Fat Face Rick, Cheese and others in “-30-”

FFFat Face Rick

[Cheese pulls a gun on Rick]

See that? See now, that's just the wrong way to look at it. 'Cause Joe had his time and Omar put an end to that. Then Marlo had his time, short as it was, and the police put an end to that.

FFFat Face Rick

Cheese...

There ain't no back in the day, nigga! Ain't no nostalgia to this shit here. There's just the street, the game, and what happen here today.

FFFat Face Rick

[Cheese lowers the gun]]

[Slim Charles shoots Cheese in the head]
