:03:01
whether you wanna hear it or not.
:03:02
You're not gonna
get bullshit from me.

:03:05
Nah-uh. I'm a businessman.
An entrepreneur...

:03:08
Like Rockefeller and Carnegie.
And in my time...

:03:11
a geek motherfucker
like Bill Gates. That's right.

:03:13
They all did it themselves.
Fought the odds and made a fortune.

:03:17
So why can't I?
Like them, I got a product.

:03:19
I sell it aggressively
and I make money. A lot of it.

:03:22
It doesn't take advertising
to sell... it pretty much sells itself.

:03:26
It takes brains to make money
and survive in this business.

:03:29
(gunshot)
:03:30
And that may have been
the same for Rockefeller...

:03:33
as it is for Gates,
but in what I do...

:03:35
you fuck up, you just don't lose
one of your stock options.

:03:40
So we run out of my boy
Jimmy's crib.

:03:43
Me and Jimmy,
we got into this together...

:03:45
when we werejust kids.
We worked our way from lookouts.

:03:48
It's my crew but...
:03:50
I honestly couldn't do it
withoutJimmy.

:03:53
And Chedda...
Chedda's a monster, yo.

:03:56
Not because ofhis size
but because he's all heart, baby.

:03:59
Blackest motherfucker I know.
:04:01
Jay... Well, Jay is a special case.
:04:06
He's what you call "simple. "
An idiot savant.

:04:09
Sometimes more idiot than savant.
:04:12
What we make here is my product...
:04:15
a heroin mix I call "empire. "
:04:17
Okay, it works like this.
:04:19
There are three other dealers
who work this area beside me.

:04:23
You got Hector's "exorcist. "
:04:25
You got Tito who sells his "severe. "
:04:29
Then there's Negro.
That motherfucker's a legend.

:04:32
Damn good businessman
for a faggot.

:04:34
Not that I got anything against faggots,
but I gotta give it up to him.

:04:37
"Dancing queen"is a dope-ass
name for his shit, too.

:04:42
We all get our supply
from the same connect...

:04:45
"La Colombiana"...
Joanna Menendez.

:04:58
We all sell the same product,
just mix it differently,
put our own labels on it.
