- No, no, no.

- If there's anything I can do.

Not at all.

However... (chuckling)

she's always complaining about the

lack of a good pair of scissors.

Ah. How much for your very best pair?

Oh, please.

It would be my pleasure, sir.

Oh, that is too kind.

Thank you. Good day.

Confidence is about trust.

- Can I borrow $50?

- You already have my 50.

Hmm, I suppose you might see it that way.

Do you really think you've

got what it takes, hmm?

Sure.

Convince her to take the money.

- My $50?

- Yep.

But you have to keep the wallet.

Oh, sorry. Is that your wallet?

Um, no. Is it yours?

- No, it's a man's wallet.

- Yes, um...

- Anyway, do you want the money?

- What? No.

I mean, I just thought I'd keep the

wallet, and you could have the...

Here.

See if there's any ID in it.

- Look, a family man.

- Oh, and $50.

- Don't you want it?

- No. Isn't there, like, a card or something?

No. Wait.

All right.

- (change drops)

- (line rings)

Hello. Is this...

Yes, speaking.

Oh, really? Oh, thank goodness.

What is your name?

Sarah. Oh, that's lovely.

(chuckles) Yes, I have

a daughter called Sarah.

Listen, anyway, we've

got your wallet, so...

Look, I'd like to give you a reward.

Those photos mean so much to me.

How does $200 sound?

- That's not necessary.

- No, not at all.

It's for your honesty.

It's such a rare quality.

- Hey! Give me the wallet.

- No, I found it.

- Look, I want the wallet.

- Keep the 50. I'm keeping the wallet.

- It's a man's wallet.

- I want it for my dad. You take the money.

The wallet's worth more than $50.

Yes. So?

Take the money?

No, you idiot. What are you doing?

- Please take the money?

- Oh, my God.

(picks up receiver)

He's an idiot.

He wants to talk to you.

Hello?

You're supposed to say, "How

'bout I sell you the wallet?

How much are you willing to pay?"

This is the guy that

busted your chess swindle?

This is Lawrence. He's no Laurence Olivier.

But he is damn cute.

LAWRENCE (narrating): Yeah.

She didn't say that.

(voices rewinding)

- This is the guy that busted your chess swindle?

- This is Lawrence.

I told you that scam was

rubbish. It's old, and so are you.

Lawrence, meet Sarah.

Come on, Dad. We can do better.

We leave tomorrow night.

WOMEN:
Don't, don't

Don't, don't

Don't, don't

This ordinary thing

Can be more colorful

than you say it is

The cardinal sin

Is to tell a lie, but

now you must give in

The storm came down on you

Just like it was the end

I've never heard of such a thing.

It's like a bus with medical students.

We drive around to help

out country hospitals.

- Medibus.

- But you are not a medical student.

Not yet.
