- Michael Casey: You see Mr. Bookman I'm afraid that is your legacy to Gary, so don't be coming in here waving that little cigar around and blaming us and telling us it's our fault.
- Mayor: My own father worked in the steel mills and he got himself killed on the job and the company settlement put me through law school and I came back, now where were you all these year's.

- Mayor: The Reverend serves as a intermediary between the gang's.
- John Bookman: What are you tryna tell me your gonna negotiate with these punk's?

- Blood: Mr. Bookman, Mr. Trevor it's time we neighbor's met.
- John Bookman: Let me explain something to you my brother, just because Damien's dead doesn't mean you can move in, I won't be that far away.
- Jake Trevor: I'm back home blood,

- Jake Trevor: and I'm working with him, just so you know.
- Blood: Well, there goes the neighborhood.
- Spyro: [to dink] I know you don't I?
- Dink: Yeah I'm the word man, man. I know what's happening on the streets.
- Damien: Ha,the word-man huh,
- [looks and smiles at Spyro]
- Damien: so what's the word on the street?
- Dink: Lose the cougar they're looking for it, the old man from the grocery store he gave y'all up.
- Spyro: Not mr. Bookman?
- Dink: Thought you'd wanna know.
- Spyro: That's my favorite fuckin store,
- [to Damien]
- Spyro: why'd he do that shit,man?
- Damien: Cause he's fucked up like that.
- Spyro: [to Dink] what's your angle?
- Dink: I live on the streets and sometimes I get messed with.
- Damien: [to Dink] You know something we don't want you to worry about that anymore, ain't nobody ever going to mess with you again, you're one of us now.
- Kayo: Oh thanks for the tip Rev, we won't never forget this here.
- Reverend Dorsey: You got all their Hardware they're not a threat to you anymore why don't you just let him go.
- Kayo: no I'll tell you what,why don't you run home AND PRAY FOR THEIR ASSE'S, and you did good okay.
- Jake Trevor: Well look like the Reverend did his job right well I guess we better do ours, hey you take care of yourself okay.
- Laurie Thompson: Baby you coming back?
- Jake Trevor: you know I'm coming back I'm home now.
- Spyro: Well, Well look at that somebody famous, can I have your autograph mr. Bookman please? This Market is confiscated property it's ours now.
- Damien: You know this used to be my favorite grocery store, and you know when I was a kid I would come here and your father would give me a fresh slice of Bologna I really liked it there so I stayed off his ass I protected him and how does he show his appreciation this is a very sad day John Bookman!
- John Bookman: Well I just cancelled your charge account.
- Spyro: You don't want to end up like your poppa, starting something you can't finish.
- John Bookman: That ain't never been my style brother.
- Bubba: [opening narration] You're looking at Gary, Indiana, USA. A city with the highest murder rate in America, maybe the world. A factory town that somehow became a gang town. Back in the '50s, the community was supported by the US Steel Mill. It was damn hard work, but people raised their families well. Then just 20 years later, without warning, US Steel shut down 70% of the mill. At first the workers thought it was temporary. But it wasn't. Their savings went, unemployment ran out and slowly the former steel workers lost the last two things they had left, their pride and their hope. And that has been the inheritance of the children of Gary. This was the Palace movie theater. The last movie that played here was Star Wars. Thats the bakery. It used to make the best damn glazed and chocolate donuts in town. Thats where Hanes Restaurant once stood. They had the best barbecue ribs. This is the Memorial Auditorium, home of two state basketball championships. More than 350,000 back then. Now there's only 150,000 left that still call Gary their home. This abandoned steel mill is now headquarters to a gang called the Diablos. And the old train depot is a hangout for their rivals the Rebels.
- Rebel gang member #1: Yo, Damien, here's this kid you was looking for.
- Rebel gang member #2: Yeah, and his ass had $1, 5000 on him.
- Dink: Man, that money don't mean shit, I can always get cream! I'm a businessman, man! For real, Damien. I got information anything you want to know. I tell you, man, about Spyro, Kayo, that bitch Princess. Anybody, man. We can work as a team, for real. We can get money, man. That's what I'm talkin' about.
- Damien: This is very disappointing. We've shown you nothing but love, Dink. And respect because we care about you. We've always cared about you.
- Dink: Say, man, what is this coming to though?
- Damien: This is what this is comin' to
- [breaks Dinks neck]
- Damien: sleep well little word man.
- Michael Casey: On behalf of the Mayor and myself, I'd like to thank each and every one of you for comin' here to this house of worship to try and settle matters regarding this serious and tragic situation. Now I will be leaving you in the privacy of the good Reverend Dorsey, who will mediate all sides. And if I can be of any help, I'll be right outside.
- Reverend Dorsey: Thank you Mr. Casey.
- Michael Casey: You're welcome.
- Reverend Dorsey: You know I've known the Bookmans for as long as I've been here. I've known Laurie Thompson here since she was what this high. Spy, Damien, see, I know your folks. And the rest of you, I know all your cousins, your aunts, your brothers and sisters. So I'm standing in the middle here. I am the mediator. So let's talk. Let's see if we can't stop this thing.
- Spyro: If the old man keeps his mouth shut, we'll call it done.
- Reverend Dorsey: Short, sweet and simple. Done is done, fact is fact and God's truth is the truth!
- John Bookman: That's why we're here Reverend. I want to know the truth. Who shot my father?
- Spyro: I thought we were being serious, Reverend! I don't want no jokes.
- Reverend Dorsey: Now, damage was done on both sides. Marvin Bookman did the wrong thing, but the retaliation was the wrong thing, too.
- Gracie Bookman: Just a minute. My husband didn't do anything wrong. These animals killed her son in front of our store.
- Kayo: Hold up. You don't know nothin' about that shit, bitch.
- John Bookman: That's pretty tough talk coming from a faggot like you who don't even know what sex his mother is.
- Reverend Dorsey: Johnny, please.
- Damien: Now, Reverend, this was our deal, but I'm going to throw this in the pot, and that's going to be it. Our boy, he missed his shot. And we don't miss many. Now if that old man can keep his fuckin' mouth shut then maybe, just maybe you'll be able to survive on our streets.
- Gracie Bookman: Burn in hell! Who do You think you are? You're nothing more than the dog shit we wash up from our sidewalks in the morning!
- Reverend Dorsey: Gracie, please.
- Gracie Bookman: Oh, quit this, Reverend. What kind of a deal is this? We spend our lifetime working and striving for goodness. And you sell us out to him? And here's our deal. I want everyone involved to turn themselves into the police. And I want the boy who shot my husband to confess. And maybe, just maybe, we'll let you survive.
- Damien: I'm out of here.
- [the rebels leave]
- Michael Casey: No you can't just walk out. What the hell happened here?
- Reverend Dorsey: I think World War lll was declared.
- Spyro: You requested our presence?
- Reverend Dorsey: Yes, the mayor called me today.
- Damien: And how is our friend, the mayor?
- Reverend Dorsey: He's very upset. Especially over this grocery store business.
- Spyro: Oh, yeah. I heard somethin' about that. I heard the old man had a chattery side.
- Reverend Dorsey: Now Marvin Bookman is an old man. You know that sometimes old men make mistakes.
- [They all sit down]
- Damien: Old men better learn, Reverend.
- Reverend Dorsey: Well, sometimes we have to reach deep within ourselves to find forgiveness. Perhaps I should also mention that Johnny Bookman is a very high profile person?
- Spyro: I met the great man. I wasn't impressed.
- Reverend Dorsey: The media, brothers. Now it's going to be very hard to do business in a goldfish bowl. And the Mayor can't keep looking the other way forever.
- Spyro: So shine him on. And get Bookman on a plane out of here! Is that your sermon of the day?
- Reverend Dorsey: Look... I'm just trying to keep peace in the community.
- Spyro: As always, you make good sense, Reverend. The Rebs will talk to the family. What else do you get out of this.
- Reverend Dorsey: Well, I am negotiating for an expansion of my homeless shelter. Perhaps a gesture of brotherly love certainly wouldn't hurt my efforts, huh? So we'll call a truce. And you don't have to worry about Johnny Bookman. He understands the streets.
- Damien: [getting up] Sure. Brotherly love, Reverend.
- Spyro: Don't forget to put us up for that Nobel prize.
- [They leave the chapel]
- Spyro: Haven't seen you in a while, Bobby. Where you been?
- Bobby: I been around. You know me. I'm always taking care of business.
- Damien: Bobby, explain something to me. How in the fuck can you miss hitting a man in the head at point blank range?
- Bobby: I thought I hit him!
- Kayo: I don't know what all this punk shit about anyway! Since when do we change how the fuck we do things.
- Spyro: Kayo, you get a message over to Reverend Dorsey. You let him know nothing's going to happen to the Bookman family. That's my word.
- Kayo: What about all the other suckers in the community.
- Spyro: Only the Bookmans.
- Kayo: I say we bust out the steel, we take out the whole motherfucking family, we take away our problems! We wait, wel'l lose.
- Spyro: Hey, chill, my brother.
- Kayo: Word on the street that the Diablos and the Rangers say we can't control our hood! What, you wana be in the middle of a war over this punk shit?
- Bobby: [Spyro picks up a gun] Yo, what's up with the gun? What's up with the gun, man? I can't go out like that, man!
- [Spyro put the gun to Bobby's head]
- Bobby: No! You don't need to do this, man! No!
- [He shoots and kills Bobby]
- Kayo: Fuck, yeah! Punk-ass nigger.
- Bubba: Hey. Hey, Johnny. Hey man I don't want your damn autograph. It's me, man. You come back here looking for a fresh mark to hustle or what?
- John Bookman: Hey, Bubba. Is that you man? All right.
- Bubba: Yeah, it's me. Still here. I've aged a little bit, but so have you. You better suck that gut in.
- John Bookman: [laughing] No, no. Tell me somethin' man. How is Uncle Benny?
- Bubba: Oh, well, Uncle Benny, he closed his candy store down a while back and then died a few weeks later. I guess of nothing to do.
- John Bookman: Whoa, I'm sorry.
- Bubba: Didn't your folks write you about it?
- John Bookman: I don't know, man, they could have. I just don't remember, that's all.
- Bubba: Oh, I see. I haven't seen you back here at all, man.
- John Bookman: No, no, I've been back.
- Bubba: Well, quickly to see your parents, you know, fly in the morning and then leave right back out at night? That way you don't have to run into us, right?
- John Bookman: Come on. Come on man, what's the big deal? I mean I'm here, all right?
- Bubba: Yeah, you're here. Well, look, did you think it was going to be like it was? I mean you and us Rebels running around drinking, screwing all around the place. You thought it was going to be like that, huh? Well it ain't gonna be like it was, Johnny, 'cause you all left. We ain't got enough people left here to take care of this place. Not even. You should've come back once in a while, Johnny.
- John Bookman: Come on, man. I don't get it. Huh? What's here for you? I mean if you had any sense, you'd get out too.
- Bubba: Oh, man! You goin' back again tomorrow and frankly, I don't give a fuck what you think. Fuck you, motherfucker.
- [He walks off]
- Jake Trevor: [after capturing Dink who overheard them] What're we gonna to do with this little punk?
- John Bookman: I don't know. Since he heard our plans, maybe we ought to just kill him.
- Jake Trevor: You know, I was thinking about shooting him myself.
- Laurie Thompson: [scoffs] We can't shoot him in a community rec center. Besides, we got to make it look like it's an accident
- Dink: Y'all don't scare me. I'm a Reb.
- John Bookman: Oh, man, you ain't no Reb. They wouldn't let us squirt like you in the Rebs. We know because we started it.
- Dink: [scoffing] Yeah, when there were still dinosaurs.
- John Bookman: You got a big mouth.
- Dink: You don't know nothing, man!
- John Bookman: You know everything, right?
- Dink: I know you're going to die with that dumb-ass plan.
- Jake Trevor: [grabs him in a threatening way] Hey kid, don't you be talking about nobody dying! Now, you just take it easy.
- Laurie Thompson: So, a little war wouldn't bother you, huh?
- Dink: I ain't got no love for anyone. I'm a businessman, my brothers and sister. It's all fair.
- John Bookman: Yeah well, why don't you come help us be more fair?
- Dink: I might be interested for a price.
- John Bookman: Okay, then. How about some guns, ammunition, explosives, that kind of thing?
- Dink: Coach, a man who earns what you do can afford the best. And I know where to get you the best.
- Jake Trevor: Man, you can't trust him.
- Dink: Yes, you can. Sure you can.
- Jake Trevor: He's gonna sell you out.
- Dink: Wait. Now just hear me out. I gotta tell you something. I did something I wish I hadn't have. I heard that cop saying he had a license number he got from your father. I was the one who ratted him out to Spyro. About a minute after I opened my mouth, I wish I hadn't have. I'm sorry, man. I wanna make it up.
- John Bookman: All right. Chill.
- Dink: Still gonna cost you though.
- John Bookman: Yeah, well like you said I can afford it.
- Dink: It's only going to take me about a few hours to set up this buy. But I'm talking 12, 15 G's now. Cash. All in hundreds. 10% of that sticks to me. My commission.
- Jake Trevor: All right, you got a contract. An enforceable one.
- Dink: It's as good as done
- John Bookman: Yeah.
- Jake Trevor: [grabs Dink as he's walking out; to John] Hey, wait a minute! I hope you know what you're doing
- Laurie Thompson: [as Dink leaves] He's gonna to go straight to Spyro.
- John Bookman: No, no, at 10% commission I don't think so. All right.
- Jake Trevor: Hello, Laurie.
- Laurie Thompson: Jake.
- Jake Trevor: You know you looked pretty good over there.
- Laurie Thompson: Thanks. It's everything you taught me.
- Jake Trevor: Yeah. Got a little time for some conversation?
- Laurie Thompson: Yeah. It's long overdue.
- Jake Trevor: Come on. You know it's a little awkward for me. I mean coming back this way and all. Under these conditions.
- Laurie Thompson: Yeah. Well you missed a lot not knowing Kenny. You know he was a lot like you. Headstrong. Full of his own ways about things. Basketball was his life. He was gonna be a big star. He had a plan just like you.
- Jake Trevor: Yeah, I was gonna be heavyweight champ of the world.
- Laurie Thompson: Oh, and I knew you could do it.
- Jake Trevor: Did you?
- Laurie Thompson: No doubt in my mind.
- Jake Trevor: You never let me know.
- Laurie Thompson: That's why I had to let you go.
- Jake Trevor: Let me go, Laurie? You let me go? Come on, Laurie. Let me go?
- Laurie Thompson: Jake I didn't wanna get in the way of your dreams. You would've never, never forgiven me for it. And it would've killed whatever we had.
- Jake Trevor: Yeah, it's just like me. Killing things, huh.
- Laurie Thompson: Jake, I read all about that in the papers. It wasn't your fault. Those things happen to boxers. You took a chance. It could've been you.
- Jake Trevor: You know, it was never the same after that. I thought about a comeback, but comeback from what? I was a failure, all around failure. I failed myself, I failed you. I couldn't even face up to you. Especially after how you sent me away.
- Laurie Thompson: Kenny knew all about you. Oh, he had an album of all your fights, and he knew you hadn't forgotten us and that, you know, you tried to send us some money. And he loved you. He loved you. I made sure of that.
- Jake Trevor: But I never heard from him.
- Laurie Thompson: He... He wanted to wait until he was all grown up. He wanted you to know him as a man and as a friend.
- Jake Trevor: I don't know what to say, baby.
- Laurie Thompson: You don't have to say anything.
- Jake Trevor: Come here. Come here.
- [Embraces her as she starts to cry]
- John Bookman: [shows them the huge collection of firearms] Look at that. The kid came through. I checked them out. They work.
- Jake Trevor: Well, looks like you were right this time, huh?
- John Bookman: What do you mean, "this time"? And I carried these up all by myself while you guys were out there holding hands.
- Marvin Bookman: [some Rebel gang members come into his store] The money's still in the till, go on and get it.
- Kayo: Oh, see it ain't about the money! Hell, no! You see I can make more money in a day than you can make in a lifetime, old man. By the way what's this old punk shit I'm hearin' you done talk to the police about us?
- Marvin Bookman: I just told 'em where that boy's mother lived.
- Rebel gang member #3: He's lying. He gave us up.
- Kayo: Oh, why would you do some shit like that old man? We ain't never did nothin' to your store. We left your ass alone. We paid for everything we took! You see what I'm saying? You shouldn't even get involved in this type of shit here.
- Rebel gang member #3: Not much here all man.
- [Empties register]
- Kayo: Every other store around here get hit but you. We respected you. And look what the fuck you do to us!
- Marvin Bookman: Did to you? Why is it always what somebody's doing to you?
- Kayo: Oh, it don't matter no more 'cause you done fucked up
- [knocks him down]
- Kayo: you see that's what America's missing today. Balls!
- Marvin Bookman: [as he gets off the ground] it takes a lot to shoot a boy down in a phone booth, doesn't it?
- Kayo: This man right here? He got big, humongous balls!
- Rebel gang member #3: [grabs Marvin threateningly by the neck] Say you fuckin' sorry, man. Fuckin' customer's always right.
- [Marvin hits him in the neck with a bottle causing him to bleed profusely]
- Rebel gang member #3: Ah, shit, man!
- Kayo: [punches Marvin twice in the face causing him to fall down and starts to kick him] How's your ass feel now? Feeling any pain? Big pain, huh? Take some aspirin. Some pain relievers. Feel the pain?
- [Pulls out handgun]
- Kayo: Fuck this old motherfucker! Better yet, Bobby! Bring your motherfuckin' ass over here!
- Bobby: Man, it ain't even going on like that.
- Kayo: Man, you want to be a Rebel or not, motherfucker? Come on over here, man! You going to bust his caps up in his ass, you hear me?
- Bobby: Hey, look at his ass.
- Kayo: You want to get your stripes for a Rebel or what?
- Bobby: [takes handgun] Fuck it, man.
- Kayo: Kill that motherfucker by and by.
- Bobby: It's initiation day. You are old, man. You gonna die soon anyway.
- Kayo: Quit all that bullshit over there and you just pop his old ass!
- Bobby: I'm God!
- Marvin Bookman: You're nothin'!
- Bobby: It's time to cross the line, baby!
- Kayo: Man didn't I tell you about that? If you don't do that shit, I'm gonna take that gun back and pop your motherfucking ass! You hear me? I said pop his ass!
- [Bobby shoots and seemingly kills Marvin; smiling]
- Kayo: Come on, bring your ass off so we can get the fuck up out of here.
