Hey, Amusa thinks
you're a fabulous guy.

:13:02
He's apologetic as hell.
He's happy to go 150.

:13:05
The reason he said 75
was because he got confused.

:13:08
He started thinking in Africa money.
:13:10
You hear? He'll go 150.
That's a good deal. It is.

:13:17
It's good and it's bad.
:13:21
There's a guaranteed return,
and that's good.

:13:23
But the guarantor is Amusa,
and Amusa's a rookie, and that's bad.

:13:28
But it's an easily transportable
object, and that's good.

:13:31
Only it's in a rotten position
in the museum...

:13:34
30 steps to the quickest exit,
and that's bad.

:13:37
And the glass over the stone,
that's bad too, because that's
glass with metal mixed in it.

:13:41
Bullet proof. Shatter proof.
:13:44
But the locks don't look impossible...
three, maybe five, tumblers.

:13:46
But there's no alarm system
and that's the worst because...

:13:49
that means no one's going
to get lazy watching, knowing
the alarm will pick up...

:13:53
their mistakes, which means
the whole thing has got
to be a diversion job.

:13:56
And that's good and that's bad,
because if the diversion's
too big, it'll draw pedestrians.

:14:00
And if the diversion's
not big enough, it won't
draw that watchman.

:14:04
Dortmunder, I don't know
where the hell you are
or what the hell you're sayin'.

:14:08
Just tell me,
will you plan the job?

:14:11
It's what I do.
:14:17
Well, my God, you've expanded.
:14:20
Can't beat the panic business
in this town.

:14:22
Every time the "Daily News" has
a scare headline, people go bananas.

:14:33
Hi. Did you
get what you want?

:14:35
- Yes. Three locks. Thank you.
- Enjoy 'em.

:14:40
- I got some really key guys
I can call for you for the job.
- Okay.

:14:44
And I wouldn't mind doin'
the lock work myself.

:14:46
You make your calls.
That'll be just fine...

:14:48
except I was thinking
of using Saul Neisser for lock man.

:14:51
- No hard feelings.
- Uh, Saul's in jail now.

:14:54
They got him
for letting a lion loose.

:14:59
Hey, we're home!
