I said that I would see you, because I heard you were a serious man,

to be treated with respect.

But, I must say no to you.

And I'll give you my reason.

It's true, I have a lot of friends in politics.

They wouldn't be friendly long if I was involved in drugs instead of gambling,

which they regard as a harmless vice, but drugs is a dirty business.

It doesn't make any difference to me what a man does for a living.

But your business is... a little dangerous.
