He need to get hard.
[shrugs] Well, if he out, then he out.
[in irritated tone] Oh, no you not. You ain't gon' take my son away from me! Not for these—
[in aggravated tone] Remember who the fuck you talkin' to right here! Remember who I am. My word is still my word -- in here, in Baltimore and in any place you can think of callin' "home", it'll be my word that find you. Man come down here to say my son can be anything he damn please.
'Cept a soldier.
Yeah? Well, look at me up in here... who the fuck would wanna be that if they can be anything else, De'Londa? Hmm?
So... you cuttin' me off, too?
[sighs] You still got me. We'll get by... but you gon' let go of that boy. Bet that.
