That comes with a co-pay.

OK, the objective

is to extricate him

from this situation

with his balls intact.

Ray...

Son of a b*tch...

- Holy sh*t.

- How could you!

I give you the best years of my life

and you go and throw it away

to have your sick sex with some whore.

I don't know who you think

you think you are, Mrs. Hatch,

but no one speaks to me like that.

I can't work like this, Mr. Hatch.

We are Rogette's jewelers,

not Bob's Big House of Diamonds.

Diamonds?

To my dearest on this special day.

Much love.

But why are you meeting here?

Our office is in New york, so

Mr. Hatch has been flying in

members of our team

to work on the design

Robert...

Do you like it?

Robert...

I think this concludes our business, Mr Hatch.

So if I want to examine some other items

from your catalogue,

how could we arrange that?

I can have a catalogue

forwarded to your hotel room in Fiji.

You didn't tell her?

Robert!

- We need to go to Rodeo Drive, Hannibal.

- Yes, Mrs. Hatch.

Mr. Hatch needs new swim togs.

And in the future,

I'd rather you didn't improvise travel arrangements.

I was in the moment.

I'll also need a cell phone.

And moment or not, you didn't

have to make it a private island.

We both know he had it coming.

Company car?

I guess anyone can get away

with anything these days.

No we don't alibi crimes,

I will not be an instrument

of recrimination or revenge.

- Beyond that...

- Beyond that?

It's all smoke and mirrors.

So how rich do people

have to be to hire us?

We give discounts to cops, plumbers,

hotel workers and teachers.

Nice to give something back

to the chronically under-paid.

If it makes you feel better,

sometimes our clients stray

but then they go back a little wiser

for the experience.

Anything else?

Overtime, dress code?

Yes, for both.

Do we have a deal?

If I'm there for more than a year,

I want profit sharing.

OK on one condition.

Don't slap the spouse.

Don't micromanage.

Profit sharing?

Perhaps that was a bit much.

But I was temporarily seduced

by her lavish penetrating, truly sublime

attention to detail.

You see my current line of work

is all about

planning for every conceivable contingency

Accounting for every detail.

Every nuance, and every possible mistake.

I know exactly where he is.

Why?

Because I commit the one unpardonable sin.

The one my old partner Jack

would never abide.

I'm forced, on a daily basis

to rely on the intelligence of others

Ten days, Ray.

Ten days I had sleep with my wife.

You got any idea how that is?

Break the rules, these thing happen.

By the way, you'll be

swapping the necklace

You gave her with a real one

in about two days.
