and put it on the plate,

and this vegan asks

at the end of the video,

"After everything

you just saw,

would you still eat

this chicken?"

And honestly, I said

"No, I couldn't do it."

'Cause they didn't put

any seasoning or anything.

- I said, "That's disgusting."

- [Esperance chuckles]

[speaking Haitian Creole]

- [in English] Pretty good?

- [in Haitian Creole]

I appreciate that.

Thank you.

Msi.

[speaking Haitian Creole]

Okay.

Well, how's everything

for you?

Business is booming.

When are you gonna come

to work at the dealership?

Nah, nah, nah, Unc.

You already know

that's not for me.

What's not for you? Money?

[Jimmy chuckles]

Tryin' to make you

a millionaire, man.

- You want a girlfriend, huh?

- [chuckles]

[chuckles]

Women like money.

You don't have to park the cars

if you can afford 'em.

Or you could just

let me hold yours.

No.

- You don't trust me?

- Keep being funny.

[speaking Haitian Creole]

[in English]

Oh, yeah?

Dad.

We can afford that?

[speaking Haitian Creole]

Okay. Wonderful.

Just sign in for me here,

You guys have a good one.

You are the one

Oh, no, no. [chuckles]

I'm just assisting.

The agent, she just

She just needs a hand.

Uh-huh.

But here's

How y'all say, "fwe"?

- Not "fwe," "fre."

- "Fre."

- Freche.

- "Freche ."

Where'd you learn that?

I ain't tell you my baby

mama's Haitian?

No, you never did.

She taught me a little

somethin' somethin'.

She crazy, though.

I'm not getting

involved in that, man.

So, you can buy a bracelet,

but you cannot get gloves?

[chuckles] Man.

G-sh*t, though?

This job is getting me

through a lot.

I was down bad.

Just gotta keep savin'.

Get my real estate license,

then I'll be good.

- On God, I'll be good.

- Oh, good!

Hey, Daniel!

Good morning, man!

What the f*ck is this?

Nah, nah.

[Jorge] God damn it, what're

- Hello?

- [man] Hello, ma'am,

I'm calling for the owner

of the house. Is he home?

No. He's not here,

but--

Do you have any idea

when he'll be home?

There's an exciting

opportunity to sell

your home at a high value

with relocation

assistance available.

Is it something you

might be interested in?

Who's this?

I'm calling on behalf

of River Development.

Like I said, there's

an exciting opportunity

to relocate

- and retain a high value

- Okay. Who said we selling?

Calling all the houses

in the area

to see who might be

interested.

Is that something you think

you would take advantage of?

I don't know.

You don't give me information.

Well, ma'am,

like I said,

it's an incredible

opportunity,

and you all should

definitely consider it.

We've already reached out

to a number of residents...

[speaking Haitian Creole]

No.

...and for the community

to build a better future

for the area.

We've already begun

a major redevelopment project

that involves

a multi-pronged approach--

[phone bleeps]

[fork clatters]

- Mm.

- Mm-hmm.

[door closes]

[in English] All right,

I'm about to head out.

No, it's okay. I gotta

rush out to make this anyway.

Bro, you know

You see where I'm at?

I got that thing on me

Oh, what're you talkin'

about? Them zoes out chea.

- Let's go, man.

- Shut your a*s up, bro.

We late, anyway, man.

[audience laughs]

[comedian #1] I used to work

in Wynwood seven years ago.

This was before

the G*ntrification

was finally...

You know, it was

like almost there.

We were like down

to the last 15 crackheads.

- You know what I mean?

- [audience laughs]

You knew these guys by name.

You like "Larry,

you got 40 days,

or Art Basel is comin',

Larry."

The doctor

was giving me sh*t.

I don't even f*ck' know

this lady.

[audience laughs]

But it's like she was--

she was like crazy overweight.

Like I'm overweight,

she's overweight,

and she's giving me sh*t

about my f*ck' blood analysis.

"Do you have a drinking problem?

Do you need to go to AA?"

It's like, "b*tch,

let me see your analysis.

You're f*ck' two cookies away

from getting your feet

chopped off.

- You f*ck' giving me sh*t."

- [audience laughs]

[comedian #3] It's been great,

though. I spent most of my 20s

moving around the US.

Hey. Hey, you have

five minutes, okay?

All right. Appreciate you,

thank you.

And I try to be present.

I try to take something

from every place that I'm in.

Like, for Miami, I took

a healthy fear

of entrepreneurs.

[audience laughs]

I don't know what they're up to

and it's none of my business.

- [audience laughs]

- Definitely not.

From Delaware,

I took a cold sore.

- From Minneapolis...

- [audience laughs]

- [comedian laughs]

- [audience cheers and applauds]

[host] Clap it up one more

time for all the comedians

you saw here tonight.

Come on, clap it up.

They k*lled it,

k*lled it, k*lled it!

m*rder*d it!

Brought the house down, yes!

And we saved

the best for last.

Now, your closing comedian

is one of my favorites.

You guys are gonna love him.

Y'all ready?

Yeah?

Start clapping, start clapping.

Give up for Junior Lamont!

[cheers and applause]

Thank you, thank you.

Appreciate you,

appreciate you.

Give it up for your host,

everybody.

Make some noise for Brittany,

everybody.

[audience cheers and applauds]

Thank you, thank you.

My name is Xavier.

My friends call me Junior.

My parents call me a failure.

[audience laughs]

Either one works.

Either one works.

I got Haitian parents, man.

It's tough.

It's tough having

immigrant parents,

'cause they tell the truth.

They tell the truth.

They're not

like American parents.

Like when I was young, I used

to play organized sports,

and American parents,

they were so nice

to their kids.

It didn't matter

how bad they were.

They'll be in the crowd,

"Go, Eddie! Go!"

"We love you!

We support you!"

[audience laughs]

My dad would be in the crowd

like, "Junior!

- You no good, man."

- [audience laughs]

"This is not your thing.

You have to go back home,

please."

Terrible, man.

Now I'm living

with my parents.

Anybody live

with their parents?

Make some noise.

All right.

f*ck y'all too, then.

[audience laughs]

It's tough, man.

You know the toughest part

about living with your parents

as an adult?

It's the lack of sex life,

man. It's crazy.

Everything about sex

is different, too.

I can't even sext the same.

[audience laughs]

'Cause girls, they try

to text me sexy sh*t.

They be like,

"Are you gonna choke me?"

I'm like, "Yeah,

if you get too loud."

[audience laughs]

They'd be like, "You trying

to hit me from the back?"

I'm like, "No,

I'm trying to sneak you

through the back door,

that's what we doing

right there."

- This is my mama's house.

- [audience laughs]

Dropped outta college.

Dropped outta college.

Dropping outta college

is hard,

especially when you

gotta tell your parents.

'Cause when I dropped

outta college, it was like...

it was almost like I was

coming out of the closet.

It was weird.

I told my parents I wasn't

going to school anymore.

They were like,

"Who told you about that?"

[audience laughs]

But it's crazy

when you tell your parents

the truth like that.

You know what I mean?

They're hypocrites.

Immigrant parents,

they're hypocrites.

But it's funny

when you can catch it,

you know what I mean?

I caught it.

'Cause I told my parents,

I remember I was like,

"I'm dropping outta school,

so I can follow my dreams."

And my mom was like, "Dreams?

Why you listening

to your dreams?

You're sleeping!"

[audience laughs]

"You don't know anything

when you sleep!"

I said, "All right, you right."

A couple days passed,

I was like,

"Mom, I'm going out

with Farrell.

We about to go get some drinks."

She was like,

"No, you can't go.

I had a dream."

[audience laughs and applauds]

Nature is life.

"Nature is life"

or "Nature be tripping."

So they bit his whole finger

off and he was like so casual.

"Oh, they took

my f*ck' finger."

[group laughs]

I guess he has nine

other ones. He's fine.

Yeah, no, no, no.

No, you ever see

the monkeys, bro?

Monkey come out of nowhere

and just scalped

this little kid.

It was disgusting, okay?

It's the worst thing

I ever seen in my life, okay?

Where are the parents?

[girl] The parents

are taking the video.

[Farrell] This website

has nothing but crazy in it.

That's the one

you sent me, right?

- Yes!

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nature is life.

Something like that.

"Nature be tripping,"

or something like that?

- Yeah.

- Y'all gotta follow.

For real.

'Cause you about

to roll it up, cuz!

[mellow music playing]

Sorry, I'm gonna interrupt.

Your set was so good.

Oh, appreciate you.

This is my cousin, Farrell.

He wasn't on the show,

but he rolls weed.

- That's why I bring him.

- Yeah, but it smells good!

[group laughs

and talks over each other]

- You guys tryna smoke?

Let's do it.

- Yeah, for sure!

[speaks indistinctly]

I'm trying to roll it up!

[Junior] You ain't gotta

lick it no more. It's stuck!

- Malcolm X would be

ashamed of your a*s.

- No, he wouldn't.

[Junior] What you mean?

[Farrell] I dunno

what Junior talkin' about.

- You got a boyfriend?

- Yeah, she probably do.

- So you lying?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- She gotta go home

and be faithful.

- [Farrell] f*ck all that.

- Where y'all going tonight?

- [laughing]

Chill, we gotta go.

Yeah, we work tomorrow.

- Excuse me. Excuse me.

- [girl] Thank you.

I was just wondering

if I could have your number?

- What is Junior doing?

- Mm, no.

[Farrell] Look at Junior.

[Farrell laughs]

Woo!

I tried, man.

At least I tried.

You'd be scared.

- You crazy. Hey, hey!

- Hold on bro, it's all good.

Sexy thick!

Bro, finish the blunt, man!

We're trying to smoke!

- I'm trying to-- come on!

- Hey, we apologize.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it.

Five more minutes!

Listen, you was funny

tonight, but right here,

I feel like you could've did

a little more.

Wait, hold up.

Which joke is this?

Hold on.

- That one.

- Okay, okay.

Yeah, like you could've grabbed

the attention of the crowd

a little more.

I mean, it's a small stage,

so I can't really move a lot.

You talking about

with hand movements and sh*t?

Yeah! And then even when you

was talking about the dream,

you kept saying "immigrant."

- You feel me?

- What's wrong with that?

Say "zoes"!

"Z's" or somethin'.

You feel me? "Haitians."

I know, but I didn't wanna

alienate the audience.

You feel me?

What's that have to do

with anything?

Listen, if it was a Cuban there,

he would've said something

about medianoche sandwiches,

you feel me?

He would've showed you

about the culture.

You say nothing about us.

I feel you, I feel you.

I'm gonna write

something for that.

[talking over each other]

- Yo, get out my way, man!

- What's wrong with you, bro?

What's... n*gga.

Get your a*s over here,

n*gga.

What you doing, bro?

- [Farrell] What's up, man?

- Man, come on, man.

I'm not trying to...

Stop it, bro. I'm not...

What? Come on, man.

What's up?

Come on, man.

[Farrell laughs]

[Junior] Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

I don't know this n*gga!

Bro, I know you are not

snorin', bro.

Get your a*s up, man.

Wake up.

[sighs] All right, man.

I'll see you, bro.

Hey, man. You coming

to the function

this Saturday, right?

Function. Wait,

that's this weekend?

Yes, bro.

Come on, bro. Don't nobody

want to go to no baptism, man.

It's not a baptism, bro,

she's seven,

it's a communion.

Bro, whatever, man.

You better be there!

Whatever, bro.

I tried, but they're

pressuring me,

and I can use

the extra money, anyway.

Extra money for what?

[laughs, then in English]

"Grown man"?

Junior, you know nothing

about being a grown man!

My God, Dad. This is

not your life, okay?

This is my life!

[speaking Haitian Creole]

Why can't you just focus

on the stuff that I am doing,

instead of being so fixated

on the stuff that I'm not?

Okay, I have a job.

I'm staying out of trouble.

- I'm doing what I love.

These type of things,

they take time, okay?

Chino,

I need you and Xavier

prepping a new site

in Little River tomorrow.

Daniel, you're good.

I'll call you

over the weekend

if we get something

for next week.

Boss. Boss.

Daniel?

Are you sure?

He needs the day.

We don't need him.

Hey.

This is his only job.

This isn't a charity.

We can't afford to have him.

The man works hard.

He deserves to work.

I don't need three

people tomorrow, period.

So send Chino home!

What's going on

with you, man?

You're harder on Daniel

than you are on Chino!

And you know

he's a better worker.

Xavier...

we've been working

together for years,

and I respect--

Is this about the smell,

or what?

What?

The smell.

"La peste."

Okay. Okay.

Daniel's gonna come.

And you take the day.

Go home, get some rest.

Come back next week.

Fresh.

[girl] So I was thinking

of going to Whole Foods,

you know?

Like pick up a ros,

or something.

Amanda invited us to this

dinner party, I think it was.

Like, a lot of people

are gonna be there.

I feel like we should

show face.

Yeah, it'll be f--

Really?

You hang out with them

all the time.

You could at least give me

like this one night to show...

She said it started at 8:00,

so I was thinking

I'll come home,

shower, and like, change

and then maybe

you could like swing by,

and we can go together?

Are you serious?

We'll get some wine.

It'll be...

It'll be no problem.

We can stay

for, like, 30 minutes.

Gentlemen, gather round!

Come on.

Double step, guys.

We're on a tight crunch.

All right, guys.

Good morning,

first and foremost.

This should only take us

a couple days,

but we gotta be precise,

we gotta be efficient,

we gotta be quick,

we're on a time crunch.

We gotta be ready

to jump across the street

as soon as that permit

comes through.

Chino, I want you on hose.

Please keep

the dust down, guys.

We got folks

just eight feet

away from us.

[muffled] Xavier, Daniel.

I want you guys

on the east side perimeter.

Please keep any
