[A security guard has spotted Marlo shoplifting lollipops at the corner store]

Security Guard:
The f***? You think I dream of coming to work up in this sh*t on a Sunday morning? Tell all my friends what a good job I got? I'm working to support a family, man. [Marlo looks away] Pretend I ain't talking to you. Pretend like I ain't even on this earth. I know what you are. Now, I ain't stepping to, but I am a man. And you just clip that sh*t and act like you don't even know I'm there.

Marlo Stanfield:
I don't. [unwraps a stolen lollipop, throws wrapper on the ground]

Security Guard:
I'm here. [Marlo moves closer to him] Look, I told you I ain't stepping to. I ain't disrespecting you, son.

Marlo Stanfield:
You want it to be one way.

Security Guard:
What?

Marlo Stanfield:
You want it to be one way.

Security Guard:
Man, I don't want it to be --

Marlo Stanfield:
You want it to be one way.

Security Guard:
[losing temper] Man, stop -- [pulls himself together] Stop saying that.

Marlo Stanfield:
But it's the other way.
