:30:03
- Was your father really a bootlegger?
- For a while. He did a lot of things.

:30:07
What else did he do?
:30:10
Was he crooked? Is that what you mean?
:30:14
I guess you'd say he was crooked.
Want a beer?

:30:17
Yes, please.
:30:21
People say he ran Miami.
:30:23
- He just had a lot of friends.
- Do you?

:30:29
Not the kind you mean.
:30:32
Wife?
:30:35
Yeah, once.
A pretty lady, but she was no friend.

:30:40
I thought
bootlegging went out with prohibition.

:30:43
My old man was stubborn.
He had this import business.

:30:47
Daytime bananas, after midnight booze.
No tax stamps.

:30:50
Same boat, same warehouse.
It used to work pretty good.

:30:54
- Used to?
- I don't like working nights.

:30:57
When did you get out?
:31:01
No, I don't mean jail. I mean,
when did you get out of bootlegging?

:31:05
- I never got into it.
- Why not? It sounds lucratiVe.

:31:08
It's against the law.
:31:14
- Aren't you hot in that?
- No, thanks a lot.

:31:23
So you were never in the business?
:31:25
- That's right. You sorry?
- Are you?

:31:31
Yeah, sometimes. When business is bad.
:31:33
- Then you were tempted?
- I had no choice. My old man said no.

:31:38
When he said no, it was no.
You look as though you're uncomfortable.

:31:42
No, this is very lightweight.
:31:47
You have a record.
:31:52
Yeah. Assaulting a federal officer.
:31:55
The FBI came to my old man's funeral.
They brought cameras.
