:19:01
- What do ya say?
- Hi.
:19:03
- How ya doin'?
- You're early.
:19:06
Yeah. I made good time.
:19:09
You know, instead of goin'
all the way around the Belt...
:19:12
I went up Rockaway Parkway
and over Eastern Parkway
to Grand Army Plaza.
:19:15
Then right up Flatbush Avenue
to the Manhattan Bridge...
:19:18
and up Third Avenue, pbbt,
through the park at 79th Street.
:19:22
There's a Pinch bottle and Perrier
out there asking for Kelp.
:19:25
If he calls himself Greenberg,
send him on in.
:19:28
Sure. Kelp takes
his Jack Daniel's with soda.
:19:30
Next time around, gimme
a bottle of salt, will ya there, pal?
:19:33
You know at night you can
make better time that way
than if you went...
:19:37
all the way around the Belt,
through the Battery Tunnel,
up the Westside Highway?
:19:41
I never knew that.
:19:43
- The bartender said
to bring salt to the draft.
- Yeah, right here, pal.
:19:46
- Rollo said you had the bottle. Oh.
- Right here.
:19:49
- Hey!
- Hey, you're early. Huh?
:19:51
Hey, Allan Greenberg,
this is John Dortmunder.
:19:54
- Pleasure.
- Stanley Murch, Allan Greenberg.
:19:56
- I'll get your chair, Al.
Sit right down.
- Al.
:19:59
- Thank you.
- Okay.
:20:03
Huh.
:20:05
Dortmunder's open for questions.
:20:13
Yeah, I was thinking...
We get 150 a week
till we do the job, right?
:20:17
Then why do we ever do the job?
:20:19
Because we'll only get
a few weeks out of Amusa and
I'd rather split the 100,000.
:20:23
- Right.
- Equal splits?
:20:26
Yeah. I don't work
any other way.
:20:28
There's gonna be need for a lot
of preparation and surveillance.
:20:32
Most of it night work.
Kelp says there's muggers
in the area so go easy.
:20:36
Once we get the diamond, um...
:20:41
Well, why do we have
to give it to this Amusa?
:20:43
It sounds like it's
worth more than 100,000.
:20:47
Should we deal with the, uh,
insurance company directly?
:20:52
Well, that's always possible
if something happens to Amusa.
:20:55
Well, just so we're
flexible in our thinking.
