What Dustfingers wants from Mo is to be read back into the book, where his wife (played by Bettany's wife Jennifer Connelly in a Hitchcock-sized cameo) is waiting for him. What Capricorn wants from Mo is wide-ranging, yet unclear, just like the rest of the movie. Capricorn has done well for himself in the nonfiction world, acquiring an Italian castle and an army of minions.

Rather than admiring the canals on a boat tour or sampling the wares at a coffee shop, however, the men opt for something more active - they mount a 17-ft.-long (5 m) bicycle decked out with a bar and karaoke machine. It takes just 10 minutes (and a couple of beers) before they remove their shirts, attracting the attention of female tourists. "How do we get on?" asks one young American woman...
