Well, I decide not to have a baby.

But I can not guarantee

I will be next to you

If you decide to keep it.

Put your cards on the table

and I'm just down to earth.

I do not want to have misunderstandings

or confusion.

Clearly. You want to land.

You can then run Gage the moment

which you call

though his wife,

but can not support his child.

What kind of man are you, Diamond?

I can not believe it.

Finally saw the light, eh?

If you do,

will do it properly.

Haliluya.

Without games.

- You give me hundred grand?

Why do you harness that?

That's my music

and no one to f*** with her.

This I say.

Relax, bro.

This is me - Gage.

You are together in kyupa.

Forever ... Until the end.

Bro, will break!

Real hit!

I tell you, will break all.

Smiley, please shut up for a while.

How are you, Gage?

What brother?

- He is always ready. Right?

I tried to sleep.

- Sit down, I prepared something to eat.

That was my music.

What do you say?

Was.

- Should I?

Maybe you just should not ask me.

- No.

Say what it is,

Too mechanized ...

You know, no feeling.

Pressure but no thrill.

The problem is that you grew up

with electronic music.

You think these keyboards

sound like a real piano.

Not so.

Let me show you something.

Play me something.

Make this plastic

sounds like a piano.

Not bad, eh?

Come on, put.

Where are we going?

In my time.

Damn it.

How you would?

I want to get a package from Frank.

Okay, no problem.

Watch your back.

All right.

Did you hear that Seamus is it clean?

Purified it? For what?

He held one of my one hundred grand.

- Seamus you?

Seamus does not work for you.

Do little business transaction.

I think this, where it is cleansed,

knew that Seamus has a tutu.

Nasty job.

Then he would hear would.

By the way ...

I heard that doing an album with Diamond.

Small deal, you know.

Naturally.

And where did you get the money for the album?

Not cost us any money.

Marshall put our stew.

Really?

- Yes.

How kind of him.

False dirty bastard!

You are cleansed Seamus.

I have not touched.

- I do not care what their rights.

He was f***ing garbage.

I want my money.

Not me.

What's wrong with you saw me?

Nasty I even looking.

I want my steak to be thin.

I want to show Gage's how it works.

What you choose, Gage?

A thick or thin?

Good!

I know you took them.

What did you do with them?

I used it for Diamond album.

Why not say from the beginning?

Do you think you know?

It would, I told you ...

I did not know Seamus works for you.

But as I told you that someone has purged

and I took the hundred grand,

why not confessed?

Just had to say:

"Sorry, Mr. Bi.

Your money back. "

I was afraid, I was half-afraid.

- Are you scared?

But with pleasure spend my money

and got a music producer!

Look now at what sank sh*t.

- You, see ...

Diamond has nothing to do.

I have nothing against

music industry.

And who knows ...

This may be a blessing.

When I was a child,

I just wanted to play.

I was waiting for his big chance

which never came.

And when I stopped to hope

I stopped to believe in myself.

Then soaked.

You know, Diamond, in your eyes

I see my determination of youth.

I had a beautiful woman, child ...

And they infect, because I,

that music is more important.

It crushed me, son.

Do you understand?

I finished it.

Who is it?

- I am.

What are you doing here?

- I want to talk to you.

Come on, do not act like that.

Did not behave

Last time we talked,

You do not want to have anything to do with it.

I want to hear.

When released,

will forever change our lives.

Yours and that of my baby.

Diamond, I believe you

and I want to trust you,

but the things which He spoke to me ...

I so easily forget them.

I can not.

I'll be with you.

Yes?

What is it?

- Posted on Johnny this and that,

only to inflame the appetite.

I know when something is hit.

As launch this album
