Jakwon (shakes his head as he sits on the couch): Quetip, that nigga, can get too far with his jokes.

Crawford: What do you mean? 

Jakwon: Jokes that can really offend some niggas, we got into it cause he was making fun of my sister, she autistic, I used to take her wherever I went, she in a home now where other autistic people stay, but my father wanted me to always keep an eye on her, and one day, 2 summers ago, I brought my sister to the store with me, and I saw Quetip there, we were cool at first, but I was telling him my sister's situation, and he go say "aye man why yo sister aint talkin?” I said cause she autistic, and he go ask me "do my sister get dick?" I said aye man, that's my sister yo, don't be dissing my sister like that man, she sick, she ain’t aware of what's going on, you know what I'm sayin? 

Crawford: yeah I know what you saying. 

Jakwon: So he apologized.

Crawford (nods): Okay.
