Stella Bridger
[Stella gets an early-morning phone call from her father.]

Hello?

John Bridger

Hello, sweetie.

Stella

Daddy...[checks the clock] it's early.

John

I just wanted to let you know that I'm sending you something.

Stella

Mmm. Does it smell nice?

John

No...But it's sparkly.

Stella
[suddenly wide awake]

Does it have a receipt?

John
[chuckles]

I'm sending it to you from the store.

Stella

Hmm. Why don't you just come by? We'll have some breakfast.

John

It'd be a long trip. [pause] I'm in Venice.

Stella
[sits up in bed]

With your parole officer's approval, of course?

John

I like the guy, Stella, you know that. But we never really connected. So I think I've paid my PO his last visit.

Stella

What are you into, Dad? Don't break my heart. You told me you were through.

John

After this, I am through. I swear to you.

Left Ear

So come on, gentlemen, shopping list. Who's doing what? Spare no dirty details.

John

Come on, guys. Take a lesson from an old man. Don't spend it. Invest.

Left Ear

In what?

John

In gold.

Left Ear

What are you getting, Rob?

Handsome Rob

Ah, I don't know. There's a lot of things you can get with a lot of money. You know, I'm just thinking about naked girls in leather seats.

Left Ear

Obviously. See?

Handsome Rob

Suppose I'll get the Aston-Martin Vanquish. There's not a lot a girl won't do in the passenger seat of one of those things.

I'm gonna get a NAD T-770 digital decoder with a seventy-watt amp and and Burr Brown DAC's.

Left Ear
[at a loss]

Yeah...

It's a big stereo. Speakers so loud, they blow women's clothes off.

Handsome Rob

Now you're talking!

Left Ear

Thirty-five million dollars, you can't get more creative than that, man? I'm going to Andalusia. The south of Spain. Right over there. [points] Get me a big house, get me a library full of first editions, get a room for my shoes... What about you, Steve?

I don't know. I haven't decided yet.

Left Ear

You haven't decided yet? Come on, man. Is it the mountain air? Just —

I liked what you said. I'll take one of each of yours.

Left Ear
[Laughs]

Well here's to two of everything for Steve!

John Bridger

Charlie, there are two kinds of thieves in this world: the ones who steal to enrich their lives, and the ones who steal to define their lives. Don't be the latter. Makes you miss out on what's really important in this life.

What are you talking about, John? You've been a good father.

John

Sending presents doesn't make you a good father. I spent half my kid's life in prison. Don't get to be my age with nothing but this, Charlie. Find somebody you want to spend the rest of your life with and hold onto her forever. Okay?

[Steve has pulled a gun, and his armed henchmen have surrounded the gang's van.]

What the hell are you doing, Steve?

Made a few plans of my own.

John Bridger

There's nowhere you can go where we won't find you, Steve. You know that.

I think that's probably right, John. [shoots him]
