To play an angle...
Cop: So you say you're gonna help me take down
the man who killed my partner? I think you're playing an angle, Greedy?
and I don't like it.
Snitch: Of course I'm playing an angle.
What the hell you think I'm doing? Look, Sherrod and his boys go down,
that's what you call a regime change, son. Happens all the time.
And guess who's got next. You do this, Detective, you
get a nice, little, shiny medal, you get peace in the
Terrace, and you get a partner.
