We are in Georgia.

And I'm about to cut that
sh*t down in the backyard.

my hand with a hook.

- It's sensitive.

- Well, what'd
you think, Grandpa?

held a tool in your life, boy.

Not even your p*nis.

- Why... why you gotta be
nasty all the time, man?

Everything is nasty with you.

What's wrong with you?

I have held tools.

- Oh, boy, I ain't talking
about that kind of tool.

- Stop.

Stop it.

- Look, I'm just saying, boy.

You don't know nothing
about power tools.

These is power tools.

These is tools that mens use.

The only thing you know
how to push is a pencil.

Look, back in the day, I
would've made a call...

One call... taken
his monkey a*s out.

He'd be swimming
with the fishes.

- Grandpa... why your granddaddy
think he's a gangster?

- Don't think I was a
gangster, I was a gangster.

The other one had two hands.

I was hard.

I was h*-o-ood.

And I can fix all this sh*t in
here myself... if it kills me.

- Yeah.

Hope that's sooner than later.

- VINNY: I heard that.

- Well, we know there ain't
nothing wrong with his hearing!

- VINNY: Nothing wrong
with my foot either!

- Oh!

- VINNY: It'll reach you
to kick you in your a*s.

- Okay, that's enough.

Grandpa Capone.

- Kicking somebody a*s?
- I don't know.

- What are we gonna do?

- Pray for a miracle.

- Yeah, well, I hope that
miracle is in Mr. Brown.

- That's a colorful miracle.

But we'll see.

Now, until then...
