'Don't take this the wrong way, my friend, but I can't help but notice that you're not exactly outfitted with the type of equipment that befits your reputation as a skilled burglar. I mean no offence, of course. In fact, I'd be willing to help fashion you a few articles that will do a better job of it!

'It won't be easy, but then again, when has anything worthwhile ever been easy? Am I right? Of course I'm right! Just let me know when you're ready to begin, and I'll tell you what you're going to need if I'm going to make you some equipment worthy of a first-class burglar!'
