And that's a little larceny called "the flue".
:30:04
- I don't get it.
- You don't get it?

:30:07
- You gave me the 20. I gave you the 19.
- Yes.

:30:12
- I just won a dollar.
- Open the envelope.

:30:22
- That's right.
- (laughs)

:30:28
- But I saw you put the $20 bill in there.
- No. That's what you thought you saw.

:30:33
- How did you steal the bill?
- Secrets of the pyramids.

:30:37
It's OK, Joe. Show her.
:30:39
I think we owe her one.
:30:43
All right. The flue revealed.
:30:47
Let's do it again.
:30:50
I come into your store
and I hand you $20 in singles and I say

:30:54
"Could you please give me a $20 bill?"
:30:56
"I have to send
a registered letter to my aunt."

:30:59
You give me the bill, and I seal it.
:31:05
And you watch me seal it in the envelope.
:31:15
A little page in the history of the short con.
:31:21
It's been very nice talking to you.
:31:23
- Here's your cab.
- Thank you.

:31:26
Good night.
:31:29
May I talk to you for a moment?
:31:35
Is my friend square with you
on the 800 dollars?

:31:39
- I thought you'd say that.
- We struck a bargain.

:31:41
You said watch for the tell
and you'd cancel his debt.

:31:44
Are you a man of your word?
:31:47
- All right. He's square.
- May I have the IOU?

:31:52
Hey, you're right.
:31:54
What's right is right.
:31:59
Thank you.
