Charlie Croker: Steve, how we looking?
Steve: [in one of the rooms in their joint] Papa took the boat to work at 8:15, so the garage is empty. Mama left with daughter at 8:30 for pre-school as usual. So for the next 45 minutes, we own this place, gentlemen.

Charlie Croker: Hope I'll get to fire it up.
