EXLEY<br />
Did one of the officers work you<br />
over a little?<br />
No bite. Coates just stares back.<br />
EXLEY<br />
You look like Robinson after<br />
that last LaMotta fight. 'Course<br />
LaMotta looked a lot worse. So<br />
you're twenty-two, right?<br />
COATES<br />
Man, why do you keep asking me<br />
that?<br />
EXLEY<br />
Just getting my facts straight.<br />
Twenty-two makes it a gas chamber<br />
bounce.<br />
You should have pulled this caper<br />
a couple of years ago. Get life,<br />
do a little Youth Authority jolt,<br />
transfer to Folsom a big man.<br />
Orbit on some of that good prison<br />
brew, get yourself a sissy --<br />
COATES<br />
I never truck with no sissies!<br />
EXLEY<br />
That fucking Larry. I almost<br />
believed him.<br />
COATES<br />
Believed what?<br />
EXLEY<br />
Nothing, Ray.<br />
(laughs)<br />
That Larry, he's a pisser. You<br />
did the Casitas Youth Camp with<br />
him, didn't you?<br />
COATES<br />
Man, why're you talkin' about<br />
Larry? His business is his<br />
business.<br />
Unseen by Coates, Exley reaches under the table, takes<br />
hold of one of three toggle switches.
