Calvin it came from some kid named Tony tell her what he gave you the money for well for handing a package to him for his friend Ron tell her how much he gave you to do that well he 50 bucks for standing on the corner like a
Dummy and handing a package to another dummy now don’t you feel better since you got that off your chest of course you do drugs that’s what it was Grandma we don’t know that for sure what did you think was in that little ,000 package a Twinkie are you telling me that Ron is
Selling drugs he sure is Calvin you were helping him no I was just doing him a favor I didn’t know what was in the package you mean you didn’t want to know what was in the package but when I saw the money I brought it right to you
Didn’t I well that’s the only smart thing you’ve done today I guess I just didn’t want to believe that Ron was dealing well that certainly explains all that money well what do we do now well the first thing we ought to do is make sure his folks know about this what
About the money turn your head we put in a safe [Laughter] place nobody ever looks in there [Applause] anymore I’m Mrs Jenkins Miss Davis yes come in please have a seat thank you you say this has something to do with my son yes is your daughter pregnant no good um look I’m
Not here about my daughter I came to talk about your son what about my son well for starters he’s giving out expensive gifts I can’t allow my daughter to keep this do you have a rich uncle in your family Rich Uncle oh sure and I just other people’s houses for the
Fun of it then I don’t know how to tell you this but well I think Ron is dealing drugs woman are you crazy my son isn’t selling drugs I rais All My Children right I know it’s hard to believe it and I don’t believe it not Ronald then how
Do you explain all this money he’s throwing around he’s got a job honey he would have to have seven jobs to pay for that expensive car he’s driving oh shoot is that what this is all about that that car belongs to his friend Calvin he’s just keeping it while Calvin’s traveling in
Europe Calvin in Europe honey the furthest Calvin has ever been is Baltimore and that’s cuz he fell asleep on the bus now you calling my son a liar now wait I don’t want to fight with you I’m a mother too and it’s obvious to me that
You don’t know what’s going on no you don’t know what’s going on there’s a drug meeting at the old church on UST Street tonight and we’re all going I think you should be there and I think that you should mind your own business when your son starts selling drugs in
Front of my building and using our kids to do it it is my business you rich ladies think you have the right to just button anybody’s business Rich ladies well look at you you either rich or going to a funeral or if I’m going to a funeral
Maybe it’s yours because you sure are bearing your head well I can’t believe it that nice boy standing out in front of our building selling drugs but Ron’s cool it’s got to be a mistake it’s not a mistake Tiffany has Calvin mom you can’t be sure Calvin never even looked in the
Package for which he got $1,000 grow up Brenda I still think you shouldn’t have called the police I mean you don’t have proof Calvin’s wrong half the time and confus the other half Tiffany this is serious and you are being very flip about it you too Brenda mom everybody knows about drug dealers
They’re all over the school yeah well I better not ever catch you near one mom you know me better than that they have their group and we have ours yeah this is kid my algebra class everybody knows he deals he’s kind of cute too Tiffany we don’t have anything to do
With him I mean they just do their thing and we just look the other way Mom what do you want us to do we can’t go around telling on them I mean you just don’t do that Brenda we’re not talking about little kids and tattling we’re talking about responsibility and life and death
Sandra what happened Mary why did you tell me the Polar Bear Club was where people jump into the ocean when it’s a th000 degrees below zero they’re crazy then you should have felt right at home it’s not funny Mary I came that close to being a popsicle sprain my ankle you sprained

Me my name is Alice and I’m an addict I used to steal from my parents for just one more hit off that pipe I broke up our home destroyed their marriage I mean I lost everything I joined the program about a year ago if I hadn’t I wouldn’t be alive today
We’re glad you are here here well I guess you can tell there’s a war going on here and if we’re going to win it we have to start with the kids I’m listening I’m listening too we’re not just talking about listening we’re talking about doing something we know
You know this is a terrible thing to say but nowadays we have to be careful who our friends are one thing is to not pick your friends by the kind of car they drive or to go AP with when they buy you tennis shoes sit down how about
Accepting a gold chain from a guy you hardly know or being a dope delivering dope for a dope okay Grandma I made a mistake didn’t you ever make mistakes no oh well if I did I’m too old to remember sorry I was late I went to the
Wrong Church they had a wedding so I stayed for the cake listen everybody what we need to do is put the spotlight on these pushers that’s right you know either they don’t know or they don’t care what they’re doing to people and it’s getting so I’m getting afraid to send Tiffany to school
I’m not afraid of them well I am I tell you another thing drugs and men don’t mix I just say no to men or drugs to drugs I tried saying no to men but I can’t kick that habit well if I catch any of those pushes around our place it’s over for
Them well I got a baseball bat that would give them a downer they will never forget the sad truth is if it weren’t for customers there would be no pushers that’s right now how do we get the public to believe how bad this is I believe
It I just found out that my son Ronald was dealing drugs that mess was in my house I just refus to see it you even had my 10-year-old they live in for and near as the police can tell my son Ronald was dealing with a junky T night who probably didn’t have enough
Money so they figure he just took the drugs after he stabbed my son to death oh I I got three other kids at home I have to worry about and I don’t know what to do please tell me what to do there no place like home with your
Family around you you’re never alone when you know that you’re love you don’t need to wrong cuz there’s no place like home times are changing every day we won’t get by with those same old way pulling together we’ll make it right with help from our friends we can no place like

Looking for a job well he’d like to have his own spending money and the responsibility means a lot to him he if he can get a job you know it’s hard for teenagers to get any work and it’s even tougher for black teenagers yeah that’s
A shame it sure is seems like we should know somebody who could help Calvin somebody who’s respected and well-liked at his job or somebody who’s married to somebody who’s respectful and liked on his own job somebody who could persuade that that respected and well-liked person to ask if there’s anything available at his
Construction job I think you hear my phone now Mary Mary Mary now certainly you can ask Lester if he can see if there’s anything available for Calvin I’d really appreciate it Mary well I don’t think Calvin would like construction you know it’s a dirty job if it’s a j o job Calvin is
Interesting but what I mean is I don’t think the job is right for someone of Calvin’s talents uh did he try the wreer shop uh-huh what about the chicken place uh-huh new stand Uhhm it’s a shame the kid can’t find a job so you’ll speak to Lester well I guess I could oh great I’m not promising anything oh well thank you Mary I’d appreciate anything ler can do oh Mary that was real sweet of you well Pearl’s right the job would be good
For Calvin and and for me oh how’s that the more time he spends on the job the less time he spends around Brendon oh you are mared man you know you like that boy of course I do wonder if Lester could find him a part-time job overseas will you ladies Sandra what happened

Demanding hi Mom hi Mrs Shay hi baby hi Daddy how was your day today Calvin says it was great but I want to hear it from you she wants to hear it from you uh Brenda suer why don’t you just sit down over there um Brenda Pearl I imagine you’re
Not too familiar with the construction business I understand it’s very demand anding that’s right and it’s for that reason that we’ve got to fire Calvin before you say anything Calvin is very sweet and we like him a lot but it just didn’t work out Lester has a responsibility to the people he
Works for and they say Calvin has to go you do understand they don’t understand oh I understand all right I’ve seen some people do some low down things but this is the low downest of the low down well try to see it from my point of
View Calvin’s just not cut out for the construction business but Daddy you can’t do this to him you can’t do this to me Renda your father did everything he could the supervisor made the decision and that’s that well then I’m not speaking to either one of you two again me
