The other thing you
need to know about Eaton
is he's a man of habit.
Some of his habits are disgusting.
Others are rather more necessary.
For example, if he feels
like he's getting squeezed,
a security breach, a
call from the taxman,
Eaton scurries his prized possessions
back home to mother hen, or in his case,
to mother-in-law hen for safety,
which for Eaton is a private residence
in Kensington Palace Road.

this country up the ass
since the days of Shakespeare.
And I bet that after that
business with the coin
and the little Laotian
statue, one more push,
and Eaton will move that diamond there.
And that's where it will be.
There's guards everywhere.
The whole street's got
security up the ass
dogs, motion alarms, ground sensors.
Great Train Robbery's a piece
of piss compared to this.
The only question is
♪
Can you do it?
♪
Do one thing for me.
I'm listening.
Don't think small.
[SOFTLY] Don't think small.
♪
- Right.
- The only way this plan works
is if everyone does their job correctly.
Whether you're the chef, the pool boy,
the kitchen assistant, the safecracker,
the foot soldier, or
an officer of the law
who's been given specific instructions,
everyone needs to do
their job correctly.
