I did everything I could for him

at the trial, but it was hopeless.

He's been released from prison,

...but the long confinement

seems to...

...have unbalanced him seriously.

How do you mean?

He seems to hold me responsible

for everything.

I talked with him on the phone today,

...and he threatened my life.

You'd better call the cops.

If necessary I will,

but I'd prefer not to.

- Why?

- Well, the publicity involved

Just now I'm negotiating

a rather large loan...

...essential for expanding

my operations,

...and if certain of my perspective

backers were to hear...

...that my life has been

threatened, or...

...I had hired someone to protect me.

I see.

But, on the other hand, if I were to

engage a bright young attorney...

...to be constantly at my side...

Nobody would think

a thing about it.

- Exactly.

- That is,

...nobody except me.

'Cause I think about it a lot,

and I wouldn't like it.

Why not?

'Cause I'm a lawyer,

not a bodyguard.

- Yes, I understand.

- I have a career

Someday, I'd like to have

an office of my own.

Someday, I'd like to be able

to sue people like you and...

...Porter and Griswold.

I'll be leaving the country

in two weeks.

That's all the time it would involve.

I don't like to make a detour

for even two weeks.

This might not prove

to be such a detour.

5000$ should go along way towards

opening that office.

I've heard of that kind of money.

Well, what do you say?

If you think I'm going

to turn it down,

...you're crazy.

But then...

...you act a little bit crazy,

anyway.

Believe me, it's worth it to me.

Believe me, it's worth

it to me, too.

Ok. You got yourself a bodyguard

at 5000$ a body

- When do I start?

- You're working right now.

I'm a little bit short of the tools

of my trade.

Help yourself.

Can you get a permit for that?

I have a friend.

Alright, Regan.

Thanks, Matt.

Hi, Damico. How's the kids?

The kids are fine.

What's this about

a gun permit?

They passed a law,

you know, you've...

...got to have one to carry

one of these things.

You're not suppose to carry it

until after you have the permit.

- Where'd you get it?

- Oh, the stuff brought it.

Some of your satisfied

clients after you?

No. It's the man's shortage. One isn't

safe in the streets nowadays.

Why do you want to carry a gun?

'Cause it makes me feel

two feet tall.

Come on, come on.

Oh, there've been prowlers

around my place lately.

Yesterday I've been held up

in rod for 15000$.

An old girlfriend of mine

has threatened my life.

Personally I don't like guys walking

around with guns on them.

I like schoolboys playing

cops and robbers.

A man thinks twice before
