00:14:20,393 --> 00:14:23,530
NARRATOR:
That was as close as my father
came to being a lawyer.
350
00:14:23,563 --> 00:14:26,299
Keep your mouth shut,
I'll be there in a minute.
351
00:14:26,332 --> 00:14:27,367
Okay.
352
00:14:28,468 --> 00:14:31,705
So, what are you selling
these things for, anyway?
353
00:14:31,738 --> 00:14:33,973
A class trip
to Washington, D.C.
354
00:14:34,007 --> 00:14:36,242
You got any
peanut butter Do-Si-Do?
355
00:14:36,276 --> 00:14:37,610
Just these.
356
00:14:37,644 --> 00:14:40,980
Chocolate chip, huh?
357
00:14:41,014 --> 00:14:42,449
How much are they?
358
00:14:42,482 --> 00:14:44,217
[***]
359
00:14:44,250 --> 00:14:46,152
NARRATOR:
Say what you want about cops,
360
00:14:46,186 --> 00:14:48,621
they sure got
a mean sweet tooth.
361
00:14:48,655 --> 00:14:51,391
Sign right there
and you're all set.
362
00:14:56,463 --> 00:14:58,465
It's okay, they
just got chicken pox.
363
00:15:03,470 --> 00:15:05,739
Uh...hi, Dad.
364
00:15:05,772 --> 00:15:07,140
Come on, let's go.
365
00:15:07,173 --> 00:15:08,541
Are you mad at me?
366
00:15:08,575 --> 00:15:10,110
Yeah, I'm mad.
367
00:15:10,143 --> 00:15:11,711
I wasn't doing anything wrong.
368
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:13,279
Tell him.
369
00:15:13,313 --> 00:15:15,448
Hey, I never said you
didn't do anything wrong.
370
00:15:15,482 --> 00:15:17,217
You were standing
outside a store
371
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:18,618
claiming you had
stolen goods.
372
00:15:18,651 --> 00:15:21,087
It's not illegal,
but it ain't right, either.
373
00:15:21,121 --> 00:15:22,689
You listen to your father.
374
00:15:23,790 --> 00:15:26,459
He's a smart man.
Thanks.
375
00:15:26,493 --> 00:15:29,529
NARRATOR:
Before NWA, you could actually
leave a police station
376
00:15:29,562 --> 00:15:32,265
with the same amount of teeth
you came in with.
377
00:15:32,298 --> 00:15:33,667
Dad?
378
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:35,435
Can I still go on the trip?
379
00:15:36,369 --> 00:15:38,138
Yeah. Come on.
380
00:15:38,171 --> 00:15:41,074
NARRATOR:
While I was dreaming
about getting out of jail,
381
00:15:41,107 --> 00:15:43,176
my mother was dreaming
she was a Dreamgirl.
382
00:15:43,209 --> 00:15:45,145
Look who's back.
How was the play?
383
00:15:45,178 --> 00:15:47,614
Oh, baby,
it was incredible!
384
00:15:47,647 --> 00:15:49,015
You would have loved it.
385
00:15:49,049 --> 00:15:50,383
How are the kids?
386
00:15:50,417 --> 00:15:53,486
Well, Tonya's asleep,
Drew's fever is down,
387
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,422
and Chris got arrested.
388
00:15:55,455 --> 00:15:57,724
But the only thing
that matters is that
389
00:15:57,757 --> 00:15:59,225
you had a good time.
390
00:15:59,259 --> 00:16:01,795
What? What do you mean
Chris got arrested?
391
00:16:01,828 --> 00:16:04,264
It's over.
It was a misunderstanding.
392
00:16:04,297 --> 00:16:05,799
I went down
and took care of it.
393
00:16:05,832 --> 00:16:07,600
Are you sure?
394
00:16:07,634 --> 00:16:10,136
Yeah. Did you have a good time?
395
00:16:10,170 --> 00:16:13,173
I had a great time!
396
00:16:13,206 --> 00:16:16,209
Oh, baby,
it was incredible.
397
00:16:16,242 --> 00:16:18,144
Thank you so much...
398
00:16:18,178 --> 00:16:20,447
Well, as long as
you had a good time.
399
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,415
[***]
400
00:16:26,486 --> 00:16:27,787
What's wrong with you?
401
00:16:27,821 --> 00:16:29,522
Nothing.
402
00:16:29,556 --> 00:16:31,057
Something.
403
00:16:31,091 --> 00:16:32,492
What?
404
00:16:32,525 --> 00:16:35,295
What's wrong is you spent
our anniversary with Sheila.
405
00:16:35,328 --> 00:16:36,696
How could you
go without me?
406
00:16:36,730 --> 00:16:38,465
Baby, you told me to go.
407
00:16:38,498 --> 00:16:41,368
I didn't mean it.
It's just like when you tell me
408
00:16:41,401 --> 00:16:44,270
not to get you a gift. I was
just saying that to be nice.
409
00:16:44,304 --> 00:16:46,339
I didn't want the tickets
to go to waste.
410
00:16:46,373 --> 00:16:48,608
And I wanted you to go
and have a good time.
411
00:16:48,641 --> 00:16:50,543
I'm just mad that you did.
412
00:16:50,577 --> 00:16:53,346
You know you're not making
a bit of sense, right?
413
00:16:53,380 --> 00:16:54,647
I know.
414
00:16:54,681 --> 00:16:56,349
Forget it.
415
00:16:57,450 --> 00:16:59,185
How were the seats?
416
00:16:59,219 --> 00:17:01,354
You don't want to know.
417
00:17:01,388 --> 00:17:02,489
That good?
418
00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:04,090
Yup.
419
00:17:04,657 --> 00:17:05,825
Damn, Risky.
420
00:17:08,628 --> 00:17:10,130
What's this?
421
00:17:10,163 --> 00:17:12,699
I made a little stop
on the way home.
422
00:17:12,732 --> 00:17:13,867
Happy anniversary.
423
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:16,403
Oh, you got me a card.
424
00:17:16,436 --> 00:17:18,538
Julius, just open the card.
425
00:17:24,244 --> 00:17:26,780
Knicks playoff tickets?
Mm-hmm.
426
00:17:26,813 --> 00:17:28,348
[BOTH LAUGH]
427
00:17:28,381 --> 00:17:30,650
Risky said they're
the best seats in the house.

[WHISTLE BLOWS]
429
00:17:31,851 --> 00:17:33,687
Oh! Yes! Yes!
What happened?
430
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,756
That's right, Clyde!
That's right, Clyde!
431
00:17:36,790 --> 00:17:38,858
Thank you, baby!
Oh...
432
00:17:38,892 --> 00:17:40,660
Uh-uh. No.
433
00:17:40,694 --> 00:17:42,796
Uh-uh...
434
00:17:42,829 --> 00:17:45,231
Our anniversary
ain't over yet.
435
00:17:45,265 --> 00:17:47,667
Ooh...
Ooh, did I say that?
436
00:17:47,701 --> 00:17:49,169
Mm...
437
00:17:49,202 --> 00:17:50,470
I said it.
438
00:17:54,708 --> 00:17:56,176
Oh, man, I can't wait!
439
00:17:56,209 --> 00:17:58,278
We're actually gonna visit
the senate floor!
440
00:17:58,311 --> 00:17:59,779
Did you know,
for security reasons
441
00:17:59,813 --> 00:18:02,482
there's no direct route
to or from the White House?
442
00:18:02,515 --> 00:18:05,151
Just in case somebody
tries to kill the president?
443
00:18:05,185 --> 00:18:06,686
They need to do that
in Bed-Stuy.
444
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,388
Hey, cell nerd.
445
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:09,756
What's that on your cheek?
446
00:18:09,789 --> 00:18:12,826
Huh?
It looks like chicken pox.
