:53:00
You're shucking. I ain't never
gonna get no damn job...

:53:05
...not with people like you around.
:53:08
I beg your pardon?
:53:10
You ain't deaf.
:53:14
I said, if we all get jobs,
it'll blow your game.

:53:18
Yeah, game.
All you middle-class, bourgeois-ass niggas.

:53:24
I know where you coming from.
:53:26
All of y'all got the jobs,
and you making your money off of us.

:53:30
Right on.
:53:31
Administering to your lesser
brothers and sisters.

:53:35
All us poor, deprived ghetto children. Shit!
:53:43
Now, what you high-toned niggas
make for this jive-ass number...

:53:47
...you running down on us?
15,000?

:53:51
And Mr. Durrell, 15, 20,000?
:53:55
Well, if it wasn't for niggas like us,
y'all wouldn't make shit!

:54:03
And where y'all live?
Not around here, I bet you that.

:54:06
Am I right or wrong?
:54:09
So don't blow smoke up my ass
about no frigging job.

:54:16
-My mama didn't raise no fools.
-That's right.

:54:19
Now, I got enough attention span
to know what's happening.

:54:23
What's happening is, I can recognize
a poverty pimp...

:54:28
...when I see one.
:54:31
What's happening is bourgeois bullshit.
:54:36
Barbara, you're not going to get me...
:54:39
...on some kind of middle-class guilt.
:54:43
I went to school, Barbara.
:54:46
I put in my time and I paid my dues.
I went to school, Barbara.

:54:52
It was hard work and I worked hard.
:54:56
My ass bleeds for you.
