You don't even have the authority.

telling you who I am when I come here, huh?

Man, I come any time I damn well please!

Let me tell you one thing.

If you don't let me in there to see him and open up this gate,

it's gonna be both your Black asses.

- Let him in, Clark.

- You heard him. Cut the crap.

Calm down. I need--I need you to calm down.
