hustle: "you can't cheat an honest man"
nueve reinas: let's go scam some the first lonely old aunt we can find out of some money pretending to be her favorite nephew
re: con artist media
@alyssa I did always find that an odd catchphrase. Certainly most of the Hustle cons would only work on people who were being dishonest (helped that it was usually part of the blow-off), but obviously you can cheat honest people.

@aschmitz there’s at least one time in the first series even where they in fact get tricked into conning an honest man. then one of the second series episodes is them conning another con artist in vengeance for conning danny’s honest ol’ nan.

@alyssa In episode three they "ripped him off in good faith!", but it did lead to Mickey claiming a jinx and them paying him back at least. But fair.
re: con artist media
@alyssa 🙂 To be fair the first one it's unclear if he was honest or simply dishonest but also overrepresenting his ability to sustain the financial hit of losing the money and made a sympathetic case.
