  Charlie Croker : What's your guesstimate?

  Handsome Rob : The last twenty times I done this journey, you've got an average of thirty two minutes and a top time of fifty, but if we had green lights all the way, we could do it in fourteen minutes.

• Charlie Croker : [while in her locksmith shop]  I found him Stella. He's in Los Angeles. The gold bricks he stole from us had a Balinese dancer stamped on them. This guy worked for a contact of mine, Skinny Pete, that a gold dealer in L.A.'s been buying those bricks.

  Stella Bridger : Yeah? How do you know it's him.

  Charlie Croker : Skinny Pete sent me this.
