Man Against Crime1949

Mike Barnett:
You're an out-of-towner, Thorton. Before you pushed a parcheesi game, you should have read the penal code.

Thorton:
Maintaining a public nuisance. I can afford that, too.

Mike Barnett:
That's Section 971, but can you afford Section 995?

Thorton:
What's that?

Mike Barnett:
It has to do with swindling. Roughly it means that a friend of mine is calling the cops right now.

Thorton:
Yeah?

Mike Barnett:
Yeah! So you be handy in the morning when the District Attorney institutes a civil suit against you to recover three times what you took from those people out there. That's 995 - can you roll a higher number?
