Can we have the beginning of the conversation 'fore we get to the part where everybody makes dumb decisions they'll regret later?

What the fuck else would we talk about, the weather?

I got a guy. You're used to hearin' that, right? All your Yakuza dealings.

I'll watch for the Hail Marys.

Except they ain't no 'e' in 'assumptions'. A magic kinda guy. Better'n mine. ... Heh. Almost a painful kinda irony to it, if--...

[the scraping's a dull background noise, which pauses for an inhale]

[he replies with a little more thought this time, fingers tapping against the shinyshiny chrome of a sink]

An illusionist. So, a break-in and switch? Or he pulls rabbits outta a goddamned hat as a distraction?

More than that, really. He conjures, hides shit, no fucking hat needed and no fucking refunds.

[ And he sounds so fucking proud of himself. ]

Far as I know, I'm the only one that knows about it. Guess I'm just that magnetic, yeah?

[ Rambling words, quick and spat and full of nevernervous energy. ]

I'll go in with a fake and leave with my baby. But you know more 'bout the mouse than I do; what kinda cheese he take?

[there's a metallic sound of something getting thrown into a basin]

What's the magician's name?
