"YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT." "WELL, YOU DIDN'T LET ME FINISH." "WELL, OK, PLEASE FINISH, THEN, BETH," "FINISH WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SAY." "I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO DO THIS..." "WITHOUT SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION." "BOTH OF LEWIS' PARENTS HAVE PASSED ON." "THEY LEFT A LITTLE SOMETHING." "HOW DOES $50,000 SOUND?" "$50,000?" "THAT SOUNDS FINE, JUST FINE..." "BUT FOR EACH YEAR." "$50,000 A YEAR." "YOU WANT ME TO PAY YOU $150,000" "FOR ASSUMING WHAT IS, IN FACT," "YOUR SHARE OF THE RESPONSIBILITY." "NO, NO, NO." "NOT YOU." "LEWIS'S ESTATE." "I MEAN, THEY GOT HEAVY MONEY RIGHT?" "COME ON, LET'S FACE IT." "YOU COME TO NEW YORK ON WHAT'S PRETTY MUCH A FISHING EXPEDITION." "YOU STAY ON THE PARK, EAT HERE, NOT AT SOME CHEAP COFFEE SHOP ON LEX." "ALL RIGHT." "SO I WILL DRAW UP THE DRAFT AGREEMENT TOMORROW." "IF YOU PROMISE ME RIGHT NOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GO BACK." "YOU KNOW WHAT'S FUNNY TO ME..." "REALLY FUNNY?" "IS HOW PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF" "THINK YOU CAN JUST BUY PEOPLE LIKE ME." "BUT GUESS WHAT, BETH." "I WOULDN'T WALK INTO YOUR SHIT STORM FOR ANY PRICE," "AND ANY SLIM CHANCE THAT THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN THAT I WOULD GO BACK" "JUST WENT BYE-BYE WHEN YOU TRIED TO PAY ME OFF." "MENUS?" "I'M SORRY." "I THINK THERE'S BEEN A MISTAKE TONIGHT." "I WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO BUY ME DINNER," "BECAUSE THEN I WOULD BE EXPLOITING YOU, COUNSELOR." "HAVE A GOOD NIGHT." "PLEASE, I'M SORRY." "I MADE A MISTAKE."

"JESUS, I WOULD MAKE ANY PLAY TO SAVE LEWIS'S LIFE." "I KNOW YOU CARE ABOUT THAT." "YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT, BETH?" "I THINK YOU GOT THE WRONG GUY HERE." "DON'T LET MY NICKNAME FOOL YOU." "IT'S JUST A BASTARDIZATION OF MY LAST NAME," "WHICH IS VOLGECHEREV, ALL RIGHT." "I KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT, AND I KEEP MY HEAD DOWN," "BUT I DO WISH LEWIS A LOT OF LUCK," "ESPECIALLY WITH YOU AS HIS LAWYER." "OH, GOD." "I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN FOR HIS WELL-BEING." "I MAY NOT BE THE BEST," "BUT I AM THE MOST PERSISTENT." "THAT'S GREAT." "WELL, YOU SHOULD FUCKING TAKE YOUR PERSISTENCY" "AND NOT WASTE IT ON ME." "YOU ONLY GOT A FEW DAYS LEFT." "YOU'RE APPEALING TO EMOTIONS I DON'T HAVE" "AND A FUCKING MORALITY THERE'S NO WAY IN THE WORLD" "I COULD AFFORD." "THAT MAY BE WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE, SHERIFF," "BUT LISTEN, IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT" "THAT A MAN'S LIFE HANGS IN THE BALANCE." "HOW YOU DOING, MAN?" "WHAT'S UP, SHERIFF?" "HOW YOU DOING, TONY?" "HEH HEH HEH." "HEH HEH..." "YEP." "HERE WE ARE." "LOOK, I'M FREEZING." "WHAT DO YOU SAY WE..." "YOU KNOW, MY SECRETARY'S OUT TODAY, TONY." "I APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE."

"BUT THAT'S KIND OF A DRY RUN" "FOR OUR NEXT 3 YEARS IN PANANG PRISON, YOU KNOW." "SO YOU'RE GOING TO..." "YOU'RE GOING TO DO THIS?" "YOU'RE GOING BACK?" "NO." "YOU DON'T GIVE A SHIT, DO YOU?" "ARE YOU SAYING I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT LEWIS?" "WELL, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ACTING LIKE, YEAH." "BECAUSE IF YOU BELIEVE THAT," "YOU DON'T KNOW THE FIRST FUCKING THING ABOUT ME." "FINE." "FINE." "ALL RIGHT." "THEN HOW COME YOU'RE SO READY TO SLAM THE DOOR ON HIM?" "BECAUSE I KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT GUYS WHO HAVE CLUBS AND BADGES, ALL RIGHT?" "I'VE HAD MY ASS KICKED BY THOSE BASTARDS, TONY." "IT'S NOT HOW YOU THINK." "JUST BECAUSE YOU DO SOMETHING GOOD" "DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S GOING TO BE A HAPPY ENDING TO THE WHOLE THING." "YOU COULD VERY EASILY DIE OVER THERE." "OK, YEAH." "YOU THINK OF THAT?" "ALL RIGHT, LOOK..." "THIS IS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN, OK?" "LET'S SAY, IF THIS GOES DOWN" "AND, GOD FORBID, OK, LEWIS HANGS," "YOU DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE, LIKE, HEADLINE NEWS?" "SHERIFF, THIS IS GOING TO FOLLOW YOU AROUND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE." "WHEREAS, THE OTHER WAY," "WE COME HOME A PAIR OF HEROES, AND THEN WHAT?" "THE CITY THROWS US A TICKER-TAPE PARADE?" "GOD, TONY, YOU'RE A FUCKING BOY SCOUT." "YOU REALLY ARE." "LISTEN TO ME, OK?"

"LISTEN, IN THIS INSTANCE," "YOUR INTERESTS AND THE INTERESTS OF THE PUBLIC CONVERGE." "HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT THIS?" "MY SOURCE IS AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT." "THERE'S A BLACKOUT AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT." "OH, NO, NO, NO, NO." "THEY PASSED THE BUCK." "THEY SOLD IT AS DIPLOMACY." "THAT'S WHY YOU NEED ME, AND FAST." "I CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN FAST, BETH." "IN 48 HOURS, LEWIS McBRIDE CAN BE OVER EVERY..." "NO, NO." "LISTEN TO ME." "DO YOU REMEMBER SINGAPORE?" "THE AMERICAN KID WHO GRAFFITIED A CAR?" "SURE." "BECAUSE OF THE MEDIA FRENZY," "THEY HAD TO CANE THE KID." "BUT THAT WAS A CANING TO SHOW SOME NATIONAL BACKBONE." "THIS IS A HANGING!" "OH, AND I DON'T KNOW THAT?"

"I HAVE A TAPE I WANT YOU TO WATCH." "YEAH?" "JESUS CHRIST, YOU DON'T LET UP, DO YOU?" "I CAN'T." "OK, YOU KNOW WHAT?" "I'M GOING TO WATCH YOUR TAPE." "HONEST TO GOD, I AM." "BUT I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO GO GET SOMETHING TO EAT." "SO I'LL WATCH IT LATER." "ARE YOU INVITING ME TO DINNER," "OR ARE WE STILL MAD AT EACH OTHER?" "BOTH." "CHEERS." "CHEERS" "IT'S A TOAST TO LEWIS." "SWEET GUY..." "LOVED THE ANIMALS." "LOVED HIS BEER." "DID HE?" "YEAH." "I NEVER KNEW THAT ABOUT HIM." "TELL ME SOMETHING ELSE." "REALLY, BEER IS ALL I REALLY REMEMBER." "THAT'S IT?" "YEAH." "WOW." "HE DIDN'T MAKE REALLY MUCH OF AN IMPRESSION, THEN, DID HE?" "LEWIS?" "MM-HMM." "WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" "HAVE YOU SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH HIM?" "I'VE..." "NEVER HAD A BEER WITH HIM." "HE IS, HONESTLY, BETH..." "ONE OF THE SWEETEST PEOPLE" "I'VE EVER MET IN MY LIFE."
