 Good to see you again. What's up?

  [Eminem:]
 
 So what's up? How's orders looking for the first week?
 
 
  [Steve:]
 
 It would be better if you gave me nothing at all
 
 
  [Eminem:]
 
 Wh...
 
 
  [Steve:]
 
 This album is less than nothing. I can't sell this fucking record
 
 
  [Eminem:]
 
 Wha...
 
 
  [Steve:]
 
 Do you know what's happening to me out there?
 
 
  [Eminem:]
 
 Wh-wha-what's the problem?
 
 
  [Steve:]
 
 Violet Brown told me to go fuck myself!
 
 
  [Eminem:]
 
 Who's Violet...?
 
 
  [Steve:]
 
 
 Tower Records told me to shove this record up my ass!
 
 Do you know what it feels like
 
 To be told to have a record shoved up your ass?
 
 
  [Eminem:]
 
 But, I...
 
 
  [Steve:]
 
 
 I'm gonna lose my fuckin' job over this
 
 You know why Dre's record was so successful?
 
 He's rappin' about big-screen TVs, blunts, 40s and bitches.
 
 You're rappin' about homosexuals and Vicodin
 
 
  [Eminem:]
 
 I mean-
 
 
  [Steve:]
 
 I can't sell this shit!
 
 
  [Eminem:]
 
 What...
 
 
  [Steve:]
 
 Either change the record or it's not coming out!
 
 
  [Eminem:]
 
 What, I...
 
 
  [Steve:]
 
 Now get the fuck out of my office!
 
 
  [Eminem:]
 
 What am I supposed...
 
 
  [Steve:]
 
 Now!
 
 
  [Eminem:]
 
 Alright man...
