The Roll Over

Sneaky Pete 1×8

& Brendon: You could be conning me right now.

& Audrey: That’s what marriage is, mostly... putting up with each other’s shit.

& Audrey: Hold on. Hold on. W... What do you mean, Lance won?
    Pete: It’s called a Jesus con. We never talked about this?.. A guy lights your house on fire, and then he shows up in the nick of time to put it out, making himself your savior. A con man's not always after money.

& Pete: Grandma, let’s just think about this for a second. A bird in the hand is worth...

& Porter: Uraninite... As in uranium.
    Lance: Uranium. In Connecticut?

& Pete: Your share is $2 million.

& Pete: What did you always tell me? Work the problem.

& Pete: Look, you want to succeed in the life? Figure it out. Work the problem.

& Porter: Bullshit!
    Pete: Is the internet ever wrong?

& Porter: If kitty litter’s radioactive enough to set off a Geiger counter, what makes you think it won’t grow me a third nut or some shit like that?

Σ «why to watch this timely series. We observe some of the great tricks perpetrated by conmen and women, which include: create distractions; „work the problem“ (every snag is a problem to be solved not a reason for dismay); keep promising and promising; focus on the vulnerabilities of those you mean to con; find partners in crime, fellow cons or desperate others to enlist to help work problems along the way; and reach into and execute from your playbook of legendary cons (like the „Spanish Prisoner“ and the „Jesus con“). There are more con artist maneuvers we learn as the show unfolds. Think how handy this knowledge can be in our era of „alternate facts“ and empty promises that it all „... will be great.“ We need the Sneaky Pete lessons to arm us in the days, months and years ahead.»
