- Jimmy it.

- Try that.

Yeah, okay.

Okay.

Wonderful.

Now we take it

and we get out of here.

- Big piece.

- Oh, boy.

But it's a beautiful piece.

It's a good choice.

Thank you.

- You see The Agony and the Ecstasy?

- Many years ago.

Charlton Heston? Not bad.

I must admit, that was a boring party.

A surprise party.

I don't believe this.

Dear friends, I am truly surprised.

You know, when we came up

to the house tonight, it was all dark...

...I turned to Millie and said,

"My God, we must've lost our power."

Oh, Fred, you dirty rat.

You're the one responsible.

- I can tell by that look in your eye.

- Happy birthday.

Harriet, you came all the way

down for this. Thank you, Julie.

Back from the Bahamas.

Look at you all.

Dorothy, thanks for being here.

No, no. No cake. Just a big drink.

Thank you. One for me,

one for my lady. There we go.

Who's that over there?

Hoffman?

Hoffman, what are you doing here?

Why are you walking around

with my Michelangelo?

- Yeah.

- Oh, this is a Michelangelo?

- Thought so. I mentioned that to Leonard.

- Yes, he did.

- This is a beautiful piece.

- Get out. Or I call the police.

- People must've been much shorter then.

- We were actually on our way out.

Well, we had that business

that we wanted to discuss.

I want you out of my house.

I'd like to thank you for sharing

your birthday. Lovely party.

- Now. Both of you! Out! Get out!

- Enjoy, everyone.

- We'll talk Monday.

- Right. Len, you wanna take this?

Beautiful home.

If you ever wanna rent it...

I didn't feel welcome there.

I don't know about you.

Eighteen years I worked for that man.

18 years.

I didn't pursue the settlement.

The time wasn't right.

He kicks me out of his house!

I kick him out of my house!

Leonard, they're snobs.

They're just not our kind of people.

We can't rob his house,

we'll go rob him in the office.

I just don't want us

to run off like crazy people.

You'd think they'd keep

the place up, Len.

I'll check the log,

make sure no one's upstairs.

Davis, out. Leon, out. Perfect.

So far, so good.

You don't wanna sign in.

You're the best.

Okay. There's a switch under here.

I saw him hit it

when I was in the office.

I notice everything.

- Through here?

- Of course.

There it is.

This is the safe,

the one that I was telling you about.

Everything we want is in there.

- There's no tumblers.

- No, that's right.

- This is electronic.

- That's right.

Jim pushed the button over here.

Yeah.

The guy told him to press something,

so he pushed it.

Here.

What are you doing?

The safe is over here.

- Why don't we do this together?

- Yes. Let me do it. I'll do it. Here.

Boy, this is working like a charm.

Okay, now you can hold the light,

let's see, two lights.

Okay.

Okay.

- Where there's a will, there's a way.

- Where there's a will, there's a way.

This is what I call pleasure. This is fun.

Now, Leonard, don't be disappointed

if we get back there, you know...

Because...

I just don't want you to be disappointed.

We'll find another way.

No, no, nothing worthwhile

ever comes easily.

Hey, you see The Great Escape?

Steve McQueen? Boy, those guys work.

Oh, lookie here. Leonard.

Leonard, you hear how thin that is?

It's gonna go easy. Listen, Leonard.

It's like an eighth of an inch.

- Get the stuff. This is gonna work.

- The briquettes?

- Yes, Leonard, everything.

- Okay.

We're gonna blow it.

This is gonna work! Hurry up!

- Steve?

- What?

- Wanna come here for a minute?

- What? What's the problem?

There's somebody here.

He's looking at me.

Well, ask him what he wants.

I don't wanna.

- You ask him what he wants.

- Hey, how you doing?

Bear with me a little minute.

Be right out.

Get out of here.

You're cramping my style.

Hey, what do you say?

- What's happening? Everything all right?

- So, what's up?

- What's happening? Who is it?

- lf you're a crook, we beat you to it.

If you're a cop, no harm done.

A little hole in the wall.

Yeah, French. Bonjour. Oui, si.

Leonard? Leonard?

You speak French, Len?

What is that, the authorities?

Italian? No.

Un poco. Little bit.

We don't like to speak in English.

It's against what we stand for.

Are we gonna get incarcerated?

Are you in the process

of robbing this place?

- Yes, as a matter of fact, we are.

- We are in the process of blowing it up.

- What's getting blown up?

- What time is that gonna take place?

What are you shooting for?

We got gold in here. Are you crazy?

Hit him. On the head, Leonard.

Hit him! Beautiful.

Don't understand gold. They must be very

ignorant. Don't worry, I'll make a deal.

Hello? Listen, fellas.

We don't wanna do anything to you.

We wanna make a deal for gold.

Five minutes.

This whole place is gonna blow up.

Godalmighty.

Anybody hurt?

Why don't we make a deal?

We got gold in here.

Capisce gold?

Comprendo gold?

And, you, I don't speak English.

You gotta untie me. We're dealing with

one of the world's biggest companies.

They have as much money

as an oil company.

And they can be very dangerous

if you get them angry.

We're not talking a light jail sentence.

We're talking about being blown away.

- Please.

- No damage, everything'll be all right.

Don't let anything happen to them.

They don't mean any harm. They're cute.

Hurry!

I promise nothing

is gonna happen to them.

- Say it again.

- Nothing is gonna happen to them.

- They'll be all right.

- Okay.

Nothing's gonna happen.

They'll be all right!

- You said you promised!

- I promise.

They're gonna be all right.

Nothing will happen to them.

What the hell's going on here? Frank?!

Hey, lady.

Hey, lady. There are terrorists

about to blow the building there.

What are you doing here?

We know there are terrorists up there

trying to blow up the building.

So Mr. Leonard Hoffman,

who works for United Marine...

...Mr. O'Mara, who's the head of security,

who works directly with Mr. Winslow...

...and Steve Rickey, my husband, have

just gone up there to try and stop them.

You mind giving me

those names again?

Not at all.

What the hell is this?

What's going on here?

Hey, who are you?

What are you doing here?

- Who are you?

- I asked you, who are you?

- Who are you?!

- Don't ask me who I am.

- Who are you, what are you doing here?!

- Who are you?!

- Who are you, what are you doing here?!

- Who are you?

- Who the f*** are you? You tell me now!

- Don't f*** me, f*** you!

You don't say f*** me.

You tell me who you are. Right now!

- I'm with security. Who are you?!

- This is who I am!

All right, take it easy, take it easy.

I got dynamite here! That's dynamite!

Damn gun jammed!

Help! Help! Help! Help!

I shoot you. I shoot you.

I can shoot! I'll shoot you!

I better go out there

and see what's going on.

- You're not going.

- I gotta go!

- You don't know what you're doing.

- What's going on, John?

Drop it.

Oh, the wires!

I gotta get my building back.

This is my home.

I worked here for 20 years.
