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.
