  1. he said "i'll give you me affidavit", which is a sworn oath. so he's saying basically that he's giving Barney his sworn oath that he will get a cut of his loot.

     

    so yea, Lord S. had the right idea. :)

     

    here's a wikipedia definition of the word affidavit to help clear it up a little more:

     

    An affidavit (pronounced /ˌæfɨˈdeɪvɨt/, a-fə-day-vət) is a written sworn statement of fact voluntarily made by an affiant or deponent under an oath or affirmation administered by a person authorized to do so by law. Such statement is witnessed as to the authenticity of the affiant's signature by a taker of oaths, such as a notary public or commissioner of oaths. The name is Medieval Latin for he has declared upon oath. An affidavit is a type of verified statement or showing, or in other words, it contains a verification, meaning it is under oath or penalty of perjury, and this serves as evidence to its veracity and is required for court proceedings. Not all affidavits require a notary public for execution.

     

    albeit it wasn't a written affidavit, it still applies.

     

    i watch law and order so legal terms such as these are instantly recognizable to me. :)
