Before the Devil Knows You're Dead Page #2

---

- There's a class trip, everyone's going.

- Did you ask your father?

- Can I, Dad?

- Yeah, sure. I got some money.

Well, it's $130.

But we're staying overnight

and that includes hotel and everything.

Okay, great. Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Hey, man. Can I talk to you?

- Where are you?

- I'm down the hall, by the coffee.

- How about my office, 30 seconds?

- All right.

Hank, the super at 111 Riverside

says the boiler's really kaput.

He needs you to... Hello?

So?

- That place that you were talking about.

- What place?

- The one that we were going to...

- To knock off?

Yeah.

To rob?

You say it.

Tell me about it.

I'm not going to tell you about it

until you say you're in

and once you say it, there's no way out.

I'm in.

Let me see your hands.

- Just say it again, "I'm in. "

- What're you talking about?

Just say it again, "I'm in. "

I'm in.

What?

I just wanted to see if you were pulling

any of that chickenshit baby stuff

like when we were kids, you know,

"It doesn't count.

I had my fingers crossed. "

I'm in. What're we doing?

- And when?

- It's a jewelry store.

- Does this ring a bell?

- No.

What if I tell you it's got

a Foot Locker on one side

and a Claire's Accessories on the other.

Yeah, that's right. You got it. Now, listen.

We don't want Tiffany's.

We want a Mom and Pop operation,

in a busy place,

on a Saturday

when the week's takes go in the safe.

We both worked there.

We know the safe combinations.

We know the burglar alarm signals.

We know where everything is.

I figure, between the week's take,

the jewelry and the cases,

the vault, there's a $500,000 haul.

I figure probably six.

That old dumb old lady that works there,

she's alone till noon.

She's not going to be a problem.

Andy.

Yeah?

That's Mom and Dad's store.

That's what I said.

A Mom and Pop operation.

- You can't do that.

- Yeah, we can. Think about it.

It's perfect. It's perfect.

In and out in a minute.

Insurance takes care of Mom and Dad,

so they're not hurt. Right?

No one's going to give a sh*t.

After a week the cops

- will put it in the back of the filing cabinet.

- Jesus, Andy. I...

Why did you even want me in on this?

Well, it'll solve everything for both of us.

What has to be solved for you?

Same as you. I need money.

I'm going to start over again.

What do you mean?

What the f*** kind of...

It's none of your business.

I just want out. I just want to... That's all.

I'm getting out,

I want to help my little brother.

Come on.

Yeah.

No, I don't think I can do this.

I don't think I can...

Yeah, you can. Yeah, you can.

I just...

That's $2,000.

It's an advance.

See what just that much does for you.

And,

imagine the rest.

Five, six, seven, eight,

nine hundred dollars.

You still owe me May and June.

Yeah, Monday. All right.

Everything on Monday.

- That's what I said.

- Such a loser.

You're such a f***ing loser.

I come over here with $900.

- Yeah, well, if it was for me, maybe.

- And I'm the f***ing... All right.

- May and June, a**hole.

- Bye, bye, bye.

Danielle, dinner.

No, please don't put me on... Jesus.

- Yo, Bobby.

- What's going on?

- Hey, here, let me buy you a drink.

- I'm working.

- I ain't loaning you no more money.

- No, come on, man. I'm flush.

- You don't exactly...

- Yeah, something like that.

Look, you just...

If you're free tomorrow morning,

I got a proposition for you.

- Later.

- All right.

- What if there is a security guard?

- There isn't.

- Why?

- No, it's a Mom and Pop place.

Who ever heard

of a Mom and Pop jewelry store?

- What the f*** is that?

- It's in the suburbs, all right.

It's not in the city.

I don't know.

We drive out there, we check it out,

if anything looks off,

you know, we just drive away.

We say, "F*** it,"

we drive our happy asses home

and I keep the money anyway.

Yeah, fine.

You keep the money anyway.

- Hanson?

- Yeah, that's me.

All right.

- Yeah.

- Bobby, for Christ's sakes,

- Bobby, we got to go.

- Just come on in.

I just got to throw on some clothes.

It'll only take a second.

We got to go.

- Just give me a second.

- God damn it.

Jesus Christ, Bobby, it's so f***ing early.

Boo wakes up, you f***ing sit up with him.

- I told you it was work.

- I don't give a f*** what it is.

Chris ain't used to getting up this early.

Oh, Christ.

Come on, babe. Here.

- Thank you, baby.

- Yeah, just keep it down, okay?

You wake Boo up, I'll kick your ass.

- All right.

- Yours, too.

All right.

Come on.

All right, let's do it.

Are we there?

- No.

All right.

Who the f*** are you supposed to be?

Look, I used to work there, all right.

I used to work there

and I can't take a chance

on being recognized. Don't... Look...

- You ain't never done this before, huh?

- Yeah, so?

I got to tell you something,

you look like a f***ing a**hole.

- Yeah, all right, look...

- I'm going to do this on my own.

- Really?

- You do the driving, I do the thing, all right.

- What if you need help?

- I got all the help I need.

There's no shooting.

- I ain't looking for it.

- There's no shooting.

- You do the driving.

- Hey.

- I do the thing.

- No shooting.

You ain't got the balls to do the thing.

I got the balls

- and I got a gun. That's the deal.

- Listen, no shooting.

- Or else I'm leaving right now.

- Hey, no!

Just no shooting, okay?

Okay. Ten more minutes.

What the f*** is this?

You can listen to that faggoty sh*t

all the way home.

Right now, I got to get into character.

- Right?

- Okay.

Okay.

This is it.

You ready?

Car out front. Door open.

I jump back in. You take off.

- Simple as a pimple, all right.

- Right.

- Right?

- Right.

- Let's do it.

- All right.

Yes, hi, hello.

Is Andrew Hanson available, please?

Uh...

Mooney. Mooney.

Okay, yeah, tell him it's Mooney.

- Yeah.

- There's a Mr. Mooney on line two.

- He sounds like some nut case.

- Okay.

- But...

- All right, I'll take it.

It just came apart, Andy.

Oh, my God, Andy.

What the f*** am I gonna do?

No, honey, no, don't worry.

It's just some mistake.

It's either the bank's or mine.

Maybe I didn't put enough money

in the joint account.

Yeah. No. Listen, don't worry.

Of course, we have the cash.

I'll call, I'll take care of it. Okay?

Yes, okay?

- Andy?

- Yeah. Yeah.

We're waiting for you

in the conference room.

Okay, I'll be right in.

Jesus.

Okay, next.

The auditors.

Some of you guys might have heard,

we're getting hit with an IRS audit.

The auditors will be here on Monday.

They'll spend a day or two

with each department.

On Monday, they'll start with payroll,

so you're up first, Andy.

Great. Great. No problem.

How are you doing today, sir?

Thanks a lot.

Hungry?

Have a drink.

Right, tonic water.

You know,

the thing about real estate accounting

is that you can,

you can head down the page

or across the page,

and everything works out.

So, every day, everything adds up.

Well, the total is always the sum of its parts.
