They play hard ball, you play soft ball. But you will feel good about the whole affair, to be sure, playing by the Rules.
So when they come for you, put you in prison without a trail or any sort of hearing, just haul you off in the night, and after they question you by showing you different instruments, and then lead you to the exit, be sure to call your lawyer, just before they shoot you in the back of the head.
They play hard ball, you play soft ball.
Which is exactly why you don't abandon the law for your own whims.
As Sir Thomas Moore said in "Man for All Seasons",
William Roper [you]: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!
Sir Thomas More [me]: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
William Roper [you]: Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
Sir Thomas More [me]: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
