Montoya Santana:
I hear Little Puppet's name is on a piece of paper, ese.

J.D.:
I want you to cosign it.

Montoya Santana:
I'm taking it off, ese.

J.D.:
That punk got you kicked back in the hole, set us all back. Now he's running around talking loud sh*t about how he wants out of La Eme. His number's up, homes.

Montoya Santana:
I said I'm taking it off, ese.

J.D.:
What's gonna happen is gonna happen. Don't try to stop it. You understand me? I'm asking you, carnal.

Montoya Santana:
Is that where it's gotten to, ese?

J.D.:
Brothers are talking about you.

Montoya Santana:
What are they saying, ese?

J.D.:
They're saying that you're not showing them anything.

Montoya Santana:
You know, a long time ago, two best homeboys, two kids, were thrown into juvie. They were scared, and they thought they had to do something to prove themselves. And they did what they had to do. They thought they were doing it to gain respect for their people, to show the world that no one could take their class from them. No one had to take it from us, ese. Whatever we had... we gave it away. Take care of yourself, carnal.
