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.
