:36:01
We ain't met.
:36:04
Know who I am?
:36:07
I got a couple
of guesses.

:36:10
I'm the guy you stole
$40,000 from last night.

:36:14
Your suspicion's
correct.

:36:36
I thought you'd be
an older guy.

:36:38
My profession don't
promote career longevity.

:36:40
It's a young man's
business.

:36:43
It don't matter
how I found out.

:36:45
I found out.
:36:47
No matter how sorry
you feel,

:36:49
you're going
to feel sorrier.

:36:50
And it don't matter
