Give Me Liberty (2019)

And the doctor told me,
"James, you'll never walk again
in your life."
I said, "Man, get
the fuck out of here.
"You're full of shit.
I'm gonna walk."
But... I went to therapy,
and everything
I had to do, I did,
to try to walk on my own.
And I'd be damned
if that doctor wasn't right.
I never walked since that day.
And that hurts me
by being a quad.
But... life,
it is what it is.
Life is wonderful.
Life is beautiful.
I love life.
You can't fool me.
I love... I love
everything about life,
even the ducks,
the chickens, the rats.
Love...
Love conquers all.
That's just my belief.
And when you have love,
you got everything, in my life.
But I went a long time
without love.
And I've been the lonely one.
I call myself "the lonely one."
And I say that for a reason,
because have
to reach out so hard
to get friends,
but they're not right.
And you know they're not right.
And God does not like ugly.
You got to deal with people
that's on your level,
not on their level...
you know.
You're going to be late.
You're going to be late.
You have to be
on the bus at 7:45.
You're going to be late.
You have to get on the bus.
I gotta go.
I gotta go. I gotta go.
I'm gonna be late for work.
You're gonna be late.
Grandpa!
No... No cooking, okay?
No cooking. No cooking.
7:45, Lilya's funeral.
You cannot miss it. Okay?
The van is at 7:45.
Don't be late.
What?
- Now, come on, man, what the fuck?
- Just help me.
You know, now you're gonna make me...
You're gonna make me late now.
- All right, this shirt.
- I need to brush my teeth.
Okay, you got it.
Where are your pants?
The hamper in the closet.
Here's your brush.
Hey, can you hand me that?
Yeah. You know what, fuck it.
We'll wash it later
We don't have time for you
to brush your teeth now.
- You really gotta do something about this.
- About what?
When was the last time
you used that elliptical?
Fuck off, man.
I did weights last night.
- Yeah, I can see that.
- Just help me already.
I'm working on it.
You're gonna make me late for work now.
Let's get your walker.
- All right...
- Help me with these pants.
Yeah, yeah, I got you.
Okay. You good?
Let's go. Let's get
you out of here.
- All right.
- Come on.
- Come on, come on, come on, come on.
- Yeah, I'm comin', I'm comin'.
This is ridiculous.
I can't do this for you all the time.
And we are out of here.
- You're not gonna head to the west side today, do you?
- I don't know.
You didn't see that shit
on the news last night?
- All right...
- Chirpin', man. They're...
Goddamn it, man.
What, did you take those dumbbells to go?
Hey, man, I just lost 90 pounds
in the hospital, okay?
Come on.
Let's get your hat back on.
- So you look pretty.
- Yeah.
Let's go.
They burned some houses down
last night.
- In where?
- The west side, man.
That's all they do
in this country is protest.
Nobody's happy anymore.
They're fucking upset
about everything, you know.
We live in the United States
and they're unhappy.
You know, we live
in the land of the free
and they're fucking mad all the time.
People got the most freedom
of anywhere.
The police had
to call in the SWAT.
Everyone's got some kind
of problem with something.
Nothing, nothing is right.
Everyone's upset,
they're fucking mad.
All they want to do
is fucking protest.
Fucking protesters,
they're never fucking happy.
I mean, fucking look at me.
I've got things
I could fucking bitch about.
Fucking whine.
I fucking can't walk.
I got to take four shots
of insulin a day.
You hear me bitchin'
and complainin'? No.
It's just so unrealistic that
these people are so unhappy.
Just live life already.
Stop complaining so fucking much.
I just don't get it, man.
So glad I can't see
these people.
- I would be so angry.
- All right...
You know, I've been goin'
through so much shit, man,
since my dad died in '03.
And nothin' but bad luck, man.
No money. My father died.
He had a heart attack.
I got that call
in the middle of the night.
And this was way back in '03,
and broke my heart.
Then I lost
my fuckin' eye sight.
Then I broke my leg.
Hi, Vic. How you doin'?
- Heard you're going to in the talent show.
- Yes, I am.
- Know what you're gonna be singin'?
- "Rock Around the Clock."
"I Want to Hold Your Hand"
from The Beatles.
Oh, yeah?
I love The Beatles.
- Absolutely killer.
- She was named after The Beatles.
Really?
And her brother was named
after a soap opera.
Really? Which one?
Days of Our Lives.
Alex Marshall.
Your boyfriend's gonna be
in the show?
Her boyfriend sings like Elvis.
Well, is he gonna help you out
in the talent show?
Uh, I'm gonna see him
at the concert.
I don't know. I think
you need a new boyfriend.
I don't know about that.
- How you doing today?
- I'm doing good.
How you doing?
Can't complain.
So, uh, you're a big Elvis fan?
Yeah. And Michael Jackson.
Yeah...
It's gonna be out front with
you, Michelle, Okay? Okay.
Put your seat belt on.
I hate Elvis.
I went to Graceland.
You know what I hate more
than Elvis though?
- Hmm?
- Impersonators.
Why do they spend their whole
life trying to be Elvis
- when... they can't?
- I don't know.
Yeah, I really just,
I just don't like
his music and all.
Then you got these people
who dress like him,
try to sound like him.
They devote
their whole life to being Elvis.
I just listen to his music.
I just don't like the guy.
To listen to Elvis,
he just doesn't do it for me.
In high school, there was this
guy that looked like Cliff Clavin.
And I let him know every day
that he looked like Cliff Clavin,
and he called me an asshole.
His dad looks like Cliff Clavin too.
Yeah, my fishes
and I go way back.
I came here one time,
and I was in a fit of rage,
and I had...
I just had to eat it.
- You're comin' to pick me up, aren't you?
- No.
How am I gonna get home?
I don't have any rides left.
Dude, I don't know.
I'm gonna be at work all day.
You gotta pick me up, all right?
I have no way to get home.
Just give me a call later today
and we'll see what happens.
- Make sure you come get me, man.
- One o'clock...
Give me a call later
and we'll work something out.
- Gonna rock around The clock tonight
- Be there in 10 minutes.
Vic, are we gonna be late?
Yeah, I'm... I'm on my way.
Just give me another ten minutes
and I'll be there shortly.
Are we gonna be late
for the talent show?
Vic, I can't miss
the talent show.
I can't miss it.
You guys are still here?
I called it in.
I don't know.
They should be here any minute.
What floor?
Seven-oh-two.
Lilya.
- You going to the funeral?
- Funeral? What funeral?
Lilya's funeral.
My aunt, 702? Lilya?
Lilya? Man, what funeral?
Yeah, she died
like a couple days ago.
But how? We talked
like three days ago.
- On the phone.
- I'm sorry.
- What happened, man?
- I don't know. I'm sorry.
Floor six.
But Lilya's my aunt.
You know you're not supposed
to be cooking by yourself, right?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- I got him.
How many times did I tell you?
You cannot cook without me home.
Look what you did!
They're gonna get you evicted over this.
Where are we gonna live?
Put your pants on, Grandpa.
Grandpa, come
on, get dressed, we got to go.
One, two, three.
What is this?
Baseball bat?
I thought
it must be big. You know?
That's his meat
tenderizer slash nut cracker.
Never in my life,
understood this fucking game.
- Pitcher.

You're 30 minutes late.
How much longer?
I'm on my way.
I'll be there in ten minutes.
What happened here, man?
How people can live here?
Oh, that sucks.
Hey, hold it right there.
What the hell are you doing?
What's going on?
The road is blocked.
There's a protest.
You can't go this way. You're gonna
have to go all the way around.

Steve, I know. I know.
Hello. How are you?

She's not feeling well, so...
So all of 'em got to get off?
Come on.
Michelle, boo, I'm gonna

Sorry about this morning.
Who knew this was gonna happen?
I love how the accordion
got off this van before I did,
knowing that I'm supposed
to be getting off here.
But that's cute.
That's real cute.
- Sorry, Steve.
- Two minutes.
I didn't know this
was going to happen.
I didn't know.
I didn't mean it.
We scheduled this
without these people.
Have you ever seen these
people on the van before?
Please know that I still
have to get off here.
Cool beans. Don't even.
As long as I get off of this
van, it's all that matters.
Go ahead.
I hope you guys have a good day.
They get to go wherever
they want to go. We're late.
My main man Steve.
Finally the driver does
something right today.
Yeah, Steve. Careful, don't...
Careful, don't rush Steve.
Hey, Steve.

Don't blame me.
Okay.

Does that work for you?
Okay, cool.

Okay. All right.

Can't you see I love you?
Please don't
Break my heart in two

Go to the passenger door.
It's unlocked.
- Okay. All right.
- Okay. Thank you.
Oh, thank God, Steve,

Baby, I don't think
I can open these.
Keep trying. Keep trying.
Look up. Happy birthday!
Oh my...
You should not have.
Of course.
What do you mean?
Look what I got him.
Oh, wow. I...
I love it.
This is a lion too?
This is my favorite animal.
Well, you know, you're my lion.
I was trying to surprise
you, but, you know,
the driver messed that up.
Okay, so before we
forget, I have this box.
I need to take it to your place.
Okay, sure.
Why, what's going on?
'Cause of my aunt.
She's gonna be moving into my room
when I move in with you, so...
- Why is your aunt moving?
- Who knows?
She's always got some
personal problems going on.
I ain't got time
for her right now.
So I need you to take this, um,
and hold it for me, all right?
Hey, can you hold
onto this please?
I can't bring it inside.
- Yeah, I mean...
- I can't bring it back inside.
- Oh, okay.
- Okay.
All right, Steve, be careful,
I'm gonna tuck it right here.
Okay, be careful
'cause it's sharp.
I don't want you to get hurt.
Oh, gosh, Steve,
- What box, this one?
- Yeah, this one right here.
I need you to grab that
and take that to your car.
Can we do this later tonight?
- Later?
- Yeah. Yeah.
I mean,

I'm gonna be
at that pizza party.
Oh, yeah, that's right. Okay.
Well, how long

"Now I'm fucking tired.

And he say, "You can kill me.

Thank you.
I know you.
The first day I laid my eyes
on her, I knew I loved her. I knew it.
And she felt the same way.
I fell in love at first sight.
I've been trying
to get in touch with her,
I've been trying my best
to try to just,
just hear her voice
to talk to her...
I still love her.
I loved her, man.
Love is blind sometimes, okay.
So what made her so special?
It's the way she treated me,
and it's the way she loved me,
and it's the way she took...
the way she cared for me.
And I haven't met
a woman since, until now.
Yeah, you still want
this cigarette?
Yeah. Thank you.
You got it, man.
Your life'll never be
The same
So you "sing" sing,
but you don't "sing" sing?
No. I'm... You know...
I'm not really, you know.
- I don't really "sing" sing.
- Oh, oh, oh, okay.
Kinda like how, you know,
I don't really "walk" walk.
You know?
Just like I don't "drive" drive.
Right, exactly.
Kinda like how you're,
like, not on time.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Exactly.
Yeah, Ma.
I told you I'm on the way.
All right, I'll see you later.
Ma, I can't talk. Can't talk.
I gotta go. I gotta go.
Hey, you remember what
you were sayin' to that guy?
Somethin' about,
like, the records?
Were you makin' that up?
- No, not at all.
- You know you can download for free.
I'm well aware that, thank you,
but it's just, it's something
about vinyls, you know.
A certain type of quality.
People nowadays,
they don't, they don't hear it.
- It's almost like their deaf.
- Vinyl? That's like your thing?
That's like what
you're into and stuff?
I mean, clearly, 'cause you got a
whole box of it just sittin' here.
My sister was
just holding onto them.
She's moving
right now, and, uh...
You know, I'm movin' out.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm movin' in with my boyfriend.
That's pretty cool.
This chair is broken.
I can't even move around.
I ain't movin' no-damn-where.
- I'm sorry about that.
- I can't get around my house.
You need
to bring the van back to base, now.
They want the van here
on the lot.
- Do you copy that?
- All right, all right, I'm on my way.
They're gonna call the police
and report the van stolen
if it's not here
in the next 20 minutes.
Okay, okay. Let me just drop
'em off and I'll be right there.
You need to hurry up
and get that van here,
'cause they will report
the van stolen.
Damn, man, what's goin' on?
Just some bullshit
at work. Fuck it.
Fuck it.
It's fine. Fuck it.
"Fuck it", right, Steve?
Fuck it.
Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it.
They need to go
to the grocery store, you.
They have to go
to dialysis, you.
They have to get home, it's you.
But if you're 30,
40 fuckin' minutes late,
I can't have that.
They can't do what you can do.
That's why you're doing
what you're doing.
That's why you have that job.
I give you chance after chance,
and all you give me is your ass.
- How you doin'?
- Good, good.
- You seen Martin?
- Yeah, he's in the break room.
Looks like you fucked up
big time this time.
I did everything
I could to help you.
- All right.
- All right.
I really need this job.
I got way too much bullshit on my mind.
I got a grandfather at home...
Nobody gives a
shit about your grandfather.
Your grandfather's not
my problem. That's your problem.
You're supposed to take care
of your grandfather.
I don't think you give a fuck
about nobody but yourself.
You care about yourself.
- That's absolutely not true.
- Give me my fucking key.
Okay, so when you run late...
- Quinton!
- Yes?
He has to take up your slack.
Vic has a lot going on
with his grandfather.
And I got a lot going on, too.
When that phone rings,
I have to take up your slack.
How can I take up your slack
when you're out fucking off?
My problem is
to run this company.
My problem is to make sure
that you have a job.
If you can't give me what I want,
how can I give you what you want?
We are four drivers
short for the disco party pickup.
Would you like me to cancel it?
We'll take care of it. Vic!
Grilled feta cheese omelet.
Then they brought me soup.
- Then they brought me a Philly cheese steak...
- It's your lucky break.
With fries and onion rings.
Then they brought me,
like, some more soup.
Some chicken dumplings.
Chicken noodle soup.
They just kept feeding me.
What the fuck took you so long?
They kept bringing me food.
Apple pie, man,
with ice cream on it.
What do you expect's
gonna happen?
I'm never gonna
lose weight that way.
But then you leave me
in my favorite restaurant.
Six fucking hours.
I got a girl, man. You know that?
She's absolutely beautiful.
- How the hell do you know?
- Touched her lips, man.
Touched her lips.
That's how I see in this world.
She changed my luck, man.
Shit, the other day,
she got me to fucking dance
and I can barely stand up.
You know, I've been going
through so much shit, man,
since my dad died.
- What is this? What're you doin'?
- It's ours, man.
What do you mean, ours?
What's ours?

- Open. Try it.
Try it. Try it!
More, try it.
Get up. Get up. Get up.

Up, lift it, lift it!
Come on!
What the fuck

No, other side. Come on.
What the fuck are you doing?
Fucking hurry up!
Oppa, we got it, man.
Come on. Get dressed.
I've got to go to work.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
It's my money.
My aunt, my money.
It's my money.
My aunt, my money.
I only relative, you know?
I don't get it, who get it?
- Come on. Let's go.
- Who get it?
- I'm running late for work already.
- Managers.
- Let's go.
- I give you share, man.
- Share of what?
- We split.
No.
Hello, my darling.
What do you need

What? Come on, Grandpa. What?
- Grandpa, come on...

Alright, let's go. Last one.

No luck in love today.
Today, no luck in love.
You guys are
not supposed to be here.
Get the hell out of here.
Oh, yeah, you're
weak today, motherfucker.
You're really killing me
right now, okay?
You just, you have no patience.
You with this...
You with this damn couch, Ma.
Give me ten minutes
and I'll be right there, okay?
You can't be pressuring me
like this...
Dima.
- Dima. Dima.
- Dima.
I never asked you to do anything.
I don't know why you did it.
We got to take the couch.
Get up.
We just ate at the wake!
Come on, go, go get the couch.
Oy!
Mom, I...
- When we were in Prague, my husband bought it.
- I'm so sorry.
We were close to concert.
What happened?
Yeah.
What money, Mom?
Mom, I'm not going to school.
I'm fine, and I don't
need your money.
I never asked you to save any money for me.
Please. I'm begging you.
You shouldn't do that.
Mom, I'm done with this!
Leave me alone, please! I'm begging you!
Push it!
I'm happy!
Dima, what the fuck?
Eva! Eva, please. Eva, please!
Where is my glasses? My glasses.
Oh, again, I don't know.
Where is my glasses?
My, God. My glasses, my glasses.
Do you have any salt?
Salt?
Let me, let me, let me, let me.
So sorry.
So sorry.
I'm such a fool.
Salt cabbage.
Take off your clothes.
Try it on.
Oh, my God.
You look great.
So cool.
Wait, what are you doing?
Dima.
- Dima, where you going?
- Mama.
Mama? You can't leave
the couch like this.
- This is normal.
- I can't...
People sit down, eats, eats,
drink beer, this is cool.
Not in America.
It's not normal.
Pick up the couch.
Don't go inside. Come here.
Where?
Just keep going.
I'll tell you.
Left. Left.
Left! Left!
- How long?
- 10 miles.
Fuck you.
Keep going!
Is this real true,

Yeah.
Left.
When?
Two months ago.
- Why?
- Heart attack.
America.
Hey, your got
your sugar mama yet?
What's up?
Don't you be late now.
I owe you one.
You bet your ass you do.
Talk to me.
That's what I'm here for.
You're just like my son.
I'm talking to you
like I would talk to my son.
'Cause I love you, son.
And you're not even my son.
What, you're one of
the nicest kids I ever met.
You're respectful,
you're honest,
and you're dependable.
And anything you need
to know, you ask me.
And if I don't know, I'll be
damned if I don't find out.
To tell you.
That's what fathers are for.
When I was your age,
I had plenty of ambition.
Why don't you have any?
Not once have you told me
"I want to do this."
"I want to do that."
"I wanted to be this."
"I wanted to be that." Why?
I'm just asking you
a question, man-to-man.
Or father to son.
Like I do my own son.
Can you answer that for me?
I don't know yet. Uh...
I guess I didn't find
my purpose yet.
You know, some things
you just can't explain.
It just happens.
And when good things happens,
you got to grab it
with all you got and try
to keep it the best way you can.
I'm telling you
the facts, not fiction.
What I know.
I know you're young.
But you're not dumb.
Be yourself.
The most important
part about life
is livin'...
That's what you know how.
You got the rest of your life
until you die to be something.
'Cause at the end,
it's gonna wind up
and something, or nothing?
What do you want out of life?
Man-to-man?
Something or nothing?
Oh, look who it is?
The runaway!
Yeah, sorry about that.
- Ran away, huh?
- Can I come in for a second?
- I guess you need Trace, huh?
- Yeah.
You can have a sleepover.
Look... Look what you did.
- Yeah, man, sorry about that.

I was really
in a rush this morning.
- Yeah, okay.

- Sorry to kind of barge in...
- Trace!
- And intrude in on your dinner.
- Oh, hi.

What? I can't, I'm with
my grandfather right now.

I'd like to meet him.
Thank you, guys, for having us.
- It is enough.
- That's enough?
- Enough, yeah.
- All right.
Sorry about earlier, man, I didn't
mean to leave you hangin' like that.
Man, it's all, it's all right.

What's going on

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, hey, there's the girl!

Actually,

I guess, for my fuck up today.
I borrowed it from a friend, temporarily.
At least until

So at least we can go

Ma, I'm 18.
I'm not 17 no more.
Y'all can go, 'cause y'all
makin' too much noise.
A'ight, we out of here.
Peace.
- Bye.
- Nice meetin' you.
So mine says,
"He who hurries cannot walk with dignity."
- That's a good one.
- Mm-hmm.
So mine says,
"The one good thing
about repeating your mistakes
is that you know
when to cringe."
I think that makes sense, right?
It does.
Somebody ought to know.
"Wisdom comes from experience."
Hey, hey, hey!
- Really.
- It sure does.
I asked you to keep on
sittin' down
'cause I want, I want
to tell you a story, okay?
My kids,
they don't know how I am.
They don't understand
why I'm like I am in life.
They don't.
And, you know,
they knew of their father,
but not long enough,
and the thing is,
is with their dad,
he... he...
He-he... He was, um...
He was a gambler.
And then after I found out
that he was a gambler...
They don't know.
And I don't know.
Oh, can I tell him?
Should I tell him?
I was embarrassed.
I was so embarrassed.
I didn't think
they would love me no more.
My God...
I'm so sorry.
You know we love you.
"The sure way to predict
the future is to invent it."
That is the truth.
Oh, Sis, we love you.
- Roll the paper...
- Mm-hmm.
And just grab it right there.
- Grab some tape...
- Mm-hmm.
On point of tape, and...
Yeah.
So all you have to do
is kind of spin it,
and I'll try to catch the track.
- Okay.
- So...
Just spin it like this?
Yeah.
So let's try to get it goin'.
Whoops.
Keep it goin', come on.
- Didn't we just fuck up the record?
- Totally.
All kinds of fuckin' up.
Oh, wait,
now my hand in the way.
Okay, here we go.
Here, hold my hand right there.
Hey, so, uh,
what's up with the sword?
It's a gift for my boyfriend.
Why a sword?
I don't know.
Nice. Very nice.
No. Uh, he collects them, so...
Oh, yeah?
He's got a big collection?
Hmm?
This is his first one, so...
Does he know he collects them?
Shit, he does now!
- Oh!
- Da!
Well, my family cooks chicken.
I'll help.
Plus,
I learned to cook chicken with my grandma,
- but not like that.
- Yes, you're right.
No. You're taking me
back to my childhood.
It smells like fried chicken.
I wish the children of today
had learned to cook
with their parents,
- their grandparents, and...
- Yes. Yes.
Yes. Heh.
They know nothing about cooking.
Children and food.
Children and food,
that's what we need.
- Yes. Yes.
- Oh...
We can't move in together
because you want to try something new?
I already got boxes packed.
My family knows
I'm movin' in with you.
So what are you
talkin' about right now?
- They're not gonna kick you out.
- I can't go back there.
Don't you understand that?
Look at me.
Look at me.
What do you see?
You can't be playin'
with people like this!
I want to try something new.
I want to get out.
This whole thing doesn't even
make sense to me right now!
What are you...?
You are a grown-ass man.
You're on fire!
Vic? Vic, can you take me home?
Can you take me home?
I don't understand
anything that you're saying.
Mom, calm down. Mom, calm down.
Please. Please. Calm down.
Okay. I'm on my...
I'm on my way home.
I'm on my way home. Bye.
Stop!
Stop, driver! Stop!
- Calm down.
- Mom, calm down. Step back.
- Mom, step back!
- Get him out!
Get who out?
Get... Get...
Clayton's been locked up.
Why you springin' this up on me?
You're bringin' up somethin' on me.
What is this?
I ain't always bringing
jack up on you.
He was out there
with his friends, protesting.
It's a thousand dollars.
It's on you.
Why do I have to go get him?
I don't have no thousand dollars!
- I don't either.
- That's on you!
- Why don't you go get him?
- Miss Whoop-Dee-Do that's got her money,
that's gonna
be leavin' her family...
- that's gonna be leaving us.
- Mom, step back so I can talk to you.
'Cause you're not makin'
no sense right now.
You have got to go
and get your brother.
And that's that.
- Why?
- Because I'm cold.
What the fuck?
Come back over here.
I'm cold and I'm motherfuckin'
sick and tired.
Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom.
Ma. Ma.
Ma. Ma. Ma.
I have
a friend who's in trouble, Mom.
That's all you need
to know right now.
You need to find $5,000.
Can you do that for me?
- I will do but tell me...
- Can you do that?
- What happened? And for whom?
- Mom, I just have a friend that's in trouble.
I save it for you.
I just need
to help somebody, okay?
And you need to help me right now.
Can you do that for me?
Mom, please.
Please do that for me.
Please, Mom.
Will you just go?
- Fine, fine. Please.
- But it's a concert. What can we do?
Mom,
I really need your help tonight.
Mom, it's for a friend.
Just listen to me.
Just trust me. Please.
Please, I need it right now.
I need it. Really, I have a
friend who's in trouble. I need...
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's an emergency.
I won't play, Mom.
Where's the money?
- Mom, where is it?
- I think where I put it.
Where's the money, Mom?
I put it in couch.
- What?
- What's up?
Mom, where's the money?
He wants the money.
I want to give him,
but we put in the sofa.
What's up?
The money's in the fucking...
- The money's in the couch.
- In the sofa.
Dima, Dima, Dima, Dima.
- Whoo!
- Dima...
Dima. Dima.
Dima, listen.
- Couch, money.
- Listen to me.
- What money?
- Tracy's brother is in trouble.
He needs the money.
Can you help me?
- Do you have any money?
- Of course.
How much you got?
- How much you need?
- 5K.
No problem, man.
Vic...
Where you going?
Vic...
Is 1K enough?
I hope so.
I drive there every day.
Nothing's gonna happen.
I work there.
Nothing's gonna happen,
I'm telling you.
- What are you doing?
- I'm coming with you.
- No, you're not.
- You know I am.
Fine, suit yourself.
Vic, we got to go
to the station, please.
We're going.
Oppa!

An even number of flowers
in Russia is for the dead only.

You jealous?
Why would I be jealous?

Sir, I have to go in there.

You can't come in the building.
I have every right to go in there.

You will immediately disperse.
You may move to L Street East.
If you do not do so,
you will be arrested.
If you refuse to move,
chemical agents
and other weapons will be used.
Our streets!

You must not interfere with...
How do you do this?
I mean, I just do.
I do what I do just like
everybody else does.
I'm not sure even
what you're asking.
I mean, what I do ain't
different from anybody else.
I do what I want,
that's for sure.
I mean,
I can go wherever I want.
I can go to Chicago.
Got a bunch of folks
in Chi-town, you know?
But I choose to stay here.
May not like it all the time,
but it's my choice.
You know?
You know, my mom's a little
rough around the edges and stuff,
but who else is gonna
take care of her?
That's why I do what I do.
How do you do it?
God got a purpose
for everything.
We might not know what it is,
but each and every day,
there's a purpose for everything.
At least I think so.
That's just my opinion.
Everything is done for a reason.
Least that's what
they say, so...
Who am I
to question that, you know?
You fucked it friend
It's on its head
It struck the street
Just got to try
to live your life
the best you know how.
You're in Milwaukee
Off your feet
You know?
And you'll be okay.
At once I knew
I was not magnificent
Anything else?
Strayed above
The highway aisle
Jagged vacance
Thick with ice
And I could see for miles
Miles, miles
3rd and Lake
It burnt away
The hallway
Was where we learned
To celebrate
Automatic bought the years
You'd talk for me
That night you played me
'Lip Parade'
Not the needle
Nor the thread
The lost decree
Saying nothing
That's enough for me
And at once, I knew
I was not magnificent
Huddled far from
The highway aisle
Jagged vacance
Thick with ice
And I could see for miles
Miles, miles
Christmas night
It clutched the light
The hallow bright
Above my brother
I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen
To make it
What it was to be
Now to know it
In my memory
And at once, I knew
I was not magnificent
Huddled far from
The highway aisle
Jagged vacance
Thick with ice
And I could see for miles
Miles, miles
