A Soul Assassins Tale

[Store owner]

This the kid, Sonny

Don't frighten him

[Man, Alchemist]

How you doing, kid?

Good

We finally meet face-to-face

Yeah

Are you afraid of me?

No

That's good. What's your name?

Alchemist

(Laughter) That's a big name. You got a nickname or somethin'?

No

What do your friends call you?

Alchemist

What are you a Laker fan?

Yeah

Sit down. Come over here, sit over here next to me. So you must be pretty upset the Lakers lost last year

I hate 'em. They made Kobe Bryant cry. The paper said he was crying

Kobe Bryant? Is that what you're upset about? Kobe Bryant makes twelve millions dollars a year. How much does your father make?

I don't know

You don't know? See if your father can't pay the rent, go ask Kobe Bryant. See what he tells you. Kobe Bryant don't care about you. So why should you care about him? (Laughing) Nobody cares, kid

Can I ask you something?

Sure

Did you shoot that man over a parking space?

When you get older you'll understand

From that day on, I never felt the same way about the Lakers again
