:30:04
I don't know anything about your
previous matters. I'm here because...
:30:07
a special situation exists that we feel
you might be able to help us with.
:30:10
Now, what might that be? I've been
in jail longer than Nelson Mandela,
:30:14
so maybe you want me
to run for president.
:30:16
- Not exactly.
- Ah, pity.
:30:19
I feel rather like
Alcamedes.
:30:21
- Who?
- Alcamedes. He was imprisoned
by his king in ancient Greece.
:30:25
Like Sir Walter Raleigh.
Same fate.
:30:28
- James the First.
- Even someone as bright as you...
:30:31
must be aware that, uh, there's
a certain pattern emerging here.
:30:35
Alexander Solzhenitsyn?
:30:37
Yeah, I heard of him. Didn't he
play hockey for the fuckin' Redwings?
:30:41
- That's the chap.
- Get this straight, Pops.
:30:44
I don't like you any more
than you like me.
:30:46
But I'm here to make you
a legitimate offer.
:30:49
You wanna hear
what I have to say or not?
:30:51
By all means,
dear Paxton, by all means.
:30:55
[Paxton]
We got a problem in a place
that I think you know.
:30:58
- There's a hostage situation
on Alcatraz.
- Hostage?
:31:02
Eighty-one tourists.
:31:04
The Rock has become
a tourist attraction?
:31:07
Why don't we cut the shit, huh?
You know the Rock. You broke out.
:31:11
- Yes, successfully.
- Yeah.
:31:14
So why don't you do yourself
a favour while you're helpin' us.
:31:17
I mean, it'd be nice to get out
ofjail while you're still vertical.
:31:19
Hmm? While you got a little lead
left in your pencil?
:31:24
While I'm considering
your offer,
:31:27
I want a suite
at the Fairmont Hotel.
:31:31
You know, I'm here
to cut you a deal.
:31:34
I am not here to bend over
and take it up the ass from you.
:31:38
Here. Here's a quarter.
:31:45
Do yourself a favour.
Call your lawyer.
:31:48
You're goin' back to jail.
:31:53
- You're sending him back to jail?
- I'm not sending him anywhere.
:31:56
- I'm just givin' him
somethin' to think about.
- With all due respect, sir,
:31:59
I don't think we have time for him
to just sit around and think about it.
