Crooklyn (1994)

Crooklyn is a heartfelt movie released in 1994, directed and co-written by Spike Lee. Set in the 1970s, it follows the turbulent lives of the Carmichael family living in Brooklyn. The film beautifully captures the essence of growing up through the eyes of the spirited and resilient Troy, played by Zelda Harris. With a stellar cast including Alfre Woodard, Delroy Lindo, and a young Isaiah Washington, the story delves into the challenges of urban life, family dynamics, and community spirit.

All the calcium in the world ain't gonna make up for this nasty taste.
All those little tiny braids and things. What y'all call that?
All y'all mad at me? Nah.
All you little peanuts at attention! Get up, boy! Now!
And a father nice enough to burn it.
And about me and my brothers havin' three different fathers?
And get along with everybody? I don't want to stay here.
And he's a ringleader. He makes these other kids that sit on the stoop do the same...

Aunt so... oh, shit, I knew she would.
Aunt song and Uncle clem asked if you'd like to come.

Before she comes in. I don't care. I hate this place anyway.
Before you go to sleep, you have to put away your clothes,
Besides, my dog could kill your little rat dog.

Drive safe, all right? Take care. Bye. Okay.
Eat the peas!
Eat those eggs! The food was prepared by your pops...

Every time I want some privacy to do my work.
Everybody has a little argument now and then.

Grandma, grandma, sick in bed.
Great God! Later, Vic.
Guess what? I cleaned the kitchen, and I made mommy breakfast.

Half for him, half for you.
Happy Birthday, Troy. Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday. The mailman just tapped on the window, and I got your letter.
He ate my cake! Mutley ate my cake!
He ate my cake! Mutley ate my cake!
He said, I'd rather have a father than a mother any day.
He should clean up his stinkin' house, man.
He told me to tell you he wants to take you out on a date.
He's in there with your mother.
He's the youngest.
Hell, no. N o spells no and you are not it.
Here comes the pitch. And it comes in wide.

Hot peas and butter! Come and get your supper!
How are you today? Fine.
How are you? I'm good.
How come I have to go? Do you want to have dinner tonight, Troy?
How come she didn't tell me? How come nobody told me?
How dare you accuse my son? He does no such thing. Yes, it's him...
How dare you go to your father to defy me, boy!
How dare you talk about my family like that? You should be shot.
How do you know it was us? You did it to your own stink house.
How do, miss coomish mimmish? How was your flight?
How many times have you been left back? You stupid ass dummy!
How many times you gonna sing that same old song?
How would it look if you left now?
How would you like to go down and spend a few weeks...
How you feelin', kid? All right, blood. All right. And you?
How's my big girl? Good.
Huh?
Huh? Do I go into your house and take things?
Huh? I'm talking to you.
Huh? You think you can come into my store and steal?
I ain't followin' you, Troy old boy.
I ain't no puta.
I ain't no puta. I keep my pyjamas clean.
I ain't no puta. I keep my pyjamas clean. [ Giggling ]
I ain't studying about Celeste. Woman's mean and evil.
I am going to make you a great big birthday cake.
I am gonna speak to your father about this.
I beg your pardon. I beg your pardon!
I broke my arm because I just got hurt.
I called no eggies first. Thumbs down. When?
I can cook and clean. I don't even care if nobody else helps me.
I can't believe you just turned ten!
I can't do chocolate. The last time I did, viola broke out in hives.
I can't do that any more, Troy.
I can't even enjoy my meal without that funky mcnasty faggot ruining my appetite.
I can't live like this no more.
I caught him throwin' this trash on my property.
I could've done that.
I didn't throw nothin'. You imaginin' things. Oh, okay, smarty pants.
I don't care either, and it ain't my dog; It's mama's dog.
I don't care. Gimme my tickets and I'll let you go.
I don't give a damn how many records rock 'n' roll sells. People know the difference...
I don't have any money.
I don't have to steal nothin' from you. I just forgot my money.
I don't know what it proves.
I don't know what you're doin'.
I don't know where she's run off to.
I don't know who topsy is, but it looks stupid, and I can't stand it.
I don't know. I'm teachin' summer school.
I don't live here now? I think I done paid enough, mr c.
I don't need you to fight my battles. Fool.
I don't wanna go. Troy, come on, come on.
I don't want to live any more without my baby.
I don't want to talk about your mistakes. You keep track of those. I don't have time.
I got enough shrapnel in my back, I'm afraid to get wet.
I got some fried chicken and potato salad in the kitchen right out there.
I got some news about your mother.
I got to work on my music now.
I got your food stamps!
I gotta go home. Thanks for the ice cream.
I hate doing... when you finish mashing peas into the floor, mop.
I hate funerals too.
I hate funerals. I'm not going.
I hate you! Idiot!
I hate your guts.
I have an order to shut off your electricity.
I hope we don't have to dress up for mommy's funeral.
I just want some white meat, daddy. And a little more potatoes.
I just want you to change the pattern. I don't need no lecture...
I keeps my pyjamas clean.
I knew he would make it in. That's number one right there.
I know aunt Maxine wants me to go and live with her.
I know exactly what happened. You're the one who's always throwin' garbage.
I know this is hard for you. It's hard for everybody.
I know, man. Shoot! I can't find 'em.
I like eatin' by candlelight. Kind of romantic.
I love you too, daddy.
I made money before. I'll make money again.
I made you some breakfast.
I mean, on the one hand, you come down here...
I miss you so very much.
I miss you.
I need to ask you somethin'.
I need y'all to get out, put up some posters for daddy.
I need you to support me in this, carolyn.
I need your help.
I never did nothin' to you. Get off of me!
I oughta whip your butt my damn self.
I own this mammy jammy house. I pay con ed for the electricity.
I pay, okay? [ Speaks Spanish ] I pay!
I plan to. I also started working on my folk opera.
I pray the lord my soul to keep.
I pray the lord my soul to take. Amen.
I promise.
I said I was sorry. You better be.
I said is the TV on!
I see you and your little friends throwing that garbage
I see. Thanks.
I smell your animals all in my house. You understand me?
I spent them funny lookin' nickels of yours also.
I still say y'all are rich. No, we aren't.
I think I done paid far too damn much.
I throwed you the only red one.
I told you bring your brother in the house now.
I told you so! Lucky shot.
I told you. I run a respectable roomin' house over here.
I trust you, but you have got to realize...
I want to talk to you. When you gonna pay the rent?
I want you to get yourself together. I'm gonna wait for you downstairs, okay?
I want you to go to the supermarket and get some things for dinner.
I will slap... I'll knock them teeth into tomorrow.
I will throw this idiot box out the window.
I wish I was stayin'.
I wrote the stupid thing. I think you can do two things at once: Make music and write.
I'd rather have a father than a mother any day. Yeah, any day.
I'll be downstairs.
I'll be goddamned if I should have to do anything when I come home from work...
I'll be over at Uncle browne's.
I'll get it.
I'll have your place shut down, man. Come on. Give it here.
I'll see you when you come back.

I'm don Cornelius and, as always in parting, we wish you love,
I'm done. You didn't eat nothin'.
I'm fine. Thank you, ladybug.
I'm flyin', and Snuffy and right hand man are chasin' me.
I'm glad I missed it. Troy, when was your birthday?
I'm glad Troy got her butt kicked. Should have kicked her myself.
I'm gonna go faster.
I'm gonna talk to aunt song. Woody.
I'm gonna tell your mother. Tell her.
I'm interested in putting food on the table and keepin' a roof over our kids' heads.
I'm just turning it down.
I'm not a slave! Nobody said you was.
I'm not hungry. All right, everybody, let's bow our heads.
I'm not playin'. Come here.
I'm proud of you, Troy.
I'm sorry about queenie. [ Sobbing ]
I'm sorry, Greg. You sorry why?
I'm sorry, Joseph, but I'm not mommy. Ow.
I'm the one used to pay for you and the children to go to bloomingdale's...
I'm the one you ought to feel sorry for. I have to go up there with all those boys.
I'm waitin'.
I'm watchin' this game.
I've got all night, Nate.
If I ever hear you callin' my kids names...
If I should die before I wake,
If it'll help pay con ed, yes.
If she goes, I go.
If that ain't support, I don't know what the hell... what is.
If that's what you want, that's what you get.
If the girl says she didn't get no hives, she didn't get no hives.
If the TV's not off, I'm whippin' everybody.
If you don't put it down, I'm gonna call your mother.
If you ever chastise your boys.
If you took my tickets, I'm gonna break your neck. Break it then.
In a few weeks. Will the lights be back on?
In a minute!
In this house.
Into my areaway and my backyard.
Is mama's baby gonna be nice to Troy?
Is some respect for my work...
Is that right? Ow!
Is the TV on?
It ain't about Walt Frazier!
It feels like an eternity.
It has become legendary.
It is not nasty. Everybody else likes it. They all crazy.
It means that your mother's gonna be in the hospital for a while.
It might have made up for your broke arm. Come on, mom.
It started with Clinton.
It wasn't my fault. I know it wasn't your fault, baby.
It won't be for long. How I'm supposed to cook without no lights?
It wouldn't be lookin' all like a sheep's behind.
It's 4:00. Get up. Get your butt in there.
It's a line drive to left field.
It's a training bra.
It's an inconvenience to everybody.
It's for later.
It's from my mommy. [ Song ] Oh, yeah!
It's gettin' late, y'all. Everybody have enough ice cream and cake?
It's gonna be fine. Come on. Don't be like that, baby.
It's good!
It's just a little sand cake.
It's not fair. I know it ain't fair, but it's gonna be all right.
It's not fair. I want to be her friend, but she doesn't like me.
It's not fair... you get in there and do what I told you to do!
It's not working. What do you mean?
It's okay if you don't like aunt song.
It's the chi lites. Yeah, I know. Chi nothin'.
Jade. [ Carolyn's voice ] Dear ladybug:
Jesus, master, where is my child? Queenie!
Joseph is not changing his vote.
Joseph, how can you live with this? Please change your vote.
Joseph, take your elbows off the table.
Just doin' my job. The bill is paid, gem. Okay, do what you gotta do.
Just don't leave me here. I hardly know these people.
Just keep doin' what you're doin', gem.
Just shut the hell up. That's a lie!
Just so you can be a pure musician playin' pure music?
Keep them inside where they belong. You killed my mother!
Kids in the delta would love to have that to eat,
Ladybug, we all miss you dreadfully.
Ladybug, you turned out pretty good considering you were raised in a house...
Let alone play in our backyard,
Let's get the rhythm of her head. Ding dong.
Let's get the rhythm of the feet.
Let's go. I'm not goin'.
Like that? Hmm?
Listen you little pickaninny. Get out of my store...
Listen, my mother hates polyester.
Look at that move. Somebody could get hurt.
Look at that! You hit air!
Look it...
Look, mama. Aunt carolyn sent me some also.
Look. Here are your new clothes.
Looka here. Don't she look good?
Looks like a church. Turn the lights on.
Lord, have mercy, child. You sure got one thick head of hair.
Lord, have mercy, honey. You can't wear these.
Lord, Troy, you don't know how happy we are to have you here with us.
Love, mommy.
Lucky rebound. He can't even dribble.
M my disability requires that I have my light.
M o o o o m!
Make lesson plans, try to keep our rowdy kids from killin' each other...
Man, what's your problem? You and that stinking house! [ Tony ] Prostitute!
Mashed potatoes! Fresh squeezed lemonade! String beans!
May I please be excused? No, you may not.
Maybe you could come stay with me sometime.
Minnie and Troy, get in the middle. Y'all can't jump big.
Mira, mommy. Ten cents.
Miss coomish mimmish, please don't make this any more difficult than it has to be.
Mm hmm. They're jade. Oh.
Mmm.
Mom, I'm full too. See? Your eyes are bigger than your stomach.
Mom... no.
Mommy sure had a lot of friends. I guess she did.
Mommy was in a lot of pain, wasn't she?
Mommy wouldn't scream and yell at you.
Mommy, Clinton called me red!
Mommy, Clinton called me red!
Mommy, don't leave me. Come on, Troy. Let's go inside, baby.
Mommy, I don't like it when you fight!
Mommy, I hate food stamps. Besides, we ain't even on welfare.
Mommy, I'm hungry. That's too bad.
Mommy, you work too hard. I can start helpin' you.
Mommy! Everyone's gonna laugh at me.
Mommy! Troy's eating a whole box of trix by herself.
Mommy's gone. Baby, you sick?
Mommy's not here, you silly, stupid rabbit.
Monday through Friday, cookin' breakfast, go to school,
More lemonade, please. There is no reason why your father and I...
Mother! Mother, stop it!
Move on! You all right? I got your food stamps!
Move out! You shut up! Mind your own business!
Mutley, everybody! I'm sick of this shit! I don't wanna get up, mommy.
My best friend, babe.
My brains? You ain't beatin' my brains outta my head.
My folk opera is about me growin' up in Alabama.
My mother'll hear you.
Nate. Come on, mutley.
Nate's upstairs with mommy, and Clinton's in his room.
Naturally beautiful. Radiant. She is black essence.
Never mind about that now. I do not believe what I just heard.
Next time, I'm gonna punch you in your face. Heifer!
Night night.
No fighting in front of the store! Get out of here, you little pickaninny.
No mas. Basta. Hey, son a bitcha!

She can scream all she want. I'm watchin' this game.
She just got to stay in there, and they gonna run some tests.
She looks like... she looks like a gorilla.
She teases me about school. She calls my mother names.
She thinks she's so cute.
She won't let me watch the game.
She would never let me wear anything like that.
She's just a little shy.
Shh shh shh shh! What they got to do is run some tests on your mother.
Shh! And do not wake your father! You're waking everybody up.
Shoot. I hate black eyed peas.
Should have to run around here cleaning up after you shiftless n****es.

That would be good. That would be great.
That's a bet. I'm tellin' mommy. ...To be a Western TV star.
That's a nice way of puttin' it, baby.
That's all right. I hate liver anyway.
That's all there is to it. Troy?
That's all. Maybe if you played other people's music...
That's disgusting. You better clean that mess up too.
That's good.
That's great. I think she's feeling better now.
That's just fine.
That's what I've always done. The problem is...
The board of health oughta shut you down.
The both of you can go back down South. Soul train on!
The cops came and took Vic away.
The kitchen is closed. You should've ate more than three peas.
The Knicks are world champs.
The Knicks got a job. You need an education.
The money I'm bringin' in is not makin' ends meet.
The night of the nba championships?
The odd finger is it.
The question is, how does one baby sit a Western type baby?
Then get outta here, and don't come back until you got some money, okay?
Then it's good she died.
There ain't no need to be afraid. Your mother's gonna be fine.
There they are: The possums!
These are from daddy.
