Fingers

You: I want to become a Shadow.

Fingers: Then you should find yourself a nice spot of sunlight.

You: Can you help me with that?

Fingers: I wouldn't know how.

You: I'm looking for folks to put in a good word for me.

Fingers: Now, why would I do that?

You: Because Diego says you're one of the key players.

Fingers: Ah, why didn't you lead with that. Yeah, I guess I could give you some backing.

Fingers: Thing is, I have to be sure you're good for something. Say - do you know your way around a lock?

You: I have the ring.

You: What can you teach me?

Fingers: Depends. What do you wanna know?

Fingers: Ahh ... the mother of skullduggery.

Fingers: Frankly, the biggest rookie mistake is when people use their lockpicks like randy sailors trying to crack open a harbor brothel. All force, no flair.

Fingers: What I'm saying is, be careful with your lockpicks, and you'll break a LOT less of them.

You: How do I become a master at lockpicking?

Fingers: Right. So, remember what I told you about being gentle with your picks, and all? They make a special sound when they're about to break.

Fingers: Learn to attune your ear to it, and you'll never waste one again.

Fingers: Good luck!

You: Teach me how to pick pockets.

Fingers: What a noble wish. Very well.

Fingers: Pickpocketing is all about distraction. Just bump into your mark or tap their shoulder, and they'll never notice your other hand slipping right into their pocket.

Fingers: Of course, you've got to make sure there are no witnesses.

Fingers: Just give it a try. There's no better teacher than field practice.

You: I want to be an even better pickpocket.

Fingers: Hmm. All right then, I guess you're ready.

Fingers: You probably already figured out that there's easy victims and guys that you better stay away from.

Fingers: Always make sure you're mark is isolated. Fewer witnesses means better odds.
