Hey, Angie, come here.

Come here!

Angelino, come here!

l just remembered.

So we have to take

$10 million worth...

to get 2 million

from you, right?

That's right.

Nothing big.

How big do they get?

No certificates

over 100,000.

U.S. Treasury

goes up to a million...

but they're

impossible to move.

Stick to the small stuff,

How about payment?

Well, you get

the stuff first.

ls there a number

that's good, some--

You give me

your number.

My number?

Oh, forget it.

My wife isn't in on it.

Your wife

isn't in on it?

Your wife

isn't in on it.

All of a sudden...

l believe you're

on the level, kid.

l am on the level.

How good's your memory?

lt's good.

You call from

a phone booth...

a booth you're sure of.

You'll ask,

''ls Archie there?''

They'll say, ''No.''

You'll leave a number.

Archie should

call you back.

You'll hear from me

in 15 minutes.

lf not, try again later.

When you call, you say

your name is Mr. Bux.

B-u-x. Spell it.

And don't call me

with questions.

You take $10 million

in securities...

from Wall Street...

l'm gonna read about it

in the newspaper.

l don't read about it

in the newspaper...

l don't call back.

Hand me that box.

Take one.

Havanas.

Thanks.

This one's

for your friend...

with the dog.

Nice talkin'

to ya, kid.

You'll be hearing

from me.

That's fine.

Give him his gun

at the gate.

He covered

himself good.

-You make him?

-No.

Smart and stupid

at the same time...

just like a cop.

l want his name, address...

and what he really

does for a living.

You got it, boss.

OK, hold it up here.

Just relax.

Hold it up.

Just hold it up.

Relax, relax.

Excuse me, officer--

lt'll only be a minute,

only be a minute.

Easy! Easy, easy!

-What's the problem?

-The toilet backed up.

Hey, what's your hurry?

You know what O'Neill

had in his house?

A bowling alley.

No sh*t?

Go tell him

crime doesn't pay.

What is it

he wants us to rob?

They're called

bearer bonds.

They're pieces of paper.

They're not heavy,

no trouble.

We walk in,

we take 'em...

and we turn 'em

right over.

Hey...

he smokes Havana cigars.

Joe, l tell you,

this is our guy.

We're going to

the South Seas, kiddo.

...28, down one.

Pfizer 38 1/8, up 1/8.

Allied Chemical

U.S. Steel 31 1/2...

lt's a world

of cops and robbers

...down 5/8.

On the American

Stock Exchange...

sales totaled

Help!

Jesus Christ!

Sh*t!

Hey, grab it--

it's an artery.

Grab it right there.

The money. The money!

He's got my money!

Shut up about the money!

He took my money!

Will you walk?!

Hey. Hey,

l'm afraid to look.

ls it--is it, uh...

hey. ls it...

Don't worry.

Your goods are intact.

Almost had

his leg shot off!

he's shot in the balls.

A little higher,

he's shot in the heart--

he's dead.

l can't wait

till we do it...

and get the hell

out of all this.

What about the wives?

What about them?

What do we tell them?

Nothing.

What do you mean,

''nothing''?

ln the first place,

they'll worry.

ln the second place,

they'll be against it.

ln the third place,

it's none of their business.

Yeah, well, l don't

know about Grace...

but if Mary

suddenly finds herself...

in Trinidad

with a million bucks...

she's gonna suspect

something.

Well, l'm not

telling Grace...

till we get

to Saskatchewan.

Get out here.

Where?

Saskatchewan.

lt's in Canada.

l heard they got

terrific farmland...

up there

that's available.

Grace and l always

wanted to be farmers.

What happened

to the old guy...

that was here when they

first brought you in?

Even though

he was so sick...

he was able to joke

and crack everybody up.

Terrific guy.

What did they do,

take him home?

No. He died.

ln the middle of the night,

he fell right out of bed.

l woke up.

lt scared the crap out of me.

He wanted

to get out of here...

and start doing things.

Like what?

He didn't know.

Well, it's getting

a little late.

l think maybe

l better split.

Well, you got

your 20 now.

Right.

Well, l'm gonna go.

l'll, uh,

see you around, Paul.

Take it easy, huh?

Thanks for the peaches.

Hold it!

Stay down, stay down!

...to the hallway.

Where the hell

are you going?!

-After them!

-Jesus Christ!

They got a shotgun!

They'll blow

your ass off!

They'll get away!

Who the hell

gives a sh*t?

Get back in the car,

cowboy!

Come on, Wyatt Earp.

Go call in.

They shot the sh*t

out of our radiator.

Tell 'em

we need new wheels.

And put your piece away...

before you blow

your foot off.

You slow me up,

all right?

Old timer.

All the yo-yos l get.

Paul, get well!

Come back!

Give me a break, Joe!

Doc Holliday!

You're gonna kill me!

We tell the wives now,

we'll never do it.

OK. We don't tell 'em

till it's over.

Not for 2 years, right?

Yeah.

That's another thing.

l've been thinking

about that.

-Joe, we agreed.

-l know we agreed...

but l don't want

a million bucks...

buried in the ground...

and l get buried

right alongside it.

We just can't do it and run,

for Christ sake.

Yeah, yeah, l know,

but 2 years is too long.

What do you suggest?

-3 months.

-You're crazy.

What do you suggest?

-A year and a half.

-9 months.

-A year.

-You got it.

-Hand me the wrench.

-Get it yourself.

Thanks, Jack.

Take care.

May l help you?

-Hey, is that me?

-Yeah.

What can l do for you?

Jeez, l never been

on television before.

Are you a messenger?

No, l'm just, uh--

l'm looking

for the employment office.

l'm supposed

to come to work here.

Yeah, it's down

on the eighth floor.

Then l'm in

the wrong place, huh?

That's right.

Thanks.

Swanee

We get 'em all.

l got it.

We do a bomb scare.

We phone in...

tell 'em there's

a bomb in the vault...

then we answer the run

ourselves.

-Won't work.

-But it will work.

lt gets us in.

That's the beauty!

And a couple of other cops

answer the run...

before we get out again.

Sh*t!

The problem

isn't to get in.

The problem is to get

out again with the bonds...

and where we stash them.

lt's impossible.

We'll never

figure it out.

l'm gettin' a goddamn

headache from thinking.

''August 17, a week

from Wednesday. 2:00.

Parade for the astronauts.''

That's when we do it.

With all those mobs?

How do we get

out of there?

ln a radio car.

''150,000 people...

''are lining the streets

of Lower Manhattan...

''to watch the astronauts

parade up Broadway...

''to City Hall.

assigned to the job.''

You know the car?

Your radio car...

and the trouble

you've been having?

Well, here's what happens.

l have a very

nervous stomach.

Don't think about it.

You give great advice.

We get in,

we make our move.

lf we can't get

to the vault...

we back down

and get out quick.

Yes, officers?

Got a complaint about

objectionable items...

ejected from windows

on the northeast corner...

of the building.

What?

Somebody's throwin' junk

out the windows.

From this floor?

That's right.

Gotta check it out.

Well, l'll call

Mr. Eastpoole.
