Lilly Dillon:
I was hoping we could play it straight with one another.

Roy Dillon:
I guess not.

Lilly Dillon:
I guess you won't be getting a straight job, either.

Roy Dillon:
Not this week.

Lilly Dillon:
Not ever.

Roy Dillon:
It's up to me. I'm strictly short con. It's nothing but small time stuff. I can walk away from it anytime I want.

Lilly Dillon:
Where have I heard that before?

Roy Dillon:
Yeah, but I'm in control.

Lilly Dillon:
Sure. You're only 25 years old, already you can lay down four grand without even turning a hair. Grift's like anything else, Roy. You don't stand still. You either go up or down. Usually down, sooner or later.

Roy Dillon:
Well, I'll let it be a surprise, then.
