- [Dispatch] 911, what's your emergency, please?
- [Operator] 11 Silver Metal road
between Lane Road and Cross Hatch road.
(siren wailing) (indistinct radio chatter)
- [Raine] Every three months I get the shop sprayed.
Same company, same time,
same old routine.
But this time it wasn't the same dude.

♪ Late night talks, babe ♪
♪ You the one I call everything ♪
- Hey.
(gentle music)
- Well, so you are Jones, huh?
When I saw the name Jones,
I thought to myself it can't be,
and I be damned, look here it is.
- Oh, how long you been working at Precision?
- Just a couple of weeks back.
That car wash shit wasn't working,
plus it was cold.
Know I've been stacking some money,
keeping it low.
You know I just got out of halfway house?
- I heard you got caught up in that raid.
And look at you now,
out here looking like fresh meat.
I know these women been all over you.
- What?
What you trying to say,
I look good to you?
- You know you look good.
- Yeah, you do too.
You always did.
- Well thank you.
- Give me a hug, girl.

- I gotta get back to work.
Why don't you gimme your number
and we'll catch up later.
- Okay, I'd like that.
(groovy music)
And, looking forward to catching up.
- It makes two of us.
(groovy music)
- So who is that?
- [Raine] Disney.
- So that's what you call it.
- [Raine] Get you some.
- Do he got a brother?
- (chuckles) I'm not about to play with you, girl.
We ain't seen each other in six years,
but it didn't feel weird,
it felt like we hit a pause
and now we're finally pushing play.
Not just as friends but as maybe more than that.
- So you really out here bossed up, ma,
got your own salon and everything.
Man, that's big for real.
- Thank you.
Yeah, it's been three years now.
I got it once I got tired of renting.
It's a grind but it's mine.
- [Dre] No that's solid, you know, I respect her.
- You know it's crazy
because some guys look at her like it's a threat.
You know they think I'm too much because I have my own.
I've heard it all.
- Who said that?
That's some insecure shit.
Look, I love that you got your own,
you blessed.
- Yeah, you would think so,
but I've really heard it all
from, "Oh you think you're too good,"
or "You don't need a man."
- Look, it ain't nothing wrong
with knowing your worth, Raine.
Niggas just weak and forward.
They weren't built for you anyway.
- You know, maybe I am kind of the problem
because I'm really good being single.
That comes easy for me,
but letting someone see the real me,
that shit is forever.
- Well I see you,
I been peeped you.
That ain't never going to change.
But look, I ain't just trying to be cool with you again,
I'm trying to be with you for real.
- Are you serious?
- Hell yeah, this fatten me greasy woman.
Look, I been stacking bread, laying low
since I touchdown, you know what I'm saying?
And ever since I seen you
it's like God had hit the reset button on my life.
(upbeat music)
- Hey yo- - Here you go.
- I'm sorry, real, I appreciate that man.
(upbeat music)
- You know him?
- No.
(upbeat music)
- Okay.
So-
- [Raine] When Dre asked if I knew him,
I didn't, but I felt something,
some kind of connection.
I brushed it off though.
Dre wasn't jealous,
it just came off weird.

- I told myself I wasn't gonna get caught up,
that I wanted to take it slow.
But the truth is,
I wanted him to stay and never leave.
And right then I felt it,
everything shifted.
(phone vibrating)
(upbeat music)
You good?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm straight, I'm all good.
(upbeat music)
- You staying?
- I got a,
I got a early pest control appointment, so.
(upbeat music)
- I mean, you can't just leave from here?
- Well I don't have an extra set of clothes
and I got more paperwork to do,
and honestly I wasn't expecting this.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, next time I guess.
- Yeah, yeah definitely.
I'll make it up to you.
(upbeat music)
I promise.
(upbeat music)
- I didn't mean to fall for him,
but that's the thing with love,
it doesn't ask for permission.

(Dre sighing)
- Well damn, you real comfortable,
and you come back in this bitch two days later
smelling like back shots and bags to body bumps,
like we cool or something.
- Don't start that shit,
I told you I had to work.
- Nigga, you don't look like you been at work,
and you damn sure don't wear Gucci guilts
to be killing no damn roaches, Andre.
- And you really on that shit tonight?
- Nigga, don't play with me.
I know about her.
Raine?
Yeah the little salon bitch.
- So what the fuck you been doing,
spying on me?
- No you sloppy.
I ain't got to spy, the streets do the talking.
Dre, I held you down for six years.
Money on your books,
commissary letters.
I drove two hours to come and see your funky ass
while you was up there writing other bitches
from the inside.
And so now you're out and I'm just a fallback girl?
(gentle music)
- Ain't nobody forgot all that.
And even if I wanted to forget,
your ass won't let me.
- Well nigga, fucking act like it.
Is you fucking her dry?
I mean no since you so real,
let's just be honest.
Is it pussy or do you care?
(gentle music)
Wow.
I fucking hate you.
- Look, I'm gonna tell you one mother fucking time,
don't put your hands on me.
- Or what?
What you gonna do, Andre?
You gonna choke me?
Oh let me get you gonna bless me.
Go ahead, bless me.

- Hi, how can I help you?
- You Raine, right? - I am, and you are?
- I'm the woman that man comes home to every night
after he's done up playing house with your ass.
- (scoffs) Oh wow, you talking about Dre?
- Yeah, Dre.
I'm Latisha.
- Okay, Latisha or whoever you are,
you need go out and take that up with him.
- Oh I am taking it up.
You just too nice to see it.
- Well look, I don't do mess in my place of business.
So you can either take this outside or be removed.
- Bitch, stop.
- [Raine] Bitch, who is you talking to?
- Listen, it's a little bit too late for that, okay.
But you, you thought you was the first?
You think he savior or some shit?
Baby girl, you just a new hobby
and I've outlasted them all,
and I'll definitely outlast you.
- Oh yeah?
Well if you're so confident then why are you here?
- Because you too damn comfortable.
- Well he made me this way.
- I know Dre,
he don't do comfortable unless he got two backups.
- Oh she's messy for real.
- Right.
- Lemme put you on game ball, okay.
That nigga smell good 'cause I bought that cologne.
That new shit he rocking,
I paid for it.
And when he's done doing whatever the fuck it is
that he's doing with you,
he'll be right back home with me.
- Okay Shirley (chuckles),
you thought you ate.
And you over here watching us, that's sad.
- No that's loyalty.
I've been down with that nigga for six years.
Jail calls, money on books, you name it.
You just a fresh face to make him feel new.
- So let me guess.
You held him down? - And did.
- Kept him solid,
yet here you are in my place of business looking desperate
like a little side piece hoping for some attention.
So lemme ask you something,
you really his woman
or are you a fan, bitch?
- Watch your fucking mouth. - Or what?
(gentle music)
- You look smart.
- I'm glad you know.
- So I'm gonna let you have him for now, okay.
- Let me (scoffs)?
- And when he leaves your back
with nothing but lies and regrets,
remember who tried to warn you?
Nice to meet you, Raine.
- Girl, this heifer got a lot of nerve (scoffs).
(gentle music)
(engine purring)
(gentle music)
(door clicking)
- Latisha, where your ass at?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
- You what the fuck wrong with me.
- You went down to her fucking job?
Why the fuck did you do that?
- Because I felt like it.
- That's her place of business, Latisha,
what the fuck was you thinking?
- Oh you protecting her?
- You embarrassed her
and you embarrassed me.
- Nigga, you embarrassed your own self every damn day.
- But you don't want nobody pulling up to that little
bullshit ass tax office of yours now do you?
- Nigga, fuck you and that damn beauty shop.
(hand smacking)
(gentle music)
That's all you got?
(hand smacking)
Come on Dre.
Bless me.
- As you wish.
(fist thudding)
(gentle music)
Your ass love for me to bless you, don't you, huh?
Don't you ever take your mother fucking ass
down to the goddamn shop again.
- Or what?
- Bitch, you want some more?
- Get out.
Get out, Dre,
get the fuck out.
- That's what I thought.
(gentle music)
(hand knocking)
- Raine baby, open the door.
(hand knocking)
I'm begging you baby,
I got nowhere else to go, please.
(hand knocking)
Raine.
Baby, I got nowhere where else to go.
(gentle music)
I got nowhere else to go.
Can I come in?
- I guess, come on.
(gentle music)
So where you been?
- Look, yeah don't even play with me like that,
you know I ain't come here for that.
- Nah, you showed up with a bag,
a lie and a whole lot of nerve.
- Raine, you know that's a prison thing, right?
Look, being here with you,
this is where I wanna be.
- You had weeks, Dre,
weeks to be real with me
and all of those nights whispering sweet nothings in my ear
and the whole time you had a woman waiting for you?
- Look I wanted to tell you,
really I did,
but the truth is I didn't know how.
- Don't lie to me now.
She told me six years.
Court dates, jail calls,
she even bragged about buying you stuff.
And here I am making you plates and shit
thinking I'm something special.
- Raine, I ain't have nowhere else to go, okay.
I ain't got no pot to piss in,
I just got out of prison.
She let me parole at her house, that's it.
- So she's your shelter and I'm your piss.
- No Raine.
You my everything.
- You see I could have forgiven the situation,
but you lied,
now I don't even know what's real.
- Look, I didn't want to lose you, okay.
Look, I've been trying to figure it all out, all right.
I'm begging you.
- Look me in my eyes
and tell me that she doesn't mean anything to you.
(gentle music)
- She doesn't mean shit to me, Raine.
- So you telling me she held you down
and you flipped on her.
So that's what I get to look forward to?
- Raine, Raine, Raine,
I love her but I'm not in love with her.
There's a difference.
- Not in love with her
but you still sleeping in her bed, okay.
- Goddamn.
Raine, Raine, Raine, Raine,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm yelling, I'm sorry.
I'm trying to tell you that I just want you,
I don't want her.
Look, whatever it takes,
I prove it to you.
(gentle music)
Come on, please.
- All right, but don't expect my trust overnight.
You will have to earn it.
- I'm cool with that, you know.
- On the couch.
- On the-

- Is that a problem?
- Nah.
Not for me.
Just saying, you don't look like his type.

- [Dre] You fucking serious?
- About what?
- You know what.
You really gonna let this bitch ass nigga
sit there and flirt in my mother fucking face
like I'm some goddamn clown?
- (chuckles) So you mad at me
because your homeboy don't know how to act.
- No I'm mad at your ass 'cause you liked it.
Smiling and giggling and shit
like you some whole single bitch out here.
- Well maybe because he ain't the one out here
selling lies and stacking excuses
like it's a damn hustle.
- What, say that shit again.
- What you gonna do Dre?
I mean you really mad at me for smiling now.
- Nah, I peeped everything,
the way you looked at the nigga and all that,
don't play dumb with me.
- So now I'm the problem?
Your messy ass friend over here outta line
but yet I'm the one that needs checking?
- You wanted the fucking attention, Raine,
I saw it in your face
- Dre, you ain't seen nothing.
I was trying to calm you down.
- Mm.
Next time you wanna try some cute shit like that,
don't do it when the fuck I'm around
or I might just have to bless
the both of you mother fuckers.
- Really Dre, Dre, are you serious right now?
He tripping.
He didn't even say goodbye.
He left the door open
just enough for me to hope again.

- Kels, what are you doing here?
- Heard you was the best in the city.
Figured I see what all the hype was about.
- We're closed, Kels.
- Well you know my bald headed ass aint here for no haircut.
Came to see you.
- [Raine] Where is Nia?
- Nia punk ass at home,
crying over me as usual.
Heart just heavy,
had to get up outta there.
See if you could help me reset.
- Reset?
Are you serious?
- Come on now,
let's not act like you aint feel the little vibe
at dinner the other night.
Don't lie.
You smiled.
- That wasn't a smile,
it was pity.
- There we go with the lies and shit.
So you really gonna sit up here
and act like I ain't catch you looking at me.
- The only thing you caught was yourself.
- Well now stop running.
You and I both know Dre clearing you
and I ain't Dre,
I treat you right,
I cherish you like for real, for real.
- You Dre's boy, right?
- Yeah, I am, but what-
- Then act like it.
You embarrassed Nia at that table.
You made her look weak
but you made yourself look weaker
and you thought that shit made you look like a man?
- Now, you know I was just playing with you, right?
- Nah, you was being disrespectful,
at least you tried (chuckles).
But I want you to remember something,
don't mistake my tired for soft
or my silence for interest.
So if there's nothing I can do for you,
why don't you go ahead and see yourself out
so I don't have to call Dre.
- Oh, call Dre, okay.
All right, all right.
(upbeat music)
Don't be acting brand new
next time I catch you smiling at me.
- Nigga, get out.
(upbeat music)
Good night.
Nigga trifling.
Can't believe he even pulled that shit.
(upbeat music)
(gentle music)
(door clicking)
- Mama told me.
- Told you what?
- [Tina] Please don't tell me you done gave this nigga
another $200?
- Yes I did, he needed it for his parole, chill out.
- Girl, stop it.
You working double shifts,
breaking your back to pay this nigga way through his lies.
Meanwhile he's still out here running around
acting like he's single.
- Tina chill, okay,
it ain't even like that.
- Then what it's like, huh?
You cooking, cleaning,
doing his laundry like you his wife
and you ain't even this nigga priority.
(gentle music)
When's the last time he asked you how you doing, Tish?
(gentle music)
Exactly.
When has this man ever cared about you?
(gentle music)
You don't see it do you?
You love him,
but that man,
oh honey, he loves himself.
You're know his safety net,
his maid and his ATM.
And he got you believing that's love?
- I just need him to see me, okay.
(gentle music)
- And I pray he does before it's too late.
I'm done watching you break yourself
behind a man who ain't even checking for your pain.
(door banging)
(soft rock music)
- Ooh girl, I'm so glad we came here
because that line was way too long.
- Okay.
- But lemme tell you about Kels.
He came at me bold, okay,
like Dre didn't even exist.
Pushed upon me like I was supposed to let him.
- But hold up.
Are you saying that Kels rolled up on you?
- Girl, yes.
I mean I pushed him off
but he definitely tried
and was shocked that I didn't want him.
- Ah, ah, so what you waiting for?
You gonna tell Dre or should I?
- But Key, they're like brothers.
I tell Dre that's war.
- Rainey, that is not your battle to fight.
- But you don't understand, okay,
the way Dre is,
it's not gonna be words,
that's gonna be blood.
- And what about you?
- I just,
I need to figure out how to tell him.
- No, what you need to do is tell Dre
before somebody else does.
- I guess you're right.
- I know.
In other news.
- You tried Tabby's seasoning,
girl, it's so good.
- I saw it over there, girl. - Girl I might have to
put it in this pasta.

- Hey, let me call you back though.
Hey Dre, what's up?
Just getting something to drink,
you know what's up?
Oh hey, tell Rainey that whole situation with her and Kels,
she handled that far better than I would have.
- What situation?
- You know, when that nigga was being a creep,
he blocked her off as if she owed him something.
Oh wait, wait, wait,
she ain't tell you.
- Say that shit one more time.
- Dre, look, don't even trip,
it is not even as serious,
she handled it.
I just thought you knew.
- What exactly did he do, Keisha?
(upbeat music)
- He just cornered her at the shop, right.
And just trying to roll up on her, whatever,
you know how niggas be (chuckles).
- And she handled it but decided not to tell me.
- Yeah look she was gone tell you

You want the Beyonce?
I tried but I failed.
(Raine chuckling)
- Okay, do you have an appointment?
- I didn't know I needed an appointment.
- Well usually you need one since we're closed,
but since she's this pretty,
I'll make an exception.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Right, come have a seat. - Get up there, baby.
- All right, what are we working with?
(gentle music)
- I see the nails.
Oh, oh, oh
No, no.
We gotta toast.
- With water? - With water.
With H2O, we have to toast.
To new air,
and to old pain.
Minding this business.
- Okay, I'll drink today. - You'll drink to that?
Drink some water to this.
(gentle music)
Man.
(gentle music)
You all right?
- Yeah, I'm good.
- You're sure?
- I can tell you've been through some shit.
What's going on?
- Yeah?
(gentle music)
I was with this guy, Dre.
- Dre.
He's the guy I seen you with, right?
- Yep.
He had charisma for days
but so much darkness.
Controlling, jealous.
He called it protecting me,
but I come fear.
- Is that why you flinched earlier?
- Yeah, reflex.
He used to always say, "I'm gonna bless you."
But what he really meant
is that he was gonna break you.
(gentle music)
- Well, you sitting here with me
and that's all that matters now.
- You always this smooth?
- When I need to be this smooth.
(people laughing)
(gentle music)
- Yeah, I mean after he got locked up,
I thought he would change.
So I moved on,
I needed to find peace
and turns out, found it right here.
- Found it right here, huh?
You know, I'm not trying to fix you,
but I'm gonna sit right next to you
while you heal yourself.
Sound like a plan?
- Sounds like a plan.
- We gonna retoast to that?
- Yeah.
- Toast the water again.
(people laughing)
(gentle music)
- Dre, what are you doing here?
- Look, I'm not here to start nothing, okay,
I just needed to see you.
Look, Raine, I'm sorry.
I'm not just saying that, I feel it.
- (scoff) Look, and I still have love for you
but, that's what makes this hard.
- Look, I've been going through therapy and church meetings,
I'm trying to change.
- (scoffs) You tell Katrina that
or does Latisha know?
I mean who else?
Yes, Katrina came to my salon.
- Katrina? - Yes.
She came to my shop,
same stories, same apologies.
She warned me about you.
- Look, I ain't expect you to trust me, okay?
But I never stopped loving you.
- And I still care for you,
but that's the problem.
- Can we start over?
- Dre, no,
we can't go back.
I mean maybe one day we meet again,
see about things,
but for now I think you should leave.
Please, Dre, look, I don't want any problems.
You just go.
- Fine.

Look, they talking about giving me 15 years.
Look, I know we ain't on good terms,

- You put yourself there.
- But I've changed.
- I still care,
not enough to love you again,
but enough to not want you to rot.
- Okay, I love you.
Thank you Raine.
Thank you.
(gentle music)
- Bye, Dre.
(gentle music)
- Hey. - Hey.
- what took you so long?
- Believe it or not,
I just got off the phone with Dre.
He's looking at 15 years
and he wants me to drop the charges.
- Ouch.
- And I told him I would.
- 15 years, huh?
It's a lot of time.
- Yeah.
- So what are you gonna do?
- I do it,
because I think I need to, for me.
(upbeat music)
- You know what,
that's it, that's it.
Let's go.
- Where are we going?
- We are going down to the precinct
so we can drop those charges.
Look Raine, you are a strong woman, very strong,
but no one should endure this pain,
especially alone.
- You'd do that for me? - Of course.
Look, Dre isn't the only one who cares for you, all right?
We gonna go down there,
we gonna drop the charges,
after that, you know,
we'll go get Malia from school,
we'll all go grab a bite to eat
to take the stress off of us.
How that sound?
- That sounds good. - Sound good?
Go get dressed, let's go.
- Okay.
(upbeat music)
(gentle music)
- This states that
you're choosing not to pursue prosecution.
You've asked the DA's office
to drop all charges,
voluntarily.
(gentle music)
Look, off record,
I've been doing this job a long time
and I've seen a lot of women sign away their safety
because they still care.
As a woman, I have to ask,
are you sure?
(gentle music)
- He needs help, not a cage.
- You need safety,
and he almost took that away from you.

Hope you right about him.
(gentle music) (artist vocalizing)
(hand knocking)
- Damn, I'm coming.
(feet shuffling)
You couldn't answer the damn door,
but you wanna sit here and text Raine
while I cook and clean for your dusty ass.
- Fuck that damn door, sh.
(feet shuffling)
This bitch, goddamn.
- [Tina] What now?
(gentle music)
(feet shuffling)
You crying over this nigga Dre again?
- Listen, don't even start,
you don't even know the whole fucking story.
- Girl, I know enough.
Every time I pull up,
you either fussing with Dre,
blocking Dre,
or laid up with Dre.
- Now see, you always fucking judging me.
You act as if you didn't stay with that fool
when he had a baby on your ass.
- And I left his ass.
What the hell you doing?
- Nigga, I made you.
(hand smacking)
- You ain't made shit.
(Latisha sobbing)
- Playing wifey to a nigga
that don't even claim you outside this apartment.
- Because I fucking love him.
(gentle music)
That's why.
You think this shit easy?
- No, I think you're addicted to the pain,
and that ain't love sis,
that's trauma.
- I held him down six years.
Money on his books, commissary.
I built that nigga up just so she can reap the benefits.
- Then let her have him.
Don't be begging no nigga to love you.
Mama did not teach us that.
- And why I feel so empty when he gone?
- That's because you gave that man
all the love you had inside of you,
you ain't leave nothing for yourself.
- I just wanted him to see me.
(gentle music)
- Look, I got wine this time.
- Okay.
- I'm just saying
- I'm not gonna lie,
I actually kind of like the water.
- What? - Yeah, you know,
it's our thing, okay.
No one's ever toasted me with water.
- Oh, since you don't want no wine,
I'm gonna pour this out and put some water.
- No, it's fine, you aint gotta do all of it.
(gentle music)
- What's wrong?
Talk to me.
- I was just thinking I'm glad I signed it.
- Yeah, yeah.
- You wanted to do that right?
- I mean I didn't wanna be the reason
why he sat in a cage for 15 years.
I mean that doesn't feel like justice,
it just feels heavy.
And I'm not saying that he didn't deserve consequences,
but- - Right, right.
- Prison doesn't make people better,
it makes them get worse,
and I've been with worse already.
Can I be honest?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's what?
- Because I care,
even though I will never trust him again,
I just wanna be free.
And I want this,
I want us,
- You want us?
(Mark chuckling)
- You're my peace and I want what we have more than revenge.
- Oh.
And,
you didn't have to explain anything to me,
but I am honored you did it.
(gentle music)
- You know, sometimes I feel like I let myself down,
like I let women down.
- No, no.
I'm not about to sit here
and let you beat yourself down, all right.
What I saw today was a woman
who put her future over her past,
and most women would've folded doing that,
but you didn't, that's your strength, right.
And since you want peace
and it's peace right here, all right.
- Okay.
- See.
- So what will be the watch next.
- "Car Shattered Dreams" was real good.
- Okay, let's try it.
(upbeat music)
(people laughing)
- Okay, who got you over there
cheesing like a little chess can.
What is his name?
- Mark.
- Mark, you got that new new,
or is that?
Wait, did Dre come back new?
- Girl don't even bring Dre up.
- All right, I ain't bringing him up.
- But speaking of him,
I did it, I signed the affidavit,
so he's free.
I had to do what I had to do for me.
- Well I'm happy for you friend,
but are sure you're just not trying to forget
so you won't have to heal.
- Well look, I faced it,
I lived it,
but I'm tired of wearing it.
Mark, he makes me feel whole,
like there's hope,
and I just wanna move on.
- Well hallelujah for hope.
(people laughing)
- Let's toast to that.
- Or should we call it Mark?
- Let's go with hope.
(people laughing)
(upbeat music)
But, you know,
although things are going really good with Mark,
I really hope it's not just a rebound.
- Girl, don't look at it like that, okay,
just go with the flow,
and don't be checking on your past
because ain't nothing worth missing back there,
it damn near killed you.
- You right about that.
- So we gonna text Mark back? - Oh yes.
(people laughing)
- Yes.
I now that's right, friend.
- And done.
(upbeat music)
- [Assistant] Ms. Hayes, our 2:30 is here.
(gentle music)
Please take a seat.
(gentle music)
- Raine dropped the charges,
but the DA picked it up anyway,
they're moving forward.
- What you mean they picked it up?
She let it go, ain't that enough?
- Not with your priors.
They're saying it's a pattern,
they call you dangerous.
Look, if you take the plea,
you're looking at 15.
But if this goes to trial, 25.
- 15 years?
For what?
I ain't killed nobody.
- You broke into her home,
held her against her will.
There's audio, 911, bruises,
that's enough for attempted assault, deadly.
- You act like I kidnapped the bitch.
So what you want me to do,
take the time.
- I'm telling you to weigh your options
because if you take this to trial,
they're coming for blood.
- You sound like you working for them.
You supposed to be on my mother fucking team.
- I am on your team,
but I don't lie feed,
and I don't sell dreams that I can't deliver.
- Keep talking shit,
and I'm gonna bless your ass too.
- (scoffs) Try it.
You really will be seeing 25 to life.
- You're a smug ass bitch.
You was in on it, huh?
You was the one probably told her to press the charges,
probably saying some shit like,
"He dangerous, girl.
"Put him away."
- Look you wanna go back?
Maybe that's where you belong,
but don't come blaming me
when that cell door locks behind you.
(gentle music)
- She said she loved me.
- Maybe she did,
but you beat that love right out of her.
- The fuck you know about us?
Matter of fact, fuck all that,
I ain't taking no plea.
- Then you better hope the jury see something I don't.
- Fuck what you see,
and fuck what that jury see.
- Mr. Dre, this meeting's over.
- Yeah, this mother fucker is over.
Fuck you and this (indistinct).
