The premise
Here’s the bit.
Parole officer Daniel Tate meets Clive "Double Down" Ruggins and, citing his years in juvenile corrections, makes him talk to Little Homie, a hand puppet Tate voices himself. The puppet mocks Clive's job hunt, urges him back into crime and pulls a gun to force a joint on him. Clive holds firm on the drugs, but when Little Homie appears to shoot Tate and leaves Clive holding the weapon, he goes along with it. Tate then sits up, announces that Clive has failed the test and revokes his parole, and officers lead Clive away while Tate and the puppet laugh about the prank.
