Mookie screams: "nooooooo"
Camera cuts to Officer Ponte in the car driving away
Dispatch comes through "a fire at Sals Pizzeria, calling first available unit"
The officers look at each other knowingly
Cop car turns around, signature Spike Lee floating shot, but done in a vehicle and dual screen
Officer Long goes to open the fire hose
It's jammed
The kids from earlier show up to help him
Officer Ponte runs into the pizzeria
Smiley stutters: m-m-mu-mu-murderer Officer Ponte: I'm trying to help you
Italian pictures start falling off the wall, slow pan on them catch flames
Sal yells from the street: HURRY!
Ponte grabs Smiley and runs for the door but it's jammed. They pick up the trash can Mookie threw together and hurl it into the door, it opens and they collapse on the street
The Mayor extends a hand to help up Ponte: Come here Doc
Ponte looks up
Mayor: Doctor, always do the right thing
Officer Long runs over out of breath: is that it?
Mookie looking at the flames whispers to himself: that's it
Vito: I got it
Pino: I'm gone

27. "lol i rarely tweet" In response to Reply # 26
i don't even think i have 100 followers so i'll maybe get like 1 like every 3 tweets and a rt every 20 lol, so by comparison my twitter is waay more dead than this place.
i don't have the energy to put work into twitter, plus too many people are shitty to each other there, so if i spend too much time on it it makes me want to be a dick too haha

14. "What movie did you think was better" In response to Reply # 12
There is no wrong answer.
Jungle Fever X School Daze Clockers are all great movies imo.
Nothing tops DTRT tho.
Prolly one of my favorite movies ever.

The cast, subtle brilliance and acting of 25th hour, the acting of HE got game, the authenticity and camera work of Malcolm X, The coolness and expressionism of Mo Betta,
25th Hour He got game Malcolm X Mo Betta She’s gotta have it
So you see why by the poster saying “easily his best” is such a huge disregard... Spike got some absolute Gems, just brilliant work.
And my personal list is overlooking movies like Clockers, Crooklyn, Blackklansman ,Inside Man, etc.
Spike is so underrated, even by his own culture, is mind numbing. Dude if you were to put Woody Allen’s name on 25th hour or Martin Scorsesce on Inside Man...it would be nothing but high praise.

19. "I’m a huge Spike fan and would never see that as disrespect" In response to Reply # 16
but that’s just because I think DTRT is one of the best films to ever be made.
I love that movie.
