So you a leader or a follower?
[Tre]
I'm a leader.
[Furious]
Okay, then. What's the three rules?
Break it down for me. And, hey
think before you answer.
[Tre]
I got it!
Always look a person in the eye. Do that, they respect you better.
Two was to never be afraid to ask you for anything.
Stealing isn't necessary.
And the last one, I think, was...
To never respect anybody who doesn't respect you back.
That right?
[Furious]
Yeah. Yeah, you got it.
What do you know about sex?
[Tre]
I know a little bit.
[Furious]
Oh, yeah? What little bit is that?
[Tre]
I know, I take a girl
Stick my thing in her
And nine months later a baby comes out.
[Furious]
You think that's it?
[Tre]
Basically, yeah.
[Furious]
Well, remember this:
Anyone fool with a dick can make a baby,
But only a real man can raise his children.
I wasn't but 17 when your mother was pregnant with you.
All of my friends was dropping out of high school
hanging out in front of liquor stores,
getting drunk, getting high.
Some of them was robbing people.
Some of them was even killing people.
Hey, you remember my friend Marcus?
He got into robbing people, wanted me to join him
But I said, "No, I'm getting ready to have a son."
I knew you'd be a boy.
I wanted to be somebody you could look up to.
So I guess that's why I went to Vietnam.
Don't ever go in the Army, Tre.
Black man ain't got no place in the Army.
