Atlanta (2016) s04e06 Episode Script

1
Mm. There are 5,000
channels on this damn box
and I can't ever find
what the hell I want.
E-S-P-N.
Just a regular goddamn remote.
I told you what you need to do.
You need to cut all of that off.
You know, the cable,
the electric, the gas.
- All of it, just
- cut it off.
Nigga, you know I'm not doing that.
Why not?
'Cause I ain't no hipster
living with his sister's
girlfriend's cousin picking
boysenberries or some shit.
Nigga, I'm rich.
Plus, you can't stream everything.
What can't you stream?
You know, man, shit like the news.
- Huh?
- The news, my nigga?
- This nigga said "the news."
- Are you 80 years old?
Yes, nigga. Yeah, the news.
Yeah, I watch that.
I want to stay informed and shit.
That's why I watch CNN.
Isn't CNN that place
where you take your kids
to play in the fountains?
Look, you want to know
if somebody died, TMZ.
You want to know if
someone's canceled, Twitter.
You want to know what's going
on in the Black community?
Shade Room comments section.
- Exactly.
- Or Lipstick Alley.
Right. Right.
Yo, y'all heard about
that Crank Dat Killer?
Crank Dat what?
Wait, man, Wait. I
heard about this theory.
Most of the Black
murders that have occurred
in the past year and a
half have all been linked
to a common denominator.
All the victims made
"Crank Dat" dance videos
back in the day.
- What?
- Yeah.
I-I didn't believe it either, but
this dude on Lipstick Alley,
man, he did his homework, man.
He cited his work and everything.
Yeah, I mean, I believe him.
Soulja Boy just better watch his back,
that's all I know.
Yeah, it's a good thing none
of us made "Crank Dat" videos,
'cause this guy seems pissed.
And whoever did, man,
they better watch their back.
You know, I bet you he got
tabs on 'em and everything.
Yeah. The FBI wants to talk to anybody
who's been to the Pool Palace, you know,
in the past ten years.
No, I heard the killer got,
like, white glasses like Fabo.
He come in, he like
- He got a knife.
- Yeah, and with the
You all right, man?
Hmm?
Ah ♪
Soulja Boy off in this ho ♪
Watch me crank it, watch me roll ♪
Watch me crank dat Soulja Boy ♪
Then Superman that ho ♪
Now watch me crank
that Soulja Boy ♪
Look, man, it was 2007, all right?
I-I trapped in the
parking lot of GreenBriar
the entire summer.
It was hot, it was boring.
I must've ate about a hundred
Pretzelmaker pretzels, man.
Of course I fucked around and
made one of these videos, man.
Look, if you sold drugs in Atlanta,
you made a "Crank Dat" video, okay?
So me and my homie
J-Berg, we recorded this.
And this has been on the
Internet the entire time?
Man, J-Berg posted that shit.
I would call his ass and
tell him to take it down,
but then the nigga would
have my phone number.
Plus the nigga's probably dead.
Gotta be real with you,
uh, even I don't like this.
But, you know, look, it got 25 views,
so you could be in the good.
The killer may not have even seen it.
Nigga, I ain't worried about no
goddamn "Crank Dat" killer, man.
Hey, look, see if you
can get this scrubbed
off the Internet, Earn, all right?
The last thing I need is
niggas hyped over this story
finding my ass, all right?
All right.
Then Superman that ho ♪
Mm.
You know, when you look deeper into it,
spiritually it's a little deeper.
You see, our roots
kind of deal with dancing.
No, you don't gotta
do that. This is bad.
It's real bad.
Whoo!
'Aight, 15 minutes to record a track.
That gotta be a record.
Man, why is it so hard
to get sneakers nowadays?
Me and Darius are trying to get these
Nike Miracles, man.
The shit sold out in, like, 30 seconds.
Yeah, man, resellers got
the game fucked up, man.
Might as well be shoe gentrification.
Hey, why don't you just call Nike
and have 'em send you a pair for me?
I already did. They
told me to go to hell.
It is what it is, man. Sorry.
Hey, man, bounce that
track back from the top.
- Hey, Paper Boi.
- Yo.
There's a guy in the next room over
that wanted to pop in and say what's up.
Some guy named Doug?
Yeah.
Yeah, tell him it's cool, man.
You can tell him it's cool.
Who? Doug? What?
Nigga, man. No, some
- He's a rapper: Some Guy Named Doug.
- Oh.
He always trying to get me on
a track with his ass and shit.
Man, I mean, he a cool dude,
but his music sound like ass, nigga.
- Yeah, his music does suck.
- Yeah.
Great guy, though.
Aw, there he go.
- Ha ha! Paper Boi!
- Ah
What's going on, Some Guy Named Doug?
I knew I heard you in
here. What's good, man?
Oh, man, you know, laying it down, babe.
Shit, you in here cooking up?
You know, you know, on the regular, man.
Yo, we should get on a song together.
Oh, man, man, I would
love to do that, man,
but I'm on my way out, man,
and the system just crashed, my nigga.
- Wow. Really?
- Yeah, man.
Well, what you been working
on? Play me something.
Oh, man, I can't 'cause the
speaker's busted, too, man.
Oh, you can just email it to me.
And the motherfuckin' Wi-Fi down, too.
- All this shit connected, nigga.
- What?!
I've been trying to tell
these niggas to get a router.
Damn, every time, man.
Look, one of these days
we gonna get on a song together.
- Hey, man, I'm down.
- 'Aight?
- Yeah.
- One day.
- One day, nigga.
- 'Aight, man, I'm-a call you.
- Hey, you could text.
- Okay, I'm-a text you.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I got some new beats, too.
- Fire!
- All right. Yeah.
- I'm-a send it to you.
- All right, you do that.
You do that, you do that you do that.
That's cool.
I gotta get a new phone, nigga,
like, immediately, 'cause
- Doug's a nice guy.
- He's-he's incredibly kind, man.
- Hey, you back this up?
- No, we done.
Oh, shit, it's smoking
like a motherfucker, man.
Oh, man.
We ain't gotta pay for
that, right? Like?
No, we ain't gotta pay for that.
All right, I'll catch you later.
- Hey, man, hit me when you get home.
- All right.
Shit, man.
What the fuck was I thinking?
Babe.
Babe! We're here.
My bad.
You should, uh
you should go home, get
more sleep before work.
No. Not with your
little brother and sister
running around.
Babe, we gotta move
out of your mom's place.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
You know, I support your
rap career and everything,
but maybe it's time you thought about
getting a real job, like a career.
Just in case the rap thing, you know
Look, baby, remember
how I told you about
how Big Sean got discovered?
Yeah.
You said he rapped for Kanye
outside of a radio station or something.
Exactly.
All I need is one opportunity.
And I'm gonna be prepared
for when that moment comes.
Just have faith.
Please?
Okay.
I promise you that
everything's gonna be okay.
All right, take care of
Mommy, Little Juanita.
So who is this guy?
Uh, he is but a man with many shoes.
The neighborhood knows him as Shoe Man.
So he's kind of like Sock
Man, except for shoes.
Yeah, but Sock Man had an actual store.
This-this is a van.
No, man, this guy's legit.
Shoe know what it is. Yes, sir.
Hey
Hop in, gentlemen.
All right.
Get that door for me, champ?
- Oh, yeah.
- Appreciate you.
So how can I help you boys?
We want to get the the Nike Miracles.
- Yeah, they're sold out
- What size?
11. Right?
- 11 for you, too?
- Yeah, 11.
I got 11, 10 and a half.
- Last two.
- Ah.
Really?
Damn, that's surprising.
They usually don't be having any 11s.
Whoa!
- Yes.
- Really?
- Yes.
- These legit?
Yeah, they real. That's why
they call me the Shoe Man.
- All right.
- Damn.
Um, how much?
Nothing, really.
Just let me see you two kiss.
- I'm sorry?
- What?
Just let me see y'all
two kiss in the backseat.
- All right. I mean, that's easy.
- Wait. No, no, no.
Wait. Hold on.
How much for the shoes, man?
How much money do you want?
I don't need money,
man. Everybody got money.
Yeah, man, look, it
ain't that big of a deal.
We just knock this out.
Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.
- I don't want to kiss you.
- Be on with our day.
Look, I know you're not gay, bro.
That's not the point. Okay?
I don't want to kiss
my friend for shoes.
So, what, you want to kiss a stranger?
- I don't understand what
- I don't want to kiss
anybody, Darius.
Damn, y'all back?
I'm gonna need an answer,
fellas, I got a line.
Do you need to look at 'em again?
Nigga is stupid.
Trash.
- Hello?
- Hello?
Hey, hey. Hey, Soulja,
man, what's up, man?
Paper Boi? What up, brah?
Oh, you know, man, I'm coolin', coolin'.
Hey, hey, I got a dumbass qu
I got a dumbass question, man.
Yeah? What up?
Um, you heard anything about
this "Crank Dat" killer stuff?
Are you serious? Of course I have.
I got more "Crank Dat" content
on the Internet than anyone.
Too much to count.
I basically invented YouTube.
Yeah, definitely.
You lucky, man.
Lucky you ain't got a bunch of
"Crank Dat" videos like me.
Oh, you know what?
This shit. Back in the
day, man, I did, actually.
What?
What are you saying, man?
You made a "Crank Dat" song?
Yeah, man, but I ain't call it that.
I called it the "Crank
Dat Jimmy Neutron."
- You know what I'm saying?
- Nigga, what?! That was you?
Yo, you gotta skip
town just like me then.
Wait, you serious?
If I was you, I'd be on the way
to my safe farm right now.
Safe farm? What the hell is a safe farm?
A farm that's safe.
If you don't got a safe
farm, you good as dead.
You know
"Like a good nigga,
safe farm is there."
Nigga, what the fuck
is you talking about?
I don't know, man.
I'm tired, I'm scared.
Yo, get all the Soulja-tendo
game systems. All of 'em.
Look, you are not safe, man.
I don't care who you are,
you got a "Crank Dat" video out there,
you better watch your back.
I gotta go.
But
Where the hell are my glasses at?
Safe farm.
So what's up, fellas? This
kiss ain't gonna French itself.
French ki Nah, you didn't
say that before. French?
I'm sorry, it's just an
expression I'm trying out.
Okay, we got a couple questions.
Uh, right?
How long a kiss are we talking here?
- Eight minutes?
- Eight minutes?
- No, man. Come on.
- No. Come on, man, that's
- That's a whole, like, Animaniacs.
- That's fine. Then let's haggle.
Yeah, that's a make-out
Well, let's haggle, then.
A peck on the lips.
What, you kissing your
grandma? Nigga, please.
- Two minutes at least.
- Man, fuck this.
- Man, fuck these shoes.
- Okay, hold on.
Hold on, hold on, hold
on. All right, look.
Well, but Let me and him
discuss this one-on-one, please.
And we'll definitely come
back with an answer for you.
It better be worth it.
I know it is.
Man, do what you want,
man. I'm not doing it.
What do you mean you're
not doing it, man?
What I'm supposed to
do, just kiss myself?
I can't
These things are worth $10,000, man.
- I've seen it online.
- Then pay it.
Pay the $10,000 online.
I'm not gonna pay $10,000 for
something I can get for $200.
That just The principle of that
Exactly. It's the principle, okay?
I get it, okay?
I like sneakers. You like sneakers.
But like a lot of Black men,
we put an excessive amount
of value in them, okay.
Is it really worth our dignity?
There are only a thousand in the, like,
- in the whole world.
- Man
You've seen me wear $900 loafers
that would get me roasted at any
- Black high school in Atlanta.
- Yeah. True.
I've seen billionaires walk into
very important meetings
wearing some dirty Vans.
I've seen you wear a paper
towel around your head
and make it look cool, like Jadakiss.
That was a fun summer, huh?
I'll kiss you if you
want for these sneakers,
but I think we're above this.
I think you know I'm right.
Mm.
I think we should do it.
Hey, Shoe Man,
two orders of Nike Miracles, please.
Let's do this.
Y'all ready?
Hey, how you doing today?
Uh, can I get one soft pretzel?
Paper Boi?
I'm gonna give you two extra pretzels.
Don't tell nobody though.
Mm, can I get you on my Instagram Live?
Hell no.
Um
- Hey, can I ask you something?
- Mm-hmm.
How you know it was me?
Only famous people trying to blend in
come in dressed like that.
You're the only nigga in here
with a hat with no logo on it.
You know how hard it is to
find a hat without a logo on it?
See?
That's Chris Evans.
