The setup

A gang meeting falls apart when Carlito decides that even sitting in a chair would make him look weak.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

The gang leader wants to get everyone seated and organized, but Carlito insists on balancing against the wall instead of accepting a chair. His refusal to compromise becomes increasingly dangerous while the others try to reason with him. Even a fatal injury fails to interrupt his tough-guy routine, leaving the gang to negotiate with his equally stubborn spirit.

I'm fine right here on the spirit plane.

Heaven is for pussies.
