Bandits Page #3

Women love

a man who loves danger.

You guys were talking before about the

"front" man, you kept mentioning this guy...

Will you explain to the people at

home and to me...

...what exactly the "front man" does

and who he is?

Well, well, Darren...

The front man handles pretty much

everything else except robbing the bank.

He... he rents the rooms...

...he gets the supplies, the food that,

you know, we would eat...

...he drives the getaway car...

Right.

Joe and I maintain, what you call,

a "low profile".

Right.

If the front man is never seen in a

bank, we're never seen out of one.

And... I plotted

all the banks that we robbed...

...from Oregon to California...

- Right

Our first bank on the list was

the Oregon City Bank.

So, the schedules, and the routines,

and the bank guards, the tellers...

...we got it all down.

But mostly, we watched our

first hostage.

Darryl Miller, the bank president,

didn't know it yet...

...but he was about to spend the

night with the "Sleep-Over Bandits".

Wow.

That sounded good, right?

Yeah, it's pretty...

Didn't know it yet, but he was about to

spend the night with the "Sleep-Over Bandits".

Yes, it's very newsworthy.

Look! It's his job, all right?

I asked...

...I asked him

to get me a good mustache...

and he gets me something that looks

like it came out of a cracker-jack box.

This is not about the mustache.

We've got to work.

Well, he's got you a nice wig.

Look at you!

You look great!

Yeah! Have you noticed the burns?

They're kinda flappin'.

Hon, can you get the door?

Everybody, dinner in a half hour!

Howdy.

We're here to rob

your goddamn bank.

Now, just get in there.

It's OK, mummy.

The important thing, here...

The important thing...

...is that we spend

a quiet night together...

...and then, tomorrow morning,

bright and early...

...we all go down

to the bank together, and...

It's really a reasonable proposition,

if you think about it.

Sure.

Whatever you say.

That's the spirit.

Stop playing with your food, Erika.

But it's too long.

Here.

Next time I want you to try to wrap it

round your fork just like daddy does.

Cut mine, mom.

Just a second, hon.

The sauce is too wet.

It's not too wet.

Yes, it is.

The sauce is too wet.

You know, actually Ms. Miller,

this sauce is quite terrific.

- It's brilliant.

- Isn't it?

I hate it.

Thank you.

What time is the vault set for?

7:
30.

- Tomato/lemon?

- Yes.

Lemon zest, oregano,

a little cream...

See, I cook a little.

Keys?

Two.

I have one...

...the operations officer

has the other one.

There's something in here

I can't identify, though.

Is it basil?

No.

Rosemary?

No! Don't tell me!

Don't tell me!

Is not that big of a deal.

It's saffron.

Yes.

Yes, it's saffron.

Bingo!

I knew it!

You know, sometimes

I put a little sugar in mine.

It cuts the acidity.

Pss pss pss... Sugar!

Thank you. I'll try to remember that.

Little tricks, you know.

Wanna see something cool

that I can do?

Sure.

Monica!

What?

We've got guests...

Sort of.

Do you think you're gonna fool

anybody in that getup?

I mean, you look like

Neil Young in that...

What was that album?

"After The Horses" or...

That was "After The Gold Rush"

and that's not that one.

It's the one where he's leaning

against the tree in the snow.

Or whatever. That's what I was

actually going for.

Going out of the bank is almost

as important as getting into it.

The hostages were kept under the

strictest possible guard...

...to prevent escape

or alarm of any type, you see.

You see,

we had to bring their kids along...

...the Miller children.

Butane?

Copy this. Butane.

You're all clear and

ready to rock and roll.

Please, turn the music down.

I can't hear a word you said.

"Clear and ready to rock and roll!"

Thank you.

Hey, girls.

You just stay right here.

Everybody should be here

in ten minutes.

What's the "All clear"?

What's that?

Washington, on the inside.

What?

George Washington.

When it's all clear, he's facing in.

Make "All clear", Darill.

Cool.

Three more.

Good morning.

Good morning, Darill.

Good morning, ladies.

Is this a joke?

No, ma'am.

This is a bank robbery.

Hurry it up.

It's not a parade. Come on.

All righty then.

Just have seat with

everybody else...

It's not gonna take long.

Monica?

I have to go to the bathroom.

No more juice boxes, Cloe. OK?

If it weren't the fact that the kids

had bladders the size of humming birds...

...yeah, we would've been done.

Well, they drank a lot of juice, Frank.

One of these days

you're gonna get caught.

It's a really dangerous job.

Aren't you a bit scared?

And afraid?

When you know danger

the way we do...

I know it like an animal,

like a wild animal.

You know what they called me

in jail?

No, I don't.

The Panther.

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you

very much for your cooperation.

Please, make no attempt to escape...

...because we will be monitoring the police

scanners, and we'll kill you if you do.

When you're a well-done machine

you exude danger.

Sure.

People fear you...

...they fear your presence...

The gun really is secondary.

Thank you.

Now listen.

We go separate ways...

...two weeks from today

we meet in Klamath Falls.

Right. Now, you take this map.

It's on there.

I wanna go with Joe.

You can't do that.

You can't.

They're looking for two men.

And that's why we're splitting up...

...going solo, as planned.

What am I supposed to do

for two weeks?

You stay out of trouble.

Try that!

What about the minivan?

You leave it here.

But I like the minivan.

It's roomy.

I appreciate that but,

as it's a stolen minivan...

...it's probably better

that you leave it here.

Let's go. We gotta go.

Come on.

And what about my money?

Here's yours, right there.

We split it three ways.

Nothing fancy.

I'm buying me a fire suit.

First thing.

I bet I can mail order one out of L.A.

Way to go. Good job, man!

You too, buddy!

Be careful.

Be careful. Stay out of trouble.

What are you gonna buy

with your shares?

Paradise.

Two weeks, Klamath Falls.

Be careful.

Joe Blake and Terry Collins.

This is lieutenant McCormick...

...from the

Los Angeles Police Department.

Put down your weapons

and come out of the bank...

...with your hands in the air.

This could be a bad time,

but I just wanna point out...

...that I did warn you that, that

woman was gonna be the ruin of us.

Right. Understood.

But, as our future looks

rather bleak and miserable...

...I suggest we figure out

what got us here in the first place.

Which brings us back to that woman.

"The most common symptom

of Vaginitis...

...is an abnormal vaginal discharge,

often..."

"Probably

from an allergic reaction to mites."

Out of gas.

Sh*t.

What is that smell?

It's a gratin of Florence fennel...

...new potatoes...

...clam and sorrel soup...

...with cream and mirepoix...

...and stuffed quail.

Kate, I have a dinner tonight. Clients.

Tonight?

Oh, well.
