“You know what? If the system sucks, why don’t you just change it? Make new rules.”
”Matt, I can't just single-handedly change long-established gang structures overnight."
"I mean, what are they gonna do of you try? Fire you?"
"Kill me. And you right after. I’m just ONE GUY - how do you think that should go??"
"You’re not just one guy - I know of at least one person that would personally smash a blokes head if they pulled a gun on you for whatever reason and that’s the fucking BOSS, dude. Rod had your back from the very beginning. He'd be a gormless moron if he got rid of you because you were shagging a guy. He needs you. They all need you. And Ross knows that, I'm pretty sure. And besides, if anyone can change long-established gang structures overnight, that’s you, innit?? Who was it that brought Rod a head as an initiation gift, huh? The one who infiltrated the bloody mafia on his own?? I think it's a smaller task to get your subordinates to stop hitting on gays, don't you?"
"Well, if you frame it like that..."
"Also, you're forgetting the most important thing: you're fucking Mello. They're all scared of you and rightly so."
