to bet against it.

We'll take your word sister.

You've never seen us, you

can't identify us.

We'll take your word.

Thank you but I couldn't

give you my word about

a thing like that.

What difference does it make.

A great deal.

I couldn't let my silence

be used as a

weapon against the law.

Sister you're not hired

to defend the law.

I'm sorry, I couldn't

give you my word.

All right Joe.

Come on lady.

Look, leave her alone.

Lie down rover.

You need a new mouth.

Stop them Earl.

With a million dollars to

split, just pray for a tie.

You're all through you dash.

You getting heavy Joe.

Mr. Goddard!

Better get a move on.

Gonna be in trouble.

You're already in trouble

Mr. Goddard.

You picked a talking partner.

How far has this thing gone?

It's a fix all the way.

They got this area staked out

for three Miles around.

I'll listen, have you

got a suggestion?

Yeah, leave her here and I'll

see that you get through the

police port.

No thanks.

One large shot and you'll bring

up enough guns here to

start a war.

I can get you through.

For what?

To grab 20 minutes of air

and die on a back road.

Maybe.

But right now that sounds

like a lot.

Does it, that?

Sister, either you're lucky

or living right.

You drive Gunner.

Come on, let's get out of here.

We've got a million

buck in the car.

We got nothing.

You heard what he said.

It's a fix all the way.

The dough's phony.

Come on!

Cover us.

Surround the building.

Put out that flare!

Tell those men to be careful,

Goddard's in there.

Yeah.

I'm betting it's empty.

Didn't the post office ever

teach you how to...

For the record Al, is

the dough phony too?

No, it was real.

So you die rich Earl.

Sorry, things went a little

wrong after the robbery.

Somewhat.

Are you all right Mr. Goddard.

I'll make it, I guess.

Dave, you better hurry

and put the sister.

On the train.

I think she wants to get

back to her children.

You know one of these days

the Yankees may need

a new second baseman.

Goodbye Mr. Goddard.

God bless you.

Thank you sister.

For once, you're right Maury.

There goes somebody who

doesn't have a pitch.

Al, if you stay with it and

work real hard, one of these

days you're going to qualify

for the human race.

I may join the bet.
