Back to business, I say.
She ain't had any work in a few months. She's somewhat eager.

Y'all gonna pop out and pop off. Drop who you can.
ODO-Dog
Yo, let's go all west coast with this.
[laughing] Say what?
ODO-Dog
Drive-by. That's how they do. Drop a motherfucker and not slow down. Like Boyz n the Hood. Shit was tight, remember?
Fuck them west coast niggas. 'Cuz in B-more, we aim to hit a nigga, ya heard.
Surprise. Heh. My man Sergei thought we should talk first.
Talk about what?
That's on you, young'un. Whatever business you trying to do through the Russian, you gotta go through me first.
Yeah?
Yeah. 'Cuz up in this bitch here, I'm- I'm what you might consider... an authority figure. Y'know, everybody gotta get my help or ask my advice, like, all kinds of shit. Sergei stepped to me the other day, saying this nigga Marlo, who he don't even know, just be sending him cash money to get on his visiting list. So then he asked me if I knew Marlo; I told him "Hell yeah, I know Marlo real well." Y'know, over in the west-side, everybody know everybody, right?

Let me help you find your tongue - you trying to get to the Russian so you can get a line to his people. You trying to get to the Greek motherfuckers... because if you can, you wanna cut Proposition Joe and all them other east-side bitches out the connect. I mean, you a natural businessman, right? (Marlo chuckles) But this is the thing, though. And I mean, y'know, I'm wit'chu on all that as far as it goes, you know? West-side definitely need to stick together, you know what I mean, and all the fuss about you coming at me? I say let bygones be bygones, but fuck all them east-side bitches. That's just the way I feel about it; I got nothing but love in my heart for west-side niggas, nothing but love. Of course... I mean, y'know, I got to have my taste, too.
Figured that.
So send my sister a hundred large... and the next time you come in Jessup, it won't be my grill talking at you. My word on that.
A hundred large, huh?
...So wassup, man? Wassup wit'chu otherwise, y'know?
Ah, the game is the game.
Always.
