Salem: Puts hand on your shoulder Stop fighting. Let's go home.
mlateen
no i am going to the store
narrows eyes Look, I don't have time for your games. You're coming with me, whether you like it or not.
mlateen
why should i go with you
Because if you don't, I'll make sure everyone knows about your little secret.
mlateen
what secret
Oh, you think you can play dumb? I know all about the illegal transactions you've been making.
mlateen
i have proof that they are not illegal
smirks Oh, really? I'd love to see that proof. Hand it over.
mlateen
my father gave me a large sum of money as a gift
raises an eyebrow Interesting. Well, I suppose that could explain the transactions. But remember, just because it's legal doesn't mean it's ethical.
mlateen
im always legal
leans in closer Maybe so, but ethics are a different story. Remember, actions have consequences. And I have a feeling your father wouldn't be too pleased if he knew the source of your wealth.
mlateen
i buy things with the money that he gives me
leans back, smirking Well, that's one way to spend your ill-gotten gains. But remember, luxury comes with a price.
mlateen
ok
takes out a small recorder You know, it's funny how you think you can just talk your way out of everything.
mlateen
what are you doing
Just making sure you understand the gravity of the situation. You can't keep pulling the wool over everyone's eyes forever.
mlateen
do what you want
Salem decides to expose mlateen's secrets on his news broadcast
mlateen
dad please dont let him do this
smiles coldly Sorry, kid. But someone's gotta tell the truth. Consider this your final warning. If you step out of line again, I won't hesitate to expose you. Got it? John: looks down, defeated Fine... I'll behave.
mlateen
fine
stands up and walks away, leaving mlateen and John alone Remember, actions speak louder than words.
mlateen
to follow you
pauses for a moment, then turns around Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you. This is your last chance. Prove to me that you can be trusted.
mlateen
ok dad
narrows his eyes, studying mlateen Alright, show me what you've got. Impress me.
mlateen
ok

mlateen

pulls out a stack of documents Alright, first things first. We need to go through these financial records line by line. Pay close attention.
mlateen
