- Are you refusing to abide by family rules?

- I'm refusing to say I'm guilty when I'm not.

- You wouldn't be here unless you were guilty.

That's not what this is about.

Either you're a member of this family or you're not.

That's a joke.

Do you want to go back to the hall?

Oh, so that's my choice?

Roll over and kiss your ass, or go back to the hall?

Go to your room, Roy.

Go.

Take some time, cool down.

Fool's crazy.

Can I talk to you?

Come in.

Close the door.

Oh I can't, it's against the rules.

But I have permission to be here.

I'm supposed to represent you at your initiation.

What?

They're going to have an initiation

to see if you're appropriate for this house,

and I've volunteered to be your support.

See, what happens is they have this big dinner

and while everyone eats asks you a bunch of questions.

It's kind of like a trial, you know,

to see if you'll fit into our family.

And we call it the initiation.

Yeah and what if I don't want to do it?

Well, you don't have a choice.

What happens?

Then you won't be able to stay.

- Yeah, I'll show you guys how to barbecue, all right?

This is what separates the men from the boys.

What're you talking about?

- I've had all kind of picnics at the house Daryl.

I didn't flip major meat.

He said major meat, you hear that?

I am not talking about a picnic here.

I'm talking about a barbecue.

- I'll tell you what I let you listen to a man.

I'll show you how to really barbecue.

Look Lucky, it is not the time yet.

Step away, let a real man show you how it's done,

thank you very much.

We know you, man,

Oh, no I can't take that.

Oh, ash on a bun, yum, yum.

This Mesquite, right?

I'm not dealing with E. Coli.

There you go, see?

Hey Laura, come here Laura.

Ladies first.

Thanks.

Good evening family.

Before we get started, I'd like to say

a few words about the initiation.

I want you all to remember
