[Chattering]

- [Speaking Foreign Language]
- I come to sit in.

You gonna help me
with my losing streak?

- It's not possible, Bob.
- Maybe not, but you could
give me the illusion.

The illusion.
I've got plenty of that.

So how much does
illusion cost?

- The usual.
- Got a prime here, Said. Should I stick with it?

- What's a prime?
- Special number. Divisible by itself and one.

- You're a mathematician, Bob?
- Yeah. Chaos theory.

- How much? I don't know.
- Two hundred?

- Want to gamble?
- You'd only lose.

[Footsteps]

- You spyin' on me, kid?
- No.

- I work here.
- Since when?

- Since last week.
- You're too young to work here.

- That's not what Remi says.
- Oh, I'm sure it's not.

Besides, you're too old
to do that.

You're right.
We're both lost souls.

- What age are you, kid?
- Seventeen.

Seventeen?
Well, what do you know? Aprime.

What's a prime?

Special number, divisible
by one and itself.

Strange thing about primes is,
the further you get from ze...

- Hey, kid. Hey. Hey.
- Hmm?

Will you shut that door
for me, please?

- Lesson over?
- For now.

[Speaking Foreign Language]

[Speaking French]

[Speaking Arabic
And French]

He said he's taking you with him.
If he lets you book him...

they'll deport him
to Algeria.

[Shouting,
French And Arabic]

And he'd last two days.
He might as well die here as there.

He's gonna count to three.
If they don't drop those guns...

- he's gonna blow your head off.
- [Shouts In Arabic]

He said,
"One. Two. Three.!"

- [Crowd Screams]
- [Groaning]

You know, I swore
I'd never share a needle.

[Groans, Sniffs]

- Why'd you do it?
- I thought you'd put a word in for him.

- Keep him in France. What would he get?
- Possession with intent.

- Five years.
- And for murdering a police officer?

- Throw away the key.
- There you go. That's why.

- You didn't do it for me, then, huh?
- You? Fuck you.

You're my worst nightmare. My bad angel.
How many times have you booked me?

I forget. But once more
and they throw away your key.

- Don't let it happen.
- Thanks for the lesson, schoolteacher.
I'm clean.

You try a new scam, Bob, it won't be me.
The whole system will flatten you.

I've retired. I'm a junkie gambler now.
A big loser. That's all.

- Name the best thief that ever lived.
- Bob?

[Chuckles]
No. Pablo Picasso.

The cat stole from everybody: Rubens,
Delacroix, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Matisse.

- Never got caught. I met him once.
- I'm impressed.

A bullfight.
I bet on the bull, he bet on the matador.

The matador got 26 stitches.
I got a painting.

- Still have it.
- Then you're flush!

No, no, no. I'm broke.
That never sells.

"Portrait ofJacqueline."
Looked like her.

[Policeman]
Just in from Moscow, huh?

[Bob] Why don't you arrest her now?
Get it over with.

- Get what over with?
- The whole dreary cycle.
She'll work the streets.

For her troubles, she'll end up in the river
with a needle in her arm.

- Go on, be a good cop.
- All I see is a girl on a motorbike.

Frisk them.
You'll find a passport.

- There's a thing called the law.
I don't see it being broken.
- Use your imagination.

You're looking for
a replacement for Lydia?

- Stick to your cards, Bob.
- Who's Lydia?

Lydia's in the hospital.
She's been there quite a while.

- I said, stick to your game, okay?
- Yes, my game.

Problem with my game is
luck can fall both ways.

Whereas, with your game,
luck doesn't enter into it.

What's his game,
Monsieur Bob?

It's as old as mine,
but he plays with girls from the sticks...

and the odds are
all his his favor.

- I haven't had a hand like that since...
- What? Since when?

- [Grunts]
- You fucking loser.

[Speaking French]

[Door Slams]

- Bosnia.
- I don't need a guardian.

- No?
- Maybe you do.

So, is that
just bad makeup?

Oh, you got a thing
about eyes.

Only when they're lucky.

So you protect the honor
of widows and orphans, huh?

Oh, you're not backward
for your age.

Night school.
He wasn't my pimp.

Oh, no? So what was he doing
with your passport? [Chuckles]

�ܢ�[Rap In Foreign Language]

- Okay. Five hundred on the corner pocket.
- Sure, Bob.

- Why do you call me Bob?
- Because you try to imitate him.

- Imitate that.
- Yvonne, turn that shit off
and give us some french fries.

Paulo, Raoul.
Anne.

- You want to shoot some pool?
- Not now. She looks hungry.

Oh, let me show her
to a table.

- Smoking or not?
- Smoking.

Your dinner date is old
enough to be your father.

- You should try someone younger.
- I just left someone younger.

- Oh, why?
- He didn't live up to my ideal of manhood.

- But you haven't met me.
Do you always sleep alone?
- Nearly always.

When she's not hanging out
at 5:00 in the morning eating french fries.

- With mayonnaise.
- Are you from Bosnia?

- So that's what it's called now.
- What brought you here?

Mayonnaise.

- 10:00. We're supposed to be at the bodega.
- Yeah.

- See you again.
- Why not?

Don't go giving that
to strange men.

You arranged that fight so you could
pick his pocket? You're a clever guy.

[Chuckles]
I'm a knight in shining armor.

- Yvonne, the bill.
- 38 francs.

- What are we doing?
- We? It's late.

- Bedtime.
- Your place?

- Have you any dough on you?
- Loads. Thirty francs.

Thirty francs? Here, kid. For your hotel.
Good night, kid.

I say red, darling.

- What do you say?
- [Ball Clatters In Wheel]

Black.

- Hey, you!
- Where are you going with that suitcase?

- You had enough?
- The owner of my hotel
has ridiculous principles.

She always wants paying.

The people you owe money to
have always got ridiculous principles.

What happened to the money
I gave you?

- Paid my debts. I owe Remi.
- What debts?

Oh, I'm sure you do.
I won't ask what for.

He set me up here,
said I could pay him back weekly.

- Does he charge interest?
- What's that?

[Scoffs]
Never mind.

- All your worldly belongings in there?
- Yes.

- Where will you sleep tonight?
- Somewhere.

- You want to come to my place?
- Yes.

Don't worry. You got a home.
Get in.

[Anne]
You must have a rich family.

- I can't complain.
- What do you do?

- Ministry of Agriculture.
- What?

[Laughs]
Protection of the horse of France.

Seriously, I love horses.

I'd have sacrificed everything...
my time, my money, my life...

- Isn't that right, Paulo?
- Yeah, that's right.

- It brings in money?
- Never.

Well, I've got to
check my horses.

- Will you be back late?
- Will I be back late, Paulo?

- Never before 6:00.
- Oh.

- I thought that...
- What?

- What did you think?
- You'd stay.

No, no. Why don't you tell Paulo
what you think? Okay?

Hey.

Hey.

[Man On P.A.,
Speaking French]

Prince of Orange. Number seven.
That's my lucky number.

- How much do you want to put on it?
- Everything I got left.

- 70,000 francs.
- Bob, you're crazy. What if you lose?

I'll have hit rock-bottom.
I'll have to change my ways.

- Place it for me.
- Do it yourself.

Me? Place a bet
like that? Never.

[Hooves Clattering]

Prince of Orange.
You could do worse.

Oh, you know,
I'm missing a passport.

- And the girl that went with it.
- She's just a kid, Remi.

- Let her have a life.
- I was investing in her future.

Girls are unreliable.
Horses, now, there's an investment.

- Oh, you're going to give me a tip?
- Prince of Orange. 8-1.

I'd stake my life on it,
and let's call it quits.

I'm not
a betting man, Bob.

- But if I was, you know something?
- Try it. It's a blast.

I have to say you owe me one!
[Cries Out]

- [Whinnies]
- [Grunts, Screams]

- [Men Shouting, Horse Neighing]
- Think it'll make the race?

Why does he have
so much ice cream?

That's all
he can eat sometimes.

- Ah, heroin.
- His lady.

I thought luck
was his lady.

Ah, when one runs out
he turns to the other.

- Why?
- Why?

Who knows?

Why do I want
to kiss your neck?

What about Bob?

What about Bob?
He's given us some space.

Oh. But I thought...

- [Sighs]
- Are you sorry?

�ܢ�[Piano]

[Horses Wheezing]

[Hooves Thundering]

- Okay.
- [Grunts]

- So. Where to, boss?
- Home.

Don't you want to continue
your winning streak?

- [Snorts]
- [Chuckles]

- What happened to home?
- Forget about home.
You're going to Monte Carlo.

- Where in Monte Carlo?
- The Casino Riviera.

- [Groans]
- You see, Bob, I figure
you needed a reason for living.

- Now that your luck's bottomed out.
- That it has.

- The Casino Riviera...
- Has a safe.

- Yeah.
- 80 million in cash deposits
in a safe on a hydraulic lift.

We've been through it already.

So has everybody from here to Paris.
It's impossible.

- Yeah. But that's not it.
- Besides, I'm just a gambler now.

Oh, since when?

- Since my last six convictions.
- Ah.

Let me start again.

The Casino Riviera
has been refurbished.

New owner.
Funded by a Japanese bank.

- So?
- So they're taking it upmarket.

They want to attract
a new class of customer.

- How do they do that?
- Art.

- Art?
- Paintings. On the walls.

- Remember the '80s, Bob?
- No.

TheJaps had so much cash
they couldn't spend it.

- They bought... Yeah.
- Art.

Picasso, Modigliani, Cezanne...
At prices you can't imagine.

So, to recoup their investment,
they hang it on the wall of the casino.

- And you want to lift...
- Fuck the safe!

The paintings.
Worth more than ten years of Grand Prix.

- How?
- Oh. Now you're interested.

[Crickets, Locusts Chirping]

Where's Paulo?

- Helping a friend.
- Oh.

[Woman Talking, Indistinct]

- Better than wallpaper, hmm?
- [Scoffs] No comparison.

- [Bob] What was that song
about Van Gogh?
- "Starry, Starry Night."

So where is
"Starry, Starry Night"?

- Maybe in the Guggenheim.
But don't be picky.
- Let's not be picky.

Come over here.

- La chambre Picasso.
- Oh, that's how it is.

Hello, Jacqueline. Huh!

- Cezanne.
- Yeah. There's only one problem.

- What's that? I know.
- They're fakes.

Good ones.
I think another forger.

- Modigliani. Beautiful, isn't it?
- Yeah.

- You want to rob fakes?
- No, not exactly. Come outside.

- The originals are in there.
- Why are they in there?

It's a Japanese thing.
Protect your investment.

Painting in the vault,
perfect copy on the wall...

- And we crack the vault?
- Yes.

- Yeah.
- And you know the beautiful thing?

- What's the beautiful thing?
- They can't disclose the robbery...

because if they did,
the joint closes.

Who'd come to see
a copy of a Van Gogh?

Either somebody just walked over my grave,
or I'm going through withdrawal.

- Maybe you're excited.
- Who tipped you off?

A friend of mine.

You leaving
the best to last?

Vladimir.
He installed the security system.

[Engine Revving]

- You okay?
- No, I'm not okay.

I'm out of dope, and I'm out of luck,
and I'm tempted.

But I want to die in an old folks' home,
not in a jail.

- Well, then, forget about it.
- We'll need money, a lot of it.

- How do you plan to get it?
- I take out a loan.

- Pretty good deal.
- Fuck that. The interest...

We'll get the money, Bob.
What we need is a plan.

- Don't you have one?
- That's your speciality.

- You know what my plan is?
- You've got one already?

No more gambling!
No more dope!

- Till we pull this off. Of course I'm in.
- So, Bob. You're in?

[Snorting]

[Mumbling]

- Hey.
- Here's the deal.
I'm gonna chain myself to that bed.

I'm gonna need
the bucket, the bedpan...

- and some ice cream.
- Yes, Bob. I'm sorry, Bob.

Oh, Paulo, love means
never having to say you're sorry.

- [Handcuffs Clinking]
- You look good for a man of your age.

What age is that?

You know, Stone Age?

- [Sighs Deeply]
- Kinky, as well.

I feel a confinement
coming on.

- [Key Clattering]
- What do you say when I ask for that key?

- No way.
- Thank you.

[Muttering]
Oh, Jesus.

- So you told him?
- Why do you think he's sweating it out?

- Hi.
- Hey!

I thought you'd been
sent to Algiers.

That cop put in
a word for me.

Thought you were going to blow away.
How kind.

- Seen Bob?
- Why do you want Bob?

- I want to thank him.
- I'll tell him. He'll be touched.

- [Bob Whimpering]
- [Bed Creaking]

[Groaning, Shivering]

[Moaning]

- Give me the key.
- [Door Slams]

- No.
- [Snorting] Give me the key.

I'll do anything you want.

- You would fuck me?
- If that's what you want, then give me the key.

Come and get it,
Mr. Stone Age Man.

Do you like my tits,
Mr. Stone Age Man?

- Give me the key! Give me the key.
- �ܢ� [Humming]

[Clicking Tongue]

Nearly there, Bob.
Nearly there.

- Nearly there.
- Fuck! I can't.

Please, please!
[Laughing]

You know what, Bob?
I think I'm not your type.

[Door Opening, Closing]

[Vomiting]

[Bucket Clattering]

[Picking Up Bucket]

Hey, kid.

Thank you.

One day at a time, Bob.

- Isn't that what they say?
- Yeah.

- [Door Slamming]
- [Gasping, Groaning]

- Said. You prefer Nice to Algiers, huh?
- No comparison.

If you're playing for time,
kid, you don't have any.

- I swear to you I'm not.
- I'm calling Immigration.

- I've got something big!
- How big?

Bob Montagnet
is involved.

- Are you fucking with me?
You know what that means?
- No, just give me time.

- It's personal with you. You like Bob!
- No, no, everyone likes Bob!

- That's part of the problem!
- I like Bob too!

You are on double-duty 24 hours a day.
You find out what he is going to do...

before he has a chance to do it,
because if I have to book him...

I'll carry you personally
to Algiers...

I'll deliver you in cuffs
to whatever fuckin' mullah...

wants to chop you
into pieces over there.

- Is that clear? Is that clear?
- Yes. Yes!

Shh! He's sleeping.

- That's good.
- Three and a half days. Out. Out.

[Puffing]

[Engine Rewing]

�ܢ�['60s Rock]

�ܢ�[Man Singing In French]

�ܢ�[Man Singing Continues]

[Car Crashes]

�ܢ�[Continues Faintly
On Car Radio]

Why are the French so god-awfully bad
at rock 'n' roll?

- What do you mean?
- I mean, look at it.

We give you Elvis Presley,
Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan.

And you give us
Johnny Hallyday.

- Don't talk to me aboutJohnny Hallyday, okay?
- All right, all right.

- �ܢ�[Johnny Hallyday Continues]
- You know, I'm a gambler, Roger.

- Yeah, I know.
- That means I'm good at probabilities.

- I was never good at those.
- Well, I have to be.

Having driven now for about
one hour and 45 minutes...

and having you constantly
in my rearview mirror...

I'd say the probability
is that you're following me.

I was keeping an eye on the Russian girl.
I end up following you.

[Scoffing]
Really?

You're gonna need
a tow truck.

[Church Bells Ringing]

- [Roger] It's your fault.
- No, no, no, no, no.

My mother was born
down there.

She was washing her sheets
in the rocks below...

when a parachute
fell out of the sky.

It carried Vincent Montana,
United States Marine Corps, my father.

She thought he was an angel,
delivered from heaven.

Oh, this was
a sentimental journey.

At our age, Roger,
we have behind us a growing past...

and face
a diminishing future.

- We consider our options.
- Oh, yeah. What are they?

Me? I just go on.
We have to stay clean.

Will you give me a lift
back to Nice?

- Will you stop following me?
- Uh-uh.

Okay.

Philippe? Philippe?

Make up a report, will you? "One silver
Peugeot damaged, near the village of, uh...

Bas-sur-I'Eau."

Get me the file on Bob.

- Bob Montagnet?
- Montagnet, Montana.

Bob le flambeur.
Bob.

What's his passport?
American or French?

Hey. Both.

[Chuckling]
He's growing old, huh?

- There's gratitude for you.
- He's turned snitch.

Of course he has.
All part of the plan.

- You going to share it with anybody?
- Well, we're being watched.

Tried to enter Monaco yesterday.
Had Roger on my tail.

- So you lost him?
- No, I didn't get there.

Visited my mother's
birthplace instead.

- Where was she born?
- I forget.

But as I was lookin' at the place,
whatever it's called...

- I had an epiphany.
- What's an epiphany?

- We set up two robberies. Just stay with me.
- Huh?

This one takes some time.

We do it on the night
before the Grand Prix.

- Are you crazy?
- Maybe, but hear me out.

Every thief around here has been waiting
for years to pull that one off.

So I set it up, finally.
I know they're watching me.

They know
I'm down on my luck.

- Now, you ever heard ofJudas?
- There is a snitch.

Oh, yeah. Always is.
One-time friend. New enemy. Old lover.

You're lucky if you find him
in time to shut him up.

But this time, man,
I don't care.

Maybe I even cultivate him.

- You're not with me.
- Not yet.

On the night before the Grand Prix,
I'm in the casino with you and Paulo.

We pose as gamblers.
We get an inside contact there.

We get the make of the safe, the setup,
as complete as it can be.

But Roger has every cop, every piece of security
in the place watching me.

So what do I do?
What would you do?

- I'd call it off.
- Exactly.

I'd call it off.
But at 5:00 in the morning.

In the meanwhile, we have a crew in the villa
where the real heist takes place.

And they've had six, maybe seven
uninterrupted hours to secure those paintings.

- Okay.
- It's like those paintings.

- We've got a real heist, and a fake.
- Ah-ha.

With the inner complication
that we want to be betrayed.

Now, let's face it.
We generally are.

There's always someone
turning snitch.

This time we welcome the rat, and I let Roger
stay glued to my ass like a bad hemorrhoid...

I can't get rid of.

- Are we having fun yet?
- We will be, if it works.

Yeah, if it works.
We better talk to your Vladimir.

�ܢ�[Patriotic Anthem,
In The Distance]

- Has he a record, this Vladimir?
- Maybe Moscow.

- Why'd he come to you?
- I think it was, uh, pride.

- Pride?
- Yeah. You'll see.

�ܢ�[Jimi Hendrix-Style Guitar,
"Star-Spangled Banner"]

�ܢ�[Continues]

- �ܢ� [Electronic Shrieking]
- Stay back and imagine an invisible square.

�ܢ� [Anthem Resumes]

- �ܢ� [Shrieking]
- I said, stay back and imagine...

an invisible,
motherfucking square.

�ܢ� [Resumes]

So?
What do you guys think?

Well, it's impressive, Vlad.
Really.

You've got to imagine, 30 meters high,
Madison Square Garden.

R.E.M. Are
ready to bite.

We meant
your security system, Vlad.

- �ܢ� [Fades]
- Oh. You're the heist guys.

Yeah. We're not
the rock 'n' roll guys.

Villa St. Pierre.
Quite complicated, like this.

You know how I was going
to call this? "Purple Haze."

Yeah, good choice, Vlad. Get back
to the security system. How does it work?

The way everything works.
Mathematics.

180 i-points in vertical.
The horizontal the same.

That means,
the points of contact equal.

- 180 squared, that's 32,400.
- Very good. But listen.

The horizontals and the verticals
move against each other.

So, in effect,
I've covered infinity.

If anything moves in there, anything that has
body heat more than rigor mortis...

[High-Pitched Wailing,
Ascending]

- What if the power fails?
- Half second delay, the generator kicks in.

Have you ever tried
to heist in half second?

- If the computer fails?
- It cannot.

There is another hard drive connected,
has enough gigabytes to run a cruise missile.

- You know cruise missiles?
- Yeah.

- So it's impregnable?
- Yeah.

- Hi. I'm Vlad.
- Hi. I'm Bob.

- This is Paul.
- Hi, Paul.
- Hi.

- So, why'd you contact us, Vlad?
- Between you and me?

- Yeah.
- I got my family back in Vladivostok
begging me to get them out.

So I got a thinking: The only guy
who could crack impregnable system...

- is the guy who installed it.
- You.

Me. The only way Vlad will crack Vlad system
is with a Vlad system.

- Still with me?
- Almost.

Villa St. Pierre.
I build it here in front of you.

- [Keyboard Clicking]
- Same dimensions, to the centimeter.

I match the movement of the sensors
in my set after those in the villa.

I get into the system so they read what's here,
not what's there.

- Oh.
- Then there is a problem of sound.

- The sound?
- You heist guys make a noise, no?

Wire mesh built into the walls,
floor and the ceiling.

Detects noisy, hammering
heist guys.

The same thing,
I build it here.

The exact dimension.
The alarm rings here...

- but noisy heist guys hammering there.
- Can you do all this?

- I live in hope. Tell you next week.
- Oh.

How do you plug in
to their system?

Their system needs upgrading
every six months.

And my next visit is due
Tuesday, next week.

I could leave there
a beetle.

- Beetle?
- Sorry. It's the wrong word. A "bug."

A miniature fifth column.

Takes instructions from you.

- And, uh, I need a equal partnership.
- Oh.

A "favored nation."

- It's a deal.
- Deal?

Yeah.

�ܢ�[Electric Guitar Resumes]

So.
How do we pay for this?

The son
was sold to a devil.

[Door Slams]

Do you know what Einstein said
about roulette, Anne?

- What?
- It can only be beaten by a gambler...

with infinite capital, playing in a game
without limits for eternity.

- So why play?
- Einstein didn't believe in luck.

[Wheel Spinning]

- Black.
- You're gonna tell me I have to go now, right?

- [Sighs] You can't stay here, Anne.
- [Ball Rattling In Wheel]

Paulo's waiting for you
in the car.

What if I said no?

Well, I think Paulo
would be very disappointed.

- No.
- [Exhales]

Oh, no, no, no, no.
My, my.

[Sighs Deeply]

- Mm. Bob. Oh!
- [Grunts]

[Chuckles, Sighs]

He thinks the sun shines
out of your eyes.

No, he thinks
it shines out of yours.

And the moon.
He imitates you, Bob.

He's a good kid.

Some girls prefer
the real thing.

Oh, ho, you think
I'm the real thing?

You said I'd always
have a home.

If you choose.
He's giving you a job, isn't he?

- So he says.
- So, what else does he say?

"I love you."
All the time.

Only one solution.
Say it back.

I can't.
I never could.

- So, my place?
- You promise I won't regret it?

I promise.

[Door Slamming]

[Shutter Clicking,
Motor Winding]

- Yeah, I'd heard the legend.
- Pamplona. Pablo bet on the matador...

- I bet on the bull.
- And the matador got how many stitches?

- Twenty-six.
- I never believed until now.

Amazing. I mean, the place
to sell this is New York.

No, no, no, no.
Can't go back there.

I'd heard that too.
So, what do you want?

- An advance against the salary.
You take your commission.
- Forty percent.

[Chuckles]
Do we argue that now?

No. Not now.

So, when can I see it?

Milk. Straight up.

- You going through
your second childhood, Bob?
- Twelve steps.

I think I'm on two and a half.
Chin-chin.

- I spoke to Petit Louis.
- So?

- Is he interested?
- Interested enough to talk to you.

Good. We'll need
Fernandez, Luigi and Bill.

- You've turned down Philippe?
- Yeah, all the apostles.

And here comes
one candidate forJudas.

[Bob]
So, they let you out, my friend.

Yeah. Someone put in
a good word for me.

I thought it might be you.
That cop's a friend of yours, no?

- Were there any conditions?
- I had to sign up for rehab.

- So, you're clean too, huh?
- Yeah, I'm clean.

But I've got a line
on some golden brown.

Oh. How are you gonna
make ends meet...

now that you're not filling up
that hole in my arm?

- Ciao, Yvonne.
- Let's go.
- [Yvonne] Ciao.

�ܢ�[North African]

- Is Fernandez around?
- Why you want Fernandez?

Ask him, does he still want pesetas
to open that club in Rio?

- But it's no good if we can't shoot.
- No boom-boom, Louis.

This won't be the movies.

- You mean, I can't even shoot blanks?
- No.

- [Man] Action.!
- Shh!

[Gunshots]

�ܢ�[Man Singing In Arabic]

[No Audible Dialogue]

Oh, you look like
you kept in shape, Philippe.

[Grunting] Yeah. I work out.
But you know the way it is.

- Time passes, we all change.
- Uh-huh, do we ever.

[Laughs] Yeah, well, some
more than others.

- I don't know quite how to put this, Bob.
- Tell me anything, Philippe.

Okay, it's Philippa now.
But if you still want me, I'm in.

- Hey, Luigi. [Indistinct]
- Oui, oui?

[Bob] You know what he used to say:
I never borrow, I steal.

Well, he was a good thief here.
I can see some Ingres.

Bit of Velazquez
in these eyes.

And this neck.
Some of those old Etruscan vases they used to...

pick up on the beaches
at Pompeii.

If this is hot, Bob,
I'm not touching it.

It was a bet.
On my child's life.

If this is hot, your child
won't have a life.

[Both Chuckling]

I've got too many raps
against me already.

There's no signature.

A lot of'em aren't signed.
Here.

- Pamplona, 1969.
- Mm.

- [Chuckles] And that's the signature.
- Yeah.

I'd say, two to three
million dollars...

at auction in New York.

- I take my commission.
- Twenty-five.

- Are you in a position to bargain?
- Thirty then.

- With a 10% advance.
- One and a half million francs.

If there's something you're not telling me,
what's my security?

There's nothing I'm not telling you.
And you have the painting.

Does it come
with wrapping?

Hello, Big Ears.

Hello.

So, how many of you guys knew
Philippe had turned into Philippa?

- Well, I knew.
- I knew too, Bob.
- Yeah?

- You mean, you didn't know?
- Nobody tells me anything.

- Enough about me.
Are you going to tell us why we're here?
- Yes.

- Hello.
- [Yvonne] Hi.

Jack Daniels?

The fakes are cover
for the real.

It travels on the grapevine.
The real one stays mum.

- Yeah.
- How do we keep it mum?

We all trust in each other
in this room.

We've all
worked together.

Any of you lets a whisper out,
I'll lock him in the bathhouse with Philippa.

How do they travel
on the grapevine?

Why do you think
I asked to meet here?

There is your snitch.

See how simple it becomes
when you embrace your own Judas?

Oh, my God.
You did sell your soul.

- I had to sell something.
- To whom?

- Tony Angel.
- Tony Angel?

- I hope you got a fair price.
- I got this.

Fernandez.

Luigi.

Petit Louis.

- Philippa.
- Hey. Aren't you worried about Philippe?

- Why? Should I be?
- Since he...

You know.
Became Philippa.

When he had his balls cut off,
he lost his balls, so to speak?

That's sex discrimination,
Paulo.

- But women, they talk more!
- Does Philippa look like a woman to you?

No, he looks like, uh,
Philippe... with melons.

[Chuckling]
I'd trust Philippa with my life.

I'll tell you what. Tell her if she talks,
I'll cut off her cojones.

Or did she lose them, too?

[Scoffing]

�ܢ�[Techno]

- What was that about?
- You told me to be nice to the patrons.

Now you're jealous.
That's sweet.

[Laughing]

- Don't wait up for me.
- Now I'm jealous. Where are you going?

- I got to meet Bob.
- Always meeting Bob. What is it this time?

�ܢ�[Continues]

[Door Closes, Engine Revs]

[Motorcycle Engine
Starts, Revs]

�ܢ�[Vladimir's Guitar Wailing]

- I could retire on this.
- So R.E.M. Took the bait?

Oh, fuck rock 'n' roll.
You heist guys are easier to deal with.

So, what do
the heist guys think?

- Oh, it's amazing, Vlad.
- Almost.

A problem if you heist guys
get too noisy.

All the system
still in place.

�ܢ� [Chord, Increasing Feedback]

- [Whining, Squealing]
- Over 90 d.B.'s, there is alarm override.

So, we mike ourselves.
Carry a decibel comp.

- Regrettably, the best Vlad can do.
- How about the cameras?

You could have orgy there.
Nobody would notice.

- You into orgies, Bob?
- No, not since '72.

It's a deliberate mistake.
I got a good computer graphics.

But I'm not Cezanne.
I need photographs from the casino...

- to fill all these frames.
- I need to see that vault.

I have an appointment Tuesday
to upgrade their system.

I can't get you in there,
but it doesn't mean you cannot see it.

[Man On TV,
Speaking French]

[Speaking French]

Hey, you!

- Tell me you love me.
- I can't. You know that.

What kind of girl is it
cannot say three words?

Very tired girl.
From a deeply dysfunctional family.

- I say it to you!
- Nobody asked you to.

What do I have to do
to get you to say it?

Huh?

Get me the moon.

[Laughing]

[Speaking French]

I'll do better.

Suppose I told you I was going
to rob the Casino Riviera on
the night before the Grand Prix?

And all for you.

- How much in the safe?
- Is that all you can say?

That's all.

Eighty million francs.

So say it.

Eighty million francs.

[Buzzing]

- It's Roger.
- Are you sure?

- Certain.
- Aw, shit!

- Change of plan?
- Yeah. You gotta take the train.

- And you take the camera.
- You mean this lighter is a camera?

It's a Minox. Do you think
I was gonna go up there with a Nikon?

Take pictures of paintings.
Then play slot machines till I get there.

- How does it work?
- Open it up...

Iook through the viewfinder,
give yourself a light.

- You like smoking?
- Not that much.

There's 24 paintings.
That's 24 Marlboro Lights, I hope.

I was trying
to give it up.

Roger, I've given up my studies
on the probability theory.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah, all that computation addles the brain.

All I can say now is,
"What a coincidence!"

- No. No coincidence. I was following you.
- [Scoffs]

- Hot damn, wrong again.
- You found religion?

I'm paying my respects...
to my mother.

- Do you remember that village
where she was born?
- Yeah. Bas-sur-I'Eau.

- Yeah. That G.I. That came out of the sky?
- What is your father?

Yeah. Well, they moved here,
to the old town.

He became a junkie.
And when he up and left...

she became one of those ladies in black you see
over there lighting candles.

Praying for
her husband's return.

- Were her prayers answered?
- Well, the way all prayers are answered.

Not in the way
she wanted.

He turned up again when I was seven,
clean as a whistle...

with a new wife named Dora...
took me to a new life in America.

And, by the time
I made it back here, well...

- She wasn't lighting candles anymore.
- Yeah.

You know, that's the third
version you've told me.

Well, that's the truth.

- So is it true what they're saying?
- What are they saying?

Well, they say
you're back in business.

- No?
- The only business I'm in, Roger...

is the business
of recovery.

Three weeks. I'm clean.

[Shutter Clicks]

Our daily bread,
forgive us our trespasses...

Have you heard the story
of the Good Thief, Roger?

- No. I'm not religious.
- No. Neither am I.

But when my mother told it,
I guess it stuck.

The Good Thief...
besideJesus on the cross...

and Jesus said to him,
if I remember this right...

"Tonight you will be
with me in paradise."

And the thought that there was a place
in heaven for a thief always made me cry.

[Chuckles]
You want to make me cry now?

You gotta watch this cynicism, Roger.
It's too easy in that job of yours.

- I'll work on my attitude.
- You should. You should.

[Shutter Clicks]

[Multiple Clicks,
Paulo Coughs]

Bob. You saved my life,
but if you try something...

- Try what?
- Do I have to spell it out?
I'll put you down for life.

- You're a cop. That's what you do.
- What are you?

I was good at thieving once, Roger,
and I may not be the Good Thief yet...

but I am trying...
believe me, I am trying.

Now if you excuse me.

I have to
pay my respects.

She was a good woman.
My mother.

[Sighs]

[Shutter Clicking,
Paulo Coughing]

[Anne] What do you know?
It's the Candy Man.

- [Said] Is that my new name?
- Yeah.

Got a kiss for me
this fine evening?

Yeah, sure.
[Chuckles]

Your boyfriend Paulo...
what's he up to?

- Works with Bob.
- On what?

- Doesn't tell me.
- What's he working on, baby?

That surprise.

- On a safe.
- What safe?

Give me first.

[Clicks Lighter]

A safe with 80 million.

That's all I know.

[Chattering In French]

Got a light?

That's it.
I'm giving up smoking.

- Do you know nicotine's
more addictive than heroin?
- Really?

Ask any junkie.

- Are you done?
- Mm-hmm.

- Anyone clock you?
- I don't think so.

Guy with short hair with the ear piece.
Do you notice him?

- Huh? Well, he noticed me.
- Yeah.

Come on.

- You want to see the vault?
- Yeah.

I do my regular check
on their system.

I plant my beetle.
Meanwhile, you enjoy the view.

- From where?
- From the car behind.

A reasonable picture, up to 100 meters.
Then it gets emotional.

- Emotional?
- Kind of fuzzy.

- Oh, emotional.
- [Engine Revving]

[Man Speaking French]

[French]

- [French]
- [Gate Clicking]

- He has some kind of fancy system.
- [Bob] Yes.

- And there is nothing in that vault?
- Oh.

I got a fine assist,
I guess we'll soon find out.

[Car Door Slamming]

Bon soir, monsieur.

- [Turning Pages]
- Plans of the villa.

- Where did you get them?
- Architectural Heritage Society. Very helpful.

Security room, basement.

[Whispering]
Don't you guys know me by now?

- Procedure is procedure.
- Oh!

Procedure is procedure.
Sounds like a techno band from Dusseldorf.

[Beeping]

- Oh.
- Wow!

No fantasist he.

[Rapid Beeping]

Good.

[Electronic Beeping]

Could you...

- Thank you.
- [Bob] Guess what that is.

- What?
- The old Napoleonic sewers.

They run downhill
towards the sea.

That's our way in.
Turn that off. We can watch it later.

Come on.
Do you think I'm blind or something...

that I haven't noticed
what you're up to?

- Yvonne...
- Men coming here to see you,
phone calls, everything.

You're crazy.

Bob, I haven't forgotten
that I opened this bar...

with money you lent me.

- So, if you need money now...
- You're mad, Yvonne.
What put that idea in your head?

If you get yourself arrested,
you wouldn't survive, you bastard.

Would you come and visit me inside,
bring me whiskey in a flask?

- [Yvonne] It wouldn't be the first time.
- Do you know him?

No. Never saw him before.

Why do I
imagine I have?

- Ciao.
- Take care.

Turn around.
Follow me.

- What's up?
- Behind me. You remember him?

Philippa, hop in that doorway
and find out what his beef is.

[Muffled Grunt]

- What the hell?
- Oh.

You think
he whacked Philippa?

Nobody whacks Philippa.
You're twins, right?

We're onto you.
Whoa, whoa.

[Man]
What the fuck do you think you're doin'?

- Get off!
- Philippa! Stop! Stop! Stop!

- My arms are getting tired.
- Phil, be a bit more gentlemanly.

This is Albert. That's Bertram
you're abusing. They're twins.

This is Albert. That's Bertram
you're abusing. They're twins.

Now, say you're sorry.

- Sorry, Albert.
- The name's Bert.

Let's go through it again.
This time pretend I'm slow.

- Slow?
- Yeah, it means stupid, um, kind of.

- It's simplicity itself.
- He's in charge of the deposits to the safe.

They change
the combinations weekly.

- I get the numbers. I make the deposits.
- He gives me the combinations.

The night before the Grand Prix, while he's
in the manager's office, I'm on the floor.

- The staff take me for him.
- He has access to the safe,
and my alibi is solid as a rock.

I see. You've put a lot
of thinking into this.

[Together]
Two heads are better than one.

- So, what was your plan?
- [Sighs] Nothing like yours.

- Infantile in comparison.
- We need help to move that kind of money.

So, if you want in...

- No one's ever seen you together.
- No one in Monte Carlo.

- Give us a day or two to think about it.
Right, Paulo?
- Or three.

You go out the back.
You go out the front.

[Hinges Creak]

- Crazy, boss, huh?
- Totally.

But, you know, we want them
to think we want that safe.

Twins. You see Roger's
following that?

How's he gonna know
they're twins? Tell you what.

Call him in a day or two.
Go through their plan again.

- It has the benefit of originality.
- We've got that meeting.

Yeah. You go out the back.
I'll go out the front. Try to lose Roger.

Start without me
if you have to.

Would you drive me, Roger? I have a meeting.
I'm attending Narcotics Anonymous.

That was your support group
up there?

- Yeah.
- [Engine Starts, Runs]

You're welcome to join me. You should
support me in my battle against my addictions.

Your addictions being...

Gambling and narcotics.

[Raoul] Okay, guys, imagine this is a vault.
All the alarms will be...

coming in from here...

And reinforced steel floor...

- You know, every addict,
Roger, has an enabler.
- Nobody tells me anything.

The one who, through no fault of their own,
maintains the addict in their habit.

- Often needs the addict in their habit.
- [Chuckles]

- Let me guess. Your enabler is...
- Is you.

We're codependents, Roger.
We have been for years.

I mean,
look at you, now.

You're chasin' me, because you imagine
that I'm chasin' a big score.

- [Laughs]
- And maybe the cure starts with you.

- The cure?
- Yeah, because deep down
you want me to try that big one...

if only to see
how I'd do it.

There's nothing I can do
that'll convince you that I'm clean.

It's unhealthy, Roger.

- It means we're both hooked.
- [Raoul] Running through a tunnel...

between the ceiling
and the floor...

Bill packs these mikes... Make sure
you keep that needle below 90. Right, Vlad?

[Bob] You wanna come up?
We can explore these issues further.

- I haven't hit rock bottom yet.
- You will.

- Are you sure?
- The cure starts now. Say it.

- Say what?
- "My name is Roger. I'm an addict in recovery."

- [Laughs] No, no. You say it.
- My name is Bob,
and I'm an addict in recovery.

And today is the first day
of the rest of my life.

[Woman]
My name is Michelle, and I am an addict.

[Men And Women, Together]
Hello, Michelle.

[Woman #2] My name is Anne,
and I am an addict.

- [Together] Hello, Anne.
- My name is Case.

- I am an addict.
- [Together] Hello, Case.

- My name is Bob, and I'm an addict.
- [Together] Hello, Bob.

My name is Francois,
and I'm an addict.

[Together]
Hello, Francois.

[Raoul] Paulo replaces the grill
andjoins Bob and me in the casino.

We keep them busy there.
And... no smoking.

Okay, guys: Mikes, needle, gas main,
grill and casino, eh?

- And that's how it works in theory.
- Yeah, in theory.

We rehearse this on Friday.
Did you explain everything?

- [Raoul] Yeah, yeah.
- [Others Chattering]

Well, we're gonna go in there at night,
all right? Everybody understand that?

�ܢ�[Techno]

So, Remi, have I gone up in the world,
or come down?

From my perspective,
you're kind of standing still.

You can't move
standing still?

I think you should
value yourself more highly.

Think he's right, Said?

- Depends.
- Depends on what?

- On what you're selling.
- Damaged goods. That's me.

Would you prefer
to discuss this in private?

Private? I like private.

Come on, guys.
Come on.

Location, the safe,
the 80 million francs.

- And why should I tell you?
- Because I'll give you pleasant dreams.

- Hmm.
- Look at this.

[Straining]

Paulo. Philippa.

- Gas faucet.
- Right.

Twist it left till it stops.

Okay, boss.

Aaah!
[Shudders]

Hey...

They're gonna rob...

Bank of America,
fourth ofJuly.

- Don't make fun of me, you bitch!
- Learn maturity from the dogs in the street?

I know it's the casino
where they are, okay?

The night before the Grand Prix
in Monte Carlo. Now, fuck off.

- Chill it.!
- What?

Anne?
How are you?

- Okay.
- How are you?

- Good.
- You okay?

- Here.
- Are you certain?

- Yeah.
- It's my bag. I think it's lonely.

- [Electronic Beeping]
- I miss you too.

So, Vlad, that alarms
aren't mobilized?

You still don't believe me?

- What time is it, Raoul?
- Uh, 2:45.

2:45. Okay.
Here goes.

- �ܢ�[Discotheque]
- A lovely kid like you
shouldn't be in a nightclub, you know?

You want me on the streets?

Anne, you don't look 14.
We both know that.

- For you?
- For both of us.

I must be made of gold, then.
Everybody wants a piece of me.

Okay, let's go.
You should get some fresh air. Come on.

[Electric Motor Humming]

Yeah.

- [Alarm Wailing]
- [Tapping On Keyboard]

[Alarm Continues]

[Hammer Hitting Chisel]

[Alarm Wailing]

[Men Chattering, Grunting]

All right.
Two feet of brick.

Keep the sound at
sixty d.B. Should take?

- No. Two more is max.
- All right. Let's get the torch ready.

- [Metal Hits Ground]
- Maybe I should melt myself down...

- [Metal Hits Ground]
- Maybe I should melt myself down...

and give a piece of me
to everyone who wants a piece of me.

Who wants
a piece of you?

- Paulo for one.
- Oh. And what does he want?

- He wants to buy me the moon.
- Oh?

- [Laughs] The moon.
- Mmm.

- Moon's very expensive, you know.
- [Laughs]

And how would he
pay for it?

- The heist.
- Oh, yes. Of course. The heist. Who else?

Said.

- He wants to know
what I know about the heist.
- Oh. What do you know?

Mm, well, what I know
I didn't tell him.

- [Laughs] That's my clever girl.
- [Laughs]

And Monsieur Bob,
he doesn't want money.

He wants what money can't buy.
[Sniffs]

What can't money buy?

Beauty.

- You are being mysterious now.
- Hmm.

Isn't beauty always mysterious?

- Like you.
- Hmm.

- I'm tired, Remi. Will you take me home?
- Of course. Of course.

- Can you keep a secret, Paulo?
- Depends.

After the operation,
everything was the same.

- Everything?
- Ja. I bench press 400 pounds...

- I'm still the same bad motherfucker,
except for...
- Except for what?

- Spiders. Can't take spiders.
- Spiders?

- And there's spiders round that faucet, Paulo.
- Uh-huh.

Can you do
the faucet, Paulo?

- Yeah. I'll... I'll do the faucet for you.
- And keep it between us, Paulo.

I mean, I don't want no laughing.
I got a reputation, you know?

[Footsteps Departing]

Here you go.

- [Opening Bottle]
- [Bottle Cap Hitting Floor]

Paulo.

- What the fuck is...
- I helped your girlfriend home.

- You?
- Yes. Someone has to look out
for her, you know?

She was in a bad way,
out of her head, telling stories.

- Cool. Cool. Cool.
- What stories?

- Cool.
- I said, what fucking stories?

- Something about the safe. 80 million...
- [Grunts]

The quai in Monte Carlo.

Who'd she tell?

Said.

They say
they have a deal.

When he gets her high,
then he fucks her, then...

then she tells him
what the real story is.

It's not true,
you lying pig!

- Get the fuck out of here.
- I swear. I swear... on my tribe's life.

Fuck!

[Paulo Shouting
In Distance, Indistinct]

- [Slap Landing]
- [Sobs]

[Door Slams]

You'll get me shot, cop,
asking to tail like that.

- Bob never killed anyone.
- Always a first time.

You can always take your chances
in Algiers.

Tell me.

The Casino Riviera in Monaco.
There's a safe with 80 million francs.

- I don't believe you.
- Tomorrow night, before the Grand Prix.

Said! Said! Said! Said!

If you want witnesses, Captain,
I saw the whole thing. It was Paulo Turco.

Tell me something useful,
would you?

He was afraid they blow the whistle
about the Casino Riviera.

- I never thought Bob would be that stupid.
- He's not.

- He just wants you to think he is.
- Hello?

- I have this terrible feeling
you're going to tell me something.
- Yes.

- It's not the money. The paintings on the walls!
- What paintings?

You should call the casino.

Bob? What did I do,
Bob? Huh? Huh?

I don't know, honey.
What did you do?

Careful. Now,
pick your feet up.

[Paulo]
Fuck.! I fuck it up bad, man.

- I'm sorry, I lost it.
- What?

Your Romeo here just shot your dealer,
and we have to know what you told him.

- Nothing.
- Don't lie, you drunken bitch.!

- You told him and you fucked him.
- [Tires Screech]

You're a tough guy, Paulo? You shoot a
strung-out kid. What does that make you, huh?

A mean, motherfucking,
gang-banging... bastard!

- Get out of the car, Anne.
- [Door Opens]

Pathetic, fucking cliche!

You're gonna keep driving
till you reach San Remo, tough guy.

- You know where San Remo is?
- It's in Italy?

You're facing a murder rap, Paulo.
That's quite a surprise.

I don't want
any more surprises.

- I'll make it up to you, Bob.
- Okay. Make it up to me in Italy.

- [Door Slams]
- [Engine Starts]

And I'll be grateful, Anne,
if you told me what you said.

I swear, I told him nothing,
but Remi said...

Wait. So Remi
said something?

Mmm.
[Sniffles]

I told him
what Paulo told me...

about the Monte Carlo,
the night before Grand Prix.

Paulo told you that?

Yeah. He said he'd buy me the moon
when you robbed the casino.

When we robbed what
from the casino?

The safe with 80 million.
[Sniffles]

- And that's all Remi told him?
- Mm-hmm.

He said,
"I'll straighten you out."

Okay.
It's okay, kid. It's okay.

[Quietly]
It's okay.

- Anne... No!
- [Anne Gasps, Whimpers]

Hey, you, fake.!
Where's my money?

- So, you knew Picasso?
- Met him once.

Pamplona, wasn't it?
He bet on the matador. You bet on the bull.

- The matador got how many stitches?
- Twenty-six.

Well, it can't have been Pablo. It must have
been Paddy Picasso, his distant Irish cousin...

because I had this canvas
valued in New York.

- It's not worth the fucking freight charge.
It's a fake!
- It's a good fake, though.

Isn't that a contradiction in terms:
"A good fake, a happy homosexual"?

It was painted by Paul Keating,
one of the truly great fake...

- Where did you meet him?
- At a betting shop in Croydon.

- I gave him a tip on...
- Kazinski here is a really great artist.
Show him.

No.! Not her. Not yet.
The picture.

So, if I don't...

- [Tearing Canvas]
- Get my... money back by Monday...

what I do to both your faces
will definitely be cubist.

Call it the new aesthetic.
What do you call it, child?

- The new aesthetic
- Without an anesthetic. When did I say?

- Monday.
- Monday. Come on, Kaz.

[Whimpering]

- [Door Slams]
- It's all right. It's okay.

- Have you ever tried gambling, Anne?
- No.

And I never
knew Picasso.

Well, the thing about Pablo was,
no one ever really knew him.

Just how much trouble
are you in, Bob?

If I told you,
you wouldn't believe me.

Oh, I believe
everything you tell me.

Tell me about gambling.
Do you have any luck left?

- I'll tell you tomorrow.
- [Ball Spinning In Roulette Wheel]

- Did you call the casino?
- They were closed, but I got you this.

- Art.
- Yes, they reopened it last year.

Doesn't add up.

He's going to steal them in full view
on the busiest night of the year?

- [Sighs]
- You should get some sleep, boss.

I know.
I know I should.

[Chatter On Police Radio,
Distant]

[Chatter Continues]

[Engine Stops]

- What the fuck are you doing?
- [Phone Keypad Tones]

[Grunts]

Hey, what's up, guys?

Nothing lately.

Sorry. Complications.
But better late than never.

Bertram, you have a place a guy could sleep
or is it only twin beds?

- I spoke to the casino,
and the manager had no worries.
- [Yawns]

He said the originals are quite secure
at a different location.

- The originals, huh?
- Yeah, in a vault at Villa St. Pierre.

- The ones in the casino are copies for display.
- Oh, my God. It's a fake.

Yes, they're all fakes.
Pathetic, isn't it?

- No, it's beautiful.
- The fakes?

- Anne.
- Hmm.

Do you know the first thing
to learn about gambling?

- What?
- Clothes.

He or she should always
look their best.

- And we don't quite make it.
- No.

So, let's go shopping.

What about this?

Turn around.

Divine.

The best disguise in the world:
Tuxedo and some gel.

Albert, you got some gel?

[Toilet Flushing]

- Gel.
- Thank you.

Gel is essential
when things get complicated.

There.

- We could almost be triplets.
- [Both] Hmm.

- And do you know the second thing?
- Tell me.

- Gambling and dope don't mix.
- The third?

Always play the game to the limit.
Damn the consequences.

Two teams. Six cars in the trap.
I take the villa. You take the casino.

- And be diplomatic
with those monkeys in Monaco.
- What about Bob?

You'll find him playing the tables,
expecting me to tail him.

- Just don't let him leave.
- Do I arrest him?

For playing roulette?

�ܢ�[Woman Singing Opera]

�ܢ�[Continues]

She had a bad end, Mimi.

But then tell me an opera
that has a happy ending.

- She died?
- Uh-huh.

Anne.

You're gonna see
fake glamor...

serious money, and a lot
ofbad plastic surgery.

But remember, the dice
falls the same for all of them.

- That's lesson number four?
- Five and six.

- Hey, where is Paulo?
- Paulo shot a snitch
and had to run to San Remo.

- Do you think he got there, honey?
- I sincerely hope so.

Nothing we can do, Raoul, but play our parts,
and my part was to gamble. So let's gamble.

[Grunting]

Where the fuck's Paulo?

[Tires Screeching]

Hey, so just
how fucked is it?

- Don't know yet.
- Do we call it off?

- It's too late for that.
How do we play this one, Anne?
- To the limit, I think?

You heard that, Raoul... to the limit.
Let's get some chips.

- Cover the grounds. Check all the exits.
- [Tires Squealing]

Go, go, go, go!

No dead bodies tonight.

Do you know
what a prime is, Anne?

- A number divisible by itself and one.
- You remembered. I'm touched.

- Don't play them tonight.
- Why not?

- It's my birthday. I'm not a prime anymore.
- [Croupier, Speaking French]

- [French]
- Yes!

You broke it, Bob...
your losing streak.

Lesson number seven, Anne,
and don't take it the wrong way.

Displays of emotion
are kept to a minimum.

[Bob]
Thank you.

- [Alarm Wailing]
- �ܢ� [Rock, Electric Guitar]

[Drilling]

- [Alarm]
- �ܢ�[Electric Guitar]

[Bob]
There.

There are plainclothes cops
all over, but nothing of Roger.

- Someone's been singing, Bob.
- Yes, but I don't know what tune.

I could check out the villa.
If I see cops on the gate...

If you check out the villa,
you'll invite cops to the gate.

Your choice, Raoul.

- Round she goes.
Where she ends, no one knows.
- Hmm.

[Croupier, Speaking French]

[Bob]
I was right, you know... first time I met you.

Lucky eyes:
One brown, one green.

- Should I get contacts?
- Mm-mm. Never.

[Drilling]

Fucking Paulo.
Fucking spiders.

- [Groans]
- We've got infrared sensors reading...

every centimeter down there.

If a fly buzzes in, the alarm sounds.
Seven digital cameras.

He'll have gotten round your sensors
and gotten round your damn cameras.

And the only question is
where he's comin' in from.

- Let's go downstairs.
- I'll have to disarm the system.

You're not listening.
I think you'll find he's done that for you.

[Engine Starts, Revs]

- How much do you owe the cubist?
- One and a half million francs.

- Have you a long way to go, Bob?
- Rule number eight. Never tempt fate.

We win.

[Crowd Murmuring]

[Murmuring Continues]

[Gasps]

- [Spits]
- Every Alarm in the building
should be screaming by now.

That's technology for you...
always lets you down.

And I bet he can't see us
on his monitors upstairs.

I think we've got a problem.

My God.

That doesn't let you down.

It would almost
have been worth it, Bob.

- Who the fuck is Bob?
- Shh.

[Whispering]
Hello. Hello. Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?
Hello.

Hello? They're coming from underneath.
Check beneath the vault.

Call your men
from the casino immediately.

- [Bob] Another lesson.
- [Anne] What number is this?

Doesn't matter. Always tip.

Private rooms.

[Shouting In French]

It is not looking good, pal.

[Shudders]

[Straining]

- [Gas Hissing]
- Fuck. Fuck!

[Men Screaming, Yelling]

- Aaah! What the fuck?
- Ow.!

- Can't get through the pipe!
- Did you take care of that faucet?

- Does it fucking look like it?
- The fucking gas! [Yelling, Indistinct]

I smell gas.

- Get out of here!
- [Explosion]

- [Flame Roaring]
- [Footsteps Crunching On Debris]

- That's not quite Bob's style.
- What the fuck is Bob's style?

[Exhales]
Somewhat more elegant.

Get in the car!

- Where is Philippa?
- Fuck Philippa. Go!

[Tires Squealing]

Fucking spiders.

Hey, what's wrong
with spiders?

Fucking spiders
made it all go boom.

- Boom, huh?
- Boom, fucking boom!

[Whispering]
What we have is a full house.

- We wanna bet 600,000 francs.
It pays 10 to one.
- Yeah.

[Dealing Cards]

[Chips Being Dispensed]

That's 6 million francs
we just won.

Take this million francs, put it on the ante,
and watch his face.

[Kisses]

- [Siren Blaring]
- [Tires Screech]

[Clears Throat]
Check all cars in and out of Monte Carlo.

They're looking for burned hair
and singed eyebrows. I'm going to the casino.

- Casinos?
- Someone has to tell him he's blown it.

[Both Whispering, Indistinct]

[French]

[Whispering]
That's the manager.

Bon soir, monsieur.

[Manager]
Last call.

- Says who?
- It's almost daylight.

- [Stacks Chips]
- Rosy-fingered dawn.

[Cards Being Dealt]

[Crowd Gasping, Murmuring]

- The house must retire.
- The house sleepy?

Cash, if you please.
Large denominations.

- And it's getting late.
- [Claps]

- [Whispering] The last rule.
- What?

If you're gonna win big,
do it with a girl called Anne.

- Okay?
- Hmm.

- You had a good night, my friend?
- Exceptional. And you?

- Well, exceptional too. I crashed a party.
- What kind of a party?

Well, a boom-fucking-boom one.
I apprehended a transvestite...

who had an interest in art and all along...

[Continues, Indistinct]

[Whispers, Indistinct]

The safe is empty.

- [Hangs Up Telephone]
- I could accept a post-dated check.

- Tell him again, will you?
- Well, it seems someone cracked the safe.

Tell him, hey, of all nights,
just my luck.

- And I am awaiting legal advice.
- How long must we wait?

- I have a meeting in Paris.
- Shall we speed things up and arrest you now?

- Me? On what charges?
- Criminal conspiracy.

- [Roger] Criminal conspiracy
can be hard to prove.
- Impossible in my case.

I've been here all evening.
Look at that crowd.

All witnesses to my presence.
My behavior? Impeccable, I would say.

And to my luck, there hasn't been
a run of luck like that in Monte Carlo...

sinceJoseph Jaggers
broke the bank in 1872.

- 1873, sir.
- There's one way, of course,
the management could avoid paying.

- What are you implying, sir?
- It's unthinkable that a casino
would empty its own safe.

- [Rings]
- Its reputation...
- Its reputation is without peer.

- And your implication is beneath contempt.
- As I said, unthinkable.

- [French]
- [Phone Hanging Up]

- We will insist on a full investigation.
- You certainly should.

I mean, I would
if I was in your situation.

- Would you kindly put a "zock" in it, sir?
- A "zock"?

Put "zit"
in this mouth of yours.

Oh, you mean I should retire with my winnings
and keep my mouth shut?

- I mean shut the fuck up.
- Mmm.

Anne?

[Engine Stops]

- Wow!
- Ah, fuck! [Laughing]

- Yes! Yes! So, tell me again.
Which twin are you?
- The identical one.

- And which share do you get?
- He gets mine. I get his.

Do you always
share this way?

- Sharin' means carin'.
- Okay, okay!

- Hey, you won, you lunatic.
- [Chuckles]

It's not about winning, Roger.
It's about attitude.

Win or lose, you gotta
do 'em both with grace.

- You learn that in recovery?
- Change the things you can.
Accept the things you can't.

And learn the wisdom
to know the difference.

Ah, so, what's the difference between
a run of luck and a casino heist?

[Chuckles] Then again, Roger,
there are some eventualities...

that recovery
doesn't prepare you for.

No. No, no.
No difference, Bob.

- Very little, if you think about it.
- Well...

there'll be an investigation,
and I'll have to insist you stay in France.

- I'll never leave France.
- It could take some time.

- You'll have to talk to my lawyer.
- Who's your lawyer?

Have you any suggestions?

I have a friend of yours in custody
who'll need the best that money can buy.

I'd be careful, Roger. With this much money
she could sue you for damages.

Mm-hmm?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You made it up to me.
Now, get off the phone. Yeah.

- You don't want to talk to Paulo, right?
- No.

- Tell him he doesn't live up
to my ideal of manhood.
- Is there anyone who does?

- Yeah.
- Who?

- My father.
- Oh.

He was a circus strong man.

He used to hang my mother from a high wire,
suspended from his teeth.

- Then one day his teeth broke.
- And?

She got two false legs,
and he got two false teeth.

You're bullshitting me.

- [Laughing]
- You sure?

Yes.

You know, my mother was a rodeo queen,
and she used to wrangle bulls...
