Jack is the leader of the pack. Coordinating the plans, and taking part in the heist.
The name Jack is a placeholder, and I am open to re-gendering the person.
We don’t have time to discuss this. We’re 20 minutes behind. What’s the verdict? Continue, or abandon it?
I know where it is, RALPH. This definitely has some Carmen Sandiego vibes to it. [hesitant] I’m… I’m intrigued. Let me touch base with the team. What’s the payout?
Astute listening skills, you have. I can always count on you to summarize everything’s that’s just been said. The payout will send all of us into permanent retirement.
Spunky Ellie is a member of the burglarizing gang. Technically-minded, on the nerdy side.
I double-checked. That was the last piece. It looks just like it did before we got here.
I’m investing in some tobacco land down in Cuba. We’ll be smoking some fine Cubans before you know it.
What are the odds they’ll find out it’s a fake?
Dennis is one of the burglars. Thinks of himself a little bit smarter than the rest, but only pushes back a little bit.
Hold up. We’re talking of taking the whole Wright Brothers’ Kitty Hawk Flyer. Am I hearing you correctly?
So this is how the other half lives!
(whispering) There are some screws in here I have never seen before. We’re having to make due with the tools we have. Shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Ralph is the contact to Jack, who gives him the leads. Not the boss, but certainly an instigator. All contact is on the phone.
The name Ralph is a placeholder, and can be re-gendered, accordingly.
In 1903, a couple brothers took a contraption to North Carolina from Ohio. Since the proof of concept, fragments of this contraption have been taken to the moon and back, and at auction, they were valued at 5.2 million. Fragments, JACK- Just the fragments.
Yeah. JACK. It’s RALPH. That plane you got in Monaco… it’s… the wrong one.
You have to understand the significance, before I let you decide if you want to take it or not.
A burglar on the team. Only when she's not teaching, Jean is too cool for school.
[shrugging] It’s better than not getting paid.
I’m not taking any chances. I’ll lay low for a couple years. Keep teaching. I actually like my life.
I think it’s hot.
