The man himself -- Cyrus. Can you dig it? |
In this scene, Cyrus, leader of the Gramercy Riffs, New York's most powerful gang, has called for a conference of all of the gangs in the city to hear his proposal: should they all unite, the gangs of New York could outnumber and therefore theoretically overtake all of the city's institutions, political, economic, social -- the whole shebang. The obstacle faced by Cyrus is the potential for rejection; perhaps the representatives could find his suggestion bogus, or perhaps they may be distrustful of another gang member, regardless of his appeal and charisma. However, through his delivering of a veritable clinic of public speaking, he is able to overcome this challenge overwhelmingly superbly; the overall consensus of the "suckas" in the crowd is that they can, indeed, "dig it."
