Adapted from real events, the time span is one day and one night, and all the trivialities of life are recorded before the end. So it's all the more puzzling when violence comes without warning or reason. When I went back and re-watched the title, I realized that it was the eyewitness's mobile phone video, and the recording method could be real.

Wanda: You guys got plans for the night?
Oscar Grant: Yeah, nothing major, though. Might meet up with the fellas, head out to the city.
Wanda: You guys going "out" out, or...
Oscar Grant: I think we're just gonna be low-key. Catch the fireworks, probably roll around a little bit after that.
Wanda: Roll around?
Oscar Grant: Yeah, it's gonna be cool, though. Chill. Plus, Phina gotta get up and go to work in the morning anyway.
Wanda: You guys gonna be drinking?
Oscar Grant: Mama, they gonna be drinking. I haven't had a drink since... I can't even remember.
Wanda: Mm. Why don't you take the train out there? That way you guys can drink and hang out and not have to worry about anything.
Oscar Grant: Nah, I feel like getting over there and getting back. Not waiting on no train.
Wanda: No traffic, either. You know? You know it's gonna be crazy, going and coming back.
Oscar Grant: Yeah, we might take it.
Wanda: Don't make me follow you guys to make sure. Remember prom?
Oscar Grant: Trying to forget.
