White Why is it called the dozens?

Black Dont know.

Black Oh, you might say somethin about the other man’s mama. That’s a sensitive area, you might say. And he might lose it and come after your ass but when he done that it’s like he’s sayin that what you just got done tellin about his mama was true. It’s like he sayin: You aint supposed to know that about my mama and you damn sure aint supposed to of told it and now I’m fixin to whip your ass. You see what I’m sayin?

White I suppose.

Black Well, probably not.

White And is this something you do with your friends?

Black Me? No. I dont play the dozens.

White Tell me something.

Black Sure.

White Why are you here? What do you get out of this? You seem like a smart man.
