Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

As they are walking through a museum:

 

Joe stops at a painting: "Oh, this is a beauty. Look at those colours."

Booker: "You do know, that painting is a forgery?"

Joe: "Yeah, yeah, but it's still a good painting. Look, Nicolò. The forger added a swan, that wasn't in the original painting."

Nile: "How do you know it's a forgery?"

Booker: "Because once I had a damn good side business between missions selling art forgeries until someone came along and ruined it."

Joe: "Still not my fault. Blame it on your art broker, who sold me the painting and was idiotic enough to leave your phone number on the delivery note."

Booker: "And then you had to mention it to Andy, who single-handed destroyed my warehouse and made me donate every single dollar I had made to charity."

Nicky: "It's still better than jail."
