We didn't intend to cut you out.

There wasn't enough money to go around.

And this... wasn't what we banked on.

So this is plan B.

And whose plan is that?

We made a pact.

There wasn't enough money for our needs.

We'd have to appropriate your share.

Howard says it's just a matter of priorities.

Huh. Oh, for a minute there, I thought we were just getting screwed.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

You want to keep that good eye, keep your hand off my sh*t.

Maybe you two ought to try it some time.

If you're so smart, why are you burying this in front of us?

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey.

It's an awful lot of rough housing for a peacenik.

Get your g*n up.

Hey.

Look like you gonna have to use that thing, Howard.

Ever k*ll a man before?

I did.

Paco, fill it in.

These fellers have stepped in the wrong pile of sh*t.

Let's not rub it in.

They've been riding me since they got here.

Hey.

I'd have ridden you a hell of a lot harder.

Y'all already made one mistake: pissing me off!

Just let us do our thing. We'll let you go.

Howard doesn't want anybody to know about us yet.

You ain't got to worry about me telling nobody.

No, sir.

What is this thing?

You zip it, Chub.

Not supposed to say.

Come on.

We're gonna buy some dr*gs.

Oh.

What, like, like grass?

Uh-uh, cocaine.

Cocaine?

- Chub!

Chub!

You stupid sh*t.

All right, okay.

What the hell does buying cocaine have to do with making a difference to this world, huh?

That wasn't part of the big pitch you sold me.

If we're gonna launch a sustainable movement, we need sustainable income.

They're gonna use cocaine to fund their cause.

How do you think the Mechanics survived as long as we did?

By selling sweet Mary Jane to college students.

Cocaine's a bit different.

Don't you think?

Exactly.

Who buys cocaine?

Cokeheads, mostly.

People who can afford it.

It's a luxury drug.

Consider us a luxury tax.

We're gonna take it from the rich, and we're gonna use it to help the people that need it.

Like Robin Hood.

Last I remember, Little John didn't have no pager.

Y'all just a bunch of g*dd*mn drug dealers.

No, no, we use the system to b*at the system, and then we change the system.

You can b*at my meat and preach about the system and the seals all you want...

Who said anything about the seals?

What's with the seals? Why does he keep saying that?

Whales, elephants, whatever.

You know what happens to drug dealers, hmm?

They end up in prison or in a ditch with a b*llet in the head.

Actually, that don't sound like a bad idea.

Paco's done this before.

He's got the connections.

Yeah, look at him now.

They handle the traffic. We handle the income.

We stay clean.

Yeah, and then we have the power.

[chuckles] Power?

You lost your drawers in the swamp.

What the hell you gonna do with any damn power?

What makes you think we need an economics lesson from two out-of-work field hands?

Technically, we're Rosarians, not field hands.

You two ain't thought this sh*t out, did you?

Ignore him, Trudy.

You might have saved a couple of lives, but you're gonna ruin a bunch more.

Think them dr*gs just gonna reach the hands of some Hollywood big sh*t or up the nose of some Wall Street scumbag?

They're gonna end up on the street in the hands of some kids don't even know what they hell they doing.

Don't listen to him.

He's just being derisive.

Oh, that's a big word...

Quiet.

For such a little assh*le to fart.

All right, that's enough.

That was impressive.

You rehearse that?

Nice girlfriend you got there.

Got more faces than a diamond.

Okay.

I admit that.

That took me by surprise.

And here we are, g*n in face, duct-taped to a chair.

Dear Hap, it's been awhile. I know.

I keep meaning to visit, but...

I never have been great at life.

I think of you often, though, you in there, making a difference, dedicated.

And me, out here, it's quiet, Hap.

I keep thinking it'll get easier, but then I remember, that's not how the world works.

And I'm never one to sit still, so I've decided to do something about it, to try and make a difference of my own.

I've moved to San Francisco.

It's a long way, but it really is for the best, for me, for the cause.

I've joined a group of people out here.

We march and protest against the w*r, like we used to do.

I gave you every opportunity to be a part of this.

You made your choice.

Somebody always gets hurt, Hap.

This time, the greater good will win out.

Greater good?

There was a time when that meant protesting against wars and marching for equality, not this.

You remember those two monks who set themselves on fire to protest the w*r?

Mm.

I want that kind of dedication.

Oh, they were dedicated, all right.

They also got b*rned up.
