:11:00
Nino, your girl looks good.
:11:03
You must like slumming, Kareem.
:11:06
Why would a high-class guy like you
leave a good computer job at the bank...

:11:11
...come all the way uptown
by gypsy cab...

:11:14
...to work among a den of thieves?
:11:16
I'm no dummy.
:11:17
It's basic common sense and arithmetic.
:11:19
The difference between
them paying me $800 a week...

:11:23
...and you paying me $8,000 a week.
:11:25
I think my cousin also likes the fact...
:11:27
...that you're in the tradition
of Joe Kennedy.

:11:30
Who?
:11:33
Good. Because you got to rob
to get rich in the Reagan era.

:11:38
They running a strange program.
:11:41
More poor and disenfranchised folks
than this place has ever seen.

:11:44
They try to act like it don't exist.
:11:47
Meanwhile, the rich get richer...
:11:48
And the poor don't get a thing.
:11:50
Times like these, people want
to get high. Real high and real fast.

:11:54
And this is going to do it.
:11:57
And make us rich.
:12:01
I mean, what,
people going crazy over this?

:12:05
It look like cracked-off pieces of soap.
:12:09
The Colombians and Dominicans
have shown us the way.

:12:12
The shit is large.
:12:14
But we'll do it differently.
:12:16
No more selling on street corners.
:12:18
Change the product,
you change the marketing strategy.

:12:22
I've seen the future.
:12:24
And its name is the Carter.
:12:27
Hold up. The Carter Apartments,
that joint is big.

:12:30
We're talking about
combinating and consolidating.

:12:34
You're taking over The Carter?
:12:37
We taking over The Carter. We going to
bum-rush the whole damn thing.

:12:41
Now just imagine,
if the tenants cooperate, it's lovely.

:12:46
They become loyal customers.
:12:48
If they don't, fuck it. It's like
in Beirut, they become live-in hostages.

:12:53
We going to set up a lab here
to make the product.

:12:57
You hook up the computer, watch out for
the workers, the money and the product.
