Some people do what they want. 1863 01:49:22,145 --> 01:49:25,106 Other people have to pay through the nose. Such is life. 1864 01:49:25,148 --> 01:49:30,945 Andy, go see him. Tell him maybe it's time he should quit. 1865 01:49:35,909 --> 01:49:38,828 First of all, what they did was totally unconstitutional. 1866 01:49:38,912 --> 01:49:42,665 We're on the list to be heard before the Supreme Court of the United States. 1867 01:49:42,707 --> 01:49:48,213 These guys don't give a fuck about the Supreme Court. They want you to walk away. 1868 01:49:48,296 --> 01:49:52,842 Walk away? Andy, you can't be serious. How can I walk away? Don't you see what's at stake? 1869 01:49:52,926 --> 01:49:56,262 The old man said maybe your friend should give in. 1870 01:49:56,346 --> 01:49:59,182 When the old man says "maybe," that's like a papal bull. 1871 01:49:59,224 --> 01:50:02,102 Not only should you quit, you should run. 1872 01:50:02,185 --> 01:50:06,106 Every time they mention my name in the papers, they mention Nicky too. 1873 01:50:06,189 --> 01:50:08,608 How the fuck does that help? 1874 01:50:08,692 --> 01:50:11,611 The heat he brought down is murder. 1875 01:50:11,695 --> 01:50:17,450 The police department was cooperative. He pissed 'em off. Nobody can make a move anymore. 1876 01:50:17,534 --> 01:50:20,954 - What are you proposing? - I don't know. He doesn't listen to me. 1877 01:50:21,037 --> 01:50:23,873 Maybe he should get lost for awhile. Would that be so bad? 1878 01:50:23,957 --> 01:50:26,459 - They ain't sendin' Nicky nowhere. - If he took a break... 1879 01:50:26,543 --> 01:50:28,753 it would give everybody time to maneuver. 1880 01:50:28,837 --> 01:50:33,717 I would forget about the maneuver. I would just get out. 1881 01:50:36,553 --> 01:50:39,389 I can't do that. 1882 01:50:39,431 --> 01:50:43,685 As soon as Andy got home, Nicky heard about our talk. 1883 01:50:43,727 --> 01:50:46,646 Next morning, bright and early, I get the call. 1884 01:50:46,730 --> 01:50:49,607 Great.

So we figured out another act. 1887 01:50:55,071 --> 01:51:00,577 If a phone's tapped, the Feds can only listen in on the stuff involving crimes. 1888 01:51:00,618 --> 01:51:03,455 So on routine calls, they have to click off after a few minutes. 1889 01:51:03,538 --> 01:51:06,374 Yeah, I got a sprained fuckin' elbow. 1890 01:51:06,416 --> 01:51:08,209 - Yeah. - Meet me at 3:00. 1891 01:51:08,251 --> 01:51:10,879 - At Caesar's? - 100 yards down the road. 1892 01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:14,132 - Why? - Don't ask questions.
