Gina, you know how to reach me.

I do!

You're a real good citizen,

Mort, the best.

Ray, can we talk?

Nothing to talk about, baby.

I need more time.

Time's up, old pal,

It's zippo.

So what do I do now?

Just drive.

Where?

You know where. Drive.

It's not meant to happen

for me like this, Ray.

I got a wife, two kids.

It was just business.

I can pay you back.

Say bye-bye, little birdies,

fly, fly far away.

Stop! Don't do this!

Bye-bye.

Did you get through to Sandra?

No.

No, I left her a message, told her

we'd be there around 4:00, 4:30,

and that tomorrow

we'd take her to a magic show.

What did she say?
