...and you call that being cool.
That's called masturbation.

1:09:03
That's right.
1:09:05
It may make you feel good,
but it does not produce life.

1:09:08
It is time you all start
pulling your own weight.

1:09:13
It is time you start being responsible
for your own existence.

1:09:17
It is time you had a say
in how you live or how you die...

1:09:21
...instead of doing everything in your
power to fail because it's easier.

1:09:25
Hey, Durrell, lighten up. Damn.
1:09:27
Yeah. You ain't gotta
come on us like that.

1:09:30
Now, listen. For reasons of my own...
1:09:32
...I got a stake in y'all doing
something and not failing.

1:09:36
So I'm going to keep these
size 12s up your behinds...

1:09:39
...until you get into a position
where you can get a job and keep it.

1:09:44
We're gonna cut out every
excuse you ever use to fail.

1:09:47
Hey, Durrell, that's cold.
1:09:49
Life is cold.
1:09:50
What you get out of being
so good to us, sugar daddy?

1:09:53
I got a soft heart,
sweetie baby.

1:09:57
Now...
1:09:59
...if you have the slightest interest in not
going to your graves a total nothing...

1:10:05
...we are going to play the "interview game"
on a professional basis.

1:10:11
John?
1:10:13
You be the boss.
1:10:14
Adrian, go get the job.
1:10:18
All right, move it! Move it!
You're on salary.

1:10:30
-Good morning.
-Where's your smile?

1:10:33
-I ain't no Tom.
-You gotta be a Tom to smile?

1:10:36
-What you got against the boss?
-Forget the damn boss!

1:10:38
That is so smart. That is smart.
You walk out...

1:10:41
...but he's got a job and you haven't.
But you showed him, right?

1:10:47
Look, you go to get a job because
you've got to feed yourself.

1:10:51
Or your family. And walk with pride
because you are doing it.

1:10:55
No welfare, no unemployment,
no rich relatives, no church charities.

1:10:59
Your own ass is on the line.
