*January 1991*

Vince watched a 40s male take turns a game of chess while he waited; whenever he was thinking about the brain to choose the right one and sliding one of the chess pieces to beat the game whenever he was the lucky one. After winning the chess game, he's on the way to Broadway. He went to Broadway to see his friend, Chandler, and check up on her. He sat on the chair, watching her while Chandler was practicing. Chandler is doing the show on Broadway from "Once on This Island."

Chandler: *doing the practice from the show on the stage alongside casts*

Vince: *watching her*

Chandler: *read it out loud without the script*

Vince: *listened to her voice*

Chandler: *looks at Vince*

Vince: *watching her*

After finishing the practice, she approached Vince around the seats when she felt ready to take the stage.

Chandler: How do I look?

Vince: Impressive.

Chandler: How do you think I feel when I make it to the stage and kill that part towards the show?

Vince: Play your role and get the fuck out of the line.

Chandler: *hearing*

Vince: You got me?

Chandler: I got you, Vince. I hope my family will show up; they've been through rough times lately.

Vince: Ouch.

Chandler: *hugs him*

Vince: *hugs her back*

Zero, Blake, and Hadley are chilling in the neighborhood from outside Blake's friend's house; he calls both of them to come over to chill out and ride back to New York together later tonight.

Blake: To be honest, this is how I lived back there as a kid.

Zero: No shit. In a different city, so many things are already changing for you. There is no way can't fucking with you, everybody is loving you.

Blake: What are you talking about? *looks at him*

Hadley: *smoking while listening to their conversations* I know y'all idiots talking about coming to New York whenever you guys say goodbye anytime soon.

Zero and Blake: *look at each other and look right at Hadley* What the fuck are you talking about?

Hadley: Why? Am I saying something?

Blake: Hadley, you haven't gotten shit to say about the city. I'm talking about when I'm going back to New York to do it all on the same page. I ain't trying to push my damn button.

Zero: If you were heading around the corner to cover more newspapers to see more crimes back in the 80s. Perhaps, I just heard about the guy who got killed during the mob.
