I don't want to be judged next to guys like Suge Knight. I want to be measured next to David Geffen, Irving Azoff, and Clive Davis. Whether I measure up or not, I let my record speak for me. That's how I want to be judged - by what I've done, not by what people like Ice Cube and Dr. Dre have said about me.

Tupac: What up, Dre?
Dr. Dre: What up, Pac?
Tupac: I was about to bust niggas in the mouth with this new album.
Dr. Dre: I feel that.
Tupac: Suge said you got some heat for a nigga.
Dr. Dre: Hell yeah!
[Plays Tupac a "California Love" Instrumental]

Suge Knight: [Dre meets up with Suge in the hospital to visit The D.O.C. who had just been in a car accident] DOC shouldn't even be alive. Got thrown out of a car, hit a tree.
Dr. Dre: Is he paralyzed?
Suge Knight: Nah. But his throat got crushed. He could lose his career over this. Where your people? Where Eazy and Jerry?

Dr. Dre: How the fuck should I know?
Suge Knight: Come here.
[in the hallway]
Suge Knight: What you know about Jerry? What you think about him?
Dr. Dre: He all right. I guess.
Suge Knight: What about your paperwork? You cool with that?
Dr. Dre: [pause] I

think.
Suge Knight: You think?
Dr. Dre: Look, I just focus on the music, Suge. That's it.
Suge Knight: You see that motherfucker in there? Gotta make sure it don't happen to you, man.
Dr. Dre: Hey, um... maybe-maybe some of your people can look into my paperwork too.
Suge Knight:

Most definitely. I'll arrange. Go see ya boy.

Jerry Heller: [Eazy is at Jerry's pool after getting jumped by Suge and his crew, Jerry holds a gun up to his head, then retracts it upon noticing Eazy] Oh, Jesus Eric, you scared me. You okay?
Eazy-E: I gotta kill this motherfucker Suge Knight. I just wanted to come over and tell you first cause, shit might get a lil' thick.
Jerry

Heller: No, no I'm not gonna let you do that.
Eazy-E: I didn't come over here to ask for your permission, I came to let you know! You wanna come and get involved in this gangster shit, well, here we go.
Jerry Heller: No Eric, you're not in Compton anymore. Just in case ya haven't looked around, drop that shit, okay? We don't hit back with

guns, we hit back with lawyers, that's what gets em'.
Eazy-E: You think I got a fuckin choice?
[points]
Eazy-E: Look at my face!
[Eazy's nose was bloodied]
Eazy-E: It ain't about the money, Jerry! I don't care about that, this is bigger than all of that...
Jerry Heller: No that's

ridiculous, and you should fuckin' care about the money. You're so much smarter than these fuckin' thugs... if you kill this man, his problems will be over, and yours will just be beginning.
Eazy-E: Why do I gotta be the bigger man?
Jerry Heller: Because it's better than you being a dead man. I don't want you fuckin' dead.

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.

Eazy-E: [monologue plays of Cube recording "The Nigga Ya Love To Hate" off his hit record, "AmeriKKKas' Most Wanted" and Dre nodding his head to it as he drives into Eazy's Wild n' Wet Party]
[concerned]
Eazy-E: You know Cube's record is in the Top 20 Billboard right now? Our shit never been up there. He blowin the fuck up, Jerry.

Jerry Heller: It's gonna be fine, Eric. It's not just N.W.A anymore, it's our whole Ruthless roster. We got D.O.C., we got Michel'le, we got Above The Law, we're moving up to the next level. You know what, sit down for two seconds.
Eazy-E: Look, we need to keep Dre happy
Jerry Heller: Yeah. Look at him, you think he needs any more

motivation than that?
Eazy-E: I mean, I get it Jerry. He drownin in pussy and shit, but that don't mean that he...
Jerry Heller: You-you worry too much. Stop okay?
Eazy-E: Yeah, all right.
Jerry Heller: Here, sign some checks.
Eazy-E: Right now, Jerry? Oh c'mon!

Jerry Heller: Yes, right now, you're gonna be outta your mind later, do it now. Y'know, the fact is Ren is as good of a writer as Cube, maybe even better. They got everything covered.
[points to contract]
Jerry Heller: Just the last one. Okay?
Eazy-E: Yeah. We finished here, Jerry?
Jerry Heller: We're

finished.
Eazy-E: Good. I'm about to go fuck.
[sighs]
Eazy-E: All right?
Jerry Heller: Yeah.
[cut to monologue of Suge approaching Dr. Dre & D.O.C and briefly conversating while glaring at Jerry, much to Jerry's concern & disdain]
