Ben Shockley:
Now I get the big case and I'm picked to go down with it.
Gus Mally:
You don't have to. Neither of us does. Nobody is forcing you to go back to Phoenix. Look, we could go to Canada or Mexico. Anywhere!
Ben Shockley:
[sarcastically]
Sure. And live like kings.
Gus Mally:
I've got some money. Look, I've got my checkbook. $5000 back in Vegas.
Ben Shockley:
And when that runs out?
Gus Mally:
Look, let's then take the money and buy a pickup truck. An old sedan, or something unobtrusive, for God's sake. We'll take the back roads, we'll turn ourselves in to some precinct station. Anything but City Hall! We'll ask for protective custody. Talk to the D.A.
Ben Shockley:
That's exactly what I want you to do.
Gus Mally:
Well, what about you?
Ben Shockley:
Me, I am going in.
Gus Mally:
Why?
Ben Shockley:
We both know why Blakelock picked me for the job. I'm gonna prove he's wrong.
Gus Mally:
Then I'm going with you.
Ben Shockley:
Uh-uh. You're not my prisoner anymore. You can go wherever you want. You get your money, you can take off. This is strictly between me and Blakelock.
Gus Mally:
Look, you said yourself you didn't think the whole thing would work.
Ben Shockley:
At least someone'll know I tried.
Gus Mally:
Who, Blakelock?
Ben Shockley:
No, me.
