"Money, guns, cars - I'd be your father from here on." " What's my end?" " You get a price." "No negotiation." "We got expenses here you don't have." "But you'll know the price upfront." " How big?" " Boxcar." "Nothin' under six figures." "I'll make you a millionaire." "I go to work for you, I'm pullin' a lot of exposure." " Our protection trades that off." " Take a bust?"

"He's a master thief, a master, and a great man." "He was like a father." "He taught me everything that I know about what I do." "And I told him about you." "Did you cut these out from magazines?" "Yeah." "Newspapers, whatever." "Why all of these dead people?" "Inside, you are on ice from time." "You can't even die right, you know?" "And here?" "Here, people grow." "They get old." "They die." "Children come after." "Just a cycle, you know?" "I don't know." "I..." "Yes, you do." "You do." "You don't know from one day to the next whether you're going to be killed, go home, or get busted." "Look, I have run out of time." "I have lost it all." "So I can't work fast enough to catch up, and I can't run fast enough to catch up." "And the only thing that catches me up is doin' my magic act." "But it ends, you know?" "It will end." "When I got this, right there, it ends, it's over." "So I'm just asking you... to be with me."

"Four silent ringers into an alarm company over the phone lines." "Infrared pots." "Magnetics on the front door." "Sonic alarm." "Vault door's bugged." " What's this?" " Top floor." "Top of the elevator shafts." "Floors eight through 14's alarm lines conduit with the phones through the shaft." "What about taking the elevator to the top floor, open the hatch, goin' in that way?" "No." "Elevators are locked and bugged at night." "I gotta take out two systems." "Chop through the roof, get the lines." "If we get the alarm, what is the box?" " Richmond Lackett." " (Frank) Richmond Lackett?" "Yeah." " Terrific." "It's a burn job." " No way to drill?" " Drill?" " Yeah." "Drill what?" "They're custom-made." "You bang on this box all day, nothin' happens." "And I am pulling a lot of exposure." "16, 18 hours in there." "Your end covers the risk. 830,000." "Four million at wholesale in unmounted stones." " What's the fifth alarm?" " We can not run it down." " Why?" " It does not go out over the phone lines." "We swept the lines in the whole building." "But we know it is there." " How long?" " Four, eight weeks." "Assuming we get the alarm and what to cut the box with." "I need a couple of Cal licences, and bring the work cars here." "OK." "I'll set it up." "What time's our plane?" " We're on the 2.30." " (Frank) Stay here." "Make that fifth alarm." "Do you like it?" "I mean, do you think it'll do?" "It's OK?" "Frank, I love it." "I love it." "I think it's terrific." "What are you looking at?" "You, that's all." "Sam." " How you doin'?" " I'm golden, scoring like a champ." "I need a favour." "How's Okla?" "Angina." "I'm makin' some moves to get him out of there." "I got a hearing fixed up." "Who's the yo-yo in the white coat?" "Metallurgist." "Son-in-law's idea." "A load of tubing comes in, I taste it." "I smell it." "I chew it." "I spit on it." "Hey, scientist cocksucker!" "18 per cent zinc. 14 per cent copper." "38 per cent tin." "The one per cent, I don't know." "A white coat." "Around here, he wears a white coat." "What's he gonna discover?" "Penicillin?" "You gotta be a real putz to wear a white coat around here." "Huey, excuse us." " What kinda steel?" " Swedish cold-rolled, 247." "Here, here, here and here - one-inch plates." "Copper to bind drills." "Titanium alloy here." "This is a well-made, very expensive, very special vault." "English?" "Richmond and Lackett?" "I need a very special piece of equipment." " Drill a hole in the lock box..." " Each one is different." "There's no way of telling where the lock box is." "I wanna cut a new door, walk in." "Seven, eight thousand degrees?" "Portable equipment?" "There's no other way to do it?" "No." "Sonny, if I can build something, it's gonna be a son of a bitch to use." "OK." "So is it worth it?" "It is worth it." " You sweep the phone?" " Weekly." "It's clean." "Hello?" "I'm Frank." "Yeah." "Leo said to call about California licences and registrations." "Yeah." "I'll be in Division 126 in an hour." "I'm wearing a grey leather coat." "Good." "So what's to it, Sam?" "I gotta build a section of vault to tell." "I don't know if it's even possible to build a tool that'll cut it like that." "See me in a week." "This petition is that David Okla Bertinneau pleads for Your Honour to modify his 1958 conviction, and to issue a writ of habeas corpus." "But he violated Chapter 38, Section 19-1, burglary."

"When'd you get back?" "Last night, late." "You make that fifth alarm?" "I made the fifth alarm." "Good." " So what's to it?" " OK." "Alarm system number five is a one-channel radio transmitter." " How's it triggered?" " There's a sonic detector off the ceiling." "Now, they set off the alarm every morning when they walk in." "It's tripped." "They have ten seconds to transmit a code word to the alarm company." "Now, the code word goes over the radio." "That's why there's no phone lines." "All right, I tell you what." " You bug it." " All right." "Call Joseph, have him fix you one." "You go back there and you bug 'em for the word." "C'mon." "It's gettin' cold." "Oh." "This LA move, you know?" "It's home free for me, after it's done." "You happy?" "C'mon." "Hey, want something to eat?" "Well... (laughter)" "I see on your application here..." "By the way, you misspelled "male"."

"I was doing time." " You were what?" " Frank, let's go." "Uh, you have to understand, we have more applicants than children." "Then why do you still have kids here?" "As a kid, I would not be falling all over myself to stay in one of these places." "We will relieve you of some of the burden." "The point is, we establish criteria for parenting." "An ex-convict compared to other desirables..." "So we'll take a kid that's not so desirable." "You got a black kid?" "We'll take a black kid." "You got a Chink kid?" " You don't..." " No one likes older kids." "You got an eight-year-old black Chink kid?" "We'll take him." " Frank?" " Wait." "If it's a matter of..." "You know?" "Here." " What is that?" " What is that?" "That is D, flawless, 3.2 carats, emerald cut." " This is not a marketplace." " Right." "You're not smart enough to take this any more than to identify good parents." "Get out of my office." "You did not ask about us or what kind of people we are." "There is a child waiting." "You are denying us him and him us." "Who the hell are you?" " Don't make a scene." " Our criteria..."
