Pendlebury:
Well, you might as well know. I was lying. I am a thief. It was madness to attempt it. We weren't cut out for crime, either of us.

Policeman:
We?

Pendlebury:
My partner and I.

Sidewalk Vendor:
Your partner? Here, if you're working with the fence who's got them other pictures...

Policeman:
Shh! Carry on.

Pendlebury:
Oh I make no excuses. All my life it's been my ambition to surround myself with rare and beautiful things. Suddenly faced with this golden opportunity...

Sidewalk Vendor:
Here, you call that picture of mine rare and beautiful?

Pendlebury:
Since you will keep on interrupting me, you ought to know it's a charming example of an early Rochet, while he was still under the influence of Corot.

Sidewalk Vendor:
Oh yeah? How much is it worth?

Pendlebury:
Ten pound, to those who can afford it.

Sidewalk Vendor:
Oh blimey. I've had it marked up for five bob.
