Ditrich
We'll make ourselves a little deal with the commissioner. You won't get more than a year or two.
Cobby
I'm clean! I don't know where Doc went. That's the truth.
Ditrich
They won't believe you at headquarters, Cobby. Every time you'd tell em that, they'd work you over. And you ain't the type that can take it, believe me. You'd spill your guts in half an hour.
