Text

TEACH: You’re only doing the right thing by him, Don. (Pause). Believe me. (Pause). It’s best for everyone. (Pause). What’s done is done. (Pause). So let’s get started. On the thing. Tell me everything.

DON: Like what?

TEACH . . . the guy . . . where does he live . . .

[... … …]

TEACH: (It would be unnatural I wasn’t tense. A guy who isn’t tense. I don’t want him on my side.)

DON: (No.)

TEACH: (You know why?)

DON: (Yeah.)

TEACH: (Okay, then.) It’s good to talk this stuff out.
