the next one, the next one...
And all them ones after that.
You got this job here. We good.

The only reason I'm here is because I don't wanna be
drowning in debt once I graduate.
You won't though. I got you.
I don't wanna feel like I'm gambling my future
away until you can.
You don't trust me Bri?
Of course I believe in you.

I'll consider it.
Why are you so stubborn?
It's a blessing to have my parents supporting us.

[Brianna] I, I can do more than that now.
Hey, you have any plans of getting back in the ring soon?

You ever think of discounting those tickets?
What makes you say that? I'm not worth your money?
No, no, no. You put 'em away so quick.
I go to take a piss or or get a drink and that's it.
The show's over.
Ay man what they give me is what I get.
[Sophia] You know he's just joking.
No.
Money don't grow on trees.
Aw. And I think I like it like that,
when they don't hurt that pretty face of yours.
Right Bri? - Mhm. Me too.

[Miles] I'm sorry Brianna.
[Brianna] No, it's okay.
Everything is okay.
[Lorenzo] It's not okay. It's like God is playing some
sick joke on me.
[Sophia] Oh and what the fuck is that supposed to mean?
Okay. Seriously. First of all I, I got a son
that acts like a daughter
- Dad?! - then I have a 16-year-old
daughter that's up here pregnant.
I'm 21 and I'm free
to do whatever I want
with my body. - Clearly you think so.
What the...
I want you to take that back right now.
'Cause I know you meant none of it.
Brianna has grown into a
young, beautiful, strong woman.
And Miles, come on.
Miles is perfect just as he is.
Y'know I think it's about time for us to get going.
No, no, no, no.
We have, we have a cake. I'm gonna go slice it up.
Naw, naw, really, really. I think we
overstayed our welcome. Bri? Come on, let's get outta here.
[Sophia] Ah, no, no, no, no, no.
You're not going anywhere.
In fact, no one is going anywhere.
Okay?
I am going to be a grandmother
and we are going to celebrate by eating that cake.
So Brianna honey, please go get your brother.
[Sophia] Here, pass that to me honey.
[Sophia] Brianna,

You know why they call it the ends though, right?
[Lee] Because you either end up in the bin
or in the ground.
Oh shit.
Actually might be some Freaky Friday shit.
Yeah, but nah.
Most people here-
their stories go nowhere.
No beginning, no middle.
It's just this here.
The end.
Come on.
This place ain't built for us to win.
So I'ma just take my chances and do what I gotta do.
Carefully.
[Lee] Ay bruh-
[Lee] You can literally be whatever you want man.
And I'm talkin' specifically about you Nate.
Not on some like-
fortune-cookie-woo-woo type bullshit man.
(phone lock clicking)
[Nate] Let's get this video done.
- Iight. - [Nate] I got an idea.
[Nate] Gimme the paper.
Look.
All you gotta do, is read it.
[Lee] Mm. I like that. I like that.
[Lee] See man, your mind built different bruh. Come on.
Ay man, you got some nice ass handwritin'.
[Lee] On some girl shit. For real.
The ladies wish they had this man.
But let's go.
Shit.
Hey everyone,
this uh Liam 'Lovely' Dela Rosa.
I'm going
to be fighting this April... 6th at
the uh... Star Tech Centre.
Please come out and...
show some support.
It would mean a lot.
Thank you.
Love...
[Lee] Iight let's make sure you get this last bit iight?
[Lee] Love,
Lee.
[Nate] Wooo! Ahhh!
(static noise)
(mechanical whirring)
[Jeweler] Wow! Look at that!
(kissing teeth)
I don't know man.
[Lee] The length lookin' a little short.
What are you talking about?
[Jeweler] This is the way it's supposed to be.
[Jeweler] If too long, doesn't look good.
You sure about that?
This is perfect for you my friend.
Ay man, you can gimme a discount right?
I already give you big discount. This is good price.
- What about 300? - I lose money for 300.
- 350? - 450.
- 400. - 450.
(exhaling)
Ay man, look,
I'm a boxer.
Like- (punch grunting)
You know what I'm sayin'?
And I got this big fight comin' up.
Everybody gon' be 'axing' me where I got this from-
and I'm gon' say right here from your shop man.
You fight on TV?
No TV. Not yet though.
Boss come on man. Like I'll be back
again and again and again.
Okay. For you 440.
[Jeweler] This is the best price.
(pot simmering)
Okay. Whatchu whippin' up Bri?
[Brianna] You'll see. (chopping)
[Lee] Maybe I should just see.
What's that?
Hm? I ain't say nothin'.
[Brianna] That shiny thing around your neck?
Oh this. Looks good huh?
It looks expensive.
[Lee] I got a good deal on it.
That doesn't mean you should get it.
[Lee] Relax Bri.
I got money comin' in tomorrow.
You sayin' I can't have nice things?
I never said that.
Then what's wrong?
[Brianna] Nothing. It's fine.
- Iight. - Here-
Taste this for me.
[Brianna] What do you think?
(lip smacking)
It's fine.
Lee one baby's enough. Cut it out.
[Lee] Iight so tell me what's the problem then.
We got new priorities, you know?
And the money can go towards more important things.
This is important though. You know, I gotta look good.
You know, dress the part.
Exactly. It's a part. It isn't real. And for who?
I think you look just as good with or without any of this.
So don't do it for me.
What's that?
I only heard the part you said I was lookin' good.
Shut up.
[Lee] Ugh nah, I get it.
- You do? - [Lee] Yeah I actually-
ordered a little something for you at the shop
that I was supposed to pick up tomorrow.
But, but yeah, you right. I should just cancel it,
get the refund. You don't need to be doin' all-
Hang on. [Lee] Hmm?
It's a little rude don't you think-
for them to like pack it up and everything?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You right.
[Brianna] It don't take a lot- - It'd be wrong
to just like waste they time like that.
- Yeah, exactly. - [Lee] Iight. Hmm.
[Lee] Okay okay. Cool.
Ay uh, it's great by the way.
I hope you didn't spend too much.
[Lee] Nah I mean, yo- (kissing teeth)
lil' mishmash you got goin' on
in that- that thing. - Actually?
(Lee kissing teeth) - Mhm.
- Mmm. - Yeah.
It's almost as good at those lips.
Mm mm. Dessert.
Damn.
Come on. Hurry up then. Finish that up.
(door lock buzzing)
[Lee] Hey hey hey, my friend!
Lee!
See? I told you I'll be back man.
I do not refund eh?
I know, I know. I just uh-
I just wanna take a look at your uh-
your woman's jewelry.
For your girlfriend?
[Lee] Yeah.
Which one?

(boxing timer beeping)
(grunting) (punching bag thudding)

Slow down. How you doing? How's Brenda?
Brianna about to be mad as hell

What is this? Is the money here or not?
[Leonard] It's in. It's in.
So where it at then?
[Leonard] I got it for you right here.
(paper tugging)
What is you doin' man?
[Leonard] I borrowed some money.
What? Whatchu mean you borrowed money?
I'ma get it right back to you
soon as I sort some shit out.
Yo how's it borrowin' if I never got the money in the
first place? You straight up stealing from me man.
[Leonard] Listen man,
I was in a pinch and I needed the money.
Well you puttin' me in a goddamn pinch right now.
What do I look like to you? Fuckin' uh-
fuckin' Scotiabank?
[Lee] How much you take? - Some.
[Lee] And how much is some?
- 500. - What?
Plus 500.
What is wrong w-w-
why would you even say it like that?
I borrowed a thousand.
[Lee] Yo Lenny, don't play with my money like that.
[Leonard] Listen Lee, I'm good for it. You know me.
It's not like I'm gonna run away.
Yeah? How do I know that? You fucking crook.
You can trust me.
I already pay you more than I should
and you go pull some shady shit like this?
How the fuck I'm supposed to trust you?
[Leonard] I'll have it for you in a couple weeks.
It was a one time thing and I'm sorry.
[Lee] Well I can't pay no damn bills with sorries man.
This shit messed up. Why the fuck I always get some

Nah, they're trying to get rid

What you got in there?
In this box-

- Come on. - [Lee] Who is it?

(kissing teeth)
Yo that ain't no endorsement Nate.
That sound like some fuckin' favour.
Don't worry man.
Yo you start wearing that,
sales are gonna be rollin' in.
Dawg, we're gonna be laughing.
Ay I don't know bruh.
[Lee] What made you think this a good idea man?
This shit look kinda wack if I'm bein' honest.
I'm the designer.
Ay- ay, you know what? Like-
It do feel like super soft though.
That's what I'm saying.
Ayo Nate-
I actually came down here 'cause
I was wondering if I could borrow a shirt.
Yeah, you got that one right there.
I got like 50 of them right here.
Nah, I mean like, like a nice sh-
(clearing throat)

You know like with them, them buttons and stuff.
Yeah hold on. I got you.

[Server] You can pay later.
[Lee] Harold?
[Harold] Yes hello. Speaking?
Hey it's uh- it's Liam.
Lee.
[Harold] Lee? How's it going buddy?
[Harold] Training hard I presume?
I'm just at the, the cafe on Rosewood.
We was supposed to meet here today.
[Harold] Oh shit.
[Harold] It completely slipped my mind.
[Harold] I'm sorry Lee. I feel terrible.
Yeah, we uh- we actually talked about a few weeks ago.
[Harold] Uh listen Lee, I'm gonna have to reschedule.
[Harold] I'm actually out of town for the next little while.
[Harold] I got a few minutes right now.
Is there something I could help you with?
I just wanted to sit down
and have a chat about what's goin' on.
[Harold] Absolutely. In regards to what?
When I s-
when you signed me,
the picture you was paintin' me
and what you actually showing me
lookin' like two different things to me.
[Harold] It's a process Lee.
I'm not afraid of the lights. You know that.
[Harold] I know, I know Lee. How do I say this?
Superstar fights are given
to superstars and even though you box like one-
Damn right I do!
[Harold] Just speaking from a business standpoint,
on paper-
you're not quite there yet.
How the hell I'm supposed to get there
if I never get the shot you supposed to give me?
[Harold] Okay. Okay. How about this?
[Harold] Once I'm back in a couple of weeks,
we'll pick this up at a cafe
or something and get down to it.
[Harold] How does that sound?
You know what it? It's 'iight.
I got nun' else to say.
I don't wanna be disrespectful
and waste yo' time like that.
[Harold] You sure?
Yeah, I'm sure. (distant cutlery clanging)
Take care.
[Harold] Okay then speak to you soon buddy-

(shifting stroller)
Babe, what do you think about this one?
Yeah it's nice. (Lee chewing gum)
You said that about all of them.
[Lee] What you want me to say?
I don't know but you could at least
care a little bit more.
Of course I care.
Okay, well there are more words in the English
language besides nice.
(Lee chewing gum)
I'm sorry I'm not some fuckin' like-
slick R&B pretty-boy poet.
I think this one nice.
That one nice.
The one there nice.
They all nice 'cause I know damn well we gon' end up
choosing the one you like best regardless of what I say.
Okay so, why am I asking you then?
I don't know. You tell me.
Because-
this is your child too.
So you should give a damn about
how we're gonna get her from point A to B all the way
to fucking Z until she can walk on her own two feet.
Okay.
This the one.
I love this one right here.
It's got- it's got this thing and like the wheels they-
you see they super smooth. It's great.
Better? That help you Bri?
(Lee chewing gum)
No, because I like the other one better.
(scoffing)
(gum chewing continues)
(jolly music playing on intercom)
[James] Yeah. Yeah for sure I-
[James] Yeah.
Uh...
You're welcome.
Lee it's okay.
Anyways, I-
Ay go back inside.
[Brianna] What are you doing? Stop it.
Excuse me?
Yo I want you to walk back through that door
and open it for yo' god damn self man.
Yeah I'm gonna have to call you back. Yeah-
(James laughing arrogantly)
- [Brianna] Lee relax. - [James] Can't you see
I'm on the phone?
(grunting)
(phone smashing) - [Brianna] What the f- Lee!
- Dude what the fuck? - [Lee] How 'bout now?
[Lee] You still on that phone?
[Brianna] Lee! That's enough.
Let's go! - I would call the cops
but it's a little too late for that.
You don't know where I'm from bruh.
I don't.
And I also don't care.
So if you're not gonna pay for a new phone, why don't you
and your hoodrat girlfriend
go back to where you came from.
- [Brianna] Oh my god. - Fuck you just said?
(grabbing clothing) (James gasping)
- [James] What the- Ow! - [Brianna] Stop.
[Brianna] What the fuck are you doing? Liam stop it.
[Brianna] Stop!
Take it back. Take it back before sum' else break!
[Brianna] What the fuck are you doing?
Liam!
(Lee panting aggressively)
(train rattling on tracks)
(contemplative somber music playing)
(train wheels screeching)
(door opening) (chimes ringing)
(door creaking then shutting)
Lee don't you wanna-
Fuck! (kicking cardboard box)
Fuck! Fuck Fuck! (kicking box repeatedly)
What the hell's wrong with you?
These people don't give a shit about people like us.
[Brianna] People like us?
Brianna you know exactly what the hell I'm talkin' about.
Why should they? They don't know you.
They don't know us.
Oh really? No shit that fuckin' prick
ain't know who I was.
[Brianna] Lee, these people don't love you.
So why do you care?
I care because I work so fucking hard
and I got nun' to show for it.
Who are you showing out for?
Because it doesn't sound like it's me.
The one person who actually loves you.
I'm having your child Lee. Is that not enough for you?
Please don't make this about you.
Well it is because I'm the one having to put up
with this temper tantrum bullshit
you're pulling right now.
What's the matter with you?
Why are you always fighting?
Why are you so angry?
I get it, you're a fighter
but that doesn't mean the fucking world is
one big boxing ring.
How can I not be angry huh?
You think I like it here?
You think this where I wanna be?
Do you hear yourself?
Was it not you who asked that asshole
if he knew where you're from?
You're lost Lee.
You can't talk about wanting to be elsewhere
then go wave around where you're from
like some fucking flag.
If you woulda asked me five years ago where I'd be,
and I show you this here, you don't think it sound like
some big fucking joke?
I live here too.
It's way more than just the place Bri.
I know.
I also live in your big fucking joke.
So does she.
How you think that make me feel? Huh?
If everything you ever done don't mean shit
and you can't do a damn thing for the people you care about.
So why don't you give up fighting?
That's not fair.
You have no right to talk about fair.
What the hell I'm gon' do? Work at the mall?
Wh-what's wrong with working at the mall?
I ain't mean it like that iight?
But you realise what you asking of me is not that easy.
And all of this has been so easy for me, right?
You don't think there's things I wanna do with my life?
You're not the only one with dreams.
How the fuck am I supposed to stop doing the one
thing I known all my life?
Make up your mind.
You can't be mad at where you are
if you're too scared of where you're going.
I'm not asking you to give up boxing Lee,
but wake up - You know, I ain't got ti-
whether you like it or not your life doesn't just-
where the fuck are you go-
Where the fuck are you-

(movie playing on phone) [Male] I didn't make it.
[Female] Ah naalala ko nga.
[Female] Umiyak ka pa noon.
[Female] Sabi mo hindi ka maglalaro.
[Male] I wasn't crying.
[Female] Paano mo malalaman na papasok ka this year?
[Male] I don't know ma. Maybe this year's different.
[Male] You don't believe me?
[Female] Believe naman ako sayo.
[Female] Ayoko na masaktan ka ulit.
[Male] It kind of hurts right now. So thanks.
[Male 2] Aya pinaiyak mo ba. Ako lang mag sa-sign.
[Male] I'm- I'm not crying.
(faucet running) (dishes rattling)
[Sophia] Oh. Bri honey-
let me take this from you. - Ma no it's okay.
Aw honey no. You shouldn't be doing this work.
Okay, right.
(dishes rattling)
Ma, thank you for dinner.
It was very good as always.
Aw, thank you honey. You didn't think it was too salty?
No, no. I loved it. It was just the right amount.
Ah good. I'm glad to know that.
(exhaling uncomfortably)
Hey, I've been wanting to ask,
is there something on your mind, something bothering you?
No. N- uh- I'm just really full.
Bri honey,
this is something that you're gonna have to learn
for yourself, but you can tell when something's bothering
your child, even when they're telling you otherwise.
Tell me what's on your mind.
(scoffing shamefully)
I- I don't know. I don't-
I'm just, I'm struggling
and I don't, I can't even, I can't keep up
with anything and,
and I feel like I should withdraw from the semester.
But I know that's so stupid- - No it's
- Because I don't- - not stupid.
It's okay. It's completely fine.
No, but I- but I can do it though. You know?
I- I- I can make it work. I- I can push through.
I know I can. I'm so close.
And I know you can too baby.
I know that you're capable of the world.
I wish I could have been even half of
that when I was your age.
But guess what?
Being strong also means knowing when to stop
so you can take care of yourself.
And this little one here.
I wanna just finish and- and make you guys proud
and- and just get through it all and just-
Listen Brianna, I've been so proud of you long
before you throw on that gown
and that piece of paper means nothing to me
when the person holding it loses
themselves trying to get it.
Look at me. You are gonna change this world.
Do you understand?
Now, before your dad finds out,
I stocked up on that ice cream that you love so much.
(giggling)
Mango sorbet?
Yup.
[Brianna] Aw...
I love you.
[Sophia] I love you too baby.
I love you.
Way more than the ice cream.

[Sophia] God I sure hope so.

Like- as a friend
or a therapist, whatever you want to call it.
I help people walk with their back straight.
I swear Nate grew like two inches last time
the man left the chair bro.
(laughing)
You know how he is. I just- I give people the confidence
to make them feel good about themselves.
That brings me joy, you know?
Yeah. I ain't never thought about it like that.
Wear what you do on your chest bro.
Like what you're doing's bigger than boxing Lee.
I had never told you but-
part of the reason why I even have the shop
in the first place.
(hair trimming)
(slow hopeful score playing)

(coffee pouring)
[Server] How about you sweetheart?
[Lee] Sure. Y'all got "expresso"?
[Server] Sorry, just the drip.
(coffee pouring)
Alright, what can I get for you guys?
- I ain't that hungry. - [Leonard] Boy, stop lying.
You always hungry.
Now hurry up and order before we waste
this young lady's time.
- [Lee] You sure? - I didn't bring you
all the way out here to eat by my goddamn self.
I'll uh-
I'll have what he's havin'.
Sure. Um, what would that be?
I will start with some scrambled eggs...
Some whole wheat toast. An omelette. Western.
Sure.
And...
some home fries, fresh fruit,
some oatmeal with mixed berries.
Lots of mixed berries.
- [Server] Sure. - And...
some chocolate chip pancakes please.
- Yeah. Is that everything? - Yes, thank you.
And we're doubling up, right?
- Uh- - [Leonard] Yes.
[Server] You got it.
- Thank you so much. - [Server] You're welcome.
You tryna' make us sick?
Your coach ain't no bum.
Look man...
I ain't mean that and all that other shit I said.
I know you didn't 'cause you were talking some nonsense.
[Lee] Sorry Lenny.
Sorry? Save the sorry for the Missus
with that other dumb shit you be doing.
- [Leonard] What's that? - What? This?
Yeah, that piece of paper you're fidgeting with.
This my resume.
Oh this ought to be good. (pulling on paper)
Let me take a look.
(paper rustling)
Did you get your girlfriend to write this up for you?
Nah someone else did.
(paper tearing)
You don't need no resume Lee.
Talk to me. What's going on?
I'm scared man.
Scared of what?
How the hell I'm gon' take care of this kid
when I barely have my own shit together?
[Leonard] You do the damn thing.
You'll make it happen.
Now I know you ain't afraid of no fight
so I know you won't run away now.
I get scared sometimes.
That means you care about what you do.
That's different though. That's boxing there.
This shit here is real life man.
Bullshit. Boxing is your life.
I don't know.
[Leonard] Don't know what?
How the f-
How long can I keep lying to myself
that this boxing shit is what I should be doing my life man?
Lying? What the hell you talking about lying?
You're the one confusing me.
- You don't get it man. - What don't I get?
- Tell me. - All of it.
I don't gotta explain it to you.
What don't I get? Tell me.
Please don't try to act like you understand
because you don't.
Of course I won't understand
if you don't tell me what the fuck's going on.
Just- just stop man.
You do this shit all the time like-
tryna' sound all smart and wise and shit
and I hate it. It's the fuckin' worst.
So please stop man.
I know. I'm sorry. It's just-
Noisy? I get it.
I don't want to be a shitty father
and I don't want it to happen
'cause I'm stuck chasing this stupid dream
that don't even feel like my own anymore.
Who said we can't do both?
And who said what we're doing is stupid.
You're talented boy.
I swear to God. Now it breaks my heart to see you like this.
If you decide you want to hang it up,
well it's been a pleasure working with you
the last few what? 10 years?
I don't know.
A lot of years of eating dirt, hard work.
God made you dumb as a bird,
but he made up for it by blessing you with those hands
and for you to throw it all away,
it's like slapping God in the face.
What the hell?
Do you worship the devil Lee?
Are you a satanist? - No! Fuck no man.
Good. Listen to this.
Imagine a life where you didn't go for it.
Could you live with yourself if you didn't choose that one?
I sure as hells couldn't.
That's why I be yelling at you from the corner.
Now I'm no future telling motherfucker,
but if you want it and you stick to it,
the other side doesn't look so bad.
I can't say when, but you'll have your day. Everyone does.
Oh there's our food. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.
[Server] You're welcome.
Just a question. Did you bring your wallet?
(scoffing)
- No you cheap fuck. - Fair enough.
But if you eat any of this,
I expect to see you back in the office,
ready to work.
[Leonard] Mmm this bacon.

Nothing. He's in the fourth grade though. Smart as hell.
I guess he didn't get it from you, huh?
Thank God. Or else he won't be so good lookin'.
(Lee chuckling)
[Lee] Mm.
I'm sorry man. This shit crazy bruh.
I known you prolly' like,
longer than he's been on this earth.
How come you ain't never tell me about him?
You never asked.
No shit I never asked.
You expect me to like, read yo' mind or sum'?
Listen, how it works with me and him
is a little complicated alright?
Now, what I do expect from you is
take your boxing to new heights.
Not throw a pity party in your mind
every time you look at me.
- Yeah, I gotchu. - [Leonard] Good.
You probably got some people waiting on you.
You should get going.
(paper bag rustling)
Ay, y'all want any of this? It's like real healthy stuff.
[Leonard] Nah, we'll be alright.
There's a small joint he likes to go to
after we finish up here.
Okay.
(paper bag rustling)
Lee, take some time for yourself.
Give me a ring when you're ready to get back in.
You know me man. I'm good to go.
Anybody. Anytime.
Congratulations Lee.
Ay thank you sir. (shaking hands)
Ah, come here. (patting backs)
Appreciate it man. All of it.
(patting back)
I remember when you were a little shit
walking into the gym for the first time.
[Lee] Ay I'll see you around Lenny.
Now look at you. You're still a piece of shit.
You too.
(sentimental music playing)
Hey champ, what's your name?
(sentimental music continues)
What's that coach? Y-y-you change yo' mind
'bout this grub?
What's her name?
I forgot to ask you about that.
Aliyah.
(sentimental music continues)
(footsteps walking away)
(fun upbeat music playing)
(loud snoring)
(hopeful music playing)
(birds chirping)
(birds flying away)
(footsteps running)
(hopeful music continues)
(stroller wheels rolling)
I remember when we was in kindergarten,
when we was just uh learnin' to read and write
and all that. (Brianna yawning)
They had us do this exercise where we would draw a picture
and then write a sentence about it.
(playground ambience)
Sorry, I'm listening. What'd you draw?
Yeah, so uh- (giggling)
I'd draw this park right here.
[Lee] That yellow slide.
That yellow ladder thang.
And the sentence I wrote was,
I like to go to the park.
I would do the same thing again and again
'cause it was the only thing I knew how to write.
What the hell? How do you remember that?
I don't know.
Okay well, it's a little random
but it's nice that you held on to that.
(children playing in distance)
I don't want her to grow up
lovin' the same park that I did.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
If it made you happy and it does the same for her,
then why not?
Yeah, I guess so.
Ay won't some of this stuff go bad out here?
(Brianna yawning)
Bri.
Hm?
You wan' get some sleep? I could steal her for a few hours.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
(plastic bag rustling) I-I was gon' bring
those home first.
It's okay. I can take them.
It's quick. I don't mind going back.
It'll be quick for me too.
I'll see you two later.
(plastic bag rustling)
[Lee] It ain't heavy though?
I carried her around for nine months.
I think I got it.
A'ight. You got it.
[Brianna] Lee don't do no foolishness with her.
(playground ambience continues)
(short grunt) - How you doin'?
(grabbing stroller) You okay?
You alright? You sleepy? You a sleepy little baby?
(calm optimistic music playing)
(pigeon flapping wings)
(calm optimistic music continues)
[Lee] Aliyah look at that.
Who that?
You see daddy in the photo?
Yeah? It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Who's that?
It's okay. It's okay.
Yeah? You wanna play with that?
You wanna play with this? (hitting speed bag)
Ah!
Ou, no?
(Aliyah starts crying)
Aw it's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
(Aliyah crying) Shh sh sh sh sh sh sh shhhhh.
It's okay.
(Aliyah continues crying)
(Lee gently shushing) (Aliyah crying louder)
I got you. Everything's gon' be fine.
(Lee gently shushing) (Aliyah crying)
It's okay. (Aliyah calming down)
