[Jim's been invited to lunch with Mr. Bannister to dissuade Jim from continuing to try to get his wife, Linda, to testify on Charlie Harris' behalf] It's going to get pretty expensive for you, this... adventure.
I don't see how that could happen. I've cased the deck pretty well, and I know what "trump" is.
You do, huh? Well, try this out: If you continue this investigation, or try, in any way, to involve my wife, I will call some people that I know in Europe, and they will fly over here one night, and they will locate you. They will put a bullet in your head and will be gone within the hour. Now, and that's a '"rump" I presume you probably did not figure on.
