Romeo Must Die Page #4

the organization...

...waterfront real estate

seconds from the bridge.

God Himself couldn't have designed

a better spot for a stadium.

Yeah. That's right. You know me well.

If I say there's caviar on

the mountain, you bring the crackers.

I don't get it.

These are waterfront properties.

They must mean something.

My brother didn't want them found.

Yeah, but why?

Is this the place?

Yeah. Lt says 44 Driggs Road.

Is anybody here?

Get down! Get down!

You're Chinese.

No sh*t!

I can't hit a girl.

In America, if a girl's kicking your ass,

you do not have to be a gentleman.

Damn. Look at that!

- They a trip, ain't they?

- Yep.

Them little things pay the rent,

you know what l mean?

Yeah, no doubt.

Crabs in a barrel can't climb out,

and they don't want to stay in.

- guess they strange like that, huh?

Yeah.

Some brothers strange like that too.

As soon as one of us move up...

...a crab motherf***er like yourself

pulls us right back down.

But let me tell you something.

This place must seem like

a piece of sh*t to you...

...but that's still my piece of sh*t.

And I ain't selling it.

I got work to do.

Let's look at it another way.

You got two choices.

You either sign us over the deed...

...or l blow your head off

and leave it with these crabs.

Now, which is it?

- Yo, yo! Okay!

- can't hear you!

All right! 'll do it!

- What?

- said, I'll do it, man!

Go in, get me that deed.

Don't look at me.

I'll put your ass on the news.

What's the matter with you, man?

You crazy?

I can live with that.

- Hung!

- Kai.

How are you? Good to see you.

Good to see you.

Guess they don't care there's a war.

They don't care if the damn barge

is on fire.

This is a treat.

- What brings you downtown?

- You heard about Victor Ho?

Yeah.

We're looking forward to

some blowback.

That's why we're here.

We got a tip this place is gonna get hit.

You gotta be kidding me.

- When?

- Right now.

Get the money.

Thank you for attending this meeting...

...on such a short notice.

My dear brothers, when you expire...

...your territory will remain

within the collective.

Of course, since I alone survive...

...the collective is,

in actuality, only me.

You don't want to be in my path

when my feet are put to the coals, Ch'u.

Misery loves company.

Oh, young Mr. Roth,

you sound nervous.

May I suggest acupuncture?

I hope you have some good news for me.

There's no need for threats

or theatrics.

None of us want to drag this out

any longer than it already has.

Then close out your business

and get me those deeds.

Damn. Susie!

Could you get me Keyshawn Johnson,

please?

- Right away.

- Thank you.

Trish.

It's Papa, baby. Lt's me. Don't be scared.

Listen, Trish, l need you to come with me.

Why?

I'll tell you.

Just come on out front, okay?

I can't have you hanging with

Ch'u's boy.

- His name is Han, Daddy.

- Okay, then.

Stay away from Han.

Afraid I'll catch one of your

bullets?

It is too dangerous right now.

I'll take my chances.

Did you do it?

Did l do what?

Did you have his brother murdered?

Where did that come from?

I need to know.

- No, I didn't. L'm telling you, no.

- Be straightforward with me for once.

I did not.

Trisha, look at me.

I had nothing to do with it.

But one of them's gonna pay

for what happened to Colin.

Is that what you call being a businessman?

That's what I call protecting my family.

Look at me. Lookit.

You can't touch me!

Interception, baby!

Come on, man.

Running it back!

Look at that!

Go back to slow mo!

I'm coming for you.

I ain't gonna even look.

I'm just gonna play.

I can't see!

- Come on, now. Come on, now.

- Okay, okay, okay, look.

He could go...

...all the way!

Touchdown Jets.

How your mama doing?

Touchdown, baby!

Take it, take it, take it!

These nuts in your mouth.

I said, put the nuts in your mou...

Why y'all not working? Get to work!

Shiftless Negroes.

Toby! Go on!

Where's Mac, Maurice?

He's out back.

I want to talk to him.

Yes, sir.

You sure you don't want nothing?

No, I'm okay.

I'll be downstairs.

All right.

Hey.

I remember sitting in that chair...

...watching you fix your hair

for your first date.

You hooked me up with Dexter Benson.

My man Dex.

- really liked that boy.

- Please, Daddy.

He was so scared, he bit my lip

when he kissed me good night.

Wait a second.

You didn't kiss that boy

on your first date.

That's right, l did.

I guess l was trying

to get back at you.

You know, I hate to admit it...

...but l miss those times.

I can tell you

when l missed your ma the most.

At your graduations and your dates.

Trisha, l know l ain't never been able

to talk to you.

There's been a lot of things l wanted to say.

It don't ever come out right.

I know that.

Trisha.

I want you in my life.

There are...

...certain things...

Until l can prove these things...

...I want you to stay here with me.

- Dad, see-

- Listen to me.

People out there, they gonna try

to hurt me by hurting you.

Like they did your brother.

I'll be damned if l let them do that.

Who is it?

Mac. You got a phone call.

Not now, Mac.

It's Roth.

Isaak.

Today's a good day.

It's deed day.

- trust everything's in order.

Absolutely.

Tonight all my dreams come true.

I will see you at the club as planned.

I'll have your check.

Where do we stand with Silk?

We're hooking up at 8:00.

You watch out for him.

The boy's tricky.

Don't you let him get the upper hand.

I can handle Silk.

Are you out of your mind?

What are you doing here?

I missed you.

You miss me. L'm gonna miss you when

my father finds out you're here.

He's standing right outside the door.

What am I gonna do with you?

Jesus!

- Hey.

- Hey, Dad.

I gotta go take care of business.

You need anything, you just say the word.

I am fine, Dad.

I'm chilling.

You do what you gotta do, okay?

Jesus! Come on, you gotta go!

No, what do you?...

- You all right, Trish?

- 'm fine, Dad.

Listen, baby, you hungry?

They getting pizza.

Say the word, they'll bring it up.

I'm not hungry.

If I get hungry, l'll let them know.

I'll be back after a while.

- Okay.

- All right.

Trish!

Damn, this pizza good.

Trish!

Hey, baby girl, open up! got some

sausage and pepperoni pizza!

Open up the door.

Ain't no swine on it.

Mmm-mm.

Pizza make you want to slap your mama.

Trish.

Damn, never been up in here before.

They got Prince up on the wall.

You a freak too, ain't you, Trish?

Where you at?

I'm about to come around the corner.

Damn! Hey, get the car!

So where are we going?

Look.

All the places on this list

have been moved out or burned out.

Except this one.

This one.

I know this one.

My father and Mac talked about that.

It's Silk's casino.

Casino?

Let's gamble.

All right.

Han.

Now you're giving me some

B- Boy flavor.

- Hip-hop.

- Hip-hop?

Yeah.

All right.

I know hip-hop.

- Hey, what's up?
