What Is Be Reasonable About?

The premise of Be Reasonable without spoilers.

Billy, a smooth‑talking flirt, meets a woman on the beach and instantly showers her with an expensive pearl necklace.

Unwilling to lose the pearls, Billy breaks into her home to steal them—and a few other valuables—while she’s away.
