Yeah.

That is a sin against God!

That is a sin against country!

Come on, let's just go.

We're just going to go.

Wait one second.

Not only are you an abomination...

...but you are the ugliest transvestite

I've ever seen.

F*** you! That tears it!

I'm the best...

Andy. I got the coins.

I got the coins. Andy?

I got the coins.

Fireman's carry. Like a fireman.

Okay, come on.

Bollingsworth here.

Hello, Bollingsworth, it's Mikey.

I know you told me never to call

your mansion, but this is important.

I'm at Avnet's, but he got away

before I could finish him off.

Don't worry, I'll get him.

Hello? Hello?

How did I ever get into this mess?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Avnet.

Get up here.

- There you are.

- Quick!

I dressed in black as you instructed.

I even brought the black Jaguar.

I'm ready to heist away.

Remember now...

...you're not here to heist away.

Just to watch.

I want to be part of the action.

I want to ruin Melander Stevens

with my bare hands.

You really hate that Melander Stevens,

don't you?

Yes.

I hate Melander Stevens.

The Shiny New Enemies...

...are my crowning achievement

as director of the museum.

A feat you would never have been able

to pull off, my dear Bolly.

You don't know Mandarin like I do.

The coins are coming in tonight.

You must have arranged

quite a lot of security for their arrival.

That's the trick.

I've announced the coins are coming in

Monday morning, in an armed escort.

They're actually arriving tonight,

under cover of darkness...

...in a regular delivery truck.

It's genius.

True genius.

No one will ever steal them

as long as I'm director of the museum.

Yes, I'm sure no one will.

Excuse me.

I heard you are

one of the craziest motherfuckers around.

What do you want, Mr. Businessman?

I wondered if you wanted

to make an obscene amount of cash.

- You're serious, aren't you?

- I never make light of money.

Do I have to have sex with you?

I certainly hope not.

Look, Mr. Avnet...

...let me buy you a gimlet

and perhaps I can explain.

What's your angle?

I mean, obviously you have a ton of money.

You don't need these coins.

It's perfectly simple to explain.

Melander Stevens is my worst enemy.

For example, he was made Grand Boar

at the Hunter's Club without a single kill.

He stole the stewardship of

the Mahjong Society from under my nose.

Recently, he bought the directorship

of the museum...

...a position that was rightfully mine...

...with the donation

of a decidedly questionable Gainsborough.

- I haven't understood a word you've said.

- I hate him.

He cheats...

...and he chews with his mouth open.

This robbery will absolutely ruin him.

But how are we going to fence these...
