Don't you see what's at stake? 1923 01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:56,329 The old man said maybe your friend should give in. 1924 01:49:56,419 --> 01:49:59,249 When the old man says "maybe," that's like a papal bull. 1925 01:49:59,289 --> 01:50:02,169 Not only should you quit, you should run. 1926 01:50:02,259 --> 01:50:06,179 Every time they mention my name in the papers, they mention Nicky too. 1927 01:50:06,259 --> 01:50:08,718 How the fuck does that help? 1928 01:50:08,798 --> 01:50:11,718 The heat he brought down is murder. 1929 01:50:11,808 --> 01:50:17,558 The police department was cooperative. He pissed 'em off. Nobody can make a move anymore. 1930 01:50:17,648 --> 01:50:21,017 - What are you proposing? - I don't know. He doesn't listen to me. 1931 01:50:21,107 --> 01:50:23,937 Maybe he should get lost for awhile. Would that be so bad? 1932 01:50:24,027 --> 01:50:26,527 - They ain't sendin' Nicky nowhere. - If he took a break... 1933 01:50:26,607 --> 01:50:28,817 it would give everybody time to maneuver. 1934 01:50:28,907 --> 01:50:33,786 I would forget about the maneuver. I would just get out. 1935 01:50:36,616 --> 01:50:39,456 I can't do that. 1936 01:50:39,496 --> 01:50:43,755 As soon as Andy got home, Nicky heard about our talk. 1937 01:50:43,795 --> 01:50:46,715 Next morning, bright and early, I get the call. 1938 01:50:46,835 --> 01:50:49,715 Great.
