-Right.

-Hell, yeah. They already think you a snitch.

-Yes!

They'll think you a snitch and a liar.

Stick to the plan.

The ticket is fake, okay?

Back up, little mama.

Better move your hair-cutting ass back.

-No problem, bro.

-And that go for everybody else out here.

Y'all better start showing this man

some respect...

...and quit running around

acting like wild-ass animals.

Thank you.

Hell, yeah.

Hey, Kev, anything you want, man.
