Last Friday; I got fired for the first time.I got high for the first time.I got shot at for the first time and I kicked Debo's ass for the first time... They get him to his feet; but he stumbles and falls in the bushes like a knocked out prize fighter.The sheriffs laugh at him. Debo looks dazed and confused.The sheriffs help him out the bushes and start to cuff him. CRAIG (cont'd) (V.O.) I was the man that night; and Debo ended up going to jail for a couple of years. But he told Ezal he was getting out next Friday.He said, when he see me, he was gonna smoke me on the spot... They walk him OUT OF FRAME... FADE TO BLACK. OVER BLACK: CRAIG (cont'd) (V.O.)
