Jack Napier says I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't usually drink lunchtimes... It's just, if you're sure we can get away with this thing and that nobody will know I was involved... One of the 2 men who work for the red hood says don't worry, friend... We'll take care of you... We need your help getting through that chemical plant where you worked to the playing card company next door... We really appreciate your expertise. The other man who works for the red hood says so, like to absolutely guarantee nobody connects you with the robbery... The man pulls the red hood's helmet out of a briefcase and says you'll be wearing this. Jack Napier says wearing..?... B-but there are no eye-slits... I won't be able to see. The man says there's these lenses o' red two-way mirror glass set into it... Pretty smart stuff, right? Jack Napier says I, I dunno, that mask... Isn't it the one that red hood guy wears who raided that ice company last month? The man says smarten up... There ain't no "red hood", there's just a buncha guys, anna mask. The other man who works for the red hood says right!... It doesn't matter who's under the hood... We just sort of let the most valued member of the mob where it for, uh, additional anonymity. The other man who works for the red hood says sure!... The most valued member... That's you, man. Jack Napier says ahhh, look, really, I don't know... That chemical plant's so grim and ugly... That's partly why I quit. The other man who works for the red hood says but you said there's minimal security, man. The other man who works for the red hood says listen, do you want to raise your kid in poverty? Jack Napier says no no, of course not... You're right... I mean, it's just this once, then I can switch neighborhoods and start a proper life... The man who works for the red hood says that's the attitude!... So next Friday night, at eleven? Jack Napier says sure sure, why not?... Haha!... Friday it is... And then starting from Saturday morning, I'll be rich... I can't imagine it... My life's going to be completely changed!... Nothing's going to be the same... Not ever again.
