De Franco could do to organised crime

- if he lives to testify?

- Nice work if you can get it.

What does that mean?

It means it pisses me off, that's all.

God, this guy's a total slime.

Been one of the heads of

organised crime for 40 years.

Then when he wants to retire, he just

gives evidence and walks away scot-free.

Mr Tyler, that 40 years is exactly

why he's so valuable to us.

I mean, if life were fair

we wouldn't need a Justice Department.

No, I guess you wouldn't.

What do you say? Will you help us?

Well, I'd like to...

but this is a bit out of my line.

- Sh*t.

- Martin...

Great. Stick with your

make-believe toy models.

- Mr Tyler's under no obligation.

- Thank you.

Oh, listen, I thank you for coming.

I'm disappointed... You realise

it's important we keep this confidential?

- Yeah, sure.

- And I understand.

I mean, it is a big responsibility.

I appreciate your moral qualms

about De Franco.

I'll remember your moral qualms

next time a teenager OD's on Mafia dope.

Good. You do that.

Leave him alone, Martin.

We'll get McKinnon.

Yeah, that's the guy we should've

gone to in the first place.

- Bill McKinnon?

- Yeah.

It was nice meeting you, Mr Tyler.

Give me 24 hours to think about it?

Hi.

How are you?

"Oh, fine! How are you?"

- I'm great. How are you?

- Sorry. I'm a little preoccupied.

- Did you take that job?

- They're thinking about using McKinnon.

McKinnon? Is there a part for me in it?

You'd work on a job

that used McKinnon instead of me?

Oh, sweetie, never ask an actress

a question like that.

No, there's no part for you in it.

Not in this job.

Then who cares if they use McKinnon?

Bok choy has great texture.

Like alien flesh.

Is that all you ever think about?

I try not to.

What is it? McKinnon?

- No, not exactly.

- Then why are you so serious?

Andy? Rollie.

Yeah, I know what time it is.

I need your radiotelephone.

I'll be right over.

No, just leave it with the doorman.

You go back to sleep, all right?

Good night.

That job that guy wanted me to do?

I think I'll do it.

At 3 o'clock in the morning?

See you.

- What's this? You don't smoke cigars.

- Rollie, please don't. It's personal.

Come on, Andy. I've known you

for four years. What is it?

Just don't look in there. OK?

OK, Andy. Head down Broadway.

I'm not goin' in till noon today.

- Where are we going?

- You are going to return the gear.

I'm gonna see a man about a job.

Now pull over!

Tyler?

Anyone see you come up?

- Did anyone see you?

- No. What the hell are you doing?

- So no one knows you're here.

- My secretary! I told her.

- You're lying, Lipton.

- Jesus! All right, I'm lying!
