[USNAVI] Ninety-six thousand [SONNY/BENNY] Damn! [USNAVI] Ninety-six thousand [SONNY] Dollas? Holla! [USNAVI] Ninety-six thousand [BENNY, spoken] Yo, somebody won! [USNAVI] Ninety-six thousand! [BENNY] Yo, if I won the lotto tomorrow, well, I know I wouldn't bother goin' on no spendin' spree I pick a business school and pay the entrance fee Then maybe if you're lucky, you'll stay friends with me I'll be a businessman, richer than Nina's daddy Donald Trump and I on the links, and he's my caddy My money's makin' money, I'm goin' from po' to mo' dough Keep the bling, I want the brass ring, like Frodo [USNAVI] Oh no, here goes Mr. Braggadocio Next thing you know, you're lying like Pinocchio [BENNY] Yo, if you're scared of the bull, stay out the rodeo [GRAFFITI PETE] Yo, I got more hoes than a phone book in Tokyo [USNAVI] Ooh, you better stop rappin', you not ready It's gonna get hot and heavy And you already sweaty [GRAFFITI PETE] Yo-yo-yo! Yo! [USNAVI] Yo! I'm sorry, is that an answer? Shut up, go home and pull ya damn pants up! As for you, Mr. Frodo of the Shire Ninety-six Gs ain't enough to retire [BENNY] C'mon, I'll have enough to knock your ass off its axis [USNAVI] You'll have a knapsack full of jack after taxes [SONNY] Ninety-six thousand! [ABUELA CLAUDIA, spoken] ¡Ay, alabanza! [SONNY] Ninety-six thousand! [DANIELA/CARLA, spoken] ¡No me diga! [SONNY] Ninety-six thousand! [VANESSA, spoken] I never win shit [SONNY] Ninety-six thousand! [BENNY] For real, though, imagine how it would feel goin' real slow Down the highway of life with no regrets And no breakin' your neck for respect or a paycheck For real, though, I'll take a break from the wheel and we'll throw The biggest block party, everybody here It's a weekend when we can breathe, take it easy [NEIGHBORS] Yo, Ma, it's me, check my tickets [CARLA] Check one, two, three What would you do with ninety-six Gs? [DANIELA] Who me? [CARLA] I mean if it's just between you and me [DANIELA] Esa pregunta es tricky [CARLA] I know [DANIELA] With ninety-six Gs I'd start my life with a brand new lease Atlantic City with a Malibu Breeze [CARLA] And a brand new weave! [DANIELA] Or maybe just bleach... [VANESSA] Y'all are freaks [USNAVI, spoken] Yo, I'm just sayin'... (sung) It's silly when we get into these crazy hypotheticals You really want some bread? Then go ahead create a set of goals And cross 'em off the list as you pursue 'em And with those ninety-six, I know precisely what I'm doin' [VANESSA] What you doin'? [USNAVI] What am I doin'? What am I doin'? It takes most of that cash just to save my ass from financial ruin Sonny can keep the coffee brewin' I'll spend a few on you 'Cause the only room with a view is a room with you in it And I could give Abuela Claudia the rest of it Just fly me down to Puerto Plata, I'll make the best of it You really love this business? [SONNY] No [USNAVI] Tough, Merry Christmas You're now the youngest tycoon in Washington Hiznits! [SONNY] Yo, with ninety-six thousand, I'd finally fix housin' Give the barrio computers with wireless web browsin' Your kids are livin' without a good edjumication Change the station, teach 'em about gentrification The rent is escalatin' [GRAFFITI PETE] What?! [SONNY] The rich are penetratin' [GRAFFITI PETE] What?! [SONNY] We pay our corporations when we should be demonstratin' [GRAFFITI PETE] What?! [SONNY] What about immigration? [GRAFFITI PETE] What?! [SONNY] Politicians be hatin' [GRAFFITI PETE] What?! [SONNY] Racism in this nation's gone from latent to blatant [COMMUNITY] Ooh! [SONNY] I'll cash my ticket and picket, invest in protest Never lose my focus 'til the city takes notice And you know this man! I'll never sleep Because the ghetto has a million promises for me to keep [VANESSA, spoken] You are so cute! [SONNY, spoken] I was just thinkin' off the top of my head [USNAVI, spoken] Ninety-six K, go​ [VANESSA] If I win the lottery, you'll never see me again [USNAVI] Damn, we only jokin', stay broke then [VANESSA] I'll be downtown Get a nice studio, I'll get out of the barrio [VANESSA] If I ​win the ​​lottery You'll wonder where I've been [BENNY] For real, though, imagine how it would feel goin' real slow Down the highway of ​life with no regrets And no breakin' your neck for respect or a paycheck [VANESSA] I'll ​be ​downtown See you ​​around If I ​win ​the ​lottery You won't see a ​lot ​of ​me I'll be downtown See ​you ​around [WOMEN] Why-oh!
