All you see around you, through the good times and the bad, has been built through these relationships.
Knowing who to talk to, who to bribe, who to confront, who to punish.
Through all those relationships, you know what I value most?
I promise to keep a deal we struck.
I promise to keep your mouth shut.
I promise to be there on time.
I promise to pay me back where you owe me.
A man's word is his power.
And I never go back on mine.
Well, between you and me and the walls, your reputation on the street is very different.
I'll fool you what the streets think.
This town isn't run by thugs.
It's bartered and borrowed.
It's shared and split.
It's benefiting all the right people, and all that falls apart.
If my word can't be trusted.
I want the streets to think I'd shoot you dead rather than make a deal, because the streets are filled with people like you.
