Clockers Page #2

Synopsis: Strike is a young city drug pusher under the tutelage of drug-lord Rodney Little, who, when not playing with model trains or drinking Moo for his ulcer, just likes to chill with his brothers near the benches outside the project houses. When a night man at a fast-food restaurant is found with four bullets in his body, Strike's older brother turns himself in as the killer. Det. Rocco Klein doesn't buy the story, however, and sets out to find the truth, and it seems that all the fingers point toward Strike & Rodney.

To tell you the truth,

Hi, Lar.

motherfuckin' streets!

And I'm

One time I was studyin'

to be an accountant.

Now this sh*t is

f***in' my body up.

I have a goddamn

death sentence.

That's why I don't

give a sh*t about nobody.

And I don't wanna

see your ass no more!

'Cause you ain't

got no business

out here f***in'

with this sh*t.

You'll end up like me.

Or worse.

My old man was a preacher.

And when I started

messin' with this sh*t,

he said,

"You gonna pay for that.

"You gonna pay

for that sh*t, boy."

He was right.

You can't cheat

this sh*t no more.

Get the f*** outta here!

Why you wanna be
