Goofs
|
Continuity: During the car chase, Jack's hair alternates between flat and spiked. Continuity: At Johnny's bar, Jerry's hand alternates between being on the table and holding a glass off the table. Continuity: When Bobby interrupts the high school basketball game, Jerry walks away from Bobby. In the next shot, he is next to Bobby again. Continuity: After the kid tells Bobby the lights go off at ten, Bobby checks his watch on his left hand. In the next shot, the watch is on his right hand. SYNC: At the end, a cop asks Bobby, "Let me ask you again." Then he asks "What happened to Victor Sweet, Mercer?" without moving his lips. Fact errors: The Detroit Police Department does not have a "SWAT" team; they have an "SRT" (Special Response Team). Revealing mistakes: Bobby's tattoo disappears when he is on the toilet. The T-shirt wouldn't have hidden all of it. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: During the shootout at the house, the brothers run out to help Jack, then run back inside to dodge bullets. When they jump down on the floor right inside the house, Bobby brushes up against the brick wall (which is stopping all the bullets), and the whole wall shakes back and forth. Continuity: SPOILER: When Lt. Green talks to the Mercers after the shootout, the two windows on the top floor of the blue house directly behind Lt. Green are closed. After Bobby talks about "burying Sweet", the camera goes back to Green, and both windows are wide open. GEOG: The movie is set in Detroit, but in outdoor scenes a distinctive, oval Star Choice satellite dish can be seen on at least one house. Star Choice is only available in Canada. Revealing mistakes: When Jeremiah is accused of having something to do with Evelyn's death, he pushes Bobby and punches Angel. Angel falls back from the punch and knocks some items off of a bookcase. In the next shot, some of the items are back in their original places. Continuity: A close-up of the front of the El Camino Guys driver's license shows that it is a pre-2000 Michigan license. In the next shot, the back of the license has a magnetic stripe, which is found on post-2000 licenses. Continuity: At the funeral reception, Green and Fowler's police car has a rotating lamp on the drivers side door in one shot. In the next shot, the light is gone. Crew: SPOILER: When Officer Green is shot in the alley, you can see the squib under his shirt just before the cut to his partner pulling the trigger. Continuity: When Bobby and Jack are looking at the guns found at the shooter's apartment, Sofi throws a towel at Bobby. He ducks, and the towel hits the hanging lamp causing it to swing. In the next shot, Jeremiah walks over to the table, and the lamp is completely still. Continuity: SPOILER: When Bobby kneels over Jack after he has been shot, the snow on his left arm changes pattern and amount and even disappears in one shot. Fact errors: The store where Evelyn is killed is described as "106th Street Liquor store." Detroit has no 106th street. CHAR: SPOILER: During Jack's funeral, the camera winds up on Evelyn's tombstone. It says she was born in 1939 and died in 2004, which would make her 65. Bobby said she was 62, which means she was born in 1942. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: During the shootout, one of the attackers breaks into the house. Jeremiah grabs him from behind and stabs him. Yet no blood appears anywhere: Jeremiah, the attacker, and the knife stay clean. Revealing mistakes: In the scene where the Insurance agent introduces himself and states the purpose of his visit, he states he is from "State Farm Insurance". However when Jerry cashes the check it is from "Mutual State Insurance". Continuity: In the scene where Victor Sweet is driving to the ice hole to meet Jeremiah, the first scene, from the air, shows him in a black GM model full-size SUV, either a Tahoe or a Cadillac Escalade (appears to have Escalade wheels), but after cutting to him IN the vehicle, and then to the front of the vehicle pulling up and stopping, it is a Lincoln Navigator, around the same year model. Fact errors: Arabic letters in the showcase of a store where Evelyn Mercer has been killed do not only form words but have no ligatures while they must. |

Jeremiah: [lifts kids silver necklace] What is this? Aluminum? Jack: Shit doesn't even spin. Detective Fowler: Hey, Gretzky, you know what this is? Bobby: A hair from your wife's tit? [first lines] Evelyn Mercer: Ok, Darnell, so the candy just happened to jump into your pocket, huh? Well I don't think so. Samir's going to call the police right now. Samir, the police! Darnell: Please don't call the police, man, please! Evelyn Mercer: That's what happens when you shoplift. There's consequences. Darnell: But it's just some damn candy! I don't wanna go to jail! Evelyn Mercer: Well you can probably get away with stealing sometimes, Darnell, but sooner or later you're gonna get caught. Is that the way you want to lead your life? Darnell: No. Evelyn Mercer: I happen to believe you're worth more. But you gotta believe it, Darnell. Darnell: I hear you, Miss Evelyn. Evelyn Mercer: Are you bullshitting me? Darnell: No, Ma'am. Evelyn Mercer: Well you better not be, you hear me? Darnell: Yes, Ma'am. Evelyn Mercer: Ok. Now you tell Samir. Darnell: I won't steal anymore, sir. Samir: Alright. [hangs up the phone] Evelyn Mercer: Boy, did you get lucky. Damian: Call me an ambulance. Bobby: What? For my Dog bites? Nah, I'll be fine. Camille Mercer: Bobby! You told me you weren't gonna let him get hurt! Bobby: He breathin'. Jack: Jack drinks Jack! Jack drink Jack! [considering his name is Jack and he's Drinking Jack Daniels] Jeremiah: Jackie is drunk! Bobby: Jack likes ass crack and ballsack. Jack: Jack doesn't like ass crack and ballsack! Jack likes boobs! Jack's got fans. Jack's got lots of fans. Angel: Man, shut the hell up. Angel: I gotta ask you a question. Me and Sofi did a lot of making up last night. It seems like a got a little rust on my tools down here [opens his bathrobe] Bobby: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Ask the cockologist in the shower. Jack: How the hell would I know? Bobby: You're the expert. Jack: [looks for a second] Rug burn. Bobby: I wanna make a toast to Evelyn Mercer, the greatest mother four degenerate bastards ever had. Pour me and my brothers another round, and some nice warm milk for my little sister. Jack: Man, I will drink you under the table. Bobby: We're not talking about sperm, Jack, this is whiskey. Jack: [meeting Jeremiah's daughters] Hey, you must be Daniela! Bobby: [petting Amelia's costumed dog] and you must be Amelia! I like your dress... Amelia Mercer: I'm Amelia! Bobby: I know. You probably don't remember us, but I'm your Uncle Bobby, and this is Cracker Jack. Jack: Man, don't teach them that. Daniela Mercer: You can't be our uncles. You're white. Amelia Mercer: Grandma Eva's white! Bobby: That's right. You see, we're a different kind of uncle. Your grandma, she adopted me and your uncle Jack just like she adopted your daddy. Bobby: [imitating a teenage girl] The popos is here! Ya'll better run, man, these white cops are crazy! They killed Cornbread! They killed him - he didn't do nothin'! [Jack, Jeremiah, Bobby and Angel are talking to a lawyer about their inheritance] Jack: How much do we get? [Bobby smacks him in the back of the head] Bobby: She's so La Vida Loca. Angel: Shut up Bobby, don't start with that! That's why you don't get a girlfriend. Bobby: I get a girlfriend every fucking week. You know what I want a girlfriend like you. Sofi: Callate! Angel: Please don't go there. Can y'all please not go there. Sofi: [in a whiny voice] Angel, you said this time was going to be different. Bobby: Ai mami, you're breaking mi corazon, chica. She's getting real comfortable here. What are you doing? I thought you were a macho man, a tough guy. You know, it's a crying shame that Little Jack is the only one down to ride. Bobby: [after Jack is shot] Jack! Jack, look at me! Jack, you all right? Hold on. We need an ambulance! Angel: Somebody help! Call 911! Bobby: Jack. Jack. Jack! Jack, please. Come on, man. Sofi: I'm calling, I'm calling! Bobby: Come on, Jack, you gotta breathe! Sofi: [on the phone] We need an ambulance right now! Bobby: Don't you die on me you little fairy. Come on, Jack. Please! You gotta fucking breathe! Come on! Jack: [grunts and gasps, gives one last breath, and dies] Bobby: [crying] Jack! Jack. Jack, come on, Jack, please! Please... Angel: [whispers] Jack. Jack: [chasing a kid down a hallway in a school] Hey, kid! No running in the halls! Bobby: Jack, it was a questionable kill. Jack: What makes you think that? Bobby: Boy, it's sad, you growing up without a father. Nobody taught you anything, did they? Maybe I should've stayed around longer and held your little hand, huh sweetheart? Sometimes pros will cover up their shots with another crime, like a burglary or something, then pay a witness to throw the cops onto the wrong suspect. Jack: Why would anybody wanna kill the sweetest woman in the God-damn world? Bobby: I dunno, Jackie. I dunno. Lt. Green: You keep knocking on the devil's door long enough and sooner or later someone's gonna answer you. Bobby: He's your brother? Well, shit, these are my brothers. Keenon: [looks around] No, no: he's my real brother Bobby: Yeah, these are my real brothers. I'm Bobby, that's Angel, Jack and Jeremiah. [Victor Sweet's first lines] Victor Sweet: Out-of-town shooters. That's what I said. I remember hearing myself saying, "Out-of-town shooters." You know what? You don't pay a ho to fuck you. You pay her to leave. What you pay out-of-town shooters to do? You pay them to get the hell back out of town. That's why I asked for out-of-town shooters. What'd I get? In-town shooters. Someone decided to hire in-town shooters. You know what else I got for my money? In-town police. In-town trouble. Who's got to get in the ring with me on this? Jack: [crying after being shot] BOBBY! Bobby: [pinned down on the porch] Jack! Jack: [crying] BOBBY! Jeremiah: Jack! Jack: So, shit, Bobby, what've you been up to? Bobby: I'm a freakin' college professor, Jack, what do you think I've been doing. Jack: I doubt that. Bobby: What about you? You still sucking a little cock left and right, or what? Jack: Fucker. Evelyn Mercer: May God forgive you. Jeremiah: Evelyn was in this city for a long time. She saw a lot that was terrible, but she stayed hopeful. She still believed that things were getting better, sometimes despite all evidence. And that's a hard thing to do, stay hopeful. Even when you can't find a reason. Jeremiah: Do you remember when I built that tree house and you burnt that shit down? Boy, I wanted to kick your ass! Bobby: Don't worry, your house is brick, I ain't gonna burn it down. Bobby: What about me, Green? You gonna arrest me too? Lt. Green: That depends, Bobby. You keeping strait? Bobby: Strait-ish. Bobby: Thanks for coming, Green. Ma would've been happy you made it to the service. Lt. Green: Shit, your mom would've been happy you made it back for her funeral! Bobby: I didn't come back for no funeral. Jack: Haven't seen you in forever! Angel: Yeah, I know. Jack: Hey, did you get your teeth whitened? Angel: Man, shut up Jackie-poo [commentating as Jerry and Angel wrestle] Bobby: Yeah, get him Jerry! The gorgeous black ladies of wrestling! Nitro and Midnight! Nitro's got Midnight in a headlock! Get him, Jerry! Midnight's trying to be up, but Nitro's on him! Jeremiah: Mom always said, as bright as Bobby is, he just doesn't like to think. Gang Leader: That shit was counterfit as a mother-fucker, man! Ain't nobody playing no basketball when that shit went down! Why you think the cops ain't arrest nobody? Bobby: How do you know nobody was playing basketball if you weren't there? Gang Leader: Because, bitch, the police said those people wasn't kill till 11 o'clock! Bobby: So what? Gang Leader: So they turn the court lights out at ten! Jack: Bobby, take it easy. Bobby: Shut up Jack. Bobby: I don't know how you did it for so many years, man. It must've driven you crazy, Angel. On a ship for, what, six months at a time with nothing but dudes Angel: It wasn't a ship. And the marine's went co-ed, they got girls now. Bobby: Yeah, I bet'cha those girls look like dudes too, though. Angel: Not after six months they don't. Angel: Cops are always welcome at the Mercer's. It makes us feel safe and cozy. Just the way we like it. Angel: Green, how do you go from petty thug to contract killer? And if they were professional shooters like you say, they'd have never told us who they were working with anyway. Sofi: Angel, can I ask you a question? What the hell is this? [holds up some condoms] Angel: Those are breathmints, baby! Sofi: You know I'm allergic to latex! Who did you buy them for? Angel: Put the coo coo back in the clock, baby, I bought them in Vegas way before I even knew I was coming here! Angel: Jerry ain't been strait up with us about that redevelopment project. I found out his dream's dead. Jerry got involved with some bad people. The city got on him about fraud and what not, cut his loans off like a month ago. Technically, Jerry's really broke. Bobby: You think this had something to do with what happened to Ma? Angel: No, I'm saying it's something we should look into. Jack: What do you think he found? Bobby: I don't know, but it's something big. Jack: How can you tell? Bobby: By the sound of his voice. I know my brother. Jack: You guys are coming up with this pretty quick. Bobby: Yeah, we should've been cops. Bobby: I ain't playing no more. I'm gonna go in there and bust that melon... Jack: Hey! His family's in there! Angel: Bobby, you're gonna have to calm down. Bobby: Oh, I'm calm. He think's I'm an idiot! He thinks I don't know what the fuck is going on! [about Jack] Angel: I miss him too. We won't be able to bring him back, but we're going to send him some company. Bobby: I don't know what to do anymore. I already lost one brother. You guys are all I got. Evan: Sweet wants blood. That's not negotiable Detective Fowler: It's not looking good for you, homeboy. Angel: We'll see if they're still your boys after they find out you killed your partner Green, homeboy. Detective Fowler: That's your angle, huh? You're gonna walk out there and tell them I killed Green? That's your story? Angel: It has the advantage of being true. Detective Fowler: So what? I killed my partner. I could kill the whole damn police department if you were the only witness. They'd probably just promote me to chief. You're one of the Mercer brothers. No cop in the world is going to believe your word over mine. Angel: You know what, you're probably right. Other than the ones I got outside right now in a van, listening to every bit of our conversation. Victor Sweet: God damn it, I like the way you do business! Bobby: You been crying in here, you little fairy? Jack: Leave it alone, man. Bobby: [about Jack's guitar] Still making a lot of racket on the freakin' thing? Jack: Yeah, still making a lot of racket. Too weird in mom's room? Bobby: Oh, man, way too weird. [at Thanksgiving dinner, the brothers reminisce about Evelyn] Evelyn Mercer: [to Jeremiah] Zip up your mouth Jeremiah. Did you grow up in a barn? Jeremiah: [to Angel] Close your mouth, Angel. You think you a cow or somethin'? Evelyn Mercer: [to Angel] More tattoos Angel? [Angel pulls his sleeve down] Evelyn Mercer: It's okay, you don't have to hide them. Look at mine! Evelyn Mercer: [pulls sleeve back to reveal a rose, winks] But get your elbows off of the table. Evelyn Mercer: [to Jack] Jackie. I know bad things happened to you before you came here Jackie, hey look at me! [Jack looks at her] Evelyn Mercer: But you're safe now. Bobby: Now I gotta light your ass on fire! All I wanted was a name, but you're gonna make me turn your ass into the black gingerbread man now! It's alright, I'll have my little brother here suck your burning dick! Sofi: Do I recall something about having dinner together? Because I seem to remember spending *two hours* in the kitchen... Angel: Sofi, baby... Sofi: Angel! You promised that this time, things would be different. Bobby: Ay, mami. You're breaking mi corazon. Angel: It's a little heavy in here, I'm just gonna go outside and get a little air. Bobby: You're full of shit, man. You can smell that ass from down the street, huh? Angel: What are you talking about? Bobby: What do you mean, what? You know exactly what we talking about with La Vida Loca. Angel: Ain't nobody going to go get no La Vida Loca nothing! Jeremiah: She's got a boyfriend. Bobby: She's got a boyfriend, she's got hard dick in her right now. She screaming somebody else's name and the last thing she's doing is thinking about is your black ass. Sofi: Angel, why you let him talk to me like that? Bobby: Because I speak-a Spanish! Bobby: It's a real shame that little Jackie's the only down to ride. Say goodbye to your big sister, Jackie, let's go! Jack: [sing-song] She's addicted to what Angel's dick did... Angel: It's kinda hot in there, I'm just gonna go outside and get some air. Bobby: [laughing] You can smell that ass from down the street, huh? Angel: What are you talking about? Bobby: What do you mean "what" man, you know "what", man. Jeremiah: She's got a boyfriend. Bobby: She's got a boyfriend, she's got hard dick in her right now and she's screaming someone else's name and the last thing she's thinking about is your black ass. [All Laugh] Angel: Why are you guys comin' at me with this. I told you I'm not going to go see that girl, and I'm NOT! Angel: Heh Heh. They look like nipples! Bobby: Oh look - a little Jackie puppy. Angel: She's the only woman that ever gave a damn. The least we can do is go bang on a few doors and see what happens. We owe her that much. Jeremiah: So you're gonna shoot up the whole town cause y'all mad? Angel: Why not? Jeremiah: C'mon, man, the people who did this are probably from the same shitty-ass streets we're from. Mom would've been the first to forgive them, and y'all know that. Bobby: [after Jack is shot] Oh, come on - don't die on me, you little fairy. Bobby: [as Jeremiah exits the car] Want to take Cracker Jack with you?... He's flexible. Jack: Bobby, you're the one who took ballet. Bobby: I'll know they found my hair on a dead body when I hear the prison doors slam behind me. Bobby: Why don't you just tell me what you know, Angel? Angel: I know you need to stay your ass on that porcelain. This is gonna require a little finesse. And given your prior reputation as a hothead, you'll be the first one to fuck it up. Bobby: I wrote the fucking book on finesse! You just wait for me to wipe my ass, Angel. I'm coming with you. Angel!... Get me some fucking toilet paper, Jack! Evelyn Mercer: He's a good kid, he just... needs a big brother. Detective Fowler: If this woman's such a God-damned Saint, how did she end up raising four total fuck-ups? Lt. Green: Miss Evelyn cycled hundreds of kids out of the foster program and into permanent homes. In 30 years she only came across four lost causes. Four delinquents so far gone she couldn't find anyone to take them in. So she did. Trust me, Fowler, these kids are congressmen compared to what they would've been Bobby: Thank *God*? You killed my mother and my little brother you mother fucker! Thank Victor Sweet! [last lines] Evelyn Mercer: Always so good to have you back home, son. You gonna stick around a little while this time? Bobby: I'm thinkin' about it, Ma. I'm thinkin' about it. Evelyn Mercer: [chuckling] Oh, Bobby. Jeremiah: What's the plan, Bobby? Bobby: We're wingin' it, Jerry. Jeremiah: We're always wingin' it. Jack: We're gonna get killed. Angel: What'cha mean WE, white boy? Bobby: That wasn't no gang shooting. That was an execution. They set Mom up. They set her up. Bobby: [to a booing crowd at a basketball game] You tell me where I can find this guy and you can finish your game. Jeremiah: [pointing to Jack who's trying to get their attention] Cracker Jack. Bobby: I appreciate your help very much. You've all been outstanding citizens. Bobby: [to Damian as Damian is climbing out the window using a rope] I just wanted to talk! Bobby: If I find out you had something to do with what happened to Ma, I swear to God, Jerry, I'm gonna kill you here and now! Sofi: No, Bobby, no! Bobby: Now Angel's gonna ask you some questions, and brother, I shit you not, the time for lying is over! Angel: We know you lied about your business! And we know you got mixed up with some gangsters! Jeremiah: You all think I had something to do with mom getting killed? Angel: You got a check for four hundred thousand that you just so happened to forget to mention, for mom's life insurance! Jeremiah: She took out the policy for the girls, man, I ain't had nothing to do with that! Come on! Sofi: You made the payments! Bobby: Good timing, Jerry, just when it seems like all is lost for you, Ma gets shot by some gangsters and now you hit the fucking lottery? Jeremiah: So you're all tripping because I made insurance payments? I paid all her bills! And where the fuck were y'all? How many years did I have to take care of her my God-damned self? And you're going to tell me I killed her? Jeremiah: Where's Bobby? Bobby: Right here, Jerry! [Bobby punches him] Bobby: Are you gonna bury Sweet or are we? Angel: [entering the casino, looking for the killers] Goatee. Goatee. Look for the one with the goatee. Jack: [pointing to the killer] There he is. Bobby: Where? Jack: [pointing] Right there! The guy with the goatee! Bobby: [pulling Jack's hand down] I see him Jack. Put your hand down! Bobby: Get him, Jackie-O! Jack: [shoots at the car twice and misses] Bobby: You go, girl! Bobby: [after crashing into a parked car while chasing the killers] Aw! Wrecked the whole side of my fucking car! Jack: You gonna get these guys before you kill us? Bobby: Sit back and put your fucking seatbelt on, Jack. Bobby: Jack, you got your seatbelt on? Watch this. Hold on. [crashes into the killers' car] Bobby: We got a blowout. Jack: Bobby, let's just stop the car. Okay, Bobby, let's just stop. Bobby: Shut up, Jack. Gonna ride this out on the rim. Jack: [leaving, after threatening to set a group of teens on fire] Thank you very much, I hope you all have a lovely evening! Jack: [at funeral, giving eulogy] I never bothered looking for my real parents. Because Evelyn was enough. To go from foster house to foster house. Those people are just watching. Just looking for an extra... [inaudible speech as Fowler's line comes in]... You were hardly given anything to eat. You learn to take what you can get. When Evelyn took me in, it was no different for me. Until she caught me with my pockets all full. And she tried to explain to me what it meant to be adopted, and what it meant to have a family, what it meant to have a last name... And she would say: "Jackie... there's no reason to steal your own toothbrush anymore." 'Cause I would, I would, I would take it, and I would put it in my sock drawer... [Victor makes Evan eat off the floor] Victor Sweet: Eat, dog! Eat! Victor Sweet: He actually showed up. And they say there's no such thing as a free lunch. Angel: You said something, didn't you, Jerry? Jeremiah: I did not say nothing, man. Angel: Why you always - ? Bobby: I did. Jeremiah: What you say? Bobby: I told him I was banging his wife. Come on, man! Angel: I did too. Jeremiah: Me too. Bobby: [to Evander] Angel tells me you're one of Victor Sweet's boys now. Hear he's running shit like his uncle, treating you like a house nigger. Angel: [about Damien] Think he dead? Bobby: No, he ain't dead. He's just fucked up. Let's go talk to him now. Bobby: Forget that, Green. I used to make a good living around here because cops like you couldn't find tits in a strip joint. Angel: [after interrogation officer punches Angel] I did it, okay! Is that what you want to hear? I did it! Interrogation Officer: You did it, I wanna hear you say it! What did you do! Angel: I was bumpin' uglies with your wife! [Interrogation officer hits him again] Bobby: Lemme catch you on the street without that badge! I'll smack that smirk right off your face, you punk! Bobby: [seeing Jack pissing on the floor] Look, look at your little brother. Jeremiah: Jack! Jack: Oh I'm sorry, is this the master suite? [Angel, Bobby, and Jerimiah laugh] Jack: Am I making the property value go down? Lt. Green: [about Bobby Mercer] It's been a long time since anybody's seen that face around here. Detective Fowler: Must've gotten off for good behavior. Lt. Green: Not likely. That's Bobby Mercer. Heavyweight champion fuck-up of the family. And that's a well defended title. Would've made his daddy proud, if he'd ever had one. I used to know him a little. Played hockey with the boy. Got thrown outta 60 odd games before the league had finally had enough of him. They called him the Michigan Mauler. Detective Fowler: Who's the kid? Lt. Green: [chuckles] Oh, that's Jack. He's the youngest. First class fuck-up, third class rock star. Detective Fowler: He doesn't look like trouble. Lt. Green: He's a Mercer. Don't let him fool you. Bobby: [puts his arm around Jack's shoulder] You okay, man? Jack: [puts his head down and nods] Bobby: You sure? Jack: [nods again, keeping his head down] Bobby: I love you, man. Jack: [looks up] Jack: Come on let's go see, Jerry. Bobby: [to Jack] Turn around, dick lips! What the fuck are you looking at? Bobby: They say dead men tell no tales, but they sure leave important shit lying around. Bobby: You got a gun? Angel: I flew in. Bobby: [hands him a gun] Be careful with my baby. Angel: Ooh... Bobby: You like that? Angel: You got ammo? Bobby: Yeah, it's loaded, little brother. Be careful. [to Jack] Bobby: Here, you carry the gas can. Jack: We're gonna do that gas thing? Bobby: [mocking him] Yeah, we're gonna do the gas thing. The only thing that scares people more than getting burnt to death is getting eaten alive. Let's go. Bobby: [starts to close the trunk] Jack: Wait, what do I get? Bobby: you coming with us? oh [Bobby hands him a crowbar] Bobby: Here you go, sweetheart, poke 'em with that. Jack: [insulted] Thanks. Jack: [in regards to Sofi honking the horn outside the lawyers house that the brothers broke into] Well, shut her up then! Victor Sweet: Evan, I said pistol Evan: Uhh, no bitch. |
