"Fiddler, Andy.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin."

He's not federal, he's not

local, no law enforcement.

- No sheet. He's clean.

- Yeah, he's too clean.

- Screw him.

- No, wait a minute.

"Istanbul, Turkey.

Customs.

- Trafficking."

- Turkey? He do any time?

- Interpol shows an outstanding warrant.

- He got away from the Turks?

No sh*t. This guy's gotta be

smarter than he looks, huh?

Well, he can't be

any dumber than he looks.

So what's this guy

look like?

Well, he, uh...

he had very good teeth.

- What does he look like?

- He looks good. He looks good.

He had a very nice face,

very handsome face.

He was a very

attractive man.

N... not to me.

Uh, I mean, I am married

to a woman.

And even if I wasn't married,

I don't mean that kind of attractive.

Personally,

- he was not attractive to me.

- Describe him to me.

Short hair.

Short hair

which made his head

look smaller than it actually is,

and I only mention that because I've

been told my head is somewhat large,

and when I looked over at his,

it's like... you know when you look

through binoculars the wrong

way, it-it-it looks...

That's you.

Answer it!

Hello.

- Turk.

- Just a moment, please.

- Can you believe this?

- He wants to talk to the Turk.

- That's you.

- That's me?

- That's you.

- I'm the Turk?

Look at you.

This is the Turk.

Okay, listen, Turk.

When this phone rings, you answer it.

- You understand?

- Yes, I answer it.

- You and you alone. Are we clear?

- Me and me alone, right.

Great. Now listen, you put

the package in the trash can

on the northwest corner of Fort

and Woodward in five minutes.

- Hello.

- So what did he say?

Something about a package

and a trash can.

Look, I have nothing to do

with this. I'm here for a convention.

I don't give a sh*t.

Now what trash can?

Fort and Woodward.

Whoa!

Take this package,

put it in that trash can,

and you can go.

I should point out

to you, sir,

that I am taking

a mental picture of you

just in case there's...

any... trouble.

Hey, you know what?

Th-this... this is not for you.

Who's it for?

Well, it's... it's,

uh, for somebody else.

- Who?

- Just someone.

- Someone you don't know.

- Try me.

No, I'm not trying you.

This is not garbage, okay?

This is business,

so just please

don't touch it.

All right,

give me the bag.

- Give me the bag.

- Oh, Jesus.

It's not your bag.

See what he's doing?

- He took my bag.

- Who is this guy?

- This bag is mine! It's not his.

- Damn!

Okay okay.

What is the matter with you?

- Just let me go. All right.

- Get up. Get up!

- Get in the car. Get in the car!

- I think we should...

We should look

for another can.
