Week 05: Do the Right Thing [1989]

RADIO RAHEEM 

Let me tell you the story of Right
Hand, Left Hand. It's a tale of good
and evil. Hate: it was with this hand
that Cain iced his brother. Love: these
five fingers, they go straight to the 

soul of man. The right hand: the hand of
love. The story of life is this: static.
One hand is always fighting the other
hand, and the left hand is kicking
much ass. I mean, it looks like the right
hand, Love, is finished. But hold on, 

stop the presses, the right hand is coming
back. Yeah, he got the left hand on the
ropes, now, that's right. Ooh, it's a
devastating right and Hate is hurt, he's
down. Left-Hand Hate KOed by Love.
