may-i be frank, counselor? i suspect your political power as much as i respect it. i don't know why mr. kint has so many faceless allies in city hall, and i don't care. the embarrassment he helped cause the city of new york will not happen here. counselor, i will prosecute your client. i'11 take my chances then. i'11 feel safer without a job if a man like mr. kint is behind bars. you're joking. counselor, you're insulting me.
