another side of...

Iife or something.

And by the way...

I'm not what you caIIed me.

I just heard somebody taIking.

You don't

aIways hear peopIe taIk?

I don't Iive

the way they do,

and I make some

of them very upset.

And I thought you might be

the same kind of person.

My apoIogies.

Uh, Mr. Gian--

Giancana.

You got it right.

Maybe we...

couId have a drink

or something sometime.

No.

No?
