As shown in the death of the dancer from Orlando’s, she overdosed on drugs and Avon along with his close friends didn’t try to save her, instead they rolled her up in a rug and through her in the trash. This is a prime example of how the King treats those under him, he uses you and after he gets what he wants he disposes of you as if you are meaningless. Many of these people in Avon’s empire are viewed the same way, as D’Angelo said it, “The pawns, man, in the game they get capped quick. They be out of the game early.” The way D’Angelo put it, the pawns are the ones that come into the came quickly and can get forced out or leave the game even quicker. The young dealers, especially Bodie is convinced that he, a pawn can make it the end and become top dog or the king in the game. In this scene it comes through to the viewer’s how little these young dealers are in check with the reality of the game. The final reference D’Angelo makes reference to is the chess piece called the rook and explains the relations of it to the stash. The young dealers at first do not see the reference to stash but as D’Angelo points out the fact that the stash constantly moves as does the rook, Bodie and Wallace begin to come around to the chess
