I've structured it as a corporation where I'm at the top under Sammy the Bull.
His son's running at a street level.
I'm not handling anything anymore.
I'm living in a million-dollar house on the side of a mountain.
And the boss called me into his office the next day and said, look, Sean, you're at a crossroads in your life right now.
And I didn't listen to him.
So I was born in a chemical manufacturing town in between Liverpool and Manchester.
And I was a studious person, but my best friend was a maniac.
He's dead now.
His name's Wildman, RIP Wildman.
So we were in separate schools.
In his school, he grew really big.
he started picking school teachers up and putting them in rubbish bins and they were so scared of him they had him outside raking leaves with the caretaker he had red dots in his head telling him to hurt people and as a teenager he'd go and fight the doorman at the bars in my hometown and he'd show up at my house just black and blue like a train had hit him but he loved it so we were complete opposites
this is important because when he comes to america after his prison sentence he opens the door into the world of gangsters for me because i'm not a gangster i'm a nerdy guy who had gangsteritis watched too many movies like scarface etc and got excited by being around those types of people so at the top of my town we were just kids there's a quarry
It's called Pexil Quarry, and there's a tree overlooking the quarry.
So me, Wildman, and Wildman's cousin Hammy would sit on this tree.
We called it the Thinking Tree.
And we'd be like, what are you gonna do when you grow up kind of thing?
So Jaime would say to Wildman, what are you gonna do?
And Wildman would say, I'm gonna go to prison.
