Hello, this is from a comedy movie, Ruthless People, year 1986. This scene takes place at the end of the movie and at this point there are too many context, so I'll omit a few details.

Kidnapper Kenny arrives at a plaza in Los Angeles to pick up the ransom. He already knows that he is being watched from a distance by the police, and he already has a plan for that. But all of a sudden, a robber named Earl shows up, he demands that Ken hand over the ransom to him. A police rifleman makes a warning shot. Earl doesn't see anyone around but Kenny, so he thinks it was him:

[A gun shoots]
Earl: Did you shoot at me?
Ken: No, you moron. There's police all over the place. Hundreds of them!
Earl: Do I look that stupid?
Ken: Yes, you do!
Earl: If you shot at me, where's your gun?
Ken: Well, you're too sharp for me! You got me figured out. I don't have one.

Earl is quite dumb. He's here only because his (much smarter) girlfriend talked him into it.

I wonder if you could explain to me what Ken's line "you're too sharp for me" means? I understand that Ken is being sarcastic, but I don't understand what exactly he means by it.

I made a recording of this part, here it is:

It means 'You're too smart for me', i.e., I'm not able to fool you. Yes, he's being sarcastic.
 
I'm afraid I'm sill not absolutely clear on this. What troubles me is this "for me". What verb is implied after it? Like you said, "fool"?
Tell me if I have the right idea, please:

"Well, you're too sharp for me (to fool you)!"
So, the next line is a follow-up then?
"You got me figured out" means here "there's nothing I can hide from you, you see right through me."

Am I correct or not?
