"Amelio, how you doing brother?"

"So so, Sonny. Today seem a lil complicated, huh?"

"Yeah, it seem that way. Fuckin wit a cop's family? That's new heights for even you."

"I know, but times is hard, man. You know the kinda cash I gotta drop to send my lil kid off to college one day? Real criminal shit."

"That sound like yo problem."

"The more I make? Cop? The more y'all mufucka's take man."

"Just let her go, man. She ain't a part of this."

"Look like you made her a part of this now. According to your old man, Jake."

New Orleans was my temporary home these days, at least until this movie wrapped.

I was renting out the penthouse at the Four Seasons and had been for the last three weeks while shooting a film, Blood Brothers.
