#340Kim: Jenna, the only way to join our elite gang is to get jumped in or to get sexed in. The real gangsters who get jumped in get more respect than the tramps who choose sex. Jenna: I don't think I want to join, on second thought. Kim: Well, you don't have a choice. You can join us or you can catch a beat down everyday, so you need to tell me what the deal is.
