:31:02
things are bad.
:31:05
And whether you wanna call a thumb...
:31:09
a finger or a digit...
:31:12
for the sake of this discussion,
it doesn't really matter.
:31:16
You know why?
:31:18
Because whatever you choose to call it...
:31:22
a thumb...
:31:24
has a fingerprint...
:31:27
and the one you sent...
:31:31
had the wrong fucking one.
:31:37
- Mr. Starkman...
- I know my fucking name...
:31:41
you piece of shit!
:31:48
You don't try to extort...
:31:50
a federal fucking prosecutor!
:31:56
And if you do...
:32:00
you don't fuck around!
:32:09
Fuck this.
:32:11
Cutting off his thumb was a stupid order.
:32:12
We would have been derelict
in our responsibilities if we had followed it.
:32:18
Hello.
:32:19
How long could we have kept below radar...
:32:21
with a thumbless, bleeding half-wit?
:32:24
You see, sometimes...
:32:27
one has to use
their professional prerogative...
:32:31
to override a dumb request.
:32:35
With all due respect...
:32:37
even at this point if you were to ask us...
:32:41
to pursue a course of action that would be...
:32:44
let's say, contrary to your best interests...
:32:48
then as awkward as it might be...
:32:52
we would have to take exception.
:32:59
Aside from those of us in this room...
