Sh-e-e-e-it.
:52:03
Girl saw a pot of honey,
and she licked it clean.

:52:05
Yeah.
:52:06
She's a real smart girl.
:52:09
Now,
you, on the other hand...

:52:11
You're supposed to be smart.
:52:13
Got yourself a scholarship
to a fancy private school, hmm?

:52:17
Not bad for a punk
from Bay Ridge.

:52:19
Yeah, but then you go
and get yourself thrown out

:52:21
for dealing weed
to some rich kids.

:52:24
What up with that?
:52:25
You know what happens to
pretty boys like you in prison?

:52:28
Ooh.
:52:29
They gonna love you.
:52:33
Yeah, maybe.
:52:36
But then again...maybe not.
:52:40
"Jeez, Your Honor, you know,
what can I say?

:52:42
"l messed up.
:52:44
"You know, my mother died.
:52:46
"l-I was so worried
about my father.

:52:48
"l needed to help him out.
:52:49
"My head was a little
turned around.

:52:51
"l got hooked in
with the wrong people,

:52:52
"and I made a big mistake.
:52:54
"l really did,
but...it was my first time.

:52:58
I'm sorry, and it will never,
ever happen again."

:53:04
Time served. Probation.
:53:07
You don't read the papers much,
do you, smart guy?

:53:10
In New York,
:53:11
we've got a wonderful thing
called the Rockefeller Laws.

:53:14
Let me educate you.
:53:16
You had a kilo in your sofa.
:53:18
That kind of weight
makes it an A-1 felony.

:53:21
15 years to life minimum
for first offense.

:53:25
Now, with that much spread
in the sentencing guidelines,

:53:27
the judges take their cues
from the prosecutors.

:53:29
So if Mr. Prosecutor's wife
busted his chops that morning,

:53:32
you're fucked.
:53:33
You're gone for good.
:53:35
If you get lucky --
really lucky --

:53:37
now, let's say he got
some good trim the night before.

:53:40
Maybe he'll plead you off
to an A-2.

:53:42
But that's still three to eight
for first time -- minimum.

:53:46
How much of that stretch
you pull

:53:47
is all up to the mood
of the prosecutor,

:53:50
and he's gonna ask us,
"Did he play ball?"

:53:55
So...
:53:57
why don't you tell us
about your friend Nikolai?
