The Call

TRU: Yo, the first thing I’ma do is stop off at the crib so you can call the job and tell ‘em that we’re sick or stuck or something. Better yet, yo, have your girl call for us!

TARIQ: [*sigh*] Aight, then, I’ll see

TARIQ (NARRATION): Now, it’s off to Tru’s house to call my girl, Tammy. This definitely would not be the first time she bailed me out of a situation. She’s gonna wanna know why we both not going to work. I can’t tell her it’s my first day hustling. All I know is that I had to think of something, quick

[*sound of Tru watching TV*]

TARIQ: Ayo, Tru, where the phone at?

TRU: Ayo, it’s next to the bed

[*Tariq walks over to the phone*]

TARIQ: Aight, man, I’ma call. But this ain’t gon’ be easy

[*dial tone, Tariq dialing*]
