Thief Page #4

Synopsis: Frank is an expert professional safecracker, specializing in high-profile diamond jobs. After having spent many years in prison, he has a very concrete picture of what he wants out of life--including a nice home, a wife, and kids. As soon as he is able to assemble the pieces of this collage, by means of his chosen profession, he intends to retire and become a model citizen. In an effort to accelerate this process, he signs on to take down a huge score for a big-time gangster. Unfortunately, Frank's obsession for his version of the American Dream allows him to overlook his natural wariness and mistrust, when making the deal for his final job. He is thus ensnared and robbed of his freedom, his independence, and, ultimately, his dream.

- I don't know!

I don't believe

in lifetime subscriptions.

- Maybe it don't fit in with my retirement program.

- What are you gonna do retired?

Pick corn with the chickens. Watch daytime

TV the rest of my life. What's the difference?

All right, all right.

Two, three moves.

You want to keep goin',

that's fine.

But if you wanna split,

that's fine too.

Everybody's business-like.

Everybody's an adult.

So let me know...

'cause we'd be terrific.

Yeah, that's fine.

I'll call ya.

- You wanna pick him up?

- We'll see.

Sho lover

Sweet thing

I reached a turning point

In my life

I reached a turning point

Lord, Lord, Lord

In my life

I met a girl

She's one out of 110

And she don't get excited

No, no, no

By no slick-talkin' men

She's a wiz around the house

Neat as a pin

If I got a hole in my socks

got a hole in my shirt

Sweet thing, she'll mend

No more stayin' out

late for me

No more narrow escapes

I reached a turning point

Turning point

In my life

I reached a turning point

Lord, Lord, Lord

In my life

Come on,

let's groove it one time.

No more runnin' around

for me

Finally settlin' down

I reached a turning point

Lord, Lord

In my life

I reached a turning point

Lord, Lord, Lord

In my life

And I don't know

where I would end up

If that sweet thing

hadn't come along

If that sweet thing

hadn't come along

- Hurry. I got my car parked in red.

- What the hell are you doing here?

- Finding you.

- Get away from me, okay?

You are two hours late.

I do not need this.

I do not need to be humiliated.

- Wait. I want to talk to you.

- No.

Hey, you!

I will take you for coffee and explain.

What's the big goddamn deal?

You, take me anywhere?

That's a big laugh.

- Look, maybe there is a reason.

- Hey, I'm talkin' to you.

Hey! Take a walk, flash.

All right? Go on.

Hey, watch out, baby!

I don't know the reason.

I don't want to hear the reason.

There is no reason.

That's all.

What's the big goddamn... Look, you

were lookin' forward to this. All right?

Come on.

- Get in the car, darling.

- No!

Wait a minute!

- Hey!

- My God!

Oh, man!

- What did I do?

- Why did you push him?

Look, in what I do,

there are sometimes pressures.

What the hell

do you think that I do?

Come on, come on!

Come on! Every morning I walk in

for five months, say hi.

What the hell

do you think that I do?

You sell little f***in' cars,

that's what you do.

I wear $150 slacks!

I wear silk shirts!

I wear $800 suits!

I wear a gold watch!

I wear a perfect D flawless,

three-carat ring!

I change cars like other guys

change their f***in' shoes!

I'm a thief.

I've been in prison.

- So what? I don't care.

- "So what"?
