The Instagram user, Marshall Brown, masterfully created a reel that depicted a scene from the movie ‘Soulman,’ starring Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac. And this wasn’t just any scene. It was a conversation that perfectly mirrored the ongoing negotiation deadlock between Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson.
In the film, Samuel L. Jackson demands, “How much?” to which Bernie Mac responds, “40 grand.” Samuel L. Jackson, not content, fires back with, “Apiece?” only to be met with Bernie Mac’s clarifying, “No, down the middle.” The discourse escalates with Jackson’s character exclaiming, “No, no, no, no, no, No, no, no, no! That ain’t even enough.”

Bernie Mac retorts, “What the f**k you mean that’s not enough, man?” Samuel L. Jackson, defending his position, insists, “I got a lifestyle to maintain here.” The argument heats up further with a humorous exchange over a pantry full of dog food and a supposedly hidden dog, before culminating in Bernie Mac’s exasperated, “You’re the dog, motherf****r!”
