that easy these days.

Things kind of slow, huh?

- They're up and down.

Mostly down. It's tough

getting anything steady.

You can drive a car, can't you?

- Yeah.

Walk me to my hotel. Come on,

it's only a couple of blocks.

Maybe I can put you on to something.

Okay, sure!

- Hold this, will you?

What is your name?

- Tyler. Howard Tyler.

Tyler, eh?

Where are you from, Howard?

- Boston.

Boston, eh?

Throw me that brush, Howard.

One of these days, I'm going back to

Berlin. What a town!

I never could decide between those...

big German frauleins

and those little French dollies.

I gave them all the same break!

Have you ever noticed one thing

all women have in common?

They all like the same color.

Green!

Yes, I know what you mean.

Not bad, eh?

Eau de nuit.

Smells good!

- Smells expensive.

$6.50 a bottle!

A guy gotta keep himself in shape.

I used to play a little handball

at the YMCA.

You never know when you're going

to get in a beef!

What size collar do you wear?

15 and a half.

That's too bad.

None of these I can spare, but...

Feel that. Real silk.

Silk makes my skin itch.

Fasten that, will you?

- Sure.

That's platinum, not silver.

You sure treat yourself alright.

- Yeah. Think I need a shave?

No, you look good!

Jerry...

You know what time is it?

5:
30.

Why?

Are you going somewhere?

- I have to go home.

Jerry, about that job

you mentioned...

My wife doesn't know where I am.

Keep her guessing. They respect

you more that way.

You like this one?

- Yeah, that's good.

Buddy of mine gave it to me.

I liked it and he took it

right off his neck.

I'll introduce you sometime.

He's quite a character!

He can afford it. He averages

20 bucks an hour, five hours per night.

$20 an hour? What does he do?

Run a diamond mine?

What diamond mine? All he

does is pick up 5 little cards.

Only five little cards.

Only he knows what they are

before he picks them up.

That's some job.

I know another guy that averages

$400-500 a week. Sometimes more.

He'd be willing to split with

the right partner.

He's the guy I was thinking about

for you. - For me?

You just have to drive his car.

Think you'd be interested?

What makes you think he'd want

me for a partner?

My personal recommendation.

All you have to do is drive his car.

He does all the work.

What kind of work?

Oh, you know, rob a gas station maybe

a liquor store. Nothing risky.

Oh no, wait, Jerry, I didn't know

that you were...

talking about that kind of work.

Oh. Is something wrong?

I have done many things

in my life, but...

Suit yourself!

Just trying to give you a break.

You asked me, didn't you?

Yes, I asked, but...
