• Joe : I don't like games either. Normally this would be a very nice situation. Two people, in a quiet cosey car, just the right atmosphere for romance. You're beautiful, but tonight I must decline. No time. Please, the jewels.

  [holds out his hand] 

  Michelle Nolton : [hoarsely]  I didn't take them.

  Joe : You know...

  [takes off his glasses, cleans them] 

  Joe : your answer amuses me. Now, Floyd may be very stupid about a lot of things, but he has... very good taste in women.

  [his hand on her shoulder, then stroking her hair] 

  Joe : You are beautiful. Really beautiful. You shouldn't be involved in a business like this. Now give me the jewels.

  Michelle Nolton : I don't have them.

  Joe : Floyd must have told you I don't play games. I spent too much time staring at prison walls. Those jewels are... a ticket for a new life for me. Don't force me to get rough.
