who worked for us
a few years back.

:04:02
When he asked me
what I thought, I said

:04:04
I thought she'd be perfect,
just perfect.

:04:07
That'll stop a kitten if you're lucky.
:04:11
It'll stop a tiger
if you know how to point it.

:04:17
Her name wasn't really
Sue Alabama.

:04:19
It was Sue something Greek
and unpronounceable,

:04:22
but all of us called her Alabama,
so she had it changed back in '25.

:04:26
That was just after she and I
took Nowhere Nickelton

:04:28
at the Biltmore in L.A.
:04:30
She primed him,
and I went in on the cleanup.

:04:34
Sex was nearly all
Sue Alabama ever needed,

:04:37
and she could use it the way
some guys use a blackjack.

:04:41
I still think she was probably
the best I ever worked with.

:05:00
- Five thousand bucks?
- Inside coat pocket.

:05:03
He needed one hand for the money
and the other for the gun.

:05:06
He wasn't good enough
to handle both.

:05:09
If it isn't Pen Pal Morrison.
Hello, Pen Pal.

:05:13
- At least you didn't hit the money.
- I didn't aim at the money.

:05:19
I can't figure him for a cannon.
:05:23
The only thing Pen Pal would ever
use is the U.S. Mail.

:05:26
Extortion.
:05:28
That's why they parked him
in Atlanta for three years.

:05:31
Maybe he just got ambitious.
:05:34
Maybe he did.
:05:38
- No pearls, though?
- No pearls.

:05:41
It was a cute heist, that's all.
Just one small step up from extortion.

:05:49
Where were you gonna
fence them, Chicago?

:05:52
Cincinnati.
:05:53
If you still want them,
you're gonna have to use that shooter.

:05:56
Give me two hours.
:05:58
- Why?
- For old times' sake.
