Professor Samuels
- Professor Samuels: I've been in this business a long time. More than 46 years. I've planned some of the biggest capers you ever read about. It drove the G-men crazy. You've heard of Capone, Dillinger, Machine Gun Kelly, Pretty Boy Floyd? Oh, I could name a dozen others. All my clients. You name them, I planned them. More than $22 million and that's when the dollar was a dollar. They even made movies about them.
- Cesare Celli: And the most important thing, he never got caught. The Professor and I sat together many times dreaming of jobs. Some we already did. Some we wasn't gonna do. Now, when I need, when Don Cesare, needs to get back respect, I call him in Philadelphia and he is here. This time, we do the plan for the biggest bundle of dem all.
- Professor Samuels: [Holding up a small metal cube] Now this, gentlemen, represents riches. Roughly $95 an ounce. I hold here in my hand $380 worth. Now, please examine it.
- Professor Samuels: [he hands the cube to them and continues, as they pass it around] The chemical symbol is PT - for platinum. Now, this precious metal comes in ingots this size: 4 inches by 1/3 of an inch by 7 and a half inches. It weighs 100 ounces troy.
- Professor Samuels: [holding up the ingot] Now, this ingot is made of lead. I'm merely using it as an illustration of size. If it were *really* platinum, it would be worth... $9500.
- Harry Price: What are you doing here?
- Juliana: Dancing - with the Professor. You know, he's really got the beat - for his age, I mean.
- Professor Samuels: A great little teacher. Teaching me the Watusi. I never thought I'd get past the Mashed Potato.
