I had a rule. When you came to see me, one of the first things I'd ever ask you is, listen, at some point they're going to suggest to you that you can cooperate with them, that you could make a deal with them.

I said, listen, man, I'm tired of this shit with you characters. You motherfuckers don't rat on each other if it's not good enough for you. It ain't good enough for my clients. So don't start telling my client what he or she should do. They're not going to do what you don't do. Now shut the fuck up and leave me alone.
