The Big Heat1953

Dave Bannion:
It doesn't matter to you that Slim might have been mixed up in a murder?

Mr. Atkins:
Sure it matters, but what can I do about it? I don't know anything.

Dave Bannion:
You're a liar.

Mr. Atkins:
You can't insult me, mister. I said I don't know anything about it, and that's how it stands.

Dave Bannion:
You know, I've been meetin' your kind every day for ten years... scared rabbits that never see anything. You wouldn't stick out your big, fat neck for anybody, would you?

Mr. Atkins:
That's the truth, but it's my big, fat neck. So now, if you're through talkin', I'll get back to work.

Dave Bannion:
I ought to... [Bannion makes a threatening move toward him]

Mr. Atkins:
That won't change my story. Cops get paid to take risks - I'm not. You see, I've got a wife and kids too.
