Life of a King Page #3

---

Fair enough, Clifton.

Big bad Clifton.

Well, okay, if you ain't got

the guts to play me, Clifton,

does anybody else?

Anyone?

Yo.

I'll play this.

You like cards?

Fine.

We'll play cards.

Here's the deal.

If you win...

the whole class gets to do whatever

they want for the rest of detention.

What?

But if I win, you learn a new game.

You hustling me?

Hustle? You're the one that

wanted to play cards, homie.

You right.

Go ahead and play

this clown, Peanut.

You'll never get beat.

You know the game...

find the red ace?

Huh?

My name is Peter Paul.

I come from Montreal.

Came to play 'em all.

I've broken hipsters and

slicksters, elbows, and a-holes.

Your name is Peter what?

Go ahead and pick the one you like.

Nah-ah-ah.

Bet you're dead, Jack.

Man, I see it.

I see it.

Don't you worry about me seeing it.

See, here's what happened to you.

You thought you knew the

truth, but it wasn't there.

And it never will be until

you learn where to look.

He's messing with you, Peanut.

Man, I can catch it.

I-I-I was just

screwing around, man.

Let me get one more shot.

One more shot?

Yeah.

My name is Peter Paul.

I come from Montreal.

I came to play 'em all.

Ah-ah-ah.

Make sure you see it.

This is a king.

This is your life.

One mistake and it

can be taken away.

Wha.

Look, man.

Yo, this is going

to be the meeting spot.

All you got to do is go in there,

grab the stuff, and be out.

You get the money yet?

No, man, I ain't seen

my uncle in two weeks.

What the hell we going to do, Cliff?

I don't...

Look, man, if I can't

get the money...

Forget it, man.

We're just going to lift it.

My cousin gave it to me.

That's fly, right?

You know I don't

roll like that, Cliff.

Well, how do you roll?

You don't see what a good

opportunity this is?

Huh?

You ain't got no job,

you ain't got no money,

you ain't got no opportunity,

your mom's half gone...

Shut up about my mom, man.

Yo, that's the truth, T, and you know it.

Look, man, we pull this job off

and we ain't got to worry

about nothing no more.

Nothing.

Now, you think about that.

Now, everyone on the board is here

for one reason and one reason only.

To protect the king.

That is right.

To protect the king.

Now, he is old and has

survived many battles.

So he can only move

one spot at a time.

So, who's got his back

if he can only move one spot?

The queen.

Now, she is smarter faster,

and stronger than her king.

The knight is the horse.

Now, he can move two spots forward

and one spot to the side.

The trusty bishop

is his diagonal attack.

The rook, he patrols

the entire board.

He can move as many

spaces as he wants,

as long as it's in the same
