  Fingers Garrison : Crime an' me are strangers these days. You misunderstand me, Jimmy. It ain't pickin' pockets. It's the technique that fascinates me. An' in order to see I ain't lost it, I gotta try it out once in a while on a friend, like you.

  Jimmy Donlin : To make sure you're the artist you used to be, huh?
