The Good Thief Page #8

- It's unthinkable that a casino

would empty its own safe.

- Its reputation...

- Its reputation is without peer.

- And your implication is beneath contempt.

- As I said, unthinkable.

- We will insist on a full investigation.

- You certainly should.

I mean, I would

if I was in your situation.

- Would you kindly put a "zock" in it, sir?

- A "zock"?

Put "zit"

in this mouth of yours.

Oh, you mean I should retire with my winnings

and keep my mouth shut?

- I mean shut the f*** up.

- Mmm.

Anne?

- Wow!

- Ah, f***!

- Yes! Yes! So, tell me again.

Which twin are you?

- The identical one.

- And which share do you get?

- He gets mine. I get his.

Do you always

share this way?

- Sharin' means carin'.

- Okay, okay!

- Hey, you won, you lunatic.

It's not about winning, Roger.

It's about attitude.

Win or lose, you gotta

do 'em both with grace.

- You learn that in recovery?

- Change the things you can.

Accept the things you can't.

And learn the wisdom

to know the difference.

Ah, so, what's the difference between

a run of luck and a casino heist?

Then again, Roger,

there are some eventualities...

that recovery

doesn't prepare you for.

No. No, no.

No difference, Bob.

- Very little, if you think about it.

- Well...

there'll be an investigation,

and I'll have to insist you stay in France.

- I'll never leave France.

- It could take some time.

- You'll have to talk to my lawyer.

- Who's your lawyer?

Have you any suggestions?

I have a friend of yours in custody

who'll need the best that money can buy.

I'd be careful, Roger. With this much money

she could sue you for damages.

Mm-hmm?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You made it up to me.

Now, get off the phone. Yeah.

- You don't want to talk to Paulo, right?

- No.

- Tell him he doesn't live up

to my ideal of manhood.

- Is there anyone who does?

- Yeah.

- Who?

- My father.

- Oh.

He was a circus strong man.

He used to hang my mother from a high wire,

suspended from his teeth.

- Then one day his teeth broke.

- And?

She got two false legs,

and he got two false teeth.

You're bullshitting me.

- You sure?

Yes.

You know, my mother was a rodeo queen,

and she used to wrangle bulls...
