Don't talk. No dilemma. What am I missing?
That only works if you're 100% positive your accomplice won't spill.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Uh, where's the dilemma? Don't talk. No dilemma. What am I missing?
But what if your buddy does talk.
In fact, for either situation (your buddy doesn't talk or he does) you'll do better to talk than to not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When you don't talk, but your buddy does, and all of a sudden you're doing a dime in Sing Sing for something you didn't even plan on doing!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The dilemma is: can you trust your buddy?

As well as, "Should I be a rat bastard and fuck over my buddy? 'Cuz if I don't, and he fucks over me, I'm totally fucked...."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I thought Prisoner's Dilemma was the one where if you push the button, the other person gets punished, but if both of you push the button, um, something bad happens.
Electric shocks, as I learned this version.
But it's the same dilemma, ultimately -- you can get either no punishment or medium punishment; the other guy can get either medium punishment or lots of punishment; and neither of you has any way of knowing what the other is going to do.
Also, philosophers? Sick motherfuckers.

Plus, the cops might be lying. He might not have said dick. But they're hoping you'll doubt him. "He says it was all you, Sparky,"

No, I don't think so. Then there's no dilemma. I think you don't walk if he goes down for it, but you get a lighter sentence.
