00:24 I'm gonna show you a message this time, okay?
00:26 You understand?
00:27 You listen to him, okay?
00:28 I'm gonna cut you a few on the side.
00:30 There's $30 in there, you can take it.
00:31 Shut up!
00:32 Shut up!
00:33 Ah, what is this motherfucker, huh?
00:36 Wait a minute.
00:37 What is it?
00:38 There's nothing in that bag.
00:39 Shut up!
00:40 You can use that as a camera, we'll take everything, alright?
00:42 Listen, I'm counting to 30 if you move, I'm gonna kill you.
00:45 You understand what I'm saying? Huh?
00:47 These are the ones that robbed you?
00:50 You got him, that's them.
00:51 Throw a book at him.
00:53 If they get convicted,
00:54 you can get them to give you photographs back.
00:57 What about me?
00:59 You're making a porn, old Phil?
01:01 If it was me, and they caught those cocksuckers,
01:04 I'd press charges.
01:06 I had a good life.
01:07 My kids take care of themselves.
01:09 I don't give a fuck if they kill me.
01:12 Hey, Joey, you remember the time that guy tried to rob me down at the track?
01:16 I had just won the exaction, right?
01:18 All of a sudden, I feel this jerk on with his hand in my pocket.
01:21 I'm Sidney the lawyer, this is my card.
01:24 Excuse me, are you sure he's your lawyer?
01:25 He sounds just like my dentist.
01:27 Well, I'm a painless lawyer.
01:29 If you would have come two minutes earlier,
01:31 we would have been in jail right now.
01:32 That's not the point.
01:33 All right, all right.
01:34 The point is...
01:35 All right, listen, can we go talk about it?
01:36 Yeah, come on, let's talk.
01:37 Can we get away from here?
01:38 Please, this place gives me the heebie-jeebies.
01:40 Where's the thing?
01:42 Would you not worry about it?
01:43 Do you know?
01:44 Did you still have it?
01:45 Yeah.
01:46 You got it?
01:47 Yeah, sure, don't worry about it.
01:49 Well, if he says he can get it back, maybe he can get it back for you.
01:52 I don't know, I don't know the guy, though.
01:54 Just forget the film.
01:55 He's probably being bulldozed into the Atlantic or something right now.
01:58 Oh, well, if he says he can get your stuff back, he'll get it back.
02:02 I've got a cup of boiling hot coffee here,
02:05 and I'm gonna throw it in your eyes,
02:08 and you're gonna be blinded,
02:10 and then I'm gonna bash your head in.
02:13 Now get out of here!
02:15 Oh, look at that guy.
02:19 Well, you know how to put the fire out, don't you?
02:22 [fire crackling]
02:25 Yeah, I'm telling you something.
02:35 [sirens]
02:37 You know, it's a good thing that you didn't come any earlier, all right?
02:39 'Cause if you did come earlier, and then we did get put away,
02:42 something would've happened to you, all right?
02:44 But you would be missing or something, do you understand me?
02:46 Do you understand me?
02:48 Maybe you better give me the number of your next of kin
02:51 in case you get measured for cement overshoes, okay?
02:53 There he goes, man!
02:55 Shit!
02:57 Problems, problems. Everybody got problems.
03:04 What am I gonna do if I have a problem?
03:06 Well, you're a professional, right? You know how to fix them.
03:08 Yeah, we fix them. We break them.
03:10 How much was it worth?
03:12 Oh, well, all in all, I spent about $150 on it.
03:16 [laughter]
03:18 I know it's probably not worth the trouble you had to go.
03:20 But it was a year of my time.
03:22 Well, I'm not a g-lob of doner pizza.
03:24 Why do you bring these kids to that?
03:26 [laughter]
03:28 So what do you want from us?
03:30 I don't care about prosecuting these jerks.
03:32 I just want to get the film back.
03:34 Jeez, I wish it would not happen to me. I had a guy like you to deal with.
03:37 I wouldn't have spent three years in prison.
03:39 [laughter]
03:41 You don't mix red wine with white wine.
03:44 You don't go to the cops and then come to us.
03:48 You know, you run over your head.
03:52 Hey, don't worry.
03:54 You made a fool out of me, too.
03:56 Look, I know. The whole thing was a big mistake.
03:59 No mistakes!
04:01 Things happen, that's all.
04:03 You better go to that police station right now and tell them you didn't see him.
04:08 It don't pay to be an honest citizen.
