Okay, but if you know that if you both keep quiet, you walk, then why would your buddy talk?
Hmm. I am, it seems, exceedingly naive and not cut out for a life of crime and thuggery.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No, if you both keep quiet, you both get a short sentence. So if your buddy doesn't talk and you do, then you walk. So even in that case, you're better off talking.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I always thought that if you both keep quiet, you'll do a minimal sentence. You only go free if you squeal on the other guy (who then does 10 years or whatever).

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

it's OK. I wouldn't talk either. Maybe we can share a cell after our accomplices rat us out.

Yeah, that's the way I've always heard it. Plus in Tom's quote (from wikipedia?) above, that's the way it is too.

Lawyer up and don't say nothing.
What erika said, Tep. The cops'll tell him you talked and tell you he talked, with props and whatnot to be convincing.

Yeah, I gotta say, my answer is totally different if Frank Pembleton is in the box with me.

On Wikipedia it says if you talk and your buddy doesn't, you go free and he gets ten years. If neither of you talk, you both get six months. And if you both talk you each get five years.

I spit upon Macy's.
I haven't shopped at Macy's since they bought Rich's and put on the Macy's name. The Marshall Fields thing just made me madder. When I get mad, I stay mad. I haven't bought gas from Exxon since the Exxon Valdez spill.
