Jimmy and Mike in “Unfinished Business”

Jimmy

Oh, here's your coffee. Hope it's good to the last drop, 'cause I'm billing you the full hour for it.

Mike

That's for you.

Jimmy

Huh, that's very thoughtful. [beat] You serious? Why'd you have me bring that to you?

Mike

Alright, here's what's gonna happen: those two cops out there are from Philadelphia, they've come a long way to see me. When they come in here, we're all gonna have a little chat, and when it's over, the young one– who's been writing in his little notebook–he's gonna take it and put it in his jacket, and when he does that, I want you to take that coffee and spill it on him. Little accident. That's all.

Jimmy

And why, pray tell, would I do that?

Mike

Because I'm asking you to. It's the only reason you're here.

Jimmy

So I'm here because you want me to assault a police officer.

Mike

I am asking you to take a few ounces of lukewarm coffee and spill it on him. I doubt that satisfies the definition of "assault," but, hey, you're the lawyer.
