Sonny boy, now you and I are

just not communicating.

- Evening Sheriff.

- Evening.

Mr. Garfinkle has been expecting you.

Run a check on these, will you Ned?

Harold!

You alright?

Oh, first grade Bill, first grade.

Just that I don't like strangers

in my bank when I'm not here.

Would you mind closing the door?

How are things progressing Bill?

Well.. I've been thinking...

- Two of 'em drive up in the Connie, right?

- Right.

But there's two already

inside the bank waiting.

Now how'd they get here?

You think maybe there's an abandoned

vehicle someplace...

Sheriff Horton. They said the car has been

there ever since the morning of the robbery.

Right.

- What is it?

- For what it's worth, matches.

"Reese Lanes".

Well, hell. That's it! This

case is breaking wide open.

Get a line on that bastard even if I have to

ring every doorbell in Reese. Come on Dan.

Dan, you and Henderson stay in the car

and let me know if you find anything.

Everybody else, let's move it!

You called it, kid.

Who's there?

Molly.

Told you I wouldn't be

finished 'til midnight!

So boo-hoo, we'll kill an hour too.

You haven't heard from Mr. Varrick?

No, not yet.

May I use your telephone?

Yeah, make yourself at home.

Say, you wouldn't have a beer for

a thirsty man, would you?

I'll look and see.

Beverly, it's Molly.

I'm in Albuquerque at 242-5325.

Varrick!

I got a warrant for your arrest.

Either you come out or we're coming in.

Alright everybody. Do stand

fast and keep us covered.

And don't anybody get careless.

I could have told you nobody was home.

Will you sign for the dynamite please?

- Sign for the dynamite, right?

- Right.

- Gotta sign for everything these days.

- I guess so.

Dynamite, time delay cap...

Mercury switch and emergency

compartment light.

- One, two, three and four. Anything else?

- That's it.

That's $9 even.

There you go. Out of 10.

Wouldn't happen to have the uh...

Time, eh?

My watch's a little slow.

It's 8:
47.

- I'll put that in a bag?

- It's ok, don't need a bag. Thank you.

May I ask what that's for?

Yes, you certainly may.

No, no. I wanna talk to Mr. Boyle.

What is it about please?

This is the main office of

Western Fidelity banks, isn't it?

Yes. Yes it is.

And Mr. Boyle is the president of the chain?

And I'm his executive secretary.

Now, how can I help you, please?

You can't. I have to see or talk

with Mr. Boyle himself.

Mr. Boyle is out of town but

I'm sure if you leave your

name and a number where you

can be reached, he'll..

What is your name, please?

- Miss Fort.

- Fort?

Yes, Sir.

Hey kid!

Hey kid!

Bring all your roses.

All of 'em?

All of 'em!

- Atta boy. 20 Ok?

- Sure.

- Ok, thank you

- Thank you

Oh Miss Fort. Good evening.

A gentleman brought some flowers by for you

earlier. I thought you might like to have them.

Who did?

I really don't know. He didn't leave his

name. I thought probably you would know him.

- Good evening Miss Fort.

- Hi.

- Good evening. How are you tonight, William?

- Fine.

Who is it?

Flowers.

What do you want?

Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

Which doesn't mean I won't throw you

right out that window if I have to.

I'm not scared.

- What do you want?

- I wanna see Boyle.

Kendrick bar.

Hello. I'd like to speak to Mr.

Maynard Boyle, please.

Is there a Mr. Boyle in the house?

Be right there.

- Hello. Hello?!

- Hello. This is Sybil.

How pleasant to hear your voice Miss Fort.

I assume this call is important.

If you consider three quarters

of a million dollars important.

What about it?

I have a gentleman here who

wants to give it back to you.

Is he alone?

Yes. He's alone.

Put him on.

Thank you.

Hello Boyle.

Who is this?

Charley Varrick.

I got something I wanna get back to you.

How is it packaged?

In two canvas leather bags with

the name stenciled on the front.

So give 'em back. What's the problem?

The problem is the big gorilla in the

maroon car who's trying to kill me.

I'm listening.

All I want is your word that

once these bags are delivered

to your hand, that's the end of it.

No reprisals.

Say you wanna meet with me?

Alone. No hitmen.

Where?

Ten miles north of Reese. On state highway number

23. There's a big automobile junkyard there..

And an airstrip that crop-dusters use.

10 miles north of Reese..

On state highway 23..

I'll meet you there tomorrow morning and when I

fly in I wanna see you standing there alone.

What time in the morning?

Just be there early.

About a quarter of a mile down

the strip past the hangar.

And if there's anybody within

500 yards of you, forget it.

Just kiss the money goodbye.

Got it?

I'll see you in the morning.

- Charley Varrick?

- Yeah.

I'm gonna tell you something

I guess I shouldn't.

I wouldn't trust him if I were you.

I like your bed.

You may find this hard to believe

but I've never slept on a round bed.

Is that so?

What's the best way?

North, South, East or West?

That depends on what you had in mind.

What I had in mind was boxing the compass.

You'd better not be there.

Why not?

It there's anyone around... 500 yards..

The deal is gone.

So I'll be 501 yards.

Just don't be there.

That's nice.

My wife's wedding ring.

You're an interesting man Mr. Varrick.

Go to sleep Miss Fort.

The last of the independents!

Go to sleep. You know I have to be up early.

Don't get killed!

I'll try not to. Go to sleep, please.

You still owe me south by south-west.

Then will you go to sleep?

We'll see.

South by south-west.

Think it's this way.

You found it.

We did it!

We pulled it off!

What the hell are you talking about?

We did it!

What are you doing? What is this?

Are you a hard man to reach?

I'll make a deal with you.

You're hardly in any position to make a deal.

Smell that gasoline?

I bet this thing will burn in a hurry.

I know where the money is.

You'll never find it without my help.

Your end is what?

Just help me out of here and let me go.

- Where's the money.

- We got a deal?

Money first.

Get the keys out of my pocket

I can't move my arm.

- Now you see that blue Chevy over there?

The money is in the trunk.

Well, I'll be back.
