Eazy-E: [Eazy is in the studio, "Appetite for Destruction playing in the background]
[cuts off music]
Eazy-E: So what's up? When you talked to me on the phone, man you sounded pretty worked up.
Dr. Dre: Yeah I know you don't like hearing this shit... it's about Jerry. We gotta get rid of that motherfucker, E.
Eazy-E: [sighs] That's really why you came here? I thought all this shit was in the past, Dre.
Dr. Dre: This some real shit, man. And the shit been happening since the beginning. I had some people look into this, I ain't been getting my fair share-...
Eazy-E: Do you even know why you rich though? Do you know why you got a big ass house and you ain't sleeping on your auntie couch no more? Because Jerry made that possible for us. He kicked down the door for that shit to happen. For us! And you just gonna turn your back on him? What, you Cube now?
Dr. Dre: Cube was right, fool! E, look at the papers, man and you'll see what the fuck I'm talking about. And forget about Jerry, man! You keep talking about 'Jerry this, Jerry that'. We didn't make it because of Jerry, we made it because our shit is dope! And we can keep going, E. We can own the goddamn world, but we just can't be fucking with him no more! Man, we started this N.W.A shit. I just want it to be right.
Eazy-E: And this what you think right? Turnin' your back on someone after all he done for us.
Dr. Dre: You mean all he done for you. Right? Look at me. Look at me. When Tyree died, you said we was always gonna be brothers. But I guess you forgot about that. Ima start my own company with Suge Knight, E. Thought we were brothers, man.
[tosses papers and leaves]

Jerry Heller: You just gotta slow down, you can't bang every broad on the planet.
Eazy-E: What, getting pussy is a problem now?
Jerry Heller: Well, look it's gonna be a problem if you've got 10,000 kids. Right? You make some money, you have all these kids, you gotta go and take care of em. It's fine... I'll help you take care of em. Hey, Cube.
Ice Cube: Sorry to interrupt y'all lobster brunch... but what's up E, where the contracts at man? You forgot about me?
Eazy-E: I'm not trying to answer this... you know what? Jerry, can you deal with this?
Ice Cube: I'm not talking to Jerry, I'm talking to you.
Eazy-E: That's Jerry's job!
Jerry Heller: You know what, that is my department, you're completely right to ask about that Cube. The contracts are being finished as we speak. The thing is, with the contracts these lawyers go through them. Pouring over it, they'll bleed us dry, but it'll get done. I wish I got paid the way they do, you know?
Ice Cube: Hmm, me too. I just wanna know what's going on since I did write a lot of the songs on this album.
Jerry Heller: Everybody knows how important you are, Cube
Ice Cube: They do?
Eazy-E: That's what's goin on.
Jerry Heller: We just need some time.
Ice Cube: Everything probably alright. I must be trippin.
[takes a sip of their champagne]
Ice Cube: Shit tastes pretty good. Maybe someday, right? Y'all enjoy your meal.
[leaves]
Jerry Heller: [chuckles] I'm tellin ya, that guy wants to be you, very freakin' badly.
Eazy-E: As if I ain't got enough fuckin' problems.
[to waiter]
Eazy-E: Excuse me, can I get another round?
