(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS) ♪
I just want to skate.
I'm not an influencer.
I want to let you know
that I didn't cut
you out of that--
Well, it's not like you did it,
but you didn't say shit anyways.
When did you all
get to the neighborhood?
We're actually running
a new community center
out of this building.
That's good to know,
you're supposed to be here.
Don't be talking to me with
your hands all up in my face,
you don't know my fucking life.
I know enough!
SPEAKER: You're cute
All right.
Where have you even been?
KIRT: I've been trying to help
these boys grow into men.
-ALL: Single mom! Single mom!
-What?
JAKE: Hey. It's Jake.
SPEAKER 2: What's up?
How you doing? Everything good?
I said back off!
Yoah, what the fuck is wrong--
Hey, hey, time to go.
Get the fuck off me, man!

- 'Sup guys?
Camille, and we are live
on NFD's Instagram account.
Uh, it's Halloween,
and I figured I'd tell you guys
a scary story
about Night for Day.
Yeah, so they approached me,
and wanted me
to skate for them.
I was down because I wanted to
represent female skateboarding.
You know,
it's something I care about.
But they don't care about that,
and that's pretty scary.
They don't actually give a fuck
about me or any of you guys.
They put me
in skimpy-ass clothes
that you can't even skate in.
It's, like, horrible.
And they also
cut my friend Tai,
who is an incredible
skateboarder,
out of a video that we made.
Why?
Because they don't give a fuck
about skateboarding, all right?
They don't care
about any of this.
[skaters clamoring, yelling]
They don't--they don't care!
Like, they--
don't buy their clothes!
They don't give a fuck!
Fuck NFD.
I don't know why they gave me
their Instagram account.

It's very original.
- But he was stalking
your homegirl.
- Facts.
- Yeah.
- Exactly, my homegirl.
Um, did anybody check on her?
Did anybody even ask Indigo
if she was okay?
None of you.
After all these lessons,
you guys didn't even
pay attention
to the woman in the situation.
You guys cannot just run around
like a bunch of ding-dongs,
jumping random guys based off
of some shit that I said.
[indistinct chatter
in the background]
- So what do we do now, Kirt?
- I don't know,
I don't have any answers.
I can't help you guys
be good dudes.
I'm not even a good person.
- No, no, no,
you're the best person.
- No, I'm not.
- You taught us all
how to be better.
Look at us!
- Stay lit, girl.
- Then why did I fuck
your girlfriend?
- Whoa!
- Yo

- You fucked Sh--
you--you fucked Shelby?

- Yo, you're the man, Kirt!
- No, I'm not.
- How could you do that to me,
Kirt?
- I like her, Micah.
A lot.
And I really do apologize.
But look at it like this.
I basically did you a favor,
because now you know
that I'm a fraud.
I'm sorry.
I'm done.
- Yo.
- People living
their damn lives, bro.
- Was that prostate thing
even real?
- [scoffs]
Yeah, it was.
- Oh, no, for sure it was.
I remember that.
- Hey!
Been looking
all over for you.
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
- I'm not hurt.

- What happened?
- I let some guy eat me out
for money,
and he didn't pay me.
And then
I've just been spiraling,
like, I don't know what to do.
[sighs]
I feel so lost.
And I just feel like
I'm fucking everything up
that I care about.
Like
[sighs]
I'm out--like, outside my body,
watching myself fuck up
on life.
I suck at everything.
I don't--I don't know
if it's Breonna Taylor
or COVID or--or my mom,
but it's just--
it fucking sucks right now.
- It's a lot.
- It's everything.

I'm sorry about earlier.
- Me too.
- Oh, honey, it's okay.
- Who the fuck are you?
- It's me.
It's Gwen, your neighbor.
I--and I-I just wanted
to let you guys know
that I-I called the cops,
so don't wor--
- You what?
- That was a big fight.
- So you called the cops?
- Yo, yo, yo!
Yo!
We have to turn the music off
right now.
- Why, what's wrong?
- Because somebody
called the cops.
- You deadass?
- Yes!

The Boys is on their way.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.

- Hey, did you hear
the cops are coming?
- Yeah.
- I haven't seen Victoria
anywhere.
- Do you want me
to help you look for her?
- I mean, if you could,
that would be great.
Where the fuck is she?

[indistinct radio chatter]
- I should get this.
Excuse me.
Let me--Just let me--
- No, no, no, no, no--
It's okay, it's okay.
I come in peace.
- Yeah, we got a call
about an assault in progress?
- Right.
Uh, listen.
I called you, and um, uh--
now I would like to uncall you.
- Well, you can't uncall us.
- It doesn't work that way.
- What--what the hell's
going on in there?
- We--we have restored justice
in there.
- Okay, what was that
with that guy back there?
- He's just a guy.
- Really, Honeybear?
I mean, I love you, but that
was just straight childish.
- It's no different
than what you've been doing.
- It is different.
We talked about Victoria.
Plus, she's a grown-ass woman.

Thank you.

- Right.
Thank you so much.
My friends, I thank you.

All right, let me let you in
on a little secret.
I am not on no Mother Teresa
type shit, all right?
I'm actually the most selfish
person you'll ever meet.
For real, for real.
Check it out, check it out,
check it out.
A, I love cooking.
B, I adore Black folks.
C, I get to do what I like
to do, all day every day.
Now tell me what's not more
selfish than that right there.
- I guess.
- All right, now,
here's another thing.
You can get lost out here
in this city, right?
Trick is not to lose yourself
in the process.
Tell you one more thing.
That drug shit?
Chill with that shit, right?
Gonna fuck up
your serotonin levels.
You'll be up one day,
down next day.
Eat this apple.

- Um, I told him that
I like you and you like me.
And also, Shelby, I feel, like,
when we went away,
we connected so hard
in such a small amount of time.
Like, there's some
real feelings there.
- Listen, Kirt.
You're cool and all, like,
I like you, and we had fun.
But that was kind
of a fantasy, you know?
Like, I don't--
Did you--did you think that
you'd be my girlfriend
or something?
We're back to reality now.
I'm here with my boyfriend.
I don't--
[chuckles]
- No?
No.
I was just playing.
I'll see you later.

[siren wails]
- Welcome to the party.
- Good evening.
Are you the owner?
- Yeah, what's going on?
- We think someone may be
trespassing on the property.
- Fuck!
Fuck!
Yo, yo, can you just get
everyone to chill out?

Hi, I'm Janay.
I'm coordinating all of this.
Um, this was just a food drive
for a charity
that we were doing,
so, I mean, if we were loud,
we can totally keep it down.
- Food--this ain't
no food drive,
it's a costume party.
What's going on here?
- I'm guessing
you're the owner, right?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Um, we--it was empty,
and we just thought it was
a good opportunity to,
you know,
just do something good.
- Yeah, yeah.
Except, you know, it's illegal.
You can't just walk in
anywhere you want to
and do whatever you want.
It's illegal.
- Okay, yeah, yeah.
I mean, we were just trying
to feed people who were hungry.
That's it.
You know, that--
and that's why we collected
all these cans.
All of us here!
We--we did this!
Look at--look at this!
Look!
- You collected all these cans?
- Yeah.
We're supposed
to give this all away.
- Yeah, uh, I get it.
It's--it's beautiful, really.
It--it's a beautiful thing
you're doing.
I mean that.
- Thank you.
Thanks.
- But it's a liability for me,
see?
- Yeah.
- Anything goes wrong,
I get sued.
- Yeah.
- So--so you gotta just get
the fuck out of the building,
all right?
- All right, move it, move it!
- Come on.
- You heard him, party's over!
- Sorry.
Wait, wait, can we--can we
just keep the cans, please?
Can we just keep the cans?

Get this shit out of here!
Grab what you can,
