1:37:02
If I could have taken advantage
of them, I would have.
1:37:05
But they didn't have anything
to take, except their faith.
1:37:09
And I didn't even know what that was.
1:37:12
I mean, how could people,
1:37:14
especially people dealt
such crummy, pathetic hands,
1:37:18
have faith in anything or anyone?
1:37:21
I don't know how things got going,
1:37:24
but it's not because I had
some sort of noble intention.
1:37:28
If anything, it's because I met
somebody who saw right through me.
1:37:33
I wanted her to think I was a better
person than we both knew me to be.
1:37:39
She's not here right now.
1:37:42
Her name is Gloria.
1:37:44
She had to work.
As many do, I've discovered.
1:37:59
Window.
Mr Bacon, will you please see to it
1:38:02
that all of the windows
are tightly closed?
1:38:07
Yeah, Tom!
1:38:09
- Proceed, young man.
- Well, that's pretty much it.
1:38:13
I mean, the letters kept pouring in
and I began to believe.
1:38:19
To believe
that I could really help people
1:38:22
and that that was more rewarding
than any con that I could pull.
1:38:26
And then I found,
this is the really bizarre thing,
1:38:29
the less I tried to take advantage
of people, the more I got back.
1:38:34
Your Honour,
I lost my programme notes.
1:38:37
Is this where we all clap
for Tinker Bell?
1:38:40
You're blessed
with a con artist's gift
1:38:43
of talking his way out of trouble.
1:38:46
That didn't sound like a compliment.
1:38:48
So how do I know
if your words are sincere
1:38:52
or if they're some cynical attempt
to talk your way out of trouble?
