Money laundering? They gonna come talk to me about money laundering? in West Baltimore? Sheeeit… Where do y’all think I’m gonna raise cash for the whole damn ticket? From laundromats and shit? From some tiny-ass Korean groceries? You think I have time to ask a man why he givin’ me money? Or where he gets his money from? I’ll take any motherfucker’s money if he givin’ it away.

You know, Avon, you gotta think about what we got in this game for, man. Huh? Was it the rep? Was it so our names could ring out on some fucking ghetto streetcorner, man? Naw, man. There’s games beyond the fucking game.

DOMINIC: How many times you do this?

MICHAEL: You know, I was a little delirious ‘cause Idris and I hung out— you see he’s sleeping right there, right? [they laugh] Idris and I hung out the night before.

DOMINIC: Oh yeah? This is your big scene, you’re completely hungover?

MICHAEL: Totally hungover! Totally.
