- Quotes
Ray Stussy: Hey! Dickhead!
Maurice LeFay: Huh?
Ray Stussy: I gotta place, turns out a place that needs some robbing. A little robbing, not wholesale burglary, just a specific... Just looking for a certain item. And if you do it... well let's just say... your little problem goes up in smoke.
Maurice LeFay: What are we talking about?
Ray Stussy: A stamp.
Maurice LeFay: A stamp?... Like a... postage stamp?
Ray Stussy: Yeah.
Maurice LeFay: Cool... Cool... So I mean, I know I'm the moron but...
Ray Stussy: It's not that kind of stamp numb nuts... It's a vintage stamp, it's got you know... sentimental value for me... It's my stamp.
Maurice LeFay: Your stamp.
Ray Stussy: But it's, you know, at someone else's house temporarily.
Maurice LeFay: Cool, cool... So why not just ask for it back?
Ray Stussy: Well it's, you know, complicated... Just get the damn stamp.

The real staying power of a show is when one doesn't find oneself going to the computer to check on other 'news' or E-mails because the plot was boring.
Far too much unnecessary footage wasted on character development but in fairness once the 'out of town' Brit showed up as well as the comeuppance for the clueless perp it found its' legs.
I hope this doesn't meander into a swamp the way 'Taboo' did - great acting and a continuous 'deus ex machina' plot twists lacking any coherence.
