You gonna bring in for a meeting like it. Okay, but it's time to get the time straight to like enterprise is will it bought us out?
Watch me
I know what you're gonna say before you say they're boarding just a water business
They're not only a water business they're holding company or foreign condomber if they care about the brand
Back in its records to be cared about the legacy if they didn't care why's their deal on the table a minute they buy us out
They'll drop all the new artists. We've been trying to develop
They'll pimp out our entire catalog for ten ponds and bi-aggra commercials
The Squead Harry drop
Black culture and artistic integrity that I spent the last 25 years of my life trying to build
And I'm not even talking about this
And then I a and a I owe you do they care about the music about our music
They are the future of music David. Yeah machines that compose music with no soul
No heart they want to keep you on and has an advice. I bet they do David. It's a lot of money
I know it's a lot of money. Do you? Yes, really? Yes
If we do this
We both will walk away with a very substantial sum
There's more to life
Than just making money
It's integrity. That's what you stand for. It's what you actually believe it
Well, I believe in the basic fact that it's called the music business for a reason
Business being the key word all money ain't good money badger
I know what you're gonna do. You're gonna vote. Yes when it comes down to the vote, huh? Yeah, and my opinion's time to sell I
Agree sell it to me what's so me
What is this that's a financial document a perspective on stacking its records
I had gave right up a formal offer for me to buy out your shares
You want to buy me a
Same deal you get from straight off and if I have your shares, I can control the bone
You understand the company business. Have you talked to the rest of the board? No, well if you didn't want to fill them in
Why did you sell five years ago to begin with at the time?
I thought it was a lucrative deal and it was an expensive mistake
I'm sorry my company's been going downhill ever since and I'm trying to take back control
And I'm trying to keep it quiet because if I tell palics they'll go across the street to straight dog and get a better
Often, you know, I can't compete with them in a bidding war
Yes, no, no, no
Doesn't feel right it doesn't have to feel right right depends upon your point of view and I came to you because I thought
We shared the same point of view. I guess I was wrong
Say yes
We could deal say yes say yes
Say yes
Say yes
Can you have the money ready before the vote? Yes, we can thank you brother
I
That's it
All right, all right pull the trigger pull trigger
My station, okay, damn you here. I'm in the kitchen. What are you doing home? I got three news
I'm back stacking his rabbits. They're right back second his rat just the controlling interest for not as well
Be able to veto to sale. Hey, man
You said this whole deal looks like a move
I mean every year be slowing down that would be off this rat race that we'd be traveling more once straight off to college
I changed my mind
When when I realized I was about to abandon the very thing that I took my entire adult life trying to build
This is why you didn't want us to write that check to the studio music today
That's why I married you girl and I apologize for not telling you that he didn't even know for sure at that time
I try to convince Patrick to vote against it, but he just didn't have a vision. Where are we getting the money?
That's tricky, but we'd take a loan out of a ten ounce and I wouldn't cash out on some of our stocks and bond or other
Investments, maybe sell off the sack. You want to take a loan out on our home
You're gonna cash out our stock some bonds for a record label that barely breaks even it's called the music business, baby
You know an immune business. You're always one hit away from being back on top and when I get controlling interest of
stacking its records will be back on top again. I can guarantee you that
Maybe some things I meant to go back to the way they were maybe they can't but that's supposed to me. I
darling
It just means
That maybe this whole thing is a sign that it's time to move on to the next chapter of our lives
Maybe I don't want to move it just feels like a risk
Ross everything I've ever done everything ever accomplished in my life with involving taking a risk even you
You think it wasn't risky for me when I saw you across the room at that party
Last year if you
Wanted to drink you don't think that was a risk you had just won a Grammy
It was your after party and Quincy Jones had just called you the future of music. I was still nervous
You know why I was nervous
That's because of how beautiful you were
You're still beautiful
All right, answer me this
Do you still love it?
I'm talking about the music David of course. I love it. You sure?
Because I remember when we first started dating
You would leave the studio downtown
You put your headphones on and you would walk
All the way over the Brooklyn Bridge to my apartment and I nearly broke up with you for it because you made us live for everything
But I would always forgive you
Because you would show up so excited. I mean all
Beaming over some new artist or a band you discovered
I mean you don't do that anymore
And when you talk about your work, it's
You know, it's always about how the music business has changed or how the internet has made it hard to stay on top of what works
But it is never
ever
And as you are loving silent partner
I will no longer be silent I
Will always be loving and supportive

I got it
Sorry to disturb you mr. King. I have a mr. Bathea downstairs to see you
He says he called a couple of times and no response so we set me up. Okay
I was trained man
Ah could be expected under the circumstances and
Kidnap is still wants to ransom says if I don't pay he's gonna kill Paul son
I don't pay up 17.5 million dollar mix up. He still wants you to pay. Yeah
I don't think I can
David, how can you not pay?
I'd pay number one out dealer's dead. I still have to sell off stack and his that's too much to ask
Sure, I don't see that you have much of a choice. Yeah, I got a choice is my money
What are people gonna say when you sacrifice Paul's kid to buy stack and his back
Shit scumptice shit complexity doesn't matter to John Republic of masses
You see how it is when an artist is canceled. Yeah
When social media finds out and you can bet your bottom dollar
They will find out that you abandon Paul's son. That's the whole label
The whole shebang the kit and kaboodle. That's it
You will be done and finished over and out canceled end of story
No, we don't know that for sure. We don't you sure about that? I mean, I mean, you're right. I mean, but
I can't even believe I'm gonna say this but
I
You know how things move so fast right now in the news
I mean, they'll be on to something else next week. It'll be another news cycle to David's story about another wars. What?
Do you hear what you say?
Yeah, I mean, I know what it sounds like but I'm just trying to be practical
Is it the chance you want to take? I just want to see you do what's right
Thank you
Gives up sleep. Yeah
What do you think people will say if we don't pay the ransom?
I think the important people in our life will understand the decision we make
No matter about the public
That it says we don't pay to that lash will ruin what's left in my career
Well, I guess that settles it then
What do you mean?
Earlier today, you were ready to risk your family security for second-hand. So I said this being different
Yeah, and the ice has got none to do it earlier now. It's all intertwined. It's everybody it's you. It's a second-hand
Kyle, Trey, Foll
Dude so much money. It's practically everything we have, isn't it?

They greatly admire what you did
But they don't want to be held responsible
Which is a that viral video that went global
You dropping 17, four and five million dollars from the four train. Okay, what about it?
The deal was contingent on you using that financing to buy back control of stacking hits records
Right, the deal is off
The deal is off
Like that, I mean I can come up with the money to pay the interest I can scroun that up
You know, you know, I'm a hustler man. I can hustle. Yeah, normally you could normally
Yeah, but this is on the app normal shit. You know, this is a breach of contract breach of contract. They're all fraud
Like FRAUD like prison prison jail
Damn, okay, talk to me
Well, the reason is because your investors
Negotiated a provision for use of proceeds that their investment
Has to be used for certain defined purposes
And that's buying back
stacking his records and they want their money back
Right, two weeks, two weeks. I didn't study two weeks two weeks two weeks
And after that they'll start collection
Process your pin house
You said Harvard home
Your boss gets all your hard work. You did a good thing and
It's not fair. I did a good thing, but I don't feel good
Gabe, how can I feel good? Make me feel good?
Hey, boy. Come on, man. No, I can't go out like this. You know that a man can't go out the same way

Let's do it. Let's do the damn thing
I
See well, I would have let you know sooner if I'd known but the cats in the bag and the bags in the East River
Who's in a what would he be? It's dead in the water. What do you mean dead?
After your unfortunate situation, I had a change of heart to I told stray dog enterprises were out
He killed a deal because what happened? Why your hero status has us back on the front page
Every artist in our catalog is seen to jump in sales. So it's like you always said attention is the only true currency now
They don't you know you're

We could be leaving on the table how much money we leave I look I need this money now like with an alacrity or quickness
I needed yesterday. I need the money now. Oh, I got it. Well
That's ironic. You certainly didn't need the money when you were trying to sabotage the deal two days ago Alex
I see
Patrick he told them didn't you you didn't leave me any choice
In the news about trade came out. Alex called me multiple times asking what I thought about what the attention we were getting
So the two of you's discussed the attention we were getting from my son be kidnapped stop
It wasn't like that was it like it's a good thing. He wasn't killed shot now. Could have got rich then David nice house in the Hampton

You gonna bring in for a meeting like it. Okay, but it's time to get the time straight to like enterprise is will it bought us out?
Watch me
I know what you're gonna say before you say they're boarding just a water business
They're not only a water business they're holding company or foreign condomber if they care about the brand
Back in its records to be cared about the legacy if they didn't care why's their deal on the table a minute they buy us out
They'll drop all the new artists. We've been trying to develop
They'll pimp out our entire catalog for ten ponds and bi-aggra commercials
The Squead Harry drop
Black culture and artistic integrity that I spent the last 25 years of my life trying to build
And I'm not even talking about this
And then I a and a I owe you do they care about the music about our music
They are the future of music David. Yeah machines that compose music with no soul
No heart they want to keep you on and has an advice. I bet they do David. It's a lot of money
I know it's a lot of money. Do you? Yes, really? Yes
If we do this
We both will walk away with a very substantial sum
There's more to life
Than just making money
It's integrity. That's what you stand for. It's what you actually believe it
Well, I believe in the basic fact that it's called the music business for a reason
Business being the key word all money ain't good money badger
I know what you're gonna do. You're gonna vote. Yes when it comes down to the vote, huh? Yeah, and my opinion's time to sell I
Agree sell it to me what's so me
What is this that's a financial document a perspective on stacking its records
I had gave right up a formal offer for me to buy out your shares
You want to buy me a
Same deal you get from straight off and if I have your shares, I can control the bone
You understand the company business. Have you talked to the rest of the board? No, well if you didn't want to fill them in
Why did you sell five years ago to begin with at the time?
I thought it was a lucrative deal and it was an expensive mistake
I'm sorry my company's been going downhill ever since and I'm trying to take back control
And I'm trying to keep it quiet because if I tell palics they'll go across the street to straight dog and get a better
Often, you know, I can't compete with them in a bidding war
Yes, no, no, no
Doesn't feel right it doesn't have to feel right right depends upon your point of view and I came to you because I thought
We shared the same point of view. I guess I was wrong
Say yes
We could deal say yes say yes
Say yes
Say yes
Can you have the money ready before the vote? Yes, we can thank you brother
I
That's it
All right, all right pull the trigger pull trigger
My station, okay, damn you here. I'm in the kitchen. What are you doing home? I got three news
I'm back stacking his rabbits. They're right back second his rat just the controlling interest for not as well
Be able to veto to sale. Hey, man
You said this whole deal looks like a move
I mean every year be slowing down that would be off this rat race that we'd be traveling more once straight off to college
I changed my mind
When when I realized I was about to abandon the very thing that I took my entire adult life trying to build
This is why you didn't want us to write that check to the studio music today
That's why I married you girl and I apologize for not telling you that he didn't even know for sure at that time
I try to convince Patrick to vote against it, but he just didn't have a vision. Where are we getting the money?
That's tricky, but we'd take a loan out of a ten ounce and I wouldn't cash out on some of our stocks and bond or other
Investments, maybe sell off the sack. You want to take a loan out on our home
You're gonna cash out our stock some bonds for a record label that barely breaks even it's called the music business, baby
You know an immune business. You're always one hit away from being back on top and when I get controlling interest of
stacking its records will be back on top again. I can guarantee you that
Maybe some things I meant to go back to the way they were maybe they can't but that's supposed to me. I
darling
It just means
That maybe this whole thing is a sign that it's time to move on to the next chapter of our lives
Maybe I don't want to move it just feels like a risk
Ross everything I've ever done everything ever accomplished in my life with involving taking a risk even you
You think it wasn't risky for me when I saw you across the room at that party
Last year if you
Wanted to drink you don't think that was a risk you had just won a Grammy
It was your after party and Quincy Jones had just called you the future of music. I was still nervous
You know why I was nervous
That's because of how beautiful you were
You're still beautiful
All right, answer me this
Do you still love it?
I'm talking about the music David of course. I love it. You sure?
Because I remember when we first started dating
You would leave the studio downtown
You put your headphones on and you would walk
All the way over the Brooklyn Bridge to my apartment and I nearly broke up with you for it because you made us live for everything
But I would always forgive you
Because you would show up so excited. I mean all
Beaming over some new artist or a band you discovered
I mean you don't do that anymore
And when you talk about your work, it's
You know, it's always about how the music business has changed or how the internet has made it hard to stay on top of what works
But it is never
ever
And as you are loving silent partner
I will no longer be silent I
Will always be loving and supportive

Ah could be expected under the circumstances and
Kidnap is still wants to ransom says if I don't pay he's gonna kill Paul son
I don't pay up 17.5 million dollar mix up. He still wants you to pay. Yeah
I don't think I can
David, how can you not pay?
I'd pay number one out dealer's dead. I still have to sell off stack and his that's too much to ask
Sure, I don't see that you have much of a choice. Yeah, I got a choice is my money
What are people gonna say when you sacrifice Paul's kid to buy stack and his back
Shit scumptice shit complexity doesn't matter to John Republic of masses
You see how it is when an artist is canceled. Yeah
When social media finds out and you can bet your bottom dollar
They will find out that you abandon Paul's son. That's the whole label
The whole shebang the kit and kaboodle. That's it
You will be done and finished over and out canceled end of story
No, we don't know that for sure. We don't you sure about that? I mean, I mean, you're right. I mean, but
I can't even believe I'm gonna say this but
I
You know how things move so fast right now in the news
I mean, they'll be on to something else next week. It'll be another news cycle to David's story about another wars. What?

Is it the chance you want to take? I just want to see you do what's right
Thank you
Gives up sleep. Yeah
What do you think people will say if we don't pay the ransom?
I think the important people in our life will understand the decision we make
No matter about the public
That it says we don't pay to that lash will ruin what's left in my career
Well, I guess that settles it then
What do you mean?
Earlier today, you were ready to risk your family security for second-hand. So I said this being different

They greatly admire what you did
But they don't want to be held responsible
Which is a that viral video that went global
You dropping 17, four and five million dollars from the four train. Okay, what about it?
The deal was contingent on you using that financing to buy back control of stacking hits records
Right, the deal is off
The deal is off
Like that, I mean I can come up with the money to pay the interest I can scroun that up
You know, you know, I'm a hustler man. I can hustle. Yeah, normally you could normally
Yeah, but this is on the app normal shit. You know, this is a breach of contract breach of contract. They're all fraud
Like FRAUD like prison prison jail
Damn, okay, talk to me
Well, the reason is because your investors
Negotiated a provision for use of proceeds that their investment
Has to be used for certain defined purposes
And that's buying back
stacking his records and they want their money back
Right, two weeks, two weeks. I didn't study two weeks two weeks two weeks
And after that they'll start collection
Process your pin house
You said Harvard home
Your boss gets all your hard work. You did a good thing and
It's not fair. I did a good thing, but I don't feel good
Gabe, how can I feel good? Make me feel good?

See well, I would have let you know sooner if I'd known but the cats in the bag and the bags in the East River

After your unfortunate situation, I had a change of heart to I told stray dog enterprises were out
He killed a deal because what happened? Why your hero status has us back on the front page
Every artist in our catalog is seen to jump in sales. So it's like you always said attention is the only true currency now

We could be leaving on the table how much money we leave I look I need this money now like with an alacrity or quickness
I needed yesterday. I need the money now. Oh, I got it. Well
That's ironic. You certainly didn't need the money when you were trying to sabotage the deal two days ago Alex
I see
Patrick he told them didn't you you didn't leave me any choice
In the news about trade came out. Alex called me multiple times asking what I thought about what the attention we were getting
So the two of you's discussed the attention we were getting from my son be kidnapped stop
