- Hey! I got a bet. I come in this game right now. Same score...
but we play black guys against the white guys.
- Name your price, cracker.
- No money. Forthese courts. And not just today. For good. If you win, we will walk away... but if we win, no bitching, no fighting. Right here in front of everybody, pack up your shit...
and get your black asses out of here.
- Nigger, you justfucked with the wrong bull. Come here! Should've learned your place on the fucking basketball court...
but youfucking monkeys never get the message! My father gave me that truck, you motherfucker! You ever shoot at firemen? You shoot at my family? I'm going to teach you a real lesson now, motherfucker.
- Put yourfucking mouth on the kerb. Put it on the kerb right now! That's it.
- Derek, no!
- Now say good night. Fucker.
- Drop your weapon! Put yourweapon on the ground! Put your hands up! I said get your hands up! Now turn around! Put your hands behind your head! Get down on your knees right now!
- You're not listening to me. I am done with it. All that bullshit out there and all your bullshit, too. I'm out.
- I understand how youfeel. You've just done hard time.
- Don't youfucking talk to me about hard time. You don't know anything.
- I've done mine.
- You didn't do shit. I found out about you. You did two months,
then rolled over on two kids... and let them go down for you.
So don't feed me your fucking lies, Cameron.
- All right. This is stupid.
- I'm done.
- You go cool off. Get laid. Do something. Get your head on straight, and then I'll talk to you.
- But it doesn't matter if I don't, does it? 'Cause you got the next crop... lined up and ready to go, you fucking chicken hawk.
- Excuse me?
- You prey on people, Cam! You use them! I lost three years of my life for yourfucking phoney cause... but I am on to you now,
you fucking snake.
- How the fuck do you know what's going on inside me?
- I know about the place you are in.
- What do you know about the place I'm in?
- There was a moment... when I used to blame everything and everyone... for all the pain and suffering... and vile things
that happened to me... that I saw happen to my people. Used to blame everybody. Blamed white people, blamed society, blamed God.
I didn't get no answers 'cause I asked the wrong questions. You have to ask the right question.- Like what?
-
Has anything you've done made your life better?
- So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned. My conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is
hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paperwith a quote. He says someone else has already said it best... so if you can't top it... stealfrom them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like.
"We are not enemies, butfriends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained... we must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory... will swell when again touched... as surely they will be... by the better angels of our nature."
