- of two cashier's checks drawn on
the Flagship National Bank, -

:44:05
- made payable to
the Committee for a Better Miami.

:44:09
- Have you seen them before?
- Yeah, they're mine.

:44:15
For what purpose
did you make these checks?

:44:19
- To contribute to the committee.
- Why was that?

:44:23
Because they do good work.
:44:27
Are you aware the committee's interested
in the political career of Mr Quinn?

:44:31
So? That's okay with me.
:44:43
Let me point out that these checks
were drawn immediately before -

:44:47
- and immediately after
your meeting with Mr Quinn.

:44:50
- What do you make of that?
- What do you make of it?

:44:53
You're trying to say
you just got an urge to contribute -

:44:57
- to his committee before you met
with him and then right after?

:45:01
Yeah. I came into some extra money
a couple of days later.

:45:04
You made these contributions
anonymously. Why?

:45:08
- I wanted them to be anonymous.
- I'll bet. Tell us why.

:45:11
I didn't want people
asking for contributions!

:45:14
You made them anonymously
because you were paying off.

:45:18
Prove it.
:45:23
If you in fact told Mr Quinn that you
would act as a goVernment informant...

:45:29
No. I said
that I'd see what I could find out.

:45:33
- What are you finding out?
- Nothing. Nobody wants to talk about it.

:45:37
Son of a bitch! You're trying
to frame me. He set me up!

:45:41
He arranged the meetings,
he got me on his answering machine, -

:45:45
- he's got the cancelled checks.
He's trying to frame me!

:45:48
- What's his motiVe?
- To get even, you dummy.

:45:52
You two guys ought to get married.
