Morality is expensive. Neal has known this for years. (Mozzie has known it forever.) Sometimes, when you're down on your luck, it's a luxury that can't be afforded. Being light-fingered isn't as much a crime as it is a survival tactic. Soon he moves on to bigger and better things: scams, cons, straight-out thievery. Charm and wit aren't crimes either, and he's got those in spades.

Morality is a blurry line, Neal comes to realize. He does always try to do the right thing, but he knows now: right and moral aren't always the same, but right is always in-budget.
