HASKINS: Was that what you wanted?
ANDERSON: Fine. It was fine, Tommy. More than I expected.
HASKINS: Good. Some day I’ll tell you how I got those floor plans. It was a gas!
ANDERSON: You want in?
HASKINS: In? On the whole hype?
ANDERSON: Yes.
[Lapse of five seconds.]
HASKINS: How much?
ANDERSON: A fee. Two big ones.
HASKINS: Two? That’s a bit skimpy, isn’t it, darling?
ANDERSON: It’s what I can go. I got six guys to think about.
HASKINS: Are you including Snapper?
ANDERSON: No.
HASKINS: I don’t know … I don’t know. …
ANDERSON: Make up your mind.
HASKINS: Are you anticipating … well, you know … violence?
ANDERSON: No. More than half will be out of the house.
HASKINS: You don’t want me to carry … ?
ANDERSON: No. Just to spot for me. Finger what to take and what to leave. The paintings, the rugs, the silver—shit like that.
[Lapse of four seconds.]
HASKINS: When would I be paid?
ANDERSON: Half before, half after.
HASKINS: I’ve never done anything like this before.
ANDERSON: A piece of cheese. Nothing to worry about. We’ll take our time. The whole fucking place will be ours. Two, three hours … whatever it takes.
HASKINS: Will we wear masks?
ANDERSON: Are you in?
HASKINS: Yes.
ANDERSON: All right. I’ll let you know later this week when we all get together. It’s going to be all right, Tommy.
HASKINS: Oh, God. Oh, Jesus.
