Queenan: There's money behind this operation. You won't be paid as a regular
cop, but there's a bonus involved. Tax free. We can't conceal that you were a
trainee. You'll be convicted of a
crime. We were thinking a guilty plea to assault and battery would make sense.
Dignam: Given your nature.
Queenan: You do enough jail time to convince anyone this is no setup. You'll be on
probation, see a court-ordered shrink, the whole nine yards.
Dignam: If you wanna serve the Commonwealth, this is your chance. We need you
pal. You already pretended to be a Costigan from south Boston.
Billy: Every weekend, sergeant.
Dignam: Perfect.
Queenan: Do it again. For me.
