45. and painted this mural.

46. They got some green off of that.

47. Yo, I don't hang out with those guys.

49. And then I saw your female with them, too.

50. What's up with her?

51. I've been hearing that she's been giving that stuff out

52. to all them graffiti guys.

53. Yo, shut the fuck up, Chico, man.

54. I could paint three of those murals

55. for some of that ass.

56. Yo, you wouldn't have a chance in a million, chump.

57. Oh, shit.

58. So, that's Zoro.

59. Way up there, by the true blue.

78. All right.

79. Yo, man. Wait up, I just wanna talk to you, man.

80. I wanna talk to you about the Union.

81. What about the Union?

82. I don't wanna talk about those guys.

83. These guys are making a lot of money, man.

84. I think you should be down with this.

85. The guy who paid them is only around at night,

86. when the place opens up.

87. This big black dude, uh,

88. I think his name is Phade.

89. Oh, shit! Phade?

90. I know that guy.

91. Yo, this is only the beginning

92. of what the Union guys are gonna do for money.

93. 'Cause when this article comes out—

94. What article? Yo, this lady reporter,

95. her name is Virginia.

96. She's coming to interview them tomorrow, at the Dixie Mural.

97. If she's doing something on the Union,

98. then obviously, she's gonna do,

99. like, their pictures,

100. and they don't even got whole cars rollin'.

101. They don't even know what whole car is.

102. The lady said that some museum

103. might be interested in their work.

104. What work?

105. They're doing graffiti, on canvas.

106. So now they're making graffiti on canvas?

107. Graffiti ain't canvases.

108. Graffiti's on the trains and on the walls.

109. And they ain't got nothing to talk about.

110. Ah!

111. I like that.

112. Completely brand-new.

113. And being a graffiti writer

114. is taking the chances and shit.

115. Taking the risks.

116. Taking, like, all the arguments from the transit,

117. from the police, from your own mom, you know.

118. From your friends and shit.

119. You know, you gotta take all that bullshit.

120. "Ah, you're vandalizing on the street."

121. I remember when Butch and Kase

122. were really bombing with nice whole cars.

123. And Pnut and Tracy was king of the D's.

124. And Caine 1 was really whole-carring

125. on the damn 7 line.

126. Oh, shit. That looks brand-new

127. with the windows and all.

128. That's the newest stuff I've seen.

129. How can you call people that hang out in windows

130. and watch trains riders, man?

131. You gotta write. You gotta do the action, man, you know?

132. You gotta go out there, rack up!

133. You gotta go out and paint.

134. And be called an outlaw at the same time.

135. Yo, Phade is in there?

136. - Hey, my man. - My main man.

137. How are you, man?

138. Hey, man. - It's good to see you, man.

144. And I'm like runnin' things, you know what I'm sayin'.

145. Yeah. - I'm chillin' most, man.

146. Bein' a host, coast to coast.

147. You know what I'm sayin'.

148. Remember that night, we had to climb

149. on top of the train, right?

150. And the train pulled out?

151. Yeah, it's okay, man.

152. I'm still painting though, man.

153. Yeah, man. You got them nice

154. Zoro whole cars runnin'.

155. Yo, yo.

156. You gotta keep that quiet, man.

157. But I know the deal.

158. Man, you doin' this incredible wild style stuff.

159. That's why I was like, so happy

160. to see you do that piece outside, man.

161. Nah, I didn't do that, man.

172. I said it's always that red and never that black.

173. So, watch it, chase it, see where I place it.

174. Always the red, never that black.

175. When you find the black, you get nothin' back.

176. Find the red, you get paid on the head.

177. It's this one, is it?

178. Yo, man. You see, man?

179. I'm losing already, man.

579. They'll love it.

580. I had no idea what these people were talking about.

581. It was out of the blue.

582. And I'm sure you would have felt the same way

583. if you'd been unlucky enough—

584. Hey, how you doin'?

585. Excuse me for interruptin'.

586. I'm Phade.

587. I came down with Virginia.

597. What's, what's the name of it?

598. - The Whitley. - Really?

599. Can I call you Zoro?

600. No, no. It'll be better off if you just call me Raymond.

601. Raymond, you can't paint them in the subway stations.

602. Well, graffiti has its own spots.

603. You need special places? Like, at night,

604. you have to sneak in?

605. You can say that.

606. Well, if you work in the dark,

607. how can you see what you're painting?

608. Well, I can't see what I'm painting,

609. but I do know what I'm drawing.

610. And I know my colors by heart already.

611. You ever get chased?

612. - Caught? - Yeah.

613. I've gotten chased so many times,

614. but the knuckleheads never got to catch me, you know.

615. But you should see his work, because—

616. I've probably seen it. We spent 50,000 dollars

617. last year, removing graffiti from the side of our...

618. building.

619. Bro, I'm sure Zoro's work wasn't on the facade of your building,

620. but you should check out his painting, man.

621. - I think I remember seeing a Z. - It's really strong stuff.

622. You know?

623. Rap music?

624. Yeah, like, you know, the MCs,

625. they get up on the mic.

626. And they like, shout at everybody, you know,

627. "Everybody say, 'Ho!'".

628. "Say, ho!"

629. I'll give you my card. I'll...

630. Wait, wait. Zoro's over there.

631. Let me go rap to him for a minute.

632. I'm leaving tonight, I'm going to Europe.

633. I'll be away for six straight months,

634. but when I get back, you bring him to see me

635. and I'll remember your face. I never forget a face.

636. - All right? Okay.

637. Nice to meet you, Flange.

644. - Cameras? Really? - ... TV special.

645. Oh. TV special.

646. - Yeah, I'm on TV. - Oh, really?

655. By the way, Raymond, um, Niva,

656. the host of the party, wants to talk to you.

657. She's right over there.

658. Okay.

893. I'm trying to paint this figure in the middle,

894. and it's, it's not even comin' out right.

895. I already got, like the hands, like on the side.

896. Like the hands of doom.

897. And they're like representing the city

898. and the environment around this artist.

899. Right? And what I'm tryin' to draw,

900. is the artist in the middle.

901. And he's like...

902. Like...

903. He's like painting, all by himself.

904. In his own world and whatnot.

905. He don't care about nobody around him.

906. And that's what the hands are, everybody around him.

907. Yeah, who is this character?

908. That's Zoro, right? That's you.

909. Who told... Forget...

910. Who gave you that idea?

911. Come on, man. I've been knowing.

912. I've been knowing for a long time that was you.

913. That's ridiculous.

914. You just didn't trust me. You didn't tell me

915. about them things, so Imma tell you now.

916. I'm also gonna tell you, I don't like your mural.

917. I don't like the idea.

918. Just get outta here. I don't care.

919. No harm, man. I'm just telling you the truth.

920. All right?
