This country was founded

on great ideals and principles.

But they've all been mined...

by the banks.

Open your eyes, Jimmy.

It's the banks that are robbing you.

Word the f*** up, man!

- You know who my favorite president was?

- Who?

Thomas Jefferson.

Because he saw all

of this coming and tried to stop it.

He fought the banks.

JFK, too, and they killed him for it.

F***ed up, man. F***ed up.

The banking institution is more

dangerous than an army, he said.

He also said that every

generation needs a revolution, Jimmy.

The American Dream is just that...

just a f***ing dream.

Deep. Sh*t, that's deep.

Frankie, go start the car

and tum on the AC.

It's too hot in this city.

It's nice out, bro.

Jimmy, man. Come on.

I'll be in touch.

Get some sleep, Jimmy.

But no sleepwalking.

Any problems you cause

will he very had for your brother.

Aw, Frankie.

You f***ing motherf***er.

You f***er.

You motherf***er.

Jimmy. Ah, Jimmy.

Come on, you done calling dinosaurs?

That's disgusting, man.

- You all right?

- Yeah, I'm good.

Sug. What's up, Sug?

Oh, sh*t, look. They got all

this whip cream and sh*t.

Yo, House. Come here, man.

This is my brother, James.

He's driving and blowing sh*t up.

Don't f*** this up.

- You need to eat something, dude.

- What?

Nothing. Nothing.

That's like House's crew.

He's cool, he's cool.

I don't talk to them too much.

Yeah, they're cool.

- Fellas, what's up'!

- Oh, sh*t. You remember Spoonie?

- From back in the day.

- We used to play ball together, man.

- Yo, Spoonie, from the Bywater..

- Boys, gather 'round.

What's up, man'! What's up?

War is a continuation of politics,

only by other means.

Politics is a continuation

of economics by other means.

This is our hank.

This is our war.

And this is our plan of attack.

We need to create a staged distraction.

James will jack four cars

and blow 'em up all over

Central Business

District to draw out the cops.

As we enter,

Frankie will secure the guard

and disable the cameras.

Spoon will take out the hostages.

Sugar and I will grab the manager

and go for the vault.

Our window of opportunity is five minutes

after the vault unlocks automatically...

according to our source

back at the warehouse.

No risk he'll squeal.

Nevertheless, James will be

on police scanner in the van.

And, James, we'll need a

nondescript getaway van.

Weapons and ammo on you, House.

We all clear?

Yo, it's a good plan, man.

- It's a f***ing stupid plan.

- Jimmy, come on, man.

We each break out with like

half a mil, man, come on.

Jimmy, I need this. We both need this.

We get our life back on track.

Erase all those lost years.

I was on track, Frankie.
