out of my place.

Guy below us is a prick.

Seriously man,

what's been up?

Just another boring

day at the mill.

What happened this time?

I just unclogged a giant

saw gear.

Honestly man,

I should have been a plumber.

I don't know man,

unclogging a giant saw,

actually sounds kinda cool.

[Michael] Yeah first couple of

times, but now it's kind of,

lost it's luster.

- Hello boys.

- [all] Hello Mrs. Bogart.

Hey mom.

Christian, I need you to

take the trash out in a bit.

Ok.

Oh, and you're aunt Gladius is coming

to stay with us for a few days.

She'll be staying in your room.

Sounds great.

[chuckling]

It's been 24-years since you have

moved out of her, do you know that?

Dude, shut the f*** up.

This is bullshit.

- We shouldn't have to drink in fear.

- It's not that bad.

Not that bad?

Prison has less surprise visits.

Besides, she glares at me,

like I'm the black sheep.

She's not your biggest fan.

Well, screw this.

Let's go somewhere.

Like where?

Back on America soil.

- [fence rattling]

- [chuckling]

[John] God this brings you back to the time

Corina's house got rolled by the cops.

Everyone jumped into

windows and doors.

[Levi] I've never seen

Christian run so fast.

Yeah, well.

Try having parents like mine.

At least we're legal

to drink now.

[bottle rattles]

- Not in the street.

- Screw it.

You guys uh...

Wanna go back to,

my place?

God, would you live a little.

What are we doing

tomorrow night?

I don't know, drink?

We've been doing that

since graduation.

What's wrong with that?

I don't know.

Let's do something else,

something different.

[John] Hate to break it

to you Michael,

not much different

to do in this town.

Michael!

What?

You got to go down and clear

out big Bertha again.

Come on man, I just f***ing

did it yesterday.

Get Cameron or Brock

to do it.

What?

I said no.

Did it sound like I was

asking you?

Well I'm telling you that

I'm done with this sh*t.

Hey man.

Look he just did it yesterday,

let me do it.

Shut up, John.

Hey f*** you.

Say that again.

He said f*** you, we're done.

Well that got out of hand.

Screw it.

I got tired of that old man

giving me orders anyway.

Won't your dad be pissed?

Oh yeah...

- Going home.

- Hey f*** that.

We just lost our jobs.

We're getting drunk.

Ah, yep, yep, yep, ok good.

[John] So, any plans

for employment?

Anything that doesn't involve

wood working.

There's always the steel mill.

I'd rather hang myself.

Well you're no fun.

[pins fall over]

Alright.

Let's get out of here.

We just got here.

Really 45-minutes ago.

What's up fags?

Hey guys, we were actually

just about to...

First pitchers on me.

[John] Christian,

let me borrow 20 bucks.

[Levi] You know, I thought working for my

sisters lingerie store, would kind of work out.

Figured go in, see enough b*obs,

bush, make my way up to manager.

Her and I can run

the family business.

Then she got pregnant.

Gave the job to her husband.

But, you still see b*obs

and bush right?

It's not the same.

Remember what we thought life

would be like after graduation?

God, were we that dumb?

Thought for sure

I'd have a house,

and a career by now.

Probably didn't help that

you got a theatre degree.

I mean, what the f***

happened to us guys?

That's life man,

sometimes it's a b*tch.

I don't know about you guys, but if I wasn't

drinking every night, I don't know what I'd do.

What?

You know what I mean, man, it's like we do the

same thing night after night, after night.

It's been three years

and nothing's changed.

So what are you saying?

You wanna go,

like on a road trip?

- Yeah, why not?

- [John] With what money?

We would only get past Vegas, that's if we

don't blow our money on strippers and cocaine.

I'd actually be cool with Vegas.

What about going to valley

stadium and catching a game?

Again, money, which is what

we barely have.

Is there anything we can do, that's

fun, that doesn't involve money?

We could go shooting.

- We do that all the time.

- Ah, not drunk, we haven't.

County fair.

There's always babes, it's always a

good time, it's not for a while, but...

Doing this to October?

How about a hike?

[chuckles]

There is always

robbing banks.

[chuckles]

Yeah, yeah why not?

What? Actually rob a bank?

- Yeah.

- Right.

Could you imagine the four of

us, going in to rob a bank?

- I don't even think we could make it past the front door.

- Why's that?

We're not bank robbers.

Yeah.

[Michael] Well, it's not

that hard, y-you get in,

get some cash,

and you get out, right?

[Levi] Have to be way more

complicated than that.

[Christian] I mean.

We need the getaway cars,

disguises, guns.

Which we all have.

I mean, it's not that

complicated.

I don't know man, I think you've

been watching too many movies.

Well, here me out though.

We hit only local banks, right?

There's not much security.

Barely anyone goes into them.

We get in, get as much

cash as we can,

and we're out in a few seconds.

Michael, [clears throat]

I was kidding.

Yeah well I'm not man.

F***ing look at us.

Why don't we live

a little bit?

Michael, it was a joke.

John.

Tell him.

You're serious?

You want to rob a bank?

Yeah.

I'm in.

- What?

- You're both hammered.

Yeah I am.

You guys realize, if you get caught,

you're gonna do some serious butt time.

Then we won't get caught.

Michael, think about

what you're saying.

Look, we rob easy banks,

we get a sh*t ton of cash,

and then we spend it

on fun stuff.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

What do you think?

You guys in?

I think it sounds like a kind

of, kind of bad idea.

You wanna go back to,

working at a lingerie store,

for the rest of your life?

Or living in your

parents basement?

And look if we get caught,

we all go down together.

Holy sh*t, you two are serious.

Yeah I'm in, I'm with ya,

let's do it.

I don't know guys.

[Michael] Christian, come on man,

have I ever steered you wrong?

No.

Well then trust me on this, man.

I wouldn't ask you guys to do this,

if I thought we couldn't pull it off.

- Alright.

- [claps]

- Yeah.

- Alright.

Listen,

we have to promise each other that

we won't tell anybody about this.

We're in till the end.

Really?

What?

No, no, you know what?

He's right.

Come on, hands in.

[sighs]

[Michael] We start from taking

notes from heist movies.

[Levi] Really?

[Christian] Well, not too different

from real life, I guess.

[Michael] We're gonna hit the

general bank, downtown.

John and I are going to be

handling surveillance.

[Christian] Ok so,

what about weapons?

Oh I got my dad's three arm,

I wanna use that.

- A golf club?

- No, you're not using that.

No.

What you got something better?

Than a golf club? Yeah.

- Like what?

- My old man's, Winchester.

Wait what?

[chuckles] The replica?

- You're gonna use a replica to rob a bank?

- Beats a gold club!

No it doesn't,

it doesn't fire.

- People aren't going to think that.

- Yeah, but they're gonna want,
