LOUIS: Who was that?

ORDELL: That was Beaumont.

LOUIS: Who was Beaumont?

ORDELL: An employee I had to let go.

LOUIS: What did he do?

ORDELL: He put himself into a position where he was gonna have to do ten years in prison, that's what he did. (taking out a Viceroy and lighting it up) And if you know Beaumont, you know ain't no goddamn way he could do ten years.  And if you know that, and you know Beaumont's gonna do anything Beaumont can to keep from doin' those ten years including telling the Federal government any and every motherfuckin' thing about my black ass.  Now that, my friend, is a clear cut case of him or me. And you best believe it ain't gonna be me.
