Catch Me If You Can Page #2

loan money to people

who have unresolved business

with the IRs.

That's a misunderstanding.

I hired the wrong guy

to do my books.

A mistake, I...

anybody could make it.

I just need you guys

to help me weather the storm.

sir, you're being investigated

by the government for tax fraud.

My store is a landmark

in New Rochelle.

I have customers

all over New York.

Well, you're not a customer

at Chase Manhattan.

We don't know you.

I'm sure your bank

in New Rochelle

they know you,

they could help you out.

My bank went out of business.

Banks like this one put

them out of business.

Now, I know I made a mistake,

I admit that

but these people want blood.

They want my store.

They've threatened

to put me in jail.

This is America, right?

I'm not a criminal.

I'm a Medal of Honor winner

a lifetime member

of the New Rochelle Rotary Club.

All I'm asking is for you

to help me beat these guys.

It's not a question

of winning and losing.

It's a question of risk.

You're the largest bank

in the world.

Where's the fu...

Whe... Where's the risk?

Dad, how could you just let him

take our car like that?

He didn't take anything.

We took him.

He overpaid by $500.

Come on, Frank.

Let's return the suit.

This place is good.

It's small but, you know

it's going to be

a lot less work.

A lot less work for you.

Hey, Dad.

Hi.

Where's your mother?

I don't know.

she said something

about going to look for a job.

What's she gonna be

a shoe salesman

at a centipede farm?

What are you doing?

You want some pancakes?

For dinner?

On my son's 16th birthday?

We're not gonna eat pancakes.

Come on, why are you looking

at me like that?

You thought I forgot?

- I didn't think you forgot.

- I opened a checking account

in your name.

I put $25 in the account

so you can buy

whatever you want.

Don't tell your mother.

I won't.

Thanks, Dad.

Yep.

Didn't that bank turn you down

for a loan, though?

Yes, they all turned me down.

Then why you opening

a banking account with them?

Well, because one day,

you'll want something

from these people...

a house, a car.

They have all the money.

There's 50 checks there, Frank

which means, from this day on...

you're in their little club.

I'm in their little club.

You got that, you got it all.

It's even got my name there,

huh?

To the moon.

- To the moon!

- To the moon.

see that? It's just a school.

No different than Westbourne.

Ma... you said you were

going to quit.

Frankie, you don't have

to wear the uniform here.

Why don't you take off

your jacket?

I'm used to it.

Excuse me.

Oh, yes?

Do you know

where room 17 French is?

Yeah, it's...

But you frickin' killed him.

You selling encyclopedias?

Yeah, he looks like

a substitute teacher.

Quiet down, people!

My name is Mr. Abagnale!

That's Abagnale, not Abagnahlee

not Abagnaylee, but Abagnale!

Now, somebody please tell me

where you left off

in your textbooks.

Excuse me, people,

if I need to ask again

I'm going to write up

the entire class.

Take your seats!

Chapter seven.

Will you please open your

textbooks to, uh, chapter eight

and we'll get started?

Excuse me,

what's your name?

Brad.

Brad, why don't you get up here

in front of the class here

and read conversation

number five?

:

"Les Francais sonts

"uh, generalement

- "dans leur pais que...

presque tout le monde

a cette impression..."

They sent for me.

They said they needed a sub

for Roberta.

I came all the way

from-from Dixon.

Well, uh,

I always sub for Roberta.

Excuse me,

why aren't you reading?

I'll never come back to-to

Bellarmine Jefferson again!

- You tell them not to call me!

What do they think,

it's easy for a woman my age

and all the money that it costs

to travel?

I tell you,

they don't give a damn.

Mr. And Mrs. Abagnale

this is not a question

of your son's attendance.

I regret to inform you that,

for the past week

Frank has been teaching

Mrs. Glasser's French class.

He what?

Your son has been pretending

to be a substitute teacher

lecturing the students,

uh, giving out homework.

Mrs. Glasser has been ill

and there was

some confusion

with the real sub.

Your son held a teacher-parent

conference yesterday

and was planning

a class field trip

to a French bread factory

in Trenton.

Do you see the problem we have?

- Mrs. Davenport?

- Yeah.

Uh, I have a note to miss fifth

and sixth period today.

Doctor's appointment.

- One moment.

I'll be right with you.

Hey...

Yes?

You should fold it.

What?

That note. It's a fake, right?

You should fold it.

It's... It's a note from my mom.

I have a doctor's appointment.

Yeah, but there's no crease

in the paper.

When your mom hands you a note

to miss school

the first thing you do is,

you fold it

and you put it in your pocket.

I mean, if it's real,

where's the crease?

Frankie.

Ma, I'm home.

Oh, you remember

that girl Joanna

I was telling you about?

I asked her out today.

Think we're going to go

to the Junior Prom.

Ma, is this

my driver's license?

That's all there is,

two bedrooms.

Oh, Frankie.

You remember Dad's friend?

Jack Barnes?

From the club.

Hello.

He came by looking

for your father.

I was giving him

a tour of the apartment.

It's very, uh, uh,

spacious, Paula.

Dad's at the store.

so, Frank...

you're getting to look

more like your old man

every day.

Thanks for the sandwich, Paula.

I'll see you later, eh?

Wait.

Is this yours?

Oh.

Well, thanks, Frank.

Uh, that's the President's pin.

I'd be in deep trouble

if I lost that.

I'll see you all later, eh?

Are you hungry, Frankie?

I'll make you a sandwich.

Jack wanted to talk business

with your father.

He thinks we should get a lawyer

and sue the government.

That is not legal,

what they're doing to us.

Why aren't you saying anything?

You're not going to tell him...

are you?

No.

That's right.

There's nothing to tell.

I'm going out for a few hours

to visit some old friends

from the tennis club and...

when I get home,

we'll all have dinner together.

Right?

But you won't say anything

because it's...

it's just silly, isn't it?

How could we sue anybody?

Oh... do you need

some money, Frankie?

A few dollars to buy

some record albums?

Here, take five dollars.

Or-Or ten.

You promised you were going

to quit.

Ma, I'm home!

Hey, hey!

You... You stay away from me,

hear me?

You stay away from me...

I don't know who you are

but if you ever

come back here again...

Frankie! Frank, Frank,

calm down, will you?

I'm Dick Kesner.

Now, I want you

to leave your things here

and follow me

into the next room, okay?

They're all waiting for you.

You don't have to be scared.

I'm right here, Frank.

I'll always be here.

But there are laws.

Everything in this country has

to be legal.

so what we need to do is

make some decisions.

That's what Mr. Kesner

is here for.

Many times these decisions

are left up to the courts

but that can be

very expensive, Frank
