:54:03
Puttin' on
your makeup?
:54:05
This ain't TV, you know.
It's radio. Come on.
:54:09
Could I talk to you
for a moment?
:54:11
- We got deadlines.
- I know. It'll just take a second.
:54:14
Please?
:54:18
All right. Hurry up.
Make it quick.
:54:23
I'd like to apologize for the things
I said when you first come in here.
:54:30
Oh. All right.
:54:33
- It's about the kid.
- Yeah? What about the kid?
:54:37
Well, just, let me
tell you about him, okay?
:54:40
He comes in here a lot.
Plays a lot of pool.
:54:43
I ain't never
seen him win.
:54:47
There's this one guy, right?
A regular. Plays him all the time.
:54:52
He's a hustler, okay? I mean, everybody
knows he's a hustler, except the kid.
:54:56
The kid thinks, you know,
it's luck.
:54:59
Guy's made a lot of money
off him.
:55:01
Lady, this means
nothing to me.
:55:03
Just wait a second, now.
I'm not finished yet.
:55:06
- You know how Dino said
he paid off the cops?
- Yeah.
:55:10
I don't know if that's true,
but we've had cops...
:55:13
in and out of here
all the time.
:55:16
You know? I mean,
they know Dino. They know me.
:55:20
Now, if I go out there
with you,
:55:25
and I tell them
you're my friend,
:55:27
then you are my friend,
okay?
:55:32
I mean, they'll believe me.
:55:36
Hmm?
How's that sound?
:55:40
I'm still listening.
:55:44
If you take the kid
out there...
:55:48
They don't know the kid.
:55:50
I mean, they're gonna
question both of you, separately.
:55:54
Kid's family
is gonna be there.
:55:56
Hard enough to lie
to the police,
:55:58
let alone
your own family.
