Quotes
-
[Bote sitting in a booth of a hole-in-the-wall chinese restaurant, facing the door, is finishing a call, Carson enters and sits across from Bote]
Morgan Bote : Where were you hit?
Julian Carson : I'm fine.
Morgan Bote : [smiling] Where did the bullet hit you?
[Carson points to a spot on his chest above and to his left of his heart]
Morgan Bote : You know that I'm a liar when it suits me to be. An apology from a liar is no apology at all.
[leans forward]
Morgan Bote : But I hope you will believe me when I tell you this. I'm very sorry that I put you in that position.
Julian Carson : I believe you believe that. But I'm not really here for an apology. I just need to know what happened. I want to know if you're apologizing because you didn't want to tell me Harold Harper had a mole in his office, or if you couldn't tell me Harold Harper had a mole in his office because you didn't know.
Morgan Bote : [chuckles] Didn't know? I put her there.
[Carson uncomfortably chuckles and begins to leave]
Morgan Bote : Hold on. Where are you going?
Julian Carson : Mike was worried that you were losing your marbles. This is just you up to some shit that I don't want to know. You're fine.
Morgan Bote : If I were fine, would I be sitting here with you right now?
Julian Carson : What do you mean?
Morgan Bote : I put the mole in Harold Harper's office because Dan Chase asked me to. I did the one thing you must never do in this business. I... I tried to be a good father.
Julian Carson : I'm sorry, Dan Chase is your son?
Morgan Bote : More or less.
[chuckles]
Morgan Bote : More... than less. He and Harold both.
[pause]
Morgan Bote : I broke the rules.
[shakes head]
Morgan Bote : And I never wanted anyone to know about it.
Julian Carson : I don't think anyone should've known about it. But I should've known about it.
Morgan Bote : Well, now you know. And now I'm gonna ask you to help me clean it up, so that no one else ever will. Gonna ask you to do the one thing a good father must never, ever do. I'm gonna ask you to hurt my sons.
