You didn't sh**t and k*ll

Kev was my family, too,

Feel like I've been carved out.
I was actually feeling pretty good.

Kane in surgery.

- Sure.
- Thank you.
You're in a good mood.
Yeah, I guess I...
Maybe I am.
Think I owe you an apology.
Or at least an explanation
as to a certain phone call
I may have made yesterday.
A phone call?
Are you talking about when
you threatened to k*ll me?
Look, I was on dr*gs, man.
Not in my right mind.
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, I heard.
Please tell me that you had,
like, a little bit of fun
before the paranoia kicked in?
Yeah, actually.
The whole family was there.
Everybody happy.
No idea
about the b*mb that was about to drop
- in the middle of it all.
- Yeah.
See, now I'm not sure if you're
talking about the acid or about
me agreeing to do business with Louie.
Pie will be up in just a minute.
Thanks.
(CLEARS THROAT)
You know, I got to say,
I didn't see that coming.
You should know
that my doing business with her...
not personal...
Personal?
Just business?
You know how many times I've used that line?
That's why I'm hoping
you'll understand it.
I mean, sh*t. This ain't
about me and you, right?
It's about America, it's about...
- winning a w*r.
- That's right.
And to that point, I did some thinking
before I came here tonight.
Did you know in the last three years,
I've made you almost $ million
to help win that w*r?
During which time I've been
beaten, sh*t, imprisoned,
k*lled people.
Not to mention unleashing a plague
and selling out my own father.
To keep your gravy train flowing, of course.
And you wanted it.
Remember?
Yeah, that's true.
And this ain't charity work.
You've taken home some
really nice hazard pay out
- of the whole deal.
- I have. So we are in agreement
that this unlikely partnership
has been more fruitful
and productive than either
of us could have imagined.
We've even had what I'd like to think were
a few genuine moments of human connection.
And I do genuinely hope
that you got everything
you wanted out of it,
squeezed every last drop.
'Cause as of this moment,
our partnership is over.
(BELL DINGS)
Anything else I can get for you... ?
- We're fine, thank you.
- Okay.
Just because I'm dealing with Louie
does not mean that you have to quit.
You went behind my back, man.
Undercut me to my biggest customer,
so, yeah, it does.
(SIGHS)
I've got my money.
Got my lady.
Got a baby on the way.
And I've done my patriotic duty,
then some, you know that, so I'm out.
And, sh*t, maybe nobody
will know that a white boy
from Kansas and a Black
kid from South Central
changed the course of history forever.
