460 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,595 - to actually invite me to your home. - Jack, who should I turn to but a brother? 461 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,274 - I've been there for you. - I'm here, aren't l? 462 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,990 Don't make sharp cracks. I didn't stoop to call you. I'm in serious trouble. 463 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,799 She won't take money. She won't listen to reason. 464 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:48,715 I even thought of telling everything to Miriam, but she could never live with it. 465 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,190 Add to that her blabbing about my financial indiscretions. 466 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,510 Not that I stole, but I was indiscreet. 467 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,434 And, if they look hard enough, who knows what they'll find? 468 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,798 - What would you like me to do? - I don't know, but she's killing me. 469 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,235 Want me to have somebody talk to her? 470 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,788 - Like what? - Straighten her out. 471 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,877 What do you mean?

Jack, I don't know. 474 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,070 - Well... - Christ, Jack. What are you suggesting? 475 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,431 What did you call me for? 476 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,875 I don't know. I hoped you'd have more experience with something like this. 477 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,954 You called because you need some dirty work done. That's all you ever call for. 478 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,511 Look how bitter you are. 479 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,317 You've staked me plenty of times.

What do you want me to say? 482 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,359 How the hell can I forget about it? I'm fighting for my life. 483 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,432 This woman's gonna destroy everything I've built. 484 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:03,469 That's what I'm saying. If she won't listen to reason, then you go on to the next step. 485 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,358 Threats? Violence? What are we talking about here? 486 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,558 She can be gotten rid of. I know people. Money'll buy whatever's necessary. 487 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,359 I won't even comment on that. That's mind-boggling. 488 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,590 What did you want me to do when you called me? 489 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,672 Not to do dirty work, despite what you think. 490 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,152 Anyway, it's gone beyond just Miriam now. 491 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,395 She's talking financial doings. 492 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:32,909 I'm out of ideas. I don't know what l expected from you, Jack, but some help. 493 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,231 You know, you're not aware of what goes on in this world. 494 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,519 You sit up here with your four acres and your country club and your rich friends. 495 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,831 - Out there in the real world, it's different. - Come on. 496 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,276 - I've met a lot of characters... - I've heard these stories before. 497 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,635 ..from Seventh Avenue, from Atlantic City. 498 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:56,670 And I'm not so high-class that I can avoid looking at reality. I can't afford to be aloof. 499 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:01,231 You come to me with a hell of a problem, and then you get high-handed on me. 500 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,954 I don't mean to be high-handed. I haven't been sleeping. I'm irritable. 501 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,235 OK. Forget I said anything. 502 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,074 Let me just get something straight here. 503 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,551 Am I understanding you right? 504 00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:22,629 Are you suggesting getting rid of her? 505 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,350 You won't be involved. But I'll need some cash. 506 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,149 What will they do? 507 00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:36,629 What'll they do? They'll handle it. 508 00:34:39,240 --> 00:34:43,472 I can't believe I'm talking about a human being. She's not an insect. 509 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,551 You don't just step on her. 510 00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:50,076 I know. Playing hardball was never your game. 511 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,230 You never liked to get your hands dirty. 512 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:57,314 But, apparently, this woman is for real, and this thing isn't just gonna go away. 513 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,671 I can't do it. 514 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,111 I can't think that way. 515 00:35:15,880 --> 00
