Man,

there won't be a next time.

Why not? We could work together.

Fifty-fifty.

- I don't steal.

- What about the CD?

Everybody steals sometimes.

No, not everybody.

They even include it in the price

to make up for it.

Okay, but why the wallet?

Is that how you make a living?

Like you, only sometimes.

Let's split it.

I don't need the money.

I can teach you what I know.

If you know so much,

why do you need me?

With two it's easier.

Like on the bus.

You were lucky, that's all.

Luck has nothing to do with it.

It takes expertise.

You like that one?

- It's too expensive.

- Do you like it or not?

Here.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

It has the plastic.

Are you crazy?

You didn't warn me!

- Next time I'll let you know.

- There won't be a next time.

- You were scared.

- No, I wasn't.

I didn't even like the dress.

Then I'll keep it.

- You can't use it.

- My girlfriend can.

As if you had one.

If you did you wouldn't be

following me around.

Don't laugh. Count me out.

I'll find someone else.

Really?

Then why spend so much time with me?

You aren't bad at it.

Meet here tomorrow?

If I say yes, will you stop

following me?

I'll think about it.

Goodbye.

I want to sell this.

Got a receipt?

It was my grandfather's.

He died last month.

I only buy things with a receipt.

I imagine you lost it, right?

Is that okay?

It's a family memento.

But you're selling it.

My grandfather and I

didn't get along.

I'm not negotiating.

This is what I pay

for a pen like that one.

It's worth 3 times that.

It's worth 5 times that.

But in this shop...

Have you seen her?

Who?

Ana.

Lots of gypsies come here.

To me they all look the same.

She's brunette, thin...

Speaks with an accent.

I'll tell you what.

If any more misfortune falls upon

your family, God forbid...

bring me whatever you get

and I'll look for her.

If she shows up, I'll tell her

you're looking for her.

Okay?

Yes.

No, really, I can't go.

I'd like to but I swear I can't.

My head...

No, I took some already.

Sure.

I'll see you tomorrow,

I promise.

Have fun. Bye.

Is the job still free?

I might give it a try.

First we give you a try.

- After all I've done?

- So far I've done everything.

- First we see if you can lift.

- Lift what?

Wallets.

You have to look nonchalant.

Let's see it.

You're kidding.

No, look nonchalant.

How's this?

- More.

- More what?

More detached.

Is that the best you can do?

What?

What's going on?

What are you talking about?

I didn't steal any wallet.

Touch me

and I'll call the police.

How was that?

okay, here's the plan.

We take a subway or a bus.

You on one end, me on the other.

I'll watch people as they pay.
