Theo:Did you get my message?

Dad: Yes, what’s the issue?

Theo:I’m gonna get rid of

this motherfucker, Vince.

Dad:What? Why?

Theo:He’s overstepping with Carmen.

I talked to him about it once,

and since I can’t put my hands on him,

this feels like the best step forward.

Dad:…You’re still seeing the law student?

Theo:Yes, I am.

Dad:And you’re gonna fire Vince

‘cause he’s overstepping with her.

Theo:Yes, I am. Where am I losing you?

Dad:Right around where you lost your damn mind.

I rolled my eyes.

Theo:My mind’s made up.

That motherfucker has got to go.

Dad:He’s the best with the clients,

and you wanna fire him over a woman.

What the fuck did he even do?

Theo:He wants her. I can tell.

Dad:Well, it’s the price of having

a woman like that, son.

You better get used to it.

Theo:Not in my fucking place of business.

Dad:Correction.

It’smyplace of business until I retire,

which ain’t happening for another five years.

So you and him better play nice.
