[Eminem:] Wh-wha-what's the problem?
[Steve:] Violet Brown told me to go fuck myself!

Do you know what it feels like
To be told to have a record shoved up your ass?

I'm gonna lose my fucking job over this
You know why Dre's record was so successful?
He's rapping about big-screen TVs, blunts, 40s and bitches.
You're rapping about homosexuals and Vicodin

[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...
