You don't have any friends.
"A man of too many friends comes to ruin, but there is a friend who comes closer than a brother." Proverbs 18:24. Cornell Stokes was that friend for me. And I could trust him like I could my own...brother.

I apply foot to ass. And match lead for lead. I put murderers in handcuffs. I don't just seek justice. I stalk it. And that much should go in my record!
GKDr. Gabe Krasner
With your resumé you could've been downtown years ago. Hell, you could've been a Fed! You chose to stay in Harlem.
I know this place, I know the players, and I can make a difference here.
KKrasner
Or use some of those old-school connections to make a little money on the side, like your partner.
I didn't know anything about Scarfe, or anything he was doing. He didn't buy new clothes, no new watch, no new girlfriend, no loose cock, nothing!
KKrasner
But he'd been working for Cottonmouth for years.
And I trusted him! So I didn't see it, and neither did anybody else in this damn department! So why do I get singled out for it?
KKrasner
Because you're the closest to him. [Misty shakes her head] It's written all over your face. Not seeing it bothered you, didn't it?
'Cause seeing is my thing, right? That's what made me such a good point guard. 'Cause I could see everything in my head. I knew exactly where people were gonna be, so I put the ball right where it needed to go.
KKrasner
But you couldn't see Scarfe for what he was? Or were you blinded by your emotions?
[scoffs] You wouldn't say that if I was a man!
KKrasner
Oh, that is not true.
Bullshit! Male cops can screw cop groupies in the back of their unmarked RMP, and you guys cheer. They get drunk, they fight each other in the parking lot and it's called "blowing off steam." There's always a double standard.
What if this is a one-way trip?
Hey, hey, you are gonna make it. You hear me? You're gonna make it just fine. We're gonna fix this. Don't even. You're not dying in my mom's car.
If you go down his throat…
NBDr. Noah Burstein
We can puncture his mucus membrane.
Exactly.
BBurstein
I like the way you think.
I don't.
Just so we're clear…what could go wrong?
BBurstein
Well, your skin could peel off, like wax paper, and, uh, after about ten seconds, you'd beg me to put a bullet in your head because the pain would be so bad, but your head looks fine, so I guess the bullet would ricochet off your skull.
Sweet Christmas.
