Yeah, but he ain't as much of a prick about it. [closing his eyes] I know I got a lot of holes all in my pan, but that don't mean I don't know you can do some great motherfuckin' shit, if you have to. It's all down to circumstance. Some people, when shit goes down, they break and run, or they flip, do the nasty to a lot of people what ain't deserving it. And some people, they get scared, but they stand up anyway, do what they got to be doing. Me, I'm one of those first motherfuckers. You ain't, though. You're that other kind.
