I'm not involved.

"Who knows?" You shouldn't say things like that if you're just speculating.

[homosexuals]

I'm not speculating! I've got cold hard facts: he followed someone around for weeks, waited for them to do something - that ought to stay private and now he's blackmailing and threatening to spill the beans.

But if that's the kind of guy you want to go getting involved with, wouldn't be much of a stretch past your pal Joe after all.

[holyposition]

How many times do I have to say I'm not involved? It's just on the phones, okay? I'm not meeting him anywhere, I'm sitting on the bed by myself, and it'll stay that way.

My pal Joe? I can't believe you would still say that to me.

You're the one assuming he's doing more than blackmail. If you don't have evidence for that, you're not so unlike McCarthy yourself.

Good. I hope it does. If you were smart - you'd skip the phone too.

Incriminating photos, threats, blackmail - that's not enough for you to pull together a concrete conclusion? I thought you'd learned a thing or two by now. This isn't pulling at straws like one of those goddamn show trials - this is happening here and it's real.

I know he's not your pal. I got...carried away.

[holyposition]

I believe you, okay? But you're acting like he's about to lure me into a dark alley and murder me. That's a big jump from blackmail.










Yeah, you did. And what else?

[homosexuals]

Not that big.

...Fine. I'm sorry.

[holyposition]

Thank you.
