"I'm giving him my opinion." "Unlike other people, around here, I actually have an opinion." "Fellas, can we settle this domestic dispute later?" "Absolutely." "CAMONETTl:" "Why do you think he's Catholic?" "Well, I think he's Catholic because he talked about original sin and confessions." "I don't know, I wrote it down." "I didn't know what else to do." "Did he ask for a priest?" "GARBER:" "No." "Good." "Anything else?" "Uh, yeah, he sounded like, you know, the way he was talking, he sounded like he's not afraid to die." "Yeah, well, it's early yet." "Hm." "The calls are coming through...?" "Yes, sir." "Right here." "You hit the blue button here, you can reach him." "And then he'll come back to you."

"Take the rest of the day off." "Get out of here." "I thought I'd stick around, just make sure that..." "Well, that wasn't a suggestion." "So why don't you go home?" "All right." "This is it."
