Montgomery Brogan, James BroganI told him -- I told Terry he ought to just forget about it, put her out of his mind, but he's -- he's kind of obsessing. It's a little scary, the way he talks about it. He's like, 'Five years from now, she'll be almost out of college. And I'll be thirty-one. Nothing wrong with that.'
It's U.S. Code. There's nothing to argue. Who do I argue with, the fucking grid? It's seventy-eight to ninety-seven months, automatic. I kept him out of stepback, kept him in the world for a few extra months --
They know more than you think. If Brogan's telling the truth, he was touched. The DEA went straight to his sofa. They knew exactly where it was.
This is the third time this month, Montgomery. What's your problem, you're illiterate? You can't write down a message on a piece of paper?
Believe me, Frank, I've studied this. I've looked at the options. Seven years, man. Seven years.
I'm thinking I want to be like that girl from the X-Men, the one who can walk through walls.
We're talking about human behavior, Mr. Gedny. Nothing is one hundred percent certain.
I can't believe he'll be gone for seven years. Someone turns him in and boom, goodbye.
