Snitch Page #3

just this would,

see, his could be seen

as conspiracy, all right?

And that gets me 25... To life.

I would...

I'd appreciate it if maybe we just pretend

that this never happened, okay?

I'll see you at work, sir.

I just need an introduction.

I think you oughta go home,

and you oughta be happy for what you got.

Thank you for the coffee.

Daniel!

Twenty grand.

I'll double it because of

the risk you're taking.

So right there? That's where you're staying?

Right up there.

Anthony. Anthony.

Why don't you go inside? Go on. Go inside.

Come on, Dad. I'm just hanging.

Go. Now.

Go. Go on.

Why you checkin' on peewee for?

Hold up, man. Hold...

Hold, hold, hold up.

I don't care if y'all sling what you sling.

Y'all smoke what you smoke.

You can blow holes in each

other if that's what you want,

but I'm gonna tell you right now,

you're gonna stay away from my son,

- you hear me? You hear me?

- All right. All right.

What are you, stupid, Flaco?

This guy's a shot caller

from the east side, ese.

Hey.

Dad, why did you...

Anthony. Go play your game.

All right, what happened?

Nothing happened, V.

Just father and son stuff.

What are you doing?

Going to work.

What do you mean, work?

Larry called, told me

I have to be there in an hour.

Come on, V, he can't do that.

He can't just call you 7:30 at night

- and tell you to come to work.

- He can do whatever he wants, Daniel.

That is, if I want to keep my job.

Look, I'm already late.

There's food for both of you on the stove.

What are you doing, babe?

Listen, wait, wait, wait.

Let me ask you something.

Let me run something by you.

What if me and my little partner over there,

before bed time, we cruise to the office?

We charm your guests. Fatten up them tips.

Make it work for everybody,

you know what I'm saying?

I'd like that.

Yeah?

Okay, I have to go.

Don't go to work. Don't go to work.

- I love you.

- I love you. I love you.

Hey, A, get on the couch, man.

Sit down, bud.

Why did we move here, man?

We moved so you wouldn't have to

hang out with fools like that.

That's why. Right?

There ain't nobody else

to hang with around here.

I want to go back to our old apartment.

You know we can't, so don't say it.

Look, man. I know it's hard.

And sometimes life is.

But I promise you, one day,

we're gonna move somewhere,

and you're gonna get real friends.

A real friend.

You ain't gotta prove nothing to him.

You ain't gotta do nothing for him.

But those punks out there,

man, you're better than that.

Want me to tell you something else?

You better than me, man.

You're so much better than me.

- Hey.

- Yeah.

What's a shot caller?

Where'd you hear that?

Don't worry about that.

I love you, man. And I'm proud of you.

You need to be smart.

Go get your homework, man.

We're gonna bang it out.

Just keep going, man.

All the way to the end. Don't stop.

- Right here?

- You're good.

I need to go on alone first.

This guy in here, Malik.

If he sniffs you even a little bit full of sh*t,

I'm gonna tell you right now, man,

you're never gonna leave this block.

That's a promise.

All right.

What up, Cruizer?

What up, Malik?

Been a while since I seen yo ass.

What house you was in last?

I was up at Sandstone, man.

That's right.

It was cold as hell up there, wasn't it, cuz?

That's the truth, man.

Boy, me and oI' boy right here,

we used to get it in.

Movin' product like we was

the United Nations and sh*t.

'Cause you know when it comes

to that paper...

Only color that matters is green.

So how long you been home, man?

You just now come to see me?

Come on, Malik.

You know I can't be associating

with no known-ass criminals now.

I hear you. That's why I be in here.

Two strikers like us, man,

we can't walk the street.

No, man.

It ain't safe.

So I'm saying though,

you back in the game, right?

How come you ain't cross town

with your homeys?

Just can't have any of the old homeys

getting any bright ideas, man.

I'm telling you, them days,

they over for me, Malik. That's it.

Right here is a one timer.

Real smart, cuz. Real smart.

Keep that bank to yourself.

Yo, homey, kill the beat.

I'm John Matthews.

Now, see, that's the reaction

I was looking for, playa.

Ain't never had no iron

in your grill before, huh?

Now see,

if you was the popo, then you'd be

the biggest p*ssy pig I ever seen.

Now let's have an honest conversation

as to why you in my crib.

I don't have product or distribution.

But I do know business.

If anyone needed transportation,

I could provide that with no risk.

There's always risk.

My way minimizes it.

See, what I want to know is

why a successful businessman like yourself

want to take any risk at all.

I'm in the construction business.

The way the economy is today,

it's all gone to sh*t.

And I don't see any chance

of it coming back.

And I'm willing to do whatever it takes

to keep my business afloat.

I've worked too hard for too long.

So how much weight can you move?

My trucks, half a ton

without attracting attention.

Half a ton?

Man, if I was

in the thousand-pound business,

I wouldn't be sitting in this dump right now.

AII I'm saying is,

whatever you want to move,

it won't matter in my trucks.

You know they weigh them trucks

at the state lines though, right?

How you gonna cover that?

We offset the weight.

Count's off all the time.

The police get lucky,

they'll only get the driver.

We won't be there

for the loading or unloading.

Sound like he ready for the game.

So what you talking, playa?

15% wholesale.

I don't give nobody over 10%.

I know I got something to prove to you.

If the first run goes good,

then we renegotiate.

You gonna drive the first load.

Everybody know what game Malik in.

We need to see if you for real first.

Then maybe,

just maybe, we go back to talking.

Done.

Go and chill outside for a minute.

Let me and my boy Cruizer here

have a word.

You gonna ride shotgun.

No, no, no, no, Malik.

Maybe you misunderstood

- why I'm here.

- Misunderstood?

Yeah, maybe you misunderstood.

I'm here for an introduction, Malik.

Hell no, Cruizer.

See you wouldn't be vouching for no fish

if we was back in the yard.

You know how this work.

We ain't talking no hold time, homey.

We in the street!

That's three strikes, bruh.

And the third strike for me

is the third strike for you, my man.

So you better be convincing me

right now, or he's smoke.

And we can act like

none of this never happened.

It's your call, man.

For this first round,

I'm gonna be going with you.

But we do it my way. I say how it goes.

- What do you mean?

- I wanna get paid today. Okay?

So I don't know if we have to

go see your banker.

I don't care, man, go rob a store.

But I need to get paid.

Don't worry. You'll get your 10 grand.

No 10 grand, man. We said 20 grand.

That's what you said to me.

And then what? You skip town on me?

With all the money?

So you coming with me on

this first run, that's fine.
