"You Cannot Lose If You Do Not Play"

A guy drums on some overturned buckets on a sidewalk somewhere in the Projects, while up above, Kima, Carver, and Herc walk out onto a rooftop. Kima crouches down, stealing along the edge of the roof, only standing next to a chimney or something that's as tall as she is. Herc kind of ruins her whole stealthy thing by tripping and loudly cursing about it; Carver asks her where she's taking them. He totally ignores her body language, so she hisses at him to get down: "You all ain't got no creep to you!" We get a shot from her vantage point: she has a clear view of an open sort of public square (not the Pit; this one is paved), which, at what appears to be midday, is sparsely populated with people sitting around innocently enough. Herc loudly complains that a rusted nail went through his shoe, and that he'll need a tetanus shot. Kima's like, "Yeah, god forbid your jaw were to lock up on us." Kima shakes her head, peers down at the square, and tells Carver to hand him the bag he's holding. He does; she opens it as Carver asks, "If you don't mind me asking, when was it that you first figured you liked women better than men?" I kind of want her to say she was straight until the day she met Herc, but instead, she dryly replies, "I mind you asking."
