that Louis Agassiz

the great 19th-century

naturalist--

I should probably

get back to work.

Do you want me to leave?

Okay.

So, um

what is it

that you do?

Oh, things.

How's that?

It's what I do.

So it's that.

Sounds okay.

Is it?

Why wouldn't it be?

I don't know.

I'm Ann.

William.

What can I do

for you, Victor?

There's a couple of things

my boss would, uh, like

you to do.

I'll be your contact.

It's really very

simple, you just

go to this address

deliver this

pick up a couple

of envelopes from

the women there

and uh, I'll get

the envelopes

from you.

Yeah, well, uh

here's the thing,

you, uh, you get

a lump sum

every week,

that look okay?

It'd be okay if l

needed the money.

Then give it back.

There's a lot in here,

isn't there?

I think so.

All right.

Maybe I can find

a use for it.

So, Ann

what's the deal there?

She's a beautiful woman.

Yeah, so

what's the deal?

Pretty much

as you see it.

Care to elaborate?

You seem like

a nice boy.

This is not

a really nice group.

And, uh, you're

included in this group?

Yeah, me, too.

And Ann.

So, uh

anyway, uh

Ann

uh, she's, uh

uh

she's my boss's--

She owes him.

I suppose we all do.

Anyway, she's, uh

she's there for him

when he need, when

he needs her

not so much

for himself

anymore

but, you know, for others,

like yourself, as a favor.

M m-hm.

So, uh, anyway, uh

she was asking

about you

uh, asking me, uh

she knows she's not

supposed to ask about you

that's none

of my business

why she did.

But you need to know

that this is very

dangerous for her.

And for you.

You're talking like

you're in a movie, Victor.

Like a gangster movie.

I'm not a violent

person. Are you?

I'm not a gangster.

You're not?

I don't think so.

No, I don't

think so either.

There anything I can

do for you, Victor?

No.

No, thanks.

Uh, yes, you can

keep your distance from Ann.

I'd rather not.

Please, William. For Ann.

When you need me

to do something

uh, you'll ask.

I assume that's

how this works.

And then, I'll either

say yes or no.

Uh, and the piece

you took?

The silver?

He, uh, he forgives

this because

you didn't know who

he is, but now you

do, right?

I guess.

William?

Yeah.

Hi.

Hi.

Excuse me.

Can I get you

something to drink?

No, thanks.

You wanna sit down?

Juliette's got one

of these, too.

Okay.

I'll go see if l

can get her up.

Juliette?

Juliette's a little

out of it

right now.

Mm-hm.

Do you have

something for me?

Yeah.

Oh.

Thanks.

It's heavy.

Oh.

Good morning.

You want some?

No.

Does she have

that envelope?

I don't know.

Why don't you ask her?

Juliette!

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

What's your name?
