Beaumont's Lament
Louis:
"Who's that?"
Ordell:
"That's Beaumont."
Louis:
"Who's Beaumont?"
Ordell:
"Oh, an employee I had to let go."
Louis:
"What'd he do?"
Ordell:
"He put himself in the position where he was going to have to do ten years in prison,
that's what he did. If you know Beaumont, you know there ain't no goddamn way he gonna do ten years.
And if you know that, you know that Beaumont is gonna do anything
Beaumont can to keep from doing them ten years,
including telling the federal government any, and every motherfucking thing about my black ass.
Now that, my friend, is a clear cut case of him or me, and you best believe, it ain't gonna be me.
