Det. Lt. McAllen: [enters his office, along with deputy Harold, to see Majestyk standing with another officer] Okay, Ben.
[the deputy leaves the room]
Det. Lt. McAllen: Have a seat.
Vince Majestyk: I've been sitting for four days. I guess another day won't matter. When do I go to trial?
[sits down]
Det. Lt. McAllen: The guy you hit, Bobby Kopas, dropped the charges.
Vince Majestyk: [stands up, relieved] Well...
[grows suspicious]
Vince Majestyk: Why'd he do that?
Det. Lt. McAllen: Said he thought it over. Wasn't important enough to waste a lot of time in court. You think that's the reason?
Vince Majestyk: [happily] Lieutenant, whatever the reason, it's all right with me, as long as I get back to my place.
[starts towards the door]
Det. Lt. McAllen: Maybe you'd better stay here.
Vince Majestyk: [turns around annoyed] Now, why would I do a dumb thing like that?
Det. Lt. McAllen: Because Frank Renda's still walking around free.
Vince Majestyk: Yeah, I know.
Det. Lt. McAllen: The eyeball witness who saw Renda commit murder was a police officer. He was killed when Renda escaped. No witness, no case. You've given Renda a real good reason to want to kill you and I can't think of anything that would stop him from trying.
Vince Majestyk: So, you want me as bait. You don't let me go, unless I hang around. Let him take a whack at me, hmm?
Det. Lt. McAllen: Something like that.
[Majestyk sits back down]
Vince Majestyk: Why is it I get a feeling from you that you hope he pulls it off? Just so you can nail him for murder.
Det. Lt. McAllen: That did enter my mind, but we'll settle for attempted. As I remember it, you're the one that wanted to make the deal, so you could go home and pick your melons. All right... go pick them.
