Hey. That's that the dude from that show. - Hey! Hey! - Oh, shit! That's fucking cool. I hate that show. But I never noticed that, uh, room. What... what is that? The VIP room. What the hell is a place like this doing with a VIP room? I used to be in there all the time. Well, what qualifies a person to be VIP? Well, you need the password. And this week it's "upscale elegance." Actually, every week it's "upscale elegance." - I'm goin'. - Where the fuck you going?

Man, I ain't got no white voice. Oh, come on, you know what I mean, youngblood. You have a white voice in there, you can use it. It's like when you get pulled over by the police. Oh, no. I just use my regular voice when that happens. I just say, "Back the fuck up off the car and don't nobody get hurt!" All right, man, I'm just trying to give you some game. You wanna make some money here? Then read the script with a white voice.

Okay, so like... "Hello, Mr. Everet. Cassius Green here. - Sorry to bother you"... - Nah, man. Look, you got it wrong. I'm not talking about sounding all nasal. It's, like, sounding like you don't have a care. Got your bills paid. You're happy about your future. You about ready to jump in your Ferrari out there after you get off this call. Put some real breath in there. Breezy like... "I don't really need this money." You've never been fired. Only laid off.
