  Fred Packer : [having just gotten into the back seat of the car]  Excited, Pete?

  Pete Tonelli : [nonplussed]  About what?

  Fred Packer : Why, about the fact that you're going to be one of the biggest men in the country tonight.

  Pete Tonelli : [laughing under his breath]  Think so?

  Fred Packer : Think so? After twenty-five years of running the underworld, Benny Costain, the most powerful and most feared man in the country today is going to be waded into... by one Pete Tonelli.

  Pete Tonelli : [nervously]  You got any idea what Mr. Costain does to... people who try things like this?

  Fred Packer : [confidently]  He's not going to be around to do anything, after you get on the stand, Pete.

  Pete Tonelli : [nervously nodding in agreement]  Yeah... maybe.
