wanted to get in out of the rain.
I just hope it lets up soon.
- I really just wanna go home.
- Aren't the subways running?
But I happen to be broke
at the moment, see.
Christ. I'll give you the money. Poor guy.
Really? I can't tell you how much
that would mean to me.
[KNOCKING]
- Oh, Christ. Not another one.
- What? Another what?
Guy lives in the same building as me.
He's been here three times tonight...
...to tell me about three burglaries
in this neighborhood, all tonight.
- Shit.
- What?
What?
I'm just trying to remember if I turned
my burglar alarm on at home tonight.
Sometimes I forget.
Oh, well, anyway.
[REGISTER DINGING]
That's all right. It's all right.
That's all right. Forget it.
Doesn't matter.
I'd like to open the register.
What if I got a rush now?
Yeah, I see your point.
What about a key?
Do you have a key?
- Yeah, but I keep it up in my apartment.
- Damn. That's too bad.
Listen, I can't go anywhere,
but how'd you like to do me a favor?
- For subway fare?
- Lf you don't mind.
- You got it.
- I'm at 158 Spring Street, top floor.
Wait a minute.
What am I doing?
Right.
You don't know me,
I don't know you.
I might rip you off, right?
Is that what you're thinking?
I'm not gonna rip you off. I'm not.
With what I've been through tonight...
...the last thing I wanna do
is steal from somebody.
I really just wanna get home.
Look, here.
Here are my keys.
This is my deposit, okay?
If I don't come back, these are yours.
Everything I own is yours.
I just wanna get home. Keep them.
Okay, all right. Good. Here.
The keys for the register
are over the light switch, on a hook.
The alarm is underneath
the light switch.
Make sure you see a beeping red light.
- Beeping red light. 158 Spring.
- Top floor.
I'll be right back.

PAUL:
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
Oh, Jesus! God.
MAN 1: What's come from Phil?
MAN 2: I don't wanna read it.
I'm jealous.
He even sounded tan on the phone.
NEIGHBOR 1: I wonder if this is
our local friendly burglar.
NEIGHBOR 2: Did you get what
you wanted or did we spoil your fun?
- Who are you? You don't live here.
- I'm a friend of Tom's.
Tom who?
There are three Toms living here.
Look, guys, I'm not a burglar.
So get your hands off me.
- He asked you which Tom.
- I don't know Tom's last name.
He's on the top floor.
How many Toms are there?
How'd you get in here?
He gave me the keys. Look. See this?
He gave me the keys and I let myself in.
Sorry, but there have been
about eight break-ins here just last week.
Okay, I'm sorry, all right.
I didn't know that.
MAN: Hey, we gonna hit RadioShack
tonight, man?
PEPE: Wait till next week.
New models come in.
Hey! Where'd you get that?
[BUZZING]
PAUL:
Kiki! God, what happened?
Just throw down the keys.
Throw it. Be careful.
That's right. Give it a good throw.
There you go.
Hold on, Kiki.
Bastards!
What have they done?
What are these guys, sailors?
Look at this.
It's so elaborate.
Must've taken them hours.
- How'd they get in?
- How did who get in?
- The burglars.
- The burglars? What burglars?
The ones who took your sculpture
and your TV set.
God.
- Neil and Pepe?
- Who?
It was Neil and Pepe.
They're friends of mine.
I just sold them my television
for 300 bucks.
How did you get ahold of my sculpture?
[DOOR SQUEAKS]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
- This the guy?
KIKl: Yeah.
I'm Horst.
I'm Paul. Hi.
That was rude of you before, Paul.
You really ought to be
ashamed of yourself.
I am.
I don't know what could have
come over me.
Lack of discipline.
Possibly.
Well, it's not too late to finish
what you started.
PAUL:
Marcy, it's Paul.
[KNOCKING]
Hi.
Listen, I owe you an apology.
There's just no excuse for leaving
the way I did. And I'm sorry.
You know, I just figured...
...it's not working out between us...
...and, hell, I'll never see you again.
You know, there's just no excuse.
I think I just got a little
