Jack, we can work this out! Just let me out of here!

Hey, Jack! Thank you for a very pleasant day! Okay, I got no car, I got no money, and I'm going to fucking end the day off with this goddamn dope man's Uzi by my temple! Thank you, Jack! Look, this is Jack's day. Why don't you just let Jack shoot me? Save your bullet! Jack, why don't you shoot me? Shoot me, Jack!

A Bad Day Escalates into Confrontation
Reggie
All right, knock this shit off! I HAVE BEEN HAVING A VERY BAD DAY! I just got out of jail this morning! Already I've been shot at, I was on a bus that flipped over 17 times, bitch tried to stab me in the bathroom, and somebody blew up my Porsche! I am in a BAD goddamn mood! Now I usually don't jump in when somebody's getting beat down, but this man Jack Cates is going to help me straighten out the rest of my day! And I suggest you all back up, and let us go about our business!

Reggie
