1. Oh, um, Granddad,
Copy !req
2. there was something I was supposed to tell you.
Copy !req
3. Uh, yeah. I think that, uh, Aunt Cookie called,
Copy !req
4. and I think it was important.
Copy !req
5. What—? Did you write it down?
Copy !req
6. Nah. But it was somethin' about this dude named... Mo.
Copy !req
7. Mo? You mean Mo Jackson?
Copy !req
8. Yeah, yeah. That's him.
Copy !req
9. Uh, I think it was something about—
Copy !req
10. Oh, oh, wait. I remember now. Yeah.
Copy !req
11. Something about him dying... or something.
Copy !req
12. Mo's dead?
Copy !req
13. Yeah. I think so. Something like that.
Copy !req
14. Oh, well. I'm not really sure.
Copy !req
15. You should probably call her back.
Copy !req
16. Well, how long ago did she call?
Copy !req
17. I don't know. Few days ago.
Copy !req
18. Well, how did it happen?
Copy !req
19. Well, you know Mo.
Copy !req
20. He took them pills that, you know, help y'all.
Copy !req
21. So anyway, you know how they say
Copy !req
22. if your erection lasts more than four hours,
Copy !req
23. you have to seek immediate medical attention?
Copy !req
24. Four to six.
Copy !req
25. He didn't.
Copy !req
26. Oh.
Copy !req
27. Lord, Robert, the man's dead.
Copy !req
28. Can't you let it go?
Copy !req
29. I can let it go now, 'cause he's dead, and I'm not.
Copy !req
30. You two are just the same. Whoo!
Copy !req
31. Stubborn dumb-asses.
Copy !req
32. The funeral's the day after tomorrow, Robert,
Copy !req
33. and you have to come.
Copy !req
34. Mo left you something in his will.
Copy !req
35. He did? It's complicated.
Copy !req
36. Robert, how are the boys?
Copy !req
37. I hate 'em both. Bye.
Copy !req
38. Boys, we're going home.
Copy !req
39. You wanna come over to my house tomorrow after school
Copy !req
40. and watch TV?
Copy !req
41. No.
Copy !req
42. Do you wanna come over and... play video games?
Copy !req
43. No.
Copy !req
44. Do you wanna come over and... have a jump-rope contest?
Copy !req
45. I'm going back home to Chicago.
Copy !req
46. For good?
Copy !req
47. No, I wish.
Copy !req
48. We're going for a funeral,
Copy !req
49. one of my granddad's old friends.
Copy !req
50. But I'm gonna get to see my best friend, Cairo.
Copy !req
51. Cairo is your best friend?
Copy !req
52. Yeah, but I haven't talked to him since I moved.
Copy !req
53. How can he be your best friend if you never talk to him?
Copy !req
54. I don't think I have a best friend.
Copy !req
55. Hm. Sucks for you.
Copy !req
56. Well, if I never come back, have a nice life.
Copy !req
57. Bye.
Copy !req
58. Oh, I used to love to fly.
Copy !req
59. Your granddaddy was the best Negro pilot of the war.
Copy !req
60. Mo was my wingman, called himself Mo Gunz.
Copy !req
61. How would you like to hear
Copy !req
62. a little story about World War II?
Copy !req
63. All right, Mo, we're five minutes from target.
Copy !req
64. We got bandits in the area. Look sharp.
Copy !req
65. MO: I'm gonna bin 'em and spin 'em
Copy !req
66. and go up in 'em.
Copy !req
67. Bullshit ain't nothing but chewed-up grass.
Copy !req
68. Just a big black ball that comes out of
Copy !req
69. a cow's ass.
Copy !req
70. Hey, Robert?
Copy !req
71. Robert!
Copy !req
72. Hey, don't ignore me, nigga.
Copy !req

Copy !req
74. What nigga you know got enough heart
Copy !req
75. to fly in the middle over Nazi Germany
Copy !req
76. with a white woman on his plane, huh?
Copy !req
77. Who do you know would do some shit like that?
Copy !req
78. Mo Gunz, that's who.
Copy !req
79. Mo, I'm trying to concentrate.
Copy !req
80. And I dare one of these crackers
Copy !req
81. to say somethin'. Shit.
Copy !req
82. I woke up this mornin'
Copy !req
83. wantin' to shoot me a white man.
Copy !req
84. Bandits. Two of them
Copy !req
85. coming right at us.
Copy !req
86. Look alive, Mo.
Copy !req
87. MO: Aw, shit. Here we go.
Copy !req

Copy !req
120. MO: I'm glad I'm not you.
Copy !req
121. I'm glad I'm me.
Copy !req
122. Look at him flip.
Copy !req
123. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Copy !req
124. MO: You think you bad?
Copy !req
125. You think you gonna get some bitches off of that?
Copy !req
126. You think you gonna get some airplane pussy?
Copy !req
127. Lordy-Lordy-Lord. Mo, I need help.
Copy !req
128. Mo, he's on my tail. Where you at?
Copy !req

Copy !req
131. Hurry up and save me! You realize,
Copy !req
132. if I save you, you done lost the bet, huh, nigga?
Copy !req
133. This ain't funny, Mo.
Copy !req
134. Mo, this is not funny. This is not amusing.
Copy !req
135. MO: Boy, you better
Copy !req
136. stop rushin' me.
Copy !req
137. Lower your fuckin' voice.
Copy !req
138. You actin' like a little bitch right now.
Copy !req
139. I am about to die.
Copy !req
140. What is wrong with you?
Copy !req
141. MO: Get ready, Jebediah.
Copy !req
142. You gonna tell your grandkids about this one.
Copy !req
143. Mo, stop!
Copy !req
144. Mo, stop it, stop it! You're shootin' me!

Copy !req
150. Damn.
Copy !req

Copy !req
152. MO Oh, that was cool, man.
Copy !req
153. We did it.
Copy !req
154. Yargh!
Copy !req
155. Hey!
Copy !req
156. You did great, man. You did a good job.
Copy !req
157. You're doin' good, man.
Copy !req
158. Now, you knows you still owe me them two bucks, right?
Copy !req
159. Can you believe that?
Copy !req
160. You know what two bucks could have bought in 1944?
Copy !req
161. Wait. What was the question?
Copy !req
162. You asked if we wanted to hear a really long story,
Copy !req
163. and we said no.
Copy !req
164. Granddad, you don't seem very sad
Copy !req
165. about losing your friend.
Copy !req
166. When you get older,
Copy !req
167. you're gonna realize that your friends,
Copy !req
168. well, they aren't always as loyal as you want them to be.
Copy !req
169. Cairo's always been pretty loyal.
Copy !req
170. Yeah, well, things change.
Copy !req
171. Mo did something terrible to me.
Copy !req
172. Something I couldn't forgive.
Copy !req
173. Whoo! There's my dumb-ass.
Copy !req
174. It's good to be home.
Copy !req
175. Yo, Cairo.
Copy !req
176. What's up, man?
Copy !req
177. I've been hittin' you up.
Copy !req
178. Yeah, you know, been busy.
Copy !req
179. So, what's up?
Copy !req
180. "What's up?" Heh.
Copy !req
181. Struggle is up, brother.
Copy !req
182. Oppression is up, brother.
Copy !req
183. Salami, eggs and bacon.
Copy !req
184. My name is Dewey Obababa Ooooo Mamasay Mamasaw Mamakusa...
Copy !req
185. Jenkins.
Copy !req
186. Nigga, what?
Copy !req
187. Ohhh!
Copy !req
188. This must be the famous revolutionary Huey Freeman.
Copy !req
189. Isn't this the brother who used to be your homeboy,
Copy !req
190. but then he ran away to— What was that? —Whitecrest?
Copy !req
191. Uh, Woodcrest.
Copy !req
192. Whitecrest? Nah, nah, I didn't run—
Copy !req
193. Yeah, whatever.
Copy !req
194. So, brother, where your poems at?
Copy !req
195. Huh?
Copy !req
196. How you gonna call yourself a revolutionary,
Copy !req
197. and you ain't got no poems?
Copy !req
198. If you were really down with the struggle,
Copy !req
199. you'd have your sandals and capris on, brother.
Copy !req
200. Where your head wrap? Where your sandals?
Copy !req
201. Where your capri pants? What's goin' on?
Copy !req
202. First of all, Mr. Freeman,
Copy !req
203. I'd like to say I'm sorry about the loss of your friend.
Copy !req
204. Oh, the hell with his punk-ass. What did he leave me?
Copy !req
205. Mo left a message for you.
Copy !req
206. Robert, what's up, man? Now, listen. I miss you, man.
Copy !req
207. And I've got something that I want you to have
Copy !req
208. that I'm leavin' for you.
Copy !req
209. Something to just, you know,
Copy !req
210. apologize for all of the bad blood.
Copy !req
211. Now, I can't tell you what it is
Copy !req
212. 'cause it's a secret,
Copy !req
213. but I want you to do me a favor.
Copy !req
214. I want you to deliver my eulogy.
Copy !req
215. What?
Copy !req
216. Now— Now, Robert, listen.
Copy !req
217. Has this nigga lost his mind?
Copy !req
218. Sit down.
Copy !req
219. Now, come on, Robert, now—
Copy !req
220. You know I always wanted to have a nice funeral
Copy !req
221. with bitches cryin', throwin' money and shit
Copy !req
222. all in my casket.
Copy !req
223. And you remember that
Copy !req
224. when that one guy died in the squad,
Copy !req
225. and you went up there and got up on the thing,
Copy !req
226. and said some ol' deep shit? Made it—
Copy !req
227. I forget what it was that you had said,
Copy !req
228. but I want you for my funeral.
Copy !req
229. We've been trying to reach you for some time, Mr. Freeman.
Copy !req
230. I know. I didn't wanna talk to him.
Copy !req
231. Robert, you need to go on and let it go.
Copy !req
232. Come on, man, dyin' wish.
Copy !req
233. How you gonna turn a nigga's dying wish down?
Copy !req
234. Now, look, you's— Boy, you's a hard motherfucker.
Copy !req
235. You're a cold piece of work, nigga. You something else.
Copy !req
236. Just a few nice words?
Copy !req
237. Mo loved the club.
Copy !req
238. So... it was no surprise
Copy !req
239. when he requested his service be held
Copy !req
240. on a party boat.
Copy !req
241. Robert?
Copy !req
242. Ooh, I can't believe it's you.
Copy !req
243. It's Maybeline.
Copy !req
244. I ain't seen you in 40 years.
Copy !req
245. Ooh, my goodness!
Copy !req
246. Oh.
Copy !req
247. Oh! You don't remember me.
Copy !req
248. Oh, I see. Oh, I ain't good enough for you
Copy !req
249. now you done moved out the neighborhood, huh?
Copy !req
250. Why, I bet you if I was a white bitch,
Copy !req
251. you'd remember me!
Copy !req
252. But I forgives you. Oh, but look at you, Robert.
Copy !req
253. Ooh, you looks good, all wrinkled up and soft.
Copy !req
254. Oh, if I didn't have this bad hip,
Copy !req
255. I'd drop it like it's hot. Whoo!
Copy !req
256. Ooh, boy. Ooh. I'd take off these teeth,
Copy !req
257. and I'd do some things that— Ooh, yeah!
Copy !req
258. Oh, I wanna scream.
Copy !req
259. Scream— Wah!
Copy !req
260. Hey. Hey.
Copy !req
261. Is everything all right, man?
Copy !req
262. Well...
Copy !req
263. if it isn't the Hilton brothers.
Copy !req
264. Hilton brothers. Hilton brothers.
Copy !req
265. Ooh...
Copy !req
266. Cairo took it pretty hard when you left, Huey.
Copy !req
267. You gonna have to give that some time.
Copy !req
268. Ah, fuck that nigga.
Copy !req
269. Mo had to be the best
Copy !req
270. colored fighter pilot of the war.
Copy !req
271. Wasn't he, Robert?
Copy !req
272. Of the war? Shoot. Ever.
Copy !req
273. I was the best colored fighter pilot of the war.
Copy !req
274. Wasn't Mo the one who flew that top-secret mission
Copy !req
275. in Germany that saved the whole world?
Copy !req
276. I did that. I flew that secret mission.
Copy !req
277. Speak up, Robert! That was Mo, right?
Copy !req
278. Mm-hm. That was Mo.
Copy !req
279. But— But— But— But that was me.
Copy !req
280. That was me. Me. Nah-uh.
Copy !req
281. That was Mo.
Copy !req
282. Why are you always swinging on Mo's balls—?
Copy !req
283. This is my medal. It's got my name on it.
Copy !req
284. How did he even get this?
Copy !req
285. Speak up, Robert.
Copy !req
286. We can't hear a word you're sayin'.
Copy !req
287. I hate Mo.
Copy !req
288. Hey. Robert, hey. I heard you're gonna be deliverin' the eulogy.
Copy !req
289. I think that's mighty nice of you.
Copy !req
290. I know you and Mo had some bad blood.
Copy !req
291. Well, what's in the past is in the past.
Copy !req
292. Uh, yeah. I remember how Mo would talk about
Copy !req
293. how he couldn't stand your black ass.
Copy !req
294. Whoo, ha!
Copy !req
295. I remember it like it was last week.
Copy !req
296. Matter of fact, I think it was last week.
Copy !req
297. Last week?
Copy !req
298. Oh, man.
Copy !req
299. You should've heard him, Robert. He was on a roll.
Copy !req
300. You was all kind of bitches and motherfuckers.
Copy !req
301. Oh, man. He was like Chappelle or somethin'.
Copy !req
302. He called me a motherfucker? He said that last week?
Copy !req
303. Sure did. I think it was Tuesday, about 1:48 p.m.
Copy !req
304. Well, ain't this a bitch.
Copy !req
305. And what surprised me
Copy !req
306. was how you bein' all kind of motherfuckers
Copy !req
307. really didn't have nothin' to do with the damn conversation.
Copy !req
308. What was we talkin' about?
Copy !req
309. Soybeans. Whoo! You a bigger man than me.
Copy !req
310. I don't think I could talk nice about somebody
Copy !req
311. say that type of stuff about me or my mama.
Copy !req
312. Hm. I am not the one.
Copy !req
313. I can't believe I let Mo talk me into this.
Copy !req
314. Well, you already here.
Copy !req
315. He said he left you something nice.
Copy !req
316. You might as well go on and get it over with.
Copy !req
317. Do you know what you gonna say?
Copy !req
318. No.
Copy !req
319. Well, don't worry. Just read this.
Copy !req
320. Mo wrote it. He thought you might have some trouble.
Copy !req
321. "Everything I have...
Copy !req
322. in life, I owe to Mo Jackson."
Copy !req
323. "I'm not gay, but Mo was a very sexy man"?
Copy !req
324. "We used to call him 'Mo Bitches'"?
Copy !req
325. "I once saw Mo in his underwear,
Copy !req
326. and it changed my life"?
Copy !req
327. "I wish I had a father like Mo Jackson."
Copy !req
328. "Mo Jackson paid my rent over 50 times"?
Copy !req
329. Okay, this is bullshit.
Copy !req
330. Mo Jackson was a asshole.
Copy !req
331. My God.
Copy !req
332. Mo Jackson was a petty, immature, selfish man.
Copy !req
333. Oh, he was good at one thing.
Copy !req
334. That's bringin' the worst out of everybody he met.
Copy !req
335. I came up here
Copy !req
336. because I thought Mo wanted to make things right,
Copy !req
337. but it was just one more chance for him to make a fool outta me.
Copy !req
338. Yeah! And that nigga owe me $5.
Copy !req
339. He owe me money too.
Copy !req
340. Brothers and sisters, please.
Copy !req
341. I think it's time for a poem.
Copy !req
342. Doom comes like a vacuum
Copy !req
343. Because death sucks and smells
Copy !req
344. Like a raccoon or a baboon
Copy !req
345. I'll never forget it.
Copy !req
346. I was on my way to see the gal I was courtin' at the time.
Copy !req
347. I can't remember her name. Oh, but I loved her.
Copy !req
348. She was the prettiest thing.
Copy !req
349. Do the little something strange for a piece of change.
Copy !req
350. MO: Shit.
Copy !req
351. Goddamn. Ooh.
Copy !req
352. I love to hit this again. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
353. I just couldn't forgive him.
Copy !req
354. Robert,
Copy !req
355. that girl wasn't your girlfriend.
Copy !req
356. You asked her for her phone number once and never called.
Copy !req
357. I was gonna call.
Copy !req
358. What's-her-name could've been the one.
Copy !req
359. And Mo took that from me.
Copy !req
360. Robert, you wanna see what Mo took from you?
Copy !req
361. It's Maybeline, nyukka!
Copy !req
362. Death kills us Like crack killed Pookie
Copy !req
363. Like Schwarzenegger Killed Tookie
Copy !req
364. Chewbacca was a Wookiee
Copy !req
365. Revolution
Copy !req
366. Boooo!
Copy !req
367. Hey, Erykah Ba-Dewey.
Copy !req
368. That was real gay, my nigga.
Copy !req
369. Cut that out.
Copy !req
370. Shut up, Riley.
Copy !req
371. What's wrong with you, Cairo? That nigga's corny.
Copy !req
372. Corny? Nigga, you're corny.
Copy !req
373. At least he's here.
Copy !req
374. Why don't you go follow your punk-ass granddad
Copy !req
375. back to Whitesville, fake nigga?
Copy !req
376. Hmm.
Copy !req
377. Eh...
Copy !req
378. Don't run, nigga. I see you.
Copy !req
379. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
380. Get off—
Copy !req
381. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
382. I don't remember her lookin' like that.
Copy !req
383. Y'all had pretty bad taste back then.
Copy !req
384. Robert, everybody knew Mo was an asshole,
Copy !req
385. but he wasn't the one who threw your friendship away.
Copy !req
386. You did, dumb-ass.
Copy !req
387. What have I done?
Copy !req
388. I threw away all that time... for nothing.
Copy !req
389. Boys, stop that. Get off me.
Copy !req
390. Man, why'd you even come back? Ain't nobody miss you.
Copy !req
391. Let me go.
Copy !req
392. What's Robert doin' now?
Copy !req
393. I got to hear this.
Copy !req
394. Here's the thing.
Copy !req
395. Relationships are like people, I guess.
Copy !req
396. They begin, they have adventures,
Copy !req
397. they grow old, and they die.
Copy !req
398. Me and Mo both made it to old age,
Copy !req
399. but we let our friendship die way too young.
Copy !req
