UCE-1: With you and him, but you do the talking, all right, you tell him, hey, introduce me as Geraldo, Jerry, whatever you want, I just want to make sure they're cool, I'm gonna say 'hey, how you doing, nice to meet you' whatever but as far as you need to tell them 'hey this is a big man's game' I need to know that they know what's going on, because we can't, we cannot have people, but I need, you know, they are going to take it better from you than me, is what I am saying.
Pulido: Right, right, right
UCE-1: And you know, you, you
Pulido:: They way I've, I've already explained it (laughing) I think they are going to take it more from you because i've already explained it to them in a way that they understand what they have to lose, and that was the issue with the third badge I told, I told you about. The way I'm presenting this is that yeah you're my family, but as family does, family sticks to their own. And if something goes bad, and they're at fault somebody is going to pay, either with their life, or their children's lives, and as soon as they hear that, they're like, okay, they back off. The only ones that step forward are the ones that I trust.
UCE-1: All right, all right.
Pulido:: These two stepped forward, the other one was like 'oh wait minute, my children' that was all I needed to hear.
UCE-1: Okay, all right.
Pulido:: If you don't want to put up your children, then you have to go.
UCE-1: You know what, tomorrow when we meet them, we'll meet them individually, you, me, Manny, bring them here, you're the man, you're in charge of them, okay, you get them, you take care of them, you're in charge of them, we trust you with that, sit'em down, say 'listen guys, hey you know, this is business, business is business.
Pulido:: Uh huh.
UCE-1: There's a lot of money involved, the deal is what it is. Something goes wrong, somebody messed up you know.
