What are you afraid of, man?
I'm your partner. You can tell me. What the hell are you hiding from?
I was a sophomore in college.
The university I went to decided they needed to raise tuition.
A classmate of mine, Brenda, in an effort to raise money
and stay in school, came up with a nifty plan
she thought she'd date guys and... and charge them money.
I go on dates all the time, with a whole bunch of, you know, boys and stuff.
And I kind of need somebody to help me out,
like, you know, my partner in crime.
Yeah, I could make... I could make a schedule.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I was thinking.
- Provide transportation services. - Yeah, yeah.
She said she needed my help Io make sure that the dates went okay
the guys paid her. She said she'd give me a percentage.
- Oh, my God. You were a pimp. - What? God, no.
No, I was just trying to help a friend.
We started making a lot of money.
And wouldn't you know it, some of Brenda's girlfriends
decided they wanted to be a part of it.
Pretty soon, there were about 14 ladies that I was protecting
while they gave me money.
That's called a stable of whores.
We decided I shouldn't use my real name.
So we came up with the name "Gator."
I'm telling you, you were a pimp.
No! Are you even listening to the story?
Anyway, one day, I wake up and I look in the mirror,
and I don't like what I see.
I mean, I... I had gotten out of control, and I didn't even realise it.
You can't have a conscience in the pimp game.
One night, two of my favourite girls,
Candy and Jolene, said, "We gotta take you in,“
they dropped me off at the emergency room.
That's where I met Sheila' I was a mess.
I made a promise to myself and to her
that I would never get out of control again.
So, as soon as I graduated from college,
I became an accountant for the police department.
The most stable job I could think of.
An accountant for law and order.
I just don't wanna ever feel out of control like that ever again.
Don't worry. I got your back.
