[Man talking indistinctly] >> man: eric, be back in a minute, all right?

Keep hitting.

Hey, frank.

Frank... Got a minute?

[Punching bag thuds] >> [conversing in spanish]

>> Mira,i just got off the phone with the promoter for the december fight at the garden.

>> Oh, yeah?

What did they say?

>> Pulling you from the card.

>> You'’re kidding me.

Why would they do that?

>> Come on, frankie, you know why.

>> Yeah.

>> Nothing I can do.

>> Right.

>> Don'’t worry, papi.

There'’ll be other fights, right?

>> Hell, yeah.

[♪...]

[Rumbling...] [Brakes screech]

[Faucet running] >> I mean, they can'’t just do that.

You have a contract.

>> They can do whatever they want.

>> Well, sue them.

>> Yeah, well, who am I gonna sue?

Wh... Who am I gonna sue?

I can'’t sue nobody.

>> Mom, justin hit me!

>> No, I didn'’t, she's lying.

>> Did too!

>> No, I didn'’t!

>> Did too!

>> No, I didn'’t!

>> Woman: then who was a liar?

>> She'’s lying!

>> Just... Go wash up.

Dinner'’s ready.

>> But...

Do you see that?

>> Hey!

>> Go ahead.

You heard your mother.

Get out of here!

>> Well, she...

>> Woman: now! Now!

>> But she...

>> Can hector do something?

Can you call someone?

>> I'’m not dealing with that parasite anymore, o.k.?

I took all my stuff out of the gym...

And out of the locker.

>> Oh.

>> "Oh," what?

What'’s that supposed to mean?

>> Well, I was counting on the money.

We have no more money.

What am I gonna do?

I'’m behind bills, I'’m falling behind the rent.

>> I know, I was...

I know, I'’m counting on it too, o.k.?

I mean, I'’ll figure something out, I will.

I promise you, I will.

Come on.

Don'’t be like that.

>> Don'’t... Come on me.

>> Justin: [beatboxing...] >> Girl: stop it.

Stop it.

>> [Beatboxing stops] >> go to basketball tryouts today?

>> No.

>> Why not?

>> Because I don'’t want to play basketball.

I want to play football.

>> O.k., Tell him he'’s gonna get hurt if he plays football.

Tell him he needs to play basketball.

>> You need to play basketball.

>> Well, that'’s just the enthusiasm he needs.

>> What do you want me to say?

>> I want you to encourage him.

>> I will, but he can'’t sh**t hoops.

>> Why not?

>> Remember?

'’Cause when he dribbles, he looks like a ret*rd, that'’s why.

>> I can dribble.

>> No, you can'’t.

>> Yes, I can.

>> No, you can'’t.

>> Yes, I can.

>> I'’ve seen you dribble.

You can'’tdribble.

Your sister dribbles better than you.

>> Can I box?

>> Can you box?

What are you gonna box, oranges?

>> No boxing.

Get it out of your head.

>> Why not?

>> Because I say so.

>> Don'’t look at me.

If you throw a punch the way you dribble, you'’re not even gonna see 13.

>> Can'’t be worse than you.

>> Hey, what'’d you say?

>> Nothing.

>> No, you said something.

Say it, I want to hear it.

>> I didn'’t say anything.

>> What you say?

>> I didn'’t say anything.

So?

>> What?

What now?

>> $229, O.k.

You know, if I sell the car, we could probably get, what, another $800.

Maybe $900, if we'’re lucky.

>> I'’ll start looking for a job tomorrow.

>> No, you can'’t look for a job.

Who'’s gonna take care of tina?

Come on, we can'’t afford it.

>> So where are we gonna go tonight?

>> I don'’t know, I don't know.

Why don'’t we just go to a hotel?

Let'’s go to a hotel, sleep the night, try to figure things out.

>> Hey, why don'’t we call your cousin benny?

>> No way.

We'’re not staying with benny.

There'’s no way I'm staying with him.

He'’s been sh*t, like, five times.

He'’s a g*dd*mn hoodlum.

[Bell dings] >> I can call luis.

>> What are you thinking?

>> I'’m... I'm not thinking.

Hey, I'’m sorry.

>> Look... I'’m fine.

I'’ll give you a minute.

>> Can I get some money, please?

What'’s the matter?

Hey, hey, hey, what'’s wrong?

What, what, what?

What'’s the matter?

>> [Crying] >> come on.

Look, look, this isn'’t easy on either one of us, all right, but we'’ve gotta be strong.

Gotta be strong, baby.

We'’ve gotta make a pact: no crying in front of the kids.

You got me?

>> I'’m just tired, so...

>> I know, I know.

I know, but the best thing for us right now is to stay together, you got it?

>> Yeah.

>> We'’re gonna make it.

I promise you, we'’re gonna make it. >> O.k.

>> All right?

>> Yeah. [Sniffles] >> I love you, now come on.

Let'’s pay the bill and go to sleep, all right?

>> I'’ll take care of it.

You just take the kids outside.

I need a moment, o.k.?

>> All right.

Come on.

Come on, hurry up.

Put all the candy away.

I got it.

[Indistinct chatter] [bell dings, dishes clatter]

>> Man 1: I'’m not done with you...

>> Man 2: why do I gotta go pick it up?

Why can'’t you?

>> Don'’t start.

>> But we...

>> I'’ve got enough things on my mind.

[Crashing and thudding] >> what the hell you doing?

>> I'’m sorry, man.

I'’m, I'm really sorry.

>> Clean it up.

Help him.

[Grunts] here you go.

Here you go.

Here you go.

>> Don'’t you usually give me $75?

>> What about those bricks you dropped?

You expect me to pay for that?

>> Oh, come on, man.

I broke 10 bricks.

How much are bricks, 50 cents each?

>> You want the 50 or not?

>> Come on, man.

All, all I'’m saying is that 10 bricks at 50 cents is how much?

I mean, do the math.

>> You know what?

I don'’t got time for this sh*t.

Take the $75.

Just don'’t ever expect me to hire you again.

It'’s your choice.

>> Keep it.

>> There'’s a smart man if I ever saw one.

>> Hey, you know if you got any work coming up in the next few days?

>> I don'’t know if you noticed all the lights and decorations all over the place, but it'’s christmas.

>> Thanks a lot.

[Car door shuts] [♪...]

>> Woman: ♪ christmastime is here ♪

♪ Happiness and cheer ♪ fun for all that children call their favorite time of year ♪

♪ Christmastime is here ♪ family drawing near...

>> Ahh!

>> You scared me, you idiot.

>> So what you doing?

>> Just trying to bring some christmas spirit to this place.

>> Oh, yeah, it'’s really working.

Look at that.

>> How was work?

>> Made 50 bucks.

>> You usually make 75.

>> Yeah, usually.

Look, I don'’t want to talk about that.

>> O.k.

[Music continues...] >> Where are the kids?

>> Justin'’s outside playing with some friends and christina'’s on the bed playing with some toys the salvation army dropped off.

[♪..., Indistinct chatter] >> hey, tina.

Who'’s your friend?

>> Smiddy.

>> Hi.

>> Get the hell outta here.

[♪...] [Lightswitch clicks]

[Brakes screech, truck beeping] angie.

Angie... I can'’t find my jacket.

>> What?

>> I think somebody stole my jacket.

Can you believe that?

Jesus.

[Sighs] ["hark! The herald angels sing" playing...] ...hey, excuse me, can I talk to you for a second?

Someone stole my jacket last night.

I, I need to file a report.

>> Actually, mr. Diaz, I was just about to come and find you.

Uh, follow me.

I need to talk to you.

>> Did you find it?

>> You'’re not gonna believe this.

You'’re not gonna believe it.

>> What?

What'’s wrong?

>> We gotta leave the shelter.

>> What?

>> Remember that list that I put us on for the apartments a couple months ago?

>> Yeah?

>> Yeah, well...

They called us.

>> You'’re kidding me.

>> Yeah, we'’re gonna be in our own apartment for christmas after all.

What do you think of that?

[Both laugh] o.k., I gotta see the apartment manager in about an hour.

>> Oh, my god.

>> Didn'’t I tell you?

Didn'’t I tell you?

Didn'’t I promise you?

>> You did, you did.

>> Promised you, right?

>> Is santa claus gonna come this year?

>> There is no santa claus.

Really, stupid, think about it.

How can santa claus go to everyone'’s house in the whole wide world in one night?

>> Don'’t listen to your brother.

He doesn'’t know his ass from his mouth, all right?

>> Sweetie, you know what?

Santa already came.

He brought us a beautiful apartment.

>> But I want my doll back.

>> Aww...

Well...

>> You know what papa'’s gonna do?

I'’m gonna call santa personally and make sure that he hooks you up with whatever it is you want.

Let me get a little giggle out of you.

Nothing?

>> [Quietly]: she'’s tired.

>> All right.

I... I gotta go, honey.

Come on.

>> [Normal voice]: o.k., Why don'’t you take the troublemaker with you and, um, I'’ll take tina to the clinic and pack everything up.

>> Ah, you get the easy way out, huh?

>> You know I can'’t stay here...

>> I get stuck with him, thank you.

>> Come on, justin.

>> Why can'’t I stay here?

>> '’Cause you're coming with me, that'’s why.

Come on, bundle up, champ.

Bundle up.

>> You can'’t go out like that.

>> Come on, baby, I'’m five blocks from the subway...

Then couple of blocks.

>> Just take that.

See you back here in a couple of hours?

>> With a key.

With the key to our new apartment.

>> [Sighs deeply] thank god.

[Horn honks] >> justin: oh, it'’s freezing.

>> Frank: come on, let'’s go.

>> Why can'’t I stay here?

>> '’Cause you can't, that'’s why.

It'’s not safe.

>> I can protect myself.

>> Oh, yeah?

You can protect yourself from a grown man?

>> Yeah, hell yeah.

Yeah, let someone try something.

>> Where the hell you get that?

>> Got it from a friend of mine.

>> Can I see it?

What the hell you doing with this, man?

What'’s wrong with you?

>> What?

>> Carry sh*t like that.

What'’s wrong with you, man?

>> I can protect myself.

>> Oh, you think you can protect yourself from a grown man?

>> Yeah.

>> You think you could?

>> Yeah.

[Grunts] >> all right, come on.

Protect yourself.

What you gonna do now?

What you gonna do now?

Come on, what you gonna do now?

Protect yourself.

If you could do it, man, if you can protect from me, you can stay here all day.

Come on.

>> [Grunts] >> uh-huh, just as I thought.

>> You assh*le.

>> Don'’t ever let me catch you with a Kn*fe again, you hear me?

>> Whatever.

[♪...] >> Man: ♪ here comes

Santa claus ♪ ♪ here comes santa claus

♪ Right down santa claus lane... ♪

>> Go under, go under.

>> What?

>> Go under.

Go, go!

[Turnstiles crank] [music continues...]

[Turnstiles crank] [music continues...]

>> Hi, merry christmas.

Uh, I'’m frank diaz.

I'’m here to see carita about an apartment.

Oh, jesus.

[Faucet runs, sirens wail faintly]

[Knocking on wall, cabinets slam]

Oh, look.

Hey, hey, look...

Yankee stadium, man.

We can watch the game from here.

>> Oh!

>> That'’s cool.

>> Carita: o.k., Uh, mr. Diaz, it'’s $201 a month.

>> Uh-huh.

>> And utilities included, first and last month'’s security.

There'’s three bedrooms down the hall.

This is it.

What do you think?

>> Well, it'’s not exactly where god left his shoes, but, but it'’ll do.

>> Uh, you can actually move in today.

>> That'’s great, that'’d be great.

>> If you'’re handy, you could... Mmm, fix it up, do something with it.

>> Yeah, I know.

It'’s, put a little muscle to it, maybe paint it, you know?

>> Yeah.

>> Change the floors a bit.

I could do something with that.

Absolutely.

>> Yeah...

Well, wonderful, wonderful.

Um, why don'’t we go back to my office and we can get the paperwork filled out.

>> Yeah. >> It'’s christmas eve, I know you'’d like to be in.

>> How about that, huh?

Yeah, I would love that.

You saw that, man? >> I know.

>> How great is that?

>> Awesome.

>> Here you go.

Fill this out.

>> What is this?

>> The application.

You need a, need a pen?

[Phone rings] sir, you need a, you need a pen?

>> Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> O.k.

>> Thank you, thank you.

>> [Sighs] [ringing continues]

You all right?

>> Yeah.

You know what, do you mind if i, if I filled it out right outside?

Be just a second.

>> All right.

>> Thank you.

Come with me.

[Music plays faintly, pages flipping]

Here, fill that out.

>> Why?

>> Just fill it out.

>> Why can'’t you do it?

>> Uh, because my wrist is k*lling me from the last fight, that'’s why.

It is.

My, my wrist is k*lling me.

What, just fill it out, all right?

And then, anything you don'’t understand, just ask me, all right?

[Music continues] here'’s your application.

And here'’s the $400.

Well, actually, it'’s, it'’s, it's, uh, $398.

But, uh, I'’ll get you the two bucks in about two days, all right?

>> [Laughs] o.k., That'’s fine.

You didn'’t fill out the employment section.

>> Right, because, uh, I'’m in between jobs right now.

I'’m, I'm a boxer.

>> One of the requirements in qualifying for an apartment here is that you have some form of income.

>> Yeah, no, I do, but I do.

I do, I just work off the books, that'’s all.

So it'’s, like construction and, you know, work hasn'’t been steady lately, so...

>> Unfortunately, I can'’t put down that you work off the books.

>> Right, right.

I'’m gonna have a few jobs lined up right after christmas.

>> That won'’t work.

Management is very strict and since you don'’t have a guaranteed form of income, I can'’t process your application.

I will have to put you back on the list.

>> [Laughs] what...

What are you talking about?

>> I can'’t give you the apartment unless you are presently employed, onthe books.

Your name will go back on the list, and when another apartment becomes available, I'’ll contact you.

>> My family, my family'’s in a shelter.

And I can'’t do that anymore.

We just can'’t do that anymore.

Do you understand me?

>> I'’m sorry, I'm sorry, sir.

I don'’t know what else to tell you.

>> You can tell me that the apartment is ours, and we can move in there today.

>> I can'’t do that.

>> C'’mon, it's christmas.

It'’s christmas, give me a break.

Can you cut me a break, please?

I mean, I'’ll promise you, I'’ll have a job by the first of the year.

I can guarantee it.

>> I'’m sorry.

There'’s nothing I can do.

I have a family too, and if I put you down for the apartment and get caught, I can lose my job.

>> Justin, wait for me outside.

>> [Quietly] give her hell.

>> Yeah.

Let me explain something to you, let me explain my situation to you, maybe.

Maybe you'’ll understand.

Me and my family, we been having some hard months and all we want is to have an apartment for christmas, that'’s all.

That'’s all we want, and look, I understand your position.

I know what you'’re in, but imagine having children and sleeping in a dirty shelter on a cold floor for three months, can you imagine that?

>> I understand, I understand-- >> no, but are you imagining that for me?

>> Yes, I understand your position.

Many of the tenants who live here were in your shoes at one time or another, but like I said, there'’s nothing I can do.

>> Right.

[♪...] [Clears throat]

Nothing you can do.

You know, let me ask you something.

How many of those tenants that were in my shoes went into the gulf w*r and fought for this country?

How many of them, huh?

>> Excuse me?

>> It'’s a simple question: how many of them went and fought?

I went and joined up and fought for this country when I was

18 Years old, o.k.?

And you'’re telling me that it's o.k. For me to risk my life, risk my life for you and your family, but you don'’t have to put anything on the line for me and my family.

That'’s what you're telling me, right?

>> It'’s not like that.

>> Oh, yeah... Yeah.

It islike that.

It'’s justlike that.

>> Wait, wait, uh...

Come back, please.

Do you get a check from the government each month?

>> I don'’t get anything.

I don'’t get a dime, I don'’t get nothin'.

>> Look, I leave the office at 6:00 tonight.

If you can find a job by then, the apartment'’s yours.

That'’s the best I can do.

Otherwise, and I'’m sorry...

But I'’ll have to call the next person on the list.

[♪...] >> Thank you...

And what you'’re doing.

>> O.k.

>> Thank you so much.

[♪...] [Distant siren wails...]

>> So what happened in there?

[♪...] So we didn'’t get it?

>> No, we didn'’t get it, einstein, not yet, anyway.

>> Where we going now?

>> To get a job.

>> Why?

>> Why? Because you need a job to get an apartment, that'’s why.

>> Why didn'’t you tell her you already have a job, make something up?

>> And what happens when she finds out that I lied, huh?

>> We'’ll already have the keys.

>> Right, and we get thrown out of another apartment-- that'’d be just great.

>> No, no-- why can'’t you just-- no, you could-- actually, you could just tell her-- >> hey guy, let'’s just-- you're not making any sense, right?

Could you just shut up for a little while, please?

>> Don'’t tell me to shut up.

You shut up.

I'’m just trying to help.

>> Hey, you know how you can help? >> How?

>> By shuttin'’ up.

[Subway door signal chimes] >> man on p.a.: Stand clear of the closing doors.

[Justin sighs] >> [quietly]: oh, man.

[Train rumbles...] >> I'’m hungry.

>> Yeah, well, you shoulda ate at the shelter.

>> Can we get something to eat when we get off the train?

>> No, no, no, all the money I got is for the apartment.

>> Shoulda went with mom.

>> Yeah, you shoulda.

[♪...] [Children shouting, playing]

[Doorbell chimes] >> who lives here?

>> Just mind your business and don'’t embarrass me, all right?

How you doin'’?

>> What are you doin'’ here?

I told you I got no work today.

>> I know, I know, and I'’m sorry to bother you and all that, but I need to talk to your father for just one minute.

>> About what?

>> It'’s about-- hello, mr. Montecello, how are you?

>> Hello, how you doin'’?

>> Look, I'’m sorry to bother you, I know it'’s christmas eve and whatnot, but I got something very important that I need to talk to you about, if you got a minute, please.

>> We'’re a little busy right now.

>> Frank: yeah, I realize this, but this is really important.

>> Come on, it'’s cold.

Let him in, come on.

>> Frank: thank you, thank you.

>> You'’re just gonna leave me out here?

>> Frank: go over there and play with the kids.

Play ball, make friends.

>> Why can'’t i-- it's freezing though, I'’m cold.

[Front door closes] >> so what'’s this about that you gotta come bother us today?

>> Yeah, well, this isn'’t easy to say, but me and my family, we'’re living in a shelter.

>> What are you, homeless?

>> Just about.

>> You hungry or something?

Dad, give him a few meatballs and...

>> That'’s o.k., I didn'’t come here for food.

I didn'’t come here for handouts.

>> Come on, have a bite.

Have a bite.

>> I'’m fine, sir, thank you very much, but I'’m fine, I'm o.k.

>> Come on, my wife made 200 of them, have a bite.

>> You know, it'’s an insult to turn down an italian woman'’s cooking.

>> Mr. Montecello: come on.

>> Well, I don'’t want to be insulting anybody, right?

>> Come on, it'’s good.

Be good for you, have a bite.

>> Wow. >> Man: the best.

>> That'’s great stuff.

>> You want more?

>> No, no, no, I'’m great, it hit the spot, thank you very much.

Look, I know you guys are very busy and I don'’t want to take up your time, but the reason I'’m here is... I'm a boxer.

And I was up for this big fight and I got taken off the card...

>> I knew I recognized you.

Yeah, you'’re the guy that got his ass kicked by caesar rodriguez back at the garden, like two months ago, right?

>> I lost the fight, yeah.

>> You threw in the towel.

I saw it on espn.

You would have had a sh*t if you didn'’t quit.

Hit him with a couple good punches, I mean, you still would have got your head b*at in, but you would have had a sh*t, at least.

>> As I was sayin'’... Um...

>> How can we help you?

>> Well, that'’s why I'm here, sir, in order for me to qualify for this apartment, we need somebody to tell the people who are running the building that, um, that I work for you guys on the books.

>> But you don'’t work for us on the books.

>> Well, I know, I know...

>> You want us to lie?

>> No, I'’m not asking you to lie.

I'’m not asking you that, I'’m just... Need proof of employment, so I can get me and my family out of the shelter and all I need is a w-2 form or a paystub, anything like that.

>> We can'’t do that... No way.

>> My family will be very appreciative.

I'’ll work it off, I'll work weekends, I'’ll come here whenever you guys need it, whatever holidays, I don'’t care.

>> No can do.

>> Come on, vinny, it'’s christmas time.

The guy'’s down on his luck.

Let'’s give him a break.

Maybe we could do something with this.

>> Dad, we can'’t do it.

We'’re not hiring anyone on the books and we for sh*t sure ain'’t lying to the government.

Forget it.

We'’ll lose our license, then what happens to us when we lose our license, huh?

For this?

>> Look, I'’m sorry, my son runs the business.

If there was something that we could do, believe me, frank, we'’d do it.

>> Thank you, sir, thank you.

Merry christmas.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your time.

>> [Sighs] >> thanks for leaving me

Out in the cold.

>> You'’re welcome.

>> I wasn'’t really thanking you.

Now where are we going now?

>> In the city.

>> Can we get something to eat?

>> Yeah, we will, in a little while, o.k.?

>> What'’s that red stuff on your mouth?

>> What red stuff?

What are you talking about?

>> The red stuff on the side of your mouth.

Did you eat something while you were in there?

>> Come on, man, I bet you didn'’t know that it's an insult to turn down italian cooking, did you know that?

>> You suck, you know that?

You really suck.

Can'’t believe-- I can't believe you ate something in there.

[Officer slams door] [song ends]

[Panting] >> all right, let me see,

Let me see.

[Justin grunts] >> o.k., O.k. All right.

>> Oh, man.

>> Can you bend it back?

Can you?

All right, so you didn'’t break it, you just sprained it.

Look, I'’m gonna have to tie this up really tight, all right?

To cut off the swelling.

>> No, leave it, leave it.

>> I got to, I got to, man.

>> [Justin groans] >> all right, see?

Hey, what happened to your hand?

>> Oh, when I fell, I cut myself.

>> Oh, jesus christ.

Let me see it.

Look, we'’ll clean it up when we get into the city, all right?

[Sighs] [♪...]

[Car alarm deactivates] [♪...]

All right, stick your hand out.

Stick your hand out, come on.

It'’s gonna sting a little bit, all right?

[Justin gasps in pain, groans] let me see.

[Tears open package] [truck honks, siren whoops]

Where'’d you get that?

>> I took it.

Oh, sh*t.

>> What'’s the matter?

>> I can'’t eat it now.

It has peanuts in it.

>> So? What'’s the big deal, man?

>> I'’m allergic to peanuts.

Remember?

>> Allergic to peanuts?

I thought you was allergic to, uh, raisins.

>> No, peanuts.

>> Well, that'’s what you get for stealing, man.

Hey, look, I just wanna say I'’m sorry, all right?

It'’s just that...

Never mind, I'’m sorry, man, I'’m sorry.

Can you walk?

>> Yeah, I think so.

>> All right, if it hurts, you let me know and we'’ll just take a break, all right?

Come on, let'’s go.

["Jingle bells" plays in store] excuse me, ma'’am, do you know where the human resources department is?

>> It'’s on the third floor.

>> Third floor?

>> Up the escalators.

>> O.k., Thank you, thank you, merry--

[Knocking on door] [whispering] hey, over there, go, go sit down and rest your ankle, go.

[Door opens] [telephone rings]

>> Can I help you?

>> Yes, how you doin'’?

My name is frank diaz, I'’m here for the security guard position.

I was wondering, who should I speak to?

>> Sorry, they'’re all filled.

>> Oh, wow, really?

Well, are there any other positions available?

>> You don'’t look like a perfume tester.

>> Frank, chuckling: well, I can be very versatile.

>> Look, we really don'’t have anything right now.

Try back after the new year.

>> You know, what, what do you have to do to be a perfume tester?

I mean, what do you gotta do?

Hold the perfume bottle and say, "try this fragrance, chez monet"-- I could do that.

>> Sir, move your foot out the door before I call security.

>> Sorry.

[Door closes] ["joy to the world" plays...]

>> Come on, find something, man.

>> I'’m looking, I'm looking-- relax!

>> What about this?

What about that?

>> No, not that.

What about that, a beautician in the bronx?

>> Oh, a beautician-- ha-ha, that'’s hilarious, man, you'’re really funny, ha-ha-ha.

>> What-- how hard does it have to be to cut someone'’s hair?

>> You gotta go to a special school for that, man.

You can'’t just cut people's hair, give them a perm or get a weave without learning.

>> You don'’t have to go to school for that.

>> Yeah, you do, you gotta go to a special school for everything, man.

>> No, not if you wanna be president.

All you have to be is 35 and be a u.s. Citizen.

>> Look, just find me a job, o.k.?

Just find me a job, '’cause I'm not gonna be president of the united states and I'’m for sh*t sure not gonna be a beautician in the bronx.

>> What about painting?

>> I can do paint-- where?

>> Right here: 230th... East first street.

>> Good work, man, good work.

Rip it out, rip it out.

[Crowds chattering, music plays] hey, hey...

Hey, jus'’.

Check it out.

>> What?

>> Little girly over there, huh?

>> Where?

>> Right there.

Oh, look at her, she'’s looking at you, man.

She'’s eyeballing you.

>> No, she'’s not.

>> Look at her, she is, smile.

Come on, do something, man.

>> No.

>> She'’s smiling at you.

>> No.

>> Oh, look at that.

You'’re in like flynn, buddy boy.

Don'’t waste it, it's a great opportunity, do something.

Look, look, look, do something.

Wave at her. >> No!

>> Ah, she loved it, she loved it, look at her.

Helping you out, man.

>> Stupid, you'’re helping me out?

>> Don'’t call me stupid, man.

Come on, let'’s go, let'’s get out of here.

...you'’re not gay, are you?

>> No!

>> You ever get to first base?

>> Second.

>> You'’re lying, man.

You never got to second base.

>> Did too.

Kissed a girl.

>> Oh, yeah?

Who'’s the unlucky lady?

>> I ain'’t telling you.

>> Better not be that girl with the wooden leg you'’re always hanging out with in the shelter.

Little perv, taking advantage of the handicapped, man.

You guys even touch tongues?

>> None of your business.

>> Hey, dude, when you start hitting triples and home runs, you'’re gonna have to bag it, a'’ight?

'’Cause you can't go raw dog these days.

>> "Bag it"?

What, what-- >> aw, man, you never got to second base, forget it.

>> Yeah, I know, I know, but what does "bag it" mean?

[Conversations on the street, siren wails in the distance]

What'’s wrong?

>> Nothing, man, come on, let'’s go.

...how'’s your ankle?

>> Hurts even more.

>> Well, just put the weight on the other leg.

Don'’t step on it.

>> Can I help you?

>> Yeah, I'’m here to apply for the painting job.

>> Come in.

>> Thanks.

>> You ever work in a school?

>> Uh, no, can'’t say that I have.

>> Bunch of bratty kids with no respect.

>> Yeah, won'’t bother me, I got two of my own.

>> Know how to paint?

>> Ah, yeah, of course.

I painted my own car once even.

And, uh, it didn'’t come out all right, but hey, saved a lot of money.

>> Good.

Principal danner wants every classroom painted over the holiday break.

Step into my office.

>> Yeah.

Hey, hey, do me a favor, go sit by the radiator and stay warm, o.k.?

>> Smoke?

>> Yeah, yeah, sometimes.

Thank you.

Sucks that they got you workin'’ on christmas, huh?

>> [Scoffs] tell me about it.

All right, let'’s get this sucker filled out.

Name?

>> Frank diaz.

>> Address?

>> 1873 Hunt'’s point avenue, bronx, 11457.

>> Social?

>> 987-65-4320.

This is on the books, right?

>> Yeah, of course, it'’s on the books.

It'’s a city job. [Scoffs] >> good, good, good.

>> Where was your previous place of employment?

>> I was working construction, but it was off the books.

>> Yeah, before that.

>> Oh, before that?

I'’m a professional boxer.

>> No kidding?

>> Yeah, yeah.

Why, you a big fight fan?

>> No, no, no, bowling is my sport.

>> Bowling'’s cool, bowling'’s cool.

>> What else...

Uh, ever been convicted of a felony?

>> No.

>> Any medical condition I should know about?

>> Not that iknow of.

[Chuckles weakly] >> any problem starting today?

I mean, it would just be until 3:00.

I mean, I gotta get a jump-start on those classrooms.

>> No, no-- yeah!

I can start today, man, whatever you need!

That'’s what I'm here for.

>> You seem all right in my book.

Besides, I needed somebody yesterday, um...

Job pays $12.50 an hour.

>> $12.50.

>> Yeah, is that a problem?

>> No, that'’s great.

$12.50'’s great.

>> Well, mr. Diaz.

>> Hey, hey, why don'’t you call me frank?

Just call me frank.

It'’s what everybody calls me.

>> Frank? >> Yeah.

>> Well, frank, unless you changed your mind before you walked in that door, you got yourself a job.

>> I do?

[Laughs] merry christmas!

>> Don'’t be so happy.

It sucks, working here.

>> The doctor will be right in.

>> O.k.

One, two... Good girl.

Relax, you'’re gonna get better.

>> Hi, I'’m dr. Desai.

>> Hi. >> Hi.

>> So what'’s wrong with this little cutie?

>> Oh, she'’s been sick for three days, and this morning she woke up with a fever.

>> Oh, flu'’s going around.

[Angela coughs] sounds like you'’re coming down with it, too.

>> Everybody in our shelter is sick.

>> Which shelter is it?

>> Most precious host.

>> It'’ll be a little cold, o.k.?

You know, there are better shelters in the city.

There'’s safe haven downtown.

>> That'’s for women who'’ve been abused.

What are you trying to say?

>> I just see a lot of women come here in need of help and they don'’t like to talk about it.

>> Well, I don'’t need help.

My husband'’s never laid a hand on me.

We came all the way down here to take care of my daughter.

Can we just do that?

>> O.k., Um...

Can you stick out your tongue for me, please?

Wide... Ah, say "ah"...

>> Ahh...

>> Oh... O.k., Thanks.

>> Listen, I'’ve been down that road in the past and I was smart enough to get out.

I know that there are better shelters out there, but that would mean leaving my husband.

>> O.k., I was just giving you options in case you need them, but sounds like you don'’t.

> He'’s actually out there getting the keys to our new apartment.

Our last day at the shelter.

>> Congratulations.

All right, well, she'’s got a lot of inflammation in her throat, so I'’m gonna put her on an antibiotic.

I'’ll just get the medicine and I'’ll get you something for your cough too, o.k.?

>> Thank you.

>> $12.50 an hour, man.

You know what that means?

>> You can finally get me something to eat?

>> Oh, yeah, I'’m gonna get you something to eat on the way home, but it means yankee stadium, baby, you and me, opening day!

Sound like a plan, huh?

>> Yeah.

>> I'’m gonna get those seats right on the second tier over first base where all the foul balls go... Oh.

>> Can we get hot dogs?

>> Oh, yeah, we'’re gonna get hot dogs.

Hot dogs, peanuts, cotton candy-- oh, no peanuts, man.

I forgot, you'’re allergic.

>> We have to have ice cream.

>> Oh, yeah, ice cream.

>> A lot of ice cream.

>> Oh, yeah, tons of ice cream, son, tons of ice cream.

Cotton candy, zeppoles... I'’m gonna give you so much candy, it'’s gonna rot your teeth.

But, hey, don'’t think about food right now, man, don'’t think about food '’cause it'll make you hungry, all right?

We got two hours left, a'’ight?

Oh, we did it.

Can you believe that we did it?

We did it, little man.

Come on, give me five.

Give me five-- uptown!

Midtown!

Downtown-- oh, man, why'’d you slap the brush for?

>> Come on, that'’s not funny.

>> You see me laughing?

I'’m not laughing.

>> O.k.

We'’ll go crosstown. [Splat] >> that ain'’t right, man.

That ain'’t right.

You think that'’s right?

I got your hand, you got my threads, man, that'’s a whole other different story.

[Knocking on door] >> frank, got a minute?

>> Yeah, yeah, whassup?

I mean, I was just about to start painting the wall right now.

>> Look, I need to talk to you.

>> Yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, sure.

Keep stirring it, get, get to work, man.

Help us out, all right?

What'’s going on?

>> I ran your social through the district computer.

Felony charges came under your profile.

Do you know anything about that?

>> Felony charge?

>> Said you spent two years in jail.

>> Yeah, well, i...

Somethin'’ did go down.

It did go down, I mean, I was a young kid, man, a stupid kid, 21 years old, you know how that is, right?

I mean, I was hanging out with the wrong crew and then one night I'’m with them and they go into this bodega, but I stayed outside and they took some sh*t.

I didn'’t even know they were gonna do it.

>> So they held up the place?

>> Well, I don'’t know.

I don'’t know, like I said, I stayed outside, so I have no clue.

But it was a big mess, you know, it was a big mess and I was guilty by association and even the store clerk said that I wasn'’t a part of it, o.k.?

But I couldn'’t afford a good lawyer, you know how that goes, man.

>> Frank, this is a problem.

>> Mr. Morris, I'’m not that guy.

O.k., I'’m not that guy.

That was a long time ago, that was a mistake, you know, I got a wife and two kids, man, that was a wrong time, wrong place, wrong friends, you know what I'’m saying?

>> Frank.

>> It happens to everybody, you know, I mean...

>> Frank...

Look, I need these classrooms painted as much as you need this job, but the board of education has a policy: no felons near the kids.

Now, I'’m sorry, but there is no way around that.

[♪...] >> Right.

Justin, come here.

[♪...] [Door releases]

[Door slams shut] [♪...]

[Door slams shut] [♪...]

>> Hey, buddy, can I talk to you a second?

I'’m looking for a guy.

Frank diaz, a latino guy, he'’s a boxer?

He'’s about maybe your size.

I used to pick him up here for work, I think I picked him up with you one time.

>> Sorry, I don'’t know him, man.

>> Whoa, whoa, whoa.

It'’s a good thing, it's a good thing... I'’m trying to do the guy a favor.

I can'’t find him, I'm looking all over the place.

Can you help me out?

>> Sorry, guy, I can'’t help you.

[♪...] [Rain patters...]

>> Frank: oh, man.

>> Justin: aww...

>> Come on, stay over here till it clears up a little bit.

>> You never told me you went to jail.

>> Yeah, you never told me you sucked face with peg leg patty.

The things you find out along the way, huh?

What the hell you doin'’ listening to my business anyhow?

>> I couldn'’t, I could just hear you.

>> Yeah, sure.

>> Does mom know?

>> Yeah, your mom knows.

>> Did you sh**t anybody?

>> No, I didn'’t sh**t anybody.

See, that'’s why your mother wants you to take up a sport, man, so you'’ll stop hanging out on the street or you'’ll end up in trouble like I did.

You know, as a matter of fact, you'’re signing up for basketball next week.

>> My ankle could be broken.

>> It'’s gonna be better by then.

Now, come on, we haven'’t got much time, let'’s go.

>> It'’s pouring!

>> Put your hood up.

[Traffic passing...] >> Here, find... Find me a job, right here.

>> You'’re not gonna find anything today.

It'’s christmas eve.

>> You want a warm apartment?

You want something to eat?

Find me something.

>> You buy the paper or you put it down.

>> Abdul, relax, it'’s just a quarter, all right?

>> I'’m running a business here.

You look, you buy.

>> Oh, is that so?

>> Yes, that'’s so.

>> Oh, I found something.

>> What you find?

>> Look: "stockroom employees needed for holiday."

>> Where at? >> Right here.

Oh, it'’s hou... Houston street.

>> [Ripping page] here... I'’m putting it down.

You happy?

There you go. You happy?

Let'’s go, come on.

>> Wait, whoa, whoa, you can'’t go like that. >> Why not?

>> Because you'’re wet, you have paint on you...

>> Yeah, so what am I supposed to do?

>> Get new clothes, that'’s what you'’re supposed to do.

>> Oh, right, right, right.

You want to go to armani'’s maybe, on a little shopping spree? Barney'’s maybe?

>> You don'’t have to spend money. >> No? >> No.

>> Oh, oh, because people are giving away clothes for free nowadays. >> Just do what mom does. >> Yeah? What does she do?

>> I'’ll tell you when we get there.

[Christmas music playing in store...]

[Store music continues...] [Register clicking...]

[Store music continues...] [Register clicking...]

>> You sure your mother does this?

>> Yeah.

>> And she gets on me for cursing.

Hey, help me pick out a shirt for these pants.

>> How about this one?

>> [Scoffs] what, you mean like a pimp?

Come on, man.

This is more like it.

This is good.

All right, just stay here.

I'’ll be right back, all right?

[♪...] [♪...]

>> Justin: get your hands off!

>> Man: hey... >> Take it off!

>> Man: hey, relax.

>> Frank: hey, what'’s going on?

>> This your kid?

>> Yes, he'’s my stepson. Why?

>> Just caught him shoplifting.

>> Shoplifting? What are you talking about, man?

>> Guard 2: hey, you, empty your pockets.

>> Kid, empty your pockets or we'’re gonna do it for you.

>> Hey, hey, kemosabe, just relax, all right? Just relax.

This is a kid, man, please.

Empty your pockets, man.

>> What the hell are you doing, man?

What the hell are you doing?

I'’m sorry, man.

I don'’t know what the hell got into him.

>> Guard 2: listen, we'’re gonna have to take him in the back.

We'’ve gotta write this up.

>> O.k., Come on, man, we all make stupid mistakes, right?

Come on, look, you got it back, right? So there'’s no, no harm, no foul-- it'’s all good, right?

>> We'’re gonna have to take him in the back and write him up.

>> Come on, man, he'’s...

Look, look at him-- he'’s a nine-year-old kid, man.

We all make mistakes, right?

It'’s christmas, come on, man.

Want me to pay for it?

I'’ll pay for it, man.

>> Sir, it is store policy, all right?

>> I, I know, I know it'’s store policy, man, but it'’s not your store, right?

I mean, so come on, I'’ll pay for it.

I'’ll give you the money.

>> Sir, what do you have on underneath that sweater?

>> Oh, oh, man, you know, you know what happened?

Man, I forgot to take it off...

>> Uh, we'’re gonna need some more assistance down here in the men'’s section.

>> Man, i, I was in the dressing room, man, when I heard the screaming.

I didn'’t get a chance to...

>> Go, go, go, go.

Meet you at the newsstand.

Go, go, go.

>> Whoa, whoa, where'’s he going?

>> Come on, man.

Let'’s just try to work this out, all right? Man to man.

Let'’s try the two of us, all right? '’Cause what?

I... Look, I'’ll give you the clothes, I'’ll pay you back, whatever you want.

Come on, man, we can work this out.

>> That'’s not the point.

>> So... What is your point?

>> The point is you have on a sweater underneath your sweater... >> I told you...

>> That doesn'’t belong to you.

>> I told you.

I told you why, man.

I told you: because I was in the dressing room putting it on, and I heard the commotion with my son... >> Sir, relax...

>> I came out to protect my son.

>> Relax... >> I am relaxed, man. >> Sir... You don'’t seem relaxed, though. >> I'’m, I'm totally relaxed, man.

I'’m just trying to work this out... >> Your tone of voice does not seem relaxed.

>> I'’m trying to work this out with you, all right?

I said I'’ll pay you. >> Sir...

>> I want you to back off right now. >> You are not going anywhere. >> I'’m going...

>> You are coming with me.

[Horns blaring, traffic passing...]

>> What the hell is the matter with you, huh?

What the hell'’s wrong with you?

What are you, stupid?

What, are you stealing jewelry for your girlfriend?

Is that what you'’re doing?

>> No, it was for mom.

>> It'’s for your mom?

For your mom?

All right, just forget it, all right? Forget it.

>> At least I got the new clothes, right? >> Yeah.

>> Now, come on. Let'’s, let'’s go look for a job.

Come on.

>> What'’s the matter?

Tell me. What?

>> Oh, man.

I left my money inside the pants in the dressing room.

[Horns blaring, traffic passing...]

>> What are we gonna do now?

>> I don'’t know. I don't know.

If I go back in there, I'’m gonna get arrested.

Jesus christ.

This is great, man.

This is great.

Hey, excuse me, do you have the time?

>> 2:15.

>> 2:15, Great.

Now I gotta get the deposit and a job.

That'’s just great.

All right, come on, man.

Let'’s go, let's go.

>> No. No. I can'’t walk.

>> What do you mean?

>> I can'’t walk no more.

My stomach hurts.

>> Oh, come on, your stomach doesn'’t have to do with your legs.

Come on, let'’s go.

>> No. I'’m not going anywhere until I get something to eat.

>> All right, we'’ll get you something to eat at the shelter. Come on.

>> No, no, no, no. >> Come on.

Don'’t be a p*ssy, man.

>> I'’m not a p*ssy.

I'’m not a p*ssy.

>> Hey, don'’t do this to me now.

Come on, man.

>> No, no. I'’m not... No.

I'’m not going anywhere until I get something to eat.

I'’ve been walking miles and miles and miles, and my stomach is growling.

I'’m... And my stomach is empty.

I feel like I'’m gonna pass out.

>> Justin, come on, man, I swear to god...

I want you to just get up right now. >> No.

>> Justin, get up right now.

Right now, you hear me?

>> No. I'’m done. I'm done. I don'’t care what you say anymore.

Anymore. I'’m hungry and I want something to eat.

>> All right, all right, I'’ll get you something to eat, all right?

Are you happy? Come on.

>> Finally.

[Bags rustling...] >> I'’m not eating sh*t from there.

Are you listening?

>> Yeah, yeah, I'’m listening to you.

>> Why can'’t we go to a restaurant?

>> This is a restaurant.

It'’s the back of a restaurant, man.

>> At least try to find something that'’s wrapped.

>> Yeah, I'’m looking, I'm looking, man, I'’m looking.

Oh, bingo. Look.

Look what I got.

Look what I got.

Look at this, look at this-- a perfectly good little jelly donut.

Here you go.

>> It'’s frickin' hard as a rock.

>> Yeah, it'’s just frozen, that'’s all.

>> This is disgusting.

>> You know, maybe if I hadn'’t listened to you and stolen the clothes that we could have bought somethin'’ edible, huh?

>> I'’ve been asking to get something to eat for the last five hours.

>> You know, I knew I should have left you at the shelter, man, I knew it.

>> Yeah, you should.

Leave me right here.

I'’ll get back to the shelter myself.


>> Trust me, I'’d like to leave you, man.

>> This isn'’t my fault.

>> Oh, no? Whose fault is it, man?

Who got paint on my pants, huh?

And I had to get new clothes?

Was that my fault? Huh?

Was that my fault?

>> It'’s your fault we live in a shelter.

>> What? What did you say, man?

You know, you do this all the time.

I'’m not gonna let you get away with it.

What'’d you say?

>> I said it'’s not my fault.

>> No, that'’s not what you said.

You said, "it'’s your fault we live in a shelter."

I heard you.

Think I'’m a loser, don't you?

You know how many families are struggling in this country trying to make it, man?

A lot, o.k.?

Wait till you got kids, boy.

You'’re gonna see how g*dd*mn hard that is.

>> I'’m not gonna have kids unless I can afford to take care of them.

>> Oh, you got an answer for everything, don'’t you, son?

>> Yeah, I have more answers than you do.

>> You think I needed you in my life, man?

You think, you think I needed the extra responsibility?

>> You think I needed you?

>> Yeah, you did. You did.

Or you... Or, or, or would you rather be with your real pops, huh?

You think you'’re better off with him?

Why don'’t you go back, man, so he could b*at you up for no reason every f*ckin'’ day, huh?

>> Shut up. Just shut up.

>> What, now you don'’t have an answer, big man? Huh?

You had a big mouth, but when somebody fights back you have nothing to say?

Is that what happened?

>> I'’m a bigger man than you.

>> That so?

>> Yeah, it is so.

I can make more money begging in an hour than you can in a whole day.

>> Whoa, you'’re a big man. Ooh.

>> I can read.

And I can walk all over the city for five hours with a broken ankle, and you can'’t even get out of the corner for three minutes and at least lose a fight like a real man.

>> Gimme that.

You don'’t want the donut?

You don'’t want it?

Remember that?

>> Yeah.

>> I'’m gonna tell you...

I'’m gonna tell you the most important thing that I'’m ever gonna tell you in your life.

>> Why? Because I don'’t wanna waste my breath, man.

I want to make sure that you heard me.

>> There'’s nothing to fear.

>> That'’s right, 'cause fear is the worst w*apon in the world, man.

The most powerful w*apon.

People are gonna try to scare you into doing a lot of things in life that you don'’t want to do, trust me.

I mean, look where it got me, right?

Look where I am today.

Anyway, just know people are gonna manipulate you, all right?

And that'’s how they're gonna do it... You got me?

>> Yeah.

>> Good. Good.

So how much you got?

>> 140.

>> Wow.

>> How much you get?

>> It'’s...

None of your business.

>> Do we have enough?

>> Yeah, yeah, we got enough.

We got enough.

As long as I get a job, we'’ll be fine.

All right, man, come on, let'’s go.

[♪...] [♪...]

Excuse me.

I'’m sorry I'm late-- traffic.

[Street noise...] >> What about the beautician

Job in the bronx?

>> It'’s 5:30, man.

By the time we go back uptown and come back, we'’ll never make it.

>> Maybe we could try a few restaurants over by the building.

>> Nah, it'’s over.

>> It'’s not over.

Why do you always do that?

You'’re always giving up.

>> Hey, there'’s no shame to losin'’.

And I did my best, o.k.?

Come on, man.

I want to make one more stop before we go to the shelter, all right?

Come on.

[Excited voices...] >> Hey... Is this, is this what

Christina was looking for?

>> You'’re buying hera present?

>> Yeah, I'’m buying her a present, why?

>> What about me?

>> What about you?

>> I walked all over the city, sprained my ankle and starved for 10 hours, and she gets a present?

>> Look, all I want to know is, is this... Is this what she wanted or not?

>> Yeah, yeah.

>> All right, hey, thank you. Thank you.

Now, now go get something for yourself and make sure it'’s under 20 bucks, all right?

>> Forget it. Forget it.

>> No, go get something.

>> I'’m fine.

>> No, you'’re not.

I mean, why would you have brought it up if you didn'’t want something?

Come on, go get it.

>> I don'’t want anything.

>> Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do.

Come on, you give me sh*t and you make me feel bad for not getting you something and not thinking about you.

Now go get something.

Go, go.

>> Did you mean what you said?

>> Said about what?

>> About you not needing me around anymore?

>> Come on, come on.

Of course not, man.

We were just arguing, that'’s all.

What are you doing?

Hey, hey, hey.

What are you doing?

What are you doing, man?

What'’s the matter? Is your...

Is something wrong, man?

Is your ankle hurting? What?

>> Do you love me?

>> Do I what?

>> You always tell christina and mom, but you never tell me.

>> That'’s because you're a man.

You'’re a man. Come on.

You'’re a little man, but you'’re still a man. Come on.

You know I do, right?

So we'’re men, man, and men don'’t do that.

Imagine me dropping you off at school every day in front of your friends saying, "justin, I love you.

I love you, justin."

You would have kicked my ass, right?

>> Yeah. [Sniffles] >> you know, when we start...

When we play-fight like this or I pound you on the head...

Right? When I pound you and give you noogies, that'’s...

That'’s me telling you in code, all right?

I thought you knew that.

>> No.

>> All right, now you know, stupid.

>> Mm-hmm.

[Grunts] >> what was that?

What was that?

What was that?

Come on.

Throw a punch like the way I taught you.

That'’s it, that's it.

That'’s how I used to hit when I was your age, man.

Like that... Go ahead.

That'’s right.

That'’s getting good, man.

I'’m gonna take you to the gym, but don'’t tell your mother, all right?

All right.

No, that'’s it, that's it.

That'’s it... Hey.

What are you doing?

Hey, cut it out.

What are you doing, man?

Hey! Come on, stop it.

Stop, man.

What the hell'’s the matter with you?

People are watching.

Hey, stop.

Calm down, I'’ll let you go.

Calm down, I'’ll let you go.

All right.

Her fever broke.

I gotta get a job on the books to qualify is what I gotta do.

I'’m sorry, I got a little out of hand out there, but he stole my jacket, all right?

>> I thought you were placed in an apartment this morning.

>> Yeah, so did we, but obviously we didn'’t qualify.

>> Well, I'’m sorry to hear that.

>> So what'’s going on, is he pressing charges or what?

>> No, but unfortunately I have to ask you to leave the shelter.

>> Come on, he took my jacket, and you'’re throwing us out?

>> Excuse me, excuse me, that man stole my husband'’s jacket.

>> Angie, I got it, angie.

>> No, no, she'’s not understanding clearly.

He stole our jacket.

>> Ma'’am, angie, please, o.k.?

Look, i, I had to fight him because he took my jacket, all right? >> O.k.?

>> I'’m aware of what happened, and I will deal with him accordingly but you'’ve gotta go.

>> What... You'’re gonna throw me out?

You'’re gonna throw... Me and my kids, you'’re gonna throw us out in the cold right now?

What kind of shelter is this?

>> No... No.

You can stay and keep one bed.

>> One bed?

What do I do with one bed, ma'’am?

I got two kids here.

Can you count?

One, two kids!

What do I do with that?

>> [Quietly]: angela.

>> Don'’t...

Don'’t tell me to calm down after what you did out there.

Don'’t you tell me to calm down!

>> Angie, come on.

>> What are you gonna do?

He steals my husband'’s jacket and we get kicked out?

How is this fair?

You tell me how this is fair!

>> I'’m sorry, but this is our policy.

>> You'’re sorry?

You know what?

You leave me no choice.

You leave me no choice.

>> Come on, can'’t you just reconsider, please?

Can you think about it?

>> I'’m sorry, I can't.

>> Oh, yeah? We can go...

>> He'’s gonna pick us up and he'’s gonna let us stay with him.

>> We can just go to another shelter...

>> No, we can'’t.

The kids can'’t go on living like this.

>> Man, you'’re always, always on me, always on me about showing them the right way.

"Show them the right way," and then you do this?

What kind of example you think you'’re setting them, huh?

>> You know what?

I'’ve done the right thing all my life-- I am done.

I'’m trying to fix this right now, please.

Please.

Ready, guys?

Let'’s just not make it harder, o.k.?

>> Yeah... Sure.

Hey, man, it'’s all good.

>> No, man, it'’s not all good, especially what you did to her.

>> Frank, for christ'’s sake.

You can see frank tomorrow.

There'’s nothing I can do.

You'’re gonna have to step back, sir.
