WEST: I wasn’t gonna throw my money in the river, nigger.
HOLLOWAY: That’s why you don’t know. You don’t know what might have happened if you did that. If you had gone on back up there she might have told you.
WEST: I offered to give her the twenty dollars just for her time . . . but she wouldn’t take it. Told me to throw it in the river. I’d rather see her with it than to see it at the bottom of the river. I just wasn’t gonna do that with my money.
HOLLOWAY: That’s why you don’t know.
WEST: If it take throwing my money in the river to find out then I ain’t never gonna know.
MEMPHIS: What you go up to see her about, Holloway? What happened when you threw your twenty dollars in?

He died from natural causes. Ask West . . . he buried him. He died in his sleep. That’s why I knew it worked. Cause he died of natural death.
