Centro Vida preschool is $200 more a fucking week. Are you kidding me?
Well, that's because it's the only
bilingual preschool that I can get to on the train.

I got a complaint today that one of our trucks
was just honking and yelling at people. A black guy with dreads was
- just screaming at everyone. - Nah, nah, nah, that's...
- You don't have all the information. - Okay.
So what happened, Miles was honking the horn because...
- Miles. - There was a dude
- that wouldn't get... - Wait, Miles was honking?
He was the one who was honking the horn.
- We set it up so you would be the driver. - I was driving the truck. I know.
- No, I was... Nah. - We talked about this.
I was driving.
Keep your head straight. I was driving,
but if he reach across me
and honk the horn, then what I'm supposed to do?
Collin, just take some responsibility for the things
that are happening around you.
I'm not denying it. I'm just saying
that maybe this time it wasn't the black guy with dreads
that did it.

I know you're trying.
At least you don't wear that fucking grill anymore.

And they gonna use...
Oh, come on! Use bruh's work photo!

Marshall lived on 32nd Street with his girlfriend
and three-year-old daughter.

Isn't this something we could automate?
You want a robot telling you to mop the bathroom?
How about a robot that just mops the bathroom?
- Then I can go get some sleep. - Solutions oriented.
- See, I like that. - Even better.
How about motherfuckers just don't get arrested for dumb shit?
I see where we're going here, but if we could just get to it...
Then I don't have to enforce seemingly arbitrary tasks
to establish your ability to follow rules as a representation of law.
Arbitrary. That's the word right there.
Don't make me write you up for your last week.
The judge will extend your time here a year.
And then your little map box sentence starts over.
Convicted on dirty bathroom charges?
You are now a convicted felon,
Mr. Hoskins.
You are now that until proven otherwise.
Prove otherwise at all times.
Got it.

- What's going on? What's up? - Hey, yo.
MILES: Matter of fact, Ashley was just telling me it's 80K a year,
starting salary for OPD, but they don't even hire in the town.
So the person who pulls you over is actually from, like, Cupertino
- or some shit. - Why not just live in Oakland?
They probably worried that if somebody knew where they lived,
somebody'd come shoot them for all the dumb shit they do.
I don't know. Hey, bro, let me get a square, bruh.
What? Nigga, can I better myself?
Can I be courageous?

I'm adding a move. I will give it to Collin.
I hope it's moving you off your high horse.
Hi.

Your braids look good. Who did them for you?

It just kinda does this when I wash it now.
Yeah, it must be all the healthy living got me looking so good.
You know, my natural state.
You know, there's more to healthy living than just drinking kale smoothies.
- Yeah, I know. - I'm just saying,
'cause you have some major lifestyle things to...
It was a joke, Val. I know what healthy living is.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's none of my business.
- I was just... - Live your life.

(CAR ALARM BEEPS)
We get it, bruh! Your car has an alarm.
Congratu-fucking-lations. It's fancy!

Uh, hey, Collin...
Who braided your hair between yesterday and today?
Hmm?
- I, um... - Hmm?
Val came over to Mom's house,
- and she braided it for me. - All right. All right.
Air out, nigga. What is your problem with Val?
Val is a disloyal bitch.
When you were in jail, did she put money on your books?
Uh, did she come visit you even one time at Rita while you were locked up?
'Cause I'm pretty sure I went two times a week,
45 minutes each way.
- $500 on your book on day one! - Hey, she talked to me on the phone.
How gracious of her to have called you once.
And what did she want to talk to you about?
About changing up your lifestyle? Changing up your ways?
You're not a thug, drug dealer!
You went to jail on a fire technicality.
- Did I? - Yes!
How were we supposed to know that hipsters are so flammable?
Hey, Cuttie! What that boat do?
- Hey! - No way.
Shit, man, I got that joog for sailing, fishing, floating or fucking,
get you a flight to Boston at a private function.
Perfect for getting into some.
Let me put you on that water world, bruh.
Bruh, is it hot or cold, though?
Warm to the touch, no burn though.
What's the intel on the Vin Diesel?
- No fingerprints, bruh. - Dusty trail?
Very. It's Gucci.
Cuz cuz, I can't be around the way way with something outta pocket.
Ya underdig? Get blurped and I gotta peel out
for the Daytona five double-O 'cause I got a few hammers tucked.
Niggas got laundry, no bleach.
On mamas, this was in the cut.
Three bill joog though? What's the part two?
No sequel, bruh. Pockets is touching
so we just trying to get it off and do a moving.
(SIGHS) Cuz, I might have to let that marinate one time.
Bruh, if you really about that life,
this the come-up right here. Plus three bills ain't nothing
but a small thing to a giant like yourself.
I say let's make moves,
you throw me that three hundo right there.
I'ma clip the woo wop to the rear-view and less is more, ya dig?
Clip the wop to the rear-view?
By far.
- Fast! - Fast!
What'd he say?
Oh, I have no idea.
But he gave me $300 for this boat.
Sold! Sold, motherfucka, sold!
Mouthpiece for days, bruh.
People like the way I make 'em feel, man.
They like the bounce of that shit.
Everybody listen more when you make it sound pretty.
Tell you right now.
All right, hey, I'ma go back to the office.
I'll clock us both out.
Come back in like an hour though, we got the feast in a second.
- Got you. - Fo sho, right?
Yeah, I'll be right back.
She didn't come visit you one time, bruh.
I know. I was there.
- You're all set for Friday. - Cool.
- Awesome. Thank you. - Thank you.
(WHISPERS) I got her number.
That's just the office number.
I don't know. Maybe she lives here.
Yo, uh, excuse me, bruh.
Did you used to work the door at The Alley?
Yeah.
- That was like a minute ago. - Yeah, you did. Oh, shit, bro!
This is that motherfucka with the Scorpion Bowl at The Alley
that I told you about.
What dude with the Scorpion Bowl?
RIN: I never told you about the Scorpion King?
This is him!
We really don't have to do this right now.
Yeah, we do. Okay, okay, okay.
- You know The Alley, right? - TIN: Yeah, over on Grand?
- Yeah. It's an institution. - Oh, my God, this story is so fuckin' dope!
So the night is crackin'. I'm looking fly,
when this Colorado white boy saunters up to the bar.
He's like, "Wassup, bruh? Get me one of those."
And he orders the Scorpion Bowl.
This thing is like a giant swimming pool of fucking booze
with a flame in the middle.
It's like a white person's wet dream.
This dude sees the Scorpion Bowl,
and, like, he grows hair on his chest, like, his balls drop.
The motherfucka hits puberty right there in that moment.
His mind is... (IMITATES EXPLOSION) Blown!
BARTENDER: Hey, listen up, everybody!
It's Scorpion time!
Meanwhile, this nigga right here... Uh, excuse me.
- This gentleman. - You can only say that with me.
Yeah, my bad. I was out of my mind right then.
This dude right here is just standing outside working the door,
looking hella fresh, might I add.
There's this white boy on the stool and he's like hella hard.
You know what I'm saying? He got tatted up.
He's looking grizzled.
Now I'm blowing a cigarette.
- I thought that you said that... - I'ma gonna quit.
I'm gonna fucking quit, I know. All right? Just leave me alone.
I'm so sorry. He keeps interrupting me.
So anyway, Jason Biggs busts through the door,
and he's like, "Guys, guys, guys!
"Look at this fucking fire drink.
"It's fucking insane."
But then my dude steps up, and he's like,
"Hey, bruh, you can't bring alcohol out here.
"You gotta take that back inside."
Motherfucka Topher Grace responds,
"Calm down. I'm just gonna show my friends for like two seconds,"
"then I'm gonna go back inside, okay?
"And if I don't and you lose your job,
"I'll get you a new job, dawg."
(LAUGHING)
- What? - Right?
- Now, shit gets bad. - TIN: Now it gets bad?
'Cause you a bad man. You know what I'm saying?
So he's like, "The fuck you say?"
"I'll go back inside, right? I'll go back inside."
My man stops him like,
"You're done. Give me the fucking goblet thing."
"First of all, it's a Scorpion Bowl, okay?
"And second, no!
"I fucking paid for this thing."
And then he slaps his arm.
- Remember the white boy on the stool? - On the stool? Yeah.
Guess what? He's a fucking psycho.
'Cause he's like,
"Hey, you better know where you're at, fuckboy,
"before some real town shit happen to you."
And then, Neil Patrick Harris pushed him.
Hard!
- Would you ever push this dude? - I would not.
This motherfucka looks just like Krayzie Bone.
BOTH: ♪ Sawed-off Leatha face ♪

RIN: My man snaps like the fucking Incredible Hulk and he's like...
(ROARING)
Little white boy reaches up like The Undertaker.
Gets him in a fucking chokehold, right?
Then, Oakland white boy jumps in and starts kicking him.
And he's fucking Chuck Norris on this motherfucker, and he's like...
"I hate my dad!"
And they're just beating the shit out of Topher,
you know what I'm saying?
And it's a fucking menage a trois of violence, bro.
Now, mind you,
that drink is still on fire.
TIN: Oh, I forgot about the flame.
RIN: It is still burning.
That fire catches some of that alcohol and ignites.
And now that flame's rolling, rolling, rolling and...
(EXCLAIMS) They are ablaze. Whoosh!
Inferno, motherfucker!
Portlandia's on the ground, going up in flames.
And my ass is just standing there. I'm just like,
"Shit. Look out."
It's like Michael B. Jordan on fire
and Chris Evans on fire.
And you'd think the fight would be over, but, nah, this dude has lost it.
His fucking friend is like Michael Flatley in the Lord of the Dance
all over this motherfucker's face while he cooks.
And he's like, "Welcome to Oakland, bitch."
He's bleeding, he's cooking, these dudes is pounding on him.
Peoples is screaming.
Whoo! Fuck.
That shit was nuts.
Damn. That really happen?
Yeah.
It did.

VAL: Him and his white friend stomped that drunk dude
until he was unconscious.
He was in the hospital for a week?
And all over a drink.
Well, we gotta go.
- Well, this has been fun. - RIN: Yeah.
- All right. - Thanks.
(DOOR OPENS)
You're about to get a fresh restart.
You need to get rid of Miles.
- Miles is my best friend. - Yeah, is he?
'Cause I know you guys grew up together,
but he's gonna put you back in jail or he's gonna get you fucking killed.
Miles had my back since we were 11 years old.
When I went to jail,
Miles came and saw me all the time.
I'm not talking about this with you again. He came to visit you out of guilt.
'Cause he pushed you into a fight, and he didn't go to jail with you.
What if that dude had had a gun?
What if Miles' dumb ass had a gun?
What if the cops showed up
and they saw you stomping that white dude?
Who do you think they would have shot? Miles?
Good night, Val.
- I'm just... Collin, I'm... - Yeah, I know.

Wait. I got a better idea. Let's race again.
- 'Bout to beat you in another car race. - No, you won't.
Hey.
Made those bed pieces.
I mean, they weren't... Wasn't... No, not these ones.
But ones just like it.
Where do you make beds?
In jail.
Why were you in jail?
For being a tough guy.
ASHLEY: Dinner's ready!
Coming, Mom!
I'm tellin' ya, I'm gonna let you finish,
but don't fuck up my chart board.
'Cause I just got that.
This is gonna be just fine. Don't worry about it.
- Hey, Collin. - Yeah.
You gonna smoke with your friend here?
I think I'm good off the weed now.
- Wow. - MILES: It's like I see that it's him,
I hear that it's him,
but then he gonna say some shit like that.
What am I over here doing this for?
- Changed man, I guess. - I don't know this person.
Okay, change. For what?
(WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY)
- He don't want weed no more. - Oh, okay.
Oh, now you conspiring against me too?
He picked this especially for you.
What is this?
You got me a present?
You wanna touch a tender thug in his emotions
with this beautiful gesture of love?
- You're so stupid. - Look at this! Boy!
Come here. Give me a hug. Yes, thank you!
All right. Do me a favor. Hold this for one second.
Good job.
This shirt look kinda small, don't it?
ASHLEY: Oh, let me see. Let me see.
- Oh, baby, you look so good. - Baby, you look so good.
This is like a little baby T.
What are y'all talking about? No!
You look hella good.
I can see every little thing in your arm.
Yeah, it's framing your pectorals.
- You can see this tattoo. - Real nice.
- One of my favorite tattoos. - Man, this shirt is too small.
- And both of y'all know that shit. - No, it's not.
- Look at this little baby shirt! - No, it's not.
- You could pierce the nipple and... - That looks so good.
- No. No. No. - It looks amazing. It's perfect.
Look at this little thing. I can't...

Baby, put that down.
MILES: Put that down, man.

No.

You couldn't just make it yours for two fucking seconds.
No! It's not mine!
And I didn't want to have shit to do with that fucking gun in the first place!
Don't make it yours then. Just make it not mine!
I'm not gonna bring a gun around a little kid, Miles!

- Oh, fuck you! - Say it!
Say, "Yeah, my nigga!"
- No, and you know... - Why? Why?
- Come the fuck on! - But... But why?
'Cause you know I don't say that shit!
But what? So it's okay for me to call you nigga, nigga?
You been calling me that since we were fucking 12 years old.
I'm not gonna stop you now. Do what the fuck you want to,
- say what you want to say. - Nigga, if that is so disrespectful,
then why is it okay for me to call you that?
You're a fucking nigga!
- You're a fucking nigga, Miles! - Why are we talking about...
You out here acting an ass
like it ain't no fucking consequences for that shit.
And every nigga who sees me thinks that I do the same
dumb, fuckin' ignorant, gun-carrying shit that you do!
But I've been taking care of my shit!
I fucking... Don't I do our timecards every week?
I pick us up. I keep you out of dumb shit,
and then what do you do?
You go out and you buy a fucking gun for what?
For your family?
You are the nigger that they are out here looking for!
(LAUGHING)
MILES: Where the fuck you goin'?
Where the fuck are you goin'?
Collin!
Well then, fuck you then!
You hear that?
Then, fuck you then!
You better not have no fuckin' gun on you, 'cause...

- Ow, Ash. - Shut up.
- Ow, the shit's broken! - Shut up!
I got into a fucking fight! The fuck you want me to do about it, huh?
You wanna fight about the shit too?
You're picking the wrong fights, all right?
This is already hard. This is work. He is work,
and I don't feel like you are here with me right now!
I didn't buy that gun on no tough shit, all right?
I know why you thought you needed to buy a gun!
Just let me ask you something.
Were you afraid
when you came out here
and saw Sean holding a gun?
Yes.
And do you think
if you would have possibly told me about buying a gun
that I might have seen the scenario coming?
I'm sorry. I didn't...
I'm sorry.
Well, maybe if you niggas weren't so wild all the fuckin' time.
Could you not call me that?
What, "nigga"?
Yeah, can you not call me that, please?
Okay.
(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)
Hi.
Um...
How's the...
How's the memorizing coming?
Yeah, just trying to learn these psych terms.
What did you come up with
for the double picture one?
The face and the vase one?
Oh, I like that one.
It was "blindspotting."
Why "blindspotting"?
'Cause it's all about how you can look at something,
and there can be another thing there that you aren't seeing.
So you got a blind spot.
But if somebody points out
the other picture to you,
doesn't that make it
not a blind spot anymore?
No, 'cause you can't go against
what your brain wants to see first.
Unless you spend the time to retrain your brain, which is hella hard,
so you're always gonna be instinctually blind
to the spot you weren't seeing.
Collin?
When you look at me now,
do you always see
the fight first?

Just gotta put my shoes on. Come on.
Nah, I'm good out here.
Fine.
Congratulations, Collin.
COLLIN: Thank you, Sean.
It's real nice of you, bruh.
- (PUNCHING) - Ow, okay.
Okay. It's not a good time. Sean.
Sean, all right, cut it out.
Sean, all right, enough.
I'm serious. Sean, enough.
Enough. Hey! Hey, stop!
Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
ASHLEY: What did he just say?
Oh, are you outside practicing with Collin?
He's a little too young for the pamphlets that your mama gave us,
but I'm trying to get ahead early.
(TRUCK DOOR OPENS)
- Good morning. - Commander Moving for Rachel.
So, it's just a ton of boxes in the living room, mostly.
Uh, my son and I are gonna take off,
but my, um, husband is inside somewhere if you wanna go...
MILES: Okay, so everything is just in here then?
- Yes. - (ALARM BEEPING)
Um...
RACHEL: Sorry about that. I canceled the service,
but it beeps by default when it's open.
Just close the door behind you when you're done.

Does this scare you, huh?
Fuck you know about being scared?
Were you afraid someone was gonna come find you?
Huh?
- Bruh. - COLLIN: What? Nigga, I'm just...
I'm just talking to him!
Ha!
You said make it pretty, right?
It's the bounce of it. They like the bounce of it. (CHUCKLES)
Like a tree on a sign, nigga, we cut right down.
Paul Bunyan-ass cops,
come to chop me at the knees
and search the trunk in my own town.
Did you count his rings when you bled him?
Huh?
When you dead him?
Do you understand? How old was he?
Nigga, how old was he?
- He was 26. - Twenty-six?
That's how many years you decided didn't mean shit.
All this talking don't mean shit.
I mean, shit!

You good?
No.

Heather Neel in the hills, so...
You got anything else you wanna get off your chest,
I feel like now's a good time, 'cause I don't think we can
point another gun at a customer,
I feel like we get, like, one of those a day,

Everything is upside down today, man.
Whatcha want me to drink this green juice too, huh?
That make you feel better?

Fuck it, man. Fuck it.

Oh, hell, no! That's the next move?
Oh, it's my time to air out now, boy!
Shit, I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind
about her lil boyfriend.
He a town traitor, as far as I'm concerned.
I mean, how the Raiders gonna move to Las Vegas?
Unacceptable!
COLLIN: So what, y'all fucks with the Raiders now?
MILES: Don't be absurd, Collin.
That would be disloyal of me to do.
- I can't stoop to their level. - (LAUGHING)
I'm just mad at them forcing me into this very confusing position.
- COLLIN: Uh-huh. - MILES: Loyalty is tricky, Collin. It's a moving target.
COLLIN: Bet you wish you were a better moving target.
MILES: You tryin' to talk about my face, bruh?

COLLIN: Hey, you look fucked up.
