"let's just say I'mma investment man." mark said "what's that?"tyson asked curious "He sell drugs."broderick said "Shut up, don't listen to your brother, he to dum to know what he talkin bout." mark said pushing broderick arm. "so you sell products like on tv." tyson asked "yeah, why you so interested little man?" mark asked "because I wanna be like you Unk." tyson said "little man, don't be like me, be better then me, follow your heart." he said patting his back. tyson ran to the devil dipper. "say unk, why you just didn't tell him the truth, shit, you need to put me on, you know what I'm saying." broderick said rubbing his hands together.
