- Hello? Hi, It's Me. Really? Cool! What do you want me to recover? Will that be dangerous? The Abolie of Saint-Etienne? Okay, but will that be dangerous? Cool! What? No! Not cool at all. So what? You have seen worse! Maybe, but that does not mean that I want to do it again. So what? You're a coward? I don't mind being a coward. I'm fine with it. Now, where was I? Oh yes, sorry, I think I won ... will take the contract! Let me finish my sentences! As long as you're bullshitting, I'll contradict you. Ha, yes, sorry. Basically, I have a split personality. I am Sebastian professional thief, only on reservation, unbeatable rates, quiet running and and without violence. And delivery in discreet packages. And to reward my biggest customers, I offer a loyalty card. The tenth theft is free. Okay, you finished with the commercials? And this is Erica. Rica! My name is Rica! The other one is not call Isabella as far as I know, right? She's called Bella! It's the same for me! It's Rica and that's all! You see what I have to endure? Hey! No, it does not work, I tried. What? So I was saying... You'll be in a lot of pain buddy. How much? How much? Well, yes, actually. Of course it's to be considered! Go for 100 million! You know he's hearing you? So what? We want 100 Million! 90 Million! 90 million! Rica! 90! This is our last price! 75. No, Seb! 90! I'm sure we can make him spit 90! You really don't know anything about bargaining. 70. It's our last offer. Ha, fuck! Deal. Sigh... Okay, no problem. Well, in the end, what is that Abolie you're talking about? What? All that for a pin? It is magic or what? Ha! I understand. And it does what? That's all? As you wish. It's your call. It's your money after all. Well, we'll deal with it, then. Wait! You forgot to ask why! But you really have no education! We never ask this kind of thing to the customer. He wants we steal. Period. Yeah? Well, this time, we do! Am I wrong or is this your biggest contract ever? It's not my biggest contract but close. And it's true that the other one took quite a lot from me. You see? It is important to know why. Why now? Why so much? Will there be competition? What kind of protection for the pin? When you put it that way... So? What for? Really? Okay. And where can we find it? Amsterdam? That's good. I think they have good pastries there... Stay sharp Rica. Sorry. What? And in addition you want us to recover it tomorrow? I agree. It's too rushed. Even for that price. Yes, he can do it! You can do it, Seb. Right? That goes without saying. But I'm not that stupid. Why would I do it for you? What? But what is he talking about? Seb? You're playing a dangerous game, sir. I'm not sure that you take a good measuring all of what's that implying. Yes, I would. Wait, I don't understand. He threatens you? Stay out of it, Rica. Wait, I'm concerned too. What? Where did you learn this about me??? Rica! Very well. We'll do what you ask. You sure we can trust him? Rica, we do not doubt the customer. He knows he has no interest to lie. Fuck, yeah! Anyway, if there is a dirty trick, I would find him. So we trust you. You keep what you know to you and you don't tell anyone under any circumstances. This will be my only warning. Yeah, that's it! What he said!

- fucking bastard! What do we do now? Seb? Seb?
