The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete

Mr. Carey?

Can I get a ride home?

Okay, look, I know you asked me for a ride home

to try to convince me to change my mind.

But I can't do that.

I know it's hard, Mister,

but maybe repeating 8th grade is exactly what you need.

When you were offered after school help, you refused it.

That's... That's fine.

That was your right. We can't force it on you,

but now you have to accept the consequences of that choice.

I can't pass you.

But I am willing to do what I can to help you.

It's plain to see that you need it.

Fuck you.

Get the hell out of my car!

Yo, what about my son, man?

What about your son?

It's just me and him. Let me go.

You can't lock me up. I'm all he's got.

Man, don't worry about your son.

If you cooperate, then maybe your ass will see him later.

They're gonna take care of him over at Riverview.

Riverview? Hell, no! Hey!

Daddy, don't let them take me!

Don't let them take me there!

TJ, relax. Take care.

Look, man, you trying to take my son and put him in the system?

Go ahead. Watch your feet.

Get in!

Was he beating up on you?

Did he hit you? Yeah, he hit me.

He hit you?

Okay, that... I mean, that's domestic violence.

Listen,

I need to talk to you

about the acting auditions on August 7th.

Remember I told you about the TV show in Beverly Hills?

The auditions are downtown,

and how you're gonna take me to the auditions and you would...

Yeah, I know, Mister.

Why is Pete in my room on my PlayStation?

Yo!

Go get something for dinner.

You don't you have any real money?

This is real money, Mister.

Straight up, I'm not babysitting, dude.

Mister, take Pete with you.

What you looking at, chopstick?

What'd you say to him?

I didn't say anything. He stole.

What? He stole.

Shut up.

And who told you to play with my PlayStation, anyway?

Don't ever touch my stuff.

Denied. Insufficient funds.

What? The card is out of money.

I will need another form of payment.

Fuck that.

Excuse me? Again, please.

Nothing. Just give me back the card.

You know what?

I think I'll give it to its rightful owner.

But it's my mom's, yo.

First of all, I am not your "Yo".

Second, tell your mom to come and get it if she wants it.

But not you. You are banned.

Banned? Banned for what?

Just leave before I call the police.

But I didn't do... Leave!

Why are you banned?

Why are you banned, Mister?

That's him. The one who stole.

Yo, you don't snitch, all right?

But stealing's wrong.

Look, people do what they have to do to survive out here.

It's candy.

What are you talking about? It's candy.

I heard you, man.

Annoying as hell. Damn!

Stay here.

The card is out of money.

What?

The welfare card.

Dude at the store said you have to come and get it.

Where's Peter?

I don't know. Somewhere.

I'm right here, Mister.

Why's he here anyway?

If I'm babysitting, his mom's is gonna pay me for real.

She give you money to pay me?

We're going out to eat.

What?

Go clean up. We're going to eat.

We don't have money to go out to eat!

Hey! Don't talk to me like that.

How are you, Peter?

Good. Thanks.

How was school today, Mister?

Same as always.

It was the last day, right?

Guess you're a freshman now.

You know Curtis from our building?

What about him?

He got nabbed today.

He did?

What for?

What do you think?

They took his son to Riverview.

Dude's like my age.

I always heard Curtis was into some bad stuff.

He should have known his ass would end up in jail.

He works for the same drug-dealing pimp you work for.

Eat your cheeseburger, Mister.

And what about his son?

He's stuck at the worst group home in the world.

He deserves that because his pop's a screw-up?

Jesus, would you eat your goddamn food and shut up?

I'll be back in a minute.

Yeah.

(WHISPERING) Yeah.

Why're you here?

Eat the rest.

That's okay. I'm... I'm full.

Eat the rest. Now!

Let's go.

No. Pete's not done.

He's not wasting that food.

He can take it with him, Mister.

He's not taking it with him. He's eating it now!

Finish it!

What the hell is wrong with you?

What the hell is wrong with you?

Sucking dick in the bathroom!

Keep the change.

Think big. Think positive.

Always go for the throat.

Buy low, sell high.

Fear? That's the other guy's problem.

Nothing you have ever experienced

will prepare you for the absolute carnage you are about to witness.

Super Bowl, World Series, they don't know what pressure is.

In this building, it's either kill or be killed.

You make no friends in the pits and you take no prisoners.

One minute you're up half a million in soybeans

and the next, boom, your kids don't go to college

and they've repossessed your Bentley. Are you with me?

Yeah, we got to kill the motherf... We got to kill 'em!

They want you to buy as much OJ as you can,

the instant trading stock.

Stay here. I'll be back.

Is it all right if I have some water maybe?

Man, I don't care.

Hey, do me a favor.

What? Run in there and get me a paper.

For what? To read, why else?

Where that Chinese nigga at?

He's not Chinese.

Where he at? Why?

Because I don't like him, that's why.

Something fishy about that nigga.

Man, whatever, yo.

Why you can't just go in there and get it yourself?

Man, what's with all the questions, man?

You gonna help me out or not?

I ain't gonna be your paperboy and shit. How's that supposed to look?

Man, whatever, Dip Stick.

What? What you call me? Punk motherfucker!

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

Oh, okay. We'll see!

We'll see!

We're out of cereal and milk and everything.

Take the card and go to the store.

I told you. Dude at the store took it.

You have to go get it.

I circled the ones you can do.

They probably don't care about background checks.

This is what you think of me?

I wasn't about to circle rocket scientist if that's what you mean.

Mister, what's your problem?

My problem?

You are gonna stop talking to me like I'm your goddamn child.

I'm your mother.

You think I'm satisfied with this life?
