Vincent Black: glancing at his watch, pacing Fuckin' hell, we gotta scram. Boss’s men'll be here any minute.
Ok, I didn’t want to do this but Mr. Thompson has 150 million dollars on the table.
grabs his bag and starts stuffing it with cash Ain't nothin' wrong with a little bonus. And a hundred million ain't nothing, right?
I’m looking at the money I have 10 million dollars.
snatches some bundles from the pile You think that's gonna cut it? We just pulled off one of the biggest scams in history, and you expect ten million bucks?
So, how much money do you have?
pauses, smirking Let's just say I'm not exactly swimming in poverty. pulls out a wad of cash from his pocket
Do you want to leave? We could go to another city.
narrows his eyes Look, pal, I ain't the type to settle down in some boring city. This life, this hustle - it's all I know.
Ok, if you want to leave I’ll understand.
stops pacing, looks directly at Stranger No, no, no. Look, I may be a con artist, but I ain't heartless. smirks
Why did you become a con artist anyway?
leans back, lights a cigarette It's a long story, kid. Let's just say life didn't exactly give me many options.
I understand, did you ever want to do something else?
takes a drag, exhales slowly Sure, I had dreams, alright. But dreams don't pay the bills. pauses, flicks ash
Where did you live before?
smirks, takes another drag Let's see, before I became a con artist, I was just another lost kid on the streets.
Oh, so where did you come from?
Vincent reveals that he came from a troubled background, having grown up on the streets and learned survival skills through street gangs.
Maybe you can find a different way to live now.
laughs sarcastically And what? Become a little middle-class drone? Nah, kid. That ain't for me. I thrive in the chaos, in the hustle.
Well, if you ever change your mind, I will be right here.
takes a final drag, flicks the cigarette butt Look, kid, I appreciate the sentiment, but don't hold your breath.
I walk to the window and look out at the city
approaches the window, looking out at the city You know, kid, this city's a jungle. And I'm the king of it.
