And the legend, me,

I'm walkin' right in with him.

Five minutes from now

we'll be on the streets...

...with $30,000 worth of very sweet candy...

...more than enough to put me

right back where I just come from.

- Cmo est?

- Oye, Quisqueya. Qu pasa?

Coo, Guajiro. Who's this?

This is my cousin, man.

Primo mo, Carlito Brigante.

You heard of Carlito, right?

What you need him for?

Tranquilo, tranquilo.

I just come along for the ride, man.

Come on, Quisqueya, man.

You know Carlito, right?

I got nothing here.

He just got out of Lewisburg, man.

He used to be partners with Rolando Rivas.

Carlito. I heard of you, man.

You used to run smack

with Rolando, right?

Little bit.

Little bit? Little bit, that's a good one.

I heard you guys were the f***ing kings.

Lo siento, Carlito.

Hermanos, take care of Carlito.

We gotta do some business.

Hermanito.

- Quierejugar?

- No, I'll watch.

- We're playing eight ball.

- Good game.

- You don't mind if I count it, right?

- It's all there, man.

I'll count it anyway.

- Maybe you'll lose a game.

- Right.

- You like that shot I did, right?

- That shot ain't nothin'.

Come on.

What're you in a rush for?

I'll beat you again.

- Damn it!

- What's the matter?

- That's your bathroom there?

- That's the bathroom.

Don't work.

The toilet's backed up.

Sorry, man.

- Don't work?

- No, don't work.

I can wait another week.

Come back then, we'll have it fixed for you.

Turn it up! I love that song!

Mira, you wanna play or what?

Be cool. I'm rackin', man. Sh*t.

- You got a light?

- Sure, man.

- You're playin' eight ball, right?

- Yeah.

I can't resist this.

I gotta show you people a shot.

- We're in the middle of a game here!

- You're playin' eight ball.

Right before you rack. It's nothin'.

It ain't gonna bother your game.

You ain't gonna believe this.

Gonna line 'em up like this.

- You gonna show us a trick shot?

- No trick shot. This is magic time.

After you see this shot,

you're gonna give up your religious beliefs.

Quisqueya, you gotta check this out.

- Carlito's doin' one of his trick shots.

- Guajiro.

I ain't done counting yet.

You want a cold beer, hermano?

Help yourself, man.

- Took me six months to learn this shot.

- Six months?

- You gotta help me though.

- Sure.

See this?

- Over the 12.

- Okay.

- So how's your boss?

- He's good. I saw him this morning.

Put your finger right here,

right on top of the 12, to hold it there, see?

- Like that?

- You gotta get it even with that.

- So you didn't hear the news?

- What news?

There's no beer down here, man.

Sure, way down in the bottom.

Me and Clyde Bassie were working on this.

You lookin' at that nine?
