Shit, nigga, we was good when your uncle had it. You had to go ahead and put up with Marlo...
[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. And now, motherfucker, it's our time. Mines and yours. But instead of just shutting up and kicking in, you gon' stand there, crying that back in the day shit.
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.
You right.
[Cheese lowers the gun]]
When it was my uncle, I was with my uncle. When it was Marlo, I was with him. But now, nigga--
[Slim Charles shoots Cheese in the head]
What the fuck you do that for?! Now we short the nine!
That was for Joe.
Motherfucker had it comin'.
This sentimental motherfucker just cost us money!
