into this life?

- No.

We got to clean up.

- We can't afford to clean up.

I ain't sendin' that kid

to public school.

She may end up unsavory.

- Well, we have to set

an example.

- We need a lot of money

to get out.

- So we do one more job.

- And you think robbing somebody

is setting a good example?

- If that somebody deserves it.

- I hate that b*tch.

- How much?

- $100,000.

- So we go to Russian mafia.

- They will charge same.

- What will we do?

- We have to do job.

- We don't do that anymore.

- If they find us

and send us back to Chechnya,

we will have no choice.

- $100,000

is big job.

- That b*tch Connie

has millions.

- Bad idea.

- She is old.

Easily scared.
