The Thief : I, I have found this. It's a plan of the church at Tolino. I discovered it in a very old manuscript.
Mario Forni : How do I know you didn't make this yourself?
The Thief : Do I look like a thief?
Mario Forni : Yes. You stole this, didn't you?
The Thief : Out of need, Signor, out of need.
Mario Forni : I'm sorry I don't do business with thieves.
The Thief : I''m a poor scholar. With eleven children. All with the whopping cough.
Mario Forni : I see you've been doing your bit toward the population explosion. However, I might be induced to give a small donation. But you must understand, if I give you money that makes me an accessory. And I am a businessman, my dear scholar. And, of course, it's those eleven poor children - they do worry me.
Mario Forni : How much do you want for that?
The Thief : A million Lire. I want a million Lire.
