We Like Mike (1997)

Frank John Hughes: Mike Bodak

Quotes 

• Jamie Ross : Mr. Bodak, if you can identify this man, we can re-arrest him.

  Mike Bodak : Two days out of jail and you want me to save your ass? Tell your bosses it'll be 20 years before I owe them anything.

  Jamie Ross : You don't owe them. And since you barely knew Matthew Sherman, I guess you don't owe him either.

  Mike Bodak : Hey, who owes me, Ms. Ross? You act like that other stuff never happened!

  Jamie Ross : I'm sorry.

  Mike Bodak : Yeah, you're really good at that, saying you're sorry.

  Jamie Ross : I actually do feel sorry for you - a decent guy who got screwed. But when a decent guy has the opportunity to put a killer behind bars, he stands up.

• Joostens : You must be out of your mind if you thought we'd agree. Mike's not saying word one at your murder trial unless he gets full immunity on these charges

  Jack McCoy : The Bronx ADA won't agree to that.

  Joostens : Then you have a problem, McCoy.

  Jack McCoy : Mr. Bodak, you promised to testify.

  Joostens : He didn't promise to incriminate himself for bookmaking! Mike, anything you say at the murder trial the Bronx DA can use against you.

  Jack McCoy : I'l.l do everything I can to protect you on the stand, but I need you on the stand!

  Joostens : All right, we're done talking, McCoy.

  Jack McCoy : Mr. Bodak...

  Mike Bodak : What? What am I supposed to say? Look where I am. They want me to finger Ray D'Antoni, Mr. McCoy. They want me for that, you want me for Garcia... I'm gettin' killed here!

  Jack McCoy : I know.

  Mike Bodak : I don't understand. I just helped a guy change a tire. I don't get it.

  Jack McCoy : You help me, Mr. Bodak, and I'll help you.

  Joostens : I don't think he can stand much more of your help.

  Jack McCoy : Fine. Listen to him. Stay here and stand trial for bookmaking while Ricky Garcia is acquitted for lack of evidence.

  Joostens : All right, that's enough, McCoy!

  Jack McCoy : You'll be in jail, and he'll be out there doing drugs and killing people. It's your choice.

  Joostens : It's too risky, Mike.
