So I'm checkin' out the fire extinguishers,

and it goes off in my hands.

They put the coke in the holes, you

know? So the evidence gets destroyed.

I nearly froze my f***in' balls off.

So you gonna pull a fire extinguisher

out of his ass?

I'll plant one there if I have to,...

have to dick around in the car all the time.

You wanna f***in' die? Spit it out!

Spit it out!

Face the wall. Down on your knees.

On your knees!

Spit it out! Spit it out!

My partner doesn't f***in' care if you

die either. F***in' stand up. Stand up!

Keep your hands behind your head.

Get down!

(chokes)

Your homeboy is gonna f***in' die, OK?

He's gonna start turnin' blue and dyin'.
