“I've got kids that
enjoy stealing. I've got kids that don't think about stealing one way or the other, and I've got kids that just
tolerate stealing because they know they've got nothing else to do. But nobody--and I mean
nobody--has ever been hungry for it like this boy. If he had a bloody gash across his throat and a physiker was trying to sew it up, Lamora would steal the needle and thread and die laughing. He...steals
too much.”
