- We never let a runner

go out on the street

with that kind of inventory.

police report and a witness.

left, it's all yours.

I wash my hands.

- You can afford to retire?

- I do not need much.

I found a little place.

- If the insurance company

decides not to pay off?

- Then you're gonna need

a job, but hello Florida.

- Maybe I should just stay home.

- Come on.

forgetting something?

- I don't know, pop.

- Arty, we've been

doing this 30 years.

straight with you.
