gold to make sure it all runs smoothly.

Jessie, we got to get up outta here.

Maybe not so sizeable.

One, two, three.

(explosions)

He got greedy

but I took care of everything.

Only the purser knows

you're going to be on board.

- Where's the money?

- I changed the gold into cash.

I want all the money.

You piece-of-sh*t weasel.

Wait. You can't just go

meandering out there.

The only live people on this ship

is the captain and me.

Which means everyone else

has to go as cargo.

Cargo?

- You mean dead cargo?

- Did I fail to mention that before?

No, you didn't mention that,

you crazy son of a b*tch.

We ain't got much choice. Either way,

we're going out in one of these boxes.

The choice is if we go out alive

or like our friend Walker here.

- We're gonna do it.

- Hell, no, Jessie. I'd rather swim.

Are you telling me that this big, strong

country ox is claustrophobic?

I don't like tight spaces.

It's nice in here, Obobo.

Real comfortable.

- Can we get the hell outta here?

- Obobo, look here.

See this here? My daddy gave me

this book when I was young.

- I can't read.

- No. Look in the reflection.

He told me if I could see my reflection

in that book, I'd be safe.

- It's not working.

- You keep looking.

In an hour from now you'll be right there.

- It ain't working.

- It's gonna work, Obobo.

(groans)

Seems like

all this war brings home is corpses.

Just let it slip through

your fingers. You try.

That means you're doing it wrong.

"Nicodemus was a slave of African birth."

"He was bought for a bagful of gold."

"He was reckoned

a part of the salt of the earth,

but he died years ago, very old."

"Nicodemus was a prophet,

at least, he was wise,

for he told of battles to come."

"How we trembled with fear

as he turned up his eyes,

and we heeded the shake of his thumb."

"...bought for a bagful of gold."

Remember that.

"He was reckoned

a part of the salt of the earth,

but he died years ago, very old."

"Nicodemus was a prophet,

at least, he was wise,

for he told of battles to come."

"How we trembled with fear

when he rolled up his eyes,

and we heeded the shake of his thumb."

(cheering)

(? "One Night Of Freedom"

by B.B.O. T.I. (Badd Boyz of the Industry))

? God only knows what tomorrow brings

? All I need is one night of freedom

? Gotta let the fun take control of me

? Now it's time for us to come together

? I wish this night would last forever

Oh, yeah, baby!

I got paid. A couple of days ago the man

was gonna kill me, now he pays me.

Jessie Lee, this pocket change is for sh*t.

What about the rest of that there gold?

Spending will attract attention.

I'll give it to you in the morning.
