00:02 We about to go to war.
00:05 'Cause that's what I think litigation is.
00:07 Litigation is war.
00:09 It's a battle, a battle to the death.
00:11 And I'm not talking about no bullshit either.
00:13 I'm talking about some Jean-Claude Van Damme
00:15 ass kicking shit.
00:16 Now I know y'all looking at me crazy,
00:18 but that's how I like to get.
00:20 And if we don't get crazy with these motherfuckers,
00:23 I'm telling you, this lawn group, they powerful.
00:26 Got a lot of money, got a lot of influence.
00:29 They have everything that we don't.
00:31 But we not gonna let them intimidate us.
00:34 Her name is Mayne Downs.
00:35 She graduated with her BA from Howard University.
00:41 Oh, come on, baby.
00:42 That means she just ain't a woman.
00:44 She a black woman.
00:45 Graduated top of her class from Harvard Law School.
00:52 Jesus Christ.
00:57 And now currently the youngest partner ever
01:00 at Cranston Brown and Atwell.
01:02 That's impressive.
01:04 A friend of mine used to work with her over at CBNA.
01:07 And, well, he told me they had a nickname
01:11 for her around the office.
01:12 What was it?
01:13 The Python.
01:16 Willie Garrett case is the type of case
01:18 where I have the upper hand,
01:19 where I feel that I can take this case to trial.
01:22 Understand?
01:23 And once I get them in that trial,
01:24 I mean, y'all see my tape.
01:25 When I get them in front of,
01:27 especially in front of people that look like me,
01:28 I'm gonna play them like a symphony.
01:30 Mozart.
01:31 A Willie Garrett case is where I could take that judgment
01:34 and push it all the way up to the heavens if I need to
01:37 and get as much money as I can for my client.
01:40 What he's saying is a Willie Garrett case
01:41 is a case we know we could win.
01:43 This case, not so much.
01:45 Matter of fact, the case a little bit iffy.
01:47 Where's home for us?
01:50 Black church.
01:51 I don't hear you.
01:55 Where are we?
01:56 Black church.
01:56 Speak to me.
01:57 In black church, they don't say that I fit the description.
02:01 In black church, they don't judge me
02:04 because of the color of my skin.
02:06 In black church, they don't call me out my name.
02:11 And if they do call me out my name,
02:13 you know what they call me?
02:15 I said, do you know what they call me?
02:17 They call me a child of God.
02:19 (audience cheering)
02:22 - You're a fighter.
02:28 - Yeah.
02:31 Oh, I'm a fighter.
02:33 You are too, Jerry.
02:34 You're a fighter, man.
02:35 You know why I say you're a fighter?
02:37 Going up against this big loan group, man,
02:40 small business owner, man, that's something, Doc.
02:43 That's why we connect.
02:44 What made you want to do it?
02:47 - 'Cause he tried to mess with the one thing
02:49 that means the most to me in life,
02:50 being able to leave something behind for my children,
02:54 my grandchildren, when I go.
02:56 They have a legacy, Willie.
03:00 And I do mean to pass it on to 'em.
03:04 - One suggestion, though, baby.
03:09 - Yeah, what's that?
03:11 - When you're up there in court tomorrow, doing your thing.
03:17 - Doing my thing.

03:23 Okay?
03:28 - What?
03:32 What you talking about, girl?
03:35 I don't do that.
03:36 - Yeah, you do. - No, I--
03:39 - Just a little.
03:39 - I don't think I do that.
03:42 Girl, give me a break.
