life for real. Somehow, it takes:

Lounge act turned legitimate thug.

INT. POOL HALL

DUPREE:

In reality, he doesn't know the ball

from the bounce... He's not a crook,

so he starts f***ing up fast and

picking up speed, putting a floodlight

on the whole Carlotta organization.

Cops get curious, start camping out,

compiling names and faces and pretty

soon Israel's bullshit has brought

the heat to bear on none other than
