:28:01
- I doubt if you know what it involves.
- I'm a schoolboy. Teach me.

:28:06
You break it up. You know
you can do it in two minutes.

:28:08
At this late date you need explanations?
:28:14
Susie's all I've got. Now she's growing up,
:28:17
I want my relationship with her
to remain at least at par.

:28:20
I don't intend to do anything
to antagonise her if I don't have to.

:28:24
Be warned, son. I'll have to blitz you.
:28:27
Frankly, I don't think
you got the cards to blitz me.

:28:30
- I don't?
- I don't think so.

:28:32
I'll listen for one more minute.
:28:35
A year ago, I did you a certain favour.
:28:37
It was a thing... I never did
such a dirty thing in my life.

:28:40
All right, it's forgotten.
Which brings us up to five weeks ago.

:28:43
"Sidney, I got a nasty problem.
Do so-and-so and I'll appreciate it."

:28:47
Did I say no? I'm the first to admit
it didn't jell as fast as we'd like.

:28:51
But why, all of a sudden,
can't I get you on the phone?

:28:54
And why am I frozen out of the column?
:28:56
- You finished?
- No. Let me finish.

:28:58
I don't like this job.
That boy is dumb on matinée days only.

:29:01
Otherwise he's got a head.
Susan is growing up-two heads.

:29:04
We got a slippery,
dangerous problem here.

:29:07
- Not "we", Sidney. You.
- Correct me if I'm wrong. We.

:29:10
If I'm gonna go out on a limb for you,
you gotta know what's involved.

:29:14
My right hand hasn't seen
my left hand in 30 years.

:29:17
I'll do it, JJ. Don't get me wrong.
I'll go through with it.

:29:21
But stop beating me on the head.
Let me make a living!

:29:24
Sidney, what you promised, do it.
Don't finagle around.

:29:27
It's later than you think.
:29:29
Excuse me, JJ. It's later than you think.
That boy proposed to her.

:29:39
Susie told you that?
:29:43
Uh-huh.
:29:44
- What was her answer?
- She'll discuss it with you at breakfast.

:29:49
That means you've got a plan.
Can you deliver?

:29:52
Tonight. Before you go to bed.
Cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river.

:29:58
Don't be a two-time loser, Sidney.
The penalty could be severe.
