What sort of criminals would you be?
Alex: We would be burglars. You know, a massive bank or casino raid. Think of films like Ocean's Eleven. Shit, we could name ourselves after characters from the film itself!
Jamie: Yeah, but who wants to be called Brad Pitt?
Alex: That's true. Or George Clooney...
Jamie: What would your function be in the raid, you reckon?
Alex: I don't know. I think 'crowd control' or something. I do think we should be one of those gangs that don't make any victims. No killing. A principled gang. I would be clear and terrifying though: "I don't want any 'eroes!"
Jamie: Shit, you are becoming a George Clooney!
Alex: What would you be then? The safecracker?
Jamie: Nah, I think I'd be the explosives-expert. I like a big bang!
Alex & Jamie: Helders would be the getaway driver!
Alex: What about O'Malley?
Jamie: The strong foolish one!
