Atwood : [delivering money] That includes Condor, of course. Joubert : Yes. I owe you Condor. Atwood : Otherwise-- Joubert : Otherwise does not exist. Atwood : Will Condor take long? Joubert : Do you want an estimate? Atwood : There is a time factor. Joubert : Always with you people. Condor is an amateur. He's lost, unpredictable...perhaps even sentimental. He could fool a professional. Not deliberately, but precisely because he is lost. Doesn't know what to do, unlike Wicks who has always been entirely predictable. The man Condor killed in the alley? Atwood : Some friend of his. Joubert : Close friend? Atwood : I suppose. Why? Joubert : It interests me. What was his name? Atwood : I don't know. He was nobody. Joubert : Right. Atwood : What about Wicks? Joubert : You want the firm to question him? They will, you know. Atwood : We don't want that. Joubert : Cost you nothing. I was careless with Condor. Wicks will be done for nothing.
