    Redfoot the Fence: Well. That's too bad. I got a ton of work and I don't have any good people. Not like you guys.

    McManus: What's the job?

    Redfoot the Fence: There's this jeweler out of Texas named Saul. He rents a suite, some downtown hotel. Does free appraisals for people, sometimes he buys, sometimes he doesn't. Anyway, the word is he carries around a lotta cash. So I figure, I keep the merchandise, you keep the green. Simple.

    Hockney: What about security?

    Redfoot the Fence: Couple of bodyguards. Nothing you couldn't handle.

    Keaton: Yeah... I shivved him. Better you hear it from me now than from somebody else later.

    Redfoot the Fence: I appreciate that. But just out of curiosity, was it business or personal?

    Keaton: A bit of both.

    Redfoot the Fence: Well, like I said, you give me a call if you're interested.

    [Redfoot and his crew begin to leave. McManus walks over to Keaton]

    [McManus laughs]

    McManus: One job? That's a good one, Keaton!

  • Keaton: There's no fucking coke.
