Remarkable. Yes... quite remarkable.
- Thank you.
Our field is.. How can I put it?
Somewhat smaller. Less ambitious.
Yes, I am sure I can adjust.
- I am sure you could.
But in a tiny office like this.
I am not sure how we could contain you.
Not even on a temporary basis?
- I hard to feel so. I am truly sorry.
-Stephen! Stephen!
- Heads up Sara. Strike 3 you are out.
Can I talk to you a minute?
- Hey love!
Come and join us.
- You are the best pitchman
- I will be right back.
Everything is coming down to boil.
We have this nice looking Scottish lady..
Who does hand printed wallpaper.
There is a big sale at Sarabigs tomorrow.
- Is it still ok Stephen?
- How much do you need?
- 10000, each.
- Can you give us a bit more time?
Couple of day's maybe.. - Sure!
Ok! You call the kids.
Your turn.
- Hello Mr.Brooker. How do you do!
- It's nice to see you.
- - This is my partner.. Mr. Daniels.
- How do you do sir!
- Please sit down.
- Thank you.
- You are an American?
- Yes Sir! I am afraid so.
You have got a work permit. I take it.
- Of course.
We do not want to do anything illegal.
Well we are not talking of building a skyscraper.
Nothing like that.
What we actually want is to
add 3 extra floors.
- I assume you have planning permission.
- Oh yes. The penholders city. etc.. etc..
- Do you think it will interest you?
- Oh yes. Very much so Sir.
Of course there are some other projects
I am also interested in..
And I must say I am used to ..
more creative control.
Well, the exterior must harmonize the building
which goes without saying. Apart from those
Apart from those, we can promise you
entirely free hand.
- That's sounds exciting.
- What do you think of it?
If we are to offer you the project, when will you
want to have a look at the premises.
- When ever you want.
- Fine.
Well thank you very much
for coming along
Oh, one more thing.. Should you offer me the job
and I accept. I assume there will be .
An initial payment upfront. You know sign of good faith.
- It's as good ass it is in the bank.
- You got it?
- I got it.
- Is it exciting?
- Its a job..
- When do you start?
- I already have.
- Is it good money?
- Well, lets say this...
It's enough for you to continue your project.
- How much?
Well I got 10 percent of the budget, plus
A big b onus if we finish in schedule.
And this is one job I will finish on time.
- Stephen! I am so proud of you.
- I am proud of you.
- We are pretty wonderful couple don't you think?
Typical.
- It is Saturday. Nobody wants to work anymore.
It's like a disease.
- Package for you. Sir!
- Ah! Thank you.
Plans of the building.
I will hold the doors.
- Thank you! We wont be long.
Well here we are.
This is where we want a break through.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Actually it's the foundations
that are trouble us more.
- Foundations?
- Yeah! Will there be enough underpinning..
To take the weight of the 3 extra floors.
- I don't think it will be a problem.
They usually construct these pretty well.
- I hope you are right.
You know, I will have to make a
detailed study of the outside as well.
Well I think we actually got, most of the details here.
That's a plan of this level?
- Yes!
- Is there anything you want to see you here?
- I don't think so. Looks it's all here.
- Well, what are you doing in here?
-Actually we are finishing.
Can I help you?
- No, we have a qualified architect.
Work my dear is what you should be doing.
There is so much dirt here.
Give us a chance. We are all over
for the whole morning.
Well I wont detain you any longer.
Looks like you got a handful.
There is a Mr.Brooker, waiting for you
in the reading room, Sir.
Hey! Nice to see you again.
- Hello Mr. Daniels! Good to see you.
- I am sorry to bother you here.
- No, it's not a problem.
Well I discovered something here. I think
you better take a look at that.
Make a decision
- Well go ahead.
If I take it out here and we have a line of steel ribs
here. And here and here.
Sort of a concealed backrest. We can actually gain
an added 600 sq my of room, here and here.
And that will add to additional 50000 pounds.
What do you think?
Well, its good news. Everybody wants
- I thought you would..
- Well what about the underpinning.
Would it carry that kind of weight?
- Oh very much so, Sir!
I checked the plans Mr. Garner gave me
with the original plans
There will be no problem with that.
Would you like to take a look at that?
Oh no.. It will be probably too technical.
I will leave that to you, if you don't mind.
- Well, that's terrific. Well go-ahead.
- That's all I wanted to hear.
And any time you want to drop in and see me
you can call here after the lunch
I will stay... so feel free.
- Hey! Where are you going?
- I better take some measurements and see the bosses
Bye. And don't be late.
Excuse me! I want to see Mr. Daniels please?
- Mr. Daniels?
- Yes and Mr. garner.
- Oh well, them!
- They are not here.
I will wait.
- There is no point.
- At what time will three be back?
Never.
This is their office.
- Of course.
- I don't follow.
- Well they rented it for a week.
They only rented this for one week?
- That's right! Well there are lots of them here.
- Thank you.
- You never know what will you get next.
- There is a gentleman wishing to see you.
- Thank you.
Excuse me sir! Would you mind?
Putting this on, please.
How nice to see you so soon.
Perhaps we better sit down. Shall we?
I am sorry I don't know
where to begin.
There is no scheme of extending that building ... and.. You don't own it.
They even have never heard of you.
what this is all about.
Yes, you are right.
I don't own that building.
It's the one next door I am interested in.
The International securities bank.
I intend to rob it.
I am going in through the sewers..
Which is why we want you.
All I need is a weekend of your time.
And it will entitle you to 1/7th of the proceeds.
I can guarantee that your share will
not be less than half a million pounds.
- Just one weekend.
- That's how long I calculated it will take.
And whatever made you think that I would
want to get involved in this.
Architect unemployed. .. Formerly with McGregor!
2 mortgages... 2 children in expensive private schools.
Overdraft 50000 pounds and rising
Living beyond the means
Outgoings constant.
You left one thing off your list.
- Whets that?
- You are dealing with an honest man.
- Correct.
Here are 10000 for the work you have
already done.
You are damn right of the work I have already done.
I have given you people a weeks of my time
and I don't have a nickel to show for it.
Why didn't you tell me upfront about this?
You know damn well that I cannot touch that money now.
always time to change your mind.
Not a chance.
Good-bye Mr. Daniels. If that's your name.
