RACHEL:

I take a straight 15 percent.

Brill's fee varies with risk.

Perhaps you'd be more comfortable

using someone else.

DEAN:

Other than Brill.

RACHEL:

Other than me.

DEAN:

Why would I--

RACHEL:

Someone with whom you don't have

quite so personal a--

DEAN:

I like our history. And I like you.

I'd probably like Brill if I ever

got to--

RACHEL:

He doesn't work that way.

DEAN:

I just want to make sure I'm not

breaking the law.

RACHEL:

You're not.

DEAN:

DEAN:

DEPINTO:

Is this a f***in' joke?

DEAN:

I don't believe it is, no.

DEPINTO:

Why the hell would I--

DEAN:

I've got photographs of you at the

Trenton Ramada looking very--

DEPINTO:

That ain't me.

DEAN:

It's not?

DEPINTO:

You don't know who the f***--

DEAN:

That's not you having a whiskey

DEPINTO:

This is f***ed. You don't know

who's in that--
