Empire

:02:20

Damn. Had I known
what I know now.

:02:23

But today cats are different.

:02:24

We all know selling and competition,
that's what this country's built on.

:02:29

It's all about one thing:
making money.

:02:31

Money, baby.
Simple as that.

:02:33

Evertyhing else is just bullshit.

:02:36

Money is why people come here
from every country in the world.

:02:39

It's what the American dream
is all about.

:02:41

You think people come here from all over
the world to live in East New York...

:02:44

in Harlem, the South Bronx...

:02:46

because of the beautiful views,
because of the fucking quality of life?

:02:52

My name is Victor Rosa.

:02:54

I'm young, Latin and good-looking,
and I call it like I see it, baby.

:02:58

'Cause I'm gonna tellyou what I think
whetheryou wanna hear it or not.

:03:02

'Cause you're not gonna get
bullshit from me. Uh-uh.

:03:05

I'm a businessman, an entrepreneur...

:03:07

like Rockefeller and Carnegie.

:03:09

And in my time a geek motherfucker
like Bill Gates. That's right.

:03:13

They all did it themselves.
Fought the odds and made a fortune.

:03:16

So why can't I?
Like them, I got a product.

:03:18

I sell it aggressively
and I make money-- a lot of it.

:03:22

It doesn't take advertising to sell my
product-- it pretty much sells it self.

:03:26

It takes brains to make money
and survive in this business.

:03:31

And that may have been the same
for Rockefeller as it is for Gates...

:03:34

but in what I do, you fuck up, you don 't
just lose one of your stock options.

:03:40

So we run out of
my boyJimmy's crib.

:03:43

Me and Jimmy, we got into this together
when we was just kids out there...

:03:46

and we worked our way
from lookouts.

:03:48

It's my crew, but I honestly
couldn 't do it without Jimmy.

:03:53

And Chedda.
Chedda's a monster, yo.

:03:55

Not because of his size,
but because he 's all heart, baby.

:03:59

Blackest motherfucker I know.
