Which of the following is the best translation for the tief-man's dialogue?

"Okay! We understand that you claim you don't have a lot of money. But we don't even have an anini. If you open this window and give us a hundred pounds, we'll leave. Otherwise, we'll go inside and show you our weapons.""You are lying about how much money you have. We know that you have an anini. Open up your window and give us one hundred anini. If you don't, we're going to leave without showing you our weapons.""We believe you do not have a lot of money. I don't think you even have an anini. Still, I want you to open this window and pretend to give me a hundred pounds. Then we'll go."<span>"If you don't have money, then maybe we got the wrong house. Are you sure you don't even have an anini? How about you open this window and I check to see if you have a hundred pounds lying around. Then, we'll go."</span>
