"We"." "Always with the "we"." "I think it's you." "You're the only doctor in the room." "I think you fried his brain with that machine!" "Jimmy... this is bullshit." "Jimmy." "What next?" "he was in a similar state." "Wouldn't you agree?" "I have to believe that it's just a matter of time before he comes out of it." "Matter of time." "then." "I'll wait." "Right here. 1.5 minutes." "How many rounds have gone through the tube?" "500 through it and never know." "It's about how tight she shoots." "And this one's tight as they come." "I'd say there's a breeze picking up downrange."

"Want to go to bed?" "no." "It's..." "It's cooler down here." "Oh..." "What can I get you?" "I'll make you some tea." "not that brown water they have at the hospital." "I'm fine." "I'll make you some tea." "Jimmy." "No." "Just..." "You've done your duty." "You can go now." "That came out a bit harsh." "Hmm. and now I just..." "I want to be left alone." "how am I even gonna know?" "I am fine." "I promise." "See?" "Feeling better already." "I don't even have the keys." "So..." "Can I get Ernie back here?" "at least?" "right?" "All right." "Chuck."

"Got to protect the old peepers." "You got to..." "Yeah." "Looking sharp." "Bingo." "bye-bye now." "Okay." "I am sorry about the wait." "But the attention i give each client means sometimes things get a little backed up." "Uh... in turn." "i believe you're next." "may I get anybody some coffee?" "Can I talk to you?" "Excuse me one second." "We have got to get a receptionist." "yesterday." "Howard just called." "He says he's been trying to reach you all morning." "tell him to stop bothering you and leave me a message." "It's about Chuck." "that's all he'll say." "Okay." "my associate tells me" "I'm needed for some brief but pressing legal business." "I just need to make one quick phone call." "in the meantime who was it who wanted coffee?" "this young lady will get you coffee." "if there are any left." "Please." "I want coffee." "But I do not want cream." "it's me." "Returning Howard's call." "Yeah." "what's up?" "I have just one question." "Are you behind this?" "Am I behind what?" "in the middle of something right now." "Come back later." "no." "Come on." "Open the door." "I know why you're here." "We can discuss it later." "Right now I'm busy." "Goodbye." "Uh..." "You happy now?" "me not having a key to this place!" "Chuck?" "Chuck what's up?" "uh... a project..." "Going on?" "want to tell me about?" "clue me in? completely invisible to the radio spectrum." "No protection at all." "I might as well be standing in the middle of a pasture." "I don't know what I was thinking." "Should've done this from the start." "uh..." "I think these walls are pretty solid." "What I really need is a proper Faraday cage." "That's what I need." "I think we need to sit down." "buddy." "Please?" "Jimmy." "I'm not crazy." "Right?" "that... and justifiably." "come on." "Hey." "and then right back at it." "I'm fine." "Chuck." "Just a break." "Jimmy:" "Careful." "Howard tells me you quit hhm." "I didn't quit." "I retired." "That's not what it sounded like." "out of the blue." "Don't you think?" "He's worried about you." "He should be relieved." "Relieved?" "Why would he be relieved?" "that whole place goes down the drain." "you... but the law?" "Chuck." "Uh... the law needs you." "Just stop it." "And you need it." "huh?" "'Cause I don't know what you are if you're not a lawyer." "Hey!" "Hey." "How're you gonna retire before you get me disbarred?" "huh?" "I'll be the only mcgill carrying the family name." "We can't have that." "Is this 'cause you lost mesa verde?" "So what?" "Who cares? but whatever... you know what?" "You get mad." "Take action!" "Don't just hide out in your... your cage thing here." "No." "No retirement for you." "you can drop dead by the way." "okay?" "So..." "I..." "I can't do the job anymore." "What do you mean?" "Of course you can do the job." "I made a mistake." "What mistake?" "nothing little bank address." "1216 instead of 1261." "I screwed it up." "I hurt the client." "Hmm." "I blew it!" "Completely and utterly." "And then I blamed..." "And then i blamed you." "It's this goddamned electricity!" "It's wearing me down." "It's wearing down my faculties." "My brain." "My mind." "It used to be... it used to work." "And now it doesn't anymore." "People got hurt because of me." "It's time to end it." "you didn't make a mistake?" "Jimmy." "Stop humoring me." "Stop trying to talk everything right." "I rat-fucked you." "It was me." "I would've made Nixon proud." "I changed 1261 to 1216." "It was me." "It all went down exactly like you said." "exactly." "I paid the kid at the shop to lie for me." "It is insane how you got every detail exactly right." "okay?" "000% efficiency." "Are you telling the truth?" "Or are you just trying to make me feel better?" "I am saying it to make you feel better." "I sure as shit wouldn't be telling you otherwise." "yes." "It's the truth." "You'd go to such lengths to humiliate me?" "I did it for Kim! while you and Howard sat around sipping scotch and chortling." "Hamlin Hamlin mcgill?" "More like scrooge and Marley!" "not you." "Not hhm." "She earned it." "And she needs it." "I did it to help her." "I..." "I honestly didn't think it would hurt you so bad. crap." "I made a mistake." And go on with your life." "no!" "Wishful thinking!" "tell Howard you're not quitting or retiring or whatever?" "Can we take all this shit down off the walls?" "I'm gonna go call Howard." "Jimmy." "You do realize you just confessed to a felony." "I guess." "right?" "it's your word against mine."
