Something wrong with the clip?

Adam Canfield:
All right, get set for the story of my life.
Reggie Lampert:
Fiction or non-fiction?
Adam Canfield:
Eh, why don't you shut up?
Reggie Lampert:
Well!
Adam Canfield:
Are you going to listen?
Reggie Lampert:
Go on...
Adam Canfield:
Now, when I was a young man, my father expected me to go into his business. Umbrella frames. That's what he made. A sensible business, I suppose, but I didn't have the sense in those days to be sensible.
Reggie Lampert:
[looking skeptical]
I suppose all this is leading somewhere...
Adam Canfield:
Well, it led me away from umbrella frames, for one thing. But that left me without any honest means of support.
Reggie Lampert:
What do you mean?
Adam Canfield:
Well, in this highly competitive world, when a man has no profession, there isn't much choice, so I began looking for people who had more money than they needed... including some they'd barely miss.
Reggie Lampert:
You mean you're a thief?
Adam Canfield:
Well, that's not exactly the term I'd have chosen, but it sort of captures the spirit of the thing.
Reggie Lampert:
I don't believe it!

- All right, get set
for the story of my life.
- Fiction or nonfiction?
00:00:06.604 --> 00:00:09.937
- Eh... Why don't you shut up?
- Well!
00:00:10.997 --> 00:00:12.737
- Are you going to listen?
- Go on.
00:00:12.081 --> 00:00:14.744
All right.
00:00:14.812 --> 00:00:19.215
Now, when I was a young man my father
expected me to go into his business.
00:00:19.283 --> 00:00:22.218
Umbrella frames.
That's what he made.
00:00:22.286 --> 00:00:26.382
A sensible business, I suppose,
but I didn't have the sense
in those days to be sensible.
00:00:26.457 --> 00:00:28.982
I suppose all this
is leading somewhere.
00:00:29.001 --> 00:00:32.222
Well, it led me away from
umbrella frames, for one thing.
00:00:32.296 --> 00:00:35.231
But that left me without
any honest means of support.
00:00:35.299 --> 00:00:37.233
What do you mean?
00:00:37.301 --> 00:00:39.235
Well, in this highly
competitive world,
00:00:39.303 --> 00:00:42.602
when a man has no profession
there isn't much choice,
00:00:42.673 --> 00:00:46.234
so I began looking for people
who had more money than they needed,
00:00:46.031 --> 00:00:48.437
including some they'd barely miss.
00:00:48.512 --> 00:00:50.571
You mean, you're a thief?
00:00:50.648 --> 00:00:54.003
Well, that's not exactly
the term I'd have chosen,
00:00:54.151 --> 00:00:57.882
but it sort of captures
the spirit of the thing.
00:00:57.955 --> 00:01:01.186
I don't believe it.
00:01:01.258 --> 00:01:03.783
I can't really blame you now.
00:01:03.861 --> 00:01:06.001
But I do believe it.
That's what I don't believe.
00:01:06.864 --> 00:01:10.129
So it's good-bye, Alexander Dyle,
welcome home, Peter Joshua.
00:01:11.235 --> 00:01:13.001
Sorry.
The name's Adam Canfield.
00:01:13.504 --> 00:01:17.004
- Adam Canfield?
- Mm-hmm.
00:01:17.001 --> 00:01:20.061
Wonderful. You've had three names
in the past two days.
00:01:20.678 --> 00:01:23.001
I don't even know
who I'm talking to anymore.
00:01:23.999 --> 00:01:27.212
- Well, the man's the same,
even if the name isn't.
- No, he isn't.
00:01:27.001 --> 00:01:30.001
- Adam Canfield is a crook,
and I want to know why.
- Well, it's simple.
00:01:30.621 --> 00:01:33.007
I like what I do.
I enjoy my work.
00:01:33.123 --> 00:01:36.007
There aren't many men who love
their work as much as I do.
00:01:36.126 --> 00:01:38.321
You look around sometime.
00:01:38.395 --> 00:01:40.999
Is there a Mrs. Canfield?
00:01:42.004 --> 00:01:44.001
- Yes, but we're divorced.
- "But we're divorced."
00:01:44.735 --> 00:01:48.001
- That's right.
Now go and eat your dinner.
- Oh, I could eat a horse.
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.173
I think that's what you ordered.
00:01:50.241 --> 00:01:53.001
Don't you dare be civil with me,
after leading me on like this.
00:01:53.744 --> 00:01:57.001
- How did I lead you on?
- Oh, all that marvelous rejection.
00:01:57.248 --> 00:01:59.182
You knew I couldn't resist it.
00:01:59.025 --> 00:02:02.413
- Now it turns out all you're
interested in is the money.
- That's right.
00:02:02.486 --> 00:02:05.001
- Ohh!
- Well, what would you like me to say?
00:02:05.489 --> 00:02:08.001
That a pretty girl with
an outrageous manner means more
to an old pro like me...
00:02:08.999 --> 00:02:10.858
than a quarter
of a million dollars?
00:02:10.928 --> 00:02:14.001
- I don't suppose so.
- It's a toss-up, I can tell you that.
00:02:14.001 --> 00:02:18.016
Mmm... What?
00:02:18.001 --> 00:02:22.999
Hasn't it occurred to you
that I'm having a tough time
keeping my hands off you?
00:02:26.001 --> 00:02:30.999
- Oh, you should see your face.
- What's the matter with it?
00:02:30.381 --> 00:02:32.002
It's lovely.
00:02:32.001 --> 00:02:34.011
Ohh.
00:02:35.185 --> 00:02:37.779
Now what's the trouble?
