20:42Losers looking to get out
20:45Junkies and businessmen, that's it
20:50You know what I could just say yes to
20:55Maybe some new clothes maybe a new car. Maybe a fine-looking woman on my arm
21:07Getting out of here
21:11No, I'm not gonna spend my whole life in a Piedmont man, that's for sure
21:17Maybe someone we know whacked Ozzy a chance at all that
21:27Then again, maybe it's none of my business you're smart there's enough to go around
21:36Try to sell what I sell
21:39And I'm a businessman
21:44There's a nice-looking piece you got here
21:48Keep it real clean. Yeah. Well don't fire it much
21:55Don't have to
21:57Long as people know you're a businessman
22:01That's enough
22:04If I have to I will fire this guy
22:09You
22:12Should remember that
22:21You believe him yeah, I do I
22:24Mean, yes, he's a crack dealer. And yes, I think he'd kill me if he had to

22:34Okay, let's stay with him for now
22:37You know, he can get out of that life if you want to tell counselor Hanson's gonna save him from the life
22:42Come on, he's going to jail. Just like the rest of them the voice from the streets
22:47Hey, we busted a dealer today. We're selling bunk. You know what bunk is
22:53Yeah
22:56It's a lot of sides of this pinhole even for an expert like you
22:59I'm gonna have to understand it takes more than one side to make a dent
23:02I didn't put you back in that uniform to see if you'd gain weight since the Academy
23:11Hanson those are my clothes from my locker
23:16You know used to be a cop around your head a shirt just like that then one day just disappeared
23:21Yeah, I found it in the locker. I guess I could have it dry-cleaned of the guy who came back
23:26Okay
23:29Fine sometimes
23:32They say late at night. You can still hear his ghostly voice. You think that's very funny, don't you?
23:41Pulse how you doing with Ozzie's girlfriend? I think I may be getting somewhere
24:02Oh

26:09I I always had this as much as I wanted and I stopped when I wanted
26:19I can get you clean
26:24Well, then I can get you money who killed Ozzie, I don't know I really don't keep you just tell him I told you something
26:32All right, where'd you buy the rock?
26:36Darling I can give you the money, but I just need something to show for it. I
26:42Bought it on the corner what corner I don't know you just give me the money you pick a corner any corner around here
26:48You'll be right. You're not gonna help me. I can't help you
