Angel : She's the only woman that ever gave a damn. The least we can do is go bang on a few doors and see what happens. We owe her that much.
Jeremiah : So you're gonna shoot up the whole town cause y'all mad?
Angel : Why not?
Jeremiah : C'mon, man, the people who did this are probably from the same shitty-ass streets we're from. Mom would've been the first to forgive them, and y'all know that.
