If that's what you want. And... I never wanted nothing more in my whole life. So? I know I got a lot... to prove to you. If you give me a chance.

• Immaculate : I did 15 years for second-degree murder when I was 16 years old, and that was just for the body they caught me on. Yeah, you know, I was affiliated. So they was right to put me away, you feel me? But you, you was in Spofford as a juvenile, right?

  Jackie Justice : Yep.
