Only a few days left and we still have a tie here.

3. Oh Christ, what a guest to bring to a gun club. You're proably one of them knee-jerk liberals thinks us gun boys shoot our guns because it's an extension of our penises.

I never thought about it that way. But it could be true.

Well, maybe it is. But this is gun country. Can't even own a handgun in New York City. Out here I hardly know a man that doesn't own one.

4. You have a telephone appointment tonight at midnight to speak with the head of the FBI's serial murder task force, Special Agent Bedford. He told me, late last night, that he has been following your work on this case with great interest for about five years. I didn't ask him how. He considers you a man of iron will. For what it's worth, I concur. He also told me that he rotates his people off serial murder cases every 18 months, whether they like it or not, to prevent the inevitable psychological consequences of too much frustration. I...I pretended that I had known that all along. He thinks that I pushed you, and pushed you, in search of your limits. Until I realized that you didn't have any. Privately, I offer my deepest apologies to you and your wife. I hope that someday you can forgive me my ignorance. Anyway....he suggested I not tell you this next, but he said that he starts a new group of recruits through the program every 16 weeks, and the first lecture that he gives is always about you. He calls you the one man in the world that he would least like to have after him: an intelligent, methodical, painstaking, passionate detective who would rather die than give up. Again, I concur.

7. In the business, favors are more important than threats. It's about making people feel wanted and liked. Making them feel appreciated. You find out what they like and you make it happen for them. They want to go to a ball game or a show, you get them the tickets. They want something for their wife or their girlfriend, get them a nice fur. Sometimes all they want's an expensive bottle of wine. If all they want is cash, there's always plenty of that. If you take care of them, this business can take care of you. Just don't spend it all in one place.

I guess I kind of turned into an unbearable shit.

Aren't there a lot of people like that in this business?

Yeah. But it helps if you've got something that nobody can live without. You know somethin' funny? When my first picture became a hit, there were a whole lot of people just lined up waiting to kiss my ass. Then when the movies started to tank, well -- now they're lined up behind somebody else's ass. You gotta have people in your life who are there for you. Whether you're somebody or not.

Did you find somebody like that?

Nope.
